Lendvine Ore for Making st ,ei.

George W. Cook, the Denver agent
of the Illinois Steel company, says that
lie has completed arrangements for the
supply of the steel company with all of
their manganese iron from the great
manganese iron mines of Lcadville.
Heretofore the Illinois Steel company
has obtained its manganese in great
part from the mines of Cuba, Chill.
Russia and Japan. Last year Mr. Cook
induced the company to try the Lead
vile ores, and about 10000 tons were
shipped from Leadville
The experiment proved satisfactory
in every respect, and. consequently.
Mr.. Cook was able to induce the com
pany to obtain its entire supply from
the Leadville mines The ore has been
obtained from foreign parts mainly on
account of its cheapncSS, coming i'm
ballast with only Il nominal charge for
freight. This has been fairly met by
the Lendville producers. however, and
in consequence all the importing
agents from the countries named have
been notified of the withdra wal of The

OLD-TIME COOKING
Like the Men of Those Days 1t Was
Coarse but Strong.

Coarse but strong.
1t was very different three hundred
years ago. There was no science and
very little fashion. The culture of the
age was well expressed by sirloin,
which aristocratic word was coined by
an inebriated monarch, who insisted
upon knighting a loin of beef on ac-
count of its excellene and juiciness,
says the New York Mail and Express.
There were no forks. Instead Of plates
wooden trenches. and spoons were of
wood and were what we would call
ladies'; and napkins and table cloths
were practically unknown. The cook

were on par with the rest of kitchen
dom. Honey was largely used and
recommended when mixed with spices,
with fish and crabs. Potatoes were
not in vogue and tomatoes If known
were considered poisonous Almost all
cooking consisted of soups, stews, pies,
fish and pastry. The theory of soup
was rich liquid or semi-liquid food. The
old English beef soup had carrots,
turnips cabbage, and even apples
thrown into the pot and when cold
could be cut with knife. The rhyme
OF ''pease porridge nine days old gives
good notion of one style Of cooking
which consisted of boiling animal or
vegetable substances until they became
mere paste. There We're fish soups
and fish pasties but these on account of
the prejudice against Roman Catholics
were never very popular, There were
huge pies and puddings, of which the
interior was made of chopped-up beef
steak or mutton, kidneys, birds. squir-
rels. hares, rabbits. venison and among
the wealthy, oysters. These pasties
were valued according to their size,
Those served to the rich merchants and
goldsmiths were two feet in diameter
and foot thick; those served at the
tables of the great lords were three and
four feet in diameter and foot and
a half thick, while those served to
royalty were sometimes six feet in
diameter and two feet thick. The
cooking was like the men of the period
coarse, brutal but strong, wholesome
and refreshing

this district have been restaked several

There is no change in the construction
of the law by the United States au-

says the exception is made in the case
of mineral land which has always been
held by the department to mean lands
known to be mineral before the state
was admitted into the union.

Deem Shaft SINKING

A suggestion has been made that
some of the mine owners in the Trail
Creek district, in British Columbia.
combine for the purpose of sinking
rapidly deep shaft in one or more
representative claims for the purpose
of demonstrating whether the ore bod
les hold out in size and value with
depth. The suggestion is n good one.
The sinking in the Kennedy shaft in
Amador county. California. to depth
of 2.2OO feet and the proof thereby
that the ore body is as large and rich
as in the upper levels, has done much
to increase the values in the minds of
the owners of properties on that belt
for n long distance. Had this been
many more deep shafts along the Sier-
ras than there are now.
In South Africa the deep shafts are
proving the value of the mines in
depth. and as result there is Iro hest
tation about sinking on other mines at
very great expense. There they had
the advantage of large capital which
is not as available in this country. A
large majority of the mines are being
worked by men of small means who
can hope to make developments Mt
great depths only out of the profits of
the upper workings. Randsburg. in
the Mojave desert. is n good example
of this. With the most promising out
look on the surface, none of the mine
owners have sunk deep enough to
prove what they believe that the mines
will hold out in depth.-Mining and Bel

Not Enough for Two.

Patrick was the captain of a brick
schooner that piled between New York
and Haverstraw on the Hudson. One
day his schooner was loaded, ready to
start for New York. But Patrick new
er gave the word TO the crew to cast
off the hawsers and get under way.
Instead, he sat lazily swinging his leg
over the spokes of the wheel, smoking
his pipe. The owner of the brick yard,
who was also the owner of the schoon-
er, seeing that the vessel had not start
ed, and wishing to have the load land
ed in New York as soon as possible,
rushed down to the dock and irately
demanded of Patrick why he did not
get under way.
"Shure, yer honor. there's no wind -
NO wind! Why, what's the matter
with you? There's Lawson's schooner

"Yis, I've been er watchin' her, but
