LUCK IN MINING.

Two Blasts that Showed Miner WheI
He Made His Mistake.
Zone man cannot see as far into the
ground as another said John Pritchard
of Aspen yesterday, land there isn't
little bit of truth in the saying that he
can when applied to mining operations.
Thousands of instances might be
brought forward to prove my position,
and | learned the lesson very early III
my mining career. The Tom Boy story
is an illustration of this Everybody
thought J. Ernest Waters was wild to
spend so much money on it, and yet 1t
is today being negotiated for $2.50O.O00,
after paying more than 100000 in div
idends in less than two years.
Il was down in the San Juan country
in 1881, and had Il claim over on Sultan
Mountain, which | called the Jessie 1t
was a promising crevice, and l worked
at it faithfully until | had expended
nearly $500, mainly for grub and pow
quently working fifteen hours day.
Then l sent home and father sent me
$500 more. which I used up. BY that
time | had been at work nearly two
years, and had driven my tunnel in about
200 feet. every inch of it with my own
hands, Then [ became discouraged. as
l knew father had mortgage on the old
more. l got credit for $1O0 and kept at
work, driving the tunnel fifty feet fur
Their, and then | felt that was at the
end Of my rope.
"One day as I was gathering up my
tools to quit, nicely dressed man saun-
tered up to the tunnel and began to look
around. He asked to see the tunnel,
which was mostly in solid rock without
timbering, and after he had closely eX-
amined both walls asked me if | wanted
to sell. l feigned Indifference, and, after
calculating 25O feet of tunneling at $40
a FOOT. answered that I might sell if
got my price. We'll, what's your price! 2
he asked Twenty-Five hundred dollars,
l replied with my heart in my mouth.
money! was the answer, and that night
l slept with $500 under my pillow, in
clean sheets for the first time in two
years. Next morning the purchaser
asked me to help him put in a couple of
shots. and of course | agreed. When
we got to the tunnel he examined the
wall and selected a point about 100 feet
from the mouth. Lets drill a couple of
holes here he said. The minute he laid
hold of the sledge | saw he was miner,
and in a short time we had two beauti-
full holes in the rock. When the shots
went off | could hardly restrain myself
from rushing into the tunnel at once, and
first on the spot And there lay body
of ore exposed which was afterward
found to be three feet thick. and ran ov-
er 800 to the ton. I had LETT the vein,
and the superior knowledge of my pur-
chaser had enabled him to detect the
point of departure.
Il stayed around there a week, by
which time he had taken out enough ore
to pay for the cost of the mine, and then
| went home and paid off the mortgage
on the farm. and I've got the farm yet,
though | am still mining. More than
$4,000 was taken on, of that hole, and
then the vein was lost and has never
been found since. Denver Republican.

HER LIFE SAVED.
MISS LILLE MANNING CURED OF
A SERIOUS AFFLICTiON.

For Several Months, ON Account of
Heart Trouble, She Was Unable to
Walk Upstairs, Except Very Slowly
She at Last Finds Com p1ete Recovery
From the Ne,os. Wash6urn WIS,
"My only daughter, Lille, aged 16
years, was, until about a year ago, trou-
bled very badly with her heart" said
Mrs. Thomas Manning, of Washburn,
Wis, to a reporter recently. IF she
ly and she would be all tired out when
she got half way up. She was unable to
do any sweeping or washing, or in fact
any work at all requiring any eXertion
whatever We spent many dollars for
medicine and doctors advice, until finally
we were told she was incurable, and that
they could do nothing which would be of
permanent benefit to her. She was grad
ually but surely getting worse, and in
fact after we had tried almost everything
we could think of without relief, we made
up our minds there was no hope for her.
Zone day my son read an advertise
ment Of Pink Pills for Pale People and
said: Mother, why not get box of these
for Iillie?' 1 said: oh, it's no use;
as ever He finally persuaded me to try
them, and as the pills are only 50 cents
a box concluded to do so, but with little
hope that they would relieve her after SO
many other remedies had failed and the
doctors had thought her cure hopeless.
To our glad surprise, however, she show
ed an improvement from the start, and
two boxes transformed her from sickly,
ailing child into a perfectly healthy,
strong girl. This was over year ago,
and she has no signs Of return of her
trouble, and is as strong, healthy and
vigorous as the average girl of her age,
and can now be Of great help to me in
the Homework. l firmly believe we owe
her life to these pills and know that in
her case they did all that was claimed
for them. l cheerfully recommend these
pills, knowing what they have done in
our home"

Where Ships Knees Come From.

A man who hunts through the Maine
forests at nearly all seasons of the year
is the ship-knee expert. Since the de-
cline of shipbuilding in this country, and
the introduction of iron and steel vessels,
the demand for ship-knees has dwindled
considerably, but there are enough used
in the shipyards along the coast to keep
several hundred men busy hunting for
ship-knees Very few trees will yield
the proper timber for this work, and ex-
perts are constantly tramping through
the Maine woods to mark trees that will
answer the demands of the trade. When
a good hackmatack or white oak suit
able for the shipbuilding trade is found,
the expert either marks the tree or cuts
it down Immediately. The knees are
cut and seasoned and shipped to the
coast roughly hewn out, but for large
ones the experts receive enough to make
any amount of trouble in securing them
profitable The cypress knees of the
South Atlantic states have in recent
years injured the business of the Maine
men, but the demand for knees suitable
for yachts and small coasting vessels is
such that the experts are never at a loss
to sell their seasons products, even
though sometimes at relatively small fig

TIE RAT-TRAP LIGHT.
French Naval Officers Consider It a
Wonderful Invention.

Wonderful Invention.
Quite recently there has been brought
out by the French navy a mysterious de-
vice known as ia ratiere," or the frat
trap light" says an exchange. It is a
thing of small dimensions and is placed
on the deck of the vessel. 1t throws out
an electric light that can only be discov-
cred dead ahead. L. ratiere is con-
structed as follows: A square box has
within it at one end concave mirror, in
front of which is adjusted an arc light.
The light is focused upon a piano-convex
lens placed midway of the length of the
box, so that the rays of light are project
ed through a silvered tube as a bundle
of parallel rays.
silyered tube are placed two prisms, one
of red and the other of green glass,
through which portion of the. light
passes in divergent rays. At n distance
of several miles the light of a ratiere
appears as a small point and consequent
ly difficult of detection to those not know
ing the quarter in which to look for it.
It's detection is thus reduced to a mini
mum, as it can only be seen within a
radius Of few feet at such distance.
The use of the red and green rays is
for the purpose of enabling the vessel
for whom the signal is intended to know
in which direction to steer so as to come
within the zone of the white light should
the white ray disappear. By means of
this invention night signals can be made
when flashlights and rockets might be
useless or liable to betray the position of
the fleet to the enemy. 1t can also be
used as a guide to a squadron in line,
with all other lights out, in dangerous
ATTITUDES, as it cannot be seen either to
the right or left. but only dead ahead or
dead astern. The French admiralty at
taches great Importance to this light, and
has taken extraordinary precautions to
guard it against discovery.
