MINES AND MINING.

Palouse-Samples of the ore struck
In the vicinity of the Mizpah mine in
dictate that the strike is the most inn
portant ever made in the famous Hoo
doc district.
Word was received from the fore
man of the Lucky Friday mine at Null
Ian, Idaho, that 20 inches of ore had
been uncovered in the face of the low
err tunnel being driven on the prop
erty,' said George d. Porter, the SUI
perintendent of the mine.
R. NJ. McEntire, vice president and
manager of the Silver Crown Mining
company, reports that development
work at the Silver Crown is progress
ing with entire satisfaction and that
ore will be shipped within a month at
the present rate of work.

the negotiations for consolidating the
three great Kendall properties-the
Kendall. the Barnes-King, and the
North Moccasin-are practically con-
summated. Senator Rae, manager of
the Drake interests, states that he
knew the deal was pending in New
York City and is not surprised at the
report. but has not been officially in
formed of it.
Having been promised ample police
protection. the American Smelling and
! Refining company has decided to re-
oren its plant at Murray, Utah. At a
meeting with the smelling men the
mayor of Murray and the county of
| fcials agreed to furnish rs special of
fcers and to guarantee the safety of
all who apply for work. 1t is believed
that a majority of the 1900 men who
quit the plant will apply for their old
positions and that no serious trouble
will occur. An advance of approx
mately 10 per cent in wages will be
made by the company, this being the
raise which was offered to and re
jected by the men before the strike

equal the weight of n copper penny.
Another explanation Is that tenpenny
nails originally sold for tenpence a
hundred. sixpenny nails for slXpence
a hundred, and so on. the smaller nails
selling for the lower price. Still an.
other explanation is that 1000 nails of
the teupenny size used to weigh ten
pounds, 1000 of the siXpenny size, six
pounds, and so on. OF the ordinary six.
penny nails, there are eighty to the
pound; of the eightpenny there are IF.

WILL USE THE BOYCOTT.
San Francisco Unions Fight Streetcar
Company.


San Francisco, May 14.-There is
very little change in the strike situa-
ton in this city. Despite the fact that
80 cars were operated today on two
lines of the United railroads without
disturbance or molestatiOn. and $1,000
people, according to the figures of the
company, availed themselves of this
partial service. President Calhoun to-
night was apparently far from Opti-
mistic over the situation. He frankly
admitted that the carmen had them
guessing" as to their next move and
expressed himself as puzzled by the
apparent peace and reports received
by him which indicated serious trouble
later. The sudden change from the
/ fierce rioting the first part Of the week
created the IDEA that some unexpected
movement was being contemplated.
That the United railroads is still far
short Of the required number Of men
/ to operate its system is evident from
the fact that the company is adyertis-
ing in 70 different cities for conductors
and mOtormen. It is understood that
there are now between 500 and 600
strikebrakers in the city, and 200
more are expected to arrive in a day
or two.
Unquestionably the firm stand taken
by Governor Gillett when he an
nounced through the Associated Press
that he would judge the San Francis
co situation by the acts of the pep
pie and would not hesitate a moment
to call out the militia if rioting should
be continued had a SOLDERING effect on

your box of water colors and a soft
lead pencil. Then set to work.
The architectural designs should be
first drawn on scrap paper, then follow
ing them on the pasteboard box sides,
cutting out carefully and putting to-
gether with thin paper and paste. All
doors and windows must be cut and
completed before joining the four sides
OF a building. The roof goes on last.

A FireDrOOf Tree.

There is a tree in Colombia, South
America, that the hottest fire cannot
burn. 1t is called the rhopala. The
people In the district of Bolima are in
the habit Of setting fire to the plains
during the dry season, every year, for
the purpose Of destroying the dry
weeds that might interfere with the
growth OF vegetation when the rains
come. Everything goes down before
these great fires, old and young trees,
as we'll as weeds, everything except this
rhopala tree, which always survives. 1t
is an ugly plant, small and scraggy,
with a Wild and degolate appearance,
but 1t Is a verltabie salamander In the
vegetable world. It's ability to resist
fire consists In the structure of its
bark, the outer part of which, to the
depth Of half an inch, Is formed OF dead
cells and fibres. This makes an incom-

WHEAT

THE PRICE UPWARD AT
CHICAGO.

chicago. May 12.-The lid Is loose
on the Chicago wheat pit. A shouting.
|. ooroeming mob of spectators lifted
:. high during the short Saturday ses-
ton replacing it lightly, ready for an
other boost Monday.
THAT it will be boosted high as a
,ite is the common prediction, and
wheat at 1925 is promised soon.
The bull crowd stampeded the pit
and tbe buying element was in control
nocember wheat closed with a rush at
OK cents. a gain of cents for the day
and cents during the week, while
Inv closed at 81 "a cents, a gain of
"A cents for the week. There were
high figures for the year Bears who
Ind not needed the Ominous warnings
of the early days of the week fran
tically endeavOred to get from under
adding to the excitement.
Spectators went into the pit and
fought shoulder to shoulder with their
clerks in an effort to fill the rush of
orders to buy" which poured in from
all over the country.
Excitement such as has not been
seen on the board since the "back
rush" scare of 1904 existed. The fran
tic efforts made by the bears to get
from under the advance were met by
a demand which came from all parts
of the country and swept everything
before it. The high mark for the July
option was 81 ga cents, for September,
90 "a cents and for December, 95 IL
cents.
The cause of the upturn which has
taken place in the last few days is the
widespread belief that this years
crop of winter wheat will show big
decrease as compared with that of
1906. Cold weather in the west and
northwest, freezing temperatures in
the Canadian northwest and damage
said to have been done in the south
west by the green bug aided the rush
upward.
1t was reported here today from
Winnipeg that not more than Is per
cent of the estimated acreage had
thus far been seeded in the province
of Manitoba.
The local traders were of the opin-
ion that wheat has been advancing too
rapidly during the last few days and
that a reaction was due SO many or
ders poured in from the country, how
ever, that it was certain that the ex-
pected setback would not come until
later in the day Once trading was in
full swing the orders from the coun-
try came so fast and in such number
that the local crowd was carried be
fore it.
The flood of buying orders con
tinued, and when the market closed
the prices were close to the high mark
Of the day and the movement seemed
to have lost no force.

A BABY SHOW.


Over the green lawns of the Boston

waving their plumy tails In the triumph
Of their undisputed rights. For these
creatures, with their quick movements
and sauCy chatter. enjoy welcome free
dom of the ground and they store their
harvest without thought of tax or dis
possession. That they have their cares
and forethought Is evident by their
careful attention to business and accu-
mutation of wealth. That there is also
matronly pleasure and pride of family
in these tree households is shown by
the experience of a lady who lives in a
suburban town.
The lady had made a pet Of one OF
the fine gray squirrels which dWelt on
her premises. She would sit on her
piazza and feed the pretty creature
from her hand. The squirrel soon be-
came quite fearless and would stay
about its friend, and even curl up in
her lap, but was always alert to dart
off at the approach of another person.
One day the lady was sitting on her
yeranda when she noticed her pet max
ing its way across the grass, followed
BY three fat and fluffy balls of gray
fur.
Up to the piazza came the big SOUR
rel, taking the steps with graceful
Leaps. In vain the babies tried to sur
mount the troublesome obstacles. Their
legs were too short and their strength
too small, and every time they tried to
jump up a step, back they fell in fu-
tile little heaps. In vain the mother
urged; the Hill Of Difficulty was too
steep.
The eager watcher appreciated the
situation. The proud parent had
brought her little ones to show her

The lady wrote m account Of the cir
cumstance to a famous naturalist who
