Time was when Millinery had to come from Paris—the “Bon Marche.” That grand French house had to supply the fashionable world ; but'now exquisite sample headgear are bought in Paris, brought to New York, San Francisco— and American culture, in design and creation, vies with the French in creative genius. All the chic of the Parisian modiste, the New York style and the best assistants we can secure aid us (after viewing French hats) to plan, conceive, prepare and show highest millinery. The generous patronage of the public attests to the fact that our New Mil- linery Department is a success. Cloaks and Suits.

The Government’s Defi- nition of Hydraulic Mining at Last. Large Prospects for the Inter- national Mining Congress. | Mining Progress. The formal decision by the California Debris Commission that the definition of “hydraulic mining,” to which it will ad- | here in carrying out the Caminetti law, shall be “mining by means of water un- der pressure through a nozzle,” is the most important ruling that mining af- fairs have brought forth for a long time. It practically settles a vexed question, over which the last California Miners’ debated lon and about which authorities disagres much. It is now settled that the Federal engineers, when acting as the California Debris Commission under the Caminetti law, | will regulate drift mining, ground sluic- | ing, the washing of tailings, dumps and | all placer mining on the water sheds of the navigable streams when water is used through a nozzle under pressure, as well as when it is used “against a nat- ural bank.” This decision probably settles the ques- tion, because the miners are not apt to appeal from the decision. This makes of practical non-effect the definition adopted by the State Legislature, which technically limited the term ‘“‘hydraulic mining” to hydraulic operations against a *“natural bank.” The definition with its implied declaration of jurisdiction will undoubtedly be accepted with fairly good grace by the hydraulic mining interests, who are especially and wearily anxious that some move be made toward the con- struction of the restraining dams. The spirit in which the decision will be re- ceived by the majority of miners is prob- ably well reflected by the Mining and | cientific Press, which observes in fts| current {ssue: “It is fair to assume that the future of the great industry of hydraulic mining in California rests in a liberal administra- | tion and interpretation of the existing law, or some law framed upon the same general lines.

This vein runs from one foot to three feet wide at place of discovery, the only place ex- plored. A crushing of six tons paid $25 per ton. This was found last month. The vein was uncovered on March 1, and the only development so far on this find is a cut eighteen feet long to a depth of ten feet. The vein filling is quartz, with ocher and iron. Much of the ore shows free gold. The bottom of the cut between the walls is about eighteen Inches ‘in width. The direction of the vein is north and south.

Cripple Creek is not keeping up the phenomenal record made by its_output during the closing months of 1897. A party of San Francisco capitalists are on Evans Creek this week examining the Howell & Borden placer proposition on Saxes Creek. This enterprise contem- plates the construction of a 13-mile ditch carrying the waters of Evans Creek on to several hundred acres of rich gravel land on Saxes Creek. and later it is pro- osed to extend the ditch on to the Rogue iver Valley.—Oregon Mining Journal. The very numerous parties of prospect- ors and explorers now headed for the sec- tions to the westward, particulariyv the Copper River and Kotzebue Sound dis- tricts, will doubtless gather a vastamount of valuable information concerning those portions of Alaska, whereof so little is now known. That the work of these par- ties will eventually find its reward in the discovery of valuable mineral deposits is beyond question, though it is quite proba- ble that the present season will not be productive of any great results. The Ter- ritory at large, however, is bound to reap substantial benefit from the information gained.—Alaska Mining Record. KNIGHTS AND LADIES. The Grand Lodge of the K. and L. of H.
