The most notable agent of this kind whose case
has come under my notice is the Baroness de Kaua,
widow of an Austrian nobleman and divorced wife
of General Jung, of the cleverest officers on the
general staff of the French army. When Marshal
MacMahon President of the French Republic,
managed not only to form an acquaintance with the
latter, but likewise to win his friendship and con-
hdence. She established herself in a beautiful
apartment within stones throw of the presidential
palace, and was accustomed to receive de Cissey
frequently at d@jenter and at dinner. On the days
when the cabinet councils were held, the General
would regularly stroll after the meeting to her
apartment for luncheon and would leave his portfolio
in the salon when he adjourned to the dining room.

Good Showing at the Opp.

G. A. Myrick came down from the
Opp mine last Saturday and Monday
he returned taking his family with
him. They will reside for the pres
ent in Jacksonville, but later ON when
house can be had he will move to
the mine so as TO not have to walk
the mile from the town TO the mine.
Mr.. Mryick has been at work for the
past month at the Opp mine where
he operates Burleigh drill. He
stated that operations were progress
ing like clockwork at the Opp and
that the l0-stamp mill is operated to
its full capacity and for "a hours each
day including Sunday. Five power
drills are employed in getting out
ore and in doing development work
and nearly 100 men are employed in
the various departments.
The Casey & McWilliams mine,
which adjoins the Opp property, is
being developed and is showing up so
satisfactorily that mill is likely to be
erected this year on il. Big prepara-
tions are being made at the Blue
Ledge copper mine for extensive de-
velopment and large number of men
are being employed.

emily, to have any effect on the enjoyment
of those present. The evenings program
