ROYAL Superstition.

Canterbury cathedral, like most
great catledrals, is decorated with. in
Vulnerable inches for statues. At
Canterbury series Of these inches is
occupied with statues Of kings and
queens Of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied- An old
tradition has 1t that when all the
inches are filed the throne Of England
will come to an end.
Queen, Victoria was approached with
a view to a statue of herself being
placed, in one Of the four remaining
inches, but her late majesty was aware
of the old tradition and refused. One
wonders whether in the future there
will be four monarchs Of England

Eairies-Good and Bad.

Deep down in their hearts, II the
truth were told, the majority OF grown
ups have a strong regard for fairy
stories, and there are few Of US with
so little imagination that we have not
a liking for these light. fantastic tales.
Just as there are all sorts and condi-
tons of men, so are fairies diverse as
a class. The banshee is an Irish fairy,
and Scotland calls 1t a brownie. An
elf is a fairy Of diminutive size, sup
posed to be fond Of practical jokes.
Genii are eastern spirits, sometimes
good. but occasionally bad, gnome
Is q guardian of coal mine or. quarry
and a goblin a phantom spirit. Imp Is
the Welsh spirit Of mischief and jack
o-lantern a bog or marsh fairy who
loves to mislead. Every one knows the
mermaid as the sea spirit, and nalads
are water nymphs. Oberon was king
of the fairies, and a pixie is a fairy OF
Devon. Puck, full of fun, is Swedish,
and a sylph Is a spirit of the air.

Rich vein Found Near
0rogrande.
in NOW BEING DEVELOPED
Shows Four Feet of Good Ore
at Present.

From Frank M. Peck, who has
just returned from Orogrande, it
is learned that the vein that has
thrown the rich float on the
Knob Hill group has been found
and is being opened up.
The vein as at present opened
is about a ft. wide and gives
promise of carrying a long pay
shoot. The values run very high
and the ore is very free. Mr..
Peck ownes two claims, and has
exposed another vein that is 10
ft. wide that carries an 18 inch
pay streak that is high grade,
running better than $100 to the
ton in gold.
At present a force of men are
at work sinking a shaft to de-
termine the dip and strike of the
vein, and when this is done a
tunnel will be started that will
tap the pay shoot at considerable
depth.
The Knob Hill group is situat.
ed on the high butte south o1
Orogrande, and has always beer
noted for the rich float found OF
the surface, but until the presen'
discovery, it has never beer
found in place., 1t is one of thu
few places in this section wher'
rhyolite is found, and it is thi
formation that has caused Mr.
Peck to so thoroughly prospec
the ground.

WORK AT THE
MINERAL ZONE
Mill Will Start in a Few
DaVS,

The work of getting the Buster
mill in shape to mill ore from the
Mineral Zone group is moving
along, and it will be only a few
days before it will be running.
A boiler has been placed at the
pump station and will be con-
nected up and ready this week.
The mill itself is all ready and
the ore bins have been built and
a road graded to them. A con-
tract has been let for the haul
ing of the ore.
At the mine, there is about
100 tons of ore now on the dump
to be taken to the mill. The
work of placing the hoist is about
completed and then the shaft
will be sunk deeper. The hoist
ing has been done with a whip
formerly.
The drift has been run As #
in ore, and it is understood tha'
a raise will be put up, and {
stope started.
On the whole the work is pro
crossing very satisfactory, an(
the vein is holding it's own boti
in size and values.

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Alaska miners have had much
TO contend with in their efforts
to discover ore, but the first
corners have developed great
ingenuity in monopolizing a creek
once discovery is made. There
being no limit to the number of
claims that can be staked, and
power of attorney being recog-
nized, only the amount of wood
available and the length of the
telephone directory at hand has
determined the territory covered
by association claims. At
Aniak they have gone even fur
ther. The men first on the
ground covered the creeks with
claims. These they promptly
leased to themselves. The new
conner, therefore, who wants
lay must content himself with
a suitcase. Such a system must
operate to limit development ex--
cept where the discovery is so
obviously rich as to lead men to
take unfair chances in the effort
to develop mine.
Work existing upon claims.
when located cannot be entered,
except by fraud; for the appli-
cant must make oath that work
entered was performed by him
self or grantors. Where the
claimant re-locates his claim to
prevent others from locating it
through his failure to do the
annual labor, it is believed,
though there is no decision or
ruling on that point, that he has
lost all prior work for patent
purpose. 1t may be said in favor
of the claimant, when making
his patent application, that he
has actually performed the work
he reports; and if there has been
no intervening location, and his
relocation being more nominal
location, his rights date back to
the first location on the principle
of resuming work. Against him
is the $500 expenditure implying
that the work must be done on
the location entered for patent,
= and not under a former location;
also, that he should be penalized
for trying to avoid annual labor
by losing for patent purposes the
work which he relocated. Il
the fsrfeiting owner has the
right to relocate his own ground
/, just as a stranger would have, as
the court held in one case re-
ported, then he should have no
patent rights to his old work,
just as stranger would not. At
| any rate, the claimant should re-
sumo work on his forfeitable To-
t cation instead of relocating; he
: should make amended locations
s. instead of re-locations, whenever
defects Or changes of location
are to be adjusted.

The Golden Rule placer, owned
by Frank Bosch and Chas Tiede-

work for the season. The run
this year was the best that has
been made at this property since
it was opened. The long season
of water, and the fact that they
have got into the old channel is
the reason given by the owners.

County Division is Off
This Year.
NOT MUCH INTEREST TAKEN
Was a Very Light Vote in ALI
Precincts.

The primary election held yes
terday, passed off quietly, and
not as much interest was taken
as was expected, and hardly 30
per cent of the precinct vote
was cast. Aside from two or
three candidates, the interest
was all on county division, and
what vote was cast clearly dem
onstrated that this precinct is
against any division at this time.
A great many of the tickets
were badly marked, and it is
evident that many think that
YOU can vote for a republican on
the democratic ticket and have
it counted.
Of the II votes cast here, the
republicans got about 20, and
this was only in two instances.
as very few of the votes cast was
full ticket. On the democratic
ticket, there was a great many
that did not vote the full ticket,
and as a result none of the can
didates received the full party
vote. Of the candidates that
were of local interest, j. |. Over
man for state auditor received
Sc votes, the highest for any
state office. On the county ticket
the offices of state senator, rep
resentative, sheriff, commissioner
and prosecuting attorney were
about all there was any contest
over, and the following are the
results:
For state senator: William H.
Casady, L; Allen l.. Creelman, 3;
Wallace N. Scales, Al.
For representative; Riley Rice
9; Charles w. Sallee, 8; George
w. Stephen, 26; Arthur z.
Mundt, "a.
For county commissioner: LIST
district. N. B. Pettibone, 35; 70
district, w. M. Schiller, "a; Sc
district, R. P. NASH. 80.
For sheriff: Charles S. Thomp-
son, 81; William Allen, IL.
For prosecuting attorney: nj
Reese Hattabaugh, %; Edward
M. Griffith, Is.
Reports from Grangeville are
that the election was very hotly
contested, and the county divi
sion candidates were beaten by
small majority.
Of the principal candidates
that were making any fight
Thompson for sheriff is well il
the lead, as is Hattabaugh TO,
prosecuting attorney.
AS for the state ticket, wher'
there was any contest, it will b.
several days before anything
definite can be learned.
