Leaving No Sting-. Our manner of doing a thing often counts for more than the thing itself. Some people have the gift of doing a grations things nngratiously. They seem to think it of small moment how they act, if they do the right tiling. Their gifts are felt like a blow. Oth ers refuse with a kindness that falls like a balm. The Italian who is asked for alms, unable to help, replies: "Pardon me, I also am a poor devil." That leaves no hurt, while the open hand of some others inflicts a sting, "God cares more for adverbs than for verbs." savs an old writer.

Hon. W. V. Sullivan, V. 8. Senator from Mis sissippi. ' Hon. W. V. Sullivan, United States senator from Mississippi, in a letter re cently written to Dr. Hartmsn from Oxford, Alibs., says the following: "For some time I have been a sufferer from catarrh in its most incipient stage, so much so that I became alarm ed as to my general health. But, hear ing of Pe-ru-na as a good remedy, I gave it a fair trial and soon began to improve. Its effects were distinctly beneficial, removing ' the annoying symptoms, and was particnlaily good as a tonic.

News oomes from Anaooites thaj work will be resumed on a large scale on the Eureka group of mines in the Slate Creek mining camp, which now belong to C. D. Lane, a millionaire mining operator of Califor nia. The final transfer to Mr. Lane was effected in Anacortes a few days ago. This is the property that some years ago was under bond to Colonel Hart for Montana parties. After spend ing upward of $50,000 they allowed ther bond to lapse, but the owners, having faith in ther property, continued working it until about two years ago, when a bond was made to Mr. Lane. Almost Beady for Operation. The property is nearly ready for oper ation. The tramway between the mine ana tne stamp mill must m nmsnea The mill has 10 stamps of 1.100 pounds each and is substantially constructed, The property has a saw and shingle mill and electrio light plant, . The. stamp mill was completed last fall and found to work perfectly. , It is the intention to put in a roast ing furnace as soon as supplies can be shipped in this summer, to treat all ores on the ground, instead of shipping concentrates. People who know the property, say that it will develop into a big mine. TWO REPUBLIC MINES. Aetlve Work oa the Qullp and oa the Kaob Hill. Republic, June 14. Work is ao- tive on the (juilp mine.

THE MINING WORLD THE ROSSLAND DISTRICT New Owners of the Giant Take Hold of the Property. Bossland, B. C, June 14. The water is toing taken out of the Grant shaft in preparation for the resumption of sinking on the ore body. This work is being done by A. D. Coplen and w. U. Armstrong, of Spokane, the representatives of Philadelphia an Michigan capitalists, who have ob tained control ot the company. The new owners express confidence that the Giant will make a mine, atd are willing to spend money to proving it, They are the third party to make the at tempt, the last being Colonel W. M Ridpath, E. G. Sanders and others ot the old Le Rot syndicate, from Spo kane, but they threw up their oond last April. ' Other Canadian Mines. Work is to be started on the N uth- ern Belle, which adjoins the St. Elmo, i on Bed mountain, by R. E. Palmer, ; who has just returned from Montreal, where he received instructions from the owners. There is a good showing and if the summer's work confirms its value a plant will be installed in the fall Andrew Drewey and others have bonded the Sunset, near Whitewater, in the Siocan, for $30,000. It adjoins the Wellington and a short extension of the tunnel from that claim will tap the vein at a dejpth of 600 feet. The vien is 13 feet in width, with 10 inohes of high grade ore.

Two Mew Ledges Opened. The placer district in Bout hern Ore gon is showing up some very fine prop- jerties. In addition to the valuable claims already under an advanced state of development in the district and which have been proved to be high grade and permanent, Paul Scharing son is prospecting two new discoveries which give promise of being no less valuable than the Greenback or Brown ing reins. . One of these ledges i seven feet wide, and though the ore is not high grade a - far as prospecting has yet shown, still it is sufficiently mineral ised for a milling proposition. There is 350 feet of tunneling and a 70-foot shaft on the other ledge. This vein is about 18 inohes wide. Consid erable money has been taken from this ledge with an arastar. Outlook Is Bright. A correspondent at Geiser, Or., writ ing to the Baker City Democrat, says the mines of the Empire Mining Com pany are looking fine and the company is planning for the erection of a mill. The White Elephant owners are go ing to bnild very soon. The Bonanza mine ha plenty of good ore for its 40-stamp mill. A $312 nugget was picked np in the placer of ' Austin, McMadre St Co., at Winteiville, near here, the other day. The owners of these claims expect to clean np $25,000. They are working a fall crew on the Black Bird and pushing development as fast as possible.

The promoters of the Pierce county, Wash., fruit fair have decided to ex tend its scope and inivte the entire state to participate. An electrio plant to cost between $150,000 and $200,000 will be erected at the Nisqnnlly Falls, near Elbe, 22 miles southeast of Tacoma, pro-iding the latter city will make a contract for lighting. The rate proposed is 20 per cent lower than the present contract price. WttKLY TRADE REVIEW. Wholesale Business of a Modest Chat aetor Carols Are Higher.. Bradstreet' aj: Nw business at wholesale is of a between stations char acter, but warmer weather has offered stimulus to retail business in soni lections. ' Chief activity and moat at Wntion is, however, still concentrated on the price situation, and effort to readjust quotations to meet current de mand and snpply condition go forward steadily. The exception to the general downward trend of prices is that fur nished by leading farm products, nota bly cereals, but here the moving cause ia hardly so favorable, being the result ot less satisfactory crop reports, par ticularly from the Northwest, and it i to be noted that advices from the Northwest, where the winter wheat yield promise to be very short, are also less favorable. Corn crop advice remain favorable, as likewise do those of oats, but the grain and hog products have sympa thised in the upward movement ot wheat, which has at last broken from its lethargy and is again attracting speculative attention. Foreign wop advices, it might be added, are not flat tering. The German rye crop promise to be very short; the same report oomes regarding French wheat and En glish crop advices are not of the best. , Cotton is slightly weaker. Leather is dull ami rates weak. Wool is doll and on the whole slightly weaker at Eastern markets, Mills engaged on women's wear-good are fairly well employed. The outlook favors lower prices (or the new Spring weights.
