ory enough TO induce the h cago
tirancer to take an option on the
property and proceed TO develop
it,
"The work 80 far has resulted IN II
shaft forty feet deep, from which
three tons of mass copper nave been
taken. Preparation for increasing the
working facilities are being made,
and have been ordered. When they
are installed the work will proceed
more rapidly than ever. ore
is now being taken out at the rate
of 300 pounds n day.
"There is considerable eveidence
that the range is continuation of the
Michigan ranges. The Wisconsin
state geologist has given that as his
opinion, and so has Capt. Dunn, who
says that the ROCKS are of the same
character as those on keeweenaw
Point.
"The news that John W. Gates has
become interested on the Wisconsin
range will be received with enthusi-
asm by all who believe that copper
exists there. The explorations up
to this time have been conducted by
people and companies who were not
oVerburdened with funds, and after
going down some distance, We're
forced to abandon their work until
they could replenish their treasures.
Mr. Gates has the money TO give the
range thorough exploration, and
having taken mold of it, will undoubt-
edly do SO. He will prove to his own
satisfaction that copper does not
exist there before he quits, and he
knows well, too, that he may have to
go to great depth. Explorations
for copper in the Lake Superior
region are expensive, and the amount
that he will put into it will be large,
but to man of his millions it will be
a comparatively small venture, and
with the chance of great financial re-
ward Mr. Gates is known to be a
man who takes long chances, and
will spend his money freely where
there is a large stake to be won in
case of success"

WIDOW

BY John Arthur

When Farmer John Phillips got tan.
gled up in n thrashing machine, he left
widow behind him, and he hadn't
been buried four weeks when people
began to wonder if she wouldn't get
married again as soon as dcccncy per.
mitted. or course most of them con.
cludcd that she would. and they add.
ed another conclusion TO it-yi2. That
they pitied her second husband, As n
wife the woman had always seemed
to feel Il bit above other farmers wives,
and as widow il was their duty to
gossip and make things unpleasant for
her.
For time the second husband was
an unknown quantity, but ut length
farmhouse gossip pitched upon Deacon
Spooner. He was well to do and
widowcr, and II had long been suspect.
ed that he had his eye out for second
wife. Gossip was wrong, however.
In the dim past Mrs. Phillips had had
occasion to give the deacon a blowing
up over n sale of n load of hay, and. as
she did it in plain English ana used
lots of exclamation points, he had nev.
er found it in his heart to forgive her.

way 10 the widow in due timc ms n
matter of course, but she refused to
make any criticisms In reply In time
the deacon caImcd down, and the gOs-
sip died ont, but after events proved
that the widow was only biding her
time.
one summer day, almost n year after
her bereavement, Deacon SpuOnCr
started for the village IN his old rocka-
way. At the west corner of the wild

Spooner hadn't forcgone II because OF
the strained relations. ON this day, as
he came opposite the bog, the old horse
made as If to bolt, and the deacon pull

The deacon didn't hnye to hunt far
for the nag, but as he was digging out

he found himself stuck fast There
was quicksand at the bottom of that
hole, He seized the hummocks and

AN ARKANSAS SNAKE.
A Region Where Even the Frogs
Are Made Wretched by
ChiIIs and Fever.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.)

New Orleans Tines-Democrat)
1.-THE Arkansas chill is distinctive"
said man from the swamp region Of
that State "and I am sure there Is
nothing like it in any other State or IN
any other region of the world have
seen a good many chills. good many
different types of chills, in my wander
ing over the country. but I do not hes-
tate to make the claim that Arkansas
product is in class by itself. There
is the chill, for instance, which is Pc
culiar to the Ohio Valley, and II you
will take my word for it, it is no easy
thing on ones system. There is chill
peculiar to the swampy regions of west
Tennessee, which consists of a series
of lazy yawns. a feeling of sluggishness
and a little fever. It is a sort of dumb
chill.
But for the genuine chill, the article
that will shake you until your joints
pop, you want to cross the river and go
over into Arkansas There you Will
find the peculiar brand I had In mind
when I began this story. It seems to
be indigenous to the soil, and, some
seen men have everyday chills, and
third-day chills, and chills every nine
DAYS I have seen men engaged IN
farming in the ST. Francis basin shake
until they would almost jar the mud
| chimneys down at the end of the shack
! They would simply shake the whole
house, and you could hear their teeth
rattle a hundred yards from the house
I heard man say a few years ago, and
he had lived in that section good long
time, that three fourths Of the crop OF
red pepper was consumed every year in
an effort to keep the chills off. They are
great believers in red pepper as rem
edy for chiils Of course. l am not
vouchins for this red-pepper statement,
although know personally that the clt1-
zens Of the section use it a great deal
in an effort to break the chills. How
much of the crop they use do not know,
but from what [ know about the annual
crop of chills should say they used
considerable amount of pepper. Quinine
is also used in the sections which are able
to support physicians, but red pepper is
the remedy in the out-of-the-Way places.
Speaking of chills, when was up IN
that section of the country l used TO
get a fendish sort of satisfaction out Of
seeing a frog shake for an hour, and he
would do nothing but get into some sunny
place. blink his eyes, and blow When
he would quit shaking he would make a
break for the water ard [ knew then that
his pulse was beating faster and the fe-
yer was coming on. Oh. yes; I've seen
frogs shake with the Arkansas type OF
chil!s until you could imagine YOU heard
their teeth chattering. All Of which goes
to show what I said in the beginning,
and that is that the Arkansas chit! is
peculiar, distinctive, unique in all re-
