STORY ON TOM M'EWEN.
t'romked li Bring Back a Pair of Elephants
From Philadelphia.
Now tti.it Tom ,U I: writ his allowed
Mimr designing men In Ir.ide on his per
sonal popularity, by putting him up (or
mayor to serve their sellish purposes, a
Kood stoi y 00 th.it K'"' . I l(ii;m Is being re
vlvrd nod told on the cull', to illustrate
Mr. AUIiwen's predominating character
isllr, thai utter Inability ol his to rclu-e
tiny rrquest made ot him. I hi Is the
way the story goes.
I.asl spring a gentleman wanted to buy
a Imisr and, nl course, went to I'om Ac
hwen to make the purihase. I"here was
none In the stables to soil him and 'I om
promptly vnluuteied to gel the animal de
signed especially tor this man. The horse
was over In John Day valley and he
would have him line hi a tew days. In
less than a week the gentleman called at
the stables to enquire it his horse had ar
rived, but was put oil with a plausible ev
tuse (or its 1101iMtriv.1l. I'liis hind ot
business went on lor more than a month.
I'lnally Hie two met on the stteet one day
and AW. AWhueu said: "Well that horse
of yours will be hi some lime tonight. I'm
having eighty head dilen In (mm John
Day, and thought I would wait and biiug
viiiiis In with the lot. lie's a beauty, and
don't you forget it.
NeM morning, bright and earlv, the
gentleman went to the stables and asked
In see his horse. I lie man In charge
didn't undetstand and asked tor an ex
planation. Receiving it, lie remarked:
"Hell, Tom has bought no horses over
theie recently. II yon had wanted an ele
phant, lie would hae promised to get oil
one."
Jusl then AW. Milium came in and the
speaker centinued: "lorn, AW. Blank is
going around getting up a subscription for
a city park. He thinks it we could gel an
elephant for the children to play with, It
would be a pretty Reed Idea."
".Just the thing," rem irked the ever
willing gentleman. "I have been think-
I lug about that very thing. I'm going to
1 Philadelphia this summer and will bring
I back a pair."
On the Eve of Another Boom.
We are apparently at the beginning of
! another boom period. The reaction from
the quiet which has prevailed in business
tor several months was tirst manifested in
Hie speculative markets, u hlcli respond ,
most quickly to current conditions. (Jen-'
1 eral business has followed the lead, how
ever, and all sorts of new constructions
and other projects are coming forward,
while Hie railroads are preparing for a pe-1
riod of heavy trallic. It looks as if a great
deal of money Is going to be put into new ,
enterprises and the enlargement of old j
ones dining the coining year. There is,
as in all such periods, a danger o ton :
much booming, and overdoing the ad-'
vaiue; but that is apparently Inseparable,
from such periods, and cautious business
menu ill make the necessary allowinces '
to provide lor it. I here Is every iudica-1
tion that the mining industry will have Its
full share In the new expansion. A grow
ing disposition to Invest in mining enter
prise has been shown of late, and much of
the surplus capital now looking for invest-
1 ment will probably be put Into mines of (
' various kinds. 1 he manufacturer who
expects to tiirnish machinery and supplies
tor the new mining developments, which
are soon to be in progress, should remem-1
berth it the beginning of a period of e.x- (
pan-Ion is the time to put themselves
ptomlneutly before buyers, and thus se-1
cure their share of Ihe new work. iin-

Woodward on Mill street, continues to
1 merit the name of the popular gentlemen's
resort of Sumpter.
GOOD NEWS FROM SEVEN DEVILS.
Great Activity Reported From the Copper
Camps Over There.
W. D. I.ovejoy, Ihe well kinwii law
yer of Salubrla, is in the city, and brings
good news from the Seven Devils coun
try, where he states there Is unwonted ac
tivity. Ihe company, headed by W. H.
McDougall, of California, who recently
took over the "Creek Joe" properllesabout
a mile below Mallard's Landing, is doing a
great deal of development, both in mining
and building, they now being engaged in
repairing old buildings and putting up
new, and preparing generally for very ex
tensive development work.
Haas brothers, of Welser, owners of
the River Queen mine, are preparing for
sinking this winter. 'I his Is one of the
best properties of the Devils country,
where they have e.xtremely high-grade
ore, and where but little sinking has been
done, though great depth can be found
quickly because of the lay of the country.
They will sink hi a large shoot of very
rich material, in which they have been
drifting tor some months, getting out so
much ore that all the facilities for Moling
it have tern utilized.
At the Iron Dvke they are making large
improvements and the employment of a
much larger force ot men this winter than
ever before. They have not yet begun
the erection of their matting plant, but
this will doubtless be put up early in the
spring, as there Is a large quantity of ore
already extracted and ready for reduction.
Mr. I.ovejoy says there is a good feel
ing throughout that entire seitlou and
that an Important project is on for the fa
mous Heath district, though It could not
be mentioned at that time, because it is
not completely closed up. Statesman.
