suppose that our ore bodies, or rath-
er the values in them, disappear at the
arbitrary line represented by the No. h
! tunnel level. II two and two make

rising sun and the setting Of the sun,
the recoverable values in our ore bod

and heavier naturalization. 81.
u That we are Offering the public the
most magnificet investment PROPOSE
ton in the United States today, cam
not fail to be verified upon investiga-
ton. 1t is the one exceptional oppor-
tunity to become interested In a min
ing enterprise that carries with it ev-
cry requisite Of safety, certainty, per
manency and profit.
Trust funds are the most sacred in
trusted to the keeping of either indi-
viduals or corporations. Our PROPOSE
ton Is SO strong, SO stable, SO safe,
SO sure and certain, that we would
have no conscientious scruples in rec
commencing the investment of such
funds in our enterprise. When we go
to this extent our friends can depend
upon it that we know what We are
talking about. Our vocabulary fails to
present the case in stronger or more
vigorous terms. ID
During the past few days a great
many people have been interested in
our proposition. All of them recog-
nize it's merit, and number of them
have signified a willingness to- join
us, but the amount of stock spoken
for has not quite reached the aIlot-
ment. If you are interested. it will be
necessary to act with promptitude, as
the close of the day may see the end
of your chance to invest with us in
what is undeniably the grandest mon
ey making enterprise in the county
today. T..
Investigate today, because it may
be too late tomorrow, and remember
that mining is the most profitable in
dustry in the world. During the year
1906 mining products added nearly
two billion dollars to the wealth of
the world, This sum is so stupendous
that it staggers the imagination, but,
nevertheless, there is no good reason
why you should not have your proper
ton of the 1907 production and you
certainly will have if you only make
up your mind to become a part owner
with us. sE2A
Don't forget that we are offering
stock at SO cents, which is only a
trifIe over one-sevenLh of what it is
worth, and remember that the offer
may be withdrawn today, because we
reserve the right to withdraw this
offer at any time and without notice.

A gown that was to be used for an
afternoon reception was of lavender
chiffon taffeta in combination with
embroidered batiste. The skirt con-
sisted of seven cores that had tuck
at the back edge of each and also one
in the center except the front which
has one at each side of thee enter,
thus preserving the regularity of the
spaces. These tucks converge to-
ward the belt but fare gradually
from the top and are stitched about
half way down. The bodice is tucked
in duchess style, those in the back
extending to the waistline. The waist
is mounted on silk lining. The front
is open to the waistline showing v
shaped chemisette of tucked chiffon
and edged with the long ends of a
shawl collar of embroidered batiste.
The bodice is collarless, vertical tucks
in duchess style are made in the
sleeves which are crossed at the ell
bow by bands of the batiste below
which fall frills of chiffon. A shaped
girdle of alternating bands of the
taffeta and batiste affords waists
completion.

Something About Skirts.
Never before in the history of the
world did fashion have wider scope,
>.11aan ut has this season. Take the
skirt with all the various styles and
colors, stripes, plaids, checks, plain,
smooth and rough materials, there
are three or four ways to make these
garments.
For the present the pleated skirt is
the favorite but after all everything
depends on the material, but a model
that is much worn is the fancy pleat-
ed skirt with the pleats set in below
the hips.
Ruffled skirts are much favored
where the material will permit the
two ruffled skirts, each one half the
depth of the skirt, is selected as a
model in soft silks and poplins.
The plain walking skirt Of seven
gored empire pattern is one of the
best models and this is fitted round
he HRS butspreads widely below. il
is made without any ornamentation
of any kind but 1t has two or three
plain bands around the foot, these
bands are of velvet sewed at the up.
per edge only, SO as to set out and
make a pretty finish to the skirt.
The five gored skirt is also very
popular, but it needs to be trimmed,
and the wide handsome border OF
heavy lace around the bottom is a
favorite way of trimming these skirts
another popular method being to ap
ply a ruffle about foot in with q
beading Of lace, or a piping of silk
or some fat velvet bands.
There are many other styles toe
numerous to mention, found in the
fashion books by which one can make
a pretty stylish skirt, sol it is easily
seen that one can have skirts of vari
Gus cut, styles and trimmings and
still have one of the latest models and
what is true of the skirt is also true
of the waist, hats and everything
else

IGRAND LIST SHOWS 1 BIGGEST INCREASE EVER
New Ravens Taxable Property Has Increased About Three
 Millions.
ADDS $42,o0o TO INCOME
Financiers Will Now Have About $7,OO0 More Than
 They Expected.

The estimate of the board of asses sors of the sum which the grand list of the city of New Haveh will figure for next year was handed in ito Control Ter Rowe yesterday in accordance with the annual custom in order that the board of finance may have the figures on which to base the estimated income for next year from which to make their appropriations The grand list shows a most robust and healthy increase, the addition this year taking the record as the largest recorded. According to the assessors figures the grand list up to the present time which does not in clude those estates which have not yet been sworn to and are eligible for the ten per cent penalty foots up S115, 5,165,- S97 This shows an increase of $3,797,- 505 over the figures at this time last year which were $111, S6S, ,S92 and an in- crease of $2,9OS,9 over the complete figures of last year as they were after everything was in,
 The increase went nearly half a mill lion dollars over the increase estimated by the board of finance as that body had figured upon an addition to the grand list of about two and a half millions. This in the matter of income will mean about $7O0O extra for the help of the departments next year. The total added income of the city next year figured on the present tax rate will be in the neighborhood of S420Go.
 Two years ago the grand list figured s109, ,S45S99, making an increase last year of the actual grand list over the year before of $i,7OS, O69 The total in- crease as it will be added to after the ten per cent. penalized estates come in to complete the list will be in all prob ability over three millions.
