ore all prospects and part of it is
very rich. A great advantage in
mining in that locality is that the
veins can be tapped at any desired
depth, consequently saving the
cost of very expensive machinery
needed in working mines in the
basin. Another advantage is that
that the snowfall being much less
than at this altitmde, the claims
can be worked to advantage at any
season of the year.

Women on Wheels In War.

One of London's daily papers recently
published n letter signed: "A Colonel's
Wife" in which the proposition is made
in all seeming seriousness that should
the prophecies of continental combina-
tions against England be realized, the
duties of the army in the rear may be
performed by lady cyclist orderlies.
The colone's wife announces herself
prepared to assist in the organization
OF lady cyclist corps, to help resist
our many enemies" Womankind has
no means of knowing how England
will receive such proposition, but in
America, for the most part, woman is
willing to let man, the devil, and
dynamite do the killing, and she busics
herself in caring for the wounded, or
in sending Clara Barton to rescue
the oppressed deserted by civilization.
