A WOMAN MINERS PLUCK.

gerous Toll.

Works Herself at the Hard and Dam
gerous Toll.
A story comes from Arizona which
shows what can be accomplished by
the energy and determination which
often lies beneath the fair exterior Of
woman's frame. Mrs John Kay lives
near Kingman, Ariz. She has a hus-
band and family Of children Her
husband is a hard-working man, but
his earnings barely suffice for the daily
necessities Of the family. and several
years ago she decided that she would
engage in mining for herself.
She had no money to pay for the
development Of her claim. but she had
pair Of tender, but willing, hands and
arms, and did not hesitate 30 sacrifice
their beauty and mar their fair proper
tions in the effort 30 provide a future
for her family. She took the drill and
hammer in her own hands, and, with
infinite patience, wrought the holes in
the rock. says Ores and Metals. She
cut the fuse, bit the cap. tamped the
charge, went back into the smoke to
look Tor results, and wheeled out the
muck. and kept up this work for years
Progress was slow, for she washed
and baked and made and hemmed for
her children. but there was no thought
of failure in her mind, and no dream of
rest until 1t had been earned.
A few weeks since her reward came
AS she went into the tunnel after
round of shots she found big chunks
of ore literally plastered with horn and
native silver, assays running at high as
$1,000 to the ton. The vein is opened
and is rich, and now she is superin-
tending with force Of men taking out
wealth for rher.-Washington Times.

Rear Admiral ]. A. Howell Of the
United States navy, popularity known
as the father of the modern torpedo"
because of his invention of that engine
Of war, is credited by the Toronto Sat
urday Night with knowing why he mar
ried, piece Of knowledge which some
unmarried persons seem to regard as
uncommon.
1t was generally believed that he was
welded TO the science of warfare, and
1t was a surprise to the entire navy
when married a charming woman.
A number Of years after his marriage
fellow officer visited Admiral Howell.
and saw the children of the distinguish
ed sailor playing about the house.
ITS like a dream, old man. said
the visitor. I'VE never thought of your
getting married. How did you happen
to think about it,"
"Oh," replied Admiral Howell, glanc-
ing affectionately at his children at
play, II got tired Of being referred to
merely as the father of the modern

OUR SOIL is RICH IN GEMS.
Where American Precious Stones Have
Been Found by Miners.

The report of the geological survey.
just compiled for 1901, shows that dur
Ing that year there were mined I'm the
United States precious stones TO the
value OF about 100000. When talking
about rare and beautiful gems ones
thoughts naturally revert to South AZ
rica or the Orient or the mountains OF
Asia and Europe, or perhaps to South
America, but one IL not likely to think
OF our own 1and yielding them; but
the fact is that no Insignificant value
In gems Is taken from the soil right
here Mt home. The report OF the geo
logical survey shows that during that
year we mined In the United States
precious stones TO the value Of about
100000.
Diamonds represent only 500 of this
amount, but the fact that they are
found at all gives encouragement to
the hope that paying fields of them
may some time be found. Last year
one diamond was found In Lee County,
Georgia. where diamonds were not be-
fore known TO exist. New Mexico fur
nished $l1S,0O0 In turquoises, and these
have been placed on the market. Mon
tana gave us $4,000 In sapphires,
which come next. They come from
Fergus County. Granite County ia
now being explored for fancy colored
sapphires, that give evidences OF
being there In paying quanti-
ties. Fine and extensive rhodolIte
garnet deposits are found In Macon
County. North Carolina. Many dark
green, blue and yellow beryls, as well
as amethysts and emeralds, were
found in that State. There Is hardly
a State OF the Union In which there is
not some trace OF precious stones and
It appears not at all unlikely that be-
fore many years we may be competing
with the old world in furnishing gems.
