Mining Investments.

The secret of success in mining in- yeStmentS lies primarily, of course, in good judgment in selecting the prop erty, and secondly in securing con- servative, skilled management. The amount of money expended in open. ing a mine is a matter of secondary consideration, if the property has the merit to justify the investment. In fact, some of the larger mines in the country have only been created after the expenditure of sums of money running into six figures, but when properly developed these same proper ties have not only repaid the original investment but are still earning diyi- dendS, the total of which is several times that amount.
 Such mining as that requires nerve and good judgment, and means a sub. stantial development of the resources Of the country. It also demonstrates that the chief uncertainty in mining consists in the hating policy, that stops short of eXpendug the money necessary for thorough exploitation.
 In time of financial distress mining has been the sure refuge Of the wise investor, who knows that the result of legitimate, well managed mining proposition is free from the Wall street raids that periodically demoral- ize the financial Mining Re porter.

A WHITE LILY.
Strange Phenomena at Cemetery In
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Flower
Kept its Beauty for Two Years In
Tomb.

More than two years ago John
Baughman was buried in a single
grave IN Hill Grove Cemetery, says
the ConnelIsYillc Courier.
Last week Superintendent Spiker
OF the cemetery got an order to re-
move the body to a private lot in
another part of the burying grounds.
The casket was opened when il was
raised from the cold earth, and in
the whitening hand of the corpse
was a white lily, as beautiful. as
fragrant, and as bright as when II
was placed there by loving friend
on the day Of the funeral. Even the
action Of the new air did not wither
the beauty Of the flower, and the
body re-interred without its being
disturbed.
This strange phenomena is the
result Of a simple chemical action.
Animal life exhsles carbonic acid
and inhalcs oxygen. IN vegetable
life ibis is reversed. The flower re-
tanned its purity by feeding on the
carbonic acid gas produced by the
decaying corpse Il will probably
stay fresh and bright until this
chemical action ceases by the adj
ysnced DISSEMINATION Of the remains.

Bruce Casteel, who lives near
Albrightsville, has brought suit
against Connellsville physician
for SANDER. The man sued IS DIR.
John c. McClanathan. No state
ment of the merits of the case has
been made by ID. Nj. Hertzog who
is counsel for the plaintiff.
Casteel was employed as a line
man on the work being done in
Uniontown and in October 1901 he
fell from telephone pole breaking
his leg.
He was at once admitted to the
hospital in Connellsvillc and ne
was kept there until July 1909. He
was discharged then without his leg
being cured. He came here and
the member was amputated.
While in Connellsville he was
treated by Drs. White, Shupe, Nc
Cormick, Atkinson and McClana-
than. Drs. White and Shupe finally
performed a difficult operation
scraping the ends of the bones and
wiring the fractures together. Even
this was unsuccessful. DIR. Nc
Clanathan was the last of the hospi-
tai staff to treat Casteel. He had
him for private patient for several
weeks after the expiration of his
usual term of service at the hospi-
tai. When Casteel left the hospital,
DIR. McClanathan told him that on
account of some constitutional trou-
bic the bones of his leg would not
unite.
About week ago Casteel went
to Connellsville, and, going to the
physicians who had seen him during
his stay at the hospital, stated that
DR.. McClanathan had manglcd his
character by telling that an infec-
tious disease had interfered with
his recovery. Casteel told the doctors
that his character and mo raj stand
ing had been injured by this state
ment, and that he sought vindication
in the eyes of his parents and
friends. He asked for certificates
from the physicians, setting forth
that so far as they were able TO see,
there were no visible indications of
this disease. Several physicians
granted this request being careful
to state, however, that their opinion
extended only SO far as outward
manifestations were concerned. DR..
M. b. Shupe would not give Casteel
certificate because he thought that
the failure of the fracture TO unite
was caused by some variety of con-
stitutional trouble.

THE GOSPEL BOAT
VIII be Launched ON June Seventh
Cold Water Will be Used nj Christen.
ing-Making Slow Headway TO South
America.

FAIRMoNT, May 4.-Since he came
to Fairmont the cowboy preacher,
the Reverend Bettes, has made so
many friends, and such staunch
ones, too, that his project to take a
party of Americans to Brazil and
found colony has become almost
local affair, so far as interest in it
goes.
The cowboy is now arranging to
take a car load Of Fairmonters to
Ravenswood, WA, June 7, to wit
ness the launching of the handsome
little yacht. 1t is thought that TWEEN
ty or thirty persons will take the
trip, and the cowboy intends to take
day off and show them first rate
time.
The yacht will be called the"West
Virginia." and it will be christened
with pure water. Rev. Bettes does
not want any booze on his boat. He
says he will not take the stuff along
on his South American trip, even
for snake bites. The launching will
take place at 4 O'Clock in the after
noon and the Rev. Letherby will
conduct the dedicatory services.
The christening will be done by
Mrs. Z. Brown, while Rev. Hiatt
will lead in prayer and Rev. Baxter
read a selection from the scriptures.
The closing prayer will be by Rev.
Martin.
The sermon of the day will be
preached by the cowboy himself. In
it he will offer his humblest thanks
to all the people and the cities and
the towns that have helped him get
his boat built.
The boat will be ready for the sea
in short while. 1t has II, 600 feet
of lumber, ALSO pounds of nails,
six barrels of oil and tar, $50 pounds
of steel sheeting for the bottom, and
enough canvass to make it get up
and hump itself.
1t is the cowboys hope to make
the christening of the yacht the
event of big camp meeting, which
he will hold for several days at Ra-
venswood.

THE OPEN DOOR.

AT the recent National Suffrage
Convention at New Orleans, Miss
Gail Laughlin made an address on
'"The Open Door" She said in
part:
Suffrage is not the ultimate end,
but it is the golden door of oppor-
tunity. Through The open door of
suffrage, the mother may follow her
child and still guard him after he
passes across the threshold of home
and through it the protected women
of the world may go out to bind up
the wounds of those who have fallen
in the battle Of life. 1t is more
simple, more dignihed and more
womanly for any woman to cast a
vote herself than to run around ask
ing every man whom she knows to
vote the other way. The old
fashioned Chinese thought his wife
was not beautiful unless she had lit
tie feet on which she could not
walk. Some of the young Chinese
are learning that it is pleasanter for
a man to have a wife who can walk
by his side. Formerly men thought
i desirable that a woman's mind
should be cramped. The modern
man is beginning to find out that il
is more satisfactory to have for a
wife woman whose mind can walk
side by side With his.
A young physician had two pa
tents, a carpenter and a black
smith, both suffering from the same
illness. lie gave both the same
medicine. The carpenter recovered
and the blacksmith died; and the
young physical thereupon entered
on his tablets, "This medicine is
good for carpenters but bad for
blacksmiths." No such distinction
can be drawn. Liberty is as good
Tor women as it is for men.

RARE MALADY.
PROF. Nv. CHAMBERS RRMOS ED
STONE WEIGHING ONE OUNCE
FROM THE BLADDER
or Seven-Yehr-Old Morris, Son OF Mr..
and Mrs. ID. y. Guthrie OF
Clarksburg.
Had Been Suffering from Birth-Tbe
Pain Endured has Caused Face 10
Assume Expression or Mature
Years.

From the Baltimore American.
Physicians at the city hospital are
marvcling at recent operation per-
formed by Prof. ]. w. Chambers
upon Morris Guthrie, the seven
year. old son of Mr.. and Mrs. ID. S.
Guthrie of Clarksburg, W. Va. The
child was brought to Baltimore on
Wednesday of last week by his
family physician, DR.. M. ]. Bartlett
of Clarksburg, and placed in a pri-
vate ward of the hospital. From
birth the little fellow has been a
great sufferer. During his first year
it was thought that the ailment was
due solely to diseases of children
although even in sleep the child
fretted.
AS the years went on and all
efforts of physicians at Parkersburg,
Charleston and Clarksburg to re-
lieve the little sufferer failed, it was
decided by DR.. Bartlett ten days
ago that an operation was necessary.
For time Mr.. and Mrs. Guthrie,
impelled by fear, would not consent
to send the child to Baltimore and
did everything possible for his COM
fort. Instead of relieving, the suffer.
ings of their young son appeared to
increase. DIR. Bartlett diagnosed
the case as stone in the bladder and
insisted upon the child being placed
in the care of Prof. Chambers.
Rev. DIR. Charles E. Guthrie pas
tor of Strawbridge Methodist Epis-
copal church, this city, the little
fellows uncle, met the physician
and his charge at the depot upon
their arrival and remained in con-
slant attendance.
After an examination Professor
Chambers and DR.. Bartlett decided
that an operation was the only alter
native left. ON Friday they remov-
ed the stone, which weighed an
ounce, and since then the little fell
low has improved rapidly.
Although the child is but seven
years of age he looks much older
as the sufferings through which he
passed have given his face a drawn
expression. He will be kept at the
hospital for the next fortnight, and
if present indications are verified,
will then be permitted to go home.
Prof. Chambers is much pleased
with the operation, although he
never anticipated any other result.
The case is remarkable, inasmuch
as children are seldom, if ever
affected with such malady. 1t is
the impression of the PHYSICIANS and
members of the family that the little
fellow was born with it, as he always
had the greatest care and attention.
Rev. DR.. Guthrie said Yesterday +:
"My little nephew has been a great
sufferer, and his face indicates to
some extent the pam he has endured.
He looks to be at least 20 years of
age, although he has only passed his
seventh anniversary. The sufferings
OF his parents have been almost as
great, for they did everything posi-
BILE to relieve him, without avail.
AS soon as the operation was over
communicated with my brother the
result. He left the child under my
care because he could not come to
Baltimore. The little fellow has
shown great vitality and gives
promise of speedy recovery"

DR.. Miles Nervine Cured
My Wife.

DR.. Miles Nervine has been successfully
tired in thousands of cases of nervous disor-
ders, but never,has II made better record than
when used in the treatment of fits or spasms
thousands OF testimonials prove this, and in
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fts ceased after the first dose of Ner-
vine was given. The statement is repeated
In the following:
Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and / called in my
home physician and he said she was para
iyzed. lie rubbed her with salt water and
gave her calomel and she eventually got
some better, but in short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got so her jaws would become locked.
Finally l saw the doctor was dc her no
good and ordered bottle of Dr. Miles Re.
storative Nervine. She received so much
benefit from the first bottle that got some
more. She has taken a number OF bottles
but has never had fit since taking the FIRST
dose. She also thinks very highly of DIR.

BURIED ALIVE
Startling Experience in England Of
Man Supposed to Have Died.

George Hayward, a manufacturing
jeweller, died in Independence. Mo.
Monday. He was 50 years of age. I'm
til two weeks ago he was strong and
worked every day at his trade, Mr.
land was buried alive.
This is the story of his startling ex-
perience as told by Mr.. Hayward:
1T was in Marshville, county OF
Gloucester. England, where was
buried. While helping to haul straw
one day by accident 1 was struck in the
head with a pitchfork. 1t penetrated
my skull and made me feel faint and
dizzy. Two doctors were called. One
of them insisted that my condition was
due to a blow on the head and the
other that had pleurisy. At any rate
two weeks elapsed and my eyes closed
in supposed death.
Yet i was painfully conscious of
every movement going on around. My
eyes were half closed and as I was
laid out heard my older brother John
walk into the house. 1 saw him ap-
proach with tears in his eyes, and
sympathiZing friends consOled him by
asking him to dry his tears.
LAS soon as the undertaken arrived
knew 1 was to be buried alive. Try as
1 would nothing could break the spell
which bound me.
"Well, the time for the funeral ar
rived and then the burial. My effort to
move proved futile, and the close air of
the coffin seemed sitting to me. Sud-
denly the shoveling ceased and the
silence of the tomb was complete. l
did not seem to have the fear then that
a person would naturally expect under
such circumstances. All remember is
that the grave is a lonely place and the
silence of the tomb was horribly OPP
pressive. A dreamy sensation came
over me and sense of suffocation be-
came apparent.
"How long / remained in this condi-
ton l do not know. The first sense of
returning life came over me when I
heard the scraping of a spade on my
coffin lid felt myself raised and
borne away I was taken out of my
coffin, not to my home, but to physi-
clans Office / beheld the doctors who
had waited upon me at my home.
dressed in long white aprons. In their
hands they had knives. All this I
witnessed through my half-opened
eyes. My sense of hearing was
remarkably acute. Both approached
the table and opened my mouth, when.
by superhuman effort, my eyelids were
slightly raised. The next thing heard
was, Look out. you fool, he is alive
He's dead rejoined the other doc
tor.
See, he opened his eyes, continued
the first doctor. The other physician
let the knife drop, and short time
after that I commenced to recover
rapidly. Instead of cutting me up they
took me home. There was great rejoice
ing among my relatives. 1 owed my
life to the doctors dispute as to what
allied me during my illness"

ton. Prospecting has been made on the
land Of T.. c. Andrews, near the head
OF the Narrows, for several days and IL
is believed that vein OF good rock has
been found. AS it is known, all Of the
! limerick veins in that region run in an
northeasterly and southeasterly direc-
ton, beginning in Rockport, coming
down through the Meadows and crop
ing out again at Beechwoods and the
prison. It is thought that the rock
| found on the Andrews farm is a con.
tinuation of the prison quarry vein.
