WEEKS REVIEW OF
MINES AND MINING
Work Progressing Well in
the Camp
Activity and Optimism on All Sides
Owing to the Railroad and
Prospective Dividends.


This past week has been charac-
terized by the usual active work in
all mining properties and a spirit of
enthusiasm seems to prevail among
all interested in the industry. Even
the most skeptical now regard the
construction OF the railroad as GER
tainty, while the recent $50, 900 divi-
dend declared by the Montana-Tono-
pah has aroused expectations of
other dividends in the near future.
MOntana-TOnOpah.
Crosscutting to the north on the
600 foot level con tinues with the
machine drill, and progress has been
very slow during the past week
owing to the extremely hard ground
encountered. On this same level the
company is drifting both east and
west, respectively, on the foot-wall
and hanging wall of the same ledge,
and both faces show an excellent
grade of ore, much of which shows
values sufficiently high to ship with
out sorting On this same ledge
drifting to the west continues on the
500 foot level, and the raise being
made shows good grade of ore.
Sinking in the shaft has continued
and will be pushed for 100 feet more,
reaching the 700 foot level before
another station will be cut. The
company is shipping the usual
amount OF ore and all work is pro-
crossing well.
Ohio-TOnopah.
In all OF the drifts and crosscuts of
the no foot level, the usual progress
is being made in the work. Some
slight delay. however, has been ell
tailed owing to the repairs which it
was necessary to make to the boiler.
A small quartz ledge, standing per-
pendicular and running east and west
has been cut in the south crosscut.
No. east and west drifts continue
in very favorable ledge formation. In
the north crosscut, the face is in
black quartz. During the early part
of the week, seam was cut which
gave forth large flow Of gas for two
days. 1t has since so diminished in
force and quantity as to be no longer
troublesome The gas was not an
alyzed but was thought to be car
bonic acid In the winze being sunk
in No. | east drift no change in the
ledge has been noted since last re
port.
The HasbrOuck.
The shaft on this property passed
the 100 foot level several days ago
and the contract for the next 100
feet was then let. 1t is the intention
of the management to then sink to
the $50 level before prosecuting, and
at this point it is believed that some
good lodges will be encountered.
Sinking continues at the rate of
about three feet per day.
Golden Anchor.
Development work is progressing
nicely. Sinking continues and sta
tion will be cut as soon as the 4l0
level has been attained.
TOnOpah Extension.
Two shafts are being sunk on this
property. The deeper having near
ly reached the 400 foot level. When
this has been reached, crosscutting
will begin.
Denver Group.
Development work is progressing
with the usual rapidity and the ma
agement reports that the property
seems exceedingly promising.

sWINDLING IN FRANCE.
Clever ROgues Have Found n New
Field for Operations I'm the
Automobile

lie Journal, of Paris, prints some para
graphs relating to swindling in the
French republic. For some months past
hotel keepers have been the victims of a
somewhat complicated but effective
swindle, in which the name Of q London
physician has been used. The victim first
receives letter from London, purportine
to come from the physician, inquiring
for terms for rooms. The physician's
visiting card is inclosed, the physician's
real address being crossed out and
another substituted in handwriting
Another letter follows, saying that the
writer engages the rooms and will arrive
on given date from Swiss resort which
he intends to visit first AS the date for
the physicians arrival draws near, the
hotelkeeper gets third epistle dated
from Lausanne, or some other town in
Switzerland, announcing that his auto
mobile has been sent CT from London,
asking the hotelier to please look after
it at the railway station
The next step is a note from an alleged
firm in London stating that the automo-
bile has been dispatched A day or two
later the hotelkeeper receives another
communication from a customs official
at Boulogne stating that the automobile
has arrived there, but is detained pend
ing the payment of from $45 to $50 The
amount is sent on. This last document
is said to be very cleverly got up, and has
an official aspect But the hotelkeeper
never sees the visitor, nor his money, nor
the automobile.

LONG GRANGE MATCH MAKING.
Young Armenian Swains Depend
Largely Upon Fine Photo
graphs to Win Wives.

The young Armenian had taken par
ticular pains with his toilet. and when
he faced the camera he called up his
most fascinating smile. He is a
handsome fellow, and the photogra-
pher posed him SO as to bring out his
good looks, besides making him ap-
pear as prosperous aid Substantial
as he really is. He wished to look his
best, because the pictures were in
tended to win him a wife, says
Youths Companion. 5.-.s
There are two Armenian orphan
asylums In Constantinople. Women
who are related to him and whose dis
erection he could trust would visit both.
First inQuiring carefully into the
character and qualifications of each
marriageable girl. they would then ex-
hibit the photographs to a chosen few.
If these orphans liked the young
mans appearance, they would be
photographed in their turn, and from
their pictures the young man would
choose wife, and would pay her pas
sage to this country.
But why are you so set on marry
ing an orphan?" asked the American
friend in whom the Armenian had
confided.
"She's more likely to be contented
here, ;" the young man answered. GA
girl with a family to leave behind her
might get homesick. Pretty soon
she'd want to go back and see her
mother. I'm good American, going
to be. and l want my family to like
this country best"
IS Then why don't you marry an
American girl?" the friend pursued.
Like to-" was the reply 1.Amer-
lean girlS-my kind-don't very often
marry strangers. Hard for stranger
to get acquainted with them, even
/ meet some would marry me right
away, but them / wouldn't marry
Not my kind"
Here was case that called for sym
patty; but the sympathy would need
to. be impartially distributed, as the
thoughtful reader will perceive. One
might sorrow with the young man
who could not win an American girl
Of "his kind"-yet how could one
withhold approval from the girls who
kept themselves to themselves" and
to their own people?
The young Armenian at least re-.
spected them for doing SO, and his
American friend declares that a
youth so right-minded is good enough
to be the husband of the most charm
ing Armenian orphan In all Con.
stantinople.

Letter 10 Z. n. Williams.

NEAOOoAy WIS
! Dear. Sir: You are an artist, what
do you know about paint?
White lead is 1000 years old, and
zinc about so. The Greeks knew
white lead.
Lead and oil is old-fashioned paint,
and zinc is a baby comparatively.
But zinc, ii properly ground with lead
prolongs the life Of the paint from
about three years at the most, to- six.
Do you know that? It isn't your
business to know it; but you are az
artist. The sun, that paints for you
destroys lead and Oil, but scarcely
affects Devoe.
Devoe is the paint that lasts si1
years; yes, two or three times Siz
years under favorable conditions.
Yours truly, :

COST OF PRIVATE CARS.
Not So Much- an ExtraYagance of the
Very Rich az II Commonly
Supposed.

In the minds Of ordinary persons
private cars, with their sumptuous
furnishings, are an extravaganza of
the very rich, or vehicles for presi-
dents and directors of railroads to
travel over the eountryy in in elegant
leisure.
As matter OF fact these private cars
are great investment for the railroad
companies. In many Instances they
pay for themselves over and over
again. Where there was one private
car ten years ago there are 20 to-day.
From Injuries they have become me-
dunn of saving of time and business
gain. All. the important lines keep
nve or ten private cars, and they all
bring good profit, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
The private car system was intro
duced when the theatrical stars jumped
in and got more than the cost of them
IN advertising. The private cars of
Mary Anderson, Patti and Langtry at
tracted attention all over the country
One OF the first men to gain in the
business end Of private car was c.
w. Bunting, a western millionaire.
When a critical friend said to him that
$4,000 was a great deal of money for
for ''just ridin' around in his own car"
re replied that it had paid for itself in
less than two months. Scores OF. rich
men could say the same thing to-day.
A. ]. Cassatt, who rides from Phila-
delphia to New York two or three
| times week, says the amount of work
he and the assistant heads of the de-
partments accomplish between the
Broad street station and Jersey City
during the journey more than pays. for
| the cost of the car. At the Philadel-
phia centennial, in 1876, two primitive
private cars and one Pullman car were
regarded as the wonders of the exhibit
ton. To-day similar cars would be re-
garded as fit for small road in. one
of the South American republics. But
they set the ball rolling. The best pri-
vate cars of to- day cost anywhere from
$45,000 to, $4,000, and offer ever rea-
sonable luxury to ten, Is or 20 goecu-
pants.
Rich men who might be expected to
use private cars never do. Neither Mr..
Morgan nor John Jacob Astor owns a
private car. s,.f;5s.3
The handsomest private cars in the
world are owned by Adolphus. Busch
and Charles M. Schwab. Busch re-
ceivtd his as a present from friends.
Mr.. Schwab's is new, built at a cost
CT $50, 900, and is one of the most lux
urious things. on wheels, It is, 70 feet
long, including an observation COM
partment of 20 feet. The ceiling is
hand painted. The furniture, which
like the general appearance of the car
is in, Louis XIV period, is all hand
| made. Each of the brass bedsteads in
| the two staterooms cost $1,000.
70 hire private car costs from $35
to 800 a day, not including food or
| transportation charges. A private CAL
trip from Chicago to 81 New York
means an expenditure of,nearly $1,000
yet large number of men make il
every month. Private cars, OF even
special trains, are 30 common now that
| other travellers at the stations scarcely
notice them. a ! ,f, s9l..siaAi &
