SHE WAS THRIFTY.
One Woman Made $4,000 with Thrash
ing Machine.

A woman thrasher is a novelty-that
is, outside of the schoolhouse or home.
And the one in question is genuine
thrasher of the golden grain of the
northwest, says The Minneapolis Jour
nal. She came into one of the Minneap-
oils farm machinery houses the other
day to make her final payment on her
machine. This was startling and
marked her as a woman of business ca
pacity; for the man who makes a full
payment on thrasher this season is re-
yarded as an exceptionally good man.
That the lady inquestion had business
head is further evidenced by the fact
that she succeeded in working the
manager of the establishment for $3.50,
the amount of her fare home.
She innocently told him that to pay
her bill in full would take every cent
she had and she must take out enough
to get home. While the manager gen
tly demurred at receipting the bill in
full with this discount off, she ingen-
iously limited that it would cost more
than $3.50 to send a collector after the
balance, and he tumbled to the situa-
ton as gracefully as possible. Mrs.
Thrasher Tor perhaps it is Miss) said
that she had made $4,000 out of her ma
chine and had 167 stacks of grain TO
finish this winter, which she proposed
to do if the snow was hub deep. Consid-
ering the fact that many machines are
being taken back on mortgages this
year, no one can successfully maintain
that woman is not adapted to this new
field for woman's activity.

4 Bailied Rooster.

j peculiar experience is recorded of
chickens taken up to Alaska, when the
days and nights in summer are of
about equal length-six months. 1t
seems that this flock of hens was COM
manded by a stalwart patriarch of a
rooster, who assumed enough dignity
for Il harem three or four times the
size that he commanded. These
chickens were taken up by late
steamer and liberated on shore, when
they at once proceeded to make them
selves at home. All p. m. the rooster
took the suns attitude, shook his head
when he saw how high it was, and
evidently thinking his clock was out
OF order, continued to lead his flock in
search OF food. At 10 p. m. he took
another sight and then became more
muddled than ever, and so on during
the night. Every once and % while
he would look mp as much as to say,
"What in thunder have I struck, any
.how?" The rooster kept waiting for
night until the third day, at which
time the hens succumbed. The roost-
er kept looking for the night he had
lost until the fourth day, when he
found a small piece Of night on the
north side Of tree, where he mount
ed limb and closing his eyes in the
shadow, tried to deIude himself into
the belief that it was the kind of night
he had been accustomed to from the
time he was hatched-Olympia Stand

TURNS OUT BEssEMER STEEL
Oxide Successfully Extracted from Rock by
Edison with the Use of Electricity.


Edison with the Use OF Electricity.
When Thomas Edison began expert
menting with electricity as means Of
extracting iron oxide from rock 4
shiver ran through the spinal columns
of iron mine owners. Then the matter
was forgotten and the public heard
nothing more about magnetic separat-
ors until a few days ago, when the
news came out that the method was
not only perfected, but that by it 5000
tons of bessemer steel were being
turned out every day at Edison, n. j.
Mr.. Edison has been developing his
newest discovery quietly, and now his
smelling works and their appurtenant
buildings cover many acres among the
Jersey mountains. The rock is blast
ed out of open quarries, 5000 tons at a
time, and carried by enormous electric
cranes to rollers which crush the
largest powders as if they were lump
sugar. After passing through Sc
ries of these rollers the fine rock falls
past 700 magnets, which extract the
ere, sending it along to the furnaces al
most free from, eXtraneous matter.
From the furnaces the ore issues in
nuggets of bessemer steel ready for the
mills.

Evanescent Regulations OF Persons Who
Fitted on the Stage.


Theatrical reputation is the most
evanescent of all glories of life," sadly
observed the cid actor, drawing his last
summers overcoat around him a little
tighter, according to the New York
Herald.
That's so,' responded the agent,
land nothing reminds one of this more
than an acquaintance with the bill
rooms of the old theaters about the
country. You know they have a way
of posting up bills and Autographs in
the bill-rooms-that part Of the theater
in which the. bills are laid out, and
which is the lounging place of the trav-
cling agents, the billposters, advertis-
ing men, etc., and preserving a sort of
record of the celebrated actors, com
panies and scenes that have been at
that particular house. sometimes this
is done Systematically, with an idea for
general pictorial effect, and then looks
very pretty. But more often it is the
freak of some billposter, who slaps up
full length figure, or a lithograph
head, OF something grotesque, thcwhole
cOl1eCLIOn lOIIHjUS cufIOuS anu some
times nightmarish tumble.
in the older bill-rooms will be seen
pictures of bygone favorites of the
American stage-of many persons who
were famous the other day and who to-
day are quite forgotten. They are
usually represented in their favorite
costume and part. Some Of these were
the rage but few years ago-drew big
salaries and had everything their own
way. There are women who actually
queened it over the whole country
made thousands and drank champagne
and wore princess diamonds. Why,
their very names are forgotten! I am
not an old-timer, though I'm familiar
with the stage, and tell you I've been
actually startled suddenly to come
across these pictures on the bill-room
| walls, and to be thus reminded what
they had been, and to be set to thinking
| what had become of them!"

A Stamp Mill for Olympic Ore.

The Port Townsend Call says that
all the settlers OF Brinnon, Jefferson
county, are busy mining in the neigh
boring Olympics, and that they are
making good wages. So we'll satisfied
are they with their employment, that
the county surveyor could not secure
men to assist in surveying county
road in the neighborhood at $3.50 per
day.
The Call also says that man nam
ed Gordon, residing in Tacoma, but
who has for some months past been
prospecting in the hills, left suddenly
recently and all the people "opined"
that he had given up in disgust. They
were mistaken, however, for he return
ed on Monday last, astonishing the
"oldest inhabitant" with the informa-
tion that be had been away to order a
small stamp mill that was now on the
road to Brinnon from the east, and
with the assistance Of which he hoped
to soon make fortune working the
ore from claim he had discovered
some time ago, and which proved on
being assayed to be free-mllling gold
ore going $3.50 to the ton. as ore
running much lower than that can be
worked to good profit, the wisdom Of
Mr.. Gordon's project is apparent to
everyone.
As soon as the small project has
been carried out it will be possible foE
every small miner in the vicinity te
make good money on his claim At
present there is very little left for the
worker after counting in his time, ex-
penses and exhorbitant local freight
charges with which he must con tend
in order to get his ore to mill Tor fe-
duction purposes.

Peacock Ore Discovered in the Sixties

MoNTEsANo, May THE knowledge
that there are precious minerals to be
found in the Olympics does not come
as matter of news TO some OF the old
pioneers. Prospectors, with their
mining tools, their blow-pipes and
crucibles trayersed the hills and can
yons west Of Hood canal in the early
sixties and found evidence that there
was mineral-bearing rock there, but
many of the methods now in use for
reducing low grade ores had not then
been discovered, and it was thought
that the ores OF that region were not
| of sufficient richness to pay for work
ing. The same class OF ore is now
making the ROSsland, B. c., country
world known.
In June of 1867 J. n. Baker, now an
| old pioneer, we'll known all over West
ern Washington, and having his home
i'll Montesano, accompanied \. w.
Prltchard on prospecting trip into
the Olympics. They started in at the
mouth of the Lilliwaup, working west
ward and northward through what
was at that time an unknown and
painless wilderness. They spent about
six weeks on the trip, operating prin-
cipally in the foothills of what is
known as Mount Ellinor, going over
and working some on the Mount Steel
side OF the divide between that noun
tain and Mount Ellinor.
They found indications of mineral
all through that section, and in the
region where Lieut.. O'Neill found
such strong indications Of copper that
he named his camp Cooper Camp"
they discovered rock very rich in cop
per. All through that section they
found mineral-bearing float which
bore ali the now well-known character
istics of peacock ore," but it was on
the divide between the two mountains
previously spoken OF that the best
prospects acknowledgements which
would at the present day be eagerly
followed up.
One day, while Pritchard was laid
up with lame foot, Baker decided tC
follow up some float which he had
found and discover its source, If he
could. He did so, and found the ledge
from which it came at the head Of {
deep ravine or canyon. The ledge a;
near as he could estimate, was about
fifteen feet in depth and eight fee
wide A landslide had uncovered it SC
that it could be distinctly seen. He
took some of the best specimens bacA
to camp, and Pritchard made an assay
and pronounced them quite rich il
copper, iron, gold and lead, but said
that there was no method known 10y
which it could be successfully treated
Since the discovery of the Rossland
mines Mr.. Baker has carefully studied
the characteristics OF the ores Of that
region, and has had the opportunity
to examine some OF the specimens
and says that they are identical with
those Of the Olympic outcroppings
iron capped, and showing strongly the
copper and iron carried.
It should be stated that Pritchard
was an old and experienced miner anC
prospector, having operated in bott
the Cariboo and California mines, anc
that Baker has since had considerable
experience in mining matters.-Posf
