Mr.. John Russell, wife and daugh-
ter, arrived in the city on Monday
morning from New York city and
remained until Thursday as guest, of
Mr.. Richard Staley of the Ontario
Hummingbird Mining company. Mr..
Russell is an old time chum of "Our

been of the most pleasant character.
The ladies were very much pleased

joyed greatly life in miners cabin.
Moonan and Oxley have received re-
turns from their last shipment that
makes them feel good although every
shipment has been fine. They have a
lease on the Shafter and this last
shipment was made in two grades.
The first grade was a large wagon
load and gave returns of SAG ounces
in gold, 20 ounces in silver and six
percent copper. The value per ton
was approximately Sl25.OO. The sec
ond grade consisted of a carload and
gave returns of 2.s2 ounces of gold
per ton, ten ounces of silver and three
per cent copper or a net return OF
about $780, per ton. Every body is
pleased to see them making good
and what is yet good news il
the fact that they have plenty of this
kind Of ore to be takan out.

the time they are seven until
they are 20, they have gone
through the public schools, the
high school, the college and the
university without any thought
of applying their ability and
talents in any of the great de-
partments of life. When they
come out, they are only hewers
of wood and carriers of water to
their more active brothers. A
man who has lived up to his
twentieth year without knowing
anything of commercial pursuits,
or without having been taught
any handicraft is simply fitted to
impart to others the useless lum-
Der with which his head is stored,
and oftentimes, he is unable to
do that. No wonder, therefore,
that the bread line in the Bowery
is crowded with this class of in
efficients. The professions are
full of them. Every avenue
that processes to offer them a
bare living is crowded with them.
They fill the ranks of solicitors,
collectors, book agents, life in
surance agents and the like. In
fact, they effect those places
where men are employed, chiefly
from their address, without much
regard to their ability. 1t all
comes about from a false idea of
what constitutes education, and
from the notion that the mere
perusal of books and the learn
ing of a few facts is all that is
required. This is an age of
specialization, and a man to make
his mark must fit himself for
some particular corner in the
universe, or otherwise, he simply
wastes his time.

The Law.

The way in which our courts
are constituted is we'll set forth
by Golfers of this weeks issue.
1t calls attention to the fact that
Milo A. Root was a justice of the
supreme court of Washington.
In that capacity he filed an opin-
ion in a case in which the plant
if was private citizen and the
defendent was the Great North
ern railway. The opinion which
Judge Root filed was written for
him by M. j. Gordon, Spokane
attorney for the Great Northern
railway. Before being filed it
was submitted to and approved
by w. R. Begg, chief counsel for
the railway at st. Paul. This
episode, giving new light on
the range of corporate corruption
has aroused the state of Wash
ington; beyond the boundaries of
the state it has led the public to
look with new care at the rela-
tons between corporations and
courts. Both these effects are
wholesome. But to guard against
the possibility of a very cruel
kind of injustice, it should be
borne in mind that a supreme
court is no more a single unit
than legislature is. No more
in one case than in the other does
proved corruption of one member
reflect upon the others. Judge
Roots act was individual; his as
sociates on the supreme court
bench of Washington had moth.
ing to do with it, and it may be
safely presumed that they re-
ceived the shock of discovering
judicial iniquity in their associate
with surprise and Indignation
even greater than the public's.
