TO COLLECT DATA.
Interior Department Officer
Here For This Pur-
pose.

George +. Boss, a special agent
sent out by the Interior Department
to gather certain data relative to the
mining industry for the United States
Geological Survey, division Of mining
and mineral resources, arrived In the
city Monday, and will occupy the
Office Of w. G. Calder at the Hotel
Sumpter while here. Generally
speaking the information which he
seeks includes the character Of the
mining firm or organization, the
location Of its property, the amount
Of Its capital stock, dividends or
assessments, the number Of men
employed above and underground
with the total salaries paid, and the
total amount of ore, with Its value,
mined, sold or treated during the
year 1902. Mr.. Boss will be In the
city several days and he states that
IL would greatly facilitate matters
II mine operators would call at bis
Office and furnish him the necessary
data. He has spent some time In
Baker City gathering information
regarding the mines tributary to that
point.

HIGH VALUES AT
THE LUCY GROUP.
Prest. Stott Reports That Face
OF Drift Shows Good
Gold Sulphides.

A letter from Sam r. Stott,
president of the Greenhorn Mines
and Development company, Of Green
horn City, operating the Lucy group
in the Greenhorn district, to Morris
Sullivan, vice president Of the COM
pany, who Ia now In the city, yester-
day, states that the ledge Is getting
more solid and is carrying good
values In gold sulphides. He roasted
some of the ore and psnned some,
and while NO assays have been made,
he says that II will doubtless yield
high values. Mr.. Stott further
stated In bis letter that all the logs
for the cabins have been cut and
peeled, and that arrangements are
being made for continuous develop
ment work.
The property Of the company con.
sists of three elaine, the Lucy, the
Music and the o. K, situated near
the Morning, Earl and Psyche, and
containing Q continuation Of the
Morning ledge. There 10 an excel.

lie on the head waters Of Big Creek
In the vicinity Of the we'll known
properties mentioned. The main
ledge Ia contact between slate and
serpentine, the serpentine forming a
reef about hundred feet higher than
the slate lying alongside. The vein
parallels Big Creek which flows
through all the claims.
The present work consists Of a
drift on the ledge. II was In the
face Of the drift that Mr.. Stott
encountered the high values reported.
1t Ia a blind lead and as yet has
not been crosrcut, but II is thought
that 1t will average between eighteen
and twenty feet In width. 1t is
regarded AZ one Of the very promising
properties Of the Greenhorn district.
MIR. Sullivan, who Is familiar with
the group and the character Of the
ore 1t produces, states that In his
opinion with ninety days Of we'll
directed development work the
property will rank equally with the
Earl, Morning and Big Johnnie.

a 1,o1 IN TITLES.

Elaborate Classification of Rank
That Rules In Denmark.
The Danish classification of rank il
a very elaborate one. built up Of Of
fees, orders, birth and titles, writes ].
Brochner in Danish Life In Town and
Country" There are nine classes,
which are divided into as many as \
dozen subsections, each of which may
again comprise score or two Of diff
ferent titles and offices, yet there was
complaint in one of the Danish papere
the other day that II was anything but
complete.
Holders of titles have to pay an an
nual tax ranging from $3.50 in the
first class to misery 1888 in the
ninth. There are about score of diff
ferent titles, several of which are again
divided into real and Others" the
''rear being several shades better than
the Others
These titles are always used in con-
versation, as, for example, Will not
the chamberlain have cigar?'' or
"Mr. Chamberlain, will you not have
cigar?' And it requires fairly
clear head and good memory to give
everybody his due in large party.
especially as some of them are deco
rously long, as, for instance, geheime-
conferentsraad.
Then there are ladies, who generally
have "inde" 1.-THE English "ess') added
to their husbands title or Office. A
coloners wife. for instance, is called
oberstinde, and the wife of the cham
berain to the king kammerherreinde,
and so forth.
But the subtleties of the additional
titular address in writing even excel
| the verbal form. That persons of the
first rank are "excelencies" is only
natural but gentlemen Of the second
class have on documents addressed to
them high we'll born" pretixed to
their title and name. and those Of the
third class a high and we'll born" |
much regret that cannot explain why
the addition of this land" should
somewhat detract from the value Of
the same words.
Gentlemen Of the ninth class are adj
dressed as "well honorable and well
bred,' which is, think, almost more
than they could expect for their 1888.

Bridget and Norah Murphy, fresh

Sam Parks.

The second conviction of Sam Parks

to the peculiar usefulness of the grafters
who have Systematically for some years
worked the unions for corrupt ends There
was no denial at this trial of the bare facts
alleged by the prosecution. Parks on the
stand brazenly acknowledged that ne had

contractors as an Initiation fee" He set
UP the defense that ii was for the union
He proved nothing. The court properly in

in demanding the payment under threats of
continuing a strike which was proving
costly to the contractors. The jury evil

dered a verdict of guilty wIthin twelve min

1t is well to bear in mind the ruling of
the court on this matter of the beneflciaries
of money thus secured from employers The
law cannot safely recognize as legitimate
any transaction which is based upon threats
to do evil. The ideal relationship between
employer and employed is that of the for

his fellows. to ensure uniformity of treat
