The old Marinette hoist has
been removed from No. . engine

engine free to hoist nothing but
ore. The third compartment of
the shaft is being fitted up for
a cage which will be working
next week. The addition Of this
new level will double both the
output and the working force at
the Columbia this year provided
men can be had TO fill all the
places. Tho output Of this mine
will be somewhere near 200, 600
tons, double that OF any year in
its history.

The Barasa.

The plan OF following the ore
lead first struck at the Barassa
instead Of continuing the drift
has resulted successfully. This
plan was adopted on the sup
position that the drift had cut
through an odd corner Of the
deposit and was leading away
from the main body. The work
of extending the drift was ac-
cordingly stopped, and the min
+ were set TO work to follow
the ore from the point where the
drift cut it.
This has resulted in complete
success. Sufficient prosecuting
has been done to assure Manager
Mack that the drift was in re-
ality passing to the side Of
the main deposit and that
the main body has now
been reached. lie reports that
the ore is of a high grade and
that it is increasing in richness
as the main body is being pen
etrated. Nothing now lies in
in the way of active mining and
in a short time the ore will be
hoisted and stocked in order TO
have a good quantity ready for
shipment the comm season.

The Ambition to BE "Liferaryo

The reading club on the whole has
been blessing as an educational influ.
ence, but there are cases where light
drafts from the literary spring have not
been beneficial. 1t must be owned that
an ambition to become literary, when
aroused in shallow mind, often has
the effect of uniting it for probabili,
ties of achievement, while failing to
refit it for possibilities. To the super.
fetal woman whose desire is to get into
the trend of the fashion the paper" of
the literary club becomes delusion and
a snare. 1t tempts to mental masquerade
ing and plagiarism and in many cases
has robbed women of needed rest and Of
a naturalness that is part of their charm.
Having no very original thoughts of a
given subject and no well defined idea
of its proper treatment, she takes the
reference books, not as suggestive helps,
but in the way of completion, and so
unoonsciously often bcomes cheat and
subjects herself to intellectual democrat
ization. MARY R. Baldwin in Woman s
Home Companion.

Shooting Dreams.

A writer speaks Of the persistent Pc
ouliarity in his dreams of not being
able, after game was sighted, to fire the
gun, and has often wondered if this
happens with other dreamers. My own
experience comedies with his, and /
think may be too general to be peculiar.
An Older brother, however, once had
a different experience. The gun of our
earlier bOyhood days was an old flint
lock queens arm that had the power to
shoot off tree top and an almost equal
reverse force. 1t was the idol as we'll
as the terror of our young lives, and
was carried over the New Hampshire
hills with heroic feelings.
One night, in the stiffness of the later
hours, there was tremendous jar in
our sleeping room, as if a heavy body
had been violently thrown down. Pater.
familias, aroused by the shock. came
rushing in just as my brother, in a
semisomnolent condition, was slowly
gathering himself up from the floor to
regain his place in bed, from which he
had dropped moment before. Father
exclaimed, "Bill, what is the natter"
to which Bill drowsily replied, 81
dreamed fred the old gun and it kicked
me out of bed" 1t was emphatic
enough to him to be peculiar. Forest

by big gold filling. Slippy misses that

The motive power department of a
railway keeps an accurate double entry
account with every locomotive and
every car, so that the manager or mas
ter mechanic can tell in an instant how
much it has cost to maintain and repair
it, how many miles it has travelled and
how many cars or tons it has hauled.
A similar account is kept with every
freight and passenger car. The Pullman
company, for example, can tell you any
morning the exact earnings of every
sleeper or parlor car in service, how
much each cost originally and how
much has been expended in equipment,
maintenance and repairs. - Chicago
