ANDREW LANG.

Mr. Andrew Lang is not only one of the most
brilliant writer's Of his time. but one Of the most
prolific. Accordingly he is always being quoted
or talked about. But just now he IS more in
the public eye than ever for he has published
the first volume Of a History Of Scotland '
and this has excited exceptional interest. Some
critics pick holes in its scholarship Some say
there is too much humor in the work. But all
are agreed that Mr.. Lang has given in this
latest publication Of his a conclusive answer TO
the scientific" historians who think that bald
facts are all that one wants, Mr.. Lang puts
the human interest in the foreground. Scholar

Wh eedon discovery, near Coyote ranch, which he thinks are very valu- able. One of the claims was worked in '96. an IS foot shaft being sunk on the ledge, which is well defined and about twenty inches wide. An oc- casional piece of free gold can be dis covered in the rock. The parties who worked and abandoned the claim struck pocket of Sl2, ,000 ore, dug 1t out and quit. Jean proposes to do some work on them at once. The rock horns we'll and is good looking gold quartz. Some people scoff at the idea of this new find amounting to anything simply because they don'' think the formation is right to garry gold at depth. Such theories are wrong, for gold has often been proved to be where it is found, regardless of eyperts' theories. When shafts have been sunk some distance and the ore has disappeared entirely it will be time enough to condemn the country on general principles"

 Range News: A. Fl. Wien recently struck fine body of sulphide ore Tn the Blue Bell mine at Johnson. He also has good shipping ore in the Re public. Returns from recent car load shipment of what he terms low grade ore showed value of 5000. The Dragoon Mining Company regularly ships a car day, while s. $. Camp bell maintains record of three cars per week.
 Prospector: A Deming dispatch says: A Mexican, poorly clothed and hungry. arrived in this place today driving burro before him, and when he unpacked the animal at the corral he had $500 worth of gold in nuggets, and about eighty pounds of the rich est gold quartz ever seen in the ter rjtory. He refused to tell where he got the rock but it is known he came from the Sierra Madre.
 Globe Times: The United Globe mines have entered into an under standing with the El Paso shelter whereby the company will ship, not to exceed l500 of ore month, during the period of three months, though it is expected that the contract will be renewed indefinitely. In the mean time the company will put up their new jacket and blow in at an early day. The company contemplates re- moving the Hoosier hoist to the Grey and erecting a new hoist at the Hoosier. About l50 men are working fin the United Globe at present writ ing.
 Globe Times: The development al the Black Warrior and all over th' Pinto district, and the consequent traffic between those points and Glob' was astonishing. The big leachlni plant at the Black Warrior is nearll enclosed with coougated iron, and good to look at by the side of it's grin appearance before these improvemnt were made.

ELABORATE NEW NOTIONS IN HOUSE DRESSES

charlSingly to the needs OF the house
gown, and the train, always suitable in
the house, is just now fashionable, be-
sides.
Other fancies that are applied to the
simpler house dresses are the bloused
waist or loose front, and all princess and
vatican effects. With so wide a choice
it is quite possible to select something
as easy as wrapper, graceful and sim
pie, yet wthethe necessary suggestion Of
dressiness that differentiates the house
and morning gown from the wrapper
Empire front and princess back is one
charming combination, shown here by the
artist. As sketched it was pale pink lawn
trimmed with white needlewOrk and
white lace. but any of the summary ma
terials that are employed in house dresses
would make up nicely in similar manner.
Pink satin ribbon bound it above the bust
line, and afforded a quaint finish worth
remembering. Another model shown here
was chosen for illustration to point the
license that prevails. 1t is across the
picture from the one just described, and
had a princess front with an ingenious
modification of the vatican back. 1t was
white India silk trimmed freely with
tucking, white lace insertion and lace
ruffles. Its adaptation Of the vatican
back could be transferred to far less
elaborate gown.
In the finish Of the neck there is quite
as much room for the expression of per-
sonal taste as in other details. The neck
may be left bare in Saint Cecilia fashion,
the gown may be cut half low, or high
collar deliberately built UP about the ears
and under the hair at the back may com
fort the woman who thinks the bare neck
unbecoming to her. The half bare neck
is accomplished with all sorts of pretty

enough to hang rather stffiiy over a deep
belt Of dark red velvet without obliterat-
ing the figure. 1t was very successful
compromise between an ungraceful new
style and a more pleasing old one. The
other home dress of this group was old
rose cashmere sprinkled with pale pink
rosebuds. Fine tucEing, ivory white lace
and black velvet were its trimmings It's
sleeves were of outright newness,
