Boston, March S.--A bill for survey by
the state OF teh proposed route for ship

ton. Mr.. Garfield was the principal
speaker. He explained 10 the committee
that the bill which called for an appro
priation of $1,000 for the proposed survey.

penses for the work described. He de-
scribed briefly tho route suggested for the

taken before a great while. He said that

The Independent Copper Mines.

Nothing makes money faster
than a good copper mine, and
when the conditions are right, and
the management honest and con-
sentative, nothing offers a better
Inducements investors. Eighteen
and twenty per cent is not consid-
ered hazardous western profit or
excessive dividend on the majority
of our gilt edged mining securities.
While millions have been lost
in railroads, real estate and mortga-
ges, eastern industrials and build
ing and loan associations, the
American mining industry steadily
advances, making enormous pro-
fits for it's supporters, building
great states and cities, and points
with pride to the American pos
session of 255 mines that have
paid in dividends over 1926, OOO, 900.
The employment of $4,000 in
mining stock is equivalent to $780,
600 in any other branch ofindustry.
Nature has laid her treasures in
the mountain recesses of the west.
The American miner searches
them out. Eastern money makes
possible their conversion into bull
lion, and the joint results of the
miner and the capitalist make the
tremendous profits and signalize
successful mining.
The independence copper mines,
located about six miles from New
port, a station on the Great North
ern railway, one mile and a half
from Pend d. Orieile river, Ste-
vens county, Washington, has all
the elements Of success-large
bodies of high grade ore, the low
est possible cost in mining and
milling, no expensive machinery
to install and maintain, a conser-
vative and honest management,
ocation right in the midst of the
best mines in Washington.
There appears to be no reason
why the expectations of the
management will not be more than
realized. We know of no better
investments than independence
copper mining stock at present
price, and: confidently predict it's
gradual advance to very much
higher prices in a short time.
We have no debts, liabilities,
liens, law suits or adverse claims.
Stock NOT assessable. We have
the best copper prospects on Cop
per Hill Mountain, and those
fortunate enough to get a block of
stock at these low prices will veri-
fy this statement in the near
future. I will be pleased to give
prices and terms upon application

waketul and anxious. there was no sleep
for Dorothy tina night. after seeing Dig
CORY safely on his way. she followed him in
,magins ton across the moor. and pictured
his meeting with her brothers. The very
thought Of them made her long impatiently
to see them. and she felt almost tempted
to follow Diegory's example ard make her
exit from the window by means OF the rope.
but prudence said NO" and Dorothy had
been well trained in habits OF self-control
The long night passed at last. ana ct
daybreak she heard the tramp Of feet in the
corridor, and the men entered the picture
gallery. Then Wild shouting and rushing
told her that Diggory's escape was discov-
cred. and that the storm would be nc slight
one. Soon she heard Stei.ax's voice raised
above the din.
"Saddle your horses: some 60 one way.
som. another. NJ. Leigh and I Will search
here. Go TO the buttery and take what pro-
visions you need: there IS no time TO waste.
The bird has Town. Leigh" as that gentle
man approached film. and I cannot tell
how he went. or who could have assisted
him: there are the cords which bound his
arms and legs. and that Is all. I have sent
the men to scour the country in different
GAftItAtfAE. oAa W. ia AaAA@ e
search the house"
The voices died away. and Dorothy took
counsel with herself. what was best to be
done.
Her FIRST thought was to tell her father
Of her share in Disgory's escape. but then
she resolved TO keep Il 20 herself. as the
telling might involve him in danger.
Entering the hall. she found the troopers
tevouring a hasty meal. and Mr.. Leigh
roughly accosted her.
where Is the prisoner. Nanns. young
mistress, He has escaped. We wot not how.
bot we will have him yet. Had you any
hand IN the matter? Were you indoors
last right7-
Where should ! be, SIR. but in my cham
herr was the reply. "A maiden loveth
not TO be about where soldiers are. but I
will go to my father. so please you"
Leigh would have said more. but Dorothy
was already gone. and the expression on
his face was m~alevolent in the extreme as
he looked after her. His hopes OF winning
the Manor were fast fading away. and
should Mr.. Lvelis prove refractory. and
order him from the house. he would have
70 &c.
His p-rcsent,ments were soon fulfilled. as
the soldiers, having finished their meal,
were ready to depart. when the Squire.
looking stern and resolute. entered the hall.
You lave heard our prisoner has es-
capped" said Stelfax. and We must find
him: ten of the troop. as I said. shall Join
their regiment. but the others 1 must quar-
ter here til the neishborhood is thoroughly
