of Mr.. Davidson. He does not want to

1T scarcely amounts to a problem.
The mine lies only about seventy-five
feet below the surface. At it's extreme
extension the depth is considerably
less because of surface depression
there. What I suggest is this: Dig a
shaft at the extreme end, thus making
a second opening, and pass air freely
through the mine from the one opening

TROM that hour forth the Red
Il wood mine became a paying
property and, as Guilford Dun
n can liked to think, one which
was contributing it's share to the pub
lie benefit and the welfare of the peo-
pie.
But Duncan's work there had only
begun. Having solved the problem of
shipping coal as fast as the miners
could dig it, he gave his attention next
to the equally pressing problem of in
creasing output. In the solution of
that great help unexpectedly came
to him.
He was sitting late one night over
the books and correspondence when,
near midnight, miner sought speech
with him.
He babe the man enter and without
looking up from the papers be was
studying, asked him to take a seat.
Still without taking his eyes from the
papers, he presently asked of the man,
who had not accepted the invitation to
sit:
"Well, sir, what can do for your

Meanwhile Duncan had almost forced
the miner into chair.
'Tell me-" he said, chow it is that

'"That I'm a miner? You think of
me as an educated engineer, eh? Well,
that's a long story and not at all so

answered the other, with the merest
touch Of sadness in his utterance.

Indians. or such Of them at least as
have any business ability. A good
many Of the Indians trap during the
winter, but the trouble with the major
ity of them is that they do not know
the value of their catch and are likely
to sell a $22 otter pelt for 81 or IS, and
a $11 mink peIt for dollar, or perhaps
pint of whiskey. The white man is
well aware of this fact, and some a.
gents make it their business during the
winter to do nothing but buy furs of
the Indians, selling them later at a
handsome margin of profit.
These agents usually travel from re-
servation to reservation by dog team
or snow shoes.
Even the little weasel, scores of
which daily leave their tiny tracks
in the snow on the outskirts of the
towns are worth 81 each for their pelts
They we're valueless three years ago
and two years ago were worth 10 cents
each. For time last winter the peIts
brought so cents each. The weasel
| also belongs to the homologue of the
American sable together with the mar
ten, mink, fisher and otter. The Ameri
can sable really is the marten, accord
ing to some authorities. 1t is common
ly called the pine marten, and at first
glance the only distinguishing feature
between 1t and the mink is a spot oil

PROSPEROUS TINES.
Furs Worth More Now Than For
Past Thirty Years.

The many trappers operating along
the northern boarder will reap a rich
harvest the present winter, meaning
many comforts, even luxuries, in the
log cabins of scores of sturdy settlers
in the wilds of the northern country,
who are mainly dependent upon their
traps during the cold months for a
livelihood.
The settlers and professionals in the
country directly tributary to the Great
Lakes look to mink, marten and otter
to make their trapping operations
profitable, and the pelts Of these little
animals at present command higher
price than at any time during the past
thirty years, while there has been a
decided slump in the prices paid for,
furs from the black, blue and silver
fox which bring only $50 each now,
where year or two ago they we're as
high as $500 apiece.
Last vii ter $3.50 was considered a
good price for a mink pelt, and it
wasn't more than a season or two back
that $3.50 was the highest paid for a
single pelt of this kind. Now choice
raw mink fur will bring $11, and a mar
ten pelt from $18 to $40, where Sc or 81
was paid last winter. An otter skin Is
worth $22 just as it comes from the
trapper's hands, which is away above
any price paid for more than thirty
years. Quite a few fisher are caught
through northern Minnesota and these
are worth from So to $40. Beaver are
very scarce in this state. They are
worth from 81 to SO each.
The higher prices paid for furs will
also prove a boon to the Minnesota

ory of Norma Wanna

So far this is the story of Norma Wanna
for the American people are not &C
customed to the mannerisms and act
ing of the Russian plays.
Madame Bertha Kalich is tall and
OF the brunette type usual to the He
brew, with eyes that while most express
sive, can hardly be said to be winning.
She cannot be classed as beautiful,
but her art has a mimicry which is
sure to bring fame to her. Critics lay
great faith in her possibilities as an
actress. They believe that after thor.
Ough schooling on the American stage,
the requirements of which are far diff
ferent from those of the Russian, she
will become famous. for she comes of
a race which has achieved wonders.
And when we encounter marked talent
in the Hebrew race no one living can
predict how many rungs of the ladder of
fame may be traversed successfully. The
greatest actors. not only of the present
age but of the past, have been and
are Jews. OF the women we have from
Rachel to Bernhard, and the men
range from Dawson to Edwin Booth,
while passing reflections may be given
to the ability of David Garrick, Mrs
Siddons and host of others in whose
veins were some drops Of Oriental
blood.
Bertha Kalich's appearance in Chi
cago was greeted with an outburst OF
enthusiasm which continued through
out the many weeks Of her perform
ance there. Such well-known critic as
w. H. Hubbard of the Chicago Tribune
in reviewing "Monna Wanna" and its
leading actress, said, Madame Kalich
is enrolled in the. list of great artists.
She is now an actress of peculiar and
uncommonly attractive qualities and
gives every promise of becoming in a
few seasons one of the most notable
women on the American stage. Watch
ing her during the week has brought
conviction that she is the possessor
of remarkable talents and that these
talents are susceptible of a developing
and shaping which can but place her
high in the esteem Of a large class
of the bese theatregoers and add an
other great artist to the small list OF
really gifted players that our stage
can boast. She has the power indis-
pensable to any artist who is to endure
and whose work Is to be Of any wide
reaching infiuence-the power to at
tract the public.
