"In May, 1s49, 1 was in a
stage in the state of Georgia,
riding from Savannah to Au-
gusta," writes Edward Everett
Hale in the July Woman's Home
Companion. THE driver was
going to turn up an avenue for
passenger, and l asked him TO
let me get out. While be was
gone cut this and that shrub
or flower which were new to me.
Among others 1 cut some splen-
did stems of Adams Needle,
Yucca filimentosa, the first I
had ever seen, for you see this
was very near the time of Noah's
food. In a little while the
stage came back and got in.
1 broke off large bunch of the
blossoms. l distributed the
others among the passengers and
threw the rest of my prize away.

we had picked M while l was

A Fortune in One Car of Ore.

Without doubt the richest carload of ore that has been sent out from Tintic in some time was thirty-two- ton lot which was taken from the lease of Matt Newman on the 300 level of the Eureka Hill mine. This ore was sent out to the shelter on Tuesday and if reports are true it was worth a small fortune, says the Eureka Re- porter. It is impossible to learn at this time just how much money the car of ore will bring, but there is every reas on to believe that it will be good for 25,O0O$ or perhaps 3O,000$ after the railroad and shelter charges are paid.
 T..e values are principally in silver, and in some of the pieces of ore the horn silver could be cut like native copper. After round of holes had been put in to break the ore down there was usually few pieces of the ore in the face that would be loose in every way except that they would be held in position by stringers of silver.
 When asked for statement regard ing the value of this car of ore Super intendent Charlie Baker said that he was not prepared to give out any in- formation along this line. He admitted that the ore was sensationally rich and that every precaution possible had been taken to insure its prompt deliy- cry at the smelter. The ore was not shipped out in an open car as is usually the custom in Tintic, but was loaded into box-car, which had been strengthened by the mailing of heavy cleats inside the doors. It is stated upon good authority that picked sam- pies carried as high as 14,O0O ounces in silver.

Mining Chiefs of Many Kinds.

Did you ever pause to reflect upon the responsibility of the mine superin- tendent? says the Douglas Dispatch. There are as many different kinds as there are parts of a linotype. There is the variety who are sent out from the east to keep them away from home. We are all acquainted with them. He will speedily ruin any prop osition on the map. No grade of ore, no quality, size or marked demand can save it. It is speedily doomed when he takes charge if he does not happen to fall in the stump in time to avert it's fate.
 Then there is the man who professes little practical knowledge of the busi- ness, but who possesses an unerring facility for selecting foremen who do. He will get along. His great secret has something to do with the phenom- enal military record of the great Ma poleon. Then there is the man who is practical master of his calling.
 A day seldom passes but what he prowls through every dip, spur and angle' in that property. He is born superintendent. He can fall to his knees in the darkest bin, rub the ore between his fingers and tell the ditfer- ence between waste and low grade and between every grade of ore in the stope. He is all right.
 Suppose it is big proposition in- volving labor of hundreds of thousands of men. A poor superintendent will ruin it. An ordinary one will clean up a decent dividend, better one will give you handsome one, and 'crack- erjack" will net you million a year more than the last mentioned variety. Every dollar realized above expenses counts double and increases in similar proportion. Then what is difference of a few hundred dollars salary per month when that difference is bring ing the company thousands more every week?"
