Mcclare's samner Reading

The summer numbers of McCmre's
Will contain an array OF entertaining
reading that Is particularly adapted to
the season. From an editorial announce
ment we find that there are TO be
several new features presented in early
mum bers. Among them the most note
worthy in promise, as shown by the
fret paper in the June number, are the
Ellen Terry Memories. !" This is no
formal autobiography. The portions
to be published from time to time deal
with separate events OF Miss Terry's
life. Into the fifty years which have
elapsed between her entrance on the
stage to the wonderful Jubilee celebra-
tion Of last year, that crowned Miss
Terry's fiftieth year on the stage, are
crowded some Of the most fascinating
memories; but it 10 the peculiar merit
Of Miss Terry's recollections that, more
than any description, they suggest her
own delightful personality, her vivaci-
~ ouu VIZ oAQuiotSC iOtnautuS quuiAey
which 10 inherent In every part she
acts.
There could be no more fascinating
reading than Walter Wellman's account
OF his preparation for voyage to the
Pole In flying machine TO be made in
July. Wellman's article is TO be printed
In June and July. 1t catches the imag
ination like dream OF the far distant
future. Just conceive it--a vast cigar
shaped balloon, nearly two hundred
feet long, whizzing through the air ;.
Suspended from it by threads that look
finer than spun silk, is long steel car.
Init, Is it hovers hundreds of feet above
the earth, you can see four tiny
fignres-the crew pushing this lever
and that, dropping the lead, taking
observations and emitting ballast, doing
the hundred things the complicated
machine requires.
THE Fight Of the Copper Kings,"
G. p. Connolly's amazing story OF Mon
tana. is TO reach its climax In July
with the narration OF the sensational
struggle Tor the Minnie Healy dine
In July, also, Carl Schurz' Rem
cences" reach their climax la the
High Tide OF the Rebellion" at Get
tysburg. The whole panorama OF Get
tysbnrg atretched before General
Schnrz' eyes, and no spectator OF the
battle Was better fitted than he to be-
come Ito historian. Georeine Milmine's
Life Of Mary Baker G. Eddy and His
tory OF Christian Science" also c0ntin-
nee, with new phases Of this remar kable
woman and her cnlt.
The fiction for the summer promises
70 be better least than McClures
have ever before given. There are to
b stories By three new writers, Mary
8. Watts, Will Adams, and Lucy
Pratt. There are. also, stories By auch
weli-knOwn writer's - Joseph Conrad.

The AnnaaI Encanpmsnt Of the 9. A. r
and W. =. G. at Haron
Those who attended the twenty
fourth Annual Encampment Of the g.
A. r. and w. r. C. at Huron, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of last week,
had the pleasure Of listening 70 several
good speakers. DR. G. Is. Clark, OF
Hot Springs, and Col. w. j. Patton,
president of the National University at
Mason City, Iowa, we're among the
number. They were disappointed,
however, in the expectation Of hear
Ing Governor Coe /. Crawford. Who
had promised TO be 10 attendance Ii IL
should prove possible for him 10 leave
his work at Pierre, which at
the last minute he could not
do. Col. w. J. Patton gave splendid
address vt the campfire in the Opera
House on Wednesday evening. He
also called on the ladies' OF the W. r.
G. while in session. His ready wit and
pithy remarks caused . ripple OF
mirth to pass over the convention.
His address was along the line OF pa
tri0tism. He believes 10 American
history for American children, not 10
the exclusion OF other histories in eur
public schools, but above all others.
The Little General' was there and
gave an exhibition drill. He also
headed the procession in the grand
street parade, riding white horse and
dressed in the regular cavalry uni
form. He u said 10 be the best drilled
boy In the United States and is becoming
quite prominent figure As encamp-
menus. He is about ten or twelve
years old and never forgeta his dig
nifty.
Huron gave hearty welcome to the
old soldiers and all visitors. All re-

THE SALMON INDUSTRY Capt. J. J. Doylel

A truly marvellous story is told in the table of statistics showing the pack of salmon on the Pacific coast in the past forty-one years. In 1866 the first salmon canneries were establish ed along the Columboia river, near Astoria. Such records as are in exist ance today show the pack to have been for that year approximately f, 1000 cas- es. Today the canneries on the Pa citc coast, located in the waters of Puget Sound and Alaska, have cap acity of upwards of 5000, GOO cases a year.
 The salmon industry furnishes en- ployment, during good part of the year, to a small army of men. Ten years ago the large majority of em- ployes in the canneries were Chinese : but their number has steadily decreas- ed, and in each succeeding year pack CTS have employed more white labor. Wages are equal to those paid in ordi- nary manufacturing concerns, and the result is that large proportion of the .reYenuo derived from the industry is Idistributed in wages.
 Undoubtedly the chief cause of the steady increase in the Pacific coast salmon pack is due to the artificial propagation of. salmon under state and governmental auspices. The record of the salmon pack convincing proof of the wisdom of the laws enacted by the legislatures of Oregon and Wash ington, appropriating annually large sum of money for the establishment and maintenance of fish hatcheries. These are located on small streams tributary tn Puget Sound and the Columbia river. In Alaska the license moneys collected from canneries is now used to form permanent appro- priation constituting the Alaska Fisheries Fund" to be used for the propagation of salmon. The laws also require that canneries shall maintain hatcheries, and for every large fish they catch shall substitute ten young ones.
 It has been proven beyond question

MINING MOVES
No Cause For Fear-DepressiOn Only Temporary. Current
 Mining News

l In Trouble-News to the effect that the NiblackCopper company is in finan- cal difficulties has been received here. It appears that aside from not meet ing it's October payroll for labor, the company has incurred other indebted ness which it is either unable or has failed to discharge, in consequence ot which one or more of its creditroS has levied an attachment or garnished the pay for the last cargo of 2500 tons ot ore dispatched from the mine to the shelter at Tacoma, and it is stated on good authority that the appointment of receiver is likely to be applied for. However, it can be said that the news was not entirely unexpected, though not due to any fault of the local management which seems to have been expected to accomplish much with nothing. The mine never look ed better, and had the holding com pany supplied its manager with the means with which to push the work )f development as required by the terms of their release, he would not now necessarily be met with any such embarrassment. It is the legitimate result of the penny-wise and pound- foolishness of the lessees, to call it by no harsher name.
 Reports from the west side mines continue of the most favorable charac- ter. Work is progressing as usual at the Jumbo, with steady daily pro- duction, but with the problem of how to get the product to the shelter again confronting the management. The price of copper has no deterrent effect upon the owners, nor would it have were the quotations to drop notch or two lower, since the values are suffici- ent to insure profit over all costs of production including transportation md smelling charges, even at lower prices for the red metal than are like y to obtain.
 Davy Nicol. who has force of men 1t W ork on his mining locations at Karta bay, heretofore known as the Sea Island group, has struck solid body of sulphide ore, of apparent high grade in copper and gold values. This property was sold once, and be- ing exploited for speculative purposes, and not as legitimate mining enter prise, reverted to the original owner, who is evincing his confidence in its value by going or with the work ot further exploration and development and that too. with most encouraging results.
 At the Lon-de- Van galena location, George inlet, work has been com menced in tunnel with a view to the practical development of the property over length of about 800 feet. It starts at point about 300 feet from 5idewater, and in the length stated will gut the formation at depth of about 575 feet. It is not yet certain wheth- 1T work will be pushed during the winter, as much, if not all depends upon the decision reached by the Chicago parties when they shall have time to consider the report made to chem by their mining engineer, who is now on the ground
