The fact that since the compile
ton of the company's thirteen mile
railroad from its mine to it's s,relter
at Silver City,New Mexico, the stock
of the Comanche Mining Co. is TAX
ing an active start is pleasing to a
number of Virginia investors, who
hold and control several thousand
shares.
Comanche stock was first intro
duced here through r. +. Bailie,
who secured options on a bunch at a
price from jeweler friend at
Oconto, Wis. It was placed at so
cents per share. For several
months there was no movement in
the stock, but during the past
thirty days there has been active
trading and several Virginians
have cut in on slice of what
promises to be a good thing, at
70 and 80 cents per share. Tues

Thirty five Million for 1906.

Joseph Sellwood, ofDuluth, is of
the opinion that the movement of
ore from the Lake Superior region
in 1906 will not exceed 100000
tons. 1--WE may look with perfect
confidence to year of big things
in the iron and steel business"
said Mr.. Seilwood, but l doubt if
the shipments of the mines will
overtop the figure have named. I
know that some observers of the
situation predict record of more
than 100000 tons, but I doubt il
we witness it. Thirty-five million
tons would mean an increase of O.
100000 tons over the movement of
this seeson and now that ship
ments are at record breaking figur-
es, that would seem substantial
increase to make in one year.
There are number of reasons why
I believe that 100000 tons will be
the limit. In the fret place, a num-
Der of big mines which have been
selling their product in the open
market have been taken over by
big customers who will sell ore to
no one. Besides this, practically
all the furnaces in the country are
in blast and have been so for a long
time; there are few new ones to start
up. The consumers cannot ma
terially increase the use of ore un.
less they first increase the furnace
capacity. 1t will be possible to
produce more than 100000 tons
and move it in 1906, but in my opin
ion no more will be required"

 sionately fond of outdoor life, she has
 won fame as mountaineer, and her favorite holidays have been passed in the Alps, climbing steep summits, sleeping in tents, leading a hardy, rugged life.
 Margherita has long shown special fondness for Americans. It Is said not lew ladies of her court were rather
 jealous of the fondness she eyinced for two or three of our compatriots that had married Italians whose position entitled them to move in the royal circle. Margherita's court was noted for its splendor and the queen noted for her exquisite costumes and wonder full pearls. For a number of years King Humbert presented her on each birthday with string of oriental pearls, and the yearly souvenir formed for her one of the most valuable neck laces in any collection of crown jewels in Europe. The necklace must have held for the queen value quite as we'll because of the pretty custom from which ii was builded.
 Now let us turn from the fair lady Of the quirnal palace to consideration or the less known royalty, the shah of Persia. His father. too, has suffered at the hands of the assassin. His fath- CT.

DOCKSTADER MINISTRIES

The Rochester Times of August ? says: Lew Dockstader and his min. strel troupe appeared at the Lyceum
 last evening as the advance courier of
 the season of 1905-'06, and received il
 rouslhg reception from an immense
 audience In the first part Mir Dock
 stader introduced a phonograph as in-
 terlocutor. The novelty is led up to by
 means of quarrel between Mr Dock
 stader as end man and Mr Hallett as
 interlocutor, The upshot of the affair
 IS the discharge of the latter and the
 substitution of the talking machine
 which the star end man finds quite as
 sassy as its predecessor The device
 ia cleyelly worked and it's touch of
 satlre aimed at the interlocutor in the
 actual substitution of one talking ma
 chlne for another lends the required
 touch of humor. At any rate, it is
 brand new, 1t is Dockstader's own.
 and, like most of his other hits in min
 strelsy, has the merit of originality to
 commend it. Dockstader closes his contribution to the first part with song called Everybody Works But Father It is a silly little song. of course, with simple words and simpler melody. but before the audience re- leases the comedian he had taught the refrain to the people in front until they could whistle it, hum it and actually sing the words, and they did. The sight and sound of a Lyceum audience comic song with Lew Dock 1 stader was a rather curious and de- 1 cidedly amusing demonstration of the | personal magnetism of the comedian. l The rest of the performance contains | many excellent features. Several good | voices are heard in the first part, sec onded by powerful male chorus of | ten voices. Matt Keefe's yodle songs were very heartily applauded, as also were William H. McDonald's Pirate < King George F. Weber's Reply and Manuel Remains 'Genevieve.' Neil J Brien's original comic songs. Never No More and Just Because She Had Those Winning Ways both made hits, IS did also John Kings Who's There Carroll Johnson's dancing was a pleas ng feature and his tambo solo was reat." Polls will be honored hy the presence of this same MT Dockstadpr md his minstrels. Prices are 2J. 50. ;. S1 and S1.50 and the sale of seats pens Thursday.

We are led to believe that the com. ing autumn two distinguished foreign. CTS will honor us by visiting our coun. try. the Dowager Queen Margherita oj Italy and the shah of Persia, that gen. tleman whose official title is Shah. anshah"-king of kings.
 Tn an elder, more polite day, poesy was wreathed about fairy queen; this matter-of-fact age uses little of figur- ative or elegant language. In com menting on the visit referred to, the newspapers, presenting concise view Of Italys dowager queen. bluntly make the statement: Prior to the tragedy that made her widow, she was said 10 be the best-looking queen in Eu- rope" How far have we travelled from the days of chivalry, when we speak or queen as we would a milkmaid- good looking!

 WARLIKE PEOPLE.

 1sh, French and English in Turn Survivors Living in Is- land of Dominica.

! The Indians are not the only Ameri
 can aborigines that are rapidly disap
 bearing. The West Indian Carib, the hrst people seen by Columbus when he
 landed in the new world, have practi.
 caliy disappeared, only small number
 or them, scarcely 100, still remain in
 the island of Dominca. There they are
 under government protection and live
 their primitive life on government l reservation.
 The Carlos were at one time one of
 the most warlike races in the western
 hemisphere. They were more blood
 thirsty, if possible, than any of the North American Indian tribes and in turn Waged incessant warfare upon spanish, French and English, as one
 after another laid claim to and at
 tempted to govern the islands.
 Previous to the eruptions of Morne
 Pelee and the Souffriere of St. Vincent there was another small band of Caribs Tn the latter island; all of these. how ever, were destroyed by the eruptions.
 UT the Dominican Caribs only about one-half are of pure blood, or so nearly pure that no trace of negro blood is dlscernible. The others are greatly mixed, and it is difficult to determine where negro leaves off and Carib be- gins.
 Tn appearance the Caribs are rather snort and thickset, with yellowish or coppery olive skin stiff, straight. blue black hair and oval faces with distinct ly Mongolian features. They are quief almost to taciturnity. industrious ana peaceable, but, like Poor Lo," every where have an inveterate fondness for strong drink, and also possess another unfortunate Indian failing, being in corrigible thieves. They profess the Catholic religion, dress in civilized clothes, and dwell in neatly made but primitive houses of mud. daubed cane or wattle, thatched with pandanus or palm leaves.
 Few. it any, of their members now speak the Carib tongue, but many pos- sess a limited knowledge of Carib words. Strangely enough, the CariL language had two distinct forms. one ot which was confined to the use of the women. the other to the men. This state of affairs was doubtless due to the fact already mentioned that their wives were captured from other tribes. r. Iheir numeral system was also rather remarkable; they were unable to count numerically above five. The word for i've was the same as for hand" Ten was two hands or half man." 15 foot and two hands," and 20 two hands and two feet" or "a man." and 10 on.
 The Dominican Caribs are for the most part agriculturists in a small way, and cultivate little patches of 'acao, cane, yams, plantains. etc. Some

Whether automobile dressing for women is beautiful or not is no longer regarded as important. It is now thought all but impossible. says the New York Sun. to make it becoming. At the same time there is satisfaction in its being so unmistakable.
 Wherever we go, whether it be to Manhattan beach or as far as Atlantic City," a woman said, there is no mis- taking the fact that we arrived in au- tomobiles.
 Even if it be only pair of goggles that a woman puts on the top of her hat when she gets out of the car. there is no doubt of the fact that she came in an auto.
 And with so many other women compelled to come in trains, trolleys or boats, there is a satisfaction to any woman in this superiority"

The shah's domain has an estimated area of 5000 miles. but most of 1t is des- ert. In its population of about 5000 900 there are almost 100000 nomads The capital.
