Superstition. whether you believe in 1t or not, will be rampant tonight. It may be the superstition Of looking into a mirror by the light of a tallow can dle shining over your left shoulder, te see the countenance of your future husband or wife, or it may be the su- perstition of ringing somebody's door bell, and then hiding behind the shrub bery in the yard while he answers it- the particular kind of superstition is largely a matter of age-but 1t is certainty that superstition. in some form or other, will be your ruling pas sion tonight.
 For this is the night before All Saints Day, when all the goblins of the land and sea were. in the olden time, supposed to come forth and hold high carnival. In these latcr days, the goblins very generally remain at home and abed, but the younger people. boys and girls and grown up boys and girls. go forth and take the place of the old time gobline, much to the despair or the eace-loving policeman, and the house. holder who appreciates rising every morning in the year. without the excep- tion of even the morning after Hal lowe'en and finds his gate still swing ing on it's hinges. and the family wheelbarrow still in its accustomed place.
 HdilOWe en IS mysterious OccdSioH Its origin is Shrouded in the mystery of the dim past, long before the time when the memory of man runneth not Co the contrary" The observance seems to have sprung up almost simul- taneously in half dozen different countries of the long ago. All over Europe. in the early ages, the ghosts and goblins. the spirits and the fairies, were supposed to have appeared before men on All Hallows Eve. as it was formerly known, and warned them Of impending danger or foretold. events of great joy that were to come to pass.

COLLINS WILL STALK TONIGHT FOR HALLOWEEN IS AT HAND

In Scotland especially was this early spirit of superstition, which still ob- tains there perhaps more than in any other land of modern times. well de- veloped. The witches and sprttes which many centuries later came to he recognized as existing. even In Christian lands, were early given clammy sort of fearsome reverence, as the masters of the Jochs and mountain glens.
 In the Highlands was found the May MOullach,' young girl with haily arms, who warned families of inpend- ing misfortune. The Brownies were little people who entered houses during the absence of their occupants and took charge of the domestic arrangements. The "MalicuT" was evidently a sordid ghost, for 1t was got rid Of only by money. The 'Urisk" freQuented the gorges of Loch Katrinc. The "Bodach Glas," a gigantic shape that appeared to warn mortals of misfortune. usually came to the Scottish chieftain on the night before battle in which he was to be defeated. Shakespeare made use of the superstition of the Scotch and their desire to peer into the future when he created the weird sisters whose, predictions sent Macbeth to his undoing. Fortune tellers, trance me- diums and prophets had their counter part iA the seer of the Highlands, who by second sight" predicted death or the result~of impending battle. Germany and Ireland were two oth- CT countries. which, to a large extent, were ruled, for the night at least, by the fantastic ideas of the spirits of other worlds coming to hold converse with men. But to greater or less ex- tent the same is true of all European countries, the modern Halloween be- ing a legitimate bequcst of the an- cient nations to their modern descen- dants.

In discussing this matter Bishop

 This inqidcnt will not lessen the cordiality of the relations that now eX- ist between the two governments. It is true that there has of late been ;l reign of hoodlumism in San Francisco and Japanese there have bCcn shame fully ill-treatcd in many instances. l was there for q week in August at the time It was really unSat" for Japanese to venture in the streets at night. .
 "Tn spite of these thugs however, the Japlnesc are fully aware that they proceed from local conditions and do not indicate T national nrciudic" on their part. Tie Japanese people are sincere lv deSirous of making good relations with the Americans. They have the greatest respect for President R0oSo- welt. too and they arc satisfied that under his direction tn" American voN- ernmeut will do what is right What eyer he says or does is widely conn mcntcd on in Japan, and th" people thcrc have confidence that what h, may do will he right.

MIR. Hill. Manager of Stormy Hill
Mining Co. is Here.


G, w. Hill, manager and organizer of
the Stormy Hill Mining Company. ar
rived here yesterday from the East,
prepared to begin the improvement
and development of the group Of we'll
known claims the company now holds
on War Eagle. The second payment
upon the property, due today, was for
warded to the bank here several days
since, and everything now looks pro-
pitious for active work upon the COM
pany's property, consisting of group
of claims including the well known War
Eagle Stormy Hill, and Ell Madhi mines
and two other promising claims located
or purchased by the company. A new
hoist viii be placed over the shaft on
the Stormy Hill as soon as practicable
and that claim and that claim and the
War Eagle adjoining it on the North
will be worked through drifts from that
shaft. The War Eagle has a record of
producing upwards OF 100000 in early
days, when nothing less than $50 ore
would pay to mine and work. The
dump on it contains very large amount
of lower grade ore, which under modern
methods of working is now very valu-
able asset. The Stormy Hill has shaft
on it and drifts in 300 feet south follow
ing a rich stringer worked that distance,
with both sides of the shaft and drift in
lower grade ore, that which was taken
out in sinking the shaft and left on the
dump, making pile of ore with scarce
ly any granite or waste on it, amount
ing, by measurements and estimates
made, to upwards of 10000 tons. Care
ful sampling and assaying of this dump,
and mill run of several tons, made at
the Cumberland, last year, places the
value of the entire dump at more than
six dollars per ton, which can be worked
alta cost of less than two dollars. The
Ell Madhi is claim located east of the
War Eagle on very rich stringer
branching off from the Empire mine.
One of the other claims owned by the
company lies south OF the El Madhi and
east OF the Stormy Hill. Another is a
southern continuation OF the Stormy
Hill covering the ground between that
and the Afterthought mine, the proper
ty of the DeLamar company.
