BARREN Spots IN VEINS

There never was Il lode which
did not have barren ground on its
surface, says the Denver Mining
tnGustr and Cf Ell nin,t ien-
twentieths is barren. Ia fact we
have seen many a good mine whose
pay ore chute came to the surface
along only ten, twenty or thirty
feet. Now, the lesson in this fact
for every pruspector is one Wa.
have repeated over and over again,
and, Judging from common prac-
tice among prospeetors, it ts one
which cannot be repeated too often.
1t is, prospect your lode all along
its full length, on the surface. to
find if possible pay chute of ore.
III you find a pay chute there is
the place for your shaft. There
are thousands Of iodes IN Colorado
and New Mexico on which there
has been no development except
single prospect or location shafts,
and the most OF them show only
barren rock or very poor ore, The
balance of the 500 feet OF the
lodes is probably covered with
DRIFT, and whether any chute Of
pay comes to the surface is wholly
unknown. The only thing to do
in thess cases Is for the owners la
open The vein all along the surface
IN hunt for pay. After we who
are here now are dead and forgot
ten, many n one of these old, idle
and deserted discoveries will be
pr ,ected along its apex, and
prove to be rich thing. Many a
prospector is idling away bis time,
waiting for some one TO come along
who will buy his claim or sink for
an interest, who is letting fortune
lie idle, simply because he will not,
prospect along the apex Of his
discovery. There never was a
more insane, ridiculous or foolish
idea than the one so prevalent
among prospectors that one must
always sink to find pay. In a
tissure vein or lode, il one can't
I-6hd pay on the surface, it is a
good thing to let alone. Let it 60

more faith than knowledge.

FOR POWDER SMOKE.

Having been greatly troub-
led with the vapors arising
from continued explosions OF
giant powder in driving a tun-
mel on a Southern I tah mining
property, one of the pioneer
mining men of that territory
has just discovered very
valuable neutrallzer for the
smoke and noxious fumes
which would cling to the tun-
mel despite the presence of
ventllating llues. He called
some scientific knowledge pos
sessed by him into play and as
a result now has little or no
trouble with the vapors. With
an ordinary fruit tree spray
pump the foreman in the tunnel
blows lime water into the hang
ing smoke and gases, and the
lime neutraliges the latter o
such an extent that the tunnel
is rapidly cleared and the men
may return to their work at the
face. The lime water is made
by Stacking a small quantity o;
lime in a bucket of water, and
OF the latter but a small quan-
tity is needed at each spraying.

Right about us, by our roadsides, are
growing some curious and beautiful

Even now the leaf buds are beginning
to swell, and it is of great interest to watch
them as they unfold. Notice them before

what they have worn to protect them

Hereditary Appetite.

The ablest lawyer whom l ever kilcw
and that is saying great deal-cane
from family where the men had for
generations all died drunkards at an
early age. This gentleman, who had ev-
cry advantage of education, was inor
dinatcIy ambitious and possessed of abil-
ity which amounted to genius, deter
mined to reverse the family history. His
process was to give his days and nights
to the most exhaustive labor in the pros
ccution of his profession. At 45 he was
retained i'll every case within goo miles
of the village where he practiced, and a
supreme court judgeship was to be his
at the first vacancy. He had a wife to
whom he was devoted, and most in
tcrt sting family of children. Those who
knew the story of his heredity thought
he had outlived and out2rown its curse,
bat at + :, after trial i'll which he had
hran almost sleeplessly engaged for three
weeks he cndeavored to recuperate by
the aid OF brandy and went on a pro-
longed spree. From then until he died
he was never sober His clients left him,
he abandoned his family, settled II a
remote part of the country and died in
two years. .Chauncey NJ. Depew.

The Courtship of NIyles Standish.

Longfellow, in 1858, published 1.-The
Courtship of Myles Standish." In this
he told no pathetic tale of parted lovers,
nor did he draw on the quaint lore Of the
red men; he took his story from the
annals of his own ancestors, the sturdy
founders of New England. AS it hap
pened, he himself dixie his fellow poet,
BryanD was direct descendant of John
Alden and Priscilla, the Puritan maiden,
whose wooing he narrated.
"The Courtship of Myles Standish" is
only less popular than its predecessors,
"EVangeline" and "Hiawatha all three
have been taken to heart by the Ameri-
can people, all were composed during the
brightest years of the poets life, when

when he was in the full possession of his
powers, and had already achieved fame

Intemperance and Lunacy.

An article in The Good Templar g
Watchword gives the sad record of lun-
acy in Great Britain at the present time.
The writer finds an alarming increase,
the present proportion being l to S26
inhabitants compared to l to $50 i'll

COZ. Twenty per cent Of the patients
among the men are directly attributable
to their Incorporate habits, and per
cent are among the women. This per-
centage would be largely increased by
those cases which could be indirectly
traced to alcoholism.
