Some Mention of the Richmond and
Ruby.Dunderberg.
We copy the following from the London
Mining Journal Of October 9th


We copy the following from the London
Mining Journal of October 9th:
RICHMOND.
The usual telegram from the mines at
Eureka, Nevada, state that the weeks run
was s65, 600, from 1880 tons of ore. Dur
ing the week the refinery produced dore
bars to the value Of $50, 900. The man
ager (Sept. 81 reported hat there was very
little to report, owing to the mine being
closed down five days for thorough over
haul Of machinery, which was then in
thorough repair and working well. He
writes Sept. 15) that during the week
operations both in the mine and smelling
works have been carried on with the usual
regularity. The 800 north cross-cut has
been extended 81 feet on a well-defned
fssure, and in favorable ground for strik-
ing ore. The 900 north cross-cut has been
extended 20 feet; the face Of the drift is in
very favorable ground for striking ore.
The 900 northwest drift has been advanced
20 feet On q regular seam, with very good in
dications for ore. The chambers are with
out any material change since my last.
The furnaces are in good working order,
and smelling large quantities OF ore.
RUBY-DUNDERBERG.
The usual weekly report has not been
received, but there is a special report on
the Dunderberg mine from the company's
superintendent, which states there was ga
marked improvement at several points,"
and that there need be no apprehension
as far as the mine Is concerned" The
weekly telegram is considered to confirm
these views, as the output is steadily in
creasing. The decision against this COM
pany at the suit Of a neighboring mining
company in Eureka has, it appears, been
appealed against, and it is said that, even
if this matter of surface rights were set
tied definitely and adversely to the Ruby
Company. it would only affect a small
portion Of non-ore-bearing shale compris-
ing a corner Of one of the company's
mines, for which a patent had not been
taken out,

Where Our Clocks Come From.

The Yankee, says writer in the Provi- dence Journal, has notion about clocks-a positive weakness-and his de- sire for new and varied clockery is never limited, but often subject to the limits of his pocket. If he could obviate the difficulty with his obstinate pocket, a new clock would be preferable to new hat. The theory is still abroad that 8 number of clocks can be made to run or tick in unison, and many promising mind has come to naught by attempting to demonstrate it, never profting by the example furnished by the royal foreigner who was obliged to leave his clocks for the insane asylum, where the pendulum of his life ceased to swing. The amount of energy, mental and physical, obliter- ated by striking clocks is beyond the ken of man, but is enormous. Nine tenths of all clocks are made in Con- necticut, and they range in price from $1 to $100. The novelty clocks are in great demand, and their cheapness places the m within the reach of all. Many are provided with handles and travelling cases, and are particularly used on journeys. Some of them will tell the time of day. For $4 or $5, however, a good timekeeper can be bought. Very few clocks are imported. We not only do not buy the foreigners wares, but sell him our own. The export of cl ocks equals LOGO cases week, most of which go to London and are there distributed. None go to France or Switzerland. No clocks are made in Rhode Island.

A Chinese Famine.

An American merchant who has been engaged in the tea business for seventeen years in Hong Kong related lately some incidents which had fallen under his own observation in China which throw 8 pleasant light upon the character of these ittle-known people.
 Americans" he said, 'are the best fed and best-clothed people in the world. It is absolutely impossible for them to realize the excessive poverty which exists among the agricultural population of Northern China. They have no food but rice and water, and seldom enough of that. There are hundreds of thou sands of them who do not possess twenty cents in currency in the course of 8 year.
 "When famine comes-and it needs but partial failure of the rice-crop to pro- duce famine-they are reduced to live upon earth and grass. Lots are drawn to find which of the children shall be sacrificed for the others, and the victim is brought down into the town and sold for fifty cents as slave, the parents parting with it with grief and despair which are, believe, genuine. ''Female infants are strangled at birth in ''hard summer" because, the parents aver, it is simply impossible to feed them, and 1t is better for them to die in this way than by slow starvation.

The Way to Advertise.

A good story is told about Miss Fanny Davenport's bargain with her dress makers, who are a firm of men, and stand somewhere near the top of the business. The agent of the actress said to the dressmakers You do not un- derstand the art of advertising as well as we theatre people do. Make the prices right for this job and I'll see that you come out of 1t the most famous dress makers in the country. How? O, it's simple enough. This wardrobe will be something we'll worth newspaper men, tion-the press of the whole country will have items about it. We'll, I'll see that you go into print as the makers, see? You would get thousands of dol lars worth of such advertising as couldn't be bought with any amount of money. Your firm would become in- stantly as popular as Worth's." That seemed reasonable enough, and very low price was made for the dresses. The agent did his level best to carry out his part of the contract. He fairly bom- barded newspapez offices with informa- ton about the dresses and their makers i; but, while items relating to the former get into print readily, l have yet to see one that contained the name of the firm in question.
 Whether this story be true or not, we do not know; but even if it is regarded merely as fable, it illustrates the folly of trying to advertise commodities by in- direct methods. These methods usually defeat themselves, while the business man who comes before the public in a frank and straightforward manner and in the columns of reputable newspapers, gains the desired publicity and secures the business that he is seeking.-N.

New Wool Materials.

The new camel's-hair stufs, says Harper's Bazar, are as thick as lady's- cloth, but show their twilled weaving slightly; they are imported in many new red-purple shades, quaint blue and green, with olive, maroon and many drab shades. The fine qualities are $3.5 50 yard. There are others with mummy cloth weaving that show the same range of colors, and cost $2 50 a yard. The best qualities of stocking net, known as Jersey webbing, are for ty-eight inches wide, and s. 50 yard in the stylish purple, blue. wine red and olive shades. Biarritz cloth is re- vived again, and commends itself from the fact that it's lengthwise reps are easily brushed clean. The Cheviots for making the entire suit in tailor-like fashions are similar in style and colors to the materials chosen by gentlemen for their business suits. Brown in the pheasant shades prevails among these fabrics, and is interwoven with threads of blue, red, or green in broken plaids and checks. These are double width, and cost from $1.1O to $2.25 the yard. Some are provided with larger plaid stripe or border along the selvedge. Very quaint colors are combined in small checks in camel's- hair to which a Gobelin border is added. The hand kerchief designs come in cloths of vari ous weight and widths, costing from $1.25 to $4 a square the more costly ones are two yards square, but the small Ter squares are more effective, and are more easily arranged in the costume. Some modistes prefer buying the plain fabrics, and selecting rich plaids of large size and quaint coloring to combine with them. Plum -colored handker- chiefs with pheasant brown borders are considered very stylish. For under skirts are Bayadere stripes of mixed silk and wool similar to the cotton goods used in the spring for lawn-ten- his and yachting suits. Instead of having white for the principal color, these warmer-looking stuffs now have black alternating with red, old gold, or blue stripes. Sometimes salmon stripes alternate with brown, or else it is prune with pale blue, or yellow with maroon-red, or peacock blue with cardi- nal. Three yards are sold for 8 skirt and its trimmings, and the material costs from $1.75 to $3 yard. The plain velvets shown. for dress trimmings cost from $2 to $4 8 yard. Heavier qualities for making the entire dress are twenty-two inches wide, and $4 a yard. The wide velvets, measuring three-fourths of yard, and of pure silk, are shown in all the new shades for evening and dinner dresses, and the dark stylish shades for costumes these are | $10 yard

A Reminiscence of 1872.
HOW THE SISTERS REBECCA AND ABIGAIL
 BATES FRIGHTENED THE BRITISH.

Miss Rebecca W. Bates of Scituate
 Harbor, one of the heroines of 1912, has
 just celebrated her eighty an-
 niversary at the old homestead. Two
 sisters, Rebecca and Abigail, daughters
 of the lighthouse keeper at Scituate,
 played part in the Revolutionary pc riod as noteworthy as that of Barbara Freitche. The lighthouse at the above period was made the scene of 8 fife and drum victory over an English blockade in Scituate Horbor. Two American ves- sells were coming into the harbor laden with flour. As 1t was shallow the man. of-war was afraid to venture and manned two boats to pursue them. They were fast gaining on them when seen by Re- becca and Abbie Bates, when going out to pick up chips to boil the teakettle for the evening meal. The Ilace was under the protection of "Home Guards" who, not experiencing any danger, were on a forage in a huckleberry patch. The girls had become familiar with ammuni- tion and military music. Perceiving the danger, one of the sisters proposed to face the enemy with guns, but taking in the fearful odds, had recourse to stratagem. They fled to side of the lighthouse, so as to be concealed from the enemy, and one of them with stentorian voice called the roll. In an instant after Rebecca struck martial air on the fife, and Alb. bic hammered on the drum Justify. The music reached the British, flag was hoisted, and the two boats wheeled about, and in the act seaman fell over
 board, but was seized neck and heels and hauled in. The music also alarmed the absent guards, who returned in time to raise tumultuous cheers as the enemy were departing, the ladies playing ''Yan
 Doodle" Those two sisters never mar
 ried, although they had several pro
 posals. ..
 They were very industrious and could ply the needle and thread on any kint of garment for male or female. Tht family are remarkable for their longev ity. Their father died when very aged and their mother 97, and tbeir paterna grandfather more than 100. One sister Mrs. Jane Curtis, is in her 90th year and another, Mrs. Hawthorne, is in he
 79th. The house occupied by these tw celebrities was built by their grand father 14O years ago, and is in wonder ful state of preservation. ..1

Could Wait no Longer.

An aged squaw, who belonged to a remnant of the ancient tribe of Pecum- tucks, used to visit Old Deerfeld, and on one occasion, having imbibed too liberally of firewater, she suddenly burst into tears and sobbed as though her heart would break The bystanders begged her to tell the cause of her woe. After repeated efforts to regain her con- posture she at last succeeded between her sobs in explaining that she was weeping for the loss of her husband. "Why," said one of her old acquaint- ances, "this is very strange, for to my certain knowledge your husband has been dead for more than fifteen years. , "I know it, , said tho poor squaw, "and I could not restrain my grief any long err .

HOMEOPATHIC Medicines, as a rule are not amenable to the chemical tests and analyses used in testing drugs gen. erally. Their reliability therefore de- bends solely on the character and repu- tatiop as to probity of those preparing and putting them up. It is therefore of paramount importance that the public satisfy themselves that the homno- pathic medicines they buy are obtained from house of recognized standing and reliability. Boericke & Tafel's Homeopathic Pharmacy is established since 1885. Send for their descriptive price current of family and of veteri- nary medicine cases and books to 145 Grand Street. New York.

A Bank Cashier 0utwitted.

A clever robbery was perpetrated in Baltimore in the German bank, and, although the amount secured was only $1, 1850, the method employed had some novel features. At 1 p. m. two neatly dressed men drove up to the bank, and one of them, alighting, stepped into the bank, and throwing $50 on the counter told the Cashier, who was alone, that the gentleman in the carriage wished to speak to him in regard to deposit of his niece. The Cashier, without suspicion, stepped out to the carriage, and while he was engaged in conversation the sharper stepped ceoly behind the counter and cleaned out three pigeon-holes which were filled with bank-notes. He then walked out, passing the Cashier on the steps, and, jumping into the carriage, both men drove off at rapid pace. The Cashier soon discovered how he had beer victimized, but there are no clues to the identity of the sharpers, and few possi bilities of their arrest.

A Lonely Grave.
That afternoon I found something I

That afternoon I found something alone in wide pasture which had once been a field. The nearest house was at least two miles away, but by hunting for it found very old cellar, where the child's home must have been, not very far off, along the slope. It must have been 8 great many years ago that the house had stood there; and the small slate head-stone was worn away by the rain and wind, so there was nothing to be read, if indeed there had been any let ters on it. It had looked many 8 storm in the face, and many a red sunset. suppose the woods near by had grown and been cut, and grown again, since it was put there. There was an old sweet brier bush growing on the short little grave, and in the grass underneath I found ground-sparrow's nest. It was like a little neighborhood, and have felt ever since as if belonged to it; and I wondered then if one of the young ground sparrows was not always sent to take the nest when the old ones were done with it, so they came back in the spring year after year to live there, and there were always the stone and the sweet -brier bush and the birds to remem- Der the child. It was such lonely place in that wide field under the great sky, and yet it was so comfortable too but the sight of the little grave at first touched me strangely, and tried to pie ture to myself the procession that came out from the house the day of the fune- ral, and thought of the mother in the evening after all the people had gone home, and how she missed the baby, and kept seeing the new grave out here in the twilight as she went about he1 work. suppose the family moved away, and so all the rest were buried elsewhere.
 I often think of this place, and link it in my thoughts with something saw once in the water when I was out al sea little boat that some child haG lost, that had drifted down the river ant out to sea; too long voyage, for it wal sad little wreck, with even its white sail of hand breadth half under water
 and it's twine rigging astern. It was { silly little boat, and no loss, except tc
 it's owner, to whom it had seemed ai
 brave and proud thing as any ship o
 the line to you and me. It was ship
 wreck of his small hopes, I suppose, ane
 I can see it now, the toy of the grea winds and waves, as it foated on it
 way, while sailed on mine, out of sigh of land.
 The little grave is forgotten by every body but me, I think :; the mother mus have found the child again in heaven long time ago; but in the winter I shal
 wonder if the snow has covered it well , and next year shall go to see the sweet brier bush when it is in bloom. Go
 knows what use that life was, the gray is such a short one, and nobody know whose little child it was but perhaps thousand people in the world to day ar better because it brought little lov into the world that was not there be fore. Mogogioee.
