as the Fay, the original NAM given
the mine at the~tiineof its discovery
by Mr.. Fay and associates some
twenty months ago, is to be opened

Virginia district.
The mine is: now owned bx Pick

and under direction of General
Manager Munger an amount of ex,
Ploratory work has been going on
at the properly for some weeks past.
The work was at first directed to-
ward opening the. property as a
stripping proposition, but after
a careful survey of the ore. body the
idea OF an open mine was abandon
ed and preparations are now in pro-
gress for the immediate opening of
the mine as an Underground prop
osition.
The work of development. will be
in direct charge Of Capt. John Ros.
killey, of 1shpeming. Two shafts,
5xlO, two compartments, will be
sunk this winter and the property
put in shape to enter the Shipping
list during the coming season.
The new mine will be known az
the Minorca. The ore body is one
of questionable extent, but is known
to fully warrant the proposed work

PROPERTY.

: The lincoln nine; owned ild i =bby s;
the Jones & Ladghlin interests and
numbered among the latest of the
active operators of the Virginia
group, is being proven as an enor-
nous proposition and it's status in
the industrial and commercial up
building of Virginia is no longer
problematical. ..., ....'
Drill explorations, which have
been carried on at the mine for
some months past, have proven a
big body of high grade ore, the
work done proving the width of the
ore body for some $50 feet, extend
ing the entire length OF one forty,
and also found on both ends of an
other. The work thus far done has
shown body of ore estimated at
100000 tons.
The company, under direction of
Supt. Falrbairn, also gives evidence
of intent to develop and work same
on big scale. The new shaft sunk
during the autumn is down to the
first level, which is being opened
preparatory to rooming and active
mining: The surface improve
ments and machinery plants at the
property are also of the best, and
with the grade and structural QUAIL
ity of the ore it is safe to predict
that the Lincoln is one of the COM
ing giants of the Mesaba.
AT the Baker, near Buhl, owned
by the same people, exploratory
work has proven a body of high
grade ore, very similar to that en-
countered at the Lincoln.

Boer Leaders Disagree.

London, April 1S.-Serious differ
ences, it is said, have arisen between
the Transvaal and Free State dele
gates who are discussing peace terms
at Pretoria. General Botha and Act
ing President Schalkburger, it is re-
ported, have given the Free State rep
resentatives until Aprit 81 to come
to a decision, threatening that there
after the Transvaal delegation will
continue the peace negotiations inde-
pendently Of the Free States dele
gates. 1t is further declared that
Botha and Schalllburger had practical
ly agreed upon terms for surrender
prior to their visit to Klerksdorp, but
that out of loyalty to their allies they
insisted on conference though with
slight hopes that their views should
be shared by General Dewet and the
other Free State leaders.

ACCEPT BRITISH TERMS
Basis of Peace Said to Have
Been Agreed Upon.
DETAILS YET TO BE SETTLED
London Paper Claims to Have Author
ity for Making the Announcement.
Asserts British Ultimatum Was De.
livered and Accepted.

London, April 1S.-The Daily Mail
claims to have authority to announce
that the bases of peace have been prac-
tically agreed on at Pretoria, but says
that some little time will elapse be-
fore the details Of the plan can be per-
fected.
The paper adds that upon finding
that the British government refused
on Wednesday to modify it's terms
with regard to amnesty, banishment
and responsible government the
Boer delegates met again on Thursday.
The British decision practically leav-
ing them the alternative of accepting
the British terms or breaking up the
conference was then communicated to
them and the delegates proved more
reasonable. When Lord Miner, the
British high commissioner in South
Africa, promised the delegates one or
two seats in the executive council, sub
ject to the approval of the government
and pending the restoration of re-
sponsible government, they practically
agreed to accept the British terms.
Some details, continues the Daily
Maii which are not likely to create
difficulty, still remain to be settled.
Lord Miner has summoned from Jo-
hannesburg an Australian expert, who
is to assist in estimating the cost of
rebuilding and restocking the Boer
farms. The delegates. concludes the
paper, have so far acted quite indie
pendently of their representatives in

LIQUID PHOTOGRAPHIC LENS.
Tests Which Have Demonstrated Sue
cess of the Discovery by Physician.


From the New York Times.
The liquid lens has not come to America
as yet, but from all accounts 1t is revolu-
tionizing photography abroad, making pos
sble achievements in rapid work that hith
erto have been thought to be out of the
question. In fact, the new development in
photograph art is being hailed no less
wonder than the Rontgen rays.
For, by using certain oil between the
parts of rectilinear lens, the refraction
is so increased that instantaneous photo
graphs may be made in the ordinary light
of a theater. This is but one Of the photo
graphic feats possible. Another is to take
photograph at midnight on pitch-black
night with no apparent light IN fifteen min
utes. A third is to make a photcgrapn "a
midnight, with fair moon. with one min
ute's exposure.
Other tested possibilities of this new lens
are no less extraordinary. A photograph
may be taken in theater, the footlights
only being used, in a quarter second of ex-
posture. In an ordinary room, with an ex-
posture OF but five seconds. photograph

ioti the idIi MILL
We have never understood the popular
sentiment which regards head free from
hair as disgra ceful or ridiculous object
That the sentiment is as old as it Is wide
spread is shown by the story of Elisha and
the hooking boys The sentiment is also
shared by the public prosecutor at Cracow.
There is club of baId-he AIDED men in that
city, and they asked Archduke Charles
Stephen to become their honorary presi-
dent; the public prosecutor heard Of their
appeal and instructed proceedings to be
taken against the petitioners for an insult
to one of the royal family. We are glad to
say that the archduke interviewed and the
case was quashed, although his royal high
ness felt unable to accept the proffered
honor. That officious public prosecute
must hold similar views to those of al COM
rade in long-ago Spain, who regarded 1t as
indicate to suggest that the Queen of
Spain had legs. Meanwhile, we look for
ward to the time when a smooth, clean
pate shall be as honorable and fashionable
as a clean-shaven face is now.

Raising the Wind.
From Parsons Weekly.

When certain late Shah OF Persia be-
came temporarily embarrassed for money
he had quite unique method Of filling his
purse. He would go to the market, where,
after examining the shops, he would Sc
lect one and. turning to the proprietor
would say: ''Will you take me in as a
partner In your business for the day?'
The offer was, of course, accepted. The
shah would take his seat near the shop
entrance and say to his courtiers, whom
he always took with him on these occa-
sions: Now, I'm the salesman. Who'll
buy?" The latter, not daring to refuse the
offers of the royal merchant, set about
clearing the shop OF its contents, paying
sometimes $3.50 for goods that were not
worth $50. No one was allowed to beat
down prices or to leave the place without
making purchases. When everything was
sold the shah had list OF the cost price
Of each article made out, and loyalty shared

profit realised

ton of the reservation in front of Center
market, extending for two blocks on Penn

II trust, in common with all citizens of
the capital who are DESTROYS of seeing it's
parks brought to the highest state of i'm
provement possible, that the timely sugges-
ton made by The Star will bear fruit with
in reasonable time.
Now that attention has been called so

it can but be noticed how far it is behind
our other small parks though it is in the
