Hesldcnts of other states , as Idaho for In- itancc , liavoa grievance , though less marked than that of tlioso of the Golden Stato. Hut In some purls of Idaho stiver mining has been developed to such an extent that the majority of the citizens actually bollovo that ns n producer ot the jcllow metal the state could never hope to attain moro conspicuous rank. In Justice to the silver mlneis it ought to be explained that the claims set up by them as to the correlative dependence of gold pro duction on that of the wlilto metal is not ex aggerated. That it is true , however , that the output of golden bullion has boon re stricted in proportion to the curtailing of the yield of silver Is duo to the peculiar condi tions under which the mining Industry of the inter-mountain states ha boon devel oped. The Plain FHCI Is that mining for silver has been prosecuted to the exclusion of search after gold , and ex ploitation of cold mines solely and simply because the former Is attended by less risk nnd hazard than what may be anticipated in gold mining. Development and operation of gold proper ties Is characterized by many elements cf uncertainty anu doubt. Gold quart ? mining at best is a good deal of a paiublo. As u rule nobody has a right to engaifo in this brancli of the industry unless Kicked by mnplo capital. The greater the amount of money available the moro certain it becomes that the esurient will provo profitable. Tlio percentage is very small In f.x\or of the discoverer of a good mlno making any con siderable umquut of inonoy out of it. ills chances of reward nro limited practically to success in selling a claim when it is a mcto prospect. Capital Kcqillrod. There have boon few "poor men's mines " If it could bo collated the list would bo Email of gold mines that have been devel oped with labor as the only capital or the larger share of it. Out In castorn Oregon not long ugo a gold mlno was opened that paid fiom tho'surlaco ' down. Enough rich ere was taken put of a shallow prospect hole to pay for the erection of a stamp mill. That Is now pounding out the jcllow metal , but how long it will continue time must tell. Several other instances of n similar kind are of rccoul. In ono or moro cases the original locators of a claim that gave great promise "blow themselves m" on mills or a plant for treating the output and then had to abandon the property or sell nt n sacrifice. It would bo dlfllcult to conv inco a silver miner that hln attention was devoted ex clusively to opening up bodies of silver-bear ing ere nnd extracting It because It was a "sure thing" business. That Is ono of the motives , however , dispute it whoever may. As compared with gold quartz mining , the extraction of silver from nature's treasure hpuso Is u safe business proposition. That ,1s the explanation why the disco\ cry of ell- , vor in Ncv.id.i thirty odd years ago caused the majority of minors to cast aside the rocker and pan and take up the pick and Drill. - ' Lured from 1'lrst I.ovc. From long cxuerioEce , which had been n bitter ono to many , the gold seekers saw greater certainty of realizing fortunes from silver than by continuing the original quest tliat had transformed them into nomads , Even in Nevada , which Is overywheio known as the Silver State , some of the grratcsl dlscovciics of that metal wcio made by golil minors. They abandoned their placer dig' glngs and quartz ledges to delve for the white metal. That was the way the grual Conistock lode was dlscovciud. Similar was the genesis of other silver camps. Peculiar to the Comstocker is the appeal for ( ho ro-ostabllshmcnl of the old-time parity between the two metals because , as domonstiuteil on the great lode , n.itin ( planted them In the matrix side by side That nmor may not bo considered an aigu inunt in favor of ilxlnc the vuluo of gold am silver ut thoiatloof 10 to 1 , But it-u as tin fortunate for other states that such comli ttons obtained.

The great rush to Novudi when itho Comstock was struck , and ti White Pine , Huby 11111 , Plocho and otho camps depopulated the gold camps of Idaho Prior to that they wore considered gooi enough for miners to pin their faith to th gold claims and cnduru the privations am hardships Incident to wintering in th mountains.

ClWhy the disinclination to dig for gc taouJu be characterized us superstition ui appear strnneo to these who are unfamiliar with miners' habits and vagaries. Ix > ts of men who have worked underground In sil ver mines ami dallj faced dangers that on- tltlo them to the distinction ot heroism will tell you that they ore superstitious about mining for gold. Ono would infer th.it this class regard the gnomes who guard the de posits of jcllow metal nro moro vigilant than tlioso to whom silver's cnro Is con fided. This would do for fi'lry tales , but for such practical men as mine It Isn't any ox- cine at all. Superstition in this connection Is but another name foi temerity. No class of workers can uo found that stands in such dioad of ridicule as miners and moro particularly the unattached con tingent known a ? prospectors.

Ihcro are so many chances for fooling ono s self In gold mining that the cry of supersti tion Is n good thing to fall back upon. Of course the miners could afford to bo "super stitious" now thov Imvcn't , the choice. Gradually they arc slipping off from the camps of the Cocur d'Aluncs and the silver camns nirovcr Idaho and have already began to tuck aw ay nt some of these neglected ledges. Many moro are preparing to ground- sluice or pan the goldbaarlng sands. Most of the proceeds from these clean-ups will bo converted into grub-stakes and tools with which to woik the ledges In the long winter. Looking for Snnps. Men who > were farslghtcd enough to an ticipate what has happened to silver began , long ago , to hunt up abandoned gold claims. The Gambrlnus district Is ono of thcso favored-localities tl Idaho. There was u boom there In the 'CO's. Mines which were worked but llttlobolow the surface jleldcd hundreds of thousands of dollars In gold. Only such ere as vuis Imtnenssly rich was worked and the rest was thrown on the dump Ono mlno alone produced > 00,000 to $ . ' 100.000 , although the mill that was built to work the output of the Illinois , as It wna called , crushed only a small amount of oro. Extravagance. Incompotcncy and robbery marked the administration of this property which has been loft abandoned for \cars. Nothing was over done on it after the water level i\as reached. 'Iho greatest depth of any of the shafts of the district will not exceed - coed sixty or seventy feot. On ono property a 83 stamp mill was built in early dais that never run an hour. It was given out that the rich ore said to have como from the mine and on the strength of which It was sold was brought from soiuowhcro clso. The coaipany was disgusted at something nnd left the property. A minor , who wasn't superstitious , prospected thcio a few month since. IIo found rich ere nnd that encouraged him to look further. As a result ho becan develop ment to gain depth and , having located the property , has put It hi stfapo for a producer in the near futuio. Deals aio reported to bo pending in tlio Gambilnlis district nnd if practical mining men got hold of propel ties and work them on business pilnciplcs the famous old gold camp ill bo likely to boom again. Capital , of tourso , w ill bo inquired to open the mines and operations conducted with gi eater economy and less 'recklessness than for- moily. Mining ; Itulns. War Eagle mountain once had several camps of prominence. Fain low was full of promise in early times. With n population ot several thousand it died down completely. Now all that Is loft are dilapidated buildings , stone foundations of hundreds moio and n cemetery. Scattered about are the ruins of big shaft houses in which thousands of del lars' worth of machinery have gone to rack and ruin. Throughout the twenty years' abandonment of Fairview n few miners re mained there and worked qulotlv along ic- locating old Uaims and keeping up the necessary - sary ropiesontation work to hold them. Ono company , of the many that formeily opoiuted there , has aheady rctuincd and put its machinery in order to rcsumowork. Not far fiom Fuirvicw is Hooster Comb camp. Gold bearing veins were prospected long ago. but as the rock wasn't consideicd rich enough when bonanzas were alone sought uftor the camp has boon long in neglect. The principal objection to Rooster Comb wasn't the lack of ere nor as to its value. Mineral deposits were hard to work before the davs of new processes miuio it possible to profitably treat oxides and sul- phurots. Milling mnn have bseu devoting their at tention to the problem of how to work these ores , nnd they think they have solved it. In the Salmon liver country old camps are filling up. Cliims that were spumed be cause the value of the gold ores was reck oned ns too low are being gobbled up nnd propaiations made for v\orking the output. In the Dahlancga district , at Gibbonsville , ono of the Lcmhi county camps of pioml- ncnco jouis ago , a Nebraska company had the cnterpiiso to tackle some gold proposi tions from which the owr.eis made a living by ciudo methods. Machinery for u milling plant was taken in 120 miles from the i.iil- loud and the most improved methods of ore treatment adopted , Since a beginning was made uy tills company , negotiations \\cic opened for other propel ties by men of cap- ital. That w ill bo the experience of othoi camps. Success of ono operator or companj sets the pace which othcis will follow. In the Coonr d'Aleiu-B , from which so much silver and lead hnvt been shipped , a large share of the hundreds of miners who lost employment by the shut down of the mines aio prospecting for gold It was the discovery of that kind of mineral Unit lirst led to the section's being opened , The producing gold mines are few now , bui the number is likely to bo increased.

After laying slogo to her af fections in the usual style ho told her how much ho thought of her nnd asked her for a reciprocal pledge.

Concluding , llkn the foolish Cockney that ho was , that that meant that before the winter sot in she would cast him adrift , ho called her fickle-hearted and expressed other un complimentary opinions of her and hur ried back to London , where ho did his best to forgot her , with the usual result that the more ho tried not to think about her the moro ho did think about her. her.One One day , however , ho came across a saying "which filled his heart with gloo. " It-was this : "When the gorse is isn't sweet. " out of blossom kissing Then , to use a phrabo which hadn't boon coined in the days when they know how torito pretty ballads , ho "tumbled. " Back ho llow to Devonshire , wooed the Devonshire maiden all over again , and when ho again proposed ho was made ecstatically happy by her answer : "Till the gorse is out of blossom I'll bo true to you. " IIo had learned a fact in botany that ho'had previously been ignorant of. In the mild and salubrious''west coun try" the gorse is never out of blossom. Alwiija Worth Seeing. But it is kibsing from the point of view of the spectator rather than the participant that I wish to treat of hero , says a writer in the Now York Herald. Of course it is much nicer to kiss a pi otty girl , w hen that privilege has been legitimately and lawfully acquired , than it is to moioly" see some other follow kiss a pretty pirl. But the fact remains that o\ery prop erly constituted man of woman born on- joyu witnessing oscillatory demonstra tions of alTection , especially when the attendant circumstances are such that ho is not regarded as an intruder. Even a stage kibS , when artistically adminis tered , evokes responsive emotions in those near onSugh to the front row to got a good view of it. But at its best a stage kiss is only an artifical product. It lacks the thrilling spontaneity , bo to speak , of the genuine , simon pure , un adulterated article. It boars the faamo relation to it that a chromo reproduc tion does to the masterpiece of the salon.

There is a crowd on the pier , but it is the best natured , Imppiebt ciowd in the world , and it is really a luxury to bo brought in contact with it and to bo pushed and shoved by it. As soon as the big stcambhip comes in sight with her escort of saucy , snubnosed tugs , people ple begin to thrill and vibrato with an ticipations of the joy that will soon be theirs. Glasses are brought to bear on her long before it is possible to discriminate between the bpecke of humanity seen on her decks. But as the big vessel slowly draws nearer the people who have brought ghibset with them begin to reap their j-cward , and exclamations with the sumo note ol exhilaration in them as is convoyed by the popping of champugno corks , pro > claim their discoveries.

If you had been on bourd that vessel and know that there was somebody On the pier just dying to kiss you , you would have done thO Baino thing and never legiottcd it si moment afterwards. The man in Iho load plunges into the crowd and in no time leaches a pair of feminine arms that have been waving frantically since their owner first cast eyes on him , "Pop !
