of afternoon functions of the fall.
There are few more successful host

Red and yellow the predominating
autumn hues carried out the color
scheme of the party. Fall flowers
with crysanthemums leading, and
autumn leaves were made into pretty
decorations and the rooms We're more
than inviting in their arrangements.
The score cards were in the shape
of autumn leaves and were most tast-
lily executed.
Mrs. Samuel G. McMullin was the
prize winner in the Whist contest.
Her favor was a dainty silver jewel
case. At finch Mrs. Sherman w.
Moody was successful and she was
presented with handsome cut glass
salt and pepper dishes.
The luncheon Was served in sever
al elegant courses. The refreshment
tables were unique, and very lovely
in their decorations. The ices were
frozen in the autumn colors. yellow
and red.
This afternoon Mrs. Newton Is
entertaining at another party, the
guests numbering twenty-four as Oh

The two parties will rank among
the afternoon social successes of th'
autumn.

FOR THE LOCAL SHELTER.

A report from Red Cliff states that
work on the Percy Chester mine, un
der ]. b. Fonder's management. has
been showing up some splendid re,
suits lately and it is again in shape
to make regular shipments. The
breast of the big stope on the upper
plane has been pushed ahead 100
feet in the past few months and is
now 1000 feet in. Recent work has
brought the channel back into pay
ore, a five-foot breast showing two
feet of ore on the floor, being a cup
erous, direct shipping product, while
the upper three feet is on iron sui
phide carrying copper values and a
desirable staple for the Grand juno
ton smelter which gets the ship
ments. Work is also going along
on the second or sand contact, where
crosscut drift is being run to de-
termine the channel laterally. The
work is showing some good ore and
this channel will also add to the ton
mage. Two new Murphy drills have
been installed, which are proving sat
isfactory, increasing the production
and expediting progress.
