" because Nature created within its
confines, the great mineeralized fissure
known as the Comstock lode. a four
mile deposit OF .mineralized wealth
which has so far under abnormal con-
ditions, added probably $40O, 900, 900 to
the worlds stock of the precious
metals, and which gives every. prom
Use of soon reviving from the slum-
Der into which it has fallen and OF
again taking its place among the few
great producing fields of the world,
says the Pacific Coast Miner. D.
The detailed story of the Comstock
Lode is the greatest a in the
worlds mining history and n that
is quite fairly familiar to the mining
world. OF most current interest are the
plans and developments that are now
being carried out, at great cost, in the
way Of rejuvenating the, Comstock
Lode as a mining proposition.
The period of glory for the Com
stock was characterized by the spirit
of Safeguarding that ruled all its
marvellous mining operations. In the
heydey of the Comstock stockholders
and managers cared little for the min
ing efficiency of the facilities and
management provided. In San Francis
co alone 10000 people were regular or
occasional customers Of mining stock
brokers during the boom days OF the
early 7Vs, and stocks went up and
down and operations went forward
or ceased, according to the demands
of the people who cared not directly
for dividends but for the fluctuations
of. the stock prices. Under his stlm-
ulifs, and with the aid of either d1vi-
dends from bonanzas or assessments
freely declared and paid, some of the
boldest mining operations the world
has seen we're carried out. .

A Honolulu bride has written to her
friend as follows:
Dear Elsie:-ln your last letter you
wanted to know where we spent the
honeymoon and whether we went to
the coast? No indeed we never left the
Islands. We went to Hilo for a few
days and had lovely time, but ! was
glad to get back to dear old Honolulu.
We have had the cottage all fixed up
and you wouldn't know II. You re-
member that southeast room, where
the sun poured in all day; you know
we called 1t the oven on account of II
being SO hot, well you should see IT,
It's sOmply dream and too lovely for
anything, so cool and restful. The CELL
ing is done In cloud effect, and the
walls papered with the cutest blue and
silver paper you ever saw, and u dado
of darker blue burlap with a conven-
tional design picked out In silver.
When we went away we Just left the
cottage in the hands of Messrs. Sharp
& Wise, the painters. Harold calls
them the Wizards of the Paint Brush.
and their. charges are so reasonable
too. Mother has just called. so III post
this and write you later on and tell
you all the news.

This class of pipe has been used OK.
tensively BY the various plantations on

ed that there are several pipe lines
still In use which we're laid at least
ten years ago and these do not seem to
give any indications of giving out.
It is of the utmost importance to see
that the pipe is well covered with
earth; otherwise it will be quickly cor.

materially shortened
In our opinion this class Of pipe
gives better satisfaction owing to its
toughness and on account of its cheap.

cheaper transportation; We fully be.
lieve II is a better investment in this
country.
At the Kahulu plantation there has
been installed a cast-iron pipe line

which are constructed of steel. and We
do not believe that the owners would
