SkiTlNG MINES

The scientific prospector OF today goes
armed with accurate knowledge which
enables him to ascertain the relative
value OF mines. says Truth. To him the
old-fashioned deception of sailing
mines" has no terrors. 1t is impossible
for person to salt mine today, so
that the expert mining engineer. who is
a chemist and an assayer as well, Is de-
ceved into reporting the mine 20 be
worth much more than it's actual value.
The early trick OF the mine salters was
simply to mix little dust, and small
pieces OF unrehned gold. In the dirt. so
that upon a superficial examination IL
would seem as II rich vein had been
struek--A few -snllndlina- cases like this
served TO put the prospectors on their
guard, and they determined 10 see and
test more of the dirt than that found on
the surface. Then followed the more ex-
act method of sailing the mine by fosdtny
"A shot gun with fakes, and small pieces
OF gold, and shooting them into the vein
OF ore. For n while this succeeded very
well with the placer miners. who would
very often purchase a salted mine for n
large sum. and discover the swindle

trated the fraud had escaped
The modern mining expert would smile
az such a simple sailing method today.

have improved with the skill OF the ex-
perts. and the engineer sent out to ex-
anime a mine I'm the Interests Of capital

There are some men who can salt mines

There IL some very good scenery, es-
pecially in the last act and the fine stage
settings come I'm for warm applause. A
funny thing about the production is the
varying sizes of those seen on the stage.
There are some very small people seen
and there are some very big ones, too.
The big ones are seen at times as police-
men and az other times as Liiliputians
One of the prettiest things seen at this
theatre Is the colored lights during the
dances. The lights made such very pretty
stage pictures at times that the applause
was very spontaneous.
There are various scenes in the produc-
ton. from car strike 10 a fairy land
incident. But the production viii delight

old. Some OF the merry pranks are made
much more jolly by the size of the parties

are many factory chimneys. Do not
try for the fashionable capitals. Leave
them for the ambassadors. Go where
the air is murky, for there business is

and fees mean a good income for the

In the course of his chat the con
gresham made the general statement
that consulS who are making the most
money from fees are the quietest. most
unassuming. accomplishing employees
of the government. They do not set
up claims for salary instead Of fees

"One OF the most profitable consul
ships Is that of Liverpool. The salary

''Tha:'s very strange" said the sales

The man again placed the watch to

truth became apparent. The hair which
