James Duckworth, one of the original locators of thu K. and E. mine, in Crackor oreek district, near Kumptor, Oregon, and ono of tho best informed men in tho camp, says that what this country needs is n thorough prospecting by men with now ideas. Tho old timers always look for a certain kind of float, and nro particular about tho formation. Now hardly a wook passes without sonio find being inado on hill sides that iiavo beon run over for years by tho old timers mid pronounced worthless. Mr. Duckworth visltod a property at tho foot of the mountain on tho Sump-tcr-Grauito wagon road, and found Don Ycager and his partner, Montana min ing men, working on a 200-foot lodge that ho has boonovor ninny tinioH and considered worthless. Development shows that tho ledgo is filled with strata of quartz of a bluish appearance, and all of it pans gold. A number of assays have been made, giving $!i to $13. Tho ledgo can be tracod for over two miles, from ono cido of tho moun tain to tho other, and it prospects throughout. At prcsont a 25-foot shaft is being sunk, from which a cross out will bo run to dotermino if tho values go down. If favorablo results shall bo obtainod, machinery will bo secured and n shaft sunk noO to -100 feot. Thcro is such a large body of oro that, with present values, $11 to $4 per ton, tho proporty is another Treadwell. Facilities for mining and milling are excellent. At tho head oi Dull Hun creek, running alongside of this Jdgo, in early days there was placor mining. There was little wash gravol In the creek bed, and thu diggings frequently dipped to tho hillside, where no gravol was found, hut rich dirt. At that time it was wondered where tho gold rnino, from, and no one ever thotight tho big dlko was guilty, hut this rocoiit discovery is almost proof positive that tho placer gold came from tho dlko.

ADY MAUQAIIBT SACKVILLB says In a recent number of tho Ilumanltnrlati that the question of education Is an Importnnt subject Jn Judging the Intellectual capacity of woman, and that until lately education has played a comparatively small part hi woman's life. Her function was to be beautiful, and education was useful only so far as It added to her power of attraction. "Itroathlng such an atmosphere of narrowness and Insipidity, what moro natural than that she should have be come narrow and insipid r" nsKs me writer. "Noble work could spring only from overmastering genius In such lim itations. Woman has been discouraged from mental growth by the opposition of men, ami even of women to a great degree. "Now- that she Is awaking to a newer, broader life, treated more us an Indi vidual and less as a mere fraction of sex. Will not tho chains which have bound her o long leave n numbing ef fect on her limbs? If a sluvo and n free man run a race, It Is necessary to unload the slave of all his bonds before it can be said which Is the better ruti nor. "Woman has been no less the slave of man than of convention. Her phy sical weakness (also greatly due to cir cumstances) gave rise to the Idea of corresponding mental Inferiority. This creed she was brought up to accept, nml did accept with the Inevltablo re sult. Yet men ami women, starting on mich totally different levels, are com pared :is though ImiIIi had enjoyed the siinic advantages of circumstances and education. "It Is only when, years hence, woman shall enjoy the same fundamental free dom as man, when her capacity or In capacity for a profession shall be tested by experience, Instead of convention, that anything like a Just comparison can bo Instituted between tho Intel lectual capacity of the sexes."

Touch Your OlrU to Mend. Every girl, In whatover stutlon of llfo she may bo placed, should be brought up to mend her own clothes and do a certain share of u youuger sister's or hi other's, or somotldug for her parents, says tho Cleveland Plain Dealer. Even where people uro rich enough to keep ladj's maids it does not follow that their children will be able to do so to, the end of their lives, und many a girl has married and goue out with good prospects to some country or colony where no one can bo got to perforin these little services for either love or money, and If not aide to do them for herself she bus been iu a very poor plight. lluiup of Neatitean. Neatuess Is ouo of the most attractive of feminine qualifications to a man. It It also onu of the rarest. Early and persistent must be the tralulng which carries a girl Into womanhood with her "bump of neatness" well developed. L'uless inhereutly fastidious during bchool days, sho Is liable to drift luto careless habits which she never out grows, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. One girl may have a trick of leaving shoes about her room. As a mere tot she was permitted to do this, aud as she grew .older the untidy custom was never abandoned, for the simple reason 1 K- W I that she herself did not notice anything unusual about It, and probably nobody else felt at liberty to correct her. An other young woman, particular to prim ness In other directions has a slovenly iiami on leaving comumgs in ner nair comb. There is a necessity of constant vigilance on n wonian's part unless sho would bo Judged unworthy her birth rightdaintiness. KlicM Itntlicr He mi American.

PASSING OF GAS LIGHTERS. Xacreaalns Use of Electric Laatpa la Leaving Them Without 'Work. They are getting after the nlmbla young man who trots around the streets In the gloaming with n torch on the end of along pole, touching oil tho gas lumps one by one and leaving a trail of more or less light after him, says tho Chicago Ctironlcle. The Irrcsistlbiu march of science and progress and the other things which aro making changes In the world is sweeping tho lump-lighter out or tlfe way. In 1887, before there were any munlc-. Ipul electric street lights In service In Chicago, about 400 young men, old meu and barefoot boys trudged nightly; through alt the city streets lighting thr gas lamps. In the chill dawn theyimadu) the rounds again, putting out the lights: Now a handful of employes In thft electrical department of the city throw a few switches In the electrlG light sta tlous every evening and Instantly 3,500 electric arc lights spring to life ulonjj the streets which the boys formerly paced so laboriously, and In the morn Ing the switches are thrown back onefl more and the lights die out. It Is nil dune by a simple turn of the wrist. Hut the lamp-lighter has not been en tirely superseded as yet, notwIthstaniU ing City Electrician Ellicott's anxiety to extend the electric lighting system until It Includes the entire city, which Is to be done as soon as machinery can be Installed to use the water power of the drainage channel at I.ockport. There nro still thout 18,500 gas lamps In nightly operation, and, as each light er cares for nn average of 100 of these, there are still nearly 200 lighters iuuk Ing their rounds nightly. "gg5sBBttlPX3B yililll iHTTniTu oWbS I.AMI'MnitTKR AT WOIIK. Just how many boys and men aro cm ployed it Is dltllcult to learn accurately. They all work for the gas company, as the city pays $20 a year for each gas lamp and tho company "tnalntalus" it that is, pays for lighting, extinguish ing, cleaning aud repairs. Hut wlillo tho company allots an ov erage of 100 lamps to each lighter, and pays a fixed rate per lamp for their maintenance, tho lighters sub-let tho contracts lu somo cases, hiring little lads for almost nothing to do part of tho work, of which, of course, tho com pany has iio record. Soinfc old men who, for many jrears, havo been employed as lump-llgtitcrs, swear their sons Into tho service ami mako a family affair of It. Therefore, It Is probable that more than 200 peo ple nro employed to care for the 18,500 gas lamps which are still In service. Although tho electric lighting sys tem of Chicago was Inaugurated only thirteen years ago and has grown slow ly, few people realize that tho city has the largest muulclpal street lighting system In the world, Including 3,502 arc lamps, each of 2,000 caudle power. Iu addition to tho gas lamps, there areupproxlmately 10,000 gasoline lamps In servlco In outlying districts not touched by the mains of the gas com panies, and these are rented by the city from private corporations. These, too, aro being displaced gradually by the extension' of the electric lighting sys tem. Old Not Want the Homo. WUIIo Woodard tells tho following story at tho expeuso of ono of tho now well-known turfmen of tho Middle West racing circuit: "A few years ago," said Willie, "our friend came down from Central Kentucky with a few home-bred horses to tho Louisville track Ills first starter was put in a selling race, which ho won. After tho race was run the horse was led up la front of the stand. The track auc tioneer went through tho routine with $300 the owner's bid Tho trainer and owner rushed tip excitedly and yelled: Ilere, hold on. I didn't bid on that "boss." Just give me the purso and keep the horse, 'cause I don't want him about the barn." Servants In China.
