TELEPHONES At TABLE.
TO Keep In Touch With Business Dur.
ing Lunch Hours.

What is described as the latest luz
ury-although to many people 10
would seem an intolerable nuisance
Is the lunch table telephone. Placed
on restaurant tables, when ordered by
customers. 1t serves to keep them in
touch with their business OF social
connections.
The merchant during his luncheon
hour can thus be kept In communica-
ton with his Office. or when dining at
the restaurant in the evening can book
seats for the theater or make appoint
ments with his friends.
In this way, it is claimed, busy men
can utilize the time during which they
are waiting for their meals TO be
served, and be kept constantly advised
OF the progress of important CONNER
cial transactions, the rise and fall OF
stocks, and the like.-Cassel's.

liven the campaign by suing the Inter

All of this furry is hardly felt in
business circles here. Investors
bought this stock in small blocks, much
as one Bucks" the slot machine.
Maybe 1t VIII win out" The ma
jority of them think 1t will yet. AL
though the present offered price for
illooet and Hawkeye stock is
only one cent n share, it Is doubtful
II any large amount can be secured
ut five cents. There is a disposition
on the part of these stock holders to
keep things quiet, as the removal OF
Messrs Schoenair and Bryson from an
examining committee, appointed by
stockholders, shows. No legal pro-
ceedings have so far been instituted.
None are likely. or course, there are
"carping critics." that say If the $751;
900 dredge worked overtime nights and
Sundays 1t couldn't dig gold enough to
pay dividends on $350,00o investment.
But other dredges can be built. the
river is long, and the same officials
for three companies can work very
cheaply, saving office rent, clerk hire.
etc
Perhaps the striking feature of this
whole affair Is the faith displayed by
the stockholders In the directors and
officials. Said officials have the pow
err to buy dredges and secure rights
to dredge the center of the river to pay
what salaries they see fit, and to vote

another chance to get in on the ground
floor. When this is sold there is no
law to prevent of still another COM
pany being formed. and so on, ad in
finitum adlibitum. The river is long,
the sand plenty, and more dredges
