Big Income In Roses.

There is at least one man in Eng
land who makes money out of his rec
reations and that man is the octoge-
marian dean of Rochester-Dean Hole.
Combining deep learning with a large
fund of bright wit and broad humor.
he can spare time from his heavy &C.
clesiastical duties to add $4,000 year
to his income by growing roses in the
musty old town so well known to the
lovers of Dickens. For sixty years the
dean has been studying the national
flower and during that time as many
as 300 varieties have passed through
his hands. He is his own gardener.
even at his present advanced age, and
it is only the more laborious part of
the work that he entrusts to other
hands.

Camp sherrod Excitement.

The Buena Vista correspondent OF the
Denver Republican under date OF Au-
gust 31st says:
Interest in the new Camp Sherrod
continues to grow here. Some fifteen
or twenty people left to-day on trains.
horseback and In carts for the camp.
A S. Behrman OF this city, VINO hes
spent the last two weeks in the camp
and who reached home n few days ago
suffering from n severe sprain in the
back. was on the street tonight and
gave the Republican correspondent the
following interview:
Il n Williams. who in the latter
part of June was coming from the new
camp of Bowerman on horseback and
travelling over the old Indian trail that
leads over the continental divide, and
while yet quite a way from the top.
happened to notice a piece OF mineral
in the trail. Getting off his horse he
noticed 1t carried iron and some lead.
After investigating the immediate VI
cinity he became convinced there was
something in the territory worth look
ing for. Coming to Buena Vista he So
licited my aid. and together we went
into the new country. After trenchlng
from the trail about fifteen feet we
uncovered a body of ore Assays We're
mad one OF which ran forty ounces 10
the ton In gold. We returned to this
place and about a month ago went to
the new find fully equipped to push de-
veiopment work vigorously. Our shaft
is now down something over ten feet
and we have over two tons of ore on
III dump that will yield handsome re-
turns.
Mr.. Behrman says the entire camp.
or what they considered waste. will be
good for concentrating. His pTtner.
Mr.. Williams. is still on the ground,
and will remain to protect their inter
ests.
The discovery of gold in a heretofore
supposedly thoroughly prospected coun-
try has been the topic OF conversation
on the streets to-day. 1t is said that
there are several veins. all of which
trend in the same direction. and have
been hidden all of these years by about
three or four feet of wash. DIR. w. NJ.
Schultz. who has been engaged in min
ing on this side of the divide about a
mile from the recent discovery, was in
the city last evening and spoke very
highly of the find.

Mongolian and Ethiopian Honored.

Chung Hin Wang of Canton, China.
graduate of Tien-Tsin University in
1899, carried off highest honors with
the degree of master of laws, summa
cum laude. in Yale law school. and
George Williamson Crawford, a negro.
of Birmingham, Alabama, won the
highest forensic honor in the law
school, taking the Townsend prize. He
spoke this afternoon, delivering, in
competition with three others, an ora
tion on Trades Unionism and Patriot
ISM"
In part he said: "In spite OF the
past record and evil possibilities, the
labor organization is indispensable to
modern industrial life. The corpora
ton, and not the individual, must be
a unit in our new development. We
must have a new unionism. Patriot
ism means more than the declaration
of loyalty in trades unions constitu-
tion. Patriotism, anywhere in the ul-
innate analysis, is altruism-pro-
fessed and lived. The question arises
then, naturally. what is to be the ba-
sis of reorganization? Our answer is
simple. We would plant new union
ism on the basis of brotherhood, which
is only another word for democracy.

Discovery of Camp sherrod.

A Gunnison dispatch of August 2Sth
to the Denver News says:
News OF a great gold discovery was
brought to Gunnison tonight by W..
II. Sherrod, Col. w. II. Combs and F.
E. Busby of Denver who just arrived
from the new camp. Sherrod. founded
at the foot of Monumental peak, in the
eastern part of Gunnison county. They
brought with them samples of the very
rich ore, which will be taken to Den
yer in the morning and can be seen at

tlemen were very much elated over
their remarkable discoveries and gave
glowing accounts of the same TO the

Oil Concentration Process.

Experiments with the oil concentra-
ton process carried out in London
have been watched with keen interest
on the part of metallurgical engineers,
says the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. Several experienced men from
this side have returned from London
with favorable opinions OF the process,
and expressions of surprise at the un-
expected features which it has devel-
oped in regard to selective action upon
particular minerals. The promoters OF
the company controlling the process
appear to have been most unfortunate
in erecting their first working plants
upon mines which were moribund by
reason of the very low grade of their
ores, so that the collapse of the mines
has naturally been mistaken as indicat-
ing the failure of the process which
was expected to resuscitate them. We
understand that both at Bisbee and
Nacorazi, and at the copper mines in
New South Wales. 1t is intended to try
the process on the close concentration
of low-grade pyritic ores containing
copper. In British Columbia, the Le
Roi No. will have a plant ready in
October next. so that fair trial of a
most fascinating method of ore treat
ment will be made.

Cerussite Discovery.

dispatch from Sulphur Springs,
Colorado, TO the Denver News says:
This week while Messrs. George Hook
and Solomon Jones were running a
crosscut in the Kookanoor mine, which
has been dormant for a number OF
years. they encountered thre and one
half feet of ore. The ore consists
mostly of what is known as cerussite.
or carbonate of lead This is an ore
rarely found in Colorado and of great
commercial value, as it can be readily
converted into litharge. The only de-
posits of cerussite known in Colorado.
which Is in sufficient quantity to be OF
commercial value. are those of the Ter
rible mine at Use Colorado.
No assays have been made as yet on
samples from the kookanoor mine. but
the cerussite is so pure that 1t fur
nishes sufficient evidence of the value
of the ore.
This strike is turning many prospec-
tors toward the district and the district
may be thoroughly and Systematically
prospected.

J. WHAT IS BEING DONE
in THE MINING WORLD
socorro County, New Mexico.

The mineral districts of Socorro
county are Socorro. Water Canon. Mag
dalena. Cat Mountain. Rosedale. Black
Range, Cooney, Mogollon Kelly. Oscu-
ro. San Andreas, Pueblo Gallina, Santa
Rita Hansonburg, Abbey, La Joya and
San Lorenzo. The principal mining
camps are Magdalena, Kelly, Rosedale,
Mogollon, Cooney, Graham, Estey City
and San Acacio. There are nine stamp
mills, two concentrators. and three re-
duction works in the county. The vast
bodies of free-fiuxing silver-lead ores in
the Kelly and Mogollon districts have
become famous in New Mexico's min
ing history. Large deposits of gold
much of it free. in Water Canon. Rose
dale and in the Black Range as well as
rich copper discoveries in the Black
Range. Oscuro and San Andreas noun
tains, have added to the fame of Socor-
ro county as a mineral producer. Out
of the Mogollon DISTRICT S5,000.000 in
gold have been taken and one or two
of the best paying mines in New Mex
leo are in that district. despite the fact
that it is further away from railroad
facilities than any other mining district
in New Mexico, and that it became ia
nous first as silver producer. Several
fortunes have been made by the mines
at Kelly, thirty miles west of Socorro.
TIE Magdalena district, too, has pro-
duced enormous quantities of ore. Yet
the mineral wealth of Socorro county
has scarcely been touched.-Santa Fe

at each of the reduction plants:

NNeNfN-'
This is about half of last months to-
tai valuation, and. of course, the fall
ing off is entirely due to the strike
which is now agitating the county.
The drainage tunnel which is being
worked under guard will be completed
tonight. and by Wednesday water will
be flowing through the tunnel. 1t Will
require considerable time to move the
different tracks, tools. etc, that nave
been in use on the property in doing
the work. The estimated cost OF the
tunnel which is over 1000 feet II
length. is 1000 and all of the mines
that will be benefited have contributed
towards the fund. IL will drain most
of them to a depth of at least 600 feet
1t is estimated that it will take at least
two months for the water to run out
of the big basin that will be tapped by
this tunnel.
All kinds OF stories are in circulation
in regard to the starting up OF the
mines but they cannot be confirmed. IL
is safe to say. however. that within the
next few days work will be resumed
with a reduced force on three or four
different properties. There is no dis
order whatever. and Sheriff Robertson
said tonight; The only hard work
of s serious nature that our Office has
done during the month was the put
ting out OF forest fire on Grouse
mountain. 1t was started by campers.

Training the Ear.

The London Spectator is of the opin-
ion that teachers of young children do
not sufficiently appreciate the impor-
tance of training the ear of the pupil
to detect the difference in sound be-
tween pure and impure English. If. as
q daily exercise, a scholar who speaks
carelessly is forced to repeat phrases
over and over. first correctly and then
incorrectly, for comparison. the ear
catches the tune-ii it may be so
termed-of the pure speech and learns
to mark the difference. In this way
better speech may be acQuired-if
not the perfect language.

Mexico Gold Excitement.

An Austin. Texas. dispatch of Au-
gust Both states that a private letter
received from James Folton, a mining
man of Ejutla. state OF Oaxaca. Mexico,
says that the excitement over the re-
cent fabulous gold discovery near that
place exceeds anything ever witnessed
in the early days of California or other
western mining camps. The discovery
was made less than tive weeks ago by
an Indian while powing corn. But
there are now more than 5000 pros
pectors including scores of Americans.
camped in the vicinity of the new field.
Claims have been filed upon for many
miles around the original prospects.
Several surface claims have already
sold for as high as 100000. The ledge
of ore is fifteen feet across on the sur
face. and assays as high as $4,000 gold
to the ton. A large force of Mexican
troops has arrived at the place. and is
guarding the valuable ledge to prevent
the ore from being carried off.

cent heavy rains have been of consider
able value to the placer mining and
ranch interests of the Blue River val
ley by increasing the water supply.
None of the large placers has suspend
ed operations for the season; those that
have not enough water to operate the

|EGLEE--A Girl Qf the People

- HE latest effort of W. H. R. Tro-
 bridge places before the read
 ing world a novel absolutely devoid of moral; with plot of human blood, and possessing not a spark of mirth to brighten the grue- some picture. The story opens with a description of the feelings and emotions of the vilest people of the slAms of Paris. noted for their ultra-revolutionary ideas. These people both hated and feared the royal family, or "Aristocrats,' as they termed them. From out the midst of this class of people is taken girl of the low est type and made the heroine of the story-Eglee, indeed and in truth "a girl of the people,"
 Contrary to what might have been ex- pected from her rearing and environment, this girl conceives passionate love tor the reigning queen, Marie Antoinette. The author in describing these lowly peo- pie, has used no discrimination, and not only in an allusive way, but very revolt ingly reproduces their evil thoughts and profane language. The power of the au- thor in describing things and events is good, for example:
 "The Paris of 1793 was a very different city from that of 17ss. The metamorpho- sis had been sudden. violent and complete, and so rapidly had the times moved. so
