MAKING A MINE.
In Some Instances 1t Costs NothinE-In
Others the Cost Is Millions.

In Some Instances It Costs NothinE-fn
Others the Cost Is Millions.
There are no hard and fast rules in
regard 70 making a rline from the time
10 passes into the prospector's hands un-
til it becomes q dividend payer. Many
mines are such, as the miners say,
"from the grass roots" and turn out
large quantities Of ore from the begin
ming.
J. 3. Haggin, the millionaire mine
owner, took e8, coo, 900 from the Custer
mine, in Lemhi county, Ida, before
it became necessary to use candle
(gi.nt powdcr). This mine was known
as the Mineral mountain. A man came
along one day, and after looking at it
remarked, "Why, the hanging wall is
gone This was true. Nature had as-
sisted the miner in this case; the noun
tain side had been croded, leaving the
mineral standing there. Mr.. Haggin
also spent about 50. 600, 600 in develop
ing the Anaconda mine before it was on
a paying basis.
Mines have been discovered ccntcin-
ing fabulous wealth, although a pros
pector would starve to death in trying
to work them This was true in regard
to the Homcstake mine, in the Black
Hills. The prospectors who made the
discovery could do nothing with it, and
it passed into the hands Of Senator
Hearst and other California capitalists.
They concluded that, unless it was
worked on q large scale, it could not be
made profitable. An so stamp mill was
ordered and shipped in from Cheyenne,
at cost Of Sl30, 600, as an experiment
The mine las paid in dividends $35, 50i
a month for 15 years
1t requires large amount of money
usually TO put mine on a dividend
paying basis and, as q rule, this th'
prospector cannot do, although prospect
ors have ilade fortunes with their prop
critics. Spokane Spokesman-Review

The far famed vineyards Of the Rhine
are a great disappointment TO tourists
who see them for the first time. Vine
clad hills may have pleased the poets,
but apart from the sentiment aroused
by the rcmembrances of the exaggera-
tions Of such writers they are not in
tereshng and it is difficult to see how
any one could have raved over their
beauty. "A potato field is better" said
one disenchantod traveller Many flow

what is known as the broad bean. Farm
ers use them for food fer CATTLE though
they are considered table delicacy in
foreign countries. The flower is one of
the most peculiar seen in the vegetable
world, being white with jet black mark
ings. The white being as pure as that
of the sweet pea, the effect is striking.

POOR People RAISING VEGETABLES
VACANT LOTS TURNED INTO
FLOWER AND FRESH yEGE-
TABLE GARDENS.

The potato patch plan is now fully
inaugurated in Philadelphia.
Thirty acres of land have been Sc
cured by the Vacant Lots Cultivation
Committee in the neighborhood Of
Haverford avenue and Fifty-sixth
street, most of which has been pre-
pared for cultivation by Superintendent
Powell, and the potato patch plan for
the relief Of the unemployed is in ac-
tive operation in West Philadelphia.
Twenty-one families have received al
lotments of. a quarter of an acre each,
and in several Of the gardens the yegC-
tables are already pushing into view.
This week eighty families will be in
possession OF quarter-acre plots. Great
care is taken to make sure that only
those in real need receive the plots.
Seeds and fertilizer are furnished by
the committee, but the few tools re-
Quired must be provided by the culti-
yator
The regulations require that one-half
or each plot be planted with potatoes,
and standard crop of radishes. beets,
lettuce, onions. peas, beans. cabbage
and tomatoes is recommended for the
other half.
Fifty-sixth street thirteen acres have
been placed at the disposal of the COM
mittee by Pembefton & Co., four acres
by Henry Carroll and three acres by
the Jewish Hospital Association.
Thomas l.. Gillespie has given the use
Of six acres at Haverford avenue and
Fiftieth street, and Mrs. Lucretia M. b.
Mitchell has provided one-quarter acre
OF especially good land near the Fifty
second street station, which is used as
seeding bed A lot of one and one
quarter acres at Fifty-frst street and
Columbia avenue has been loaned by
Charles T. Harvey.
The greatest difficulty that the COM
mittee has experienced is in procuring
enough suitable land. Large tracts
anywhere within mile Cf-the trolley
lines or smaller let's in the immedlate
suburbs are especially needed Five
hundred acres could readily be put un-
der cultivation by the unemployed II
the land and money were Forthcoming

QUIETLY SLEEPS.
Mother" Mckinley Dead
of Years and HonorS.
Old Custom Revived-Friends and
NeighbOrs First Considered.

CANTON, o., Dec. tenancy Allison Nc
Kinley mother OF the president of the
United States, has died after Il short illness
in VIII oh her wonderful constitution baffted
death for days. She was one of ten children,
five sons and five daughters, and was dis
family related to Senator Alllson's family.
The Allisons are Of Scotch Covenanter stock.
In the dawn of this country Mrs. Mckinley's
parents moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio,
and her mother, Anne Campbell Allison,
made the then dreaded journey on horse
back, with u babe in her arms and another
child on the saddle in front Of her. In 1909
Nancy was born, and it may have been that
among tnat brood OF active, intelli-
gent youngsters she acquired the
precious art of governing without irri-
tation," which later repeated itself In her
daughter Annie and her son William, who
now holds the most exalted, sacred and
responsible position that rests in the power
of the Union to bestow on man. Nancy was
"A lass of Is when she married William Nc
Kinley, age 20 She welded a man she
not only loved devotedly, but one actuated
by the same principles Of integrity, thrift
and industry as herself. Her husband was
one of the pioneer ironmasters OF
eastern Ohio. The elder Mckinley,
inherited his bent for metal working
drew Rose. who was sent home
to Bucks county, Pennsylvania. from the
revolutionary army to make bullets and
cannon. Eight children were born OF the
union, OF whom but four survive-William,
now president Of the United States;
Abner, a wealthy broker, who maintains his
residence in Canton, but spends most OF his
time In New York; Mrs. Sarah Duncan or
Cleveland, and Miss Helen. who lives at the
maternal homestead in Canton.
The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon
in the First Methodist Episcopal church. in
which Mis-. Mckinley had been faithful
member. The immediate relatives preferred
brief private services at the Mckinley home
stead. but, because of the urgent request OF
neigbbors. old-tme friends and members OF
the church. they consented to have public
services. An ancient custom OF the church
which has long fallen into disuse was revived,
and the church bells tolled out the news
that the mother of the president was dead.
The services were conducted by the minister
of the church the Rev. DR.. C.E. Manchester,
the former cOmrade-in-arms OF President
Mckinley, In the selection OF pallbearers
old-tjme neighbors, friends and fellow
church members were asked to serve. Judge
William II. Day, the Hon. William A: Lynch;
ex-Mayor Il. A. Cassiday. l.. l.. Miller and
John +. Blake bore the body to the tomb.
MANY of the cabinet members and other
distinguished men from the National capi-
tol were present. "Mother" Mckinley's 5
body will be laid in u tomb beside that oil her
husband. and near the tomb OF the two chill
dren of the president.

Mr.. Higgins has been Justice of
the Peace for Brooklyn Township
without break in the consecutive
links of time since 1861. No decision
handed down from his bench has ever
been reversed by higher court. He
has married more than 500 couples,
and points with pride to the fact that
none of them ever appealed to a
divorce court for a severance of the
matrimonial bond. Squire Higgins is
a bachelor, and says that he cannot
remember that he ever paid court to
nny young woman. He also says that
he is one of the few "Andrew Jackson
Democrats" in the country.-Blan-
