Our Waste of Coal,

How many men or women know the
amount of coal really sufficient to keep

asked an experienced housewife. Not
one in a hundred. Yet this question of
supplies ought to be one of the first things
learned in domestic management Half a
ton of nut coal is ample to keep fire night
and day in a No. 8 kitchen range for a
month in winter. From three-eighth to
one-quarter of ton is all that should be
used in fall or spring month. and that

Care of Brushes.

In these days of luxurious toilet fit
efngs one is often surprised to see the
carelessness with which they are treat
ID. Brushes, in particular, suffer from
lack of care, although so many are
needed for various purposes.
Hair brushes, tooth brushes, nail and
nat brushes are so generally mounted
in silver or silver and ebony that they
require a good deal of attention, as
furnished mountings are as bad as
shabby finery.
silver backs of brushes, if rubbed
1aily with a channels leather, will sell
1om need regular cleaning.
Occasionally moisten little whiting
with alcohol and brush the silver with
this. Brush out again and polish with
soft channels.
The backs and handles of ebony
brushes should be rubbed over with a
little boiled linseed oil after washing.
md then rubbed with a soft buster till
every vestige of oil is removed. Special
care is needed in cleaning silver initials

tened whiting should be used or it is

move.
In brushing the whiting off after
cleaning be careful not to scratch the
erony, for once scratched it is spoiled.
Ordinary wooden back brushes can be
treated with linseed oil in the same
way as ebony.
Tooth and nail brushes should always
stand in such a position that all water
can drain from them.
Hair brushes should be washed once
a week, ard are soon spoiled unless
properly cleansed.\ The best way is to
put Tablespoonful of ammonia in q
quart of water as hot as can be borne
comfortably by the hand. The brush
should be freed from hairs and dipped,
| bristles downward, in and out of the
water until clean. 1t should be rinsed
by dipping in cold water in the same
way. Shake well, wipe the back and
handle carefully, and put on window
sill to dry in the open air. The back
should not be allowed to become damp
| if it can be avoided. Soap should not
be used for washing, as it makes the
bristles soft.

BARGAIN GLOVES.

Something more than a warm heart
and open hand is needed in dispensing
charity. A Boston woman who wanted
to be generous found this to be true in
at least one case.
She had been giving to a poor fam,
lily, consisting of a mother and three
grown daughters, regular allowance
of six dollars a week until the daugh-
ters should find employment.
The eldest daughter called at the
house every Saturday to receive this
allowance. One week she appeared on
Thursday. and wanted to know if 1t
would be quite convenient" for her
benefactress to advance the money
that day instead of waiting until Satur-
day.
I'VE are out of fuel and flour and
the man will call this evening for the
weekly rent, and We haven't a penny
to give him." she said.
"How does it happen that you are
IN this condition this week, when the
six dollars l have been giving you has
sufficied to pay your weekly expenses
in the past?"
well. I'll tell you,' replied the young
woman, frankly and calmly. Mamma
was down town yesterday and she
came across such a genuine bargain in
kid gloves that she felt that it would be
almost wicked not to take advantage
Of it, so she got each of us girls and
herself a pair. They're regular two
dollar gloves marked down to seventy
nine cents pair, and mamma didn't
know when she'd ever have another
chance to save four dollars and eighty
four cents on four pairs of gloves, so
she got them, and who could blame
her?"

bertyille, New Jersey and c. c. Me. Coy, of Bisbee, to develop what is now known as the East Side Mine. The property consists of eight claims and a fraction-six of which have been sur yeyed and advertised for patent.
 The capitalization is s1,000.U00 and is incorporated under the laws Of South Dakota. The price paid for the property is understood to be in the neighborhood of sS0,000

Work is being pushed in 6 shaft. now down about fifty feet and the development already shown proves the values which exist.
 The formation is lime and the gold vein which crops on the surface ana has been opened at many places is being developed by shaft sight and a half feet long by six feet wide making a very large working shaft. It is the intention of the company to sink on the ledge to depth of 300 to 800 feet, a. which time the ledge will be drifted or and ore stopped out Some very rich gold rock has been. and is daily being taken out and sacked. There are already over fifteen tons of rich ore which readily yields over s2OO.O0 per ton. This is besides the secoud class ore which shows values of from six to fifteen dollars per ton. Of this class the entire dump is nearly all made up.
 l. is the intention. at some future time, to mill the entire ground that has been removed by developing. The vein is a water quartz. carrying red Hemiitite of iron. This iron is the material that carries the gold. some of which is visible to the eye. It is free milling and pans exceedingly well.
 The new organization will carry on development until enough ore is blocked out. when mill will be erected. The owners think enough ore is practically in sight now, but take the lesson from other properties. wh1 have erected mills before ore was on the dump to supply the plant and the failure that followed.
 Some copper sulphildes appear in the workings, but so very light that they are not noticeable

POINTING THE WAY
SENSATIONAL FIND. CALUMET 6
 PlTTseuRe OPENS BIG BODY.
The Body of Ore Larger than Even
 Reported. Strike on the Nine Hun dred and Fifty Foot Level.

The copper ore is not all taken by the Coper Qusen or the Calumet & Arizona, not by long sight" said a stockholder in the Calumet & Pitts burg yesterday to a Review reporter. When asked what was the cause of the joyousness, he explained that one of the finest bodies of ore ever encount- cred. in the Warren district, had been found in the cross-cut on the $50 foot level of the Calumet & Pittsburg. Water had been encountered in the sinking of the shaft and a cross-cut Was started in a southeasterly direc- ton. This, it was thought, would tap zona are working. The surmise was correct and report of finding the ore body has been in circulation for a couple of days, but has been industri- ously denied by some of the insiders. However, it is learned that the same people who deny the strike have been busy buying in the stock and yester- day afternoon many telephone mes sages were sent and some wires to owners of stock in an endeavor to buy. A prominent local mining man whose word is authority and who is fully con Tersant with the camp verifies the re- port as follows:
 Yes, saw the body of ore. It is on the $50 foot level and is the finest OK jde ore l have ever seen in the camp" have no doubt it will average. 35 per cent copper across the entire ledge. besides its value in gold and silver.
 T did not measure the ledge" said the Reviews informant, but, with a smile. T guess it's about eleven feet! Anyway, they have not yet cross-cut the ledge"
 No information could be obtained from the foremen employed, but the Review reporter met MT. Roberts. of Duluth, Minnesota. who is heavily in terested as stockholder and who just came in this morning from the Zenith City.
 MT. Roberts enphatically denied that any strike was made and got quite indignant and offered to bet mon ey that such was not the case. It was learned yesterday that Mir. Roberts had asked more than one person who owns stock here if he would sell and at what price. When he found cut that none could be bought he started for Phoenix where quite a block is held. He went out on last evenings train The ore was being exhibited around town yesterday evening and is very fine.
 The Calumet & Pittsburg strike only adds to the value Of the Calumet & Co chise, the Bisbee Queen and the Portage Lake and Copper Glance. all oi which coming in the order named are without doubt on this ledge. This strike shows the ledge over 2,3O0 feet nearer the Bisbee Queen than ore was formally encountered at the Calumet X Arizona.
 The continuation of the ledge shows how near the owners of the Bisbee Queen and Calumet & Cochise come tc knowing where the ledge was.

 The miners, however, are not dis posed 10 take this view of the matter. and as result the Penn Gold Mining company pulled their pumps from their Mud Hole mine on Lynx creek last night and closed down the properties under his control
