Anna Katherine Green has stpu.
lated that the heroine in her new
story, in Leslie's Monthly, should
neither be dressed by the artist in
shirt waists nor bear any resemblance
to the Gibson girl type. ''Let us have
some good old-fashioned types Of love-
ly women" she says. "There can be
no picturesqueness, and but little ro-
nance, where there is a shirt waist"
We are inclined to think that the Sum-
mer girl. at least. will dispute Mrs.
Green's theory.
Baron TauchnitZ. the German pub
Usher, has made an interesting con-
fession. When the suggestion was
made to him that his terms to writer's
might be improved upon he answered
by showing that the circulation Of
books published by him is much small
er than Is generally supposed. A sale
of 5000 copies is fair, and 5000 Is
very good, while a circulation of TO-
900 has been obtained only in six cases
out Of 800 in the last ten years.
Clara Louise Burnham, whose Chris
tian Science novel, The Right Princess,
has recently been issued by Houghton,
Miff1in & Co., Is a daughter of the
late George F. Root, one of the most
popular of American song-writers.
Mrs. Burnham was born in Newton,
but when she was nine years OLD the
family removed to Chicago, which has
since been her home. The decision of
the reviewers to whom she submitted
her stories was unfavorable, but that
did not deter her from trying again. A
poem sent to Wide Awake was her
first accepted work, and No Gentlemen
was her first novel.
Mark Twain is one Of the many long
suffering authors who are continually
in receipt Of letters containing re-
quests for favors. He is under the inn
preston that when people find time

asking for something. ''In my judg-
ment," he said recently mo compli-
ment has the slightest value when it
is charged for, yet think 1 never got

GREAT SHOOT
Low Grade Body Opened in Bas-
sick's Deep Level.

Custer, Colo, June l2.-The Bas-
sick mine has opened ON the 1900 foot
level body of good ore which is ap-
parently one of the biggest ever
opened in the state and great deal
of it ranks way above the grade, the
whole product being fine milling ore
and is handled accordingly In ad-
dition to this a shoot of high grade
tellurium running as high as so
ounces in gold to the ton has been dis
covered in crosscut. the entire body
being sacked for shipment to the val
ley shelters before being hoisted to
the surface.
George Avery, who has bond and
lease on the old Dirigo property
near Custer has opened vein which
shows some beautiful galena and lead
sulphates. Assays run not only high
in lead and silver but up to 80 to the
ton in gold, the latter being another
proof of the fact that in the old days
the smelters got good deal of gold
in their bullion which Custer county
miners were never paid for.
Work on the Pow haitian near Custer
City is progressing rapidly and the
tunnel is in over 900 feet driving for
the big ore body known to be on the
claim. At present the tunnel is in
diorte mixed with porphy9y. this con-
dition being encouraging, indicating
the proximity of the contact vein.

Eighteen years ago a boy from
Indiana wandered into this section and
took a trip to the Shoshone falls
Being interested in mining and OF
an adventurous disposition he eX-
plored further down the canyon and
came upon the blue lakes. Close by
he found a stream bursting from the
ground and flowing down through the
great bOulders and volcanic debris at
the foot Of the cliff. He looked at the
spot and decIded-What would seem
a wild and impossible thing-to use
this stream for irrigation and to plant
fruit trees among the boulders. The
boy was then IS, now he is SO, and
the proprietor Of a G40-acre paradise
which pays him over $4,000 a year
The lumber for his first house had to
be let down with ropes over the edge
