mentally, of all the children of the late
Comte de Paris. She married when
quite girl, and has lived away from
France for many years. but has ever
remained true Orleanist, and hopes
that her brother may yet become king
OF the French. The queen makes over
her own hats and bonnets. She has
workroom in the palace at Lisbon. and
she can copy a Paris model to perfec-
ton. She is a very handsome woman.
Her fair hair and clear skin make her
look still quite young in a country
where women age with painful rapid
ity. She is passionately devoted to
her two sons, and If only for their
sake, she will exert all her knowledge
of the world and inborn ability to save
Portugal from the progressive changes
which promise to make its people free
and leave monarchy without foothold
in its sunny cline. Dom Carlos, her
husband, has great faith In the wisdom
Of the queen. and it is by her advice
that one or the other of the heads of
the royal family is ever in the coun-
try. This resolution imposes many
privations on the queen, who would.

Probability That Many of Them VIII Shut
Down.
The report has been current for some
time that arrangements are being perfect
ed for general closing down of the sill
yer mines at Aspen. 1t Is stated on the
part of the operators that they are not
making anything; that IL silver never ad-
vances there will be no use In working
the mines,' and If there is possibility of
an advance 1t is unwise to get rid of the
silver at the present low price of that
Nmetal. 1t is said that the only persons
who derive any benefit from the mines
are the miners, and that 1t is unreason-
able that the owners should go to all the
trouble and expense of mining without
any adequate return, and that In every
way 1t Will be better to shut down.
IL don't think" said l. w. Chatfield,
THAT the mines will be entirely closed
down. but l think that great many
will be ut least partially closed and that
there will be far fewer men working there
next year than there has been during
1896. The shutting down OF the proper
ties has been very generally talked of
during the past few months among the
operators and something In that direction
Is looked for by the miners. 1 do NOT
think, however. that there is as yet any
understanding that the mines shall be
shut down at any given time.
II think that 1t will rather take form in
the failure to renew leases. A great
many Of the lessees are doing no more
than making wages and expenses. The

leased, the system Of leasing being to put

1t Is stated that by May Edison's mill

1900 tons Of the finest bessemer ore ever
mined He is now able to prove to the iron
men who have been calling him visionary
for the last few years that his theories re-

He has spent nearly So 600, 900 in per-

When tho rock is reduced to dust, it Is
conveyed TO the top of the mill, 90 feet high.
From this point TO the ground are 400 mag
nets. The falling orc and sand pass about
two inches from the face of the magnets.
The particles of ore are drawn to the mag
nets and the shower of sand falls TO tho
bottom of the mill a V shaped board is
below each magnet. The ore clings, be-
comes heavy, and drops Of Its own weight.
The board below defects the ore from the
sand.
Tho hricking OF the ore has been accom-
plished by means Of q composition OF Edi-

so filled with dust that an electric light
can only be seen a few feet away. The
men work In masks, with muzzle over
