MONTE CARLO
Of The Orient

NEW YORK. Oct. ga New
Yorker who has just returned from
the orient brings news of Major Put
nam Bradlee Strong, son of ex-Mayor
Strong. Young Strong, after roam
ing about China following his last
separation from May Yohe (Lady
Hope), has settled in the Portuguese
city of Macao. forty miles from Hong
kong.
Macao is the Monte Carlo of the
orient, and the town is practically
supported by revenue from fan tan
and other forms of licensed gambling
The sporting population of Hong
kong makes daily pilgrimages to
Macao to try their luck. Strong has
bought an interest in one of these
games, and is said to be prospering.
The New Yorker, who saw him
there five weeks ago, said the major
had no intention of returning to New
York. He evinced little interest in
New York affairs, but asked his visi-
tor to find out where May Yohe is
and let him know. He said he had
heard she contemplates matrimony
again.

your friends did most of the buying.
They had your word for 1t that it
was a good thing. Say. Charlie, tell
me about the Greenwater deal That
was pretty clever scheme, don't you
think? And how about that Mont
gomery Shoshone affair? That sold
pretty well. Say, Charlie, don't be-
lieve that you have any reason to be
sore on Nevada, as you put it, and
If your friends are getting sore at
you, why, that is not the fault of the
good people of Nevada, who indulge
in legitimate mining and condemn
an Eastern wild-catter. Now, Charlie,
be good honest boy and tell us the
truth: Has not Nevada treated you
pretty well?"
Mr.. Schwab crawfished in San
Francisco when called upon to ex-
plain his statements in regard to the
mines and people of Nevada, and he
did more than crawfish last night. 1t
is stated that he cringed and that he
would have crawled if necessary to
enter the inviting portals of that pri-
vate car.-Reno Gazette.

Mining, DECISION
Of IMPORTANCE
(Associated Press. J

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct 22.-Col-
onel E. A. Wall is the real plaintiff
in the case of Lawson VS.. the United
States Mining Company, which was
decided by the United States Supreme
Court today. Colonel Wall holds a
lease and bond on the Kempton and
Ashton lode claims at Bingham which
contain between two and three mill
lion dollars worth of lead ore.
The Wall claims were located on
lead filled assure veins which cut the
lime strata almost at right angles.
The United States Mining Company,
which has the apex of the lime form

the true lode, and the assures an in

This contention is upheld by today's
decision.

The new sawmill which Stoddard
Brothers have been erecting in Bake,

tally given to the Herald today that
the large mill will begin operation
in week or 10 days, a little more
time being needed to add the finish

producing plant, says the Baker City
Herald.
This is the best news heard for
several weeks, for it means a great
deal to Baker and community. When
the Stoddard mill starts 1t will make
an all winter run. The yard is full
of logs and there is also a large sup
ply in waiting in the timber which
the company owns, making it possible
for a continued run through the win
ter months.

MONEY. BUT CAN'T SPEND 1T
Spokane Man Has $1,000 Bill, But
Can't Buy Anything With II.

Like the hero in Mark Twain's tale
OF the S1,OOO,OOO bank note, who
wandered about in a vain endeavor
to get the large sum changed, a dis
comfited patron of one of the Spo-
kane banks is vainly trying to
break" a $1,000 bill, which he re-
celved from the teller of the bank
one day last week, says the Spokes-
man Review.
He had demanded his money and
threatened trouble and when the
bill was presented to him he rejoic-
ed in the knowledge that he was get
ting real money for his deposits. An
attempt was made to induce him to
take clearing house checks, but he
wanted mo wooden money In his,
he said, and held out for Uncle Sans
legal tender.
1t was legal tender and looked good
to the recipient until he tried to use
1t. Several stores were tried He
could not purchase postage stamps
nor tooth brushes with his good
money. No firm in town was prepar-
ed to give out $999.75 in change, no
matter what 1t got in return. Per-
sonal appeal was tried in vain. His
best friends exhibited an inexplicable
reluctance to change the bill. 1t
was no more use than a CARLOAD of
Chinese money and worried its own
er about as much. Its purchasing
power was vastly less than the same
amount in clearing house certifi-
Gates.
What he will do with 1t Is a ques-
tion. The only place it can be chang
ed into bills of less denomination is
at the banks, which they are very
ready to do-into clearing house cer-
tificates.
Another citizen who had been
boarding his gold with the hope that
he would obtain a premium for the
yellow metal has been much disap-
pointed by the refusals Of the banks
to accept the money and pay him a
premium.

RICHEST MINE
Of TURQUOISE
NEW MEXICO HAS
WORLDS FINEST DEPOSIT
The Azure Mine In the Burro Noun
tains OF New Mexico Yields an
Immense Store OF precious Stones
Most of the Commercial Tur-
quOisc of the Country Comes
From United States.

Bertha Crowell in December Sun
set gives the following description
of the worlds larges turquoise mine
which is located In the Burro noun
tains, N. NJ. Miss Crowell says:
The Azure turquoise mine in the
Burro mountains of New Mexico Is
the largest turquoise mine in the
world. SO little is known of the ac-
tual production of turquoise, and so
easily is the gem initiated, that the
public is more ignorant in regard
to the real value of turquoise than OF
that of any other gem
It is popularity supposed that the
most valuable turquoise comes from
Persia. This is an idea fostered,
perhaps, by the dealers who realize
the distinction the word foreign gen.
orally adds to an article of value,
and which makes possible a further
increase in price.
AS a matter Of fact, most of the
turquoise sold in the United States
Is VI IlOIlt IL 10 AOuhh
in California, Nevada, Alabama, Col
orado, Arizona and New Mexico, but
the finest grade is obtained from the
Azure mine.
The modern discovery of this mine
occurred in the late '70s. Previous
to that time, no doubt centuries ago,
the mine had been worked by the
Indians, or a prehistoric people. 1t
was by means Of the old dumps, and
certain stone and flint implements,
that the modern discovery was made
by an old prospector, Nicholas Ras-
come.
Mr.. Rascome picked up stone and
flint hammers lying imbedded in
chips Of the mother stone from which
turquoise is obtained. Many grades
of sandstone in small pieces readily
held in the hand testified to the
method Of polishing the stones after
the laborious effort of chipping the
turquoise out of the porphyry, and
a small, grooved, highly polished
piece, perfectly curved, would indi-
cate the means Of final perfection Of
the gems by hand.
In 1882 Mr.. Ranscome took a
partner into the enterprise, and the
mine was worked by them until
1890, when 1t was purchased for $4,-
600 by the New York company which
still owns and operates the mine, For

been caused by the late panic will
have passed away and the briskness
of commerce in this portion of the
state will be normal once more. Re-
ports are coming in that the con-
struction of the Snake river railroad
will be taken up again shortly and a
large force of men put to work. The
Eagle Valley railroad continues its
work of grading, and everything
points to an active winter season.
