Anderson mas also accomplished
great amount of work for the Big
Greek Mining Co., near the Presley
1group. Several cars of good ore
were shipped from the property
from an upper tunnel while lower
tunnel is being driven to tap the
ledge with depth. Mr.. Anderson
and associates also own a valuable
water right along this part of the
creek.
Gullixson brothers, little far
ther up the creek, are working
along as fast as their means will
permit with a long crosscut tunnel
and have some good looking ore at
the present time. The Western
Star Co., near the mouth Of the
west fork OF Big creek, expects to
commence work very soon and con-
tinue the tunnel, now in about
100 feet, on toward the ledge.
Contracts were let recently for an
other 100 feet in the Blue Bell pro-
perty adjoining the Western Star
and work has commenced. This
tunnel is also being driven from the
creek to attain great depth. Fur
ther up the creek the Liston Co., is
making history for the district and
doing some of the best mining work
seen in any prospect in this part Of
the country. Going into the dis
trict a little over a year ago when
the only means of egress from their
property was by rough trail, this
company. managed by Matt. Baum
gartner, at once continued the wagon
road from the mouth OF the creek
up to its property, distance Of
about six miles, and today travel
up the creek for nearly ten miles
can be made by wagon while good
trails go for many more. The
Liston Co., installed a compressor
and selecting convenient site for a
crosscut tunnel to get in under
splendid outcroppings began opera
tions and continued without stop
until last week the tunnel was re-
ported to be in about 75O feet and
with excellent showings Of galena
ore. The company expects to drive
its tunnel some 1900 feet before
striking the ledge and this early
showing Of ore has brought promi-
nence to the property that will add
to its future work, and mining
men are looking for big mine
within a short time on the Liston
claims. The company has sur
veved its claims and applied for
q United States patent. Every
move has been marked with
thoroughness and capability, and
complete confdenre is placed in the
men behind the operations.
South Of the Liston group is the
Samson NJ. 4 D. Co.'S. ground.
Here 500 feet Of tunnel work has
been completed and some high
grade samples Of silver-lead and
copper ore taken from the foot wall
Of the ledge. The company owns
eight claims in the group and is
working on one Of the largest ledges
ever struck in the district. The

THE BIG CREEK DISTRICT
Promising Reports From One of the Old.
est Known Sections of District

The continued activity and pro.
missing reports from the Big creek
district, a short distance east ol
Wardner and on the dividing line
Of the Yreka and Evolution mining
districts, has called attention tc
that part Of the Occur d'Alenes as
never before. The manner of the
work and the amount Of develop,
n1ent in progress adds to the popu.
larity Of that region and shows the
faith Of the companies now operat-
ing along the creek, says the News.
Twenty-three or more years ago,
Big creek attracted the attention OF
mining men and by reason of the
iron cappings and fine outcroppings
aiong the lower part Of the creek, j,
prospectors came over to the south
side from the gold fields of the
Murray district and began looking
for what was then considered un-
important mineral. Practically
speaking, the Big creek ledges gave
to the world at that time the Bunk
er Hill and Sullivan, the Last
Chance and other Of the big mines
OF the district. While looking for
these ledges and outcrops Kellogg
and O'Rourke first came into the
Milo creek gulch with the Bunker
Hill discovery resulting. Eyes
were then turned to the Milo creek
district end Big creek allowed to
remain an undeveloped region for
many years, save for the workings
Of the few prospectors who toiled
away in their tunnels as best they
could.
Now the great amount OF work
going on and the new locations be-
ing recorded have turned the atten-
ton Of capital that way and great
things are to be expected from so
promising district when the neces-
sary amount Of development work
ID accomplished.
The first to ship ore on paying
basis from the Big creek were the
Blake brothers, operating in a
small way the Yankee Boy group
Of claims. Their ore shoot was
small but very rich. some Of the
ore running 400 ounces in silver to
high per centages in lead. Their
mine has made them independent
" rich and has much ore yet to be
mined. Across the g,Ach from this
property, John Presley is manag-
ing big piece Of work for the
North American Mining Co. A
working tunnel, complete with cleo
trio motors and other appliances,
has been driven on a crosscut for
1000 feet. The management ex-
poets to tap the ledge at 1900 feet
Of tunnel when great depth will be
had and mining men who have
visited the ground state that a big
mine is sure to result. The Wash
ing Water Power Co., strung wires
from the main lines up to this pro-
perty and electricity is being used
ia all the workings Of the property.
Thousands Of dollars are being ex-
pended in a judicious way on this
property and the work performed
is ofspermanent nature. = G. Scott

The ArIstocracx of America.

J. T. Lincoln, in the August Atlantic.
 This aristocracy, founded on money though 1t be, early learned that money is but a means, that culture is the end, and 1t soon came about that man must be a pretty insignificant sort of a mill lionaire, who by his benefactions was unable to found a university, or at least have a professorship named for him, even if he himself were unable to write En- glish grammatically-and the children of these millionaires benefited by their fa- ther's asperatons. We may not say by what marvellous means the transforma- ton was effected, but certain 1t is that the Newport of today is very different from the Newport of a generation ago. Croesus does not build his house just like his neighbors, only a little bigger, but commands the services of the. ablest ar chtects who have transformed Newport from a city of commonplace cottages to one of rare architectural distinction. If Croesus lacks the taste to furnish his house becomingly, he has the sense to hire a decorator to do it for him-al- though in larger measure than we real ize, this is unnecessary-for Croesus has, in these later days, abandoned fast horses and f1eshy waistcoats, and has learned to buy pictures and books for himself-and he enjoys them, too, which
 Is even a greater matter He does not always spend his money WlSely-tnat Were asking too much in a single generation; he still makes too great a show of his money, leading humble folk to imagine that there is some magic pleasure in the mere possession of vast wealth. He will overdo things occasionally-or at least Mrs. Croesus will as when once she built temporary ball room next to her stately summer home, at a cost-so the newspapers said-of some forty thousand dollars and tore it down after a single evenings entertainment. Mrs Croesus will spend vast sums of money to no ra- tional purpose and to give the socialists a deal to talk about besides creating the impression that her husbands wealth was not inherited; but on the whole she has made tremendous progress since she was a schoolgirl

 How far does she go?" you ask. And some one tells you again idly that the weavers of homespun sometimes live as far as 40 miles in the noun tains, that it is one of the Biltmore in dustries, that the native women are encouraged to use their old looms and that there Is in consequence a market for homespun which Is made by the mountain women.
 Forty miles," you repeat, tn mixing of the OK cart. the sunbonnet, and you picture the mountain cabin, the old fashioned loom, and the weaver. l should like to see her in her humble home, industrously at work with her loom. I should like to go with her early these mornings when the mi5t hangs over the hills, and gather the dyes. It would be another world, l herbs that will make her homespur know, but it would take you away from Rameses and Italian gardens ana loquacious folk who cannot understand why in one mood you want to finger in a garden at twilight, and in another to follow in the wake of a little car' drawn by oxen and driven by bent little woman wearing a sunbonnet, and eager to get back to her loom.

Business Thrown Away.

From LeSlie'S Weekly.
 Because the labor unions won't let a skilled workman teach his trade to his own son is the reason the United States lost the s5O,0O00OO contract for ships for the Brazilian navy. We have the best steel and iron in the world right here. We have the timber which England must import, but because the labor unions have put their restriction on the number of apprentices, skilled labor has become so scarce in the United States that it costs 40 per cent more to build ship in Amer ica than it does in Great Britain or Ger many. One apprentice to every four skilled workmen is what the labor unions are pleased to allow in the shipbuilding trades. In some trades they do not allow any apprentices unless the latter pay large sums to the trade unions. It is sur prising that the ranks of American work men have become depleted? To this per- nicious practice of limiting and restrict ing apprenticeship I attribute the loss of this great contract. During this period of financial depression, a $50,000,00O contract would have been great boon to the American mechanics.

Thirteen on Coins.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 According to an observing coin collec- tor, superstitious persons who believe in the thirteen hoodoo should have noth- ing to do with a quarter dollar, for the unlucky 13 is much in evidence on the coins of that denomination. He had not ed that on the face of the coin there are 13 stars, and If it happens to bear the date 1903 those figures total 13. On the reverse side there are 13 stars about the eagle, 13 letters in thei words -E Plu- ribus Unum.' which appear on the scroll held in the eagles beak; 1S horizontal bars on the shield, 13 arrowheads held in one claw, while the branch held in the other claw has just 13 leaves, and the let ters of the name, Quarter dollar at the bottom count up 13 Some future President, says the Philadelphia Record, may take it upon himself to alter the de- sign of the coin, but this is not at all likely, for there is good reason for the design embodying 13 articles so frequent ly, inasmuch as the states which orig inally composed the Union were IS in number.
