An exchange offers the following SEN
sible suggestions: "The secret Of success
in mining lies for the most part in the
makeup of the miner. Given a good
prospect and ordinary facilities for devel-
oping a claim. the chief requisite to sus-
cess is .tsticktoativeness. or, in other
words, infinite faith, patience and perse-
verance. Prospectors who hang around

John Walsh is dividing his time be-
tween his ranch ON Bear creek and the
attractions of Idaho Springs. He has
been very successful in stock raising and
is now seriously contemplating trying his
hand at mining. He has been doing a
little prospecting recently in his vicinity
and has found gold values that indicate
there is something good not far away.
He has had assays going better than IS
to the ton, and an average taken from a
four foot outcropping ran s.. He has an
idea that better results will be secured
with depth. He will first do little
sinking, and if the result be favorable, a
crosscut tunnel will be driven about I,o
feet to the vein. This will secure
greater depth than has heretofore been
reached by the prospectors of that camp
and will do much toward solving whether
upper Bear creek contains gold in paying
quantities. 1t is well to state in this con-
nection that the opinion has for long
time been entertained by many that
some one is going to open up good ore in
the belt over the divide. This opinion is
based upon the placer gold and other in
dIcations.

FRANKLIN's GREAT TRIUMPH.
alton Saved for the Hour of
English Defeat.

When the treaty of Paris, which
established peace between the United
States and England, had been finally
signed and sealed, Franklin turned to
the English commissioners:
Gentlemen" he said, writes Alfred
Henry Lewis, in Everybody's Maya
zine, 81 observed you cast an eve
upon this old, spotted velvet suit
wear. Let me tell you what 1 would
have you tell to England. Once,
years ago, when these differences we
have just concluded lay still in the
seed, I bore petition to your Eng
lish privy council. 1 was laughed
and jeered at, if you will, as an out
lander and a savage of no rights, by
the grave chief justice and his asso-
ciates. They put forward a Scotch
cur, one Wedderburn, to mouth and
worry me. I was helpless, with no
friend save my conscience. On that,
my day of heaviest burden, 1 was
CARRIED in these spotted velvet
clothes. I will not pretend I was IN
moved, and in my hate and rancor
of the moment l made a mental VOW
that this raiment, worn in the hour
of my humiliation, I would yet wear
in the hour of British humiliation
and defeat. From that day to this
I have laid these garments by; and
now, please God, keep my VOW and
put them on"

FUN FOR THE ACTRESS.
Suggests Good System for
ArOusing Hotel Guests.

81 wast surprised at the thorough
ness of the hotel fire alarms of Wash
ington," said guest of one of the
leading hotels to representative of
the Star. ct was about two o'clock
this morning when the thing went off.
An actress came home from late sup
per, and not getting the elevator in
time, touched off the fire alarm. There
is little disc alongside of the elevator
bell on each floor, about the size of
an ordinary watch. A little nickel
hammer is attached by a chain, and on
the glass in the disc is painted the
words: In case of fire break this
glass The actress didn't do thing
to the glass, and as a result there was
the greatest commotion you ever
heard. The halls were filled with peo-
pie looking for fire-escapes, and most
of them had their summer clothes on.
Windows were thrown open, and it is
a great wonder some one did not Jump
out. Firemen ran hose in the halls in
every direction in a few seconds, and
then it was found to be false alarm.
Many of the ladies could not sleep
again, and remained in the office the
rest of the night It was great fun for
the actress, but it showed a most re-
markable system of alarm. I would
consider the system perfect. and 1 be-
heve, unless people got very much de-
morallzed, the entire hotel could be
emPtied in less than five minutes"

Healthiest place in the world.

On the strength of mortality Stats
tics prepared by the government of the
province of Ontario it is claimed that
Ontario is the healthiest place in the
world. The death rate last year was
1876 per 1000. But most of the deaths
are of infants and elderly people. The
death rate of the great class between
infancy and SIS years of age is only six
per 1000. This is death rate for the
working period of life lower than that
of any other country in the world

KING TRIED TO HIDE DEED.
Gave Money for the Salvation Army
and Refused to Give Donors
Name.

A good story of King Edwards in
terest in the Salvation Army is told
by Walsh Dawson. supporter of the
army's social work, reports the Lon
don Social Gazette.
Two years ago Mr.. Dawson, who had
interested himself in obtaining dona-
tions for social work, was on his way
one afternoon to call on a certain be-
nevolent peer, when he lost his way
in the thick fog. Suddenly he ran
against a man near Buckingham pal
ace. Apologizing, he asked the stran-
ger if he could direct him to the house
he was looking for. The reply was:
Certainly. am going there my
self. I'll show you the house,"
I'VE chatted away merrily," Mr..
Dawson continues. ST told him all
about my work and the labors of the
Salvation Army. He seemed deeply
interested and when I reached the
house he said: 1T is dreadful to think
that so much suffering exists in this
city. want you to accept little gift
for the poor, suffering ones and he
placed in my hand ten sovereigns.
Il was astonished and asked the
unknown donor what name | should
put down in the book. He replied, hur-
riedly: No name at all, please. Sim
ply anonymous Suddenly 1 saw his
face distinctly for the first time; it
was the prince of Wales, now the
king"

TRAMP AND CLUBMAN.
Singular Behavior of London Re-
cIuse Who Appears in Both
Characters.

A curious story of wealthy old
recluse is told by an English CORE
spondent of Household Words.
Not hundred miles from London,
and about five miles from a railway
station, he says, stands large house
in beautiful grounds. Two rooms
only in this house are occupied-one
by the owner and the other by his
servitor. The staircase is never used,
and communication between the two
rooms is by hole in the floor and a
rope ladder. The owners meals,
when cooked, are passed up through
this hole.
The chief popularity, however, of
this eccentric being is that twice a
week, late at night, he comes down
his rope ladder dressed as a tramp.
He then walks five miles to the sta
ton referred to, where he has a pri-
vate room. Here he changes his
clothes, energies in full evening dress
and goes by the last train up to
London.
1t has been ascertained that he
then takes a cab to one of the big
clubs in the neighborhood of Pail
Mall. What he does at the club is
not known, but he returns by the
first (newspaper) train in the morn
ing, when he repairs to his room at
the station, puts on the tramp's
clothes again and returns to his
house, where he resumes his peculiar
mode of life.
He has never been known to speak
to anyone in the village, and no one
can give reason for his quaint be-
havior, but local gossip has it that
he was Tilted as young man and
vowed that he would never again
speak to woman nor, so far as he
could avoid it, look at one again.

A COLLEGE GIRLS IDEA.
By DiIigent Study to Become an Ex-
pert Dietist, She Secures
Good Position.

The graduate of woman's college
who recently was engaged by the
New York department of charities as
consulting dietician appears to have
discovered an entirely new field OF
endeavor for members of her sex
who have received a liberal educa-
ton. Moreover, it is one in which
the possibility of male competition
is very slight, says the New York
Times.
While studying at college, the
young woman realized that it was
possible for her to become an expert
on matters of diet, and planned her
course to that end. Though not an
executive, she will soon be one. of the
most importantt officers of that
branch of the city government, be-
cause she is sent upon nvestigations
on everything concerning foods, their
preparation, their nutriment, and
their serving in the various institu-
tions. She reports directly to and
consults with the commissioner.
She has studied so as to be prac-
tical and scientific, too. She can
cook, from soups to cake, and she
has Prof. Atwater's food researches
at her fingers end. Along with old
fashioned housekeeping she took up
biology, physiology, chemistry and
domestic science. A man would have
a hard time competing with her I'M
less he was an expert cook and had a
good working knowledge of house
wifery
