SHIPPED RICH 1ELLURlUM
Several Hundred Pounds Of Ore
Shipped to Selbv.

Several hundred pounds Of ore,
heavy with free gold and sylvanite
values, have been brought in from
the Lewis & Clark tellurium mine. ON
Canyon Greek. near Kerby. The ore
was shipped to the Selby smelter for
treatment. All of the rock gilttered
with the silver-like tellurium par
ticles. 1t was ore that would have
made the heart of Cripple Greek
miner leap with joy, for it is doubtful
if Cripple Creek, the famous home of
sylvanite ores, ever produced such
quartz as this, even in Its most palmy
days. And there is plenty of it in
sight out at the Lewis & CLARK.
"why, You can stand off several
rods and see it sticking out of the
rock, by candle light" declared
Manager J. Monroe Layman. enthu-
siastically. Colorado never pro-
duced finer ore than that. Just look
there" said he, and he uncovered
several large chunks, removed bodily
from the ledge. The chunks were
from five to six inches in width and
we're shot with free gold and tellu-
rinm. "That will give you an idea
of the width of the pay streak. There
are two of them, lying parallel. with
smaller veins running between. The
whole ledge is eight feet wide.
That's the pure juice of the grape,
gentlemen, the genuine mono-m metal.
Why, If such strike as this We're
made in Colorado, the road wouldn t
hold the crowd, SO great would be the
stamTede. "
When asked how much the ore from
the Lewis & Clark would run-that
brought in-Mr. Layman said that
much of it would give returns of
$4,000 ton.
The Lewis & Clark is new mine.
1t is being opened up by the Lewis &
CLARK Mining Company, Of which
Monroe Layman is manager, and the
headquarters of which is at Urbana,
Ill. 1t may be stated, in passing,
that the people of Urhana know some
thing about the Lewis and Clark
Fair They also know they have a
mine, and the development of the
poperty will be pushed with the
best possible speed, Mr., Layman
will return East in few days to
confer with his associates, and plans
will be laid for future work. He will
now be prepared to tell them just
what the Lewis & Clark lis, and can
back his statements with ore that
only Canyon Creek, Southern Oregon,
can produce.
This tellurium mine is in the heart
and center of a peculiar sylvanite belt
some 25 miles long and 10 miles wide,
of western Josephine county. Aside
from the Lewis q CLARK claims there
are the Iron-clad. Century, Bullion
and Golden Age claims in the prop
erty of the company, all adjacent and
belonging to this sylvanite belt. The
formation of the rock here is lime
spar and horn blend, with black and
gray slate.
The rich strike, or the rich ore'
now being uncovered in the Lewis q
Clark is from depth of 100 feet in {
direct tunnel on the vein. Develop
{ ment will proceed in this, and is als'
being done in five other tunnels oI

, and will be employed continually
The mine is 10 miles from Kerby

Lie in Rome.

The strangest thing about life in
Rome is that one not only does as the
Romans do, but ends by thinking as the
Romans think, feeling as the Romans
feel. The best illustration | know of
this is the mental attitude of the
foreign residents toward certain super
stitions, notably the belief in the evil
eye-the malocchio or jettatura, as ii
is indifferently called. / never knew
an Italian who did not hold more or
less to this superstition. Americans
who have lived long in Rom either re-
luctantly admit that there does seem
TO be something in it," or, if they are
Roman born, quietly accept it as enc of
those things in heaven and earth of
which philosophy fails to take ac-
count.
In certain respects the Italian is
markedly free from superstition as
compared with the Celt or the Scot; for
instance the fear of spirits CT ghosts is
so rare that have never met with it;
on the other hand, the belief in the
value of dreams as guides to action is
deep-rooted and widespread. The
dream book in some families is held
hardly second in Importance to the
book of prayer. The Italians emf
nently practical nature makes him
utilize his dreams in playing the lot
to- as the buying of lottery tickets is
called. To dream of certain things in
dicates that one will be lucky and
should play The choice of the number
is the chief preoccupation of the hard
ened lottery player. 1t is decided by
the oldest chance-by the number en-

found again, or the number of cab

Directors Liability in England.

Two test actions brought by share
holders in the Standard Exploration
company against Lord Edward Pelham
Clinton and Gen. Gough-Calthorpe,
who were directors, have been for
several days before Justice Joyce.
False statements are alleged to have
been made in the prospectus, and the
two defendants are sought to be made
liable. The principal allegation is
that large holding were said to have
been acquired in the London and
Globe and it's ancillary companies, the
profits whereon were more than suffi-
cient to pay dividend Of 10 per cent.
on the current year. The company
failed year after the prospectus was
issued and a dividend of shillings
was paid to the creditors, none of the
being paid anything. II
is said the directors either knew or
ought to have known the Statements

about in the forests, living on such as

woody and bushy, and their toes are
remarkably prehensile, they using

FOREST CULTURE IN BRAZIL.
Wanton Destruction in the Past Leads
to Care Now.

From United States Consul-Gen-
eral Seeger, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
1t is only recently that the United
States has taken the necessary steps
toward a national and rational forest
culture. AS yet comparatively few
have a proper appreciation of what an
important economic, meteorologic, and
political factor in national life ma
TONS forests constitute. Cyclones and
floods and climatic changes detrimental
to the productivity of the soil, recur-
ring with increasing frequency in The
west and southwest Of the Uni,
States, must be taken as an inevitable
punishment for the reckless waste of
the nations most precious treasures
its forests. The lesson to be deduced
therefrom can not be pointed out too
often, lest conditions be brought
about similar to those in northern
Brazil, where, through the devastation
of forests, large states have been
brought to the verge of ruin. The
chronic droughts and torrefaction in
the states of Rio Grande do Norte and
Ceara, with consequent famine and de-
population, against which relief meas
ures on a large scale have now to be
put in operation by the national gov
eminent of Brazil, have to be traced to
the wanton destruction Of the timber
once abundant in those regions. The
following paragraph concerning this
important subject, contained in the last
number of the Brazilian Review, might
proftably be reproduced by the press
of our own country:

FISHER FOLK OF HOLLAND.
Exclusive People Who lntermarry-
Are Total Abstainers.

Pilgrim.-The presence of ANY for.
eigner, Dutch II otherwise. trading OF
living the life of the people, would not
be tolerated for day in most of the
, Dutch fishing villages. No person
| from the mainland has for years taken
up his abode on the Island of Marker.
They intermarry with each other; the
priest forbids their marrying within
the third degree, and they implicitly
obey him. They never marry out Of
their own village, and this accounts
for the extraordinary similarity in
their faces; they might all have been
cast in the same mold. To those who
approach them in friendly manner
the men are as interesting and at
tractive as the women. Both sexes
are singularly good-loobing, with reg
ular featTtes and blue eyes. The
women have beautiful complexions,
the mems are bronzed by the sun or
the sea. At first the latter appear
somewhat surly and defiant, burt that
is generally due to snyness, and they
soon become kindly and courteous.
They are nearly all teetotalers, their
drink being weak tea or coffee, which
they take several times a day, aud on
which they seem to thrive, for they
are splendid race. They are very
moral and religious; at o'clock every
evening, in the Roman Catholic Will
ages, the AngelUs rings and then both
the men and women rise from their
sitting postures at the doors; the men
doff their caps and the women lay
down their knitting; all bend their
heads, in prayer. Religion is no mere
name to these simple fishing folk.
Both men and women are very fond
of jewelry. and most of the cottages
contain good many gold and silver
ornaments, necklaces OF curious de
signs, and solid gold head bands, call
ed helmets, with rosettes of gold fill
gree on each side. In Friesland there
are a number of goldsmiths' shops
When in holiday dress the men almost
outshine the woh-lT in their love of
self.adornment Their shirts are fast.
ened with gold button links, and are
embroidered with black lines; they
wear velvet knee breaches and silver
buckles tn their shoes, which are often
richly chased In most of the fishing
villages the men, when in full dress
wear four great silver buttons: these
are often decorated with scriptural
subjects in repousse. They are enor-
mously proud of their buttons, which
are heirlooms from father to son.
Most of the Dutch fisher folk are very
well to do; they are thrifty and eco.
nomical and their wants are few; they
have no desire for luxUrIes. They
rarely touch meat, are total abstain
ers, and this is probably the reason for
the high standard Of morality which
obtains among them. We. in England
could learn many a lesson from the
fisher folk of Holland.

fully to increase the general efficiency.
