NEW CAMP
HAS MINES
IS REPORT
Rochester Looks Like
a Winner

Interest continues to grow IN Ro-
chester Canvon, the new strike which
has occasioned a rush TO the Dig
gings and also the mapping OF three
townsites. Word received from the
camp in this city is to the effect that
there is very good surface show
ing. with indications OF at least two
mines being opened The ground
at present is being handled by leas-
ers, and considerable shipping ore is
already out and more in sight The
letter advises all to keep away unless
they can come with sufficient money
to carry them through tho winter as
accommodations are not of the be It

high.

Every prospect is present to give
the camp the biggest sort OF fore

thusiasm that with depth il will out

block. which is three hundred feet
long, is maintained then the leasers
have calculably $l2O.OOO worth or orc

The Mcconnell copper properly,

MOST HANDSOME OF ANIMALS
Body Stripes Of the Zebra Might Have
Been Designed by a
Draughtsman.

The zebra is, perhaps, of all quadru-
peds the best made and most beautiful
clad by the hand Of Nature. To the
figure and graces of the horse, 1t adds
the elegance Of the stag; and the black
and white bands with which its body
Is ornamented are arranged with such
wonderful symmetry that we might al
most be disposed TO imagine that rule
and compass had been employed in
their formation. These alternate bands
are narrow, parallel and exactly sep
arated. They extend not only over the
body, but the head, thigh and legs and
even over the ears and tail. They fol-
low so exactly the contour of the diff
ferent forms that they exhibit the en-
tire figure in the most advantageous
point of view. In the female these
bands are alternately black and white.
In the male they are black and yellow,
but always of q lively and brilliant tint.
They also rest upon ground of short,
fine and copious hairs. whose luster
considerably augments the general
beauty of the colors.

ART IS WORTH CULTIVATION
Quality of Being Agreeable Carrles
a/Man Far on His Troublous
Journey Through Life.

The true art OF being agreeable is
to appear well pleased with all the
company and rather to seem well en-
tertained with them than to give en-
tertainment to them. A man thus
disposed perhaps may not have much
learning, nor any wit, but if he have
common sense and something friendly
in his behavior it conciliates mems
minds more than the brightest talents
without this disposition, and when
man OF such a turn comes to old age.
he is almost sure to be treated with
respect.
tits true, indeed, that we should not
dissemble or datter in company, but
a man may be very agreeable, strictly
consistent with truth and sincerity, by
a prudent silence where he cannot
concur, and a pleasant assent when he
can. Now and then you meet with 9
person SO exactly formed to please
that he will gain upon everyone that
hears or beholds him; this disposition
is not merely the gift of nature, but
frequently the effect Of much knowl-
edge Of the world and a command
over passions.

Antiquity of Tennis.

Tennis Is probably one Of the most
ancient ball games, and was a sport
long before cricket was dreamed OF.
Though undoubtedly not existing dur.
ing the Arthurian period, tennis, or aR
It was called "tenex," is mentioned in
the Arthurian legends, written in
1900, and the Knights of the Round Ia
BILE we're pictured as engaged in the
sport when the weather was too hot
for Journeys Or 1ousts. From q very
simple beginning, and through many
centuries, the intricacy Of the games
rules have been developed. It's pres

Ghe term "tenez," which the server
used In the same way ready" is
called out now. In The beginning the
name was "jeu de paume," taken from
the fact that the ball was struck with
the hands instead of with racket.
Later the hand was encased in a glove
and still later the glove was covered
with strings, running crisis, CROSS, from
which condition there was hut a short
step to the short-handled racket. In
feudal times the courts were merely

KING OF ALL THE TuBERs
Compared Witt, the Yam, Irish Potato
Is Called EnsIpid, sAImost
TasteIess BuIh.

The golden yam, says the Washing
ton Post, that Celebrates the sun and
the soil into a sugar which makes sac
charine seem sour, was set apart by
our first parents as the overload Of all
tubers. The history of it's Irish rival
may be definitely traced to the foster
care of Raleigh. 1t spread into Ian
cashfre, its path through the low
countries may be followed as clearly
as the march Of the army worm. But
the genealogy of the yam is lost in the
morning mists Of antiquity It is sup
posed TO be identical with the man
drake for which the Orient peoples
dug as for hidden treasure. Beyond
all peradVenture it was the yam to
which the Spanish gave what after
ward became the generic name ''bata-
ia" modified into our own collective
potato" Its purple flowers were hail
ed as the harbingers of natures rich
est largesse, while Humboldt was still
doubling whether nature originally
had anything to do with the creation
OF the Irish potato. 1t is the succu-
lent root to which loving illusions are
made by the great dramatist, who
would have condemned the Mermaid
as tavern If he had been offered the
tasteless bulb exploited by Master
Raleigh.

Substitute Silver.

When the silver was rounded up at
the end of the days work the master
Of the pantry sorted out eleven spoons
engraved with the names of other res.
taurants and hotels.
And that Is getting Off pretty
WELL said he. These were left by
customers who swiped some of our
own silver. Walters have become so
expert at counting at just one glance
the pieces of silver they remove from
table that the average pilferer is
ashamed to secrete a fork or spoon
unless he has something to replace it
with. Eyes sharp enough to take in
the number of pieces cannot read
names and monograms at arms
length, SO the substitute is pretty sure
TO prevent detection. Souvenir fiends
who go to big restaurants with the in
tention of carting off a part of the
silver have got smart enough to leave
other spoons that they have got tired

Republic Founded by charIemaane.

At 'TrieT or Treves, France. the
other day there was held one of the
most picturesque of international con-
crosses. 1t was the Marian congress.
which interests itself in the teaching
Of the Roman Catholic church about
the Virgin Mary. The most interest
ing personality of them all, perhaps,
presided over. the Spanish section.
This was Bishop Don Juan Benlloch
y Vivo, sovereign prince of the re-
public of Andorra. The little state
lies high In the Pyrenees, and is under
the suzerainty of the president of the
French republic and the bishop of
Urgel in Spain. The nation, which
last year numbered 5,321, has to pay
$50 francs a year to Trance and $50
francs to the prince bishop. The
French president and the bishop
each nominate a magistrate and they
take it in turns to choose Judge Of
appeal. The republic is one of the
most ancient states IL Europe, and
the bishops of Urgel enjoy their sover-
eighty over it by virtue of a decree OF
Charlemagne.

DID BUSINESS IN MILLIONS
But at Close of the Days Proceedings
Bankers Couldn't Produce
$40 In Currency.

One discovers more different sorts
of odd things in New York than any
where else in the world. For example,
writes the New York correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Times-Star, there is
banking house downtown which oc-
cupies almost an entire floor in one
OF the most exclusive business struct-
ures. This banking house handles
nothing but "big" business. Nothing
less than a $1,000,000 transaction can
secure the attention of the senior
partners. They rather fancy taking
complete charge OF great bond Is
sue, which gives their letter writer's
almost free rein in tying ciphers to
numerals. About the time the mar
ket closes feet of honking motor
cars nils the street beneath, waiting
for the various partners to home,
John. The other day a man came
in with a $40 due and payable, ad
dressed to one of the juniors
"And wish you'd let ne have the
currency" said he. TIN off for the
0Oe3ohOAS anu ASSQ a AtttO
The junior partner said, Certainly"
And went through his pockets He
had less than 81. He walked into the
glass paTtitioned room inhabited by
the next Junior with a request for
cash. The next junior he'd Sill and
was ON his way uptown. The junior
partner tried the seniors. None was
in Then he called the head clerk and
asked him to cash a check for the
sum.
Sorry, SIR" said the head clerk,
but there isn't $40 in the vaults.
So that a boy was sent to bank on
the street level and the money OBJ
tanned. The explanation is, of course,
that such an establishment has no
need for actual cash in the transac-
ton Of its~business. But it is rather
queer that a banking house of such
magnitude should be stumped for $40.
