A Chicago Wow of the Question From
a Masculine Viewpoint.
Citizens Of the older towns where It
is customary for men Of any social pre-
tentions whatsoever to wear formal
evening clothes after in the after.
noon often reproach Chicagoans for
not following this time honored Gus.

explanations given. because these ex.
plantations are rather evasions and do
not explain anything. t
AS matter Of fact, although nearly
every Chicago man knows why his
full dress accumulates dust and sus.
tains moths in the dim recesses Of the
closet he does not realize that his rea.
sons are the reasons that consign the
glad garments OF his fellow men to a
similar desuetude. 1t may be just as

If one could make q formal evening
dress map Of Chicago one could show
several small, well defined areas in and
about the city where the open faced
waistcoat and spiketailed coat are
necessary. or at least permitted. In the
loop, about theaters and fashionable
hotels. such garments are worn with
out misgivings. and In certain narrow.

raiment Of JOY without danger But tf
one essays to go from one of these
haunts Of fashion to the other. except

MIDAS PROPERTY
 STARTS MONDAY
BAGGAGE SENT OVER TODAY
Crew Will Go Over First of Week, and the Work of Mining Commenc- ed-Plan to Make the Property a Regular Shipper.

Superintendent Palmer Cook and a crew of twenty men will leave Mon day morning for the Granby mine and will commence work on the de- velopment of the property at once.
 The baggage of the crew was sent over this morning on the launch Mary Lee, and the men are to follow the first of the week. It is expected to increase the crew as soon as condi- tions permit, and the plans for the seasons work consists of taking out a large quantity of ore, and making shipments to the smelter of the com pany, which has been largely increas- ed in capacity during the winter, and is now believed capable of handling a large amount of ore from this mine. l

DIVIDEND 0N GRANITE STOCK
STOCK REACHED soc A SHARE
President of Granite Mining Company Says Indebtedness Is Wiped Out Rumored New Strike.

Col. B. F: Willard returned yester- day from the Granite mine. Mir Mill lard confirmed the rumor that the company would pay dividend on it's stock and stated that every indebted ness of the company had been wiped out. The dividend will be paid in Seattle and will be per cent.
 Aside from this. Col. Willard refus- ed to talk concerning the property, and stated that for the next ninety days he would have absolutely noth- ing concerning the property to give out for publication. His reason for this, he said, was that the stock of the company had recently been listed on the exchanges in New York and Spokane, and he did not propose to be party to any boosting of the stock, as, in the event that anything should go wrong and depress the price of the stock, he would have to bear the brunt of the blame. If he did not talk he could not be held re- sponsible for any rise or fall in the market for the stock. The Colonel did say that, in his opinion, the prop erty had made to this time a won- derful showing, but further than that he would not talk.
 There was a rumor about town that something pretty good had been struck at the mine, but MT. Willard refused to either affirm or deny this.
 However, if appearance may be taken to indicate anything, every thing must be perfectly satisfactory at the property, for Col. Willard was in the best of spirits which would not have been the case were things not going smoothly, so it is safe to take it for granted that MT. Millard's re- fusal to discuss the property is not due to any lack of merit in the pro- ject.
 MT. Willard stated that the stock opened on the New York and Spo- kane exchanges at 75c, and that he had received advices that on March 28 it had reached soc per share.
