Strange Craft.

A traveller says: THE strangest craft
have ever seen were the balsas OF
Lake Titicaca In Bolivia and Peru.
These balsas are made of an aquatic
plant growing In the waters of the
lake. The principle on which they are
constructed by the Aymaras Indians
proves their ingenuity. A bale of hay
naturally floats In the water. and ac-
cording to the quantity of dried grass
used In constructing the boat do they
control the displacement or carrying
capacity. These boats are likewise At
ted with a mast and sail. and in some
instances carry from eight to ten per-
sons. The Indians travel long distances
over this vast inland lake. the surface
of which Is on a level with the summit
of the Jungfrau of the Swiss Alps"

A Business Man on Bill-Paying.

When started in business made it
a cardinal rule to pay bills cheerfully,
and though | am now grayheaded l
never seen the time when | regretted
it. And why shouldn't be pleased
when bill is presented? | am the
party who has been accommodated
not the man who presents the bill; yet
there are men, am sorry to notice,
who always act grouchy when bill is
presented. AS matter of policy it is
better to assume a cheerful air when a
bill collector comes around. Collect
ing is not pleasant task, as know
from experience, a collector has enough
to contend with at the best. If | can
send him out feeling that he was just
as welcome as if he had come to pay
me money have made him moro Gem
Portable, and know that am. Some
times the bills come in just when | am
short of money, but if 1 pay the bill at
all, do it like lord if it takes the last
dollar | have. 1t doesn't make the
bill smaller to pay 1t grudgingly, but
it makes me look smaller to other
people. | have in mind a business
man whom others have said was an
unpleasant man to collect bill from,
but he always paid my bills with
smile and ! think a great deal more of
him for it, and it increases his credit
with me. No, if Pm feeling ugly aid
out of sorts the bill collector never
knows it. If the bill is right put on
my best smile, tell the collector he's
entirely welcome and tell him to come
again. rll bet he goes out thinking
am a gentleman and before the day is
over he tells everybody else that | am
a good man to do business with. The
man who is all smiles and graciousness
when you buy goods of him and surly
when you collect a bill is making
big mistake and driving away trade

INCORPORATION ARTICLES.
Important Paper Filed With the
County Clerk.

Articles of incorporation were filed
last Monday for the Wedekind Gold
Mining and Milling Co., of Mono coun-
ty, Cal. There are 1000, 900 shares of
share. The incorporators are J. l..
Wedekind, John a. Fitzgerald and E.
Hardy.
The property is situated in Little
Antelope Valley, Mono County, Cal,
and was discovered several years ago,
but no work of importance was done
until last fall when Messrs. Wedelxind
and Blackburn bought the property
aad commenced active development.
The property opened up in man
ner to surprise even the most sanguine
expectations of it's owners and soon at
tracted the attention of capital. An
offer of S250,000 was made by syndi-
cate for the property, but was rejected.
This offer still remains open. The
owners, however, concluded to incor-
porate locally.
Assays have been secured running
all the way from s3s to S50o, practical
ly all gold free milling. The ledge as
developed to depth of so feet, is from
four to ten feet in width dip of about
45 degrees and crops on the surface
for about 400 feet.
Wood and water is plentiful in the
neighborhood and the milling expenses
will be exceptionally light.
The purpose of the new incorpora
ton is to Immediately begin the con-
struction of a suitable plant for operat-
ing the mine and the early spring will
witness their completion
The stock of the new company is

The Honest Man Wins.

The world at large soon recognizes
the honest man in business and it is
quick to give him its approval. "Why
do you Cell with Mr.. Jones?' asks one
person of another. because he al
ways deals squarely with men," is the
reply. Such reputation soon be-
comes widespread. Nobody wants to
be CHI ated of the least farthing, and SO
everybody fiocks to the place of busi-
ness of him who gives value for value
aud who trades according to the tenets
enunciated in the Decalogue. An
honest business man is not only the
noblest work of God, but he is the
crowning triumph of struggling hu-
manity.
