Value of Steel Rods in Fishing.

From the Outing Magazine
The steel rods, so much In vogue for boat
fishing, and the oldest Of them not dating
back much more than two decades. have
their merits and dement's Theoretically
they should be splendid for casting. But in
fact for some obscure reason, they have
a strange lack OF the whip" quality that
filings the line far, accurately and lightly
This all but disqualifies them for trout On
the other hand, their wonderful strength
and power In bend make them-when OF
good quality-f1ne rods for boat fishing
They tire four-pound black bass In half
the time OF their rivals In bamboo or lance
wood and take up slack with a strong auto
matte action that saves many a big fish
Their worst trait Is the hidden flaw whieh
no eye can detect in the buying and which
may part the rod at the first days fishing
] have steel rod now sixteen years old
tested on hundreds OF big bass. and which
has broken but once. and then by corroslon
which a little watchfulness would have
cured. On the other hand. another steel rod
of mine has broken four times within the
last eighteen months. two tips parting In
the same number of days and both in strik-
ing small FISH. But IL each steel rod carries
thus an invisible lottery ticket, the price
for the risk 10 not high: and the graceful
and invariable curve which never succumbs
to wind, weather or exposure on fresh
water-lends the steel rod a special charm
that partly offsets its considerable incrmi-
eu1per.

The Beauty Of Machinery.
From the Reader.

FROM tne reader.
Certain people imagine that machinery Is
ugly, embarrassing and disagreeable Had
they finer and clearer vision they would
see that the ugliness Is In the misuse OF
the machine by Incompetent or careless
men and women. The weil-made and we'll
cared-for machine has a beauty of It's own
that comes of strength. simplicity. precis-
ion. truth and harmony with the divine laws
that control the universe. We may stand
beside giant bandsaw while. with scream
ing clamor. 1t rips a huge log into mate
rails for home. To the clear vision ii Is
luminous with a strange beauty, a beauty
we are only Just beginning to understand
Its brilliant blade flying with incredible
speed Ia making roof-tree to shelter
happy mother.
In another place we see machine whose
purring cutters are shaping beautiful white
pine into holdings of classic form to
Decorate home-making million feet OF
moBdings, all alike. Perhaps some sensi-
tive soul cries: How distressing: % me-
chanical. 30 montoncus! How sad It all

is," Dear souli Creep back to your dusty
studio. Is IT not better that ten thousand
homes should have graceful forms on stain
and sash and door than that one home
have Handmade holdings and the others
none at all? The cutters of this machine
can and do accurately produce the splendid
curves designed by the sculptors and the
architects VINO made Greek temples glori-
Gus The machine Is "a missionary of the
beautiful, bringing the best of art forms
to every home, so that even door frame
may be altogether lovely. Machine mold
ings are not ugly because cheap. They are
beautiful and cheap.

1t should be explained that nearly all The

as music, art, literature and domestic sci

now admit women to the lecture rooms, but
the number Is comparatively small. At the

are taking very severe courses in philos-

Popularity of American Shoes.

American shoes are becoming very popu-
lar throughout all Europe. Indeed. the
trade has grown so rapidly that the deal
ers and manufacturers OF Germany and
Austria not long ago appealed to their gov
ernments for protection and assistance and
the newspapers OF both countries started
boycotting campaign in behalf OF the
local trade. which only served to advertise
American enterprise and the superior quail
lily or American goods. One firm which
has factory In New Jersey has establish
ed a chain of shoe shops all over Europe
selling all goods at a uniform price, which
/ believe 10 $3.50 a pair; sometimes their
stores are SO crowded as to be uncomfort-
able. English boots and shoes were for
merry considered the best in the world but
nearly all the large establishments In the
cities Of Great Britain now sell American
goods and advertise them.
Notwithstanding the complaint heard at
tA4 recent National Association OF Boot
and Shoe Manufacturers about the advance

OF boots and sheer from the United States

SUNNYSIDE IS LISTED.
Thunder Mountain Mine Will Now Be
Called on Local Exchange

On Monday there will be listed upon
the local exchange the stock OF the
Sunnyside Mining company, the strong
organization Of .Pittsburg capitalists who
own forty-four full claims IN the Thunder
Mountain mining district of Idaho. This
company Is capitalized at 5000, 900 shares,
Of par value Of 81 each, and there Is
no Indebtedness registered against the
organization. The management during
the life of the company has done from
5000 to 5000 feet of tunnel work, 400 feet
OF Wines, 400 feet of raises and 600 feet
of crosscuts.
The equipment Of the property includes
forty-stamp mill, amalgamating and
cyaniding plant. 1t is certain, however.
that this fall will see an entirely new
concentrating plant erected by the COM
papy Manager John Treweek of the
Sunnyside company expects to leave at
any moment for Portland, where there
are being made tests upon the company's s
ores. Following the decision OF the
proper manner to treat the resources Of
100-ton plant this fall, and should this
prove satisfactory a 5o0ton plant will
be added to the equipment,
Last year the Sunnyside company made
test run Of 1900 tons OF ore. which
yielded the sum Of S6476. The large
amount of exploratory work accomplished
has displayed all enormous tonnage OF ore
which the company will begin TO handle
soon as all the questions involved are
solved to their satisfaction. The Sunny
side stock already is listed upon tho
Pittsburg exchange, and 1t is expected
to meet with quite a cordial welcome In
this city. F, T. F. Loveioy is president
OF the company, and E. r. Russell is Sec
retary

VISITOR FROM sTATELINE.
Properties in District Are Sending Their
Gold Ores Into Market.

Ambrose Hedges OF Beaver county, well

Mr. Hedges Is vice e-president OF and n
large stockhoder in the Standard Gold

and OF which w. ]. Dooly Of Salt Lake is
secretary The Standard company ia
comprised OF Utah people. each one of
whom has a personal knowledge OF the
merits Of the properties. In number three
full claims. which show a contact vein
the full length Of the property, the av-
erage width Of which Is about ten feet,
The ore consists Of gold and silver and
gives an average value Of IS per ton, as
shown by numerous samples taken from
and near TO the surface. About $4,000
worth OF development work has been done
by the opening UP OF the vein In places
along its entire length and the sinking OF
a working shaft. now down seventy five
feet, all in continuous ore. 1t is the In
tention OF the management to continue
sinking 10 considerable depth before
prosecuting will be attempted. To this
end the present work Of the company Is
now being directed. One most encour-
aging feature Is that the ore vein en-
larges and the quality Of the ore I'M
proves with depth, The ore bearing vein
On lulo property lies DeLWeSu OlTuSSJe
and soft white porphyryo which IS I'M
pregnated with manganese, and Is shown
TO be a great contact incased between
walls.
The indications are that the ore vein
Is permanent, as at no place In the
workings are there any signs of pinchng.
These mines, in the estimation OF those
most competent to Judge, who have ex
arnined the property, can be made great
producers by development work prop
erly and economically directed. Adjoln-
Ing this property. Mr.. Hedges says. Ed
Peak. a mining man OF means, who is
president Of the Standard company. is
working on a mine of his own. the Stem
wlnder, adjoining. and Is shipping $50
ore right along. This Is mentioned mere
ly TO show that the mines OF the State
line district can be made to pay and
are reliable producers when honest min
ing effort Is put forth In their develop
ment. The Standard properties also ad-
join the famous, but badly mismanaged,
Johnny mine, which has produced gold
ore OF the value OF sl.25 per pound Mr.,
Hedges says Of the Johnny: "It was, 1t Is,
a great gold-produclng mine-grcater and
richer than any gold mine yet found In
the State"
