DISCOVERY OF COBALT.
Has Doubled the Value Of Ores In
Lemhi County, Idaho.

1.-THE accidental discovery of cobalt in
Lemhi county ores has proved Of interest
to my section" said L. G.. Slater Of Boise
City, Idaho at the Raleigh.
1.-THE presence Of cobalt and nickel in
the copper ores Of this camp had been dis
covered by mining men, but the Importance
Of the minerals was not fully realized until
recently.
1.-The sale of g. group Of claims in the
district has revived interest. which has
suffered from the effects of the slump in
copper prices.
1.-THE Black Bird district has been extern
sively developed and very large ore
bodies of copper-gold ores of rather low
grade have been exposed. The margin Of
values. was regarded as being below profit
able working limit under the present con-
dition OF transportation facilities, and the
camp was in, the list OF dead camps, when
this discovery came as spark OF life. The
addition Of cobalt and nickel values to the
recognized copper, gold and silver values
Of the millions Of tons Of ore in this dis
trict gives to Lemhi county valuable
asset. A quarter OF million Of dollars has
been expended in development of the Black
Bird mines, which were in idleness. because
there was no apparent margin Of profit for
any known scheme OF reduction.
"It il now confidently asserted that this
discovery has added 100 per cent to the
value Of millions of tons Of this ore, which
are already blocked out. It Is claimed by
those who are in a position to know that
an average Of per cent nickel and per
cent cobalt exists in the great bodies Of
ore which are exposed in the old workings.
These values occur in a sulphide form.
and these minerals can be saved by simple
methods OF concentration. The nickel and
cobalt occur in large zones Of schist slate
without the presence Of iron in excessive
quantities, which can be reduced by in
expensive machinery. A mining man who
recently Investigated this new mineral re-
source believes the markets of the world
will be influenced by the excessive output
Of this district II the whole field is ever
developed to it's limits of production.

Be Wary Of Coins.

"As regards the counterfeiting of our
gold and silver COINS" continued the ex-
pert, as he threw on the counter a handful
O. brand new $40 gold pieces from the mint
'tthere are a lot Of counterfeit silver dol
lars in circulation made of pure silver, big
profit being possible by reason Of the low
price of silver bullion. Our gold and silver
coins are almost perfection in the art of
coin making, and our gold coins especially
the $50 piece are, to my mind, the hand
soonest and best executed gold coins in use
in any country.
1.-The chief metals employed by counter
feiters are antimony and lead heavily sill
yer plated, and some spurious coins are al
most perfect. OF The subsidiary coins the
nickels are made Of pewter and lead, though
some are made of genuine mint metal and
are not easily detected as Few persons ex-
anime these small coins critically. The
same is true Of aimes. most Of the counter
feits Of the latter coin being poor and
easily detected. Many Of the numberless
issues of counterfeit half and quarter dol
lars can readily bel detected by the eye
and by the fingers by their slippery feeling.
AS a rule, the milling, the little indented
edge on each side pf the coin, and the reed
ing, the little ridge. on the outer edge, In
lcounterfeits are not UP to the standard Of
tho genuine coins, and counterfeits~ that
have weight, dianletAr and thickness and
have a good ring may thus be detected.
I'm fact, where suspicion Ia aroused the
public may deternaiue often whether a coin
Is spurious or not by remembering this
point about the reeding and milling Brass
type metal. pewter lead and zinc are the
metals mainly used In the counterfeiting of
the small coins. When counterfeits are the
products Of molds they seldom deceive
money handlers, and are worked OF on the
ignorant and utiinitsated: but counterfeits
struck from a die; usually have q fine an
pearance, and this Is especially true Of
counterfeit pieces made OF platinum. a
heavy metal which supplies the regulation,

platinum counterfeits. together with
counterfeits composed of an alloy of gold

may be called the highest class OF the

Judge HaZen of Kansas Is an orna.

integrity the rights of citizenship and
the privileges of happiness as vouch-

schools, and that theaters may be
opened for the entertainment of the
public on the Sabbath day. The Chris
tian may not be without his Bible
where he will, and the heather may

Week after week went by, and Mabel

plain a primary school-teacher receiv.

The climax came one day when the
clerk handed her letter from Berlin.
1t was from her uncle. and after q
brief account of his travels, stated
that he had arranged for trip

1t would scarcely be worth while for
her to write. as his address would al.

remain in Florida until spring. and
then go to the hotel in New York

that he was glad he had furnished
her so abundantly with money. She
would have plenty for all possible con-
tingencies.

wondered how much more than that
her salary would be, Quite deal, she
hoped, for she was beginning to feel
the need Of many little things; and
besides, she wanted TO buy presents

Lucy came to the door in search OF

for her to approach.
"Do you know how much salary the
school pays?" she asked.
Lucy laughed.

she arose and crossed to the elevator.
The manager was in the office, but she
did not glance toward him, nor to.

felt that she had no right here now.
Once in her room she opened her
