Aylwin.

One of the most popular books of the
present day is "Aylwin," by Theodore
Watts Denton. It's said that pity is
near akin to love-" and in this book is
depicted a love story full of interest,
movement and vigor. 1t begins with
the pathetic story of lonely, afflicted
little child-Henry Aylwin, the hero of
the book.
Quite graphic description is given
of gypsy life in Wales. of the wander
ing tribe among whom Aylwin wanders
in his search for Winifred Wynne,
whom he passionately loves. With an
open air freshness and purity of thought
sweet and refreshing as the mountain
breezes that blow from their beloved
Showdown, is depicted the life of these
people. a second heroine is Sinti Low
ell. the gypsy, an example of royal
womanhood and of strong self-sacrific-
ing love, In fact, to such an extent
does she hold ones sympathy, so many
noble grand qualities does she possess.
that in some respects she even eClipses
the beautiful, charming heroine. There
is vein of mysticism running through
the entire story introduced by Aylwin' S
father. His wife is drowned before his
very eyes. and though married again
and seemingly content, his whole life is
absorbed in his first loves life. Every
thing possessed by her, every place that
she visited is spiritualized and held sa-
cred by him. Chief among his posses
sions is a cross set with precious ston es,
their facets carved to catch and hold
the moons beams, so that at night it
shone respondent as in the day. He
always wore it around his neck, the
facets being down, and in their lacera-
tions found keenest pleasure. He
makes his son promise to see that this
is buried with him. He then writes a
curse in Hebrew and English upon any
oIlS WIZ 9HOuuu udlC C'thc II rum lut
grave. The terrible words of the curse
were as follows; Let there be no man
to pity him, nor to have compassion
upon his fatherless children. Let his
children be vagabonds and beg their
bread; let them seek it out of desolate
places" The cross is stolen, and by
the father of Winifred. That same
night the father perishes and the curse
begins to work upon Winifred, who full
fills it to the letter.

is used advisedly, for never were three

The Black VOLTS Breed.

1t is good to fall upon such a bit of
strong writing as THE Black VOLTS
Breed" a book not yet through its first
months existence. 1t is better still to
find that the majority of reading and
writing critics find here metal worthy
of their steel. THE Black VOLTS
Breed" is not book to be ignored: it
must be judged either to commend or
condemn. There can be no middle
ground. and in this is shown the innate,
dominant virility of the work. Mr.

The successful management of a mine

Some Mining Information.

A lack of knowledge of the lines
bounding the mill site or claim lines is
the misfortune Of the claim owner, who
| Is supposed to know where his lines are.

liable under certain circumstances to
cause error, which may in all cases be
obviated by the use of a brass plummet.
The non-use OF a water right isSnot an

of such non-use argues an intention to
abandon. Abandonment is a question of
that intent is fair evidence either way.

The idea that a mineral vein must be
a true fissure," having "well-defined
walls" with 'gouge seams" and lie
between walls of different character"
is disappearing, and anything that con-
tains pay is considered to be the vein,
whether the walls are in evidence or
not.
Probably "the cheapest hydraulic
mining ever reported" was that at the
North Bloomfield, Nevada county, Cal,
some years ago, where, according to the
superintendent statement, the entire
cost averaged 2 cents per cubic yard of
material removed-about | cent per ton.
Nearly every establishment furnish
ing mining machinery has one or more
trusted, experienced men, practical
needed In special cases or general re-
quirements, and who can see that any
thing needed. large or small, from a
stamp shoe to a complete plant, is prop
erly furnished. Such men a install

vice and aid are Of value, and in all
cases where a mine needs machinery of
my kind those in charge of the mine
would do well to have a talk with such
man.
When an ore deposit occurs in a "a
sive rock like granite, porphyry Of any
kind, felsite, andesite, ETC., and there
Is found an extensive crushing of the
country rock along and including the
vein, c~ross-cuts are of utmost impor-
lance, for the best defined wall often
proves to be merely a plane Of fracture
within the m~ineralized zone, beyond
which pay ore maj be again found; and
because a. %cro1s-cut In one portion of
the mine Is without result, should not
deter the management from making
others elsewhere. Cross cutting should
carried on systematically in view of
this condition.

4 WELL-MANAGED ARMY.
There Is No Score Run Up In the Philip
pines By Bad Generalship.
est. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Army and Navy Journal makes
some good points in regard to the care
with which our army in Luzon has been
handled, contrasting the caution exhib-
tied with the blunder that cost the
British at Ladysmith two of their best
regiments, and in a position but a few
miles distant from the intrenched main
body. A column of 1000 British, the
Journal says, was bagged as a poacher
snares his game, and General White did
not know that it had been attacked un-
til hours after it's surrender. In view of
such a disaster, it adds, one cannot
speak too highly of the ability Of a gen.
eral who can conduct operations with a
few hundred soldiers miles away from
intrenchments, in swamps and NOR
base without a break in communica-
tion." 1t is a timely acknowledgment.
In our operations in the Philippines
since last February the official list of
captured and missing up to October 20
was only thirty-one, about equally di-
vided between army and navy.
1t will be urged that the Beers are
better fighters than the Tagals. But the
insurgents have rifles equally good. and
1t would go hard to be surrounded by
them. The nearest they came to de-
stroying an isolated column was when
a battalion advanced from linus toward
Des Marinas on the strength of a
treacherous invitation from the mayor
of the latter place. Our troops were en-
veloped on all sides for hours, but got
word back to linus, and the relief col
umn came up in time. Innumerab,e
plots and ambuscades have been laid
by the insurgents, but have been foiled
in every case. Repeated schemes for
uprisings in Manila and to burn the
town have been detected and prevented.
The vigilance and prudence maintained
in Luzon have been of the highest or
der, and yet the tactics since the first
Tagal attack have been aggressive.
There Is no score run up in the Philip
pines by bad ~generalship, and the cred
it due will not be withheld.
