1t all with her own hands. Even in
Paris, where she took lessons from one
of the most distinguished present day
book cover artists, she found that her
teacher himself only put the finishing
touches upon the work. He left all
the preliminaries to others. Not so the
American girl. She seWs together the
leaves of her books, she cuts their
edges and polishes them, she even
makes the boxes that hold the sunlptu-

girl hands.
Sometimes she works more than a
month at making a book cover and
putting it on. If in any way it does
not suit her "TRIP it goes, and she
commences the task all over again.
In the art book studio of her Ameri-

are some remarkable samples of her
handicraft. One of these, bound in
green levant leather, contained the
writings of Marcus Aurelius The page
opposite the cover on the inside was
lined with dark blue moire silk, the
smooth surface and edges finished to a
line. The sides were decorated in gilt
linear design, straight and curved.
The box in which the Marcus Aurelius
volume reposes matches the book cover

number of society women in vari-
Gus cities are amateur bookbinders of
no mean attachments. They find it a
relief from the WEAKNESS occasioned
by the constant tax of trivialities on
their time and strength. One of the
women who bind books for their own
pleasure is Mrs. James Roosevelt, a
relative of the president. Mrs. Hard
ing, daughter of the late John Bige-
low, is another bookbinder for pleasure.
Hand bookbinding besides the graft
fication it affords to the artistic sense,
is unexcelled as means of strenuous
and varied physical training to the
overfed and underexercised women.
1t gives work to every muscle in the
body, and that strongly.
1t is interesting to note that the
press used today in hand bookbinding
is exactly of the same kind as that
employed in the sixteenth century.
Miss Lahey has in her kit of tools speci-
mems of gouges and polishers in use as
far back as in the fifteen hundreds.

ferent from the ones held by skillful
hands that turned to dust four cen-

n the United States there are more

n men to take advantage of them.

it your justification for, being born at

pearls of the finest grade of imitation.
These pearls were made slightly ir-
regular, no two quite alike. and the
effect was that of real jewels. The
chain cost $780, but if the pearls had
been real it would have cost $500.
The object of making the pearls slight
" fawed was of course to cause people
to imagine they were real, because if
they had been perfectly matched the
chain would have been far too ex-
pensive for its owner, and every one
would have guessed the truth.

young German established an art book
binding shop in New York. He had

 The Shannon Copper company for month of September turned out 5S5 tons, or 1,l7O.0 pounds of copper.
 The New England X Clifton Mining company last week made it's final pay ment on the Ohio and Sharpshooter claims, located near Metcalf and adjoin- ing the Antietam, also bought by the company and upon which only one pay ment remains to be made. The price paid for the first two claims was ESQ., 900. The Era is informed that work will soon be commenced on these new purchases.

RICH STRIKE IN THE
 LAKE SUPERIOR MINE

In the Cole shaft of the Lake Super for x Pittsburg excavations are being made for the foundation of the new gallows frame and the work is already under way for putting it in. A stump has cen finished at the bottom of the shaiC and when the new hoist is in- stalled it is understood the shaft will be sunk 400 feet from the 1100-foot level. This will make it the deepest shaft in the district. At shaft No. g., which has been out of commission for many months, carpenters and laborers are busily engaged putting it in order and new road is alsJ being built from Don Luis to the hoist It is expected to be used shortly.
 During the past week the miners say that in cross cut on the 1100-foot level an extra fine body of oxide ore has been encountered and that it looks better than anything yet found in the mine. Shipments to the shelter are increasing, ten car loads being sent within the past seven days. The ore comes from the l.. s. & P. and the F.. x D. A thousand tons will probably be taken out before the gallows frame IS taken down. -Bisbee Miner.

THE FEDERAL SHELTER
 TO OPERATE VERY SOON

It is stated on good au hory that the Federal shelter, located just north of the city, will be operated again and that the resumption will take place in a few weeks. The shelter has lain idle for two years past and has been regarded as piece of dead property that would never be revived. However, it appers that New York capitalists who own mining property in New Mexi- co have secured control of the shelter and have already made arrangements for it's speedy rehabilitation.
 w. N Small has been directed to place the machinery in condition and to make all needed repairs. MT. Small says that the intention of the parties is to enlarge it's capacity, but that for the present the shelter will be used for the smelting of copper ore only. The New York parties are said to have plenty of capital and it may turn cut that they have purchased the shelter. -El Paso Times.
