on Jacks face when three neatly
dressed old ladies', all wearing side
rurls, bowed themselves smilingly into
the room. The boys seemed to be
struck dumb and l was left to do all
the talking. The three Misses Jenk-
ins were excellent listeners, but they
could not do much at talking.
1 racked my brain for something to
talk about, and managed to keep up
the conversation for about ten min
utes, aided by little "ahs" and "ohs"
and "you don't say" from the ladies.
Then came little pause, and l was
not at all surprised when Jack took
his watch ou. of his pocket and looked
at Harry with a startled air. well,
declared" he exclaimed. boys did you
know we had that engagement at the
club to-night?" Harry and Fred re-
called 1t very suddenlyq, too, but when
Miss Ruth Jenkins glanced at me, ap-
pealingly, and said must l go, too"
I could not quite get the nerve to
leave.
And in this case virtue was its own
reward. For Just as reached the cli-
max of a very thrilling adventure,
which, by the way was entirely i'm

blushed delightfully."- and stood still.

Kindly called tonight to enliven our
eolitude."
Miss May was as nice as she was
pretty and I enjoyed the evening very
much, but when l went upstairs
didn't mention her to the other boys.
For some reason or other they never
met her; perhaps because they went
out earlier and came home later from
work than she did. She was music
teacher. I'ut they continually laughed
at me for calling on the Misses Jenk-
ins three times week.

were eating dinner at our boarding

WHAT ALABAsTINE IS.

Alabastine is the original and only dur
able wall coating on the market. 1t Is
entirely different from all kalsomine
preparations. Alabastine is made ready
for use in white or twelve beautiful
tints by the addition of cold water. l. Is
put up In dry powered form, IN nve-
every package. 1t takes the place of
scaling kalsomincs, wall paper and pa mt
for walls. Alabastine can be used on
plaster, brick, wood or canvas, and Il

We Have Ore to Ship.

Careful estimates, based on actual
surveys and sampiings, made not
once, but several times. justifes the
statement that the Day mine alone
contains between 300, 900 and AGO.
900 tons of ore suitable for shipment
or working when rail communication
is had, such as Bingham and other
large Utah camps now enjoy.
With such g showing for one
mine, is it not reasonable to believe,
that since the mineral indications
here extend to both sides of the
mountain range, other magnificent
ott bodies will not be encountered
wuen work reaches depth?
The Hillside and the old May
flower, (now called the Mayday)
mines on the west, or Bristol side of
the range, both produced heavily in
the past but neither were worked to
any great depth.
The MayHower was explored with
horse within only and no other
claim in the immediate vicinity has
depth of over $50 feet.
The ores throughout that section
carry heavily in iron and copper.
This latter fact is what has revived
operations there during the past
year. The Day ore possesses value
above its silver contents on account
of the iron and lime it contains, and
every test shipment made to the
Salt Lake smelters in the past sold
at good premium. They nette |
more than the silver contents assay.
