The whole island Is iron ore except
2 strip from 60 to 1870 feet wide on the
west and a sand fiat across it's north
ern end. The island is 1920 feet IN
length and 52S feet in greatest width,
its highest point being 100 feet above
high water mark.
1t is estimated by the geological
survey that the amount of ore above
high water mark Is 1900, 900 tons, and
that the additional ore available be-
tween high and low tide (23 feetl
amounts to 100000 tons, making a
total of 2,250,000 tons of available ore.
The rock on the western side of the
island is greenish, highly altered
trachyte, In which there has been
great development of east and west
cross quartz veins, probably formed
before the iron was introduced into
the Surrounding region. On the south
side Of the island are three outcrops
of pure white statuary marble, from
10 to 20 feet across and 20 to 60 feet
in length.
1t is believed by some Queensland
biologists that the ore metasomatical-
ly replaced limestone and slate and
that the formation of ore may still be
going on, inasmuch as the ridge top
supports figs and scrub vegetation,
showing that spring water is still
reaching the surface. The ore con-
sists chiefly of cryptotcrystalline mag
netite, with massive hematite, and has
scarcely trace of impurity. Its
specific pravity is>45 to 4.6.
Blocks of ore up to 10 feet in diam
eter are piled up around the base of
the island. No work has yet been
done, hut there will be no difficulty
in mining down to tide level. To work
below that level wall of ore will
have to be left to prevent the entrance
of the sea water.

Ermine is as popular as ever, and

The same is true of chinchilla, that
fragile and exquisite silver gray fur.

The Limit.

"a West End doctor says the modern
drawing room is q death chamber, and
that its contents form an ideal breed
ing ground for disease germs.)
Amanda, whom I 30 admire,
And hold as Ewes most beauteous
daughter,
For thy sake would go through fire,
And also through the coolest water;
There's naught in air on earth, or sea,
l would not face for love of theey
The jungle's tangled depths I'd pierce,
To prove that passion fires my being;
No beast of prey. however fierce,
Should find me from it's talons fleeing.
I'd look it in its eyes of fame
And breathe thy soul inspiring name!
I'd stand before the deadliest gun
That ever came of mans invention;
But, STILL Amanda, there is one
Thing would rather like to mention:
I dare not face the dreadful doom
That turks within thy drawing room!
shudder with affrightedness
Whene'er I think Of those bacilli.
And must candidly confess
dare not step inside-nor will I.
So let me; love. when next call.
Pay my addresses in the hall.

lation in favor of better game laws in
North Dakota, and to assist in their

apprehended and punished! If you
have any suggestions to offer for inn
proving the game laws, write letter
to. the secretary, giving your ideas
about what is best to do.
The associations next annual
meeting and tournament will be held
at Fargo, June 1914, to transact it's
regular business, consider the game
laws and participate in trap shooting.
The program will be popular and
on different plan than any followed
In the past .
The foregoing is part of one of
the letters Just sent to sportsmen all
over the state by President C. E. Rob-
bins and Secretary Treasurer f. H.
Bailey Of the North Dakota State

Badly Spotted GRAY Dress.

A handsome gray dress skirt had on
1t smear of black railroad grease,
which did not yield at all to ordinary
cleaning. So kerosene was used, the
wet spet being afterwards covered
with fullers' earth and left to dry.
but there remained still some of the
black stain. Again the kerosene was
vigorously applied, followed by the
fuller's earth, as before, and the result
was all one could wish. It was impos-
sible to see where the spot had been.
and it never came back, IS grease
spots are prone to do.

tact by the old families Of this country
appears all the more remarkable when
1t is considered how generally all lines
of industry. aside from that of the
farmer, are In the hands OF foreigners.
The dry goods trade Of Mexico is
controlled by the French; the Span
iards Of Mexico are the country's
grocers; the Germans do the hard
ware business: the railroads, aside
from government interests, are con-
trolled by Americans and English; the
bank stock Of Mexico is largely held
in Europe. while a large percentage
Of the industrial concerns of the coun-
try belongs to foreigners. :
Not SO however, the agricultural re-
sources, of Mexico. During recent
years great deal Of American capital
las entered the republic for invest
ment in tropical plantations, particul-
arly in southern Mexico, but the great
bulk Of MexicGs rural land is held in
the form of extensive haciendas or
ranches, other hundreds Of thousands
OF acres In extent. Some Of these es-
tates have been handed down in the
same families for nearly 400 years, not
few titles tracing their origin back
to the first grants from the king of
Spain after the conquest.
The aristocracy Of Mexico is counted
among these landed proprietors, many
of whom enjoy princely incomes from
their plantations, which often produce
great variety of products and en-
brace several manufacturing plants.
1t is largely due to the fact that the
tax upon land of this character is
light that these estates have so long
remained undivided, as, In most in
stances, only a small percentage of
their areas is under cultivation.
As IN many states the levy is prac-
tically only tax upon products, the
unused acres are no great burden.
Many who have the countrys interest
at heart want to, see these tracts
taxed SO that the owners will be
forced to sell at least portion of
them and the land Of the country
divided among a larger number of
small proprietors Such measure
would be vigorously opposed by the
wealthy land proprietors and such are
THE number and importance of this
class that no active measure of this
kind has ever been promulgated.

whistling the other morning, contin-
uing the piercing shrek all the time

tied ono long blast reaching from o.

whistle on record. A grain Of sand
or some other hard substance had got
stuck In the whistling valve and all

Portuguese West Africa d one part

atm honrishes. according to Harper's
Magazine. The writer thus describes
what he saw At BenEuela: n
A, u a day or two before the steamer Is
due TO depart kind of ripple seems
to PASS over the stagnant town. On
Gals stir. clerks begin to crawl about
with pens, the long, low building call
"a the tribunal opens 2 door or two,
y q window or two and looks quite busy.
Then. early one morning, the curador
arrives and takes his seat In the long,
low room az representing the bene-.
ftcent government Of Portugal. IN his
presence the slaves, are herded in
gangs by the Official agent. They are
ranged up and In accordance with the
decree Of January 20, 1908, they are
asked whether they go willingly as
lab0rers to San Thome. No attention
Of any kind is paid to their answer.
In most cases no answer ID given. Not
the slightest notice would he given
of q refusal:
The legal contract for five years.
labor on the island on San Thome or
Principe is then drawn out and, also
In accordance with the decree, each
slave receives a tin disk with his num-
Der, the initials of the agent who se-
cured him. and In some cases, though
not usually at Benguela, the name of
the island to which he is destined. He
also receives In q tin cylinder copy
OF his register containing the year
Of contract. his number and name, his
birthplace, his chiefs name, the
agents name and observations of
which last I have never seer any.
Exactly the same ritual is observed
for the women as for the men.
The disks are hung around their:
Eecks, the cylinders are slung at their
sides and the natives, believing them
to be some kind of fetish or. white
mans Ju-ju.' are rather pleased. All
men are then ranged up and marched
out again, either to the compounds,
where they are shut up, or straight
to the pier, where the lighters, which
are to take them to the ship, lie toss
ing upon the waves.
"The climax of the farce has now
been reached. The deed. of pitiless
hypocrisy has been consummated. The
requirements of legalized slavery have
been satisfied. The government has
redeemed the slaves which its own
agents have SO diligently and so
probably collected. They went, into
the tribunal as slaves; they haye come
out as contracted laborers.'
mo one In heaven or on earth can
see the smallest difference, but by the
change of name Portugal stiles the
enfeebled protests of nations like the
English, and by the excuse Of law she
smooths her conscience and whitens
over one Of the blacklist crimes even
Africa can show"

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

Maine republicans have decided to
hold their state convention at Port
land, June q. So far as the head
of the ticket is concerned there is
nothing to suggest that the nominee
will be other than William II. Cook,
the present governor.
Mayor Tom L. johnson of Cleveland.
has accepted the nomination as Ohio
member of the democratic national
committee to succeed John r. Mclean
of Cincinnati.
George H. Doud, who has announced
his candidacy in Oklahoma for the
Socialist nomination for congress, is a
newspaper man and veteran Indian
fighter. He was formerly populist
in Kansas.
Charles E. Hughes begins to loom
up as the next republican candidate
for governor of New York. Perhaps
he will have no engagements at the
time that will prevent his acceptance
of the high responsibility.
Captain William P. Kent, who was
the republican nominee for lieutenant
governor in the last Virginia election,
is said to be slated for an important
diplomatic post abroad.
Rufus Bullock, the only republican
ever elected governor of Georgia, and
who played conspicuous part in the
reconstruction period, is now spend
Ing his declining days in the village of
Albion, N. Y, his boyhood home. He
Is an almost helpless invalid, though
his mind is as brilliant and clear as
ever.
Democrats of New Jersey have
opened their state campaign. The
home of the trusts, as New Jersey has
come to be called, shows every indica-
ton of falling in line with the revolt
OF other states against corporate DOM
ination, and the democrats are of the
opinion that this spirit will help them
to elect their full state ticket this year.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
whose second term expires next
March, is to be candidate to sue
coed himself. His increasing promi-
hence in the senate and the prospects
that he may be big factor in the fu-
ture politics of the United States,
makes the question of his reelection
a most interesting one. So far no
candidate has been announced against
him.
