Tho Gold Coin mine consists of a group of half a doien claims In the liurnt River district adjoining the Kengan and near tho Gold Hill, now owned by Colonel James A, Panting. The Gold Coin ledge be tween well defined walls. Is 4S to 75 feet wide. Tho property has been de veloped by three or four long tun nels, crosscuts and raises. Mill returns and government assays give values to the ore as high as $600 to the ton. The ore In the upper levels Is free milling, while in the lower levels It carries other metals which may later on make cyanldlng necessary. Being a close corpora tion or partnership concern, it Is dif ficult to get details. Sufficient is known to make it certain that this is destined to be one of the greatest mines Oregon has ever known. Gold is where you find It. TRYII.S ARE OPES. MUs Owned by Pendleton People Sbows MOO Per Too.

Jesse Failing NBAR BRIDGE. Winter Travel in Alaska Is Not So Difficult as Formerly. Captain Hartman, of the signal corps at Valdes, Alaska, has received orders from the commanding officer of the signal corps to make a trip from Fairbanks along the line of the government telegraph, with a view to deciding what Improvements are most needed to put the line In good work ing order. He will start soon and go over the trail with a dog team. About six Inches of snow fell at Valdes last week, and the travel to the Interior has now started. The season has been unusually late this fall and so far only one man, Harry Monroe, has arrived from Fairbanks, but he reports that there were many people waiting at that place for snow, so that they could moke the trip out During the past week the steamship agents have received a number of messages from Fairbanks asking for reesrvations on boats leaving the lat ter part of the month. The govern ment party has started moving sup plies over the trail, working 20 horses. Unlike previous winters, It will make no difference whether the large streams freeze -or not; for the new trails that have been cut do not fol low the rivers, but are over high, dry ground, thus avoiding overflows and open water, and those streams that must he crossed have all been bridged. The government party has con structed- bridges across all of the small streams between Valdes and the canyon, and the bridge put across Robe river by the road commission Is now ready for use. AH streams beyond the summit have been bridged by the government or the Valdes Transportation company. A new overland trail from Gakona to the head of the Delta has been com pleted. This follows the base line sur vey trail for 38 miles and does away with the stretch of river travel which caused bo much delay last winter. DIPLOMACY. A rait Bnalaeu Very Itneh Una tfco Practice at Law. Diplomacy Is a matter of business, though a polite business, hedged a boot by etiquette and forms and adorned wits a few frills. Get behind the lis ferle aud the Ungo aud go to the heart of the thing and you will find it very much like the practice of law. The man with the best case ought to win, and when be dousu't aud the man with the poorer case does win It Is becuuss he is the better man and knows bet ter bow to present his case and bow to handle It. There Is another popu lar uotlon that the American diplomat ic establishment la weak because our representatives abroad couteud with men trained all their lives In the diplo matic school. We nave no permanent diplomatic establishment. Our anv bassiulors ami ministers abroad art picked from law ollices, editorial rooms aud even counting rooms. Usually they have had no previous acquaint ance with diplomatic work. Yet nine times out of ten they are more than a match for the men they bave to deal with abroad. Ilreatlth and Btrength of character, knowledge of human nature and experience gained In the rough and tumble of life count for quite as much as the other fellows' dilettante culture. It Is the Judgment, of the best observers throughout the world that our successful American lawyers and editor easily bold their own against their competitors. Walter Wellmao in Success. HOW BROKERS WORK. AUTOMATIC COMPANY FAJIS. San rYanclsco Itefiwes to Give Tele plione Company Franrhiop. The Pan Francisco Call gives the following account of the failure of the Home Automatic Telephone com pany to secure a franchise In that city: The petition of the New Home Telephone company for a franchise to do business In opposition to the present concern was turned down by the board of supervisors yesterday afternoon and, after a hot discus sion, the question was passed up to the new board, which will assume office on the first of the year. The motion was passed by a vote of 7 to 6 and from first indications it looked as if the board would act on the mat ter and have done before passing out of office. This means practically that the promoters of the concern will have to i.'o through their same old stunts over again and petition the new board ,i franchise. This Is unfortunate t company, at It has had its :f-.-i bofnrp t!- present board for last 'Mx month, but numerous ys Interfered till the matter fi y dragged along with disastrous Jits to the company. Voor DtSercat Kinds of Operators Who Ezecato Orders. Let's see wliat a broker Is exactly. He's the man whose services yon must seek If you wish to buy or sell stocks. Ton can't do a thing In Wall street without that broker. You can't nil your own orders in Wall street any more than yon can Oil your own teeth. The broker is to yon as a speculator what a dentist Is to yon as a man with toothache. Now, operations on the floor of the Stock Exchange are conducted by four groups first, by Individual speculators wbo trade on their own account, and these of course are members of the ex change; second, by brokers wbo lend money for banks; third, by commission bouses which buy and sell bonds and stocks for persons not members of the exchange, and, fourth, by specialists who are also called floor brokers, and oftentimes "dollar brokers" or "two dollar brokers," and wbo execute or ders for commission bouses. In tnm, commission houses are of two kinds those that coudtict one home office and many branch offices connected by pri vate wire, and those that conduct local and mall business. To a broker in one of these classes your order Is given. In executing your orders and those of others the broker's earnings may be any sum from $10 more usually $1(K to thousands day. -Leslie's Weekly. The Spread of Bunking;.

A traveler who has toured Europe wltli bis wife at $4 a day for the two declares that the pensions are tho me of his choop travel.

As soon as the set of teeth la complete, however, a wrinkle begins to appear on the edge of the lower eye lid, and another wrinkle Is added each year, so that to get at the age of a borse more than eight years old you roust count the teeth the wrinkles.

"They" are tho American women, wives of whaling captains, who spend three years out of every four In that region, where tho perpetual blizzard Is tn motion, and where they rise su perior to months and days and weeks. You can Imagine how welcome peo ple aro who are bo scarce as In the friendly little fleet near Point Har row. When you only have three or four women neighbors you are not going to be snippy and new fashioned and refuse to make the time honored greeting that used to prevail In this enlightened land. Instead you are go ing to don your best (fur) dress suit and sealskin hood and go and pay your respects to those ladies. And the respects will not be chilly.

Jar or Jerk In the festivities, and thoy labor with great enthusiasm to convert this lone ly land Into somethlnk akin to a holi day "In town." The women meanwhile have been making their preparations for the oc casion. Tho plum pudding has to be steamed and tho crackers and nuts put Into dishes that will tempt the bashful whalers, and there Is a gen eral air of mysterious concoction that delights and confounds the hun gry men who admiringly survey the scene. They fetch und carry with eagerness dishes and compliments and what not, and before yould say Jack Robinson there is a table set and an array of toastmiuili-rs alongside of It, and "The lailiis, God bless 'cm!" be come sort of . brown clad angels with sealskin halos and a. corner on popu larity. At about 11 a. m. the real day be gins, and then there are such a talk ing and such a feasting and such a belaying there as never were.

Dried fruits and spiced pickles and many Jokes fly about, and there is as much Jollity as you would expect from a blackberry Juice toddy Innocent of Kentucky rye. And then, after the dinner Is over, there Is a session of reminiscence and ease and handmade cigars, and the ladies do fancy work on tho patterns of three years ago and chat with the men about anything but "shop." Whales may come anil whales may go In the meantime, but the chatter goes on forever, or so the men wish It would as they lounge In the lighted cabin and tell stories of home and think of the women who await them there, and then more talk, and later tea URuin, und preserved ginger and Jokes not a hit older than those at home.
