Mrs. Sutton, who was fatally burned
at Hartstein's island, near the mouth
of Budd's inlet, died Sunday. She
was heating some alcohol on a stove,
when it ignited. Her clothing caught
fire and the house was burned to the
ground. She was rescued by her
father, whose hands were burned to
crisp. She died from the shock.
Arcadia is becoming something of a
summer resort. Mrs. Wilson has re-
turned to live there, and Rev. Buck
and family, of Olympia, are enjoying
the vacation at the Spit.

The Lake Cnshman Copper Mines.

LAKE CusnMAN, Aug. 2-Thc copper
leads in the SkOkomish b pttom, above
Lake Cushman, were first discovered in
September, 1888, by J. ID. Dow and A. H.
Rose, of Mason county. Several claims
were located but nothing was done toward
developing the mines until this spring,
only occasional trips being made there by
the various claim owners In March, 1890,
the Mason County Mining and Develop
ment company was organized with F. Ii.
WhitwOrth of Seattle president, and G. nj
Brooks of Union City secretary, the COM
pany being composed of claim holders in
the copper belt
Since March the development of the
mines has been pushed as rapidly as it
possibly could be. A fine trail has been
cut and graded from Hoodsport to the
mines, distance Of some Is miles; two
large camps have been built and quanti-
ties of explosives, mining tools aud sup.
plies carried thither. A shaft is being sunk
and gausefmen are, at present writing.
hard at work blasting andworking out the
rich red ore, cleaning with its yellow
freight Outside of the company Is claims
have been located, many of them now
being worked.
A Grays Harbor company, headed by
Mr.. John S. Soule, controlling seven of
them.
The ore is a porous iron ore, containing
copper in all its veins, with pockets of the
black oxide OF manganese. Several ex-
haustive analyses of the ore have been
taken at the expense of the company, both
IN Seattle and Philadelphia, which have
shown an exceedingly rich copper ore
containing both native copper and the
oxides, red and black, which should bring
a mint of money to the fortunate owners
of claims. The leads belonging to the
company are as follows: "Hoodsport,"
1900 feet, with 22O foot VEN; Sheriff"
1900 feet, 40 foot vein; Mascot" 5000
feet. $50 foot vein; "Olympic." 1900 feet,
4 foot vein; "John Mac" 1900, width of
vein unknown; 80. X" 1900 feet, 50 foot
vein, and the Dakota" 1900 feet, with
300 foot vein. The company are daily
expecting large shipment of dynamite
from Seattle, and as soon as it arrives
work will: be pushed with still greater
vigor Within few weeks a smcller will
be started at "Hoodsport;" also a narrow
guage railroad to the mines, and our
| readers may in the near future expect to
see scOw loads of the purest copper land
ed on the Seattle wharves for shipment TO
the various factories where the valuable
metal is used In a succeeding letter
will send maps Of the mines with still
further particulars-F. J. Church, in Sc

THE END.


The mistake of cutting out the inside
Of peach trees is noted as quite general
one by California Fruit Grower, which
advises the following plan for producing
the evenly balanced, rounded head that
. peach tree should have at its best:
When the tree is planted three to five
branches should be started twelve to
eighteen inches from the ground. These
should be trained 30 that there will be
central branch or body to the tree, from
which there should radiate at intervals
sufficient branches to form a symmetri-
cal head. The side branches which are
formed should not be cut back near the
base of the main branches, but the new
growth should be shortened in from one
third to one-half each year. Care should
be taken that such branches as cross or
are liable to split off are removed in their
incipient stage. II the trees are properly
trained, cutting, other than what can be
done with the pruning shears, will not
be necessary. Extra strong shoots should
be shortened in the most, for if allowed
to grow at will they will detract from the
symmetry of the tree and vigor of their
fellows. Peach trees should be shortened
back from the outside in and from the
top down, at the same time doing such
thinning as is necessary. Leave the in
side alone when it is once in shape. Low
heads are preferable to high ones for
several reasons. They shade the roots
and main trunk and make it easier to
prune and gather the fruit. In shorten
ing back the branches care should be
taken to leave leaf bud next to the cut,
as fruit bud left at that point will pro-
duce an inferior fruit and a stub will be
left. This annual cutting in of the fruit
producing growth reduces the number
of fruits materially and the entire vigor
of the tree is thrown into the remaining
fruit. which naturally grows to larger
size and better flavor. The foliage of the
tree has much to do with the quality Of
the fruit. II large, handsome, rich foil
age is produced, the fruits are much
more apt to be of fine quality.

Opera Glasses Should Fit

Very often one gets fine opera glass,
takes it to the theatre with lively antici-
patton of pleasure, and then he has the
whole evening spoiled by what seems to
be the perverseness Of the glass. No mat
ter how much it is screwed and adjusted
1t won't focus. The glass is looked upon
as the cause. This is an error. Most
frequently it will be discovered that the
glass is too narrow for the eyes or too
wide. In either case imperfect vision,
overtaxed eyes and headache will fol-
low the use Of the glass. Opera glasses
should tit the eyes as well as spectacles.
A glass is made that can be folded so as
to fit any eye, and that should be used by
those who don't own pair of glasses
fitted to them by an optician.-St. Louis

An ingenious Minneapolis man has per-
fected machine which takes the "edg-

matically makes them up into picket
fence. The boards are trimmed into the
shape of pickets and then the machine
binds them with wire. The machine
makes 120 pickets per minute. Those
who are up in fence matters predict that
this new fence, called the combination
fence, is destined to supplant barb wire.

Orlando repeated his friends word in
surprise.
When he re-entered the studio, Teresa,
bent under the lamp and perched like a
child upon the arm Of q chair, was turn
ing over the leaves of picture book and
smiling, showing her white teeth with
that beautiful italian smile which con-
trasts with the melancholy Of the eyes.
Then, a. he contemplated thiS Artless
pleasure, this feminine grace, thoughts
and memories crowded thickly uponhim.
Something hitherto closed was opening
in his heart; the careless boy suddenly
made way for the man, with his pro-
found comprehensions, bringing an en-
tirely new emotion.
She laughed innocently at the painted
images. He started.
One after another he counted the real
izations that had come to him through
her, without any effort on his part to de-
serve them, without any voluntary re-
turns of happiness for happiness, without
a word of thanks for the goodness that
she scattered with open hands upon his
pathway with a beautiful generosity full
of self denial.
How small he felt beside herl He un.
derstood the grandeur of this soul, a
pure sun whose rays warmed the senti-
ments around her. And suddenly his
voice trembled.

She rose Immediately; the sound of hil
voice had astonished her; her husband
was holding out his arms. She rushed
into them; then, clasping his head in heI
hands, she looked at him. What did she
read in that masculine face, now ma
tured? The gleam of the night illumi.
mated his proud head and showed his
features in clear outline. 1t had showed
upon his hair. Never had Teresa seen
him as Mt this moment, and, plunging
her eyes into the dreamy eyes of this new
man, the young woman understood al
last. Bending her head upon her hus.

lifted to the Madonna the first cry Of heI
bewildered happiness.

heart, "he loves mel"
And then she remembered her vow;
she had promised to do something thai
would please her protecting saint.

ise you to be kind to him who does moi
live"
And, sure then that her heavenly pa
troness was pleased, she glided her head
under the pale face of her husband.
For the first time he put into the kisa
of his lips the caress Of a marvellous love
like that of his wife; he said for the frs,
