inches deep, and fifteen inches wide,
standing upon four legs about three
feet above the ground. Water from the
pump is is turned on, and the dirt is
5loosened, allowing the shot to drop to the
bottom while the dirt is washed out at

When the greater part of the earth has
been washed away the deposit in the bot

stones and other foreign substances, is
placed in a second box with a wire netting

after which the stones are picked out and

There 1t is recast into perfect shot or into

The resurrected shot sells for $3.50 for
l0O POUNDS, price very little less than
virgin lead. The difference in price is due
to the presence of anthony, which must
be removed before casting. Selling at this
price, the two men are clearing $40 a
day, and some days, by working extra
hard, then net as much as $50.
So successful have Cooley and Britton
been that they are now looking over the
mines of a similar nature. All over the
country there are abandoned shooting
grounds, and .on several Of these they
have secured leases.-New York Times.

Across the Missouri is located the Oma-

shoots have been held for the last
twelve years. Some time ago A. H.
Cooley. formerly superint endent : of the
Barton-Nash Stone company, and Thomas
Br!tton, formerly vice president Of the
Brltton Engine company, were walking
over THESE grounds, and noticed that at
certain place the earth was covered
Win a layer of shot. At once the idea
came TO them that here was a paying
mine It they could secure the right to
work. it, and keeping their discovery
secret, they called upon the officers Of the
club ana proposed to lease that particular
spot for mining purposes.
They were laughed at, but secured the
lease. 1t included tract Of ground ex-
tending from the shooting box a distance
OF 500 feet, with about 300 feet on either
side. 1T is over this tract that the shot
intended for clay and live pigeons fly.
How much of it has been buried in the
ground is a question still to be determined.

great quantity of it, and the owners of

There would be danger in describing
Congressman Blank closely, for some OF
his constituents are strict temperance
people and it might affect his vote when
he comes up for reelection. In a gem

the perpetual blush of much good fellow

past Of American statesmanship and he
