THUNDER MOUNT AIN.
Nash Wayland Buying More
Supplies in Lewiston.
Dixie Trail Will Be Great Convenience
to Packers-Forty Pack Trains
Busy-South Gets Trade.

Nash Wayland, who in associa-
tion with his father, L. A. Way
land, owns a, large number of
claims on Thunder Mountain, is
in the city. The Wayland prop
erty comprises fifteen claims and
one of the groups is within 600
feet Of the Dewey mill. The prop
erty was acquired before the
Thunder Mountain stampede and
during period when there were
no trails into the country. In
entering the country the Way
lands RATED some of their sup
plies for a distance down the
Salmon river and were compelled
to swim that stream twice. They
have retained the fullest conf
dence in Thunder Mountain dur
ing the period of uncertainty and
as a result still own some of the
most valuable property in the
camp, which they have steadily
developed. On one of the prop
critics a lead 80 feet wide and
showing all the characteristics of
the Dewey ore, has been exposed
for 600 feet. The development
of the properties will be steadily
continued.
Mr.. Wayland's trip here at this
time is to purchase supplies to
comprise a cargo for his pack
train. The train will comprise
about so animals on the trip now
to be made. The supplies now
being purchased will weigh about
1000 pounds and will be sent to
Sites by train and thence hauled
by wagon to Grangeville, where
the pack train will be loaded
The present cargo will be the
third sent out by Mr.. Waylant
from Lewiston this year, the pur
chases making a total of ovel
30, 900 pounds. On the first tril
the train left in Nav and on th(
last one in August.

of the Thunder Mountain trade,

New York, FEBRUARY bit is often said
of New Workers. that In our best society
there Is an unwritten law that no one
cares from whence people come. or from
whom, provided they have two qualif1ca-
tions, first riches and secondly DISPOSE
ton to use them. Among those who have
come into social prominence within the
last few years are the Thomas F. Ryans.
For twenty years and more Mr.. Thomas
L. Ryan has been well known financier
and a prominent citizen, and Mrs. Ryan
a charming and cultivated lady devoted
TO do good. OF late years the almost ir-
resistible pressure of the social world to
drag out of retirement persons of COM
handing position has been exerted upon
them and because. 1t was known that
years ago Ryan was one of those who
came to this city in search of fortune the
rule referred to was applied. The tendency
is to stifie inquiry.
Everybody admits that In the gay and
glittering throng which is conceded to be
metropolitan fashion an ancient pedigree
not well sustained by credit at the bank
is not worthy of consideration. It Is a
world that has little use for poor people.
1t respects family on occasions, just as
it respects old china: but rich people are
founts from which flow the pleasures of
fashion. Well, then. the Ryans went along
their ways. Mr.. Ryan developed a mar
veous genius for organization, manage
ment and finance. Millions came to him.
Mrs. Ryan brought up her family care
fully, and gave much of her time to re-
lieying the distress of those who required
1t, and making use of her husbands
wealth as he kept giving 1t to her, built
churches, chapels Industrial schools etc.

life.
| happened to be in Albany the other
day. being interested in the dispute be-
tween two sets of ladies belonging to two
patriotic societies over the control of the
Jumel mansion, which has recently been
purchased by the city. A lady who be-
longs to the Colonial Danes was deplor-
ing the lack of interest certain New
Workers take in revolutionary affairs. She
said: I'VE have in New York a lady who
is spending millions in churches and
schools and yet she takes no interest in
our Colonial society. This to me seems so
strange when all her ancestors were prom
inent before the revolution"
| asked the lady's name.
Mrs. Thomas +. Ryan" she replied.
My..1onk of surprise perhaps, caused
her to say: Il thought you knew who
your best people are; it seems you do
not. Yes, Mrs Ryan is directly descended
from the best people in Virginia, Mrs
Ryan's great, great, great grandmother
was Miss Sarah Ball, first cousin of Mary
Ball, the mother of George Washington"
/ then learned some interesting facts
which proves that when the wheel of
fortune turns it sometimes brings to the
front the descendants of those who were
great people in their own time. This is
encouraging to the descendants of our
old Dutch and Tory families who have
vanished from the social surface in this
era of gold.

The Rev. DR.. J. Minot Savage, pastor Oh
the Church of the Messiah, preached a
sermon recently which closed with GU
rjous anecdote Of Henry Ward Beecher.
Or Savage said: IAN intimate FRIEND OF
Mr. Reecher told me one day that MI.
Beecher told him that it was no uncom-
mon thing for him to preach IN trance.
He did not say that he always did 1t, but
that II was an experience that was not
unknown to him. He would rise ana De-
gin TO speak, when there would be SUD
don rush of blood to the head and he
weuld lose consciousness. and those were
the days when he preached his most WON
darfu1 sermons. He would come to him
self to find the people leaning on the rail-
in front of him. absorbed and intent with
listening. and when some one would ask
him what he meant by saying spec1ai
thing. he would have to wait Tor a re-
port of the sermon to see what IL was.
He reports this as an actual experience"
brisk demand is reported to exist for
male stays, and other varieties OF form
for men. Some merchant tall
ors declare that the mans corser IS more
in demand for spring business than ever
before and they predict that corsetted
men win be conspicuous in the Fifth ave-
nue. promenade next Easter. The corset
shaped waistcoat has also been introduced.
Custom corset makers are reported as be-
ing unusually busy on mems rush orders.

The United Confederate Veterans,
