repast.
This company has recently made a
new and rich discovery of fluor spar,
lead and zinc on the c. M. Cox knob
lands in the edge of Trigg county.
The vein was uncovered within five
feet of the soil and has all the APP
.pearance of possessing untold rich
ness. Engineer Fritz, in charge of
the work, and Capt. Tom Shaw,
president of the company, were
present and pointed out the deposits,
and great interest was shown in the
valuable discovery. The company
is composed of prominent business
men of Christian and Trigg counties
and the stockholders are so enthusiast
tic that the price of stock has been
advanced from 10 cents to rs cents
a share.
Preparations are being made TO
begin the work of taking out the ore
without delay. The shaft sunk last
fall about hundred yards from the
new one was flooded and is still filled
with water many feet deep. Machin-
cry has been put in to dip the water
out and the vein will then be fol
lowed to the lower opening in the
valley. The ore crops out near the
surface in the valley and then ex
tends under another hill. If it holds
out as the engineers believe it will,
there is untold wealth buried under
the knob lands.
Following the dinner there were
brief speeches made by Messrs. John
Kelly, Robt. Crenshaw, H. D. Smith
and Chas. M. Meacham, all thanking
the company for the excellent hospi-
tally and congratulating the mem
bers on their bright prospects.

HOLDING A CAMERA.
Some Practical Suggestions to the Sc.
gnuer IN Photography.

Come Practical sueasetions to the &c.
glnusr h Photography.
One of the most important lessons
for beginner to learn Is to hold the
camera 10 the proper position during
exposure. Whenever there are corners
OF buildings or other objects which
give vertical lines the camera must be
held absolutely level. II this IS not
done. the building IN the picture will
appear 20 be falling either backward
or forward, according TO the way IN
which the camera was tilted.
There are times, however. when the
camera may be tilted to an advantage.
In some cases 1t is on absolute neces-
sity. For example, IN photographs Of
clouds, waterfalls, balloons, etc, the
camera may point upward, while In
taking pictures or people swimming
or bathing. children at work or play,
etc. It may I've pointed downward.
Very successful photographs Of
prominent speakcrs. parades. crowds
etc. have been taken when the camera
wns upside down. II makes no differ
encc ia the negative whether the cam
era Is right side UP or not. By holding
the camera IN the way suggested many
a photographer has secured good pic
lures. while others who tried TO use
the camera in the usual way made abb
solute failures.
OFTEN by holding the cainera BY the
side OF the body and pointing 1t back
ward one may secure pictures Of chill
dren at play and Of older people in
natural poses without the knowledge
OF any members Of the group.
Another warning to beginners is nee
essary. DO not try to take time ex-
rosure while holding the camera IN tho
hand. Even II the camera IS held
against the breast and respiration stop
