Messrs. o. J. Smith, b. L. Smith, A..
Jackson, and II. A. jackson have taken .
bond and lease OF the Homestake and
Rocco mines near Hamilton. They o
have seven men at work who will be prin-

pendicular shaft. which Ia 10 be done for
the purpose Of affording 9 more practical
and convenient method Of taking the ore
out Of the mines and putting the proper
ties In good condition. The ore st this
time is being taken through . number OF
drifts and wines, necessitating several
landings before finally reaching the top.
The LAM Bros. OF Hamilton have had .
lease on the mines for the past year. and
have extracted considerable very good ore,
most Of which is still on the dumps 81 the
mines, but 10 being hauled away as rapid
" O. possible 10 the railroad here 81 En-.

ing transportation; this costs IS . ton
from the mines 10 this point. The ore
averages about 10 per cent lead and IL
ounces silver. and . great deal Of oompeti-
tion between Denver and the Salt Lake
people has resulted in the principal part Of
the ore going 70 tho selby Smelling

AFGHANISTAN VENDETTAS

How Deadly Blood Feuds Are waged In
 the Khyber Pass.
 During the time have been in In, dia, writes a soldier correspondent, the most interesting period was when I was stationed on duty for three months some years back in Landikotal, on the Ali. ghanistan side of the far famed Khyber pass. Here I was able to forcibly real ize the meaning of "vendetta. as the characteristic blood feuds of the Afridis are quaint and interesting.
 The pass itself is a neutral zone be- tween India and Afghanistan, but we ex- ercise our dominion over the road that winds its way for 21 miles through the narrow valley. Here, as elsewhere in Afghanistan, blood feuds are a recog- nized institution among the tribes and last through generations, the dishonor resting with that family who last suf fered from some defeat or treacherous murder.
 When an encounter occurs between two tribes occupying settlements on op- posite sides of the road mentioned, one or other must cross it before commence ing firing, as firing across the road is prohibited, but on either side they can exercise their friendly feelings toward each other without hindrance.
 But still quainter is it when the feuds are between close neighbors. Each family. with near relations, occupies a number of mud huts, inclosed in a square surrounded by thick. high wall of mud, stone and wood. At one corner of these squares is built watch tower 80 feet high, where the family marks man takes his position and playfully picks of any unfortunate who shows himself in the next square. Constitu- tionals are therefore confined on both sides and limited to nightly prowls - Strand Magazine.

November Ladies' Home Journal

November Ladies' Home Journal: A few years ago, when Evangelist Moody was preaching in the slums of a large city, he was delayed in leaving the hal till late in the evening. The exit was 1T back street, and as he left the building he found number of roughs waiting to annoy him. As he walked along he heard them say, "Here he comes!" and they prepared to jostle him from the sidewalk Going straight up to the ring-leader MT Moody held out his overcoat, and, witt elf-possession that commanded respect said
 My friend, won't you just help me or with this overcoat? am not quite SC active now as I was at your age, anC some day, when you are as old as am I'll be glad to do you the same favor."
 No bully was ever more complt tely taken back with surprise. He held the overcoat for the evangelist to get into it and then thanking the young man for his aid, MT. Moody went along unmnIested.

Fortunes From Bananas.

Immense fortunes have been made out of the banana business. Revenues do not accrue alone from the sale of the fruit. for the leaves are used for pack ing; the juice, being strong in tannin. makes an indelible ink and shoe black ing; the wax found on the underside of the leaves is Q valuable article Of com merce; manilla hemp is Ill; se from the stems, and of this hemp arc made mats, plaited work and lace handkerchiefs of the finest texture. Moreover. the banana is ground into banana flour. The fruit to be sold for dessert is ripened by the dry warmth of faring gas jets ill the storage places in which it is kept. and immense care has to be taken to prevent softening or overripening. The island of Jamaica yields great crops of this useful and money making fruit.
