that he intended looking up a mining
proposition on the Isle OF Pines. He
never intended doing anything OF the
kind.

THE MYSTIC SHRINE.
The Tin Horn Incline Reported as Look
ing Well.

Late developments at the Mystic
Shrine are looking well, especially in
upper Tin Horn incline, says the Bng-
ham Bulletin, which Is going down on
an ore streak averaging 10 inches Of
heavy lead. Last week number Of
tons Of II had been broken. On the
18th the property shipped a carload Of
ferro-sulph silver and gold
that proved to be $50 stuff.
Driving the long tunnel to bedded
vein Is the most important and expen-
sive work and Manager Young Is con-
fdent that at this vein a large ore body
viii be entered. In the Erie's upper
tunnel this vein was productive Of good
ore, and II Is being opened and looking
well IN the Butler-Liberal.
As the Mystic Shrine on its general
showing Is deserving Of more extensive
development than can be given II by
the present company. II Is likely to soon
go into the hands OF stronger cor
poration, when work should progress
more rapidly.

THE vAIuF oF A GIRLS LIFE.

Judge Frederick Adams of the Essex count (N. J) circuit court has render ed q decision holding that the life of q girl is worth oly half that of boy of equal age. The decision was given in one of the cases arising from the collision of d trolley car with a Lack awanna train in Newark. in which nine high schcnl pupils lost their lives Judge Adams based his scale of rela- tive damages on the simple economic fact that while a woman may become a bread winner, a man must be one" and q woman's wage e-carning eXpecta- tions are necessarily much below those of a man.
 All this sounds very cold and sor- did. but a suit for damages sustained by the death Of a relative is necessarily q purely economical transaction. Sen timent cannot be allowed to play a part in it. for there are no means os assess ing or of paying sentimental damages
 As a woman's pecuniary expectations are less than a mans, it follows in T. general way that the damages sustain ed by the death of a daughter are less than those sustained by the death of a son, although from a social or sentimental point of view the gil might be of far greater value to the family and community.-New York World.
