nstom Min Promises a Success.

The Custom Mill has now been run
ming for nearly a month, and during
the past week continuously without
interruption. The whole apparatus
is fairly psimed. and the various parts
are adjusting themselves to smooth
running. The ten stamps are drop

is taking its load like an old time
PAGER on the quarter stretch. The
fuel consumption is even less than
originally expected; and, as COM
pared with the other engines of the
camp, in producing power at perhaps
less than half the cost. In the tests
thus far made the saving has already
run as high as SO per cent.
The company which constructed
the mill and is operating it, is organ

Mohave Gold Mining Company was

taxes. Thos. Burch appeared be-
fore the board OF supervisors almost

$1,000 note, which recalls sad
memories % the first Earl of Dun

In 1914 he was sentenced to years

means to accurately gauge whatever
of meal or flour or other commodity
they may desire to use.
A glance at the accompanying pic
ture will explain the workings of this
new device more clearly than a col.
umn of descriptive matter could do.
The scoop is mounted on a telescope
handle, one of the telescoplng parts
being graded to represent ounces and
pounds and their fractions. Within the
followed handle a spring engages the
inserted part, and the weight of the
commodity in the scoop contracts this
spring. The weight is indicated &C.
cording as the inserted part falls back
into the hollow handle. II will be seen
how easily the scoop can be plunged
into the flour barrel and such amount
of the contents obtained as is desired.

a Pre-Revolutionary structure Goes 70
Make Way for a Church Site.
The oldest frame house in Paterson,
N. j.. dating back for more than $50
years. was demolished to make room
for the new Trinity Methodist Epis
copal church. The building is in two
parts, stone and wood, the stone sec.
ton having been built by Slmonon
Van Wrinkle in the early part Of the
seventeenth century. Records of the
Van Wrinkle family show the frame
piece was added to the original build
ing a few years before the Revolution.
The house was used by the family
as a residence until a few years be-
fore the close of the eighteenth cen
fury, when it became the Black Horse
tavern. noted hosiery for persons
travelling in stage coaches from Toto
wa to New York No stage coach ride
to New York was complete unless a
stop was made at the tavern for re-
freshments.
The house always remained In the
possession of the Van Wrinkle family.
Its substantial character, with its
hewn oak timbers, split lath and co
lonial ornamentation of the stairways
and doorposts, tells mutely OF its age
and the all.around ability of the early
Dutch settlers who made that section
of the new country their home.

Instead of the form of baby being
seen inside, however, the throat Of the

Like cornnelds swept by winds at play:
IL Is not checks as fresh and fair
As apple bloom at dawn of day.
II Is not these that sing TO Love,
And bid him wake so sure, so soon;
That set the skies alight above.
And set him crying for the moon.
II is not heart-gold. pure and bright
As virgin gold In hidden seams;
II In not soul as clear and light
AS sunrise In poets dreams
II Is not these that give Love food
And drnk-the magic wine and bread,
That set amid his solitude.
The enchanted garland on his head.
Love only knows ono god sublime,
The trinity In unity;
And he gods names are Space and Time
And-Opportunity.

fore Grover Cleveland left the
White House, the Standard Oil
trust was selling refined petrole-

it was selling the same article at
1865 cents-an increase of over
so per cent.
