(Continued from page )

he has turned it down is not so. MT. Plate is planning on returning next summer and examine, the property after this winters work. and he told MT Chilberg that the nine was certainly worthy of further eXplortation. Hence as We did not get our machinery in this winter several ot my associ- ates were in favor of closing down for the winter but l preferred go- ing on with the development work"
 In speaking of the development of the property Mir. Silverman says, The showing in the lower work ings of the mine has excelled my most sanguine expectations. The character of the ore is identical with the ore now being treated at Butte, Montana, where they have silver, lead, zinc and copper ore to treat. As far as the values are concerned the grade Of the Stikine Mining Company's ore is fully double in value of a simular ore being treated from the Butte and Superior Company where they are handling twelve hundred tons a day at large profit and with only half the values of the Stikine ore. While the past year has been an except ionally dry one making navigation on the river difficult, the Stikine
 is no worse than many other rivers in Alaska, and with the proper boats the difficulties can be over come. The Ore from this section can be mined, concentrated, trans ported and smelted at a cost ot about ten dollars per ton. The Ssikine Mining Company's proper ty is not the only prospect in that section, for there are many. The mineral zone is 4ooo feet wide and has been prospected and traced back from the river for three mi!e The district is wonderful and l am not disheartened at the prospects and want to keep digging this Win. ter with a small crew of seven CT eight men,
 At the close of his address MT. Silverman stated that several Of the business men of Wrangell had approached him and ask if it was possible to purchase some of the stock of the company, as they were m.l.ing to show their belief in the sutare of the section and help in the development of the country, py so doing, and to give them a chance a small block of the treasury stock would be oferd for sale to them as ,ae company was desirous of hay ins their corporation. Within few hours s5ooo was subscribed for that purpose, MT. P. c. McCo~macF, the enterprising business man heading the list with one thousaL l dollars.
 NIT. Sllyerman with a small crew of men left at noon yesterday for the property and will resume work on a small scale for the winter.

are epithets hurled at US to arouse
some desired resentment, or they are

is the reaction they touch off that
makes them significant, not their

Diplomacy.

When King Alfonso Of Spain is stay
ing at San Sebastian, says the Man
chester News, he frequently goes
across to Biarritz for an afternoon Of
recreation.
On one occasion he arrived at the
station there and hailed dacre. The
driver recognized him, and when his
majesty asked what the fare was said,
For the king Of Spain it will be 10
francs" The king smiled and merely
paid the ordinary fare as provided BY
the tariff. To that amount, however,
ne added a tip of the usual size.
A few days later he was again In
Biarritz and also took fiacre. But on
this occasion the cocher was moro dip
lomatic When asked the amount OF
the fare he replied. Your majesty
owes me nothing for the small service
/ have had the honor to render him. u
His majesty replied to this courteous
speech by presenting the cabby with Z
100 franc note.

Becky Sharp was the first society

under which nothing year can be a

The secretary Of the Christian asso-

BROUGHT ACTION TO AN END
Appearance of the Deceased" In
Chancery Court Blow to Army
of Lawyers.

1t was suit in chancery, and there
was great gathering of the de-
ceased's family, quarreling, as rela'
tives will, over the division of the
spoils. The lawyers engaged chuckled.
for the suit seemed likely to be pro-
fonged and complicated.
There were many lawyers, too, and
the judge marveled at the immensely
of the deceased mans family as silk
and stuff rose in rapid succession, in
PRODUCING themselves with the usual
formula: "And l, my lord, am for the
nephews, or nieces. or fifteenth cousins
removed, as the case may be, of the
deceased" The procession seemed IN
terminable, but at last it came to IN
end. Then a small voice was heard
timidly saying from the back Of the
court, May l be allowed to speak, my
lord?"
There was dead silence as his lord
ship adjusted his spectacles and asked,
rather dejectedly, who are you?"
The answer was, to say the least,
unexpected.
81 am the deceased. my lord" said
the modest voice from the back of the
court. That ended the action.
Quite unknown to his relatives, the
deceased" had turned up from the
wilds of Rhodesia. Obviously a man
of humor, he must have taken a de-
light in watching how "the best-laid
schemes of mice and men gang aft
agley."

Bricks From Babylon.

There is law in the Turkish en.
pire prohibiting the expectation Of rel
les and antiques more than 100 years
old. and the fact that it is on the stat
ute books gives rise to the common
practice of offering spurious articles to
the tourist. Real objects of art or Of
sufficient age to be Of value are rarely
to be purchased. and the general desire
OF the visitor. therefore, seems to be to
obtain stones or pieces Of clay from
the sites Of ancient ruins or bricks
with inscriptions. The former can
probably be obtained, but they are
practically valueless, as one piece Of
clay from Babylon is quite like anoth-
er from Musol. Bricks from either Of
these places that are known to be gen
uine are unobtainable.

CHILDREN HURT BY NOISES
How the Little Ones Suffer From the
Various Connections Of
Big City.

Very few mothers realize how ex-
to noises of all kinds and how much
Of their "naughtiness" is due to nerv-
GUS irritation set up by all the house
hold noises of the day.
To a certain extent every woman
who has the care Of children realizes
this fact. When the baby goes to bed
all the house is hushed in order that
it may sleep.
But once the child awakens no con
sideration is shown to its tender
nerves, and the evil consequences to
the child's health are often very seri-
GUS and cling to it all through life.
Doctors are always insisting on this
paramount characteristic of the young
child-its great nervous sensibility.
And any mother who observes the
child when door is banged, dog
barks or street trader shouts will
notice it's distress. At every bang or
other sudden noise there is nervous,
frightened start.
The result of a days noise O. al
kinds to young children, espec:~'y !.
they are delicate, is state of l.. o.
depression and irritation.
This is commonly mistaken for tenn
| per and naughtiness, but it is real
nervous illness. They not only be
come petulant, but their appetite fails
and their digestion is thrown into dis
| order.
No doubt the evil effects Of city life
| on children are due in great part to
the incessant noise.-Kansas City

Gilbert Stuart.

Gilbert Stuart G755-1S2S) was born
in Narragansett, R. l., the son of a
snuff grinder. At the age of fifteen,
without any instruction whatever, he
began to paint portraits that attract
ed the attention of a young Scotch
artist named Alexander, who took him
to Scotland in 1772. In IVA he re-
turned to America, where he re-
manned for year. He went back to
London in 1775, and for a short time
he played the organ in a small church
in that city. In 177S he entered the
studio of Benjamin West as a pupil,
but later set up studio of his own,
and remained working there for some
years. He came back to this country
once more IN 1892, and painted many
portraits IN New York and Philadel-
phia, among them the famous 1875

During the reign of Louis XIV of
France the light chaise came into fash
ion, and great ladies of Paris were &C
customed to drive in them about the
city. But beautiful hands are not al
ways strong ones; accidents began to
occur more and more frequently in the
streets. Consequently, says Das Buch
fuer Allie, the king besought the min
lister Of police to do something, since
the lives of pedestrians were constant
ly in danger
Il will do whatever is in my power
replied the police minister. your
majesty desires that these accidents
cease entirely"
The king replied, Certainly"
The next day there appeared a rova]
ordinance that ordered that, in the flu
ture, ladies under thirty years of age
should not drive chaises through the
streets of Paris. That seems a milo
restriction; but it is said that scarcely
woman from that time on drove hel
own chaise. The police minister knew
that few women would care to adver
tise the fact that they were over thirty
and that the rest would probably bs
too old to drive, anyway.
