N AND MINERS

The Monitor mine, situated near
the summit of the divide between
Idaho and Montana, about three miles
from Adair, Idaho, is to be developed
by a crosscut tunnel which will cut
the vein at a depth of probably 1900
feet and make the output easily &C.
cessible to the Milwaukee railroad.
Work has now been started on this
important undertaking and necessary
buildings have recently been con-
structed to house the lei and pro-
vide for winter work.
Plans are being made for the active
development of the Highland-Surprise
property, on Pine creek, near Kellogg,
Idaho, during the winter. 1t is the
intention to prepare the mill on the
property to start operations in the
spring. The Highland-Surprise is
chiefly zinc, and the strengthening OF
the zinc market caused the manage
ment to busy itself. The road down
Pine creek is to be put in better re
pair to permit the easy haul of the
concentrates from the mill.
M. j. Farrell, of the Toledo grouI
of claims near Burke, Idaho, a few
months ago had a series of open cut
made on the Toledo claim which
showed up a strong and promising
ledge for a distance of over 800 feet
For the purpose of prospecting tn
vein a crosscut was started which
within the last few days has cut it a
a depth of 40 or SO feet, which show
the vein to be five or six feet wild
between perfect walls. Practical,
the entire vein is strongly oridizeI
quartz and carrying some value i

Facts About Brazil Nuts.

The Brazil nut tree, or castanha, is
probably of the forest aristocracy and
is easily the most majestic in the Am
AEON valley, growing to the height of
from so to 100 feet, in groups of up to
known as castanhals or nut orchards,
says the booklet by James McGloin,
an importer.
The Brazil nut tree does lot begin
to bear fruit until it attains the age of
so years or thereabouts, and continues
to produce crops internationally, al
most forever. At least, trees known
to be hundred of years old have pro-
duced crops. The crop natures about
in October and the pods in which the
nuts are contained drop in November
and December. These pods are very
hard and weigh several pounds, onse-
quently the castanhals are studiously
avoided during the period when the
pods are dropping.
Beginning early in January, the har-
vesting parties set put to gather the
crop. AS the only means of transpor-
tation in North Brazil is by water,
they travel in canoes up the smaller
tributaries to the castanhals. Arrived
there, the pods are assembled at the
foot of the trees and broken open with
the machete, after which the nuts are
carried in baskets to the canoes, which
when loaded are taken down the small
streams to the larger rivers navigable
by river steamers. AS the river
steamers are unable either to main.
tain regular schedules or await the ar
rival of gathering parties with nuts
it is necessary that the nuts be left
on the river bank in what are known
as "paioes." These paioes consist Of
cleared spaces protected from the hot
sun and tropical rains by palm leaf
shelters.
However, these paioes are hardly
sufficient, and in consequence more OF
less injury is sustained at this stage
according to the length of time tht
nuts remain in the paioes awaiting de
livery to the river steamers. In a few
districts, notably the Ayaqua district
the custom prevails among the natives
of washing the nuts, the method beini
the same as their ancestors employed
generations ago. When the canoes al
rive from the castanhals the nuts ar,

HAD SMALL BEGINNING
ORIGIN OF THE BANK OF THE
MANHATTAN COMPANY.
May Be Said to Have Started From
"a Well of Water" Though It Had
the Genius of Aaron Burr
Behind 1t.

The u~ncovering Of an old iron tank
in Center street recalled a piece of
ancient history in connection with the
Bank of the Manhattan Company, the
Wall Street Journal states. A spring
well 35 feet deep, covered by the iron
tank referred to and the present site
OF the bank, 40 Wall street, consti-
tuted the first property owned by the
Manhattan company, parent of the
bank now bearing that name.
The Bank of the Manhattan Com
pany sprang from a little water com
"a well of water" The charter of the
company was drawn by Aaron Burr,
and it's granting was opposed by Alex
ander Hamilton because it contained
a clause permitting the company Ito
employ all surplus capital in the pur-
chase of public or other stock or in
any other money transactions or OPP
erations not inconsistent with the con-
stitution and laws of New York or
of the United States"
This clause was the joker il the
charter of a company started for the
purpose Of supplying the city Of New
York with pure and wholesome wa
ter" In 1898 New York city suffered
from an epidemic of yellow fever
which was attributed to an inadequate
and inferior water supply. Here was
Aaron Burr's opportunity for start,
&c. la~Ir ~ x,lioh ofFort he hnd
for many years, been opposed by his
| political enemy, Alexander Hamilton,
who had a monopoly Of the banking
business in New York state until the
charter was granted the Manhattan
company.
Upon the assembling of the iegisla'
ture in 1893 an association of indi
viduals, among whom Aaron Burr was
a moving spirit, applied for the wa
ter company's charter with a capital
of 2 1000, 900. The project was an am
bilious one for those days, and as
there was considerable uncertainty
about the probable cost of the water
system the clause for the employment
of idle capital was inserted. A great
effort was made by Alexander Hamil
ton and the federals to defeat the
charter on account of the clause grant
ing the company banking privileges
The necessity for a proper water sys
tenn which could only be procured b!

pany with large capital carried l
through the legislature IN April 2
1899, and it received the governor
signature.

over his political enemy. The ban

only bank stock owned by the stat

Rheumatic Throat

Be Treated in Blood
To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles tina te
soreness In the throat, but to prevent ,nsA.
incessant return, the blood must be put in
order. The best remedy is S. s. s., as Ii
influences all the functions of the body to
neutralize the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretion through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat is a dangerous
indication. as it means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
neys can excrete, and may thus lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action of S. s. S. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the Accumulation OF
i~rritants in local spots. 1t enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to its breaking-down
influence, Is scattered and eliminated. In
other words, 5. S. s. prevents chronic con-
ditions by enabling all the mucous Innings
Of the body to secrete healthy mucus. Its
influence Is shown in a marked improve
ment of the bronchial tubes, whereby the
huskiness of voice with thiX, grayish eS.
