A nodern Hiawatha.


Softly fell the evening shadows
Ger the Uncomprabgre valley
When the paleface yet was scarcer
In that beauteous mountain Eden
Than are plutocrats in heaven.
Long a trail beside the river
Strolled a natty Injun maiden,
Humming to herself a ditty,
Which the same was a translation
OF Bedelia into Injun.
Paused she now and then to gather
Pretty little timid wild flowers
Or to scratch her shapely being
Where a flea was taking supper.
Down the pathway came a stranger,
Came a tourist from the Eastland,
Came a lungless youth from Boston,
Dressed in toys SO loud the songbirds
Ceased their trilling when they heard
them.
Gazed he on the pretty squawlet,
Gazed with look of admiration,
And the maiden, nothing daunted
At the presence of a stranger,
Sized him up as sized he she up,
Gee! How's that for Western grammar?)
Sized him up with eyes as liquid
AS the azurine reflection
OF the eve-skies in the streamlet.
Drew he heal the redskin angel
And in phrases fabricated
With the oil of hatt'ry plenty
Sprang a rave about her beauty,
OF her face hat Knocked the sunshine,
OF her eyes that dimmed the starlight.
OF her hair as wing of raven,
Of her teeth the pearls would envy.
Of a figure cen more perfect
Than the figure Mamsell Venus
Used upon that rank occasion
When she with her smiles seductive
Tried to buffalo AdOnis.
Said she was, as sure as shootin',
The affinity he'd dreamed of
Ever since he grew a moustache
And was troubled with love-dreamings,
Closing with a peroration
|He had learned at Harvard college
And had worked on lots of maidens.
Thus replied the dusky damsel
In a voice without a tremor;
so come off, you bloomin' masher
Pull your freight in on the siding
Fade away into the distance
For my dusky solid fellow,
Man That Strikes Right From the
Shoulder,
Whom | met here by appointment
For a stroll beneath the moonlight
VIII be here at $50
And he'll push your putty face in
And will dust IA scope of landscape
Good and plenty with your person.
Then he knew he had been talking
To a graduate of Carlisle
Who was wise to plays like that 'un.

MINING INVESTMENTS SAFE
SOURCE OF WEALTH.
(From the New York Banker.)

cierS of the weather. class are
waking up to the fact that mining
investments are a pretty safe source
of wealth, and recently the lead
ing financial newspapers have re-
viewed on the state of affairs in
their columns. Only recently the
New York Commercial printed an
elaborate review of mining and
the editor expressed the opinion
that this highly important indus
try is not receiving that measure
of attention from the eastern in
vestors which facts warrant. In
the larger cities, and especially SO
in New York, there has been a
disposition on the part of the
weather. class of investors to cry
down any mining proposition that
was presented to them. This
course of action has, of course, re-
hected to some extent on nm
Gus legitimate, and what may be
made profitable mining enterprises,
and heretofore the effect has been
to a large extent to restrict active
dealings in mining shares to the
mining area and to investors in
the smaller towns. There is no
substantial reason for this, and the
hopeful sign of people getting out
of this rut is the increasing NUM-
Der of financially solid and repu.a-
bic firms which are now making a
specially of dealing in mining
shares. 1t is only a question of
time when the public will be edu-
Gated up to the fact that there are
just as reliable mining properties
as there are railroads or industrial
properties. A great deal of the
prejudice against mining IS disap-
pearing in the light of a clearer
understanding of the facts. The
cold logic of facts proves that it is
not only II of the best paying in
dustries, but all things considered,
one of the surest as we'll; and the
actual profits on tue outlay of many
a small mine would exceed the
profits made by a number of fac
tories using 10 times the amount
of capital. In a factory in a sta
pie business profits are rarely eX-
cessive and frequently earnings of
a year are wiped out in a month
by the action of the market, and in
spi e of all precautions. In a mine
there is always the possibility OF
striking great riches, and as in
ing is now conducted, an examin-
alton before operations are COM
menced will give a pretty general
idea of what can be expected.
Mining is, of course, in a sense
speculative, but SO is every other
business, and many to a larger eX-
tent than mining. American peo-
pie look for an element OF chance
in investments, and the day is fast
approaching when the business of
mining will be better understood
by the .arge class of investors who
at the present time cry down the
purchase of mining stocks. The
modern methods of treating ore
has admitted utilizing what was
thrown away as waste from mines.
A few years ago the tailings which
it would not pay to handle can
now be worked at a very satisfac-
tory profit. These new methods
and appliances make it practical
to pay dividends from ore that a
few years ago could not be handled
without loss. The public are be-
ing educated to the fact that max
ing money in mining requires pa
