Manager Geo. S. Stephens, of the
Metropolitan tunnel, stated yesterday
I At the tunnel was now being driven
ahead with machine drills at the rate of
six feet every "a hours. He has ar
ranged with Contractor Knowles to in
crease the working force so that the
tunnel will be continued ahead at the
rate of over 200 feet a month. This
can be done by working another drill
ing and mucking shift and providing for
ventilation at the breast SO that pow
der smoke will not interfere with the
workmen and but a small loss of time
will be caused by blasting. The head
ing of the tunnel is in a spar and gran
ite formation which is probably the
Christ vein, which was named after the
president of the company, Mr.. A. H.
Christ, of Philadelphia.

The deferred annual meeting of the
Sun and Moon Mining and Milling COM
pany will be held at the office of the
company in this city next Wednesday,
December Is, at O'Clock in the after
noon for the purpose of electing a
board of directors, and to act
on resolution authorizing
the directors to give lease and an op-
ton to purchase all of the COM
pany's property both real and personal.
1t is generally understood that the Sun
and Moon property has been sold to
D. S. Curry and associates of Canada,
and that the meeting is called for the
pMpose Of having the stockholders
ra1ify the sale of the property. The
purchasers, it is said propose to sink
below the level of the Newhouse tunnel
and to continue the raise upward to
connection with the main shaft work
ings as originally contemplated under
the Sims management.
Messrs. Olson & Carlson, who have a
lease on the surface on the Boulder
Nest claim on Red Elephant mountain,
have opened good streak in an adit
near the old workings, which is fully
four feet wide and is scanned and
streaked with mineral which with little
sorting can be made into product rum
ming from 20 to 80 per cent. lead and
which will carry from Is to 80 ounces
in silver per ton. The vein filling is a
|decomposed quartz which is easily cob
bed, and the leasers have bonanza
even at the present low prices of silver
and lead. All of the material could be
concentrated at mill, but hand sorting
will Offset the cost of hauling and mill
| ing the crude ore, and unless the char
acter of the ore changes, no attempt
will be made to mill the material. The
point at which the men have lease is
near the old-time rich shoots which
were so productive more than quarter
of century ago, and is on block of
Iground which at that time was consid-
lered of too low grade to receive any
lattention.

The process by which nature
forms her silver mines j. very in
teresting. II must be remembered
that the earth's crust is full Of wa
ter, which percolates "verywhere
through the rocks. making solutions
Of elements obtained from them.
These solutions take up mali par
ticles of precious metal vhicA they
find here and there. Sometimes the
solutions in question are hot, the
water having got so far down as to
be set boiling by the internal heat
of the globe. Then they rush up
ward, picking up the bits Of metal
as they 90. Naturally heat assists
the performance of this operation
Now and then the streams thus
formed, perpetually flowing hither
and thither below the ground, pas:
through cracks or cavities in the
rocks, where they deposit their lode'

Captain Tuckey was commission
ed by the British government to ex-
plore the kongo region in west Af-
RIGA early in the nineteenth century.
One of the discoveries made by the
captain proves that a select few of
the Kongo women had reached a
stage beyond the utmost dreams of
present day woman sufrragists. The
sovereignty Of one tribe he found
to be hereditary in the female line.
Daughters Of the mighty chief were
allowed to choose their own hus-
bands. over whom they became
most absolute mistresses and can
even extend their prerogatiye to the
selling Of a refractory spouse to
slavery" Little wonder, reflected
the captain. that the honor of a
royal alliance ''is a matter of but
little emulation among the gallants
Of the koueoese court" As the
chief had o. many as fifty wives the
demand for eligible parts for royal
princesses was fairly steady.

Leather Furniture.

4 never failing method which
NAV be rcsorted to for the cleaning
of leather furniture is the follow
ing: Dip a soft wooden cloth in boil
ing milk and wipe the leather with
this, rubbing gently until all the
dirt is removed. Wipe dry with a
soft flannel. When the leather is
clean 90 over the surface with a
piece Of flannel on which is spread
a tiny bit of prepared wax, about as
large as a pea for the surface OF a
chair. The wax must be spread on
the cloth a. thin as possible After
the waxing go over the leather
with a clean soft flannel, rubbing
briskly, but not too hard. Here is
the rule for preparing the wax:
Put four ounces of beeswax. cut in
small bits, in a bowl, place the bowl
in a pan of hot water on the back
Of the stove. When the wax is
quite soft take from the fire and
beat into it half a cupful of tur-
pentine and one tablespoonful OF
paraffin oil. II the wax gets cold
before ready for use, place it in a
pan of hot water for a few minutes

PAGANINpS BURlALS.
Remarkable Wanderings Of the Famous
Musicians Remains.

Paganini died at Nice in 1910,
md, although he made confession,
he did not receive the sacrament
for medical reasons, which the doc
tor stated in writing. The bishop
refused Christian burial to the
body, and the son appealed to the
Nice tribunal, which upheld the
bishop, but a further appeal was
made to Rome. During this delay
the body, incompletely embalmed,
was deposited at the hospital. From
thence the coffin was removed to a
lazarctto at Eillefranche.
After a month the authorities
there determined to get rid of it
and deposited it by the side of a
stream formed by the refuse COM
ing from an oil mill. After. some
days the Comte de Cessoles, a
friend of Paganini, decided to re-
move the body, which he did by
night, having it carried along the
seashore in a storm to the Cape st.
Hospice.
Here it was buried and remained
for two years, when the great vio-
linist's son determined to take his
fathers body to Genoa to be buried
there. The ship. however, was re-
fused admittance at this place, as it
had come originally from Mar
settles, where there was cholera, SC
the body was put into a hole in the
rock of a tiny uninhabited island
near Cannes.
Five years later the body was
taken to- Gajona, near Parma, anC
buried there on Paganini's owl
property. This was in 1916. In
1853 it was exhumed and re-em
balmed. In 1876, thirty-six year,
after the musicians death, tn,

church at Parma with Christian
rites. Twice again was the bod.
exhumed, apparently out Of curiosl
ty, and finally pane of glass wa.
put into the coffin to render visible
the face, which had been preserved
