Prosperity.
Do yon know that in these bard times a
action of country fifty wilt's squara
tailed the Black Hills, has more material
prosperity than any other place of the
tame sice you can mention? $8,000,000
was the 1896 gold product one-Mixih of
the entire amount produced in the L'uited
State. Late last fall new discoveries
were made that will largely increase the
product. As soon u the enow goes off
prospecting will be renewed vigorously
at the new field. Thr will be found a
thanoe for men with limited means, as
good ore is fonnd at gran roots, and
money can be obtained for development
from sale of ore as soon as thoy begin
work. You can gpt valuable informa

DINED IN BLACK.
Novel Wetbod.of a Woman for Co.
memoratliiff Her Hmbaad' Death.
Although the culinary art has in the
last twenty years made rapid strides,
stilt there la a s.tmeness about dinner
parties, which, to the habitual diner
out, comes but little short of Anil
monotony.
Now and again however, one comas
across a hostess whose imagination or
eccentricity is the means of providing
a meal for her guests upon lines other
than those upon which the wrdiaary
dinner is given.
Such a one was a lady who every
year gave what she termed a memor
ial dinner on the anniversary of hat
husband's death.
The room in wliich the dinner was
given was draped for the occasion ia
mauve and black, no other colors be
ing visible. The tablecloth was like
wise of mauve silk, while the ohly
floral decorations in use were violets.
The lady guests were arrayed fa
eithor black or mauve dresses; tb
footmen were dresspd in black plus
breeches, mauve silk stockings a ad
black coats.
On dinner being announced th
hostess took the head of the table, bat
on either side of her, seated upon two
stools, sat two black poodle dogs, ex
cellently clipped after the approved
French fashion, and with mauve col
or.'J ribbon bows on their heads.
These two dojrs had been great peU
of the laly's husband d uring hia life
time, and it was for this reason that
they were allowed a seat amoag tha
guests at the dinner table.
The menu was remarkable for tao
absence of any color in tha viands
save mauve, the rest being either
black or whit). Thus tbe soup waa
white, likewise tbe fish and entreea.
as regards ths game, the lady gat
over the difficulty, or at least met It
half way. by providing blackcock.
The sweets were either mauve colored
Or white, while at the end of tbe dla-
ner black coffee was served.

Colonel "Bill" Randolph likes quail

"How much do you want for your

"Tell you what I'll do. You take

Vhonuod of i lh Trjlo to Ascent (ft
FeU.
Last week waa an unusual on foi
fiahing with hook and line for young
talmon on the ialand below the falls
at Oregon City; Bob Inman, Cfharle
wigert, H. C. Campbell and Joe Hat
ield caught full 200 pounds of fish, P.
F. Morey hooked and landed 108
pounds with a spoon in two and a half
aours. The falls at the present
time present one of the grandest
tights ever witnessed anywhere.
The amount of water pouring ovei
ia something enormous, and tbe way
It is lashed Into white foam by the
mad rush of water is awe-inspiring,
and one realizes bis utter insignifi
cance. In this' vortex of churning
water are to be seen thousands of
kuge salmon trying to leap ten feet in
to the afr only to be carried down
with the mad current Some do make
it and hide in boles between the rockj
rest awhile, and thea rush onward,
only to meet defeat, as it seems Impos
sible for them to gain the upper river.
Thousands of lamprey eels are dip
ped out with a net, to be shipped down
the river for sturgeon bait. These
eels are tied bp in sacks; the sacks are
fastened to air-tight barrels and then
cast into the rushing water. They
float down stream and are picked up
by boatmen in the eddies about tbe
bridge. It is interesting to hear the
risltor ask for the fish ladder built by
Gov. Pennoyer, and when a broken
wall of water thirty feet high and
twenty feet wide is pointed out the
blank look of astonishment tells its
own story. The fish never lived that
could ascend that perpendicular wall
of foam, and the effort to make a ish-
way It a complete failure and money
wasted. A fish wheel has been built
and catches the salmon. After vainly
trying to ascend the ladder they be
come tired of the struggle and are will-
lag te commit suicide rather than
make an effort to return to the sea.
Vhe Fete of Sunken Ship.
What becomes of the ship that sinks
in mid-ocean? If It is of wood, it takes
ia the first f lace, considerable time for
it to reach the bottom. In one hundred
er more fathoms ef water a quarter of
an hour will elapse before the ship
reaches the bottom. It sinks slowly,
and when the bottom Is reached it falls
gently into the soft, oozy bed, with no
crash or breaking. Of course, if it Is
laden with pig iron or corresponding
substances, or if it is an iron ship, it
sinks rapidly, and sometimes strikes
the bottom with such force at t
smash to pieces. Once sunken, the
ship becomes 'he prey of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean. They swarm
over and through the great boat, and
make it their home. Besides this, they
cover every Inch, of the boat with a
thick layer of lime. This takes time.
of course, and when one generation
dies another continues tbe work, until
finally the ship is so laden with heavy
incrustations, corals, sponges and bar
nacles that, if wood, the creaking tim
bers fall apart, and slowly but surely
are absorbed in the waste at the sea
bottom. Iron vessels ar demolished
more quickly than those of wood,
which may last for centuries. The only
metals that withstand the chemical
action of the waves are gold and plat
inum, and glass alto seems unaffected.
No matter how long gold may be hid
den in the ocean, it will always be gold
when recovered, and this fact ex
plains the many romantic an adven
turous searches after hidden subma
rine treasures lost in shipwrecks.
A Loan Payable In Tobacco.
A. curious fact tbat was brought into
prominence by Reister Tillman in hit
recent report ia that the first loan made
by the United States waa made pay
able in tobacco. The loan wan author
ized by a resolution of the Continental
Congress on December 23, 1777. The
length of the loan was indefinite and tae
amount authorized was $10,006,000. The
amount issued waa $181,000, which sold
at par, with Interest at 5 per cent. This
was received on June 4, 1777, from the
Farmers' General of France. The pur
pose to which the loan was applied was
the "purchase of supplies and to aid
In the building of cruisers to prosecute
the war of the revolution." The inter
est on $153,682.8. the balance of this
loan, ceased . on December 31, 1795,
when it was merged into the generai
account of the French deht. In those
days tobacco passed as currency.
