with a great deal Of interest. Since the

TO work them IN a small way is not
profitable Large bodies OF oNidized ore
exist In the Overland, and the compar-
alive success with a mill having a ca
pacity Of 200 tons per day. has led the
management 20 enlarge It's mill since

The changes are now nearly completed,

Each Of them has q capacity Of two

dumped into a No crusher and then
elevated 10 a bin az the top Of the MILL
II will thence be FED into the four re-
naming crushors and reduced until Il

stead of using cars In conveying the

ator. The tailings will be discharged

by the citizens of Redwood county
for the India famine relief fund,
Mrs. Charlotte E. Clancy of Albion,
Michigan, writes: "This gift will
do great good as, though rain has
fallen in some of the famine stricken
country, other parts of it are still
as dry as ever. We are deeply
interested in getting people to un-
dertake the support of orphans,
widows and teachers. Five thou
sand orphans have been taken in by
oar mission alone, and money is
urgently needed. We also need
teachers and preachers to care for
these people. $15 a year supports
an orphan; 500 a year the best
grade of preacher, $50 the second
grade and $50 the lowest grade.
From $40 to $40 supports Bible

Prof. Gilpin made a very success
full experiment in telepathy about
4:3O o'clock Friday afternoon. The
telepathy was carried on with the
subject undergoinga hypnotic sleep
in the window of Aune & Tune. A
committee of citizens had been ap-
poiEted to watch the subject, taking
the exact time and manner of mo-
tions, while another committee went
with Prof Gilpin to the law office of
Judge Chadderdon, where Prof.
Gilpin by mental telepathy, in
structed the patient to turn over,
lay on his side, make motions with
the arms, open his mouth, etc.
When the latter committee COM
pared notes with the committee
watching the sleeper they tailed on
every point The sleeper was one
that Prof. Gilpin uses for his most
difficult work, and the Professor
claimed that be could have carried
