wAHNITA COPPER COMPANY.
Rich Ore and Rapid Development IN
the Gun Greek District.

The Wahnita Copper company $
mines give promise of becoming Dig
wealth producers in the near future
Regarding their development the Globe
Silver Belt says:
superintendent King of the Erie con-
solidated mines situated in the Gun
Creek district, ella county, and owned
by the Wahnita Copper company OF
Boston, in a report recently made 20
his company, says that the new double
compartment shaft which was started
in September has now reached a depth
of thirty feet. The location is about
200 feet northwest of No. I shaft, locat-
ed on the same mineral zone, and is to
be the main shaft for the operation of
these properties, and is expected to cut
the ore of the vein al the f1fty-foot
level. No. 1 shaft has been in excellent
sulphuret ore for several months, and
recently they broke through what was
supposed to be the foot wall on the
other side of which has been encoun-
tered a very rich vein of gray copper,
which has averaged As per cent cop
per and $50 gold. Work is being rap
idly pushed in sinking No. l shaft to
4 greater depth. Winslow has been
the base of supplies for these mines,
but Globe is the natural point, as there
is a post road from Globe to point
near the mine, and a concerted effort
is being made by the merchants OF
Globe to secure the trade. Open COM
ment on the Erie ores from the owners
of three of the biggest copper produc-
ers in Arizona, confirm the predictions
of Mr.. Sawyer, which were widely cir
culated last spring, and from present
indications the mines will be one of the
best paying propositions of the terri
tory within the next year.

TRAGEDY OF A PICTURE.
1t Was Munkacsy's Last and It Cost
the Artist His Reason.

Physicians and alienists agree that
Munkacsy's terrible collapse is due to
his intense application upon ''Ecce

paintings. The master worked almost
necessarily upon the picture for eight
months. He ate but little, and slept
less; he took no exercise. received TO
visitors, and only left his mansion in
the Rue Villiers once during the whole
eight months. And that was in order
to find model for his Christ
Wandering through the streets of
Paris, searching from right to left, the
gaunt man with the cavernous eyes
seized on a man with delicate features,
a spiritual expression and a curling
beard. Munkacsy grasped his arm SO
tightly that he left his great finger
marks upon the slighter mans arm for
many day. BE my Christi de-
manded the Hungarian. THE one I
have imagined is finished, but he does
not suit me- Come, I pray you.' The
big, seedy Individual with the glowing
eyes frightened the smaller man. He
walked to the mansion in the hue ill
liers with the wild stranger, but he
was careful to keep well out of reach.
Il needed the magic name of MunkacSy
on the doorplate to reassure him.

master painted day after day. but still

said angrily. blotting out the work of

stranger carried away a pocketful of
francs and the conviction that ne had

Steadily Munkacsy painted his '-Ecce
Homo Hunger he did not know. He
drove away the servants who came to
announce that meals We're ready. and
only allowed a tray of food to be passed
into the room upon the indignant de
mand of his wife. Often sleep did not
visit him for seventy-two hours, and
when WEAKNESS compelled him to drop
his brush he lay in a tense, half con-
scious state, his face thin and white
as that of a corpse. No one 1ntruded
upon the solitude of his studio except
madame, and that under silent suffer-
ance.
At last it was finished. The colossal
Christ looked sadly down upon the
rabble from the portico of the Roman
building. Pontius plate, cold. impas-
sive, stood at the right, a Roman sol
der the grim figure at his left. Below
the Jews strove with the soldiers to get
a closer view and a better chance TO
mock the pretender. The figure on the
canvas breathed rage. 1t was, indeed,
finished, and the artist studied 1t mus
ingly from his divan. But he had for
gotten something. He staggered back
to the painting and seized brush His
strength hardly sufficed for the hasty
scrawling of his name upon the canvas,
down close to the portico, and then

HIGH TONED BOOK AGENTS.
sIen Who Only Sell Volumes Worth
From $50 to $500.

''Ihere is a distinct upper class of
book agents who never come in contact
with the general public, remarked
Mr.. Charles FL. Meyers. II have been
interested in art publications for a
number of years and know most of the
tiptop statesmen in the country. They
handle books that range from $50 to
$500 in price and only call on people
who figure on certain select lists. These
lists are the result of the cuttings of
years. and, combined they represent
nearly all of the high class book buyers
of the United States. Each publishing
house has its own collection of names,
and they are valued highly.
81 call to mind one firm that failed
and went out of business several years
ago and its roster of buyers was consid
cred it's very best asset. 1t was pur-
chased for something like $4,000. The
class of books handled by the agents to
whom I refer would greatly astonish

The illustrations are frequently water

the vignette letters to be tinted by hand.
"Such books are never advertised,
but are easily disposed of to the inner
circle Of rich connoisseurs. The agents
who take the orders are the princes of
the business. I know one who makes
easily $4,000 a year, and they are
nearly all we'll to do. They are continu-
ally on the go, but if you were to en-

Making Steel Pens.

Briefly described. steel pens are made
as follows First the steel is rolled into
big sheets and then cut into strips
about three inches in width. The strips
are heated to a bright red and are then
allowed to cool gradually, which tenn
pers them. They are next rolled to the
necessary thinness and are cut into
blank fiat pens, and the pens, while
fiat, are usually stamped with the
brand or the name Of the manufacturer.
To shape tie pens is the next process.
The rounding makes them hold the ink
and distribute it more evenly than
could be done if they were fat. To
harden them they are heated to cher
ry red and then suddenly cooled. This
not only hardens them, but makes them
elastic. The polishing, pointing and
finishing come next, and then they are
ready for use. The little holes in the
pens at the end of the Sits serve to
make them more elastic and to facili-
tate the flow of the ink.
It is said that more steel is now used
in the manufacture of pens than in
that of swords. 1t is even claimed that
the metal annually used in their manu-
facture weighs more than all the metal
used in the manufacture of war imple-
ments. Detroit Free Press.
