shaft was unwat-red. The workings are
below the bed of the creek, but SO far
little trouble has been experienced IN
handling the water. The streak of ore
just opened aud is from five to eight
inches wide and will run between ten
and twelve ounces in gold, and few
ounces silver per ton, and will carry
about Il per cent. in copper In add
l,ion to this streak of smelling ore
there is from is to 80 inches Of milling
ore of good grade. The shaft is but
little over 50 feet deep, and as soon as
the water flow iu the creek diminishes,
it is the intention to sink to a depth of
200 feet where levels will be driven to

his great military career, and of the steps by which
he reached the position in which we find him at the
opening of the play. But ShakeSpeare's theme is
the rise greatness of Cesar, but the death
and revenge, and behind that the philosophy of
political situation the of which the threat
of a despotism already made inevitable by the
degeneracY of the pOpulace So he sets aside
rather takes for granted the heroic Cesar and is
to show him to chiefly as he appeared to
his enemies.
With all the careful manipulation of perspective,
the adjusting of shade and high light, the bringing
into relief the political significance at the expense
of mere personal portraiture, find at times
almost slivlSh reproduction of bits of action and
phraSng. Compare the following:
SO Brutus boldly asked what he was, god a man,
and what brought him thher' The spirit answered
him =" am thy evil spirit, Brutus, and thou shalt
me by the city of Phiippes.'
Bruus being otherwise afraid replied again it
We'll, then shall see thee again
Bru Art thou anything?

Bru Why st thou?
Ghost. To tell thee thou shalt a Philippi.
Bru Well then shall see thee again'
Ghost. Ay, at Phlippi.
Bru. Why will see thee at Philppi then.
Examples exist of following of the source with
almost equal faithfulness, but with a magical
heghtening of the imaginative pitch that comes
