''Your honor," said prosecuting attorney in an Alabama backwoods court, ''the prisoner at the bar is charged with killing one ot the most exemplary citizens of this county. Thomas Jones, your honor, was in every respect a model man. He was a member of the church; he was never known to bet on horses, play poker, drink whisky or use tobacco. He"

 "Neyer was known to play game?"
 "Never, your honor."

 "Never drank a drop, your honor" "
 "And he didn't chew tobacco?"

Biz Silver Shipment.

The greatest shipment of silver other state at one time was shipped from the Denver mint to the sub treasury at Chicago on an order from the treasury department at Washing ton, says Mines and Metals. It was in 50 and 9 cent coins, amounting to sl, ,OOO, ,OOO, and weighing 6O,O0O pounds. The transfer was needed to h elp out the money stringency down there.
 Twelve wagons were used in mak- ing the transfer from the point to the union depot, where the sacks of sil- yer were placed in private express car, locked and sealed, with two guards, heavily armed, within. These guards travelled all the way to Chi cagO with the money. Probably no one else on the train knew the S1 ,000,. 900 in silver was aboard.
 It required sixty sacks weighing 1000 pounds each to carry the money Each of the twelve wagons hauled something over two tons. The eX, press car in which it was placed was taxed to its capacity. An ordinary freight car has a capacity of about 10000 pounds.
 Orders have been quietly issued by the treasury department at Wash ington to all the hints of the United States to coin up to capacity the sil yer and gold bullion on hand and tC purchase as fast as it can be secured
 As the stock of silver bullion in the i United States is about exhausted government agents are being sent into Mexico, Canada and British Columbia with instructions to engage all the silver bullion possible at the present low price, as au important advance is sure to follow in the neX sixty or ninety days. Even nov there is a pressing demand in uht United States for at least $50, ,000, ,00, more of subsidiary coin, 10, D and }, cent pieces Europe is short of sil yer money. India, China and Japal would like two or three hundred mil lions more if they could get it.

Silver Product in Paradise District.

It has been seen that the silver belt of the Paradise district is an actual occurrence. Shipments have been made and numerous assay cer- tifcates showing high values in sil- yer, have been obtained. The silver belt speaks for itself. The gold belt is not so self evident, principally be- cause it has not been the scene of much work of late, and the proofs of profitable gold shipments are not many, though it is true that in sev- eral shipments gold in paying quanti- ties has been noticed in conjunction with other metals. Quartz is what is wanted in gold mining, and here you have the quartz in abundance.
 Lead in the Paradise district is, however, more tangible than either silver or gold, or even copper. And while the principal money value of ores shipped from the district to date is silver, as has already been stated, there is no doubt that more lead has been shipped than copper or silver.
 Thirty-five cars of lead-silver ore averaging 40 per cent. lead were shipped from the Leadville. Other well known lead properties that have either shipped or are shipping-the Hilltop, the King of Lead, the Texas and many others.
 I With a high lead market, rich lead ore is a very profitable shipping proposition, in this district distant from railroad. For deposits or ex tensive ore veins when found herS are invariably right Qn~the surface and very easily mined. Hence leaC deposits are more frequent here thar copper deposits, which are not usually found at shallow depths.
 There are two lead belts. One ex tends from beyond the Leadville near Paradise, in a sOutherly direC tion, about mile to the Texas. The width of this belt which include: Paradise and a portion of the olC Chiricahua is from half a mile to ; mile. The other lead belt begins d the Hilltop and extends in a direc tion a little west of north to tht King of Lead, variable as to width There is a break in this belt at White Tail creek, and there is considerabl, lead between the Hilltop and bel No. l. Yet it seems better to defn, the lead belts as two in number rather than three.
 There is also more or less lead else where in the district.-Record.

New Property Being Developed in Jerome
 District.

One of the most substantial mining companies doing business in the great Jerome district is the Sycamore Mining company.
 The interest of the local people has been drawn to this property by the fact that some rich ore has been taken from the workings on the prop erty, especially from the deep shaft that is now being sunk to tap the large ledge which runs through the company's holdings.
 The distance to the property over the wagon road is about twelve miles from Jerome, while the property, in an air line, or as the crow flies is only about four miles from Jerome, and less than that from the United Verde mine, due north. The wagon road is in first class condition, having been made so mostly tbrc;1gm the work and money expended upon it by the Syca- more company, the keeping up Oi the road being necessary to enable them to get over it the very heavy machinery being installed for the purpose of doing the kind of work on the group that will demonstrate the value of their holdings as rapidly and economically as possible, and after being opened up, to enable them tc bring to the surface the ores without the extra expense of new workings
 All of the old buildings had been enlarged and repaired, new ones erected, and the facilities for get. ting to the pOwerhouse and shaft have been improved by the building of new grades thereto. The enlarg ing of the shalt has been completed and sinking is now progressing witt | three shifts.

Geological Survey and the Mining In.
 duStry.

In speech before the Tenth Min ing congress, held at Joplin, Mo-, November Il to 16, the director of the United States geological survey referred to the enormous growth of the mining industry in the United States within the last twenty-eight years, which cover the life of the bureau. When the survey was or ganized the value of the mineral out put of the country amounted to less than s2OO, ,OOO,OO in 1907 it promises to exceed $2,OOO, 1000.
 In this development the United States geological survey has played an important part. A leading min ing journal has within a few years stated that ID no other country has economic geology been supplied with such bene ficient results as in the United States, and no other geologi- cal survey has contributed so much to the practical application of the science of geology to mining oper- ations.
 According to the plans of Director Smith, the future of the geological survey in it's first relation to the mining industry includes
 First. The fuller recognition of it's duty in the classification of the mineral lands of the public domain.
 Second. The rapid extension ot systematic field study of all mineral deposits, so that geological explora. tion may keep in advance of eco. homie development.
 Third. The further development ot the survey as a source of authorita. tive and disinterested information for the benefit of the prospector an6 land owner.
 Fourth. The broadening and i'm provement of the methods of select ing mineral statistics, with the pur pose of securing more accurate re turns and of expediting their com pilation and publication.
 Fifth. The investigation of pro cesses relating to the mining anC later treatment of fuels, ores anC other mineral products, in so far al such investigation may be funda mental to the best utilization of th' nations mineral wealth.
 Sixth. The preparation of report that will better meet the needs O the mining industry and the distri button of these notifications nor, promptly and effectually.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con tract diptheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re- those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, w. Va, says, "I have never used anything other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfaction" This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to child as to an adult.

Standard Weights, Measures and Screens

Copies of the memoranda, embody- ing the standards and definitions of 'Weig ghts,'. Measures and Mesh, adopted by the Council of Institution of Mining and Metallurgy, have reached us. The conclusions are, in the main, in agreement with the recommendations earlier made by the respective Standardization c6m- mittees.
 The suggested definition of the term Shines was not adopted, the suggestions received being too diver gent to justify the council in making any recommendations on the subject at present. The definition recom- mended by the committee was: CD That material coarser than 150-mesh be described as sand, coarse or fine; (2) that material passing 15O-mesh, but settling in. seconds in ....- inch column of water be settled as meal and (3) that material settling more slowly in water be described as shines
 The council did nor feel justified in making any recommendations re- garding the general adoption of the Metric System of Weights and Meas ures, on account of the divergent opinions and suggestions received from its members and others.s
 The following definitions have been adopted by the institution and are recommended for the adoption and

FIrst aea Of the TeIearaph.

Long before Prof. S. F. B. Morse
had perfected his great invention the
word telegraph" was used for a sort
of semaphore. In the French revolu-

scopes, was devised to carry news
over immense distances. Forty years
before this time, however, there was
published the first detailed scheme for
communication by means of electricity.
1t is outlined in a letter to the Scots

suggestion was to transmit charge

CLEVER SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Old SaIesman's Advice Left Firm
Worse OFF Than Before.

Henry Clews is telling new story
which he says he got straight from
the Canal street district, says the
New York Times. A young jobbing
firm, the tale tells, overbought for
the fall trade. Their heaviest mistake
had been in the line of overcoats,
which it looked they would have to
carry over season. Efforts to get
cash for the stock were fruitless, ex-
cept at ruinous rates. At last the firm
went to an old-timer in the trade for
advice. WELL" said the man of ex-
perience, you've got pretty good
list of customers Just divide the
coats up into lots of thirteen each.
Send batch apiece to some of your
sharpest customers, but make out
the bills for twelve. They'll be so
tickled to get one coat for nothing
that they'll take 'em ALL" The scheme
had been tried before the men met
again. The old-timer waited for his
praise. We'll, didn't they keep the
coats?" he asked. YES" returned
the jobber, sadly. "One each. The one
that wasn't billed"
