NEWS OF THE MINES. EXTENSIVE ORE BODY. Flynn Croup of Claim Near Wallace to Km Worked again. Wallace, Idaho, Angust 27. The Flynn group of claims are to be worked it once The Flynn group consists of 22 claims, located in 1887 by the Flynn brothers. The claims are all on the bin lead, which is clearly defined from the Helena-Frisco mine on the Canyon creek side to the Morning mine, and have a continuous lead of over two miles in length. Fourteen of the ilaims have been patented for several greats and the other eight are to be pat ented this fall, and aftei the survey him lieen made Montana parties of unlimited ;apital will take the entire property on i bond and at once commence system a'u; development upon it. In the minds of mining men there has never existed much doubt as "to the Flynn croup. It could hardly be pos iihle that a break wonld occur in the mineral lead on which the claims are located, and at either end of which tuch bonanza ore bodies as the Helena Frisco and the Morning mines have npeuad. The Flynn group has two miles of this same lead, between these two big producers, and surely covers one of the greatest and most extensive ore bodies in the Northwest. A lot of work has been done on the property in the year since the claims have been located, but being a deep miuu proposition, the owners have been suable to develop it into a producer. Last year a tunnel was run to tap the lead below the mounter iron capping of the summit. This iron knoll is an elevation of fully 5,000 feet and covers an era almost as large as Wallace. Altogether over 0,000 feet of tunnel has been run on the various claims, and the ininorali.Htion has been good in all of it. None of this tunnel worked was lufllciently extensive, however, to ex plore the ore bodies. On the iron-Silver claim the lead was tapped with a tunnel of 404 feet. The face of the tunnel was quite freely mineralized for h greater part of the distance. From the point where the tmimd cut the lead a drift of 110 feet was run, all show ing considerable ore. The ledge is about 30 foot wide, and the walls are in place and solid. A tunnel from the Canyon creek side in the vicinity of the Frisco would cut the lead on the Flynn group at a depth of nearly 8,000 feet, and it has long been contended by practical mining men that this is the most advantageous point from which to open up tha prop erly. , LOOKING FOR IDAHO COAL. Would be a lllg Thing for the Kullroail and fur LewUton. The discovery of immense coal de posits near Lewistou Idaho, will it is believed, have great influence in the fu ture railroad construction in that sec tion. The deposits are located about 13 miles from the mouth of the Grand Ronde river, and if the results of de velopment meet the elaborate indica tions, they promise to exert a material influence on the railroad situation iu the Snake river country, gays the Lew istou Tribune. The 0. R. & N. Co., it is eaid, Is anxiously investigating coal prospreuts in the basins of the Co lumbia and Snake rivers with the hope of providing and adequate supply of coal for its systom and if such i) the case the discovery of a good quality in sufficient quantity on the Grand lionde would be a most welcome devel opment to that road. ' OREGONCOAL FIELDS. The Oeologlcal Survey rublUhei a Late lleport ou Them. , Washington, August 27. The coal fields of Oregon are thus summarized by the latest report of the geological survey: The coal fluids of Oregon, so far ns yet known, all lie west of the Cascade ninge and north of Rogue river, Most of them are among the monntuins gen erally known in Oregon as the Coast raiige, but others occur at the western foot of the Cascade range. Four fields will be uotioed the upper Nehalem coal lipid, in Columbia county; the lower Nehalem coul fields, in Clatsop couuty; the Yaquina ooal Holds, in Lincoln county and the Coos Bay ooal fields, in Coos county. Traces of coal have been fond In many other parts of the state. The greatest hindrance to the development of the Oregon ooal fields is the lack of transportation. Work I'rogremlng on the Klinberley. Tho tunnel on the Kimberley, in the Kamloops, B. C, district, is iu 827 feet. Last week a vein was struck ou the top of the tunnel, at a pitch of 45 degrees. Hunches ot very good ore have beou encountered, of ohaloopyritea and black oxides. The present vein matter is very much decomposed, but so far con siderably exceeds in value anything hitherto taken from the tunnel. This finishes the contract for the 100 feet ot driving. Work is still in pi-ogress, aud will be prosecuted steadily. Riiud to Blue Klver Mine. Crews of men and teams have gone from Drowusvillo, Oiegon, to build the wagon road from that plaoe to the Hlue river jnines. Relays of men will bo at work until the road is completed to the mountains. Copper III Uulou County. The copper fields in the eastern part of Union county, Oregon, are likely to become valuable property. Property twins worked by the North American Mining Company shows ore bearing gray copper in good quantities. Re ports say that a great body of copper ore exists in this section. Thirty Thousand a Mouth. The Greenback mine, in Josephine conutv, Oregon, pays its owners $30, 000 a mouth in dividends. t.ood Idaho Mine Being Developed, The K,kndike mine, lu the Pierce City diriet, Idaho is beiua developed by rrunels, and about 20,000 tons of ore have been blocked out. It will as say about $8 per ton. Fifteen men are working on the new site for the mill which will be put up at once. This mine is owned by the Oro Fiuo Mining Company. Coal and Petroleum. Several Astoria men have formed a syndicate to develop coal lands near , that place. Petroleum is also expect- J ad to develop on this property, i QUARTZ IN ALASKA. Atlln District Claims Lots of the Free Milling Variety. Seattle', August 27. H. C. Diers. of Skagway, says that an average of 20 filings on quartz are made in the Atlin recorder's office daily. The general success in placer mining and quartz locations i the camp this season, the feeling prevails in Atlin that the future of the dihtrict as a good permanent pro ducer is assured. Monroe mountain is producing rich free milling quartz, now being worked at Atlin. The mountain is eight miles from Atlin, unl not far from discovery on l'ine creek. The quartz is being taken to the stamp mills of Lord Ham ilton and crushed. It yields from $20 to $i0 a ton. The Anaconda property is not now being worked, and the mills which weie set up there are engaged iu doing custom work of the Monroe mountain ore. A telluride proposition is being opened a quarter of a mile from Atlin which promises well. It has a six foot vein. The nickel property at the south end of Atlin lake is a very extensive body. The percentage of nickel carried has not been ascertained. The statement that it whs 40 per cent is not true. No nickel runs that high. LOOKING TO RED MOUNTAIN Oold-StiKlded Rock Obtained In Gold Itaslu Ledge. Seattle, August 27 Good tidings of the rapid advance of mining operations in the Mount Baker gold fields were taken to Whatcom by II. G. Anderson, who arrived fiom Red Mountain, via Chilliwack and Vancouver, ii. C. Mr. Anderson was one of the discoverers of the Anderson-Schriuisher gold ledge on Red mountain. In the lilade he says the prospects of the leading ledges in that district are most encouraging, and owners are pushing development work rapidly. Work on the Post-Lambert ledges has been suspended for a few days, u waiting the arrival of engines and fans with which to drive away the smoke which arises from constant blast ing in the tunnel. All miners who have visited the property say that it is very rich. The Gold Rasin ledga on Red nionu tain, in which Charles D. Lnne, of San Francisco, and J. O. Carlisle are inter en ted, is said to be a veritable bonanza to the owners. Mr. Anderson met Mr, Carlisle at Chilliwack and that gentle' man told him that assays made from ore taken from the Gold Basin ledge run as high as $30,000 per ton. The gold can be seen with tho naked eye and stands out iu beads on the quartz It is similar to tho quaitz found in the Lone Jack ledge, owned by English & Sou. It appears that the location of the international boundary line is in ques tion, and fears are entertained that Hod mountain and other mountains in that vicinity may possibly be in Brit it-li Columbia. According to Held notes of Provincial Surveyor Dean, the line is supposed to cross at Box canyon at the confluence of East and West Silicia creeks. Onneis of claims at Red mountain have taken out mining licenses in British Columbia and are also making filings at New Westmin ster in order to bold their claims in case they find that their claims lie in British Columbia. The Red Mountain Gold Mining Company has a large force of men at work driving a tunnel in to tap its ledges. Cabins are being built for winter quarters. ENOUGH ORE FOR TEN YEARS. The Monto Crlsto Company Will Soon Kinploy Store Men. Monte Cristo, WaHh., August 27. The Monte Critso Mining Company has about 00 men on the pay roll. The concentrator is using only one side of the mill, handling 70 tons every 24 hours. Some repairs are being made c id when done the mill will inn Its full capacity of 800 tons per day. Tht dynamo will start up in a few days, thon the Burleigh drills will be at work. As soon as a raise is finished, so there will be more air and room, the force will be increased to 200 or 250 men. It is claimed that the Monte Crinsto Mining Company has enough ore iu sight to keep the mines working for 10 years. A surveying party is at work ou a lino to bring more water to the mill. Dlvldeud-raylng Mines. The following is a partial list of the diviiend-paviug mines of British Co lumbia: Camp McKinley paid up to June, 1890, $312,004; the Fern, up to June, 1898, $10,000; the Hall Mines, Limited, up to May, 1899, $120,000; the Idaho, up to January, 1899, $292, 000; the Last Cbauce, up to April, 1899, $15,000; the Le Roi. up to No vember, 1899, $1,305,000; the Queen Besi, up to July, 1899, $25,000; the Rambler-Cariboo, up to December, 1890, $00,000; the Reco, up to Janu ary, 1898, $297,500, the War Eagle Consolidated, up to rebruary, 1900, $545,350; the Yuilr, up to November, 1899, $30,000. Ituahing to Dawnon, Navigation on the Yukon rivei closes early in October aud there is a rush of freight to the Dawson country, Quarts Strike Near Detroit. Four quarts claims have been located near Detroit, Oregon, during the week, aud the hills are being hunted for loca tions. Oldest Miner. . Douglas county, Oregon, claims the oldest miner, William Kerr, who is 99 and works every day. Klondike Gold. Theyielu of gold in the Klondike country this year is estimated at $16, 000,000. Wold Output This Tear. Director of the Mint George E. Rob erts, estimates the world's gold output this year at $300,000,000. Permanent Gold Veins, Mining experts said in the Portland Telegram, August 22, that they be lieved the gold veins in Eastern Oregon are permanent and of good deuth. NO BACKWARD MOVEMENT. The Trade Situation Satisfactory, Con sidering Season. R. (i. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The sky is not cloudless; but there has Deen no backward, movement of business this week. The chief draw back of the week has been the intense heat in some sections of the West, which was more efficient in retarding business thou the lower temperature East, which is stimulating it. Crop advices continue as cheerful as at any time lately, and the labor titu atiou thows no important changes in working forces. Prices are steady, but there is . talk of a decline, perhaps $10 per ton, in, steel rails shortly, to a basis at which it is believed the railroads will be willing to place orders for the ensuing Jems' supplies. More good news comes from the great iron centers, where bridge and boatbnilders and makers of agricultural implements, stoves and cast iron pipe are all eager to secure finished or partially finished material. Prices are sustained, and in a few cases move upward. Iron, generally, is already a solid and better balanced market than for two months past. Another sharp decline has taken place in the price of tin, but copper is firm. Wheat declined still further, tooth ing the lowest price since early in June. Corn is steady, but a drop last week makes the intent price only four cents above that of 1809. Factories are still working only part time in the Eastern boot and shoe dis tricts, aud it is evident that eariler es timates of accumulated stocks were much to small. There is more activity in the hide market and prices are sustained by strong foieign quotations, activity in Chicago by California tanners, and fa vorable purchases of harness.

Millerand, Minister of the Interior of France, has established a chair of labor In the national art and trade school In Purls. The colliery owners In Lancashire, Eughiud, do not like the eight-hour day, but the miners are solidly organized and the system seems to work well for all concerned. The Sunday closing movement, which has been pushed with much success In the grocery and meat maxket lines In Chicago, has spread to other branches with equally good results. According to statistics recently com piled the United States last year was the greatest producer of coal, salt, Iron, copper, silver and lead In the world, and w as also a leader In the production of many of the less Important metals. An extraordinary development In re gard to women's work has come to light in the fact that 500 girls and women are employed In the foundries of Pitts burg, doing work for $4 and $5 a week for which men were formerly paid from $14 to $10 a week. They are princi pally employed In coremaklng and "snap" molding shops. The States of Georgia, Texas aud Mississippi have recently abandoned the system of hiring out convicts and have employed them to advantage on farms, especially In raising cotton. This form of employment has been found to work the least injury to free labor and to assure the best returns. A profit has been made In each Instance, and the farms have been free from the hard ships aud cruelties. Laws prohibiting boycotting In speci fic terms have been enacted In Colora do, Illinois and Wisconsin. In practic ally all other States, however, It Is not difficult to' make boycotting a misde meanor. All that Is required Is for an employer to enter the courts and claim that boycotters are conspiring to ruin his business, when an injunction Is quickly Issued outlawing the boycott So special laws are hardly needed. For miles along the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks and for many miles in other localities there stretch long lines of coke furnaces, blazing up Into the night all through the year. Above each oven top the flames burn flercely-bll-llons of horse-power In the shape of heat going to waste absolutely. With proper management these ovens could be located near great cities, the heat now wasted could generate power for street cars or public heating or other useful purposes and the cost of living be reduced to millions of families. Be yond the coke ovens on that same rail road you will often see burning some huge pile of logs-worn out railroad ties that are of no use and must be got rid of. Rolling by the Are, hour after hour, are long trains of empty freight cars, going to take on loads. These empty cars could take the huge logs to the cities In winter. How mnnr r.. i - J lies could thus be kept warm cheaply? FAMOUS ACTRESS STRICKEN. Mme. Janauschek, the Tragedienne, III with Paralysis. Mme. Fanny Janauschek, the fa mous tragedienne, was ' recently stricken with paralysis. Mme. Janau schek was born In Prague, Bohemia, and at the age of 18 was a favorite on the European stage. She made her first appearance In this country In 1807 and for four years acted In German. Then she mastered the English lan guage and turned her attention to Shakespearean tragedy, when her real career In this country hesrnn. tn ism she revisited Germany, but returned to mis country in 1880 and has since re mained here. When not on her pro fessional tours she lives at 717 Jeffer son avenue, Brooklyn. As an actress she is noted for her great1 power and fascinating personality. She has been luccessful In many roles and her Lady Will rANXT JAftAUSCnEK. Macbeth and Meg Merrllles are con sidered among the best characteriza tions ever presented on the American Btago. Though during her long stage career Madame Janauschek has been in re ceipt of a handsome salary, she Is to flay dependent upon the actors' fund for sustcuauce. The Terror of Hyderabad. It Is on record that no fewer than twenty-three persons were killed by a mau-eating pautber In the Ellichpore district, Hyderabad, during the past twelve months, says the Morning Post of Delhi. The brute remains at large, despite the reward of 300 rupees offer ed for his capture. Too Much of a Talker fbr Him.

It happens often these days that Aunt Maria Das to remember that Marie was named for her, and that Aunt Martha has a namesake In Mar- SOLDIER'S LIFE EASIER. Protection, Weapons and Food Mach Improved of Late Years. Although soldiering would seem to be a more perilous business than it ever was before, In consequence of the greater force, rapidity and range of weapons, and the higher power of ex plosives, the result may show that mod ern battles are not more deadly than were those of the Civil War, since an attempt has been made to counteract the destructive forces by stouter pro tections In forts and by a system of tactics that replaces the old solid for mations with something like the skir mish order of former times. It may be, also, that the troops will fight at fur ther distance, allowing for the longer carriage of bullets and shells. But of one thing we are certain. If the perils of war have been multiplied the comforts of the camp have been Increased until they are a partial offset. Clothing Is stouter, If the millers choose to make It so; camp outfits Include eooklng apparatus that can be carried on the back of one man; the canning of meats, vegetables and fruits, the desic cation of other articles of food, and the general cheapening of many things that were luxuries a few years ago make It possible to live In camp almost as in a hotel. The substitution of aluminum for iron In utensils is another advant age, and in general there Is a tendency to both lightness of outfit and extension of properties contained tn It. In addition to the articles provided by the government in its clothing and ra tion allowances, the man with a gun is now allowed to buy and have pipes, tobacco, soap, writing materials, pens, basins, blacking brushes, silk handker chiefs, matches, towels and an addition to bis menu in cheese, canned goods, dried fruits, deviled ham, preserves, white sugar, lime Juice, Worcestershire sauce, pickles, Jam, ginger, spices and cranberry sauce. Rum Is discounte nanced In hot countries, for it encour ages sunstroke and Intensifies other troubles peculiar to the climate. Brooklyn Eagle. THE ART OF TALKING WELL. Thingc to Pay and Things to Leave Un said in General Conversation. It Is better to be frankly dull than pedantic. One must guard one's self from the temptation of "talking shoo" and of riding one's "hobby." Whatever sets one apart as a capital "I" should be avoided. I A joke or humorous story Is depen-' dent upon Its freshness for apprecia tion. Some emotions will not bear "warming over." It Is no longer considered good form to say a word against any one. An Ill natured criticism Is a social blunder. Gossip, too, Is really going out of fash Ion. True wit Is a gift, not an attainment Those who use It aright never yield to the temptation of saying anything that can wound another in order to exhibit their own cleverness. It Is natural and spontaneous. "He who runs after wit Is apt to catch nonsense." Talk that has heartiness In It and the liveliness and sparkle that come of llght-heartedness and Innocent gayety, s a fairly good substitute for wit. Offer to each one who speaks the homage of your undivided attention. Look people In the face when you talk to them. Talk of things, not persons. The best substitute for wisdom Is silence. It Is a provincialism to say "yes, sir," "no, ma'am" to one's equal. Have convictions of your own. Be yourself aud not a mere echo. Never ask leading questions.. We should show curiosity about the con cerns of others only so far as It may gratify them to tell us. Draw out your neighbor without cate chizing him. Correct him, if necessary, without contradicting him. Avoid man nerisms. Strive to be natural and at ease. The nervousness that conceals Itself under affected vivacity should be controlled, as should the loud laugh. Ladles' Home Journal. DID NOT KNOW HER HUSBAND.
