vocated as a cure for sickness. Lycur-
gus brought back from India and
Egypt to Lacedaemonia notions of med
ico-religious dances and enacted that
the Spartan youth should be brought
up gracefully and symmetrically. In
Greece Socrates commended dancing
with view to educating the mind and

NOTES FOR MINERS.

Hook Bros, Of Perris, have shipped
bullion to the amount OF $42, 1926 during
the year of 1899. This is quite show
ing for that district, when it is known
that the shipments from the large
mines are Independent from this list.
The Silver King, a silver-lead prop
osition of Park City, Utah, has al
ready paid 100000 in dividends this
year, and it is said will declare anoth-
err before the end of the year. Notwith-
standing the>low price of silver, with
improved methods of mining and treat
ment, there are very few of heretofore
profitably worked silver mines, through
out the country, that are now lying
idle.

mill Of the American Steel and Wire Com
pany reopened this morning and that the
rod mill would reopen next week
In regard TO the closing OF the Federal
Steel Mills. Judge Gary. President Of the
Federal Steel Company, said:
Il have received no information from
there and therefore cannot give particu-
lars My impression is that il is a matter of
less Importance than appears from the des-
patches. We have a billet mill at Joliet
which makes about 3.0e0 tons a month and
a rod mill. Ths rod mill has been closed
since the American Steel and Wire Com
pany received an extension on its con-
tracts.
Il am inclined to believe that the reports
are exaggerated as TO the number of men
thrown out of work One of our rod mills
closed a week or so ago when the mills OF
the American Steel and Wire Company
closed"
CHICAGO. May 7.-Speaking Of the shut
down of the Joliet mills, E. ]. Burlington

If the mills have closed, it must be for re-
