raE NERVOUS TEMPERAMENT.
I'm Childhood III Is Som t hing Requir-
ing Careful Consideration
from Parents.

a child born with nervous consti-
| tuition is to be pitied or envied &C
cording as he has parents who do or
do not know how TO treat him. Char
acter' is made or married, even more
than we are wont to believe, by the
training which the child receives, and
the future of no child is more abso-
lutely in the keeping Of it's father and
mother than is that of the nervous
child. BY injudicious treatment such
child may be made to grow up a
physical and moral wreck, at odds
with all the world, while under wise
management it may develop into one
of the highest types of lovable man or
woman-gentle, afTectionate, sensi-
tive, intellectual and dependable, says
Youths Companion. --.
The nervous child is often difficult
to manage, especially il the mother is
impatient with it's dependency or it's
irritability. Seedlings only increase
the tension Of it's nervous system and
more severe punishment, which the
phlegmatic child takes with scarce a
whimper and to it's betterment, is
often, cruel in the extreme. ..rt "a,
There are two types of nervous chill
drehS-the active child, always on the
go, inQuisitive and acquisitive, but
delicate as the mimosa leaf, shrinking
back into itself at the first repnlse or
harsh word; and the pale, quiet, sem
sitive child, intelligent and thoughtful,
but retiring The child of the first
type develops into the inventor, the
active philanthropist, the promoter
the schemer. the adventurer, or the
leader of criminals, according as his
training has been wise or foolish. The
child of the second type becomes the
philosopher, the thinker, the man Of
letters, the poet, or the misanthrope,
the sour recluse, and the plotter
against society and government.
I One great mistake in training O
nervous child is to try to strengthen
the nerves by opposition. A nervous
child must be guided, not driven; if
afraid of the dark it must not be
forced to sleep in a closed room with
out a glimmer of light. 1t should not
be laughed at for its natural tinidity,
but should be gently convinced by ar
gument OF the roundlessness of it's
fears. At the same time it's physical
constitution should receive careful at
tention. TONES. good, digestible food,
an open-air life, avoidance of long
hours of study, frequent changes Of
air and scene are all not only service
able, but, one might say, indispensable
in the Transformation Of the child of
nervous disposition into the we'll
poised man or woman.

Cycling Backwards.

A novel cycling feat was accom-
plishcd recently by Albert Hunter,
a Skipton youth. Starting from Rob-
inson's bridge, in Skipton, at half-past
two in the afternoon, he rode with his
back to the front wheel of his machine
to Keighley Station. arriving there at
20 minutes past three, thus accomplish
ing the nine miles in so minutes He
passed through the villages of Kid
wick, Eastburna and Steeton, and
through the busy traffic in Keighley
streets. There was a strong wind
against him part Of the way, and he
had to avoid As traps and carts, 26
cyclists, one motor car, and two road
engines repairing the highway.-Lon-

THE Gsuf Direct.

The president Of downtown bank
has lately issued new order to the
numerous employees. He has been dis
turbed by the great accumulation OF
bills representing stationery, pencils,
etc., which have been called for by the
clerks and others. The new order reads:
Hereafter anyone in need of supplies
will sign a written request for same and
deposit it with the cashier
The first morning after the notice
was UP somebody borrowed the CASH
ier,s scissors during his absence, and
left two disjointed halves Of another

believes in "obeying orders If you

mountain is so called because it is the
home of the Lexington mine which has a
production record of a quarter of million,
and, it is claimed, as indicated by the ex-
preston above, that it has produced more
to the foot of development work done than
any other mine in the district-and per-
haps any other in the state.
The SIIo ore was found in course DIR
ectly toward the Lexington and in front
of the Miners Gold Developing company's
tunnel. The good news was not long in
finding its way to the city and as result
property in that vicinity has been tilted
up another notch.
1t has been conceded for years that this
was the richest section of the district but
it has also been regarded as an unques-
tionable fact that the only successful sys-
tenn for reaching values would be by tun-
mel. There is a reason for this. Years
ago, and even at the present time, speci-
mems of the richest float ever found in
the district has been picked up on these
mountains in this particular territory.
1t is a fact, however, that the mountains
are practically covered with slide, or dirt,
which represents the accumulation of cen
tures. This slide must be penetrated be-
fore the veins can be found in place in the
rock formation and as a result prospecting
has been expensive and almost a forbidden

luxury in this territory.
j. d. Williamson, of the Investment
company bearing his name, was the first
to proceed in a practical manner to open
up these apparently rich treasure vaults
and with the Nebraska tunnel there can
be mo missin' the veins" The bore is
projected directly across the big veins and
besides this has the advantage of being
driven on one of the rich propositions,
which means that it will not only uncover
all the others but that there will be no
work lost-no dead work-in cutting
through the mountain.
The J. D. Williamson Investment COM
pany, which has charge of development
work and the driving of the big tunnel is
accomplishing good work in the direction
of success. Work is being pushed as rap
idly as possible and the opening up of
veins carrying the values suggested while
the tunnel is practically yet in the oxidized
or surface rock is exceptionally fortunate
and indicates that the contact with the
sulphides will reveal even greater values
and that they will be compact and we'll de-
fined. This much has been proven in the
district and there can be no question re-
garding results in the opinion of men fam
iliar with the mines and formations of the
district.
The company expresses the opinion that

the indications are that a splendid ore
body will be opened up in short time and
that it will be one of the exceptionally for
tunate occurrences so near the surface.
Whenever the ore is uncovered, however,
there will be a method for getting it and
it is not impro obable that Wine will be
sunk, following the values and taking them
out so that they may be sent to the mills.
The tunnel is modern in every way.
With car track and everything to urge
progress there is no reason why it should
not become one of the most successful
propositions in the district A contract to
drive it 100 feet has been let and the work
is going as rapidly as the drills and human
energy can force their way through the
granite.
The officers of this company are men of
high standing in this state as we'll as else

as Postscript" of the Denver Post, being

over three and one-half miles from Idaho
Springs. This tunnel was started to cut
the famous Freeland group at great depth,
the distance to be covered being about 5000
feet. Considerable of this distance has
been driven. Among other things the
Investor says: "With the site of the
tunnel located and the Freeland group
secured it was found advisable to secure
as much as possible of the intervening
territory. This has been done with the
result that the Monarch company now
owns IGo mining claims of which 81 are
already patented, with preparations being
pushed forward for the patenting of the
remaining number. At about 5000 feet
in, the tunnel will encounter the great
Freeland vein when the course of the
tunnel will be DETECTED and will be driven
along this vein. The Monarch company
owns by actual measurement $3.50 linear
feet of the Freeland vein, and will cut
it at depths ranging from 1900 to 3,4oo
feet from the surface. 1t will be seen
therefore, that the McClelland tunnel
will develop in the vein fifteen times as
much ground as was worked out in the
old days.
The Monarch company is not depend
ing entirely upon the Freeland vein for
It's income, for it has within its enormous
group of property, through which its
tunnel will run for about two miles and
which is planned to be extended for rs, 600
feet, many other we'll known veins and
properties. The tunnel has already been
driven in for a distance of over 8, 900 feet,
and by the time that it is extended an
other 1000 feet will have been encounter
ed and be driving on the Freeland vein.
In the work already accomplished several
large veins have been encountered and
an enormous amount of territory has
been drained.
The tunnel is the very finest ever con-
structed in Colorado. For the first 200
feet it is an enormous three track tunnel
and for the remainder of the way is two
track tunnel. 1t is thoroughly equipped
with ventilation and steam pipe, heavily
timbered wherever necessary and furnish
ed with a water box the entire distance
which is capable of carrying 6, 900 gallons
per minute. The exterior buildings are
admirably planned and substantially con-
structed while the machinery equipment
is the most complete of its kind in the
state, and is adequate for driving any
reasonable distance. The compressor
plant is installed in good shape there
being two large Norwalk compressors
and two boilers for driving the same, so
should anything happen to one the other
is ready for operation at practically
moments notice. The buildings, to re-
duce the danger from fire, are separate
and the powder house is lodged at safe
distance from all structures. The grade
and alignment of the tunnel are perfect
while the surveying of the territory is so
exact that the cutting of the veins occnrs
exactly where anticipated.

This expression and ones of a similar
nature are becoming familiar in the dis
trict again. Less than a week ago The
Miners Gold Developing company, one of
the substantial propositions operating in
the vicinity of the Lexington, had test
runs on some service ore and the results
showed a total of SII9 to the ton. This
sample came from close surface and was
surprise, even to the manager of the COM
pany who was prospecting the field in or
der to determine as nearly as possible what
might be expected.
The assay was made from Mineral
Mountain quartz and is creating consider
able renewed interest in that section. As
