A recent Washington 'despatch said: Tlie mission -of .Maxim Gorky lo America for cllie purpose of raising money tc aid ithe revolutionists' of Russia lo establish their supremacy has received a hard blow owing to some recent diplomatic correspondence between tlie two countries. Russia has informed the United States'government', that Gorky is not a reformer but-a-rcvoluUDuist of the most .rabid type; that Madame Andervia -who accompanied him lo New York as his wife, is not his .wife but is also a revolutionist to whom.Morosoff, a'.merchant prince ��� of Moscow, .gave.$1,500,000 to aid ���the-revolution.

Wilson Creek is the Scene cl a New Gold Strike: Rush 'for Claims Started Mondaj Night ��� Discoverers Locate/! ' Promising- Paystrcak. Wilson creek, a tributary of the O'Doundi river, was the scene ol a stampede on Monday .of this week. ' Andrew Grier and John Tintingcr, two well known miners who hav.e been working this winter on Spruce, left a 'few weeks ago to prospect on Wilson .-creek, where they had done considerable prospecting some three ' or four years ago. Ac that time they .were unsuccessful in an endeavor to locate a paysireak, although course gold was found. As .a -result 'of their recent search they have discovered that the pay lies in a hardpau about two feer. from lhe surface, and from several prospect holes which they sunk in this lhe discoverers panned.out an ounce of gold. Grier and Tin- linger are now busy freighting -out a summer's outfit and jl is their,intention to commence work on their ground at the earliest opportunity. Quite a number of men from;Dis- covery aud Spruce started- oiu'-'-uu Monday night to stake claims at the scene ot the latest strike aud the,stampeding still continues. As near as could be learned on Thursday fully fifty claims had already beeu staked. The new creek is reached via the Blue canyon on Spruce and it is about 26 miles from Atlin lo tlie discovery claim. For several miles each side of discovery the creek bottom is from one hundred io two hundred feet wide aud has very little grade. There will be ample water for ordinary placer mining purposes.

The second question was unanswered���as no one could find a reasonable excuse, and to the third achap who arrived Saturday night volunteered the in formation' that he passed the mail, which, had had a 12 hours start of him, on the portage from Otter lake Jo Hales City early Saturday a.m. ' Shortly after noon on Monday the mail did, at last, arrive, and ever since we have been doing oin- utmost to find an answer to the second question.

A common charge broughtagainst newspaper reporters is that they are heartless, that they revel iu laying before lhe world the closely guarded secrets of individuals.. It constantly happens that a reporter must do unpleasant things because others hive beeu guilty of those violations of custom, law or convention that make news. The opprobrium thai belongs to the real offender is not infrequently heaped upon the innocent ncw.-igalhcrcr. There is no work a reporter detests so much as that involving asocial scandal, and there is no story thai a large percentage of readers will devour more eagciiy. There is not a good reporter living who has not been guilty of that blackest, least lorgiv- able of all journalistic crimes, "throwing down" his newspaper to protect a helpless person innocently involved in a legitimate news story that is a matter of public record. On the whole, the news-gatherers are a tender-hearted folk and generous, and that which often passes for cynicism is an intense haired and contempt for .-hams. If they appear suspicious it is because long experience has , taught them that Ihey must constantly guard against deception. There is no walk of life a good reporter is not compelled, sooner or later, to invade, and his position is the trying one ot being compelled either to gain the confidence of or outwit those lie meets there.���Hartley Davis in Evcry- boclv's Magazine.

V'; Boys, in his British Association lecture- at Cape Town recently, entitled "Some Surface Actions of Fluids,1' referred lo the ���subject of evaporation, and said he wished also to refer lo thai attraction of the parts of a fluid for itself, in virtue of which its surface tends ,-to become as,small as possible, so that it might be considered as a contractile membrane of a definite ���strength, different, however, for different fluids. Even the gold miner ilost much of the finer particles of gold owing to its floating away on the surface,' if he did not reduce the rtension by soap or other means. Different solids were wetted by water or by oil with different degrees of facility, and a number of processes interesting to miners depended upon these preferences. For instance, certain sulphide ores were mi ore readily wetted by oil than by water, and when mixed with both, '.the oil laid .hold of the valuable and heavy particles aud floated them ���away from the useless and lighter particles that remained behind. In the same way microscopic bubbles adhered to some materials in preference lo others and the constituents of finely ground ores were so separated. One of the most remarkable processes of the kind was seen in the "greaser''' used for separating diamonds and some other precious .-stones from the worthless gravel. 'This he could show on the screen ���where diamonds, sapphires, and ���some other stones travelled along in the water till they came to a film of butter, while gravel quartz aud emerald tripped over lhe butter and even over the diamonds and passed .away in the stream.���South Africa. Isicfky Mexicans. Mark Twain tell a good story about acouple.of California miners:' '"Two miners used to go to the ueighlooring -.village in'.the afternoon and 'return -every iriglut with supplies.

That; boulder paid them $8oo"afterwards.: But the aggravating circumstance: was thatithese 'greasers' knew-therej must be more gold where 'that,' boulder came from,' and so went panning up the hill, and found! what was probably the richest pocket that region has yet pro-; duced. It .took three months toj exhaust'it, and-it yielded $120,000.!
