Mr.. Goodale is at the present time in

made.
During his occupancy of the position
here Superintendent Goodale has been
one of the most successful of those who
have filled this charge. During all the
time the smelter has been busy and
many have been the improvements made

therefore the new position which has
been assigned to him will be one as we'll

has filled with so much credit.
Mr. Morrow has been in the Boston

in Buying of Pictures.

(By Associated Press.)
London, Nov. S.-"The statement that
Charles T. Yerkes paid 916,00O ($80,OOO)
for two Turner's, has evoked emphatic
denial from that gentleman, according to
a London correspondent.
The pictures in question, which hung
in Mr.. Yerkes' private office in the Ham
ilton building. are both early works of
the famous English artist, one of them
In Sunny Italy," being hardly recog-
nizable as Turner at all.
THE price has been greatly exagger-
ated," said Mr.. Yerkes in answer to an
inquiry. II would not pay any such
price. Pictures which sell at these alb
surd prices are as a general rule not
worth anything like that amount. and
such reports I regard as mischievious to
art itself. Foreigners do not pay any
such price for works of art. 1t is LETT
for Americans to do the ridiculous In this
respect"
What about the duty on pictures
shipped to American" was asked.
THE duty in the past as compared
with the present is remarkable, to say the
least" replied Mr.. Yerkes.
Before the present tariff went into
operation all the pictures painted before
1900 were admitted free.
American artists have always con-
tended that they did not desire nor re-
auire protection. The old masters surely
cannot be accused of being in competition
with American artists.
ut is to be hoped that the United
States will not be left as the only nation
in the world which compels duty to be
paid on works of art

knell and though the man is alive now.

NOT MUCH GOING ON
LEXINGTON PROPERTY WILL NOT
BE STARTED UP YET AWHILE.
COPPER ORE IN THE NINE
Fourteen Men Are Extracting It on
Days Pay-It Was Not Disturbed
While the Red Metal Was
at Bed Rock Price.

The recent rumor to the effect that
operations would soon be resumed on the
Lexington property at WalkerNllle was
without foundation. yet it is just pos
sible that something Will be done IN case
q teaching process for separating and
saving the metal in sulphuret ore is dis
covered by some one of the many chem-
lists who are working on it. 1t is much
easier to separate and save the metal
in oxidized ore than that IN sui
phuret ore by such a process. but the
Lexington mines do not contain vast
quantity of the oxidized class. There is
plenty of sulphuret ore in them. how
ever, and some time it will be taken out.
Some of the Walkerville mining in
terests have undergone a change during
the last few years. What was once the
Lexington company's property is now
owned by Edward Berthemet, who pur-
chased it at the time the company went
into liquidation. The shaft on the Lex
ington mine proper is about l5oo 1eet
deep, but it now contains 500 feet or
water. Above the water thirteen or
fourteen men are kept constantly en-
ployed taking out ore on days pay In
one part of the mine the ore contains
copper for which metal this ore is being
taken out and sold. Years ago when the
price of the red metal was about half
what it is at present the copper ore was
not disturbed. but it now yields very
handsome profit
Gold and Silver.
The Lexington is practically a gold
and silver mine and several millions OF
dollars in these metals have been eX-
tracted from the ore of the veins. For
wears it was operated by the Lexington
company which not only owned the
Lexington group of mines, but also the
9O-stamp mill which comprises part
of the property. Neither the mines nor
the mill have been worked to their ca
pacity since the slump in silver in 1893.
The mill has not dropped stamp since
then, but when the company owned the
property considerable silver gold ore was
extracted from the mines by lessees.
There are many miles of openings in
the mines, especially the Lexington
proper. and if MI Berthemet ever re-
sumes operations in them the task OF
pumping the water from the workings
will not be a small one. However. there
is plenty of ore between the 600 and the
surface that can be taken out While
the pumping is in progress.
