have been made with this end in view
which have met with a large measure
of success. A boiler plant and pumping
machinery have been erected on the
bank of the Little Schuylkill River at
Tamaqua for the purpose of pumping
water to the level of the outcrop. A
branch of the Panther Greek Railroad
has been extended nearly two miles to
reach the outcrop, and more holes have
been put down at various places where

MINE ON FIRE SINCE 1857.

President Lewis A. Riley of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company,
in his annual report, says that one of
the company's mines near Tamaqua
has been on fire for forty-seven years.
Regarding the efforts now made to
quench these subterranean fires the re-
port says:
"A portion of the outcrop of the
Mammoth vein in this locality has been

Some Local Views as
Heard Away From
Home.

The Tacoma Ledger says: Frank y.
McCandless, a prominent insurance
man of this city. and formerly a resi-
dent of Honolulu. has received an in
teresting letter from his brother. James
S. McCandless, a well known sugar
planter on the islands. He writes I'M
der a late date concerning the sugar
prospects for the coming year. Ac-
cording to his communication sugar
viii not be as plentiful this season as
last.
The Hawaiian islands. which produce
about one-half of the sugar supply of
the world, have suffered a drouth that
has impaired the output of the sugar
cane. Another demoralizing factor has
been the leaf-hopper, an insect which
strips the cane of its leaves and causes
it to decay. This bug, which some-
times, Mr.. McCandless writes. devas-
tates entire fields of sugar cane, is
sweeping over the country leaving be-
hind large tracts of demolished cane
A counteracting influence. however,
has lately been found according to Mr..
McCandless, in the shape of a large ant
which kills off the hopper in a remark
ably short time. Experiments have
been made and it is planned to use this
bug to rid the country of the other and
thus save the sugar cane. 1t is stated
that sugar prices this year will be
higher than for fifteen years.
WINTER AN UNUSUAL ONE.
The winter, Mr.. McCandless writes,
has been an unusual one for that semi
tropical land inasmuch as it has been
exceedingly cold with the temperature
lower than has been heretofore record
ed. It has also been a remarkably dry
season. which is always dreaded in the
islands.
Frank McCandless has also heard
from his brother through r. Lee
Barnes, formerly of this city, now in
the hay and grain business at Homo
lulu. He lately returned from the is
lands to make arrangements for ship
ping a big cargo of hay to be used
there. which he intends to obtain at
Ellensburg. That town, it is intimat-
ed, will be made a sort of a center for
receiving hay supplies and regular con-
signments will be forwarded from
, there to the seaboard and thence to
Honolulu.

Women Who Hunt
and Shoot


the ancient goddess of hunting was
woman. So it's quite proper for wo-
men to be hunters and shooters.
Ladies Of the German court generally
do not appear to have gone outside the
deer forests and game preserves of their
own land for prey. but inside this
boundary they have fired some notable
shots. The most famous woman stag
hunter in Germany is the Countess Mir
bach, who has received prizes at five of
the Berlin antlers' exhibitions. Her
tropics were stays horns. showing
variously from twelve to sixteen antlers.
At the last Berlin exhibition a very
young lady, Baroness Won Erlanger. re
ceived a prize for the pair of eight
branched antIers, which were evidence
of her skill. A renowned feminine
hunter Of Germany, Frau Won Helldorf,
has killed game in east Africa, and her
display at the Berlin exhibition attract
ed wide attention.
At least one American woman, Miss
Annie Alexander of Oakland, Cal, has
made a hunting tour and a remarkable
one in east Africa She did not. like
Mrs. Conant, kill d lion, but she had a
shot at one and wounded him. To her
and her father who was with her on the
trip, it was given to witness a sight
that few hunters in recent years have
seen-a herd of ten lions in their ma
tive jungle. They were on the hunting
ground of Gwas Ingishu. Miss Alex
ander, her father and their native
guides were just pitching camp upon
the borders of a marsh when suddenly
looking at them over the tall grass. an
peared the heads OF three female lions.
1t was not quite like gazing at the
fierce beasts with the safe bars Of a
cage between them and the spectators.
They looked at the hunting party the

among the Rocky mountains. Another
of California's brave and fearless wo-
man shots is Mrs. J. c. Wright, who.
with her husband, goes camping and
hunting somewhere in the mountains
during the summer season. This year
their camp has been on Gable noun
tain, in the San Bernardino range.
One night Mrs. Wright, being alone,
heard fierce and Wild cat calls all
around her mountain camp She was
not afraid, but she just wanted to see
what it was all about. She took her
rifle and plenty of ammunition, climbed
a nearby tree and sat and watched. It
was bright moonlight, and before she
came down from that tree Mrs. Wright
had killed a panther and two wildcats.
Unerring with her rifle, too, but only
killing animals in self defense or when
she needs them for food, is Mrs. A. G.
Wallihan of Lay Colo. Mrs. Wallihan
can "hit jackrabbit at 200 yards" or
bring down a wild goose on the wing,
but she prefers to steal quietly on the
wood and mountain creatures in their
native haunts and photograph them I'M

For lunch and even for breakfast
clever women are making their own

very expensive in the shops, and they
are using them instead of tablecloths.
