Monkey Miners.

Captain E. Metz tells a story of
the queer little animals who
work for him in the mines. He is
from Vermont, and fought in the
Union army during the rebellion and
settled in the south after the war.
His mines are situated near Chester
field, in South Caroliua, about twen-
ty miles off the railroad.
81 have twenty-four monkeys"
said he, employed about my mines.
They do the work well ef seven able
bodied men, and it is no reflection up
on the human laborers to say they
do q class of work a man cannot do
as well. In many instances they
lend valuable aid where a man would
be useless. They gather up small
pieces of quarts that would pass un-
noticed by the workman and pile
them up in little heaps that can
be easily gathered up in shovel and
thrown into the mill. They are ex-
ceedingly adept at catching the little
particles. Their sharp eyes never es-
cape the very things that the human
eyes would pass over"
"How did you first come to employ
them?"
when went to digging gold | had
two monkeys that were exceedingly
interesting pets. They were con-
stantly following me about the
mines, and one day I noticed they
were busily engaged in gathering up
little bits of quartz and arranging
them in piles. They seemed to enjoy
the labor very much and would go to
the mines every morning and work
there during the day. 1t did not
take me long to catch on to their value
as labOrers, for at that time our work
ingmen, who are mostly colored men,
were unskilled and oftentimes useless.
My two pets had not worked long be-
fore l decided to procure more. So ]
immediately imported number, aud
now have two dozen working daily in
and about my mines. It is exceed
ingly interesting to watch my two
pet monkeys teach the new ones how
to work, and strange to see how the
newcomers take to it."
"Strange to say they control them
selves. They work as they please,
sometimes going down into the mines
when they have cleaned up all the
debris on the outside. They live and
work together without quarreling
any more than men do. They are
quite methodical in their habits and
go to work and quit like true work
ingmen."

LOOK OUT FOR FIRE.

To Theater Owners. Managers and Whom il
May Concern:
This is to certify that have equipped the
Windsor theater in this city with the Lind
gren stationary chemical fire engines. After
examining all other systems of fire protection
and after repeated tests of the Lindgren sta
tiOnary chemical fire engine, and upon the re-
cOmmendatiOn of the insurance undsr-writ.
ers. have no hesitation in pronouncing il
the cheapest and most powerful, as we'll as
perfect, fire protection for theaters ever in
vented. In my opinion every theater ard
opera house in the United States, as well as
Europe, should be equipped with these chem
ical fire engines. and thus save the loss of life
and thousands OF dollars in property.

Tacoma, Wash. Sept. l9. 1899,
To Whom it May Concern;
This is to certify that |, George A. Burbank,
witnessed the exhibition of the Lindgren
chemical engine test to-day, and as L have
witnessed great many such chemical tests
in New York City, Boston, Mass, and other
large cities in the East, Y hereby state that it
was the quickest and most satisfactory test.
and was also pronounced so by two Of our
cOuncilmen and all the citizens present, and
will also state that the time of applying the
chemical was left entirely to me and | did not
give the word until the fire was well started,
for in other tests have witnessed they have
always put the chemical on the minute the
fire was started and water would answer just
as well. as there was nothing but the fame
started and the wood not charred, and take
great pleasure in recommending the Lind
gren'' as far superior to any other Chemical
engine on the market.
