great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com

Mining Mt Great DcDths.

In no other district in the world are
active mining operations carried on at
such a depth as in the Lake Superior
copper region. The No. 5 shaft of the
Tamarack mine is the deepest in the
world, having attained a vertical depth
of 1910 feet, nearly a mile. Not far
behind it is the Red Jacket shaft Of the
Calumet and Hccla, which is down
1920 feet. Another deep shaft of the
Calumet and lIccla is the 10. 4 of the
Calumet branch of the property. This
Is down $500 feet on an incline of a
mile and a half. In view of the mar
velous efficiency of the modern hoist
ing engine no considerations of a me-
chanical nature need limit the prospec.
tive depth of shafts.
The greatest obstacle to deep mining
is the proportionatc increase in tenn
perature. In the Lake Superior copper
district State Geologist Lake has ascer-
tanned that the temperature in the
mine varies n degree for every 10
feet. The temperature in the deepest
shafts Of the Tamarack and Hecla va
ries between So and 80 degrees, and in
view Of these conditions it is evident
that considerable depths can yet be at

DESERTED HIS TEAM
Two Horses and Buggy Stood Out
All Night and Was Taken
Possession of by Police.

Chief Of Police Keith has two horses
and a buggy in his possession and is
looking for an owner. Thursday
morning his attention was called tc
the team and buggy standing in front
of VIM. Koch'S harness shop on west
First street, the party stating that
they were there the night before and
had been left out all night The
chief placed the outfit in the city
pound and is e~nueavoring to find out
TO whom they telong.
1t is evident that some fellow has
a mighty poor memory Of where he
left his team, ana it might serve him
a good lesson if he should lose the
outfit.
Friday morning Chief Keith got a
telephone message from Loomis about
the team and buggy, but the party
declined to disclose his identity.
About noon Larry Byrne came to
town and took the outht to the own

AmericanizntiOn Of Mexico,

In a thousand ways Mexico naively
tries to be American. Twenty-three
years ago she adopted an American
circus. and since then she has no
greater pet than a certain American
clown. She has the wireless telegraph
across the gulf Of California. She uses
typewriters far more generally than
Paris. She even INDUCES in the soar
ing dreams of progress, as her Ameri-
can air ship company, which an
nounces a bee line service between the
City of Mexico and Washington. There
are cities almost American cities. such
as Monterey and the capital. There
are mining camps entirely American.

RANK OF THE WHITE HOUSE
In Point of Architecture 1t In In II
Class by Itself.

i !" III l"
Class by ItseIf.
One moonlight night in June, 1902,
while strolling through the grounds
with Mr.. Charles Il. McKim, one Of the
members Of the park commission, we
seated ourselves On one Of those
mounds which tradition ascribes to
John Quincy Adams taste in landscape
architecture. That afternoon crowds
Of people arrayed in joyous costumes
bcfitting the semitropics had come
from the hot city to rest under the
trees and listen to the Saturday con-
cert Of the Marine band. The musi-
clans, clad in white duck, were located
In a little depression, so that the sound
Of the music rolled up the slopes to the
attentive audience.
A year before we had observed the
same effect at Versailles, and both the
similarities and the differences of the
two pictures were being discussed as
we sat in the quiet night behind the
locked gates where not a sound from
the city streets broke the grateful noise
Of water splaslling in the fountains.
On the high portico the president sat
amid a group of dinner guests, and tho
lights Of their cigars were 'echoed'' by
the drowsy fireflies fitting about the
grounds, only the brilliantly lighted
windows of the s~ecretary's office ever
suggesting the workaday world. The
moonlight, shining full on the White
House, revealed the harmonious lines
Of its graceful shape.
"Tell me- l asked the architect,
"among the great houses that have
been built during recent years in the
general style Of the White House
many of them larger and much more
costly-is there any that in point OF
architecture surpasses it,"
"No; there is not II in the same
class with it." he replied deliberately,

Russia In China,

American merchants are not the only
business men with enterprise. A Rus
sian firm has recently sent an eXpedi-
ton into Mongolia to learn what the
Mongolians will buy now and what
they can be persuaded to purchase IN
h future. There are twenty men and
fifty pack horses in the party. The
Russian military authorities have sent
a topograpler along with it, and the
Imperial Geographical society is rep
resented by a naturalist. Thus the
commercial needs of the country will
be studied along with the questions of
Its military control and the possibili-
ties of developing its natural resources.
This is an excellent example of the
thoroughness with which Russia does
the things which it undertakes.

came home as quietly as possible, hay
ing lost three straight to the Summit

Madison has been the cause Of great
deal of worriment to the TapkaOWS

or not the Madison team would not
take first place, but that was settled
when the Tapka0wS, a week ago, won

three games to Hillcrest, Madison has
had to yield second place to Y. NJ. G. A..

The outcome of the tournament is
not according to the early predictions,
as Hillcrest and Madison were looked
upon as the strongest teams in the
