STICK TO IHE ORE

The following good advice is taken
from the Mining and Engineering
World and every prospector would
DO well to follow it.:
Sticking to the ore in the de-
velopment Of a mine is maxim as
old MS mining itself. Following this
maxim has made the fortune of
many a mining man, and disregard
of it has caused manv mining
failure. To his adherence to this
mining pinciple, even though his
workings become so crooked that
the ore has to be packed out on the
back, the Mexican owes his reputa-
ton for his nose for ore. Following
the stringer of ore. not the gen.
eral vein naturalization enabled
Fair to make the discovery of the
big bonanza on the Comstock lode.
Many another important mine owes
its greatness to man who followed
that sensible plan in developing
it."

Gifts for Filipino Tribesnten.
While travelling around among these
people of the mountains the giving OF
presents enters great deal into the
methods OF treating with them. As a
rule the gifts which are acceptable are
mere trifles. Among the Ifugaos Gus
tom formerly required them to wear

OF onion skin tissue paper an inch
wide has been introduced, and 1t is
now the universal present from the
secretary on his visit These papers
are worn as sign Of holiday, and
after the fiesta is over they are care
fully preserved till another occasion
calls them forth. The Iongots and
Calingas like beads, and a common
bead of imitation agate which Is worth
few centavos in Manila has it's
value enhanced till 1t is worth 80 CEN
tavos in the hills. Scarlet cloth is
also acceptable to the Ifugaos and
Ilongots. One of the very highest
prizes Of all is the pearl oyster shell,
and several OF these are always taken
along. A great deal OF discretion must
be exercised In giving such presents,

place them In the hands of the wrong

STORM CELLARS
FOR HIS FRIENDS

There is growing suspicion that
Mr.. Taft is inclined to provide,
as one Washington correspondent
says, ''storm cellars for his
friends" The Washington CORES
pendent for the Louisville Courier
Journal says: The president de-
fined his policy in regard to politi-
cal appointments to be made be-
tween now and March. He said
bluntly, we asked the direct ques-
tion. that he certainly will fill
all vacant offices with republicans
until he has ceased to be president.
Mr.. Taft added that he believed
Sin his heart Mr.. Wilson will thank
him for it,"
This puts the patronage matter
up to the democrats. The surest
way to prevent republicans from
holding such places as surveyor of
Louisville port for the next four
years, as they have for the last six
teen years is to arrange with the
democratic minority in the senate
to hold Up the appointments.
Without confirmation, Surveyor j.
Frank Taylor and others in similar
plight would go out of Office as
soon as their democratic successors
were appointed. The presidents
mind is made up and nothing can
be done to change him, according
to the views he expressed to one or
two newspaper men. He will make
such appointments for four years
instead of taking no action at all ,
and thus permit the incumbents to
hold ON until the new president
makes his slate in forming this
decisi On. Mr.. Taft is cllwing the
precedent set by President
Roosevelt. but disregarding that of
President Cleveland. Before
Roosevelt left Office he took care
to reappoint all his friends whose
commissions and expired, but the
fact that be was to be succeeded
BY a presid ent of the same party
utilization may have determined his
action.
MIR. Cleveland, on the contrary.
in 1896 and 1897 took no action on
expire commissions, but left them
to Mr.. Mckinley, his successor.
