ANCIENT .oUANJUATo MINES.
From One Shaft $500, 900 900 in Silver
 is Said to Have Been Taken.

At the end of the eighteenth cen tury the mines of Guanajuato were the foremost Of their kind, says Mod ern Mexico It was then that the Valenciana shaft was sunk to 1890 feet, and t is stn the deepest in the district.
 This work was completed in 179- at fabulous expense. It is said ta have cost a million. though even tbls expenditure seems sman compared with that of the Combination shaft. sunk on the ComsfocE lode in 1881; this was 3,100 feet deep and cost se,- 000, ,OO0.
 The cost of the big shaft of the Val enciana was offset by an extraordi- nary production. stated at sS00,000eeO, most Of it extracted during the latter half of the eighteenth century. This figure corresponds with the total out put of the comstock up to the time when the lower workings were aban- doned in 1884.
 On August 20. 1894. the Kings tax on the Valenciana. amounting to the sum of $2,64S.Ss6. was paid. As this represented one-fifth of the yielo Of period of five years, it serves to sub stantiate even the extraordinary sta tistics of these old mines. The other mines on the Vetd Mae-e and those on Ia Luz veins also produced

APPOINTING THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS DUTIES THAT DEVOLVE
 UPON THE PRESIDENT

keeps, and it is copy that is sent by special messenger to the govern ment printing office. to be put into type. Printed copies are given to the newspapers, or to anybody who wants them; but there must be typewriter copies for the governor of each state and territory of the union, and these are made at the White House and mailed from there
 1t will thus be seen that the issuing of the annual Thanksgiving proelama- ton is, from beginning to end. quite an elaborate piece of business. There is no law to compel the president to make it, and MT. Roosevelt. if he had so chosen, might have omitted it this year or during his administration. Or, if 1t should seem proper to him next year, he might choose another day say, the 1st of January-instead of the last Thursday in November. But it is reasonably certain that he gilI do neither of these things, for custom holds fast in the bonds of usage the chief magistrate of the nation equally with the plainest citizen.
 As everybody knows, the celebration of Thanksgiving day dates back to the Puritans. At irregular intervals, after their arrival in this country, they set 91tss by public announcement for =.A--...1 a.. cd s4ze. i=..- 7 z hGe9siEg sset.ehl,ssafe>ii from 5fi fiif fiisfff Following this example, ia the early history of the republic, days Of thanks giving were appointed by the president for special reasons.
 But somehow the pious custom fell into abeyance, and for many years there was no national Thanksgivfng, until, during the civil war, a woman, Sarah Josepha Hale, who edited a woman's paper, and who had been chiefly instrumental in raising $50 900 to complete the Bunker Hill monument
 took up the matter, and persuaded Abraham Lincoln to take an interest in it. Thus it came about that MT. Lincoln issued a proclamation in 1864 appointing the last day of November Of that year as day of prayer and re- joicing. Since then the custom has held. and there has been an annual Thanksgiving celebration for the en- tire nation, at the instance of the pres. ident.
 At the White House, Thanksgiving day Is always very quietly spent, with. out any special elebration-barring the fact that eacf. married member of the official stan, including the DO. hcemen who guarded the premises. re. ceiyes fine turkey Nearly 70 fat birds are distribu ed by Col Crook. the executive paymaster, who is him. self an interesting parsonage. inas- much as he has been attached to the White House staff. in various capaci. ties. since Lincoln's time.

The Other Man Loaned His Opportun
 ity and Is Now Looking for a Job.

Ever meet a man who was absent when opportunity called the roll? asked the man who was wearing his last years clothes.
 T know a man who ran away from his opportunity.
 Just what would have happen to him if he had fingered l don't knew, and he doesn't; but he ran away and the man who stayed profted. He probably wouldn't have opened his mouth about the story if he hadn't read in the newspaper of the death of that man.
 The obituary contained the infor- nation that when the man landed where he built up fortune he had 30 cents in his pocket The man who read the death notice simply re marked that he gave the fellow the half dollar, or he wouldn't have had that.
 The two men hit the town on the same day. They had been travelling together for weeks. The man who was staked was penniless when he and his acquaintance landed. The ac- quaintsnce had a little money.
 He offered more to his fellow traveller. but the latter declined He accepted just what he had asked fo Then the two men started to seek work.
 "The first place to which they aF' piled was a retail dry good store. The merchant said he wanted young man to make fires, sweep the floor and dust the counters. The pay was $250 a week.
 "The applicant who had the sma}. sum Of money had the first option He refused 1t. The other. who had borrowed the half dollar, got the place. When he drew his first weeks wages he rendered the loan to his fellow traveller. The latter declined He told the young man to wait until he was better able.

time the s250 man had hig pay ad- vanced 100 per cent. He sent his friend the amount of the loan with interest.
 The benefactor was still looking around. The man with the job of fered him place in the store, but t was refused. There wAsl't enough ready money fin the job to suit him.
 Several years latter the S2.5O man was advanced to the place of head salesman. He sent again for his benefactor and offered him a place, but this was also declinc.l. A few years after this the g. 50 man was admitted to partnership in the house which by this tinlc was the great retail house of the young city
 He made his luoldan tTiepd another offer, but the latter was not ready. The pay was not sufheiar' A little while afterward the retail house established a wh 1iesale bIsi- ness. It was a great success.
 'The young man who' 5orrUN ed the half dollar was placed at the head of the wholesale concern. Once more he offered his old benefactor an opportunity. but the benefactor de ciined again. and for the same req son.
 "The business kepts expanding. The concern is today one of the big gest in the middle west. When the $2.50 man died the other day he was quoted at a million and a half. He had made it in twenty-two years.

 This was the time Of Humbolct's visit. He says tnat the whole vein (the Veta Madre) of Guananato may be estimated at four ounces of silver per quintal of minerals" As a quintal is 100 pounds, this means ore averaging 80 ounces per ton Of 2,000 pounds.
 Then came the long years of the revolution against Spanish domiRa- ton. In 1910, when in the height of her prosperity as a mining center, Guanaiuato was attacked by the re- publican forces and life became inse- cure, so that mining operations were discouraged and all work of import ance was discontinued. Deep work ceased entirely, no shafts were sunk and the production of ore was reduced to infrequent shipments taken rom supporting pillars and from the sides of old stopes.
 Even such decadent mining be- came insignificant as the miners wore driven toward the surface by the Pericd of general lawlessnSz- that the heavy walls with wateA towers were built around the mfnss, until every property Of consequences had ths look of a fortress. Similar protec, lion was given to the reduction works which became fortified enclosures.

 The tears of women are worth much, though they cost little.
 The fox is cunning, but tbe woman who loves knows far more than he.
 The proverbs of the Arabs place a very low value on women. Here are some samples:
 The beauty of man is in his spirit; the spirit of woman is in her beauty.
 Always consult your wife, out do as you please.
 When you want to get square with man, give him a handsome wife; when you want revenge on a woman, give her handsome husband.

 The coquette .s like your shadow; chase her and she chases you.
