Ventare on Reo- ord. As a rule, there is little of senti mental romance connected with the mining industry, says Austin E. Ben son, In the Denver VosL Fo.r the most part it moans the risking aad lnvet .ncnt of a great Ural of good, solid cash, the employment of mach hard lnhor. anxious thought and time, a' most endless rlnnnii and scheming. and in many cases the end sadly Jus tifies the outtHV. Thousands of "holei in the ground," n'iles and miles of abandoned tuimels and underground workf stand tndty as memories of blasted hops and of humanity's over powering amliition to itet rich caick. Notwithstanding, however, the gi'ti eral prosaic nature of mining opera tions. there onoe in a'wnile is come UDon instance -where -the romantic takes the center of the stage and plays a most Important part In the development of mining propertlt-s, and when it does, the narrative of the circumstances becomes of the mort Interesting character and the recital reads like some story from -the Ara bian Nights. . Advised by -"Medium." Away back In the -early seventies, the Er.nls brothers, Edward and John, both of whom were strongly Inclined toward the spiritualistic belief. In New Tork city, sought -to peer Into the future and ascertain -what It had in store for them. Pursuing the gen erally accepted course in uch mat ters the brothers consulted a female medium in Gotham, and afirr assur ing her of their wlllingrwss to "pay the price" for the desired Information, the lady proceeded to bring herself into the "trance" state and tell things to the brothers which ordinary mor tals are not supposed to find oat. a; least while in the flesh. Among other things the "medium" did was to place her finger at a cer tain snot upon a map of the United States od declare that In that exact locality existed a lake of gold which had been especially reserved for the Er.nls family and which could be reached and its fabulous woalth en Joyed by merely following her direc tions to the letter. This the brothers promised to do, and after generously reimbursing their benefactress for the wear and tear of mind and spirit they started west with a carefully marked map to guide them. Landed in San Juan. Their directions landed them In San Juan county, Colo., and soon they dis covered the exact spot Indicated by the spirits, and high up on King Solo mon mountain, about seven miles north of Sllverton, they set their stakes and christened their prospect ive bonanza the Highland Vary. The Ennlses were the possessors of ample capital and the work of min ing for the underground golden lake was begun on a most elaborate scale. A mansion, at a cost of $10,000, was built near the portals of the tunnel and the building was palatlally fur- I nlshed Prodigally conducted at j great cost. As the tuhn-l proceeded on Into the lake of ifold ahead maps and dia grams of Its course were made. Finally the miners became so thor oughly Imbued with the "spirit" Idea that none of them could be Induced to work alone in the mine. Strange noises and whisperings were reported from various parts of the property and men met with accidents from time to time, all of which was attrib uted to "spirits." Toward the latter part of the Ennls brothers' career It became extremely difficult to obtain miners to work on the property at all. Good Veins Cut. During the driving of the tunnel of nearly a mile In length several j good veins of mineral were cut and ore extracted and shipped on burro ! trains 200 miles distant to Del Norte for resting purposes and paid fair profits In silver, lead and copper, hut i It was yellow gold that was being sought. The decline In silver, how- ever, resulted In the closing down ofjg the property and little was done with It until two or three years ago. Over $1,000,000 was spent on the property before It was abandoned. The mine is now owned and oper ated by the Gold Tunnel & Railway company, the management of which, on a system other than "spiritualistic." are pushing development In a practi cal, buslne3s-like manner, and. while they do not expect to encounter the fabled gold lake, their efforts, before the wane of the present season, prom ise well to be crowned with success, and it is almost assured that the High land Mary will soon stand In the front rank of the larger -class of San Juan county producers, and today the mln Is one of the most promising In the San Juan district.

David Beck, the celebrated portrait painter and pupil of Vandyke, while traveling through Germany was sud denly (taken 111 and to all appearances died and was laid out a .corpse. His Ben-am?, sitting round the bed, grieved heartily, for the loss of so good a mas ter, and as grief Is thirsty .drank as heartily t the same time. One of them, becoming: more befuddled than. the rest, then addressed his companions thus: "Our master when alive was .fond of his glass. Let us out of gratitude, then, give .him one now be Is .dead." Assent was given; the head of the dead painter was rralsed up and some -wine poured dowa ,or spilled about, the fra grance or spirit of which caused Beck to open his eyes, upon which the serv ant, who, being. drunk, half forgetting bis master was .dead, forced down the remainder of the glass. The painter gradually revived .and thus escaped a living (interment Tne Riulia Kawal Standard. The Russian naval .standard a blue flag with a white cross was adopted fey Peter he Great, -who stayed for erne months at Gaardam, near Am sterdam, working as a mechanic to Sain a knowledge of shipbuilding. During this time he took a strong fancy to a clever workman named Crnys, whom he persuaded to return with hlin to Russia after he had reveal ad to him his true name and position. Cmya drew the plans for the first hips built for the Eusslan navy, and, to show bis appreciation, Peter the Great made him an admiral and gave orders that the Russian navy should thenceforth have a special flag with a white cross upon It to perpetuate the memory of his trusted associate, Cruys being an old form of the Dutch word for cross. Tne Bora Dance. Among the quaint old customs and ceremonies still kept alive In English country districts there Is only one "horn dance," god that Is to be found at Ab bots Bromley, Jn Staffordshire. Every year at the vlUn wake the dance Is still carried out Jh origin of the born dance Is lost In the' mists of history, but It has been traced b0cfc is far as the eleventh centUry". ttitH ul3 STcjitsentb qsnfurv, it was practiced at CMsfffius', on New Tear's day and on Twelfth day. In the time of Henry VIII. the dance was performed in front of the church every Sunday and a col lection for the poor taken up from the spectators. What Constitutes an Asaanlt.

Washington Post. The Simple Life Expensive. And, really, the simple life la fright fully expensive. Ax a recent entertain ment in this city a great luxury In the serving of tbe second supper was the introduction of country sausage and .buckwheat cakes with maple sirup. But the sausage came from the farm of the host and represented a small fortune., as tbe pigs from which the piece de re sistance was made were blooded ani mals with pedigrees. The buckwheat was grown In special fields which cost ever so much a foot, fend the maple str op was taken from trees in the most expensive Adirondack preserve. And thus can thousands of dollars be spent on the simple life, while truffles, pate, terrapin and such other rarebits of a former generation are left for the ta bles of the middle classes with modern te means. Town snd Country. Picture la DlJaraie. Many and strange have been the vi cissitudes of some of tbe world's great est pictures, and a fine painting which now graces Lord Leigh's residence in Warwickshire has an interesting his tory. This remarkable picture, which for some years consisted of a painting of flowers, was pronounced- by an art dealer to bo merely a mask for some other picture, and on his receiving per mission he gradually cleaned off the flowers, discovering underneath a very fine portrait of Charles I., by Vandyke. It is supposed that the portrait was thus disguised in order to save It from destruction by the Roundheads at tbe time of the commonwealth. Where We Are Cnelenn.

NEED FOR PORTAGE PLENTY OP BUSINESS TO KEEP BOAT LINES BUSY. Washing-ton .Man Speaka of the Con ditions Along Uie Columbia River Farmers Cannot Haul Wheat to Railroad on Account of Heavy Fer riage Charge on the Rlvei One Man Taxed $600 for Ferrying; 15,. 000 Sacks of Wheat Over the River. fhere Is plenty of freight to be had on the upper Columbia river to keep a Hue of steamers running regularly between Lewiston and the portage road, and I do not understand why some enterprising company does not go after it. The objection appears to be that there are no boats available for the route. Why are they not built? lit would be possible to build a couple .of steamers at Riparia or some other point up there and have them ready for service by August 1." So declared G. H. Martin to the Journal. He has been farming on the Washington side of the river near Wallula for many years and now that the portage road is completed he is anxious to see It used, believing It would be the means of saving the wheatgrowers und others up that way thousands of dollars annually If water transportation were at hand. Great quantities of grain are shipped to Portlnnd every year from the terri tory lying north of the river and op posite Umatilla. "But we are greatly handicapped," continued Mr. Martin, "when we are forced to ship by rail. It is neces- sury to have our crops transported by ferry at Wallula In order to reach the railroad. This charge Is 50 cents a ton. As an example of what this little ferry amounts to, I might cite an example: It cost one of my neigh bors ($00 to get 15,000 sacks of wheat across tin river so that he could place ttie shipment on cars. "If boats were In commission, on tne upptr river, it would do away with the necessity of hauling all of the grain to Wallula It could be taken to various landings which would he established along the north bank of the river. With that plan in operation it would be an easy mut ter to get our wheat to the boats, as there Is a natural down grade from the farm lands to the Columbia. "But when the freight has to be all hauled to one point, as Is now neces sary, we have to drive up steep hills and cross deep canyons before Wal lula Is reached. On the other hand, to go direct to the river we would be going down grade and It would be possible for us to put on our wagons all of the grain they would carry. So (hat Is another Important Item of expense that would be saved." WALLA WALLA'S POPULATION. School Census Gives 3515 School Chil dren, Increase of H2 In One Year. Yesterday Grant S.
