Smelter improvements.

The COmanche Mining company will
make extensive improvements to It's
smelter at Silver City this summer.
When the plant was started a few
months ago, 1t was thought that the
present capacity OF $50 tons per day
would be sufficient for some time to
come but ore has been coming In from
surrounding camps In such quantity
that the capacity must be increased to
handle 1t. A new $50 ton furnace has
been ordered and a new 200 horse pow;
er engine will be installed. A steel
building will be erected to cover the
furnace plant. The company employs
fifty men at Pinos Altos on It's mine
and has let IA contract to drive the
tunnel on the Ohio mine an additional
$50 feet. Large bodies Of ore have
been opened up on these properties,
some OF which Is high grade, but 1t Is
the low grade ore especially that the
, smelter will handle and for It's trans
pOrtation a railroad Is being built to
Pinos Altos. On the Comanche group
in the Burros, work Is being prose.
| cuted with equal vigor. Two new
| shafts are being sunk to a depth of 500
feet on the Klondyke and Boone
mines. Twenty men are employed on
this work. The Silver City plant EN-
ploys 1875 men.

at present in developing and opening

just as rapidly as It is possible to have
men work profitably and to advantage.
The output of the Copper Queen and

WHAT TWO BELLIES WILL WEAR.
One to Appear in Cloth of Silver, Other
In Gold Tissue.

One to Appear in Cloth of Silver, Other
In Gold Tissue.
Already two lovely sisters in Phil
adelph1a, one blonde, the other
brunette, know Just what they will ap-
pear in at a certain great ball next
winter.
The blonde will be In cloth of silver.
The brunette will wear gold tissue.
These materials are quite similar.
Both are tissues Of the most exquisite
quality
The. blonde, who Is exquisitely fair,
will have no color at all about her
silver hardly counting as such. There
will be little shimmery real lace and
quantities Of tulle which will be felt by
admiring eyes rather than seen. Her
only ornaments will be diamonds,
which will leave her golden hair and
her pansy eyes without rivals. The
dress will be a trailing princess, SUI
perbly plain, mere simmer of moon
light and dainty enough for fairy.
AS for the other of golden tissue, 1t
Will DC Ludn 1t SOUNDS.
There's no copper in the color 1t Is
more the clear, cool Guinea gold color,
and, indeed, it Is perfectly refined and
not at all loud, heavy or showy-looking.
1t, too, will be made in the princess
style, with the bodice lightly, almost
loosely, draped. With the exception
Of this drapery the entire dress will
be plain, flowing superbly from the
figure.
In this its wearer will be a dark
eyed queen. Her jewels will be tur-
quoises set in diamonds. Just how
superb the turquoise are with the gold
you can't think And the diamonds
give the necessary sparkle Gold It's
sue is, indeed, among our loveliest
fabrics, and compared with the heavy,
clumsy, old-time cloth of gold it seems
like tulle, so dainty are the cobwebby
threads woven.

SMOKING WITH A HOLDER.
"A MANY Cigar Holders Sold as Ever
III.

AS Many Cigar Holders Sold as Ever,
and They Have Their Reasons.
"You may not see used as many
fancy cigar holders of meeschaum
and Of amber as you once did," said
the cigar man, ''but we still sell them,
and Of cigar holders all told, includ-
ing holders designed solely for utility
and comfort, as those Of Weichsel, we
sell as many as ever. The great ma
jority of cigar smokers, to be sure,
hold cigar in their teeth, but a
considerable number of smokers al
ways use holder, for which practice
they may have various reasons, some
Of them of q sanitary nature.
"One man may use holder to
avoid burning his mustache. Another
man may use one because the burning
end Of the cigar Is farther away and
SO he gets a cooler smoke. Some men
use holder when playing cards, be-
cause in holder lie can lay cigar
down without burning the table and
without scattering the ashes on it.
"And with a holder might be the
coolest and most convenient and COM
Portable way for a man to smoke
while reading.
II think If you were to observe the
men you meet In the street smoking
cigars in cigar holders you would find
them to be mostly men of middle age
or thereabouts, whom you would never
find smoking violently; and I think
If you would know their smoking
habits that you would find these
smokers to be, while moderate and
temperate in their manner Of smok-
ing, pretty steady smokers, smokers
who use cigar holder to minimize
the danger Of smoking and to enhance

tray OACIdA NOuAoCASCs
The worst phase of the scandal In
the agricultural department is not in
the discovery that one Of it's employees
has been making profitable specula-
tons in the crop reports, says the
Philadelphia Record. That has long
been suspected. What is really sur
prising is that the man Holmes has
merely been dismissed with the ex-

can be subjected to no other punish
ment. In this view the secretary for
titles himself with an opinion Of the
attorney general.
1t Is rather strange that sworn
official intrusted with important docA
mentary information cannot be pun
ished for perverting it to dishonest
uses. It Is still more strange that he
cannot be criminal1y prosecuted for
his fraudulent alterations Of the crop
reports in his hands. By his dismis-

He had already earned SO much by
his crooked practices that the salary
was Of small consideration to him.
There is no doubt that this affair
will lead to thorough investigation

next session of Congress. From an
inconsiderable Office 1t has grown into
a great government machine with IN
endless reduplication Of bureaus os-

unjust to deny that the department
has conveyed to the public some useful
facts, but these are rare grains in an
intolerable waste of chaff. Members
Of Congress have again and again in

But it has proved too convenient IN

We are not disposed to say anthing
about the physiology Of laughter, but
we are prepared to affirm that as a
tonic there Is nothing within the pos
sibilities OF human experience that can
match a good, hearty laugh. There Is
something democratic about laugh
that makes it impossible to distinguish
whether it is prince or plebeian
who Is moved to merriment. Hardly
greater tragedy could be perpetrated
than to wrest the power Of song from
the birds, but that would be small
calamity compared with the flching
of laughter from life. If the conditions
Of this world could be such as to afford
t. every human being the frequent en-
joyment of a pure, hearty peal of
laughter there would be no need that
other favers be conferred This alone
would be ample testimony that happi-
ness was paramount in the lives of
men.
