ing interested III claims will use his
privilege % boom things in the col,
umns OF his paper, in order to profit
thereby. Township companies are
also prone to boom the mines to make
or increase the demand for town lots.
Again, a certain class OF miners will
salt two or three claims or pros,
poets, and make the people believe
they are rich, causing as much trou-
Bile as the above mentioned cores

one is just as bad as the other and
Is bound to be found out in time and
brought to face the mischief, when his
plumage will turn the other way.
In Rociada our object is to induce
capital to come and invest in our
claims. and to develop them into pay
ing mines. Only few claims have
been taken up in our district of about
one hundred square miles, and the
country Is practically open to the
prospector and miner, likewise to the
capitalist. We do not advertise gold
nuggets and native silver at grass
roots. nor do we state that they are
to be found at all, but we do claim
a good copper camp with values in
gold and silver, and will 90 as far as
to say that one sample assayed gave
returns OF six ounces in gold to the
ton. Another property which did not
look very promising on the surface,
when assayed at depth of fifty feet,
ran seven dollars and some cents in
gold with prospects OF better values
at greater depth, Others all over
the camp show some gold and silver,
but as we stated above, the predomi-
mating metal is copper.
In writing Of the rich strike in the
Azure, some days ago, we said that
some of the old miners thought the
ore would run 35 per cent copper. A
Denver paper commented on the strike i

day were encouraging at 10 o'clock.
A fine seven knot breeze was blowing
out southeast, the sea fairly was
smooth and the horizon clear for
many miles. There was every indi-
cation that the wind would hold
throughout the day, giving the yachts,
especially the Shamrock, every oppor-
tunity to prove their worth over the
thirty mile triangular course, which,
according to the program, must be
sailed in the second contest. Sham
rock had new main sail and to those
ashore it looked like very much i'm
prOvement over the old one.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The regatta
committee signaled triangular course
south for first leg other two legs north
east by east one half east and north
west by west. The starting gun was
fred at II o'clock. The Reliance
crossed the line first. Unofficial start
ing time: Reliance, 11:00:27; Sham
rock, 11.02. Apparently the Shamrock
is handicapped about twenty-five Sec
onds as she held away too long and
crossed that much after the handicap
gun was fired.

A new romantic story, Veronica by Martha ". Austin, published by Dou- bleday, Page & Company, is one which will undoubtedly find much favor with large and discerning class of readers. It is characterized throughout by a rare delicacy of style and cannot fail to interest the reader. It is, as is ex- cellently said in the Brooklyn Times, written in a refined, graceful literary style. The incidental descriptions of nature are marked by fine feeling and exquisite imagery" Veronica is young southern girl, an idealist, with temperament highly sensitive to the beauty of nature and to music. She is betrothed to a man, young, like herself, and upon him she showers the wealth of an affection as only such a nature in early youth can give. He is selfish and inconstant. In spite of his caprices, Veronica loves him, until at last her pride revolts, and she breaks her en- gagement She makes the mistake of thinking it is sufficient happiness to be loved devotedly, and allows herself to enter into a second engagement, out of
 
 womanly desire to be loved. She soon discovers the error and eventually mairies man she learns to love from strong feeling of pity The first part of the story is especially good. but the second half is less convincing
 Veronica has in fact three lovers. The first is loved with the passionate fervor of early youth and the awaken ing of the sensitive beautiful girl to the fickleness and inconsistency of her lover, ito find that her idyllic dream is shat tered is artistically pictured. The second lover is of constant type, one whose manliness and eanestness of affection appealed to the maiden strongly, yet he could not win her heart, which was reserved for one whose spiritual. sympathetic nature touched the chords of her being with responsive symphonic power. It is an idealistic book and it's gifted au- thor understands the subtler shades of

An important article in the April
 Cosmopolitan deals with the "Ameri-
 canization of the Canadian Northwest" by William R. Stewart. It shows among other things that during the two years ending June 90 last. more than sixty thousand persons from North and South Dakota. Minnesota, Illinois. Wisconsin, Montana and Utah took farms in the Canadian west, bringing with them property and stock 1 conservatiyely estimated as being worth thirty million dollars. In the three years preceding. at least thirty thousand other settlers had crossed over from the United States, and since 1890 it is estimated that there has
 grown up in western Canada a com munity of one hundred and thirty-five thousand American farmers, growers
 of wheat. corn and flax. It is said that they are practically carrying the views and hopes of the United States into their new homes. A personal sketch of Bjornsterne Bjornson is entertainingly
 written and is illustrated with num-
 Der of beautiful photographs of the po- cts home. ''To Love or To Be Loved" is a philosophical essay, by Lavinia Hart, in the course of which she de- clares that love increases beauty. Ju-
 lian Ralph tells of Famous Cures and
 Humbugs of Europe" and there are
 many excellent sketches and stories, seventeen of the latter, and more than
 hundred illustrations.
 Home and Flowers for March is
 fine number, with spring breathing
 through every page. It opens with an
 article on Simplicity, Culture and
 Beauty in Colonial and Southern Life,'
 by Cephas Shelburne, which is illustra- ted with pictures of typical southern
 homes. Other good reading in this
 number includes '"The Blue Room of the Soul" by William H. Hamby; 'Fhe
 Fairyland of Home," by Danske Dand-
 ridge; more chapters of MT. Rexford's
 story, Winning Her Way and a
 great deal about Horticulture, that will
 be timely reading just now for those in
 the southern and middle states, and for us a little later on. The whole maga-
 zine is finely illustrated, and is good one for the home.

Joseph A. Altshelers new story Be fore the Dawn," certainly is one of the best novels issued in twelve month. Its scenes are laid in and about Rich mond when the Confederacy was in it's death struggle, with Grant gradually closing in with an iron grasp upon Lees tattered brigades. The pen pie lures of the battles of the Wilderness, the long and closing combat before Richmond, are among the most vivid ever written concerning this terrific struggle. They form chapter of in tense interest. Civil war veterans who were ill those scenes of carnage will recognize the truthfulness of the de- scription.
 But the war is but background for the story. It deals with lovers and their perils, with society in Richmond during the year just preceding its cap ture; scheming politicians and war generals figure in the plot and fine pen pictures of Lee when the doom of the Confederacy was near; of the efficient but self-seeking war secretary, plausi- ble, scheming, shrewd and subtle, who lost in love, the winner being a brave and able Confederate general. But the chief interest after all centers in the brave-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful northern girl who, almost alone in the world, finds refuge in Richmond, the home of her aunt, another northern woman of fine type. Suspicion that the girl is a spy is current in high circles. A brave and chivalrous Confederate of ficer encounters her under various cir cumstances and slowly but surely he loses his heart to the queenly northern girl and risks all to save her from grave peril The story is one true in it's pictures of the times and conditions social and political of which it is the groundwork. The book is alive with incident and at times strongly drama tic. $1.50; for sale by the Pease-Lewis Co.
