NJ HRISTMAS gifts We're common
Y in Medieval times Accounts
tell of the chambers guild send
ing out gratis to everyone Il special
sort of big, fiat candles which were
burned with the Yuie log to light
the houses for the coming Of a super
natural Christmas visitor. The bak'
ers also sent out "Yule cakes or
"Yule babies" which were little Inn
ages of Christ. This custom, in fact
seems to be even older, it being re
corded on the cid Roman calendars
that on the Vigil Of the Nativity little
images of the Christ Child were made
in great numbers and presented to
the fathers in the Vatican.
Gradually the sentiment Of Peace
on earth, good will to men" and the
celebration of the spirit by general
gifts seems TO have spread through
the other guilds, and finally to have
become general
In England today there is a survival
of the ancient custom practiced by
landowners of setting big sacks OF
grain or other products outside the
gate that whoever came might help
himself. It is said that an extra
Christmas eve feed is also still given
to the cattle

Melting Pot of Pacific" Consoles Her

Yuetide Fixines.

ia 0NOLULU on Christmas eve con
~ soleS herself for the lack of
snow and other traditional Yule-
tide fXings with what a paper calls
"a conglomerate festlvity impossible
of counterpart anywhere else in the
world" With an abandonment Of
hilarity equaied only by the pure in
congruity Of the thing, Americans
Japanese. Englishmen. FilipInos, Por-
tuguese, Koreans, soldiers. sailors and
civilian men, women and children, took
part in the pageant Of the streets
throwing confetti and lighting fire
crackers.
After all, it is the incongruity that
makes The celebration of Christmas in
Honolulu unique, Here in the melting
pot Of the Pacific, where those who
melt are matched by those who resist
the alchemy, all nations of the earth
meet in common observance
Followers of Buddha and Confucius
take part in the Christian festival with
zest, just as Christians there help to
celebrate the religious holidays of
others. But this is a strange Christ
mas picture: Horns were every

tered and above the din at times could
be heard the plaintive tone of Hawaii's

.LEASERS ON BLACK BEAR
STRIKE HIGH GRADE ORE
IDAHO MINES LEASING COMPANY
WILL SOON HAVE MILL
IN OPERATION.

Leasing has come to be quite an i'm
portant factor in the mining industry
of the Occur d'Alene district. Most OF
the leases are in old workings in
which the amount of ore was not suf-
ficient to justify working on a large
scale, the companies finding it more
profitable to take a royalty from the
leasers together with a contract for
all ore mined. Some Of these leases
have proved very profitable, the ore
shoot in some cases proving to be
much larger and richer than estimat-
ed. and yet not sufficient to justify
companies in returning to the aban-
doned mines or to remote workings
of mines still active. A strike was
made by the leasers recently in the
old Black Bear now part of the Fris-
co group and owned by the Federal
company which from reports appears
to be the beginning of a bonanza
lease. The lease is held by Peter
Shoup, A A. Blank and Elmer Smith
and covers the ground above No.
tunnel and extending to No. 3. For
some time the outlook was very dis
on account of the large
amount of zinc, but the leasers kept
away in spite of discourage
ment until about two weeks ago when
a change came in. Lead began to
rapidly displace the zinc until the
shoot was between 3 and feet wide
and is reported to return an average
assay of about 60 per cent lead and 25
ounces of silver. A carload of this
high grade ore is now ready for ship
ment.
