MAY 1 come in?"
A smile lit up the face of the inva-
lid man.
''Of course you may, Babs! Oh. it's
you, Harriet! How marvelously your
voice resembles Barbara's!''
The smile had faded when he saw
his mistake, and his pale, subdued sis
:ter-in-law busted herself with the med
icines.

said, IF in nothing else. But I've
noticed that brothers and sisters more
often resemble each other in voice
than in anything else-haven't you?"
"At any rate it is SO in your case"
said Philip Chesney, wearily.. why
doesn't Barbara come up?"
The solemn Harriet turned away.
How could she tell the stricken man
that Barbara-beautiful, winsome, self

life as summer garden, and herself

the season: the parties and balls and
festive gatherings, where she would
have been envied and worshipped as
queen indisputable, had to be ex-
changed for a depressing bedroom. It
was unendurable!
But how could Harriet tell the dot

that he had worshiped her with all
the strength of his nature, that she
had left Barbara in her room, cry
ing out in the bitterness of selfish
ness against her hard and cruel fate?

wife shuddered, and bit her rosebud
lips till the blood came as she con.
templated the prospect.
And one day male butterfly, also
without heart, fluttered into that
gloomy bower, and flaunted his gorge
Gus, tempting coloring before the daz-
zled eyes of the brilliant feminine in
sect of his species; and, 10! they few
away from that gloomy house-which
was assuredly no place for butter
fies-together.
Harriet was the first to learn of the
flight. She had feared for so long
that her lovely sister would, in revolt
against the fate which was so dis.
tasteful, take some such step as this,
that the discovery scarcely came as
surprise. She had done her best to
drive the male butterfly from the
house; but he had found entrance
again and again.
Her thin, pale face grew more
drawn as she contemplated the posi-
ton; but, like the drab, unselish crea-
ture she was, she soon fell to blam-
ing herself.
Babs had been their mothers dar-
ling, and on her deathbed she had be-
slowed her upon Harriet as a precious
trust. How, she reflected, had she
kept that trust? It, is ever thus with
the drab and unselflsh.
That night the doctors came from
the invalid's room looking graver
than ever. Philip, they said, was
sinking, and ugly, gentle Harriet grew
to think that surely Fate must hate
him bitterly indeed.
To lose life is bitter, in spite of
the pessimists; but to have the know1-
edge that while life was slowly ebb-
ing honor itself had taken wings and
flown, is to taste the uttermost dregs
of human degradation. ~
She had not told him of the fight
of the butterflies. She had tried, for
she conceived it to be her duty to do
SO; but the words had stuck in her
throat. And now, as she was about
to enter his room, she determined
that he should never know il she
could help It. 2s Z, a:33=., ~ H r

The material is being FASTENED into the

1t is rumored that the Milwaukee in
addition to the proposed Chamberlain

road now being constructed between Ra.

this road would put the Milwaukee into

advent Of the Milwaukee into this sec.

A N ew Process.

DR.. j. A. Ogden, Of this city, has or.
ganized company for the purpose of
building mill in lower Deadwood in
which experiments will be made using
new process for the treatment of ores.
The plant is to have a capacity Of about
100 tons Of ore per "a hours and it is now
nearly ready to make its initial run.
There are several very unique features
about the plant which will bear investi.
CATION on the part Of the mining com
panles contemplating the erection Of
mills.
DR.. Ogden has not been saying much
about his process, preferng to get the
mill in operation and make mill demon
strations FIRST. He has been working on
his plans for a number of years, having
come to the Black Hills six years ago
from Philadelphia in order to be near
an ore supply. In this plant, electricity
will be used in conjunction with a quick
acting solution and a system of convey.
ors will be employed to keep the ore in
motion. The experiments made thus
far show that there will be no trouble
from shines and that a much higher sx-
traction than by the simple cyanide pro-
cess, may be expected.
Several mining companies have had
their experts examine into the process
and some very good reports have been
made upon it by them. DR.. Ogden has
a number of patents on ore treatment
appliances, all Of which are to be used
in this mill, He is building a roaster
which has considerable merit. He also
has concentrating machine and mag
netic ore separator. All of these inven.
tions are very simple in construction
and do not cost much.
Nobody questions the need of better
process for the saving of gold and silver
values in the Black Hills ores and judg-
ing by reports, mining men may expect
something good from this Ogden process.

Meeting Of Mining Men.

Our northern Hills exchanges report
the May meeting of the Black Hills
Mining Mems association held at Lead
on Friday evening of last week as one of
the most interesting in the history ofthe
association. 1t was largely attended and
there were numerous features to make e
the proceedings attractive
A report was received from d. A. Nc

ancs in the treasury Of SIG.
Congressman Martin, who was in at
tendance, was called upon by the chair
for few remarks, and responded briefly.
He spoke Of the pending legislation in
congress pertaining to mining, and
among other things stated that the effort
which had been made to have establish
ed experimental stations for the purpose
of assisting the prospector and miner
along the same lines as 'se agricultural
stations and colleges assist the farmer,
and said that the efforts of those favor
ing their establishment had not ceased,
but would be renewed when congress
again convened, the present delay in ee-
curing them arising from lack of ap
preparation available for the purpose
II referred to the forest reserve, and
legislation which might be expected re-
garding it, and specifically referred to
the fact that credit was due to T. ]. Grier
and Chambers Kellar for having secured
legislation which grants the privileges of
rights of way through reserves, and other
privileges of similar character, which
had been prohibited by the original bill.
He said that special legislation was pend.
ing regarding forest reserves, which
would make, if adopted, many import
ant changes and improvements in the
law; and stated that he was now work.
ing to have the laws SO amended, especi
ally where applicable to the Black Hills
that the miner would receive protection
from the encroachments ofthe ranchman
and farmer, and tho settlement by them
for agricultural purposes of land which
was purely mineral.
