1t is reported from Stockton Hill that
big body of oxide ore has been
opened up in the Alpha copper mine.
Specimens of the ore brought to the
Hill were exceedingly rich in copper.
Frank Gross has been at work on the
old Fay mine, six miles below King
man, for month or more and has a
carload of ore ready to ship to the
sampler. The ore carries good value
in gold.
Maynard Hart and Rolla Clack are
taking 600 ounce silver ore from the
Retort mine, Mineral Park, and have
big body of ore in sight. The Re
tort has produced more ore under the
leasing system than any other pine in
the Mineral Park basin.
The w. II. Taggart Mercantile com
pany is making many improvements In
its store on Front street. The maiu
building is being extended back about
thirty feet, which will give them more
room for the display of goods, and in
cidentally more Office room.
Thos. Mcmahon recently sunk a
winze in the upper tunnel of the Whip
powil. He found some very fair ore
but struck considerable water at the
same time, so he has made survey
and will run drift in the 200 foot
tunnel lower down, to strike the vein.
John NJ. Cross is in ingman after
an extended trip through the mining
country along the river. He Is much
impressed with the big mills now IN
operation or in course of construction
on the river mines and predicts fol
them big bullion output this year
The treatment Of ores by the cyanide
process is working wonders in that
heretofore unheard of field, and as tbs
field is extensive there is room fol
many reduction plants.

quartz on the surface that lays away
over anything recently discovered in
that country. The ore as it comes
from the vein samples over 20s in gold

Why England Ignores Bolivia.

The minister Of the United States at
La Paz has for many years represented
the interests of the British government
in Bolivia, whereby hangs a curious
tale. During the reign of one of the
several dictators who have ruled over
that unhappy country since its separa-
ton from Spain the British minister
and his family were invited to dine at
the palace, where they were received
by woman for whom the British min
isters wife had dislike. The British
envoy retired from the palace with his
wife and daughters as soon as he rec
ognized his hostess and their places at
the table were vacant. The other
guests were not SO fastidious. They
remained throughput the entertain
ment and afterward enjoyed dance
The next morning the minister called
upon the president and demanded an
apology for inviting his wife and
daughter to meet such woman, which
when the woman learned the object Of
his visit she furnished a practical IL
lustration of the old adage that "hell
hath no fury like a woman scorned."
At her instance the president sent the
minister his passports and ordered him
to leave the capital at once, sending
a lieutenant and file of soldiers to
escort him to the frontier. AS he was
passing out Of the city he expressed
his indignation in such emphatic terms
that the lieutenant took him out Of
the stage and made him mount DON
key with his face to it's tail. In that
way the envoy extraordinary Of her
British majesty left the capital Of b.
livia, jeered and hooted by mob OF
natives. AS Bolivia was too small
country for England to punish Lord
Salisbury allowed the insult to pass
without retribution, but no minister or
consul has ever been sent to Bolivia
since, and it is not probable that one
ever will be.
Some years later, when President
Arco visited London to negotiate
loan to pay for some internal improve
ments, he called at the foreign office
with the hope of being able to restore
relations, but the minister of state for
foreign affairs told him politely that
her majesty's government was not
aware of the existence of such a coun-
try as Bolivia and pointed to map
upon which it had been entirely
effaced

Just as soon as woman gets what
is called an uncertain age she begins
to think about wearing black, says the
Washington Star If she will wear it,
why does she not do so when her cheeks
are red, her skin white and no traces
of wrinkles betray life's discipline
upon her face? This is not diatribe
against wrinkles. In themselves they
give much more expression than face
can ever have before bitter experience
carves them there. But they should
be softened, not emphasized. Gray
haired women with rosy cheeks-and
there are many Of them-look well in
black. Even then there should be a
touch Of white about it. Rufiles at
neck and wrist, or touch of lace, silk
or satin on the front of the bodice.
And when one is stout, black has un-
doubted advantages, but not unreleved
black. Artistic creations in black,
such as one can get from high-priced
modistes, are hardly included in the
denunciation against black, unwrink-
led, untrimmed and severe, as it is
adopted by the woman who puts it
on as the famous beauty and blue
stocking, Nine. de Genlis took off
rouge when she was 30. If rouge is
ever permissible, certainly it is when
one has reached an age when the color
begins to fade. Yet that was the time
the lady who was considered so shrewd
elected to give it up. And just when
she begins to grow bit sallow is the
time the unwise woman turns from
colors, some Of which might hide
times ravages. Sallow women or
women with dark skins had better take
to blazing scarlet as perpetual dress
rather than to black, which they very
often affect, alleging that nothing
makes them beautiful. Perhaps not.
But nothing is further removed from
beautiful on them than this same
somber black.

or in doing farm chores, require
hearty, tasteful food, and not toast and
tea. A dish piled with smoking hot
potato farci will exactly. fill the bill.
Wash large potatoes and cut them
in halves the long way; scoop out the
centers, leaving just enough Of the po-
tato to form a wall; fill with a mince
of any kind, brush over with beaten
eggs and bake till the potato is done.
This mince may consist of cold minced
fish mixed with crumbs and moistened
with white sauce, or of a mixture of
mashed potato, caulifiower and grated
cheese, or mashed potatoes mixed with
minced veal, ham or fowl-in short. al
most any tiny remnant of fish, flesh
or fowl may be worked up into mince
with crumbs or mashed potatoes and
moistened with cream, gravy or white
or brown sauce.
Freshened salt cod, or very little
crisp, fried bacon or salt pork, finely
minced, is particularly appetizing.
A great dish of smothered potatoes
with hot toast and coca, followed by
hot gingerbread, is an ideal country
supper. Peel some white potatoes and
slice in baking dish until nearly full,
seasoning each layer with bits Of but
ter, salt, pepper, and just shake of
the flour dredger; cover with rich milk
and bake with an inverted dish on top
for half an hour; uncover and brown.
Carrots, Flemish style, is good ac-
compartment Of cold slice beef la
mode, or baked, or Of hot beef hash.
Cook the carrots with the skins on till
tender, adding pinch Of carbonate of
soda to helghten the color; pare, cut
in dice, and for each pint Of dice, add
a tablespoonful Of butter, teaspoon
full of lemon juice, and as much minced
parsley and chives; season, toss over
the fire till very hot, and pour over
little sippets of toasted bread.

I am in city which imagine to be
the strangest one, except Bombay, on
this earth; strangest in the hodge,
podge Of miscellaneous humanity it
contains, writes Julian Ralph to Col

ness is as nothing compared with The
novelty it offers now that it is so full
of refugees that its streets are blocked
with loafing crowds, now that neigh
bors of English and Dutch blood are
afraid to speak their thoughts to one
another, now that the English are
massing troops here to fight the Beers
and the Dutch are sending tons of
drugs and provisions over the border
for the succor Of their blood relatives
in the Free State and the Transvaal.
Men Of all sorts whisper where in
other cities men shout aloud. Just row

one, putting out his right hand, whis-

a policeman came up and said: "You
must move along, gentlemen; no one
must stand still in the streets here"
And FIVE minutes later Mr.. S. ]. Pryor,
the managing editor of the London
Daily Mail" ran up and whispered to
me: do you see those troops? They
have just seized one hundred and fifty
thousand pounds in gold which came
from London with you on your ship to
be sent to Paul Kruger! 1t is the best
thing have seen in years. The Beers

The situation is quite unique. The

A good skin food is indispensable In
face massage in all cases, except
where there is excessive oiliness says
an exchange. Only tiny bit should
be used upon the finger tips, which
should be well rubbed in until entirely
absorbed by the pores. They have
their digestive limit, as we'll as the
stomach, and refuse more than they
can assimilate at one time. A good
skin food consists of the purest, most
nutritious ingredients, containing
nothing that will clog or irritate the
skin. Beware of cheap skin foods for
sale at low price in the general
stores. They are frequently composed
Of vaseline, glycerine or animal fats,
which prove often highly detrimental.
A pure, vegetable skin food will never
cause the growth of superfluous hair.
Now word concerning regularity.
Facial massage, like other forms of
exercise, must be Systematically kept
up. Because you do not see results in
a week do not despair. You may have
to work every night for three months,
but, at the end of that time, your re-
ward is certain. Massage is a tonic,
and therefore, benefit is not to be ex-
pected from a single dose. Desultory
and spasmodic attempts at self-treat-
ment, followed by periods of inatten-
ton or forgetfulness, will result in
nothing but disappointment.
Facial massage must be always pre-
coded by hot, soapy face bath and
rinse in cold water to remove all pos
sible irritating dust from the pores, as
well as to soften and prepare the skin
for this refreshing manipulation.
During facial massage, if the process
is new one, small particles of waste
matter will roll up under the fingers
This is the dead cuticle and effete mat
ter thrown off by the pores, which is
not only useless but detrimental, to a
clear complexion. 1t has become soft
ened by the bath and amounting and Is
brought away by friction. The more
frequently this process of desquama-
ton is induced, the more rapid the
growth of the soft, fresh skin beneath.

An Attractive Dining Room.

To the Farmers Revlew:-I consider
the dining room one Of the most i'm
portant rooms in the household. The
family will meet here oftener than
elsewhere, and three times q day they
gather around the family board. 1t. is
an educator to have an attractive table
as the appearance of it has much to DO
with the appetite, for table that Is
laid with dainty white cloth, snowy
napkins and pretty table. ware, will
often tempt one to eat, when, under
other conditions, there would be no
inclination for food. A housewife
makes great mistake to be Indifferent
to her children's table manners and the
surroundings. ! have heard hostess
say, when entertaining children, that
she could always tell the ones who
were used to table appointments, nap
kins, ETC., and such children reared
without any dainty refining influences,
go through life making blunders I'M
less they see their mistake by being
mortified in company and determine to
stop it. No one can have an attrac-
tive looking table unless the table
linen is properly laundered, a stiff yell
low table cloth will spoil the prettiest
looks Of china, silver and flowers,
while on the other hand a snow white
laundered damask linen table cloth will
make even the plainest dishes look
well.
A silence cloth protects the table
linen and makes it look handsomer,
and protects 1t from the hot
dishes also. To wash linen
properly and the pretty carving cloths
and centerpieces. wash them sep
arately from the other clothes, and
never allow them to get SO soiled that
they will need hard rubbing. Heat the
water until warm, dissolve enough
pearline in 1t to make good cleansing
sudr aud wash the table pieces lightly
between the hands. Rinse through two
waters, adding little bluing and
boiled starch to the second rinsing.
