TN, T,,rro FOOLS.

Once upon time there were three fools; q
great big fool, and middle sized fool, and
tiny little bit Of fool. These three were
women contemplating marriage with men
whose paths were crooked.
The woman who was little bit OF fool
married man who drank. Her friends
warned her, naturally, and the general puo'
lie prophes!ed but she rlsked II. Then began
the official programme. Cheerful home,
good meals, fragrant coffee, bright open

the end he was reclaimed. He was really.
Moreover, he stayed SO.
The n.ddlc-sized fool married man whose
taste was not so much for wine as for women
and song He liked them best as combined
in light opera. 1t requires woman OF grea'
sweetness of temper and infinite tact to man

fact Mr.. Boyer, the superintendent OF

he was sure OF, success. The owners
of the Ella e. are negotiating with
regard to this mine. The Or estts is
shut down. They encountered such q
deluge of water that they were unable
to handle it to any advantage with
their whim. They are SO we'll satis-
fed with their claim that they propose
to put an expensive plant Of machinery
on it and continue development work.

Heating Iron to . white Heat IN . Paii
of Water.
! Raising iron or steel to Welding
heat by plunging it into q bucket Of
water is one OF the more recent cleo
trical accomplishments which has
excited no end Of interest and ad-
miration. It has been applied in q
practical way as an everyday sub.
stitute for the time.honored forge
fire. At tho Edison Illuminating
company's station at Brooklyn. N.
y, the "water-pail FORGE" as 1t has
been aptly named, can be seen In
daily operation, and the practical
value OF its astonishing perform
auces has there been demonstrated
beyond all doubt.
Across the top OF an ordinary
wooden water bucket rests bar OF
iron, to which the negative pole OF q
dynamo is attached by wire. The
other pole of the machine is connect
cd with plate OF copper In the bot
tom OF the bucket 10 bring the
end OF any desired bar Of iron or
steel to welding heat, all that is
necessary is to rcst it against the bar
across the top OF the bucket and to
dip the point into the water within.
This closes the electric current, and
in n few moments tho bar becomes
hot enough to be readily worked
under q blacismith's hammer What
actually happens whom tho circuit is
closed is this: The water in the
bucket. under tho action OF the pass
ing current, Immediately begins to
decompose into its component gases,
oxygen and hydrogen, and the latter
adheres in film to the submerged
part of the metal bar, protecting it
from contact with the surrounding
water.
If now tho electric current were
not very strong 1t would cease to
dow, because OF the break in the
circuit made by the hydrogen ac.
cumulation. With u sufficient
strength of current, however, the
resistance OF the hydrogen envelope
is overcome, and in doing this heat
is developed, sufficient in this case
to quickly bring the end OF the bar
to a white heat. That the water
does not quench the bar is readily
explained by the fact that tho by
drogen film prevents the two from
coming into actual contact. How
great tho possibilities Of this water
pail forge are can easily be imagined

Tho Purchase of tho Terrible.

Captain De la Mar recently gave the
following account Of how he came to
buy the Terrible mine in Custer
county: :
81 was riding horseback when l
came upon two Missourians who were
working a shaft about seventy feet
deep. l asked them what they .cx,,
pected to get there, and they laughed
amt your they asked. About as
green as they make EN-, l said.

we never saw lead mine that didn't
have the same surface croppings US
this pointing to a substance tn at
somewhat resembled rock salt. It's
here, and we think we've got a leac
mine, but haven't struck her yet
II asked them what they called the
substance and they said it was baryta.
l felt pretty sure 1T wasn't baryta, but
said nothing and the men returned to
their work. put some of the sup
posed baryta in valise carried, rode
over into ncighboring canon, and
prepared to test it. / made fire OF
dry oak sticks. built little bank Of
earth around it, and sat down to await
developments. After awhile thin
streams of something white began to
run from the midst of the fire and
halted at my little earthen embank-
ment. Then l knew that it was crys..
tallized lead that l had found, and
that while the men down in the shaft
were looking for the lead ore, they
had let .the crystallized stuff pass
"Well, I stayed there two days, and
became owner Of the Terrible by put
ting up 81, 500 cash. There was big
competition among the smelters Just
then for lead, but L took it easy,
erected an automatic reduction works,
which six men could handle, and kept
piling up lead on the dumps. Pretty
soon the Omaha and Grapt smelter
people saw themselves in box. All
the lead in the State had been bought
up except mine, and they would have
to shut down if they could not get
lead. So sold the Terrible to them
for S13O, 200.

Mining at Aspen,

While silver continues to be quoted
at rather low figures it ID not to be in
ferred that work is altogether aband-
oned in the silver districts, especially
where no gold is carried in the ores.
The Aspen SIN, in recent review of
that camp, counts the active force at
519 min srs on days wages, and 57l
miners working on leased ground.
This excludes office men and all who
are not strictly miners. One out of
every three of the leasers is working
on pay, which swells the number Of
paid men to 676 and reduces the actual
leasers to 3l4. The wages paid the
676 men, allowing 50. 25 per day, about
the average, makes $46, $50 per month.
Some leasers make money and some
fail, but still, in the estimation of the
San, the amount of money distributed
is greater this year than it was last.
The loss in profit on the ores is the
item which pinches the district.

500 per stamp, and this, too, in spite
of the fact that the Denver manufac-

for the decline in the cost Of mills.
