What!
Weal til tm the Old Chimney Where the
Bonanza Ores Were Beflned. '
For nearly a quarter of a century two
tall towers have stood at the foot ot
Hyde street, near Leavenworth, almost
on the edge of the beach. One rises to a
height of 110 feet and the other reaches
more than fifty feet in the. air. They
are both very broad and thick, and they
have brick enough in them to construct
several buildings.
They are relics of the flush old days
of the Corns tock mining era, when
Flood, O'Brien, Fair and others banded
together and erected the famous Selby
Smelting and Refining works. There,
from the bonanza days of 1860 to aa lata
as'-1885, " the .-great-" chimneys belched
forth fire and smoke. .They never stop

soot circled in the air over the domes at

toiled in and about the works, cutting

Clean Wheat Sella Best.
A gentleman who has been in the
wheat shipping business for a number of
years, and wIiobo experience fits him to
give an opinion or offer a suggestion, in
a conversation with a representative of
The Chboniclr today said :
"Now that the whirr of the thresher
is again heard in the land, you ought to
speak to the farmers about the advan
tages to them of clean wheat." ,
"What shall, we say??', was the. .ques
tion. V' . ', - - i:
You may say. that from the introduc
tion of foreign wheat, into this part of
the Inland Empire, considerable wild
oats has made its appearance ; and as
there are no elevators here to. clean- the
wheat, it should' be cleaned by the
thresher, whenever possible to do so, or
by the use of fanning mills."
Vhat is the loss to the farmer from
shipping foul wheat?"
"But very little ot the wheat which
comes to The Dalles finds a market here.
It is shipped to Portland, for export 6r

Two Kinds oi Courage.
: In some of- the everyday occurrences of
life women exhibit much more moral
courage than men. You can see that on
the .L" cars if yon use your eyes. When
a man retains bis seat while a woman
endeavors to maintain her balance by
nanging to a strap in front or him, he
generally makes a pretense of not seeins
her. - If he has a paper with him be will
appear to be absorbed in its perusal. If
he cannot avail himself of that conven
ient screen, he will pretend to be en
gaged in such deep meditation as to be
oblivious to all that is going on around
him, In one way or another he" will be
tray the fact that bis conscience is mak
ing a coward of him and that he is try
ing to cneat it . - - -
It is very different with the average
woman. Who that travels mnch in the
"L" cars basnt seen her often drop her
cnild into a seat that has fust been va
cated, while women in various stages of
weariness are standing up all around
her? She has paid uo fare for tho child:
she could very well continue to hold it

old works and the present klag pile mid

fifty-vara lots, or 3'4 acres. Meantime
he had several experts niako examina
tion of tho brick tower and the snr- .

"I do not think I will have any troublo
in getting the gold, silver and other
mineral out," he said yesterday. "It
was on the advice of an English exuert
that Selby & Co. took a lot of the debris
to PortJosta, and I am informed they
pot over $500,000 out of that. Several
skilled mining men have come to me
lately and offered to bny me ont or work
the chimneys, slag and soil on a per
centage. I have not closed with any
body and do not think I shall. There is -
an immense amount of slag there. In '
some places it is 200 feet deep. It ull
contains gold, silver and lead, with some
copper. I have had the ground assayed
around there, too, and it all shows np
well. In some places it is very rich."
Mr; duff's intention is to tear down "'
the great towers, which have so long
been landmarks in the history of the
city, and which can be seen for miles out
at sea and in other directions, and wrest
from them their gold and silver lining.

Another gentleman whose experience
in the wheat .businees enables him to
furnish intelligent information, was
shown the above notes, and he agreed
fully in the statements, adding that if
we had believed all the discouraging re
ports of two months ago, from the' most
unreliable sources, we should not have,
now, enough wheat for seed. Ho was
glad to know that this was one of the
most prosperous years to the farmer
generally in the history of eastern Ore
gon.
Concerning prices he said it was hope
ful for the farmer. There is a large fleet
of vessels en route for the surnlns:
which, if it could be delivered at Astoria
from The Dalles, would save the pro
ducer ten cents a bushel. The pilotage
question he considered a cloak to hide a
steal. Do away with that and the far

"1 think the late Judge Devens." sard '
Mr. Arthur Macy to me the other ' day.
was tne greatest after dinner speaker I
ever heard, i remember a striking in
stance of bis readiness in jocose retort.
He mtde a five minnto speech at a club
dinner; and in the course of his remarks
he established his claim to his place' at '
the dinner by instancing his authorship -
of a large volume that was made up of
tragedy and comedy and of manv start- -
ling phases some dramatic, some ludi
crous, some pathetic of human life and
nature.
The book was the 143d volume of
Massachusetts laws. Iminediatelv a '
member wm on his fnet and tliauking
tho judge. He had been on a jnry once,
and tho justice who was trying tho case-. .
said tliat a verdict should be. rendered
unhesitatingly in accordance with a de
cision that was coutained in that very
volume of which the judgo had just
spoken. The verdict was rendered im- ;
mediately and ' the juryman secured a '
good night's . rest, for which he was
thankful to Judge Devens and his book.
-."Without a moment's hesitation.
Judge Deveiw replied, If the gentle
man will imitate the example of the jus
tice of whom he speaks, and peruse the--'
entire volume that J have spoken of. I
assure him that he will secure many .a
