STUDYING PHILIPPINES.
A Grammar of Tagalog Prepared by q
Johns Hopkins Professor.

For two years past DR.. f. r. Blake has
been conducting courses in the Tagalog
and Visayan languages at Johns Hopkins
university. Tagalog is spoken by most of
the inhabitants of the northern part of the
Philippines and is the language of the ed
ucated and more intelligent classes Visa
yam prevails very largely in the great CEN
trail group of the archipelago. Dr. Blake
has now prepared a practical grammar of
the Tagalog tongue and there is no doubt
it will be most helpful to all Americans in
the Philippines. Practically all the works
on the Philippine language and dialects
are in Spanish or German At last We
have a practical Tagalog annual in Eng
lish.
If keep on studying the languages
and the customs of the natives of our new
possessions viii be doing just what the
British did during the rise and expansion
of their dominion in India. or more than
40 years the British government has en-
couraged linguistic and chronological re-
search in India as much possible BY
this means the work of acquiring a more
intimate knowledge Of the peoples of India

was facilitated, and it was worth all it
cost. many times over.
In 1900 the American Oriental society
urged upon congress the Importance CT
extending the work of the bureau of Amer
lean ethnology to the Philippine Islands
for the study of the languages and Gus
toms of the native populations and the ,s-
suing of simple vocabularies and other
works which would be of use to officers
of the army and navy and the civil service
in those islands. Congress has not yet seen
fit to act upon this suggestion. though its
practical Importance has been urged not
only by orientalists. but also by some of
our foremost representatives in the Philip
pines. If the work which the bureau of
ethnology has done among our Indian
tribes had been carried out a half century
ago should have understood the aborig-
ines better and doubtless would have been
wiser in our dealings with them. The
white race has succeeded best in it's inter-
course with other races when all the par
ties concerned have come to know each
other well.
II is an old story that the great mutiny
Of 1857 in British India might have been
averted if it had not been that the car
tridges for the British rifles then in use
were CREASED with suet and lard. The
Hindu Sepoys of course had a great preju-
dice against both these articles, while the
lard was an abomination in the eyes of the

would have been wiser to study the road
maps and pick out our route more care
fully, for we climbed many mountains
and many hill which we found after
wards we might have avoided. Still we
have seen the country and don't mind
the extra steps we may have taken.

First Estimate of Damage by

Solid and Safe.

With but one exception every build

by the flood viii be saved. The eX-
ception is the building at 926, near the
fire station which has been lettering
since the water went down. It Will
have to be completely dismantled. 1t
was old and poorly constructed, so that
its collapse is not surprising and its
loss will not be a serious one
Fire Marshal Wilmarth. who has kept
himself constantly informed about the
condition of buildings on the North
side. said this morning: We'll save
nearly every building on North Kansas
avenue that we at first thought would
have to be pulled down. That is. the
buildings will not have to be demol-
ished entirely Work is in progress in
UNDERMINING them where they have
settled and strengthening the walls that
show signs of weakness. In many in
stances part OF the walls will have
to be removed and replaced but the
larger portion of every building that
was weakened by the water can and
will be szvad.
Among the buildings that were
DANA ged none seemed more in dangeH
of momentary collapse than the double
Barrett building at 1902 and 1904 North
ing of the inner wall the second floor
fell in, and it looked as though the
rest of the building would go with it.
But we find the outer walls, front and
back, in very good shape; they will
stand all right. The Jones building al
Go will be as good as ever after d
thorough UNDERMINING and work on the
walls. A part of the south and from
walls of the three-story building at S3l
North Kansas avenue, owned by Mr.
Letter OF Chicago. will have to be re-
built. but the biggest part of the build
ing will be all right The buildings oc-
cupied by the Henry and the FOucht
stores, jonathan Thomas building oc>
cupied by Aaron Sheetz. can be re-
paired and be made as good as ever.
There was a general supposition inn
mediately after the flood that almost
all of the large buildings on North
Kansas avenue had been so weakened
that they would have to be torn COM
pletely down for safety. That impress
sion was quite wrong Many buildings
sustained damage from the settling OF
walls and in many cases considerable
expense will be necessary to make them
habitable. But with the one exception
of the building al 926 North Kansas
avenue the North side business houses
can all be put back in condition for use
after their walls have been properly
strengthened. Work is already in prog
ress upon most of them

WONDERFUL GOLD FIND.
Quartz Found In British Columbia Goes
Over 100000 Ton.

Over 100000 Ton.
Kaslo, B. c., June 25.-Frank Mar
quis and George Gilbert came in from
the Lardo Duncan country with reports
of a gold find that casts everything be
fore heard of in that belt completely
in the shade. They have pieces o.
quartz that are more than one hal
gold. These specimens will run II
values to the ton up to figures almost
incredible. Intense excitement was
aroused and the room where the fine
was on exhibition has been thronged
all day. In the fruit can brought down
there is about 500 worth Of gold
Parties are being rapidly formed tc
proceed to the place Of the find and
giving every assistance to others who
may wish to make additional loca
tons. Mr.. Marquis, who is a reliable
and experienced mining man, states
that he has at very lowest estimate
over a ton of ore ready to be sacked
that will give at least 100000.
The property, which is called the
Gold Park group. Of two claims, is on
Poplar creek, tributary of the Lardo
river, about one mile from the Koote-
nay & Arrowhead railway and about
20 miles from Lardo. The find was
made while doing assessment work.
Some 20 open cuts have been made,
in all Of which good ore has been I'M
covered giving fair values, but moth
ing like this find was met with. The
ore is white quartz and carbonates,
carrying big quantities Of free gold and
chloride Of gold.
The vein from which this ore was
taken is about seven inches wide, wild
ening In places to 10 inches, the whole
gangue being impregnated with filigree
gold. The vein has been uncovered
in places for several hundred feet.
The owners came to town to procure
supplies, more tools and sacks to sack
the ore, and will return at once. A
large party is preparing to accompany
them. Several parties have already
left for the ground.
The country is very heavily timbered
and the immediate vicinity is rough
and precipitous. Numerous finds have
been made on the Lardo and its tribu-
taries of gold quartz carrying gold
values, but nothing approaching this
has ever been met with.
The strike is about 40 miles from
Kaslo and is not far from Tenderfoot
and Meadow creeks, where good prop
critics are being now worked. Marquis
and Gilbert say that they are in the
same mineral belt with the Silver Cup,
the Triune and the Ophir Lode groups,
all of which carry the same character
of ore.
