A deal was consumated yester>
day morning whereby j. R:
Painter, secured the Mineral
Zone group Of claims from Mrs:
M. A. Parr. The consideration
is not given out, but it is known
that quite a payment was made.
Mr.. Painter is well-known IN
this section, having purchase the
Eakin bar on Salmon river, some
three years ago, and has been
operating there. 1t is his inten-
tion to commence active. develop
ment work in few days.
About two months ago Fred
w. Bradley and associates sent
B. C. Austin to Elk City to ex-
anime the Mineral Zone group,
and at that time took an option
pending the examination. Mr..
Austin made an exhaustive ex-
animation, and upon his report,
J.. H. Mackenzie arrived last
week to make final examlna-
ton, and arrange the terms OF
agreement. Mr.. Mackenzie re-
turned to Spokane with his SAM
pies, which it is understood were
satisfactory, but failed to make
terms acceptable to Mrs. Parr.
From Mrs. Parr it is learned
that shortly after she had given
Mr.. Bradley an option, that Mr..
Painter requested that he be
given an opportunity to deal IN
case that Mr.. Bradley did not
take the property. This was
agreed to and Mr.. Painter left
for his holdings on the Salmon
the Salmon river. In the mean
time the property had been ex'
amined and reported on, and ar
offer made that Mrs. Parr coulc
not see herself clear to accept,
in view of the fact that she hac
worked the property and taker
considerable money out OF IT
Mr.. Painter who is in Elk CITY
then made a proposition which
was accepted, and the papers
were signed.

preparations to continue The
work when negotiations were
opened with Fred w. Bradley
and associates, of San Francisco.
From what can be learned Of
the examination, 1t is said to
show pay shoot at one place OF
1875 ft. long, with an average
width of 5 it,, that runs better
than $50.
The Mineral Zone group con-
sists of eight claims, situated
about two miles north of Elk
City, on the ridge between
American river and Little Elk
creek, and on seven of the claims
is very heavy growth of timber.
The Colonel Sellers and the En-
terprise claims are the key to the
group and it is upon the Colonel
Sellers claim that the rich shoot
of ore is found. For several
years the work was done on the
Enterprise, and a tunnel was run
some 300 fit. At the portal of
this tunnel some very rich ore
was found, but in driving the
tunnel the ore was not followed
and the work was finally aband-
oned, and some two years ago
work was started on the Colonel
Sellers, with the result that g
rich shoot Of GRE was uncovered

Some Days Favorable
ma Cor. Chiacago News.

Vienna Cor. Chiacago News.
 Not alone tho weather but certain days in the week also exert favorable or unfavorable influences upon the human organism. Such are the conclu- sions reached by Prof. W. Trabert, di- rector of the Vienna Meteorological in- stitute, after collecting valuable data on the subject. That the weather af- fects the general condition of people has long been conceded. but Professor Ira < bert is the first to investigate the matS ter from the scientific standpoint.
 He induced large number of per~ sons of different standing and occupas tions to furnish him with particulars of their daily state of health. noting particularly any changes or disturb. ances in their normal condition. Many school teachers have also been making nvestigations along the same lines among their pupils. carefully classify. ing their general behavior and cons duct From the very interesting results thus obtained 1t is clear that other in- fuences than the weather affect the hu. man orga nism.
 For 1t was found that persons are subject to weekly periodical changes corresponding in almost the same meas- ure or degree to weather influence. With adults. for example, Saturdays and
 
 Tuesdays and Fridays many unfavora- ble deviations from the normal condi- ton were observed
 With school children it was found that Monday Is the best day and Satur- day the worst; also that ali afternoons are "unfavorable." The particular day Of the week is declared to have an un- doubted effect upon the general be- havior of the pupils. a very important fact pedagogically considered
 Eliminating the influence of the par ticular week day, Professor Trabert finds that certain days remain which are ''favora ble" or 'unfavorable," largely according to the prevailing weather Physiologically speaking. the day Is found to be bad when there is deep atmospheric depression and the day is good when the barometer is rising. Att mospheric pressure seems to affect the human condition very much as it does the weather.
 Professor Trabert explains that in dealing with the results of his re- searches he carefully excluded all ab- normal changes due to particular per- sonal conditions He is continuing his investigations on more extended lines and expects to make some important discoveries in this hitherto almost ,un- explored department of scientific knowl- edge.

Chicago, June 1s.-Colonel Roosevelt and his leaders decided tonight to make the contest over the report of the credentials committee tomorrow decisive test of strength. Most of the evening was given over to discussion of the plan to be adopted.
 Governor Hadley of Missouri received a commission to exercise a free hand in di- recting the fight,
 Talk of a bolt as the result of de- cision to disregard the action of ma jority of the convention unless 1t be composed of uncontested delegates was said to be unfounded.
 Colonel Roosevelt addressed a caucus of Roosevelt delegates for quarter of an hour He said the situation tonight seemed to be most encouraging, and he felt sure the convention would not sup port the national committee and seat del egates who he asserted, had no rights in the convention. In emphatic language he told the delegates he would not abide by such action and he felt sure they would not.
 T regret to say said MT. Roosevelt III ms dudfesa, lildl +hi' AN"0N i2 ''iS beneficiary and representing only of the majority of .he defGnct national commit tee, winch seated in that convention so or 90 delegates who have no claim what eves in Jaw pr in morals 70 seats therein.
 Colonel Roosevelt added that .he GA oases which he had personally eXamirei about which any honest man could Lave no doubt. represented men taken from my strength and added Q the strength of MT Taft-making a shift of 12s votes The two great fragrant cases where en- the states were Washington and Texas-would alone have reversed the vote of the convention.

His Observation

From the New York Tribune.
 Robert Henri. the artist paused be- fore a landscape at the Pennsylvanla Academy of the Fine Arts and said.
 ''Dawb made his first success in Paris. He was diffident and abashed in those days When he would sally out from his garret in the Rue Vaugirard to a Elysees. or a princess in the Rue de rITniversite, his heart would be in his mouth.
 'They say that once at dinner party at Paillard's Dawb. the guest of honor. didn't open his mouth from the oysters to the souffle.
 "Finally when the desert came on, the beautiful and elegant hostess smiled and said:
 .come. dear Monsieur Dawb, do say something,
 .Dawb blushed at this challenge. racked his brain and stammered, with bash ful smile:
 Have you noticed, ladies and gentle- men. that this years pawn tickets are all green?'"

Earlier in the day the graduates attended the meeting of the alumni and with the younger re- union classes, in the fantastic costume donned for the day, marched to Yale field.
 The antics of the various classes, as they marched in front of the stands pre- liminary to the game, brought forth roars of applause, particularly when a graduate representing "Theodore Roose- velt entered the ring" of 19O9's men grouped in circle about home plate He immediately threw his hat into the ring and dared any one to pick it up. A graduate. representing Wm. Jennings Bryan accepted the challenge but was worsted in fist fight and carried off the field
 A suffragette then entered the arena and defeated the colonel while tne stands cheered.

DECISIVE TEST OF
 STRENGTH ON THE
 COMMITTEE REPORT
roosevelt Speaks To Caucus of Delegates and Reerates nten ton Disregard Action of Convention Unless Contested
 Delegates Are Unseated-Hadley Has Free Hand

"on an honest vote MT. Taft would have been in minority of 72. His election represents the taking advantage If suc- eessful fraud, and nothing else
 MT. Roosevelt then took oc ;asion to reiterate what has been understood as plain intmatiDr Of intention to disfe- gard the action of the convention, If the contested delegates were not unseated.
 "I serve notce,n exclaimed MI Roose- welt with emphasizing, that we will not treat any action taken by the conyen- tion as b,ading upon any member of ceii- xention or any member of the republican, party, if the nominal majority taking the actiLn contains as an essential paft the fraudulent delegates to whose votes Mir. Root is indebted for his aeleeton. In particular 1 wish to say that ! speak for the great majority of Roosevelt dele gates when l say they will decline 10 recognize as of any important force what ever any report of the credentials com nittee dependent upon the votes of any of the fraudulent delegates who may be but upon the committee or of my men representing them who are on the com mistee.
 ''F'ull opportunity will be given the honestly elected delegates to this conven- ton to purge roll of the delegates dis honestly placed there by the action of the national committee, but if they fail to avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded, then the action of the con vention will be binding on no honest man.
 This speech was suppressed by Colonel Roosevelts managers without his knowl- edge When he learned of this fact to- night, he gave peremptory orders that it should be given out for publication. After he had retired for the night his managers again declined to give out the text of the speech, saying that they could not fina the copy. A stenographic copy was secured, however. without their assistance.

Be a Booster

Tn the siege of Ladysmith during the Boer war a civilian was tried by court martial and sent to prison because he dis couraged the soldiers who were defending the city. He was a knocker. The man was accustomed to go along the picket line and say discouraging things to the men on duty He told them the city was doomed and secuted all sug- gestion of relief.
 He was rightly sent to jail. In such time of stress no man has any right to weaken the hearts of men.
 It is great pity every community should not have the power to put it's knockers in jail. The knocker is a prophet of evil who goes about with gloomy face and retails his forebocings.
 He sees only the dark side.
 Temperamentally the knocker cannot forbear to throw cold water on any exhi- biton of generous enthusiasm He is a wet blanket He dampens all ardor.
 He is pessimist
 Instead of trying to lift some of the burdens from the shoulders of men he puts on new burdens; instead of clear ing the pathway for progress he puts ob- stacles in the way. He eases no pain of the sufferer. but helps to widen the wounds.
 He is a discourager.
 Everywhere worn and weary men and women galantly fight in defense of some beleaguered city of Ladysmith. Many are hard pressed. and some are upon the verge of surrender.
 Now
 He who goes along the picket line of mortal life with his disheartening proph- ecy of failure. who makes heavy the heart and palsies the arm of the brave warrior. is a traitor to his race. Humanity is brave and needs only the word of cheer and hope.
 There is subtle force in suggestion, whether good or i'll. Use it to boost your comrade. If he be discouraged tell him endorsements are coming. Suggest suc- cess.
 Do not be a knoeker.
 Be booster.

ASQU|TH VISITS
 DUBLIN JULY 10 Irish Preparing a Magnifi-
 cent Welcome MEMORIAL TO MOORE Tourist Took So Many Souvenirs Off "Tom Moore's Tree" That
 It Has Fallen to the
 Ground

Dublin. June S.-(Special.) .)-Prime Min ister Asquith has fixed July IS as the date for his triumphal visit to Dublin. The Irish people are making to give the British prime minister magnificent welcome.
 On the day following his arrival here, MT Asquith will address a meeting to be held in the Theatre Royal, the iarg- est auditorium available. Already al- most every seat in the house has been allotted and many will be disappointed owing to the physical impossibility of giving tickets of admission to all ap- plicants John Redmond will preside at the Dublin demonstration, at which Dillon and Devlin among other Irish members of the parliament will testi- fy to the fealty of the liberal leader to the cause of Irish home rule. Asquith will only-spend three days in Ireland and will not speak in Belfast as he had first intended.
 His visit recalls Gladstone's greatest disappointment. After the ftyins or the famous "Hawarden kite" in loso when the "G o. M" risked splitting ms party on Home Rule, Gladstone pledged Parnell that if he were given ma!or ity he would go to Dublin to solidity the friendship between the people or both countries. He never realized his ambition. When the Commons passed his second bill in the 90's 1t was evi- dent to everybody that the Lords would throw 1t out, as they did do. So, ill- health and dscouragement prevented him from fulfilling his pledge.
 A fitting memorial is to be erected at "Tne Meeting of the Waters, Avoca. celebrating the memory of the greatest of Irish poets Tom Moore. The memor- ial will be built around From Moore's Tree" whither come thousands of vis- itors from all parts of the world every year to pluck a leaf or a bit of bark to carry away IS souvenirs
 So much bark has been removed by these pilgrims to Avoca that the old tree dropped and fell last August It has since been restored and treated by experts to preserve and a concrete base with a railing placed around it to guard 1t from the too kind attentions of the tourist. Miss Littledale, owner of the estate whereon the tree spreads its branches. has given the plot to the Wicklow county council. A curious in- cident marked the efforts to save this nature relic of Moore, the poet of Irish nature. The Irish board of trade was asked by Miss Littledale to take charge of the plot so as to place 1t under the care of public authority. The secre- tary of the board replied regretfing inability to do this 'as the tree in ques- tion is not an ancient monument within

THE ATLANTIC POOL USED FIGHTING SHIPS

New York, June 1S.-Evidence in- tended to show that the alleged ship ping combine, generally known as the "Atlantic pool" used so-called fighting ships" in an effort to destroy rivals and suppress competition was intro duced today at the first of the hear ings in the federal governments suit against the alleged pool.
 A letter was put in evidence from the New York office of the Holland American to the Rotterdam office, to show the appointment of committee to select lighting" or competing ships. This letter stated that the Atlantic conference lines agreed to furnish the so-called lighting ships" at the same or lower rates than these outsiders"
