Drifting both ways IN the rich Hoyt
lars worth of ore with every shot, and
the work is progressing continuously.
Only sufficient time is allowed for the
smoke to clear from the labors OF one
shift before another resumes the task
of bringing into sight thousands of dol
lars worth of ore with every foot in the
stopping ground above.
At a depth of So feet the ledge is two
and a half feet wide with values still
away out of sight and the character of
ore improving by the appearance Of a
strongly ~mineralized and broken quartz.
At this depth the drifting was begun
and each foot forward means an add
tional SO feet of probably the most phe-
nomenal ore on the desert.
A mine is considered rich which will
furnish enough ore in the mere sinking
of a shaft to pay all expenses before
any stopping is done but in the case of
the Hoyt workings. the 35-ton dump of
high grade ore which has been taken in
the sinking of the shaft. would many
times over pay all expenses of mining
and equipment.
When one stops to consider that when
at ten feet depth the Hoyt brothers
said tina IL the ledge stayed with them
to 25 feet they would be satisfied, and
that IL it continued to so feet they
would feel rich, and also that at So feet
the ledge has better appearance and in

Why they are Suckers.

The origin of the nicknames of sev- cral of the states is clouded with doubt hut some of the explanations are in genicus, to say the least. Colonel Clark F.. Carr of Galesburg. Ill.. attempted to explain why the people of Illinois are called suckers" In a speech to the old settlers of Knox county. at Knox vile. he said: 'I have been asked to tell you why Illinois people are called suckers In the early settlement of H. linois there were no people living north of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad. But the lead mines had been discover ed up around Galena. The people in the south part of the state worked their farms in the summer and went up the river to the lead mines in the winter. They went up about the same time the sucker-fish went up. and peo- ple along the bank used to say: Here are the suckers coming and that is how we got our name"

Smuggling in Japan

Since the Japanese government took over the tobacco monopoly in that country, there has been a steady in crease in the smuggling of cigars and tobacco. A correspondent for the Tel egraph. London. says that this snug gling traffic has been mostly carried on through fishing boats along the coasts of TsuShima, lka, Northwestern kiushu and other places. A fisher man cannot smuggle more than ten or twenty cigars at a time, but the total amount of tobacco smuggled repre- sents a good deal. Cigarettes snug gled from foreign countries seem to be sent over to Korea and thence to Ja- pan. Some time ago smuggling of cigars on large scale was discovered. Three army officers of high rank, two nobles. and a journalist were involved, and the total value of the tobacco was estimated at over $3O,OOO. Much snug gling is done with the assistance of the government officials, and many ingen- ious devices are resorted to. The gov
 ernment is now. however, engaged in checking the practice, and the author ities of all departments are being un- tied in a joint effort toward that end.

AN ASSURANCE OF PEACE FROM JAPANESE SOURCE
Minister Hayashi Says That the Rela- tions of His Country With America Are Most Cordial.

Tokio, Nov. Tn an interview given to the Associated Press Minister of Foreign Affairs Hayashi, speaking for the cabinet and the public, said the relations of Japan and America are in all respects as cordial as ever. Com munity of interests and the cause of civilization demand lasting peace and friendship. He admitted that immigra- tion is the most serious matter upper most in the public mind but he was positive that it would be settled with out friction. That is already practi- cally decided. The Japanese govern ment proposes to control immigration in such a manner as to benefit Japan and conform to the wishes of America and is taking the most active steps in that direction. According to reports it appears that certain of the press has been representing an ultimate conflict inevitable and in order to subserve its purpose, trifling events have been mag nified into matters portending grace consequences. The repeated publication abroad of intimations of strained rela- tions is deplorable chiefly on account of their baneful effect on commerce.

HURTING THE RACE.

1t IS to be regretted that the en-
tire colored race must be blamed
for the conduct OF few unruly
ipstarts.boys and girls.and in many
instances a few Of the denizens of
the alleys In large degree the
pulpit ought to be more active and
see i there are any in It's Congrega-
ton or in the vicinity in which the
church is situated that could be
reached by admonishing these indi-
yiduals to be more careful as to
their department when they board
a street car. Last Sunday morning
about five young colored men board
ed an Eleventh Street car under the
influence of liquor, Just where they
secured the liquor so early, it being
about nine o'clock, and just how
5hey became intoxicated so soon, is
a mystery They were noisy and
% a great extent profane. These
re the conditions that injure the
better element of the colored Amer
leans. If the pulpit would do its
duty in this particular instead of
seeking graft and impoverishing the
congregation by collecting large
sums OF money to go abroad, the
condition of the colored people
would be improved. After many
of these ministers go abroad. what
benefit is it to Them They go and
return and sit down and wait until
the next year, then many Of them
suggest other schemes to get money
from their congregations. 1t is
hoped that a more charitable OBJ
servation will be taken BY those who
have power to give and take away
All the colored people are not alike.
The better element of colored peo-
pie are not responsible for the acts
OF those who don't seem to improve
their condition. These conditions
are hurting the race.

The Bee would suggest to the col

he has no more show Of being nom

has Of being appointed to the Unit

WHY PATRONIZE THEM?

a correspondent few weeks ago
called to the attention OF the read
ers OF The Bee the wholesale dis
elimination of colored citizens in
the several places of amusement in
this city The colored people know
that that they are not wanted in
them and why do they patronize
them? Why will they continue to
be humiliated' Certainly if these
places OF amusement don't want
them, it seems to The Bee that
these people degrade themselves bv
patronizing institutions that don't
eater to cOlOred patronage. The
Washington Times some few
months ago publicly stated that it
did not cater for colored patrons.
but 1t seems to The Bee that more
coIored people purchase the Times
than ever. 1t can be Justly said.
whenever you see a colored persc n
with Times. you may conclude
that he IS q fit subject for St. Eliz-
abeth. No colored person with a
grain Of sense will purchase the
Times after such a declaration.
There Is something wrong with
some colored people. They should
not go where they are not wanted
They should not purchase a paper
that has declared that it doesn't
cater for their patronage. If they
must read daily paper there are
several in this city that are friendly
to them and will undoubtedly give
them square deal, namely, the
Star Post, and Herald.
Hereafter if a colored citizen is
seen with a Times in his hands, put
t down that he is a good subject
