WOMEN GOLD MINERS

One of the richest gold mine owners
in the Klondike is Miss Frances Fritz,
now Of Council City, Alaska. She went
the science of gold:mining thoroly, and
then became United States deputy re-
corder Of claims. In this position she
learned the location of the best claims
in the country and obtained possession
Of them when they were for sale. In
a little while she became millionaire,
while the average miner went home no
better off than when he came.
While some women are unearthlng
the raw gold in the wild west, at least
one is promoting gold mines in the
east Miss Maude de Haven Ogan, a
brilliant society woman of the oldest
American ancestry, is president OF a
gold mining company: She has inter.
ests in other gold mines, and IS now
planning a consolidation OF them, which
may prove real gold trust; MISS Ogasn
divides her time generally between
New York and Washington, and IN
spite of her great business cares, she
contrives to go out a great deal IN So
ciety. Miss Ogan is a descendant OF
Mary Ball Washington, the mother OF
George Washington, and is, therefore,
collaterally related to the first presl-
dent of the United States. The Oganss
claim the enormous unsettled estate OF
Joseph Ball. Another ancestor OF Miss Is
Ogan was Jacob de Haven, who lent
money to the government at the time
Of the revolution. =,

they settled Tin Texas when that state
was at itsLwildest, two years before
the war. Their home was al log cabin.
Battle with Indians, who burnt the
roof over their heads. and fights with
robbers and cattle stealers were, of al
most weekly occurrence Then Mrs.
Martin was left without resources thru
the death Of her parents, and Sshe set
to work bravely to make: a living for

FAD OF A DUCHESS

The Duchess of Sutherland is one OF
several titled Englishwomen who have
shown much business ability in "plac-
ing'' the work Of less fortunate woml-
en-. She has restored activity to many
village homes by opening market for 70
homespuns and other beautiful Scotch
materials. The industry has been
valuable to the crofters, who, during
the long winter, had no means of earn
ing living. She has solved the prob
lem in those northern lands Of keeping
men and women constantly employed,
wiser way than waiting to give them
artificial work when they are unem7
ployed. The reason why these Scotch
materials are so beautiful is that they
are dyed with seaweed from those wild
coasts, and the tints thus secured are
understandable in any other way. Lady
Londonderry, Lady Cadogan and Lady
Arthur Hill have revived the art Of
lace making and have taken infinite
pains to push the Irish wares in Paris;
and away in Killarney, Lady Kenmare
has organized new industry in inlaid
furniture, which is said to be as beau
tiful as anything that can be found in
Italy,

Princess Elizabeth WED spent some

Empress Augusta showed her much
kindness. The princess was one day 60

her foot slipped, and a gallant young
lieutenant caught her in his arms, saw

were married eight years later. :
From5 that time to the present her
history has been almost as clearly con

Of Rumania as her husband IS. With
self sacrificing devotion she attended
the sick and dying soldiers in Prince
Charles army. She has established
soup kitchens, schools, cookery classes,
hospitals, and has given lectures in her
adopted land. Her charities are many
and far-reaching. She has, collected

LOYAL TO WOMEN

One of the beautiful lessons of the
life of Susan B. Anthony will be. the
inspiration her loyalty to women will
give to other women. Miss Anthony
always went to woman when it was

news to man reporter if there was: a
woman reporter at hand, and in: aHathe
affairs of life she was just as loyal.
In settling up her accounts her physi-
clan, DR.. Marcena S. Kicker, was asked
to send in her bill, but she declared
that she would accept no money. All
