The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion has handed down decision which compels the Fred Harvey company to hereafter pay transportation charges on all supplies, and at the same time expresses the pass system. The decision will be serious blow to the company that may put it out of business. It is probable that the Santa Fe will put in an eating system of it's own, although this may be held by the Commission not necessary adjunct to the operation of railroad system.

George Bowmen and Sam Kee are crosscutting on their gold claim in Lost Gulch, adjoining Mrs. Fisk's claim. Their shaft has been sunk to 100 feet and they have cross cut eighty-five feet, bringing them into ore that averages l2S ton in gold. Assays of the ore have shown values as high as 1908 and 1908 in gold. The ledge will average two feet. Bowen and Kee have two claims there, one of which was located by J. H. Jewell, twenty-five years ago.-Silver Belt.

Monday Mining Claim Sold.

J. w. Marshall recently sold one- half interest in his Monday mining claim, at Chloride, to H. M. Holloway, of Thurman, Iowa. The Monday is an extention of the old Arastra mine, owned by Steve Smith, and which at one time was big producer of high grade ore. The vein is about four feet wide and outcrops for several hundred feet. Ore from the surface of the vein runs from three to six ounces gold, besides carrying values in silver and lead. It is the intention of the present owners to run drift on the vein and get back of at least POO feet in distance of 300 feet, and work is to begin at once. Mir. Marshall is a pusher and will soon have this mine in a high state of development before the fall months are gone by.

An effort is being made to get up a big territorial mineral exhibit for the meeting of the Irrigation Congress, which meets at Albuquerque. The proposition is good one and the min ing people should take it up seriously.

Earnest A. Haggott, of the Haggott, Smith X Grand company of mining engineers, came in from Los Angeles last Saturday night and departed the following day to Mineral Park, in company of $. A. Tyler. Mir Haggott made an examination of mining prop erty in the Mineral Park section and appeared to be quite we'll satisfied with the appearance of the property.
 General manager O. F. Kuencer was in from the Gem mine, at Cerbat, last Monday. He reports that the work of widening the big shaft from the 300 level to the surface complete. The shaft is now three compartment to the 400 level. Work of sinking below the 100 level is now in progress. It is expected that great bodies of ore will be encountered below the 400 level and that the mine will become one of the greatest gold producers in the county.
 Gene Brown reports that the recent heavy rains uncovered four foot vein of ore in one of the canyons near the old Carter gold mine, in Cottonwood district. Samples taken from the out crop show big values in gold and it is thought that the whole vein will pay to mill. There have been a mum Der of good gold finds in that section the past month and it is probable that it will soon branch out as one of the rich gold fields of the territory.

 The head waiter, Joseph, was quite a character, and though an East In dian was a Christian, and therefore not hindered by scruples of caste from contact with all sorts and condi- tions of men. The fact that he was at the Chicago exposition, with the Ceylon exhibit, was his grand coup d'etat with which he impressed Ameri- cans. It is rather an experience to have a picturesque Oriental in spot less white, a heavy gilt chain about his neck. and crowned with an i'm posing white and gold striped turban, speaking familiarly of Chicago and New York.
 A good many of the castes wear their distinguishing mark painted on the forehead, and one day at the table I pasted a soda water label on my forehead and said it was my caste mark. I quite convulsed Joseph, but fear the Cingalese waiter was rather shocked

NOT HIS FAULT.

Once there was a young girl with barrels of money.
 And not knowing what to do with 1t, she consulted a wise man. He lived all alone in tent he had built for the purpose, leading simple life.
 When the young girls case was pre- sented to him, he said: There are three things that you can do:
 First, you can be an old maid and devote yourself to charity.
 Second, marry the man of your heart.
 Third, marry a nobleman."
 So the young girl went away and pondered, and while she was ponder ing a nice young fellow came along. He was poor but handsome, with broad shoulders and so forth, and she fell in love with him and married him. But after they had been married a little while, he grew suddenly extrava- gant, and would probably have squan- dered all her money had he not been killed by dissipation.
 Then the young girl married a noble man. And after they had been liv- ing together for several years, he, as is the nature of all true noblemen, began to abuse her. At last, not be- ing able to stand it any longer, she secured permanent divorce.
 Then she went back to the wise man.
 'Oh, wise man." she said your ad- vice has been very disastrous. What have you to say for yourself?'
 Tt was your fault" said the wise man, because you didn't follow it."
 What do you mean? r."
 Then the wise man laughed heart fly. Don't you see," he replied, now that it is too late, that you be- gan on the wrong end first ?"-Judge

 Our coolies who pulled us to tho Galle Face hotel stopped at the gate saying they were not allowed to go inside, but We had heard of this tricl, and insisted upon being taken into the portico. Here, after making in. quiry of the door porter as to their proper fare, we paid them. only to be met With a storm of indignant pro- testatlons and refusals. Only when the money was thrown at their feet dld they pick it up and go on.
 This is quite the usual proceeding AAO hi"t'Sl "udI IS gwen them, even If they are overpaid many times.
 We found the Galle Face hotel a very handsome building. beautifully situated directly on the Indian ocean and surrounded by a grove of green and stately cocoanut palms.
 The sea, with it's lazy white rollers and smooth beach, looks ideal for bathing, but we were told that it was quite out of the question. for if any one who attempted it was not in a very short time cut to pieces on the sharp rocks just below the surface of the water he would be devoured by the sharks that inhabit it in great numbers.
 So the hotel has built for the amusement of it's guests a very large and comfortable swimming tank, filled with sea water, that is always fresh. The hotel has every convenience, cleo tric lights and fans, large airy rooms and an excellent table, when one con
