and reduction works on copper values:
Lead King, North Pole. South Pole, Ca

and Agatha. In tho four first named
copper predominates, and in their ship

Special Correspondence tn the Mining

The Crystal Mountain Mine has closed
down at time when the management
was anxious to keep development under
way. The prospect is very promising to
open up good ore in the breast Of the
tunnel. One Of the miners said to the
writer that ho considers tho outlook the
best for many months. Prospecting is
also being carried on in opening up the
veins which have been cut in driving the
tunnel.
Dempke & Tischhauser have some fine
ore in the Spar lode, whore they are
working under bond and lease. They
have over fifty sacks ready for the
smelter. The ore streak is now from one
to four inches wido and carries values Of
lead, copper and silver which makes the
ore give an average OF about $50 per ton.
This is certainly a good prospect, for the
work has only reached depth Of seven
feet.
At the Laura the formation has become
more open, and is now cutting into the
shale, having passed the lime formation.
Some water has been struck lately which
indicates that a vein may be cut IN =
short distance. They are now working
two shifts.

in a good round every day and are max

At the Burt the indications are very
satisfactory to the management. and the
necessity OF closing down on account oi

this is the rule among the women whose

With all her faults there is no more ca

where than she who is in the smart set

estimate the number of feminine million
aires who live on Fifth Avenue and its
fashionable tributaries, but it is safe to
say that most of these ladies know as
much of the value of money and how to
take care of their inheritances as the
wiliest of Wall Street bankers.
Miss Serena Rhinelander has one of the
Oldest and biggest New York estates on
her hands. and she keeps the management
of 1t mainly in her own hands. She owns
scores of tenement and apartment houses,

BESSIE POTTER, SCULPTOR.
She Takes High Place I'm Amcri-
can Art.


Art.
Chicago, Feb 1-Bessie Potter is all
the rage In Chicago. 1t is the correct
thing to have portrait statuette fashioned
by the deft fingers Of this diminutive wom-
an. But as the demand exceeds Bessie
Potter's power 10 supply, the less favored
ones are glad TO content themselves with
a cup Of tea at the little table in one cor
ner of her studio II they are lucky enough
to be invited. And finally, as there is a
limit to the capacity of the tea table, there
is still larger class which can do no
more than read what the newspapers have
to say about the young artist and envy
the more fortunate ones.
Now the studio is deserted, the tea table
is in storage and its owner is in Europe,
partly for a season of recreation and part
ly to have more important recent produce
tions put into marble under personal su-
pervision.
It used TO distress dorado Taft to find
his young pupil bent on undertaking tasks
entirely too ambitious for a pupil. But
| when Bessie surmounted the difficulties
and accomplished the tasks, he ceased to
| worry on that account and devoted the
time to admiring her astonishing capacity
for work.
Genius is sometimes described as unlim
| tied capacity for work. Measured by this
| definition Bessie Potter is a genius; for no
| one ever saw her idle, and the number of
her productions is something phenomenal.
! When 1t is added that besides the virtue
| of industry she has love OF art and good
/ taste, her success so early in life is not
surprising.
The first OF her work that attracted at
/ tentton was a bust of Prof David Swing.
! She gave expression to his picturesque per-
sonality as it had never been done before.
That was her starting point. She soon
| mastered the knack OF hitting off the
prominent characteristics of her subject in
q happy manner without making her work
| overelaborate. Her special line took the
| form OF sketchy little statuettes. Her
statuette of Susan B. Anthony is pro-
| nounced by critics the best portrait of
| Miss Anthony eXtant.
Bessie Potter is seen at her best in fig
ures of young women and girls. She gets
| on famously with the little folk, and has
done some delightful portraits of babies.
| There is an individuality about her work
that is so often lacking in the production
of other sculptors and artists, and she
means to retain IT. She has pronounced
| opihiouS Oh ihe suuyeNl Vi AHieTICdh ar
lists who go TO Europe, settle down there
and copy year after year until they lose
all individuality" She thinks it well
enough TO be informed on what Europe
has produced and is producing, but that
| is all. No copying for her.
II is pleasant to be able to say that while
society has made her a fad her work is
appreciated by artists Raffaelli went wild
over her statuettes. Vennoh is an enthu-
siast on the same subject Taft is very
proud of the fact that he was once her
teacher, and the rest OF the Chicago art
colony seems to feel proprietary interest
| in Bessie. The consensus of opinion in
every studio was summed up by dorado
Taft when he said:
Bessie Potter is destined 10 take a very
high place in American art"
