AT LAST WALL STREET
TAXES TUMBLE TO MINING

Even now people do not yet appre-
ciate the significance Of the fact that
the worlds greatest production Of
gold was In 1908. and that there is
every prospect for an even greater
production this year. When 1t IL
recalled what was the effect of the
immense production which followed
the gold discoveries in California
aud Australia, aud how the recent
movement In American trade and
commerce was the result, in part. at
least, of notable increase in our
gold production. the fact that fur
ther great additions to the worlds
stock of the yellow metal are prac-
tically assured for several years to
come, becomes of immense signif-
cauce. 1t Is one uf those facts which
partake of the nature of miracles.
There Is another fact of larger in
terest in this connection, Ms it bears
upon the continuance of gold produc-
tion. This Is the fact of the 'cya-
nide process, by which low grade
ores become profitable. The cyanide
process was first introduced in South
Africa, being there applied to tail
ings. but its practicability in appli-
cation to ores was first demonstrated
In this country. This process can be
used with profit In all low grades
ores where there Is no copper present.
There Is even large profit in ores
containing only 81 Of gold to the
ton. This fact Is working great
change in gold mining. 1t is, for one
thing, putting the business on the
basis of manufacturing industry.
II is moreover making many aban-
doned mines profitable, and IL, of
course, In that way. increasing the
output of the yellow metal.
For this reason II seems pro bable
that gold mining will be more prom
inent than ever aud investments in
mining companies more common.

NO GOLD
IN VAULTS

A Washington Press dispatch Of
Saturday says that for the first time
in many years the treasury finds It,
self without any gold coin In its
vaults. 1t ia explained that this
condition Is the result Of an unprece-
dented demand for gold certificates
during time when the the mints have
been fully employed In coming Phil
ippine silver and subsidiary silver
for the United States.
The increased demand for gold GER
tificates, which could only be issued
for gold coin In the tre asury. came
about through the needs Of the large
banking institutions In the great
commercial centers, which had large
amounts of notes Of small denomina-
tions on hand which they wished to
exchange for gold certificates Of
larger denominations.
The secretary has given instruc-
tions for the mints at Philadelphia
and San Francisco to begin the coin
age of double eagles on February l,
and to work overtime until suffi.
cieut supply has been coined to meet
all demands.

Josh Billings Philosophy.

Wherever the husband makes mun- ny, and the wife saves it, thare happi- ness and thrift are pleased to take up their abode.
 Thare are times when it will do to play the fool just little.
 Sekrets are dangerous goods; their betrayal haz broken more friendships than any other one thing.
 The man who kant blush iz no wuss off than mule iz.
 Envy won't let man eat, drink, or sleep in peace.
 To listen quietly to islander iz to be silent partner in the concern.
 Impudence, like brass, soon grows dull.
 Mankind draw menny ov their vices and virtews from the very soil they liv on.
 It iz better to be true and faithful servant than a dissolute master.
 One ov the most diffikult things in a mans karakter to estimate iz the ak tual amount ov happiness he iz pos sessed Ov.

JAPANESE HOMES.
The Principle of Simplicity Marks It's
 Construction and Furnishing.

Construction and furnishing. The principle of simplicity In house furnishing, which so many profess these days and few practice, Is applied with great literaness by the Japanese. They have very little furniture in their houses, and much of that little, like cushions finger warmers and tobacco stoves, is only brought in when requir- ed. The only furniture which remains permanently in room is a screen or two, table a foot or two high-not for sitting at, but to support some val uable vase, and at New Years time tile three tiered sacred rice flour cakes, known as mochi. The beds are rolled up when not in use, and, though the owner may have many handsome vases, he does not like the American housewife, try to display them all at once. One or two are brought out at time, the rest being kept in a fire proof depository made of cement.
 The Japanese house Is as simple as its furnishings. It is all on one floor, and is so light and perlshable in its materials and construction that, even when secured for the night, it would in many cases scarcely bear the weight of drunken man leaning against it. The windows are of paper stretched across a wooden trelliswork, and paper screens, sliding in grooves, serve as par titions. The better class of houses are a little more substantial, and have glass in the windows but in land of earth quakes house that can fall about the ears of Its occupants without doing them any serious injury is perhaps the most desirable.
 These houses have no heating ar engagements, except little hand stoves, and the Japanese are seldom warm in winter beyond the tips of their fingers. But they do not seem to mind cold, and are so fond of air that among the poor CT classes the whole front of the house is usually taken down in the daytime, and replaced, if 1t is sunny, by curtains of dark blue or chocolate colored cot. ton.

MORNING BLAZE.
Caused by Explosion Of Chemicals Dou btIess.
but Easily Extinsuished.

About 4 o'clock. Saturday morning
an alarm from box 43 aroused our
community. 1t was caused by flames
in Sawyer & Fillsy's drug store. the
result of an explosion of chemicals in
a wareroom, just back of the soda
fountain and icecream parlor on the
north side of their store. Officers
Wright and Bennett, who were stand.
ing at the Main street front, at the
time OF the explosion, say that it was
several seconds afterwards that one of
the panes of the plate-glass front was
thrown into the street and crashed
into atoms, though not. apparently,
az an immediate result of the con.
cussion, but from a gradual accumu-
lation OF gases in the store, which
forced it outward. Very soon after
the release of vapor, flames were
seen on the partition and ceiling, and
it was then that the alarm was turned
in. The impression first produced by
the explosion was, that safe-crackers
were at work, and the guardians OF
the public had been directing their at.
tention to apprehension of supposed
marauders. When the fire laddies ar
rived they had no difficulty in subdu-
ing the flames by . stream from a
chemical fire extinguisher, thus saw

on the wharf 80 many years. He had
gone up town for some purpose and
had been absent only short time
when the fire was discovered by the

was leaving the dock who gave the
alarm BY blasts of the whistle. An
alarm was likewise turned in, but
failed to sound more than single

responded promptly, however, and
were doubtless directed by the dense
smoke ascending from the burnln
building. Some of the old hose burst
ed in conveying the stream of wafer
from hydrant on Columbia street,
and the wharf's auxiliary hose was
rather short for good service, but the
fire was confined to the small building
where it originated.

Tuesday night, just after dusk col.
lision happened between a horse and
wagon and street car, at the inter.
section OF Fourth and Adams streets,
which, through tho GOODNESS and
skill of the notorman, James Wander.
veer, resulted in no injury TO limb OIL
property. 1t seems that as the car
was passing at its ordinary speed, the
horse sprang, without warning, into
the street, bringing the wagon across
the track in front of the car The
latter was stopped so quickly tina,
only the fender struck the wagon
which was partly overturned. and the
occupants, boy and two girls, were
thrown out, while the horse started to
run furiously up Fourth street. One
OF the young ladies was somewhat
stunned by the fall, and was pulled
from under the horses feet by Officer
Mort, who was on the car, another
instance in which one of the peoples
guardians was in the right place al
the right time. The parties so closely
implicated in what might have been a
serious accident did not give their
