the low average of 10 inches Of first
class ore in this block, and CHASING
all the remaining thickness of vein
as second class, we have, at low
estimation, over 1000 tons of ore
that will yield an average of 1870 ounces
of silver and 81! per cent. lead per
ton. After deducting all working and
other Incidental expenses, the average
net Weld will be not less than $3.50
per ton, or over ONE MILLION

This is in sight. There is no guess
work about it at all. Speculation can
be resorted to by those who claim to
know what is in the ground. The
TIMES reporter makes 10 such claim.
From the experience in other mines
and districts, however, it is reasonable
to suppose that the ore-chute or Chin
nev will extend in depth for at least
l 900 feet, and that it will be widest,
richest, at about the center, or at a
depth from 400 to 700 feet from the
surface.
1t has taken four years for the man

men, to put the mine where it is. At
least two years will be required to ex-
tract what ore is in sight--,he narrow

least five years more will be required
to show up and extract what every
miner will admit MUST BE THERE.

to say that right here is work for about
100 men for seven years.

opinion that, although he may die of

Adjoining the Bullion is the Ophir,

Girl Life in India.

On the day of her marriage she is put
into a palanquin, shut up tight and
carried to her husbands house. Hither-
to she has been the spoiled pet of her
mother; now she is to be the little slave
of her mother-in-law, upon whom she
is to wait, whose commands she is to
implicitly obey, and who teaches her
what she is to do to please her husband
what dishes he likes best and how to
cook them. 1.-THE mother-in-law is kind,
she will let the girl go home occasion
ally to visit her mother.
Of her husband she sees little or
nothing. She is of no more account to
him than little cat or dog would be.
There is seldom or never any love be-
tween them; and no matter how cruelty
she may be treated, she can never
complain to her husband of anything
his mother may do, for he would never
take his wife's part. Her husband sends
to her daily the portion of food that is
to be cooked for her, himself and the
children. When it is prepared she
places it on one large brass platter, and
it is sent to her husbands room. He
eats what he wishes, and then the plat
ter is sent back, with what is left, for
her and her children. They sit together
on the ground and eat the remainder,
having neither knives, forks, nor
spoons. While sheis young she is never
allowed to go anywhere.
The little girls are married as young
as three years of age; and should the
boy to whom such a child is married die
the next day, she is called widow,
and is from henceforth doomed to per-
petual widowhood-sh can never
marry again. AS widow, she must
never wear any jewelry, never dress
her hair, never sleep on bed, nothing
but piece of mating spread on the
hard brick floor, and sometimes, in
fact, not even that between her and the
cold bricks; and, no matter how cold
the night might be, she must have no
other covering than the thin garment
she has worn in the day.
She must eat but one meal a day,
and that of the coarsest kind of food;
and once in two weeks she must fast
twenty-four hours. Then not bit of
food nor drop of water or medicine
must pass her lips, not even if she were
dying. She must never sit down nor
speak in the presence of her mother-in-
law, unless they command her to do so.
Her food must be cooked and eaten
apart from the other women's. She is
a disgraced, degraded woman. She
may never even look on at any of the
marriage ceremonies or festivals. It
would be an evil omen for her to do so.
She may have been a high caste Brah-
mimic woman; but on her becoming q
widow, any, even the lowest servant,
may order her to do what they do not
like to do. No woman in the house
must ever speak one word of love or
pity to her, for it is supposed that, if a
woman shows the slightest commisera-
ton to widow. she viii Immediately
become one herself.
1t is estimated that there are eighty
thousand widows in India under six
years OF age Commercial Travellers,

The Captain.


heard a droll story the other dav
about company of little fellows who
were formed into club by their teacher.
She had planned great many delight
full things for the club to do. Thew
were to go on excursions, to play base
ball, to have regular military drills, and
/ don't know what else which bows take
pride and pleasure in.
But all the fine plans came to nothing,
Can you imagine why? When they met
to organize the club every boy wanted
to be Captain. Nobody would consent
to be in the ranks, and as all could not
command, the poor little teacher gave
up in despair.
1t is very well to be the Captain,
boys, but Aunt Marjorie wants YOU toI
remember that before one can lead one
must always Learn to obey orders. The,
great armies which have conquered i'll
the battles of the world have had
splendid soldiers to command them, but
they have also had columns of splendid
men, who were glad to do just as they
were told without the least delay, and
without any Sinking of duty. S..
. A person who wishes to be Captain
must learn, in the first place. to control
himself. You know what the Bible
says about this, do you not? He that
is slow to anger is better than the
mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit
than he that taketh q city, " He that
hath no rule over his own spirit is like
city that is broken down and without
walls"
A Captain who flies into rage or
gets into a fright whenever there are
difficulties in the way win never be able
to manage his forces. Control YOURSELF
and then you may hope to govern
others.
You see that though it is quite sim
pie, yet the office of leader has its grave
cares. Before you can guide you must
know how to follow, and before you
rule others you must have yourself IN
hand.
Then, too, you must learn a great
deal, and be quick to see what ought to-
be done and prompt in ordering it,.
King means the man who can do
thing, and when boy is Rex or King
on the playground, or at the picnic, or
in the school-room, you may make up
your mind that he is lad who can do
some things better than his comrades,
and of whom the other boys are proud.

About People Who Use Tobacco.

A tobacconist furnishes the following
as the result of observation of his Gus
toners: An even-tempered, quiet man
never goes to an extreme in choosing a
tobacco; a nervous man wants some
thing strong and furious; a mild man
something that smokes and nothing
more. There is great deal in the way
men handle their cigars. If man
smokes his cigar only enough to keep
it lighted, and relishes taking it from
between his lips to cast curl of blue
smoke into the air, set him down as
easy-going. He has keen perceptions
and delicate sensibilities. He will not
create trouble, but is apt to see it out
when it is once begun. Beware of the
man who never releases the cigar from
the grip of his teeth, and is Indifferent
whether it burns or dies. He is
cool, calculating, and exacting.
He is seldom energetic physical
~, but lives easily off Of those who per-
form the labor. A man who smokes a
bit. rests bit, and fumbles the cigar.
more or less is apt to be easily affected
by circumstances. If the cigar goes
out frequently the man has a whole
souied dlspoSltlon, is a deVll-may-care
sort of fellow, with lively brain and
glib tongue, and generally a fine fund
of anecdotes. To hold half the cigar
in the mouth and smoke indifferentlY is
lazy mans habit. They are generally
of little force, and their characters are
not of the highest strata. A nervous
man, or one under exciting influences,
fumbles his cigar great deal. He is
kind of popinjay among men. Holding
the cigar constantly between the teeth,
chewing it occasionally, and not caring
whether or not it has been lighted at
all, are characteristics of men with the
tenacity of bulldogs. They never forget
anything, and never release a hold.
The fop stands his cigar on end, and an
inexperienced smoker either points it
straight ahead or almost alright angles
with his eourse.-PaH Mall Gazette.

A KanakA Kills Shark In Hand.to.
Mouth Encounter.

Every soul on board crowded to the
side to witness the duel. It was bound
to be war to the death. One or both of
the combatants must die. The brute
was what is known as right shark.
and was about thirteen feet long His
black and shining back, set with sharp
fins, made me shudder and grow death
lY sick.
Ubukia met the first rush of the mon
ster by darling aside and letting the
huge hulk go by him. He made a
.unge with his sword at the tail as it
whisked past and thin line of blood
on the clear water told that his aim
had been a good one. While the shark
was near he SWAN with half his body
out of the water, taking good care that
his legs were never much below the
surface; but when it went by he dropped
to the neck and looked up at us
with grin on his coffee-colored face.
sttMe kill ump' he shouted.
The next rush was similar to the first,
bat this time, when the white belly
showed itself, Ubukia was beside it.
We saw the point of his sword-blade
enter its right eye, and then the native
diYed, coming up thirty yards away.
/ began to breathe easier now The
fellow carried himself in the water with
as much ease as the fish itself, and his
sword gave him an advantage, while
the sharks inability to use its Jaws
without turning over was another point
in his favor.
The fish seemed to be fairly mad.
dened by the last wound, and we could
see its dorsal fin. ripping through the
water for second, and then it went
down out of sight, leaving nothing but
the Kanaka visible on the wide stretch
of water. If the sight of the monster
was horrible, how much worse was its
disappearance. We did not know now
upon what side of the devoted swimmer
it would come up and we held our
breath, waiting as one waits when a
diver has been under water for long
time and every minute seems an hour.
The grin had left the natives face
and he kept whirling about like a tee
toetum, ready to meet the attack at any
point.
After the lapse of few minutes the
familiar fin came into sight again, and
Ubukia's body rested with his eyes on
the enemy. There was no rushing on
the sharks part now. 1t advanced
slowly, ready to swerve with the slight
est motion of the native. Itseemed de-
termined to approach him so slowly
that its momentum could not possibly
carry it past him. He waited until it's
muzzle was not ten feet from him, and
then, assuming the aggressive, he
darted forward. buried his blade~to the
hilt in its eye, and then swan leisurly
to the ship.
For ten minutes the water within O
radius of many yards was dashed into a
white foam by the dying struggles of
the monster. At times he would throw
himself completely out of water, show
ing us the whole of his round, tapering
body and ugly mouth Finally, how
ever, be rested belly upward without a
motion, and Ubukia's face glistened
with pride.

A Romantic Story Told by Louis
KOSSuth.

The Vienna German Zeitung has pub
lished letter from Kossuth, addressed
to DR.. Cotuos, about his brilliant de-
Tense of the Jews in the Tizla Eszlar
affair. After congratulating the advo-
cate, the old dictator related an incl
dent that happened some thirty years
ago in the Neutr@r- Comitat.
"An individual named Bardos Sau-
dos, who hated the Jews" writes Kos
suth, chad become enamored of beau
tiful young Jewess called Julia Weiss.
He desired TO convert her and then take
her into his service.
Julia Weiss repulsed the man and
would listen to nothing he said. Some
time later Julia Berecs, young Chris
tian girl, one of Julia Weiss best
friends, disappeared. The Jewess was
inconsolable. Saudos had her brought
before him. and violently apostrophiz-
ing her, demanded to know the where
abouts of Julia Berecs
't'How should | know?' replied the
Jewess.
Where have you taken her?'
"'I?' said Julia, astonished.
"'1es, you. And since you dare not
avow it, I'll tell you. Julia Berecs is
lying yonder by the stone bridge, dead.
Twas you who struck her to death with

I'm vain the poor girl pleaded that
she knew nothing of the Talmud, or
scarcely how to read or write. She was
thrown into prison, passed before the
AsslZes, and was condemned to death.
Byreason of her youth her punishment
was COMMITTED to hard labor for life.
1.-TWO years had passed, and the poor
girl could not comprehend why she was
SO tortured. One day she was taken be-
fore the dtrectYfce of the prison, who
received her with great kindness and
the startling intelligence that she was
to be Immediately set free. At the same
time she was presented with a purse
OF twenty-five ducats as gift from the
emperor.
Sat the prison gate Julia Weiss en-
braced her family, who were awaiting
her there. Twas then they told her
that three weeks previously her perse-
cutor, Bartos Saudos, had been found
dead, and that in his pocket was dis
covered written confession, in which
he acknowledged having killed Julia
Berecs and having falsely accused the
young Jewess. He proclaimed Julia
Weiss innocence, and begged her to
pray for him. He also left his fortune
in legacy to her. Julia Weiss refused
that fortune.

4HlS Sl1oNS d UOGdI population III 1908
of 1,S59,685. The present population
is believed to be over 100000. By
the treaty of 1881, between the Argen-
tine Confederation and Chill, the latter
comedies to the former all the territory
east OF the crest of the eastern ridge of
the Andes, including small part of
Terra del Fuego, and the greater part
of Patagonia. The form of government
is republican. The Presidents elected
for six years by. an Electoral College,
composed of 1873 Representatives chosen
by the several States. The National
Congress is composed of Senate of
twenty-eight members, two from each
State or province, and a house of fifty
members, apportioned according to
population. There are five ministers,
viz, The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
the Interior. Finance, War and Educa-
ton. Each of the provinces has Gov
ernor and Legislature elected by a popu-
lar vote. A large part of this vast
country consists of rich, alluvial plains,
called pampas, similar to the prairies
of this country, with soil four or five
feet thick, formed for the most part,
like our prairie soil by the decay of
luxurious vegetation. Immense herds
of cattle and sheep are raised on these
grand prairies, furnishing the principal
exports, hides, tallow, wool and canned
meats. In 1881 the horned cattle were
estimated at 100000 head. and the
sheep at 100,000,000. The exports of
the country amounted to 500, 497. 423,
and the imports to $54,029,545. Most
of this trade is between Buenos Avres-
the capital, having population of
about 100000, and European, chiefly
English, ports. Twelve lines of steam
ers run to Europe, making the trip in
an average period of twenty -nine days.
The revenue for 1881 was 1924, 349, $50,
derived almost wholly from import and
export dues. The expenditures amount
ed to $26, TAT, 480, and the National debt
has grown to $107, 681, $50, aconsidera-
bic part of which is represented by
recent public improvements: railways,
bridges, roads, etc. There are now
about 1000 miles of railway and 10000
miles of telegraph in the country. The
laws recognize no difference between
natives and foreigners, and of late for
eign immigration, mostly from Spain
and Italy, has been flowing in at
steadily increasing rate, amounting
now to about $4,000 per annum.-

YOUNG NEEDLESS.

Young Needless is boy
Who lives in every town.
His name? Tis sometimes Jimmy Smith.
And sometimes Tommy Brown.
Young Needless goes to school
When he can find his hat.
Athome he loves to play at ball
When he can find his bat.
Of mittens, one is gone;
OF TubberS, two or more;
And on the very coolest day
He never shuts the door.
The hammers always lost;
The saw left on the ground;
And when he wants his button-hook
1t never can be found.
To buy piece of beef,
You send him to the shop;
He loses all the change he had,
And brings you mutton chop.
For all these careless things,
And more that could name,
Young Needless always feels quite sure
He never is to blame.
His father would despair,
But that this thing is true:
That forty years or so ago,
He was Young Needless, too.
