MINING Items. :

The Hill City News learns that hoist
has been ordered for the st. Elmo mine,
and that work will shortly be resumed
again on that property.
The old Montana mine at Rockford is
reported to have resumed work. A
working shaft has been started and it is
the intention of the company to devel-
ope the property this coming season.
The Black Hills Mining Review says,
Harry Francis, general manager of the
Dizzy Mining company, has gone to Chic
ago for the purpose of purchasing com
plete steam hosting plant for the Dizzy
mine in the Garden City district.
The new 10 stamp mill ofthe Extreme
Gold Mining and Milling company, three
miles west from Custer, is reported to be
running continuously with very satisfac-
tory results. A clean up was made about
ten days ago but the result was not given

THE CLARA BELLE MINE.

Frank Hebert has started up the Tre-
main mill on the Clara Belle ore. The
latter is very rich, and while specks Of
free gold can frequently be seen in the
rock, specimens of unusual richness,
such as were found in former workings
nearer the surface, are not often encoun-
tered now. A change is also visible as
to the vein matter which has developed
from pockety ore stringers to a solid ore
vein enclosed by two good walls which
gives better assurance than ever that
it will make a mine. The gold is dis
tributed more evenly throughout the
ledge hence the disappearance of speci-
men rock which formerly was so plenti-
full. The Clara Belle has all the evil
dences of making good mine with
proper development.-Hill City News.

A DISAPPOINTMENT

army Of servants employed. AS in every
other city mansion the basement was
used for kitchens and below that was
dug still another floor in which We're the
servants apartments. And in digging SO
deeply an eVer-moving stratum, washed
by the ebb and flow of a rivers tide, was
reached and as a consequence the free
use of the pump is necessary to keep the
water from rising in the house, and does
not prevent the dampness which threat
ems to weaken the foundations and intro
duce unhealthful germs. .-
1t is by no means unusual to come
upon the beds of old rivers in London,
for nowhere did SO many streams meet
the main river as around the city, and
many of these subterranean rivers are
utilized as sewers.
Not only is Sunderland house badly To-
Gated but now that it is finished the
Marlboroughs have not the money to fur
nish it, for W. K. Vanderbilt has, since
his marriage, withdrawn the financial aid
he was wont to furnish his daughter.
1t is not many days since the duke sold
twenty -one pictures from the famous
Blenheim galleries. Two Titians and an
Alma Tadema were in the collection,
which brought only $4,000.

to be despised as a means OF getting the
change that every one should have in the
course Of the year.
Perhaps men have more Of the native
wood dweller in their composition than
women, but they never seem to have
much difficulty in adapting themselves to
the lack of home conveniences and COM
forts during a camping-out period. Posi-
bly, this is because they have less of the
work Of the purveying to do. Children,
too. enjoy this sort OF life and are never
happier than when enduring some small
privation that makes them feel that they
are leading a truly wild existence.
The average woman does not take quite
so kindly to the unconventional camp life
for obvious reasons. She is usually more
a creature Of habits than the man, and
she takes her pleasures in an orthodox
fashion. Yet it Is a good thing for her
to be shaken out Of her accustomed round
once in a while and even if she does not
become so enthusiastic over camping out
as do her children and husband, she can
hardly fail to get real benefit from it.
There are many ways in which the
camp may be made comfortable for the
seekers for health and change who can
not indulge themselves in the luxuries of
those Adirondack campers who supply
their rustic dwellings, with brass beds and
porcelain tubs. That sort of thing is not
camping at all, in the real sense of the
word much as it may appeal to the lovers
of the feshpots. The day has gone by
when a camp must of necessity be a tent.
A tent has it's advantages, but it also pos
sesses drawbacks In hot weather it is
very hot, even tho it cools quickly at
night. In wet weather it is not always
waterproof, and is chilly. Men and boys
are usually satisfied with it, but a woman
owns to a. preference for some kind Of a
shanty or shack when she goes camping.
Whether 1t be under canvas or beneath g.
more substantial roof, the main thing to
make sure of in planning for a camp Is
that the beds shall be comfortable.
Happily fair bed is easily achieved.
A camp cot--two lengths Of wood with
a breadth of canvas between and folding
legs beneath-nakes a bed not to be de-
spised, especially when a rug or quilt or
comfortable Is laid upon it. Such bed
as this can be shifted from place to place,
but the same result may be achieved with
less bother Of transportation by driving
into the ground four posts, corresponding
with the four corners Of the bed, fasten-
ing strips from one Of these to the other
so as to form hollow square, and tc
these strips securing stout canvas. II
one is within reach Of evergreens in
abundance, cross strips Of wood may be
fastened to the lengthwise strips of the
bed frame and boughs of spruce or bal
sam or henlock arranged on these for 9
mattress. The old style Of making bee
OF boughs on the ground left much to be

desired. In wet weather, even with
ditch cut around the tent, some damp
ness was sure to make itself felt. Like
wise crawling things found it very easy
to get into the green mattress.
The coverings for such a bed should
be dark Observation-Disclosures are warmer
and lighter than comfortables-and there
should be enough of them. Cold nights
are not unknown even In summer, ana II
one lies awake and shivers during the
dark hours there is not much good won
from the camping out experiment. Let
no woman be deluded into believing she
can be really comfortable sleeping on
rubber pillow. This may do for a founda-
ton, but for genuine comfort she Will
need pillow Of feathers or down.
When man camper wishes to wash he
takes plunge in the nearest body OF
water. A woman must plead for wash
basin. If she can afford herself the lux
ury of a rubber tub she is In great luck.
Some sort of a rude wash stand can read
lily be contrived for her in the corner OF
her tent or of her cabin, and there may
be a rope put up or pegs on which she
can hang the few clothes she takes with
her in camping.
| Her wardrobe should be small and SEN
| sible. OF course, she will wear short
| skirt of some wooden stuff, thin flannel
| shirtWaists, as being easily done up, soft
stocks instead of laundried collars, knick-
| ers rather than elaborate underwear,
stout boots and a soft hat. "Frills" Of
| any sort are out Of place in a camp-un-
less it be one of the luxurious establish
ments to which have already referred.
In the regular hunting camps where
there are guides, these take charge OF
the cooking, and the women of the party
do not have to trouble themselves with
anything in the way of kitchen work
But there are many camps where the
| yDnr an In he there
| be provision made for the cooking and
eating. The best camp outfit both for the
stove and the table, is of the blue an6
white enamel iron ware which is light
and durable and not unpleasing to look
at. Stone china is ugly as well as heavy
and anything finer or more fragile is Out
of the question. .......
Table linen, too, is better dispensed
with as far as possible. If one cannot
be happy without tablecloth it is vel

While it Is true there is a good deal Of

you go along is half the battle; keep on a
convenient shelf a few simple remedies so
that you may use them at once when occa-

is also helpful to correct any parching ex-

Never neglect to instantly remove coarse

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW
~ Marion AIcott Prentice.

BY Marion Alcott Prentice.
To Reduce a Double Chin am not fat,
but have double chin, which annoys
me horribly. Can you tell me how to get
rid Of 1t? HelIa.
When the body is only plump, and the
throat and chin seem to be accommodating
rolls OF loose tissue from year to year,
the treatment must be conferred upon the
offending part to effect a reduction, and
not on the body as a whole. Your very
liberal use Of skin foods with little or no
friction has undoubtedly enlarged the face
out of proportion to your body, and now
you must cut off the supply and use more
friction and exercise to correct the error.
Tight collars have also done much to ever
heat the muscles and cause them to lose
firmness. Wear low, comfortable, loose
collars at all times, and twice each day
exercise the muscles of the neck free from
any restraining bands. Thrust the chin
outward and upward. pulling the muscles
taut. Drop the chin as low on the breast
as it will go, then drop the head back
ward as, far as you can, and be sure that
each movement pulls the muscles firmly.
Repeat until the muscles are tired, then
relax the muscles and allow the head to
roll from shoulder to shoulder, repeating
several times. This exercise may make
you dizzy at first, but it will be only mo-
mentary. After bathing the neck always
rinse in cold water, containing one-half

every courtesy. There is also lee
ture-room where such men as Booker
T. Washington and Paul Dunbar will
speak.
Mrs. Curtis is perhaps the foremost
woman Of the African race in Ameri-
ca and she was born and raised in
California. She is the granddaughter
of the first colored miner on the Pa
cific coast and her husband is an ex-
surgeon in the army. For thirteen
years she made her home in Washing
ton, D. c., where she was prominently
identified with colored interests. She
was the colored representative at the
Chicago worlds fair and would have
gone to Paris in the same capacity
had not illness prevented. Every four
years she stunlps every negro district
for the national republican commit
tee and every two years for the repub-
lican congressional committee.
Mrs. Curtis does not look like an
African, for her complexion, hair and
eyes are fair, but she proudly admits
her negro blood and her people adore
her. "Nanahyoka Sockum" they call
her among themselves.

Fashions Fancles.

A combination Of figured organdie and
plain goods is one of the latest models
The foundation of one pretty gown is

used for the collar and main part of the
skirt. The hounce Is set in points Of blue
silk, which is also used for the tab
like decorations on skirt and bodice.
The newest pongees are ornamented
with dots Of the same color. There are
number Of new weaves which come
in the choicest shades. No summer ward
robe is complete without dress of pom
gee. Checked voiles are new and very
fashionable for summer gowns, especially
for walking suits.
Some of the dealers in Japanese and
Chinese fabrics are competing with the
other shops in handsome waists. Chinese
grass cloths are extremely pretty. The
silk embroideries and drawn work are
beautifully executed.

DOLLY BUREAU sAcHETs.

One Of the daintiest bureau drawer
sachets is made to represent an embroid-
cred dolly.
The idea can be carried out either in
paper, silk or linen, and the design chosen
can be brought to suggest needlework Of
any school. In the model given a Dres-
den pattern is suggested, this being one
of the easiest for a beginner to copy. The
edges are prettily scalloped.
A simple one in paper can be made in
ten minutes For it, fold sheet Of wa
ter color paper double, and cut two cir
cular pieces in the size desired. Finish off
with sharp scissors, still keeping the edges
together. Now make a thin circular wad
Of absorbent cotton or rice paper and
into this fold the desired sachet powder.
Cover 1t with the water color paper, and
glue the scalloped pieces neatly together
around the edges, using clear mucilage
that will not stain. The dolly is now
ready for painting.

to take a colored one, but a white OIL
cloth comes in well as substitute.
Japanese paper napkins are better than
damask. Washing and ironing should be
spared the campers as much as possible.
The women who enjoy outdoor sports
are very fortunate when they go camp
ing 1 do not refer only to the lucky
women who love to fish and row, or who
can handle a gun. They may be con-
sidered supremacy blest. But the ad-
vantages of an outdoor fad already
dwelt upon in these columns, are felt
especially by the woman who camps out.
Therefore, unless the woman who goes
camping has the love of nature very
strongly developed or is deeply interest
ed in some outdoor fad, she will do well
to take with her some means of amusing
herself. Let it be her fancy work, or
her basket making or her pet game.
There should always be books and read
ing aloud, and with these and the needed
work of the camp the days should not
drag, When the camp is in a place
accessible by good roads the bicycle will
help to make the outing more delightful.

and the girl Of 1860 has taken her
place. They call her the war
- time girl, this girl Of 1860, and in
Paris she has quite taken the
French world by storm. Paquin has
studied her and is delighted IT am adopt
ing the styles of the confederacy,' she
says, land I am every day finding in them
more and more that is beautiful
The southern women of the 1860 days
were wonderfully well gowned., They were
famous then, quoted in Paris and re-
nowned in their own land. No great social
function was complete unless southern
belle could be coaxed from old Virginia
to grace the occasion.
And now it is the revival Of the south
ern girl, a revival of the gowns of the
confederacy. revival of the dresses that
were worn in the 1860 days.
This period also brings in the Eugene
gowns, for the ex-empress was very much
alive and very dressy in that period. But
the Empress Eugene was just the least
trihe extreme. Her gowns were too ex
travagant and her fashions a little too
marvellous to become popular Women
could not afford them. And those who
could afford them were not always will
ing to. dress a la mode.
But with the gowns Of the confederacy
it was different. They were charming
and they were not so very extravagant.
Tho the southern women Of those days
were wealthy, they were economical, and
never in the 1860 days was there as much
spent upon gowns as now.
The revival Of the war time girl brings
in at once the full skirt. This skirt
can be cut in one of three or four ways.
1t can be a straight gored affair, made
by cutting so many lengths off a piece of
goods and sewing them together, or it
can be a skirt somewhat sloped toward
the belt line, or laid in side paits all the
way around the hips.
In any case it is shirred or tucked
gathered or, in one way or another, brought
in to serve the purpose of making the
hips trim.
The women of 1860 did not think it ir
good taste to outline the hips so sharply
and the gowns were gathered upon the
goods, the gathers were Scratched tt
make them lie evenly in place.
In only one thing is the wartime CIR
of 1904 absolutely true to the wartime CIR
of 1860, and this is In the length Of the
skirt. The 1860 girl would as soon have
cut off her own daintily shod feet as e
out with a short skirt. And so it is witt
the wartime girl Of 1904. Her skirt mus
be long, or, if not long, it must be wha
is known as a round length.
The trimming of the 1850 skirt is not al
ways the same. The skirts of forty year
ago We're ruffled with two deep ruffles, witt

above the ruffles. But in these reviva
days a greater variety is allowed. Their
