VANITY OF THE GREAT.

A Woman's Indictment of Masculine
Celebrities.
vanity" said the husband as his
wife tried on her new outfit before
the cheval glass, vanity, the curse
of little minds"
But the lady, who was literary,
ran for her notebook.
"Vanity is the sign of a little
mind, is it?" she cried. 'sWell, listen
to this. This is from Gibbons di-
ary."
And she read:
"1 am the greatest historian that
ever lived. No one can equal me in
this direction
"Or this" she went on, "from a
letter that John Ruskin wrote to
Alexander Mitchell:
What in the DEVILS name have
you to do with either Mr.. Gladstone
or Mr.. Disraeli? You are students
at the university and have no moro
business with politics than you have
with rat catching. Had you ever
read ten words of mine with under
standing) you would have known
that l care no more for Mr.. Disraeli
or Mr.. Gladstone than for two old
bagpipes with the drones going by
steam, but that, with Carlyle, ]
stand, we two alone in England, for
God and the queen
"Or this, from Victor Hugo's ia
nous letter to Bismarck:
"'The giant greets the giant, the
foe the foe, the friend the friend.
| hate thee furiously, because thou
hast humbled France. I love thee
because l am greater than thou art.
Thou vert silent when the bell in
the tower of my fame struck my
eightieth year. I speak when the
stolen clock on my writing table un-
willingly announces to thee that
thou hast entered the seventies. l
am eighty. Nay, am eight and
thou art seven, and mankind is the
cipher behind each of us. We're we
allied as one man history would
cease. Thou art the body, / am the
soul; thou art the cloud, I am the
lightning; thou art the might, l am
the fame. Who is greater, victor or
vanquished? Neither. The poet
greater than either, for he cele-
brates BOTH"
Closing her notebook, the lady
returned to the mirror.
"Don't talk to me about vanity
after that" she said. Cincinnati

Phoebe Mohawk
Operations,
Double Compartment Shaft
Being Sunk---POrphry
Dyke Encountered.

The Pioche Mohawk Company
which is operating east of town
are developing a very fine prop
erty. The ground owned by the
company is embraced in what
was formerly known as the Knob
Hill group owned by H. c. Har-
mond and which has given much
promise from the time of its
discovery. The porphry dyke
has been encountered and a vein
of ore uncovered which carries
good values in silver and lead.
A force of men is now employed
in sinking a double compartment
shaft and after some additional
depth is obtained extensive cross
cutting and prospecting along
the dyke will be indulged in.
H. w. Rand of Portland is one
of the principal owners of the
property and B. S. Num- Of
Phoebe also has a substantial in
terest. These gentlemen are
enthusiastic over the prospects
and conditions seem to justify
this feeling in the fullest
measure.

considerable interest in the COM
pany in the form of stocks, made
a trrnsfer of some of said stock
"wednesday last, receiving the
sum of $1500.0 90 for part of his

Cannot Market
Their Ores.
Forced To Suspend Opera
tiOns By Smelters
Attitude.

The attitude Of the Shelters in
refusing to accept ores, is begin
ming to make itself felt in this
locality. Many of the most pro-
minent mines have for some
months last past confined, their
efforts to development alone.
This was done in order that the
mines would be in proper condi-
ton to furnish large tonnages
upon the completion of the rail-
road. We confidently expected
to see the mineral output in
crease by leaps and bounds with
It's completion to this point. And
there is every reason to believe
such would have been the case
had not the smelters taken their
recent uncalled for and arbitrary
action. We cite for instance the
temporary suspension of opera
tions at the Mendha mine. At
the time work ceased, every
man employed was working in
ore. And this, what is termed
shipping ore and will under any
primary circumstances bring for
the operators substantial profits.
While it is somewhat discour-
aging for the general public to
see these companies cease opera
tons, we understand that it
would not be consistent with
good business principals to con-
tinue under such adverse circum-
stances. The financial and bus
mess horizan seem at present to
be clearing and matters may
within a very short time assume
their normal condition. Let US
sincerely hope that such may be
the case, for under such condi-
tons we can entertain no doubt
as to the future of Phoebe.

ing It impossible to handle near
the tonnage which the mine il
capable of producing or that
could be handled by railroad.
Teams are at present employed
IN the transmission of the ore
from the old bins to the cars
which necessitates the shoveling
OF the ore from the wagons into
the cars. This process, as is un-

with same, is extremely slow but
is the only means of transporta-
