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. Do the
right thing, but do it rightly, courte
ously, sympathetically. S. S. Times.

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF
THE SLATE CREEK MINES
Eureka Group Sold to C. D. Lane of
California.
" Seattle, June 14. 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.

Spokane, June 14. A contract has
been let for sinking 100-foot shaft on
the Rebecca and running 125 feet of
tnnnei on the Rebecca extension.
These claims are owned by Spoakne
and Cheney parties. About 600 tons

river, about 16 miles from Keller,
Wash.
Mew Idaho Mining- District.
Grangeville, Idaho, June 14. A new
mining district has been organized
across Salmon river from this place,
called the Crooks Corrall district. The
boundaries of the new district are as
follows: Commencing at the head of
Race creek, hence to Enake river,
thence to the summit of the divide at
the Larry Ott saddle (between Snake
and Salmon rivers), thence along the
divide to place of beginning.

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

claims already under an advanced

which give promise of being no less
valuable than the Greenback or Brown
ing reins.
. One of these ledges i seven feet

vein is about 18 inohes wide. Consid
erable money has been taken from this
ledge with an arastar.

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.
Surplus visible wheat supplies ar
deoieasing rapidly, lending interest to
current unfavorable crop reiwrtB.

NO MORE THE GRAND MANNER.
There Are No Lonaer Gentlemen o
Dignity ana Brooding;.
The "grnd manner" ha gone from
tbe world and the world eem llttU
put' out at It departure. Tim was
when It was a token at one of breed
ing and education. Scholarship un
adorned with, It was held up to naked
corn as naked pedantry; manner with
no touch of the grand air could not
pass muster In polite circles; literature
aw In It the sum and substance of It
being. It did duty for a whole lexicon
of qualities, but It outwrd aspect
wa unmistakable, depending upon a
very simple theory of society and bu
ms n life, if men are to wear honor
and successes lightly, the background
of ease will come Into prominence, and
they will study to amuse. And so cam
that social finesse which our great
grandmother adored, those bowing
and imlrklngs which their grandchil
dren geoffed at, and the whole pleasing
science or the beau inonde. ,
The tenr of sensibility may be drop,
ped over Its tomb, but there can be rio
question of Its revival. The most It
admirers can do Is to write the history
or it noruit. it belonged to an age
when wealth, leisure, culture ami ail
the good things of life were confined
to a cinas, and it drooped and with
ered at the advent of democracy. Our
modern erlousncs and our modern
businesslike air killed It. and th
chose the cruelcst of weapons. It might
nave survived frank opposition: It
could not endure being made to look
ridiculous.
But with the rubbish went much thnt
was admirable. At Its best this era ml
manner meant an exuberant vitality, a
Kfiunue zest ror lire. Its exponents
might fall, but they failed tallanH.
It all worked out to a kind of Intense.
seir respect. which might be ludlcrou.
uut was rarely ignoble.
Most great men have been mnnv aM
ed, but with the aentleilien nt th.
grand air It wag a social duty, and al!
traces or tne process must be blddc
from sight.
Disraeli was almost the lust of th
grand, manner" disciple, and the
abuse of hlin which wag current for go
long shows how people had come to re-
Kara me arrcctation. For an affecta
tion It was. though a charmlno snri
sometimes a noble one. Versatility can
never oe aooimiien. but a pretense of
ease and Insouciance and parade of
aivers accomplishments my easily be
discredited. The splendid Impassive
neas of the great gentleman baa uc-
cuniDca to modern worry and haste,
and for the most Dart wa frank! con
fesa that dignity Is a nuisance and an
