The average for the past six years has been 460,000, and is increas- ing owing to new plantations.

 In this age of contrasts there is none more striking than that of the vast differ ence between salaries paid to men in va rious walks of life. The man who has achieved the highest success in states manship or in educational work or in the pursuit of science may be. in point of money earned, only equal, if not inferior, to the man who has managed to forge to the front in some vocation that yie1os profits greatly in excess of the actuai value of the services rendered.
 The President receives s50000 year and though 1t is not necessary. feels keenly the responsibility of having the country on his hands. The latest jockey wonder is said to earn something over S50,0o0 an nually, and has for his cares nothing greater than the condition of his noun, and the necessity of winning the moneyed events of the turf.

The bottles are placed neck downward, slantwise, at an angle of 6G degrees.

extension of the land purchase system.
He had never known bill that could
be so riddled with objections. It's rem

support it. He said if this bill failed
there would be no more purchases be-

A LEDGE OF JADE.
Sacred Stone of chinese discovered
in Northern California.


Grants Pass, Or, May IA min
eral discovery of great Importance has
been made on Indian creek, near the
Grants Pass Crescent City stage road,
and Just south of the Oregon-Callfornia
stage line. The discovery consists IN
the uncovering of a six-foot ledge of
Jade, the sacred stone of the Chinese.
A quantity of specimens of the mineral
we're brought into Grants Pass from
the strike and are announced by miner
alogists to be first rate in quality. This
is the first time jade has been discover
ed in stu on the North American con-
tinent.
For number of years past fragments
have been picked up in the Indian
creek and Althouse districts, on the Or
egon-C alifornia line, but the peculiar
green colored stone was unfamiliar to
the miners of the district. The float
fragments were later examined by a
mineralogist and the discovery made
that they were jade. A search result
ed in a ledge of the mineral being
found on Indian creek. A number of
claims have been located and consid-
cradle rush has been created to the dis
trict through the discovery of the rare
stone.
Jade is one of the first discovered
minerals. 1t was much used in prehis-
toric eras for utensils and weapons, and
was highly priced, especially in the
Orient, for ornamental carvings, rings,
bracelets, vases, etc. 1t is a tough,
compact stone, varying in color from a
pure white to dark or pale green. Its
extreme toughness makes it difficult to
secure drills of sufficient hardness to
work the stone. The best drills are
blunted on jade inca short time.

SOME CONCESSIONS.
Indications That Great Northern
Matters Will Be Settled.

st. Paul, May 1.-The canvass on
the vote taken on the Great Northern
system as to whether the general COM
mittee shall he sustained in their pro-
test against the double header on the
system has been completed. The grand
officers, however, refuse to make known
the result until after conference with
General Manager Ward, which will
probably be held tomorrow.
The indications are that there will
not be any strike. Mr.. Ward made a
number of concessions, the most impor-
tant of which was an offer to agree that
not more than three per cent of the
trains on the whole system should be
run as double headers. This is about
the percentage now run.
The men are said to regard this offer
as liberal one. They say that by the
agreement entered into with the Nor
tbern Pacific and Southern Pacific these
roads can run from seven to ten per
cent double headers if they choose.
After the conference with the general
manager the men held a meeting to
discuss the proposals made, but moth
ing definite was accomplished.
