/ knew it was a mean letter when !
wrote 1t, but afterward l concluded
that I must have written a good deal
meaner than l knew. l was counsel
for a large manufacturing company.
One Of their customers, always an un-
satisfactory man to deal with on ac
count of his constant fault finding and
objections to paying his bills on vari-
Gus absurd preteXts, finally refused
point blank to settle q bill for some
$1,000 on tile ground that the goods
were not just as ordered. The COM
pany then instructed me to write him
the worst letter that l could indite,
threatening him with all possible pains
and penalties, legal and otherwise, with
good measure of abuse thrown in, since
they had little hope that he would pay
and less desire for his custom in the
future. Accordingly bent myself to
the task. l hope I'm an honest man,
but can't help saying that that letter
was a stinger. ! suspect that it was
the meanest thing that ever went into
q mail bag
A few days later a messenger from
the manufacturing firm called and ask
ed me to step over to their place cf
business, as there was man there who
wished to meet me. am about 5 feet
4 inches, and my weight averages no
pounds.
When l reached the firms place,
was ushered into the private Office.
The first thing I saw, and about the
only thing visible, was big man who
must have weighed fully 800 pounds.
''Mr. Blank" said the president, "this
is Mr.. Dash, who wrote you that let
ter"
Mr.. Blank arose, shutting of the
light from two windows. For a full
minute he stood looking down at me
with open mouth and bulging eyes.
Then he turned to the others and with
an expression of mingled astOnishment
and disgust on his face said:
"Well, smitten CRsarl II had known
1t was such a little, Insignificant, saw
ed of cricket who wrote me that letter.
I never would have paid that bill!'-

BOOK MAxIMS.

It is better to give a book than to
lend it.
Do not bite a paper knife until it has
the edge Of saw.
Do not cut books except with a
proper ivory knife.
1t is ruination to a good book to cut
it right through into the corners.
. Books are neither card racks, crumb
baskets nor receptacles for dead leaves.
Never write upon title page or half
title. The blank fly leaf is the right
place.
Do not turn the leaves Of books down.
Particularly do not turn the leaves of
books printed on plate paper.
. If you are in the habit Of lending
books, do not mark them. These two
acts together constitute an act Of indB
cretion.
Books were not meant as cushions
nor were they meant to be toasted be-
fore a fire.-Arthur l. Humphreys In

Loomis received a visitor who took so
much interest in the farm, SO liked its
appearance, location, ETC., that the old
Tarmer scented petroleum man and
saw visions Of incalculable wealth:
but, being a shrewd man, Loomis did
not care to take any unnecessary
chances with Providence, and on the
quiet he sent the hired man out the
back way with orders to dump the ker-
osene can into the we'll. The visitor
liked the entire place, inspected the
barn, the chicken yard and then, as If
by chance. asked for drink Of water.
"LoOmis was waiting for that and
hauled up brimEing bucket before

Il don't like to say how wide the lead
is said DR.. Ellis with a smile. for fear
you wouldn't believe me: but l will say
that it is in the neigh borhood Of 380 feet.
We are now prosecuting and driving
through to the hanging wall. The entire
distance is through well mineralize<l rock
carrying fair values in copper and gold.
Through it are slips from one inch to
four feet thick. having on the surface red
oxide of copper like soft clay. This Is
81 per cent copper. You can dip a knife
blade in lemon Juice and rup It OIL this
red co-Her oxide and the steel will be-
come coated with pure copper"
Take the mine all through the ore is
not phenome nally rich: in fact it Is
chiefly low grade ore. The great value
of the property will arise from the i'm
mense quantity of ore which can be
easily worked. 1t is an ideal tunnel site:
1000 feet of denth can be obtained with
LOO feet of tunnel. We have two splen-
did water rights. one from the north
fork of the South Boulder and any guam

there is mine there: and if we have not

DR. Ellis states that they are now put

and value of their mine
