sample correctly. An error in that
part of the work is felt as a dis
grace, just as would be a mistake
in addition in a bank clerk, and
the man who makes it is instantly
discharged. 1t is always advisable
in shipping a small lot of rich ore
to request the smelter not to use it
until you have had the opportu-
nifty to examine the returns and
accept them. This is often done.
Above all things, make complaints
courteousfy, and never fail to ac
knowledge it when the returns (as
they often willy exceed your own
expectations.
AS to prices, remember that no
smelter can afford to pay as high a
price proportionately for small
lot of ore as large one, and do
not expect it. Remember again
that the reduction company de-
pends for his business and profits
on the consignments of yourself
and other miners, that the small
producer of today is often the
large producer of tomorrow, and
that he wants your mineral and is
always ready to pay as high a
price for it as his business neces-
sites will permit. -Mintng Report

month. A year later he became
the general manager of the Wa
bash himself and his salary, which
always keeps abreast with the
man, went up to $4,000 a year.
He continued in his position six
years at salary of $I2, 900 year,
and the Wabash system manager
much in demand by railroads
which needed men such as the
Wabash had found in its hour of
need. Among these roads was
the Grand Trunk. The Grand
Trunk people sent to St. Louis for
Mr.. Hays. They offered to give
him salary of $4,000 year if
he would come, and he made a
contract with them to serve as
general manager FIVE years at this
salary.
The eyes of railroad men follow
ed Mr.. Hays to the Grand Trunk.
His genius for results likewise
followed him there. Within three
years he had become so valuable
to the road that it broke the con-
ditions of its contract with Mr..
Hays and increased his salary to
$4,000 year.
When Coils P. Huntington died
the Southern Pacific railroad was
without a president and the office
was offered to Mr.. Hays, who &C
cepted it.

Many of his Northern friends
will be shocked to learn that Rob
in Redbreast leads a double life.
Well-dressed, jaunty, brimming
over with good nature, devoted to
his wife and babies, he is model
of responsibility. When Robin
goes South for his Winter vaca-
ton he is tempted and falls. 1t
happens this way:
In December and January the
robins find on the Gulf coast a
climate that suits them. They al
so find an ornamental tree bearing
a hard, yellow berry about as large
as a small pea-China berries-of
which they are extremely fond.
The China berry is very danger
GUS food for robins. 1t contains
some narcotic principle that affects

now TO SILL ORE.
Suggestions Which Are Of Value to Miners and
Shippers.

Rich ore when shipped to a
smelter should always be sampled
at the mine and sacked, and its
true value declared to the railroad
that transports it. This may result
in higher shipping rate, but then
the carrying company insures it,
and will pay its value in case of
wreck, or in case of stealing. But
in reality there is no danger of loss
by stealing if the railroad is prop
erly advised of the high value of
the minerals. There is much un-
necessary worry among miners
about their ore. Reputable trans
portation companies like the rail
roads cannot afford to lose goods
committed to them, and in addition,
when they know goods are of high
value, they always take extra pre-
cautions for their protection. 1t is
the same with the smelters. There
was time, twenty years or more
ago, when there were Just causes
for suspicion of few concerns,
whose managers were unscrupu
lous But there is absolutely no
foundation for such ideas now.
The standing of the well-known
smelters is today as high as that of
any banking concern that ever ex-
listed. They could not afford to
have any other kind of a reputa
ton. Sample your ore before ship
ping, ship it in the proper condi
ton, and with due regard to all the
business formalities, get duplicate
bills of lading from the railroads,
keep one of these and mail the
other to the smelter, and then
await the returns in peace. If the
weights and assays do not come
up to your own, write at once
courteously and ask for resample.
1t will always be made, and with
out extra charge. Of course mis-
takes may occur, but the chances
are a thousand to one it will be in
your sample and not in that of the
smelter. 1t is their business to

A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word of most remark
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Deimeator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins .
new century, The Delfneator offers to distri-
butte $l7 500 among 1901 women. The plan
is so cleverly arranged that . woman living in
small town or village, has just - good Q
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes % Q
woman living in q city-because the prizes
are given for the number of subscriptions
secured in q town in proportion 70 the popu-
lation Of that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list Of
ubscribers-which, Of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
Of the plan is, that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities Of the
greatest population are grouped in ClAss /,
and as these cities are not very many the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high
est prize being $500, and the lowest S.. 90.
The total amount of prizes given away in this
class is $1,000. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes, and as
the number of towns in class Increases be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to a class increases 80 that in Casa I,
there will be $4,000 distributed among col
winners
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one Of the 1901 prizes there will b paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in
habitants of the town from which the con.
testsnt sends them.
This is altogether a very liberal offer, and
enc which the famous old Desnaaaer is well
sble to make good. From our point Of view,
we do NOS see why such an offer needs to bs
made by the Publishers of TIE Deliaeator, for
we believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers Its strong hold upon the afec-
tons of American women has come In the
past generation, from its practical Advies
about dress details and home matters.

Few men in the whole wide
world draw a bigger annual salary
than Charles M. Hays, the success
or of the late Coils P. Huntington,
as president of the Southern Pa
cifc railroad. President Mckinley
gets $4,000 a year and Charles M.
Hays gets $1,000 more.
Twenty-seven years ago, at the
age of ro, Charles M. Hays was a
clerk in the San Francisco railroad
Offices in St. Louis with salary of
$40 a month. A few weeks ago
Mr.. Hays, now in his 46th year,
became president of the Southern
Pacific railway, and the second
largest in the world.
Mr.. Hays was Io years old when
he became a clerk in the st. Louis
freight Office of the old Atlantic &
Pacific railroad, now the Frisco.
He was native of Rock Island,
Ill. He entered the St. Louis
office in November of 1873. He
began pushing himself the day he
went to work. In March of the
following year he had pushed him
self from the $40 per month posit-
ion into a place in the auditors
Office, which paid $50 month.
Next he became a clerk in the
superintendent's office and in 1883
secretary to the general manager.
In two years he was assistant gen.
eral manager at salary of $500 a

a robin just as alcohol affects a
man. 1t makes Robin drunk, and
when he is drunk he acts precise
ly like drunken man. Exhilarat-
ed at first, he dances about and
sings in a "We-won't-go-home-till- i'll
morning" sort of a way. This
happy condition is soon followed
by a drunken stupor--the bright
eyes grow dull, the head droops,
and the bird loses all sense of dan
ger. While in this stupid state
the negro boys easily pick the
birds from the low branches, where
they are perched. After a little
the birds recover, but only to
hunt more China berries. As
long as there are China berries
Robin is consistently and presist-
emily drunk. He apparently eats
the berries for the single purpose
of getting drunk and because he
likes it. He isn't hungry, for he
is gorged with the berries to such
an extent that when, as sometimes
happens, he misses his drunken
hold and falls to the ground he
bursts open, SO stuffed is he.
Now, it must not be thought
that even a robin can undergo
this sort of debauch for a month
or six weeks without its having
some effect on him. Robin soon
loses his self-respect, grows rag
ged, neglects his bath and appears
generally disreputable. He is a
very sad-looking bird, and North
ern visitors who don't know about
China berries can't understand
what has caused the change. He
reforms when he must-that is,
when the China berries are all
gone, but until then he apparent
ly never thinks of it.
With the disappearance of the
China berries the birds begin to
think of their Northern homes,
their family duties, and a more
prosaic but healthful diet of straw
berries and angle worms. In Feb
ruary they gather in countless
thousands in the cane brakes of
Tennessee and Alabama, apparent
ly waiting only for warmer wealth
er before beginning their migra-
ton. At this season the visitor
from the North who would about
as soon think of eating the pet
canary, finds robin pie" com
mon dish on Southern tables. On
inquireing he finds that the robins
are slaughtered by the thousands.
Men with torches and clubs visit
the roosts by night and knock the
dazed birds off their perches in
great numbers.
