Succeeding years confirmed this sue

lions of grand opera ceased to cost her
anything financially. On the contrary,
she had never done so well in the halls.
At the Theater of Ravenna, at the
Grand Theater of Palermo, at the
Opera of st. Petersburg, and notably
at the ultra-artistic Casino-Theater at
Monte Carlo she has had repeated en-

And she has bought a mansion in the

Beautiful Old Maid.
. 1t is a quiet street and rich-the
Avenue de Messine. 1t is a short
street of only 81 numbers, running
from the statue of William Shake
speare in the little square of the Boule-
ward Haussmann to the delightful Pare
Monceau, surrounded by it's palaces.
It is a street of the newly rich, per-
haps; few great titled families live in
it. But those who inhabit it are snug
and at peace with the world. Well,
among all, there will be none more
snug than most glorious old maid.
You know who it is. There can be
but one such-"the most beautiful old
maid in the world"
In her own way she is happy. Is it
not strange Here is beauty gone to
waste, you will say. Well, judge for
yourself Some time ago the somber
sister had a slxittish moment. It in
cited her to prove her equal beauty.
How she dressed in one of Llna's
gowns and posed to one of the first
Paris photographers as her famous sis

once told.
For a time the counterfeit present

practically undistinguishable from pho

Good for Hepburn.

Reports from Washington state
that Senator Hepburn appeared
before the public lands commit
tee Of the senate and presented
the merits of his bill to deprive
the president of the power to
create forest reserves and repos-
ing that power in congress. The
press reports say the senator's
address to the committee was a
"hot and impulsive one," during
which he made an attack upon
the forest reserve policy of the
government, upon the forest SER
vice, upon Chief Forester Pin
chot and upon the president
1t is pleasure to note that the
state of Idaho has at least one
representative in congress who
has the courage to stand up for
the interests of the people of the
state, and to protest against the
spoilation by executive procla-
nation of the undeveloped public
domain within the borders Of the
state.
The people of north Idaho are
out of all patience with the policy
of the present administration
which has taken such a large
percentage of the public domain
and closed it against the enter
prise and activities of our people
and the people outside of Idaho

these fields for the employment

singular or unusual that Senator
Heyburn's remarks were hot
and impulsive." It is difficult
to calmly and dispassionately dis
cuss this appropriation by the
federal government, and if on
this occasion the senator even
forgot himself and lost his tenn

WASHINGTON NEWS.

(From Northwest Press Association.)
Senator Hepburn introduced a
bill last week providing for the
creation of a National Board of
Corporations, and providing for
the regulation of corporations en-
gagged in Interstate commerce.
Before requesting that the bill
be referred to the proper COM
mittee of the senate, he made eX-
tended remarks on the subject of
his bill giving out his views on
the all-imporlant topic now before
congress.
The question of corporation
control is the rock on which the
republican party threatens to di-
vide, and a great many bills have
been introduced in both houses
of congress in the effort to find
some common basis on which the
different factions in congress
and the president can agree. In
explaining the composition of the
proposed board which is to regu-
late and supervise corporations,
the senator said:
"Mr. President, the bill which
have introduced and which is
now upon the table provides first,
for the creation of a tribunal
within the existing government
which shall supervise and deter
mine the status of the corpora
tions. 1t proposes to exercise nc
control over them other than such
control as is necessary to enable
them to determine those facts.
1t provides that this boarC
shall be authorized to inquire
into the business status of al
corporations engaging in inter-
state business, for the purpose of
determining the character of the
corporation, the nature of the
business that it proposes to en-
gage in, and the relation which
the capital of that corporation
or the capitalization Of it bears
to it's assets.

THAT region looks very much
like the Black Hills in many re-
spects, and portions Of it are
much more wild and gloomy in
natural conditions. 1t will re-
quire much more work and en-
terprise than in any other portion
of the land, but if very rich
mines are discovered these diff
iiculties will all be overcome.
Undoubtedly this region will
give opportunity to the prospec-'
sor for many years to come, and
is it has been in nearly every
great mining region ever found
upon earth. First there would
be years when only light indica-
tions would be discovered, and
then after time the great quartz
mines then it is with placer prop
ositions. The idea that gold is
never found very much in regions
covered with the kind of rock
found over this entire region will
not hold good, for it is a fact
that gold is found where you
find it, and it never has been
found before in just the condition
anywhere else that it was dis
covered at Republic.
God has arranged these things
differently in various places, and
He has seen to it that in the
matter of gold there is no certain
scientific principal relative to the
kind of material in which it is
found or the shape of the land
where it can always be discov-
cred, and the only thing we know
is that it runs along certain lines
is If the Almighty hand Of God
1ad sown it up and down the
co tinents.'

Euster is republished from the

How to Know Wolfram.

teresting facts concerning wolf
ram which may be useful to pros
pectors in search for this preci-
Gus metal:
Wolfram is Of a black or deep
brownish color, and has a luster
somewhat resembling black gless
but with a metallic or sub-me-
talic tinge. In breaking it usual
ly cleaves along fiat, shining
faces, very much like antimony,
and in this respect is very diff
erent from the conchoidal frac-
ture of broken glass. Where ex-
posed on the surface this cleav-
age is not always present. On
handling the mineral one is i'm
pressed with it's specific gravity;
it is heavier than iron, not quite
so heavy as lead-about the
weight of metallic copper. The
following list shows the specific
gravity of wolfram compared to
that of other substances: Wolf
ram 7.8, magnetic 5, hematite 5,
hornblende 3, titanic iron 5, tin
stone 7, rutile and metallic iron
7, metallic copper 8, lead II, and
water l (the standard).
The streak is the mark left
when the mineral is scratched by
a substance harder than itself,
and corresponds with the pro-
ducer when the mineral is finely
crushed. Minerals agreeing with
one another in color very rarely
have the same colored streak OF
powder, and this fact is useful il
distinguishing wolfram from
those minerals which otherwise
it closely resembles. Magnetic
hematite, titanic iron, manga
nese, dioxide, tourmalin, tinston,
hornblende, zincblende, blacl
volcanic glass, etc., are all blacl
or most of their varieties are
but vary considerably in tn
color of their streak.
The streak of magnetic, coal
or manganese is black, that O
tourmalin, tinstone, rutile, horn
blende and volcanic glass is o
various shades, but all ligh
colored, while helnatite, zinc
blende, chromite and titanic iro
resemble that of wolfram in hav
ing a dark-colored streak tinge
with brown or red.
The hardness of a mineral
also a very useful test. Titani
iron, chromite, wolfram, horr
blende are about as hard as
? common knife blade, whilst hen
: attic, tourmalin, magnetic, tir
stone and franklinite are a
harder.

when cold. With microscopic
salt it gives a colorless bead in
the oxidizing and becomes blue
on cooking; on the addition Of
iron it is blood red.
Wolfram when present in small
quantities may be detected as
follows: The sample is fused
with about five times its weight
of sodium carbonate; the mass
extracted with water and the
tungstic acid precipitated in the
form of white powder by means
of hydrochloric acid. This pre-
cipitate becomes yellow on boil
ing, and is insoluble in excess Of
the acid, but dissolves in am
monia. The solution after acidi-
fication gives a deep brown color
alton with potassium ferrocyanide
!. and after some time a precipitate
Of the same color separates out.
The solution, after adding the
, Sammonia, gives a white precipi-
taSe with silver nitrate and yell
low stannous chloride. On acidi-
. ication with hydrochloric acid
and warming, the precipitate
becomes a beautiful color, which
is very characteristic. If wolf
. ram is usually associated with
tinstone, and for a long time the
separation of the minerals was
I, matter of considerable difficulty,
it is now effected by roasting the
crushed mineral with carbonate
Of soda, by which means tung-
- state of soda is formed and the
tin ore can be separated. The

owner converted in our meetings
in Anaconda some eight years
ago." said he, with whom II
ofttimes went out, whose father
was one of the oldest and FIRE
most prospectors in the Rocky
Mountain region, and he told me
that the next great mining region
for gold and other precious
metals would be the region
known as the Bitter Root mount
aims, reaching from the Occur d
Alene regions to somewhat this
side of Boise.
Now if you will take a map
and study the matter carefully,
placing your pins in every region
where much gold has already
been discovered, all the-way from
Helena, Montana, to California
and Nevada, and from the towns
of Wardner and Wallace to Boise
and Baker City, you will soon
get the general run of things
mineral. You will thus get a
good idea of the general trend of
mineral strips.
Then take the Pierce City re-
gion and Florence and Elk City,
and figure out how these things
run on a smaller scale and then
take the smaller localities in
Montana where mineral has been
found in paying quantities and
by running your scale closer and
closer you will gradually come to
where the vast region from the
Bitter Root river on the east to
the prairies jutting up into the
river system on the west, and
from the great mineral regions
east of Spokane in the same re-
gion of mountains to the regions
west and northwest of Boise,
and in this great region no mines
of much consequence have been
found, and where this old pros
pector declared the greatest
mining excitement would pre-
vail in the future.
This is the hardest region to
prospect yet remaining in Amer
ica. 1t has hardly been touched

story is true of old Isaac whose
grave is up yonder at Graves

and who it is said took out g

a fact that three men in Butte

gion each summer, take out ovel
