Innrouino Nature.

To paint the lily; to gid refined
gold" when taken in literal sense,
seem processes too absurd for serious
elaboration Flowers of unnatural
hues, however, bloom in florists win
dows, and the color green as applied
to the carnation is no longer confined
to the title Of book. But the Persians
do even worse things in the name of
beauty. They dress up their flowers.
according to Mr.. Wills in 'The Land
of Lion and Sun"
Persia is not land of flowers. Tin
Mas, convolvulus, asters, balsams, wall
flowers, chrysanthemums, marigolds
and roses are the principal blooms of
the country.
The Persians, not content with the
plain flower, cut rings of colored pa
per, cloth or velvet and ornament the
bloom, placing the circles of divers
hues between the first and second rows
of petals.
The effect is strange. One, at first
glance, supposes he sees bouquet of
curious and bizarre flowers of entirely
new varieties.

Reade's Eccentric English.

Reade's use of the English language,
100, was eccentric, not to say ludIcroGs.
In "A Simpleton,' when he wished to
signify that two people turned their
backs on each other in a fit Of temper,
he wrote, '1They showed napes." De
scribing the complexion of the New
Haven ishwiyes in Christie John
stone" he says, at is race of wo-
men that the northern sun peachifies
instead Of rosewoodizing In "Readi-
ana" he describes gentleman giving
a lunch to two ladies at a railway res
taurant as follows: HE souped them,
he tough chickened them, he branded
and cochinealed one, and he branded
and burnt sugared the other (brandy
and cochineal and brandy and burnt
sugar being Reade's euphemisms for
port and sherry respectively. While
he was preparing his series of articles
on Old Testament characters he read
what he had written to John Coleman
on one occasion and came to this star
Ting passage in his argument:
Having now arrived at this conclu-
sion, we must go the whole hog or
none"
Coleman objected to this phrase.
"You don't like the hog, see," said
Reade. ssWell, it's a strong figure of
speech, and it's understanded of the
people, but-yes, you are right. It's
scarcely Scriptural, SO out 1t goes.'--

BASS Are Real Cute.

It is related for fact that the reason
bass jump-and it Is common practice
Of the fish-is because they wish to ac-
quire grace and strength in testing
their ability against that Of fishermen.
Several men who say they know
what they are talking about point out
that bass do most of their jumping
during the spring and are especially
active just before the open season be-
gins.
At this time they may be seen doing
long distance jumps, somersaults and
side stepping.
One bass expert goes so far as to say
that he spent an entire afternoon
watching a three pound bass dragging
a long willow sapling through the
water and acting as If it were caught
on a hook.
Leaping into the air, it would turn
in half circle as if to disgorge the
barb, and then it would swim back
ward in an endeavor to snap the
branch.
This fisherman asserts that what
jumping the bass do during the sum-
mer is merely to keep in practice and
not get stale.-Philadelphi North

The Boomerang and Its inventors.

The boomerang is rather puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
Of mathematics had been laid under
contribution In the perfecting Of it.
The convexity on one side, the fairness
on the other and the sharp, knifelike
edge on the inside Of the convexity
have the air of having been carefully
thought out. Yet the people who in
vented this singular weapon cannot
count higher than five and are desti-
tute Of all the arts and amenities of
life. Theirs is perhaps the lowest
plane of human life. Some people have
assumed that the boomerang was the
creation of an older and higher civil
zation, but for this there is no evidence.
1t must be the product of an age long
empirical use of throwing weapons

to play the violoncello fairly well. On

BOY WITH TIN WHISTLE IN
THROAT BECOMES CALLioPE

DEs MONIES. Iowa, Sept. Liars
Larson, 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Johan Larson, living near here. is achiev-
ing fame as a human calliope.
The lad, who is of an initiative turn or
mind, swallowed a small whistle few
days ago after seeing calliope that
travelling circus brought here. He said he
could become whistler of note If he had
lungs as strong as the steam chest of the
calliope, and so, when he obtained the
whistle, he promptly swallowed 1t.
Much to his satisfaction the whistle be-
came fixed crosswise in the throat and
now the youngster can make music that
can be heard half mile away. He is
gradually learning to play tunes on the
whistle, and his practice, in which he
insists in indulging at night. is keeping
his father and mother and all the neigh
bors wide awake.
'srhe boy is in no danger said sur
geon who examined him, "and probably
he will soon be able to draw big salary
from a musenrn as the only living cal
liope. AS he has an ear for music, there
is no reason why he should not play tunes
on the whistle by breathing in the
proper manner"

SEARCH FOR MICA DEPOSITS
is ACTIVE IN ARIZONA
Another Paying Industry May Be
Added to Others in Southwest

For years miners and mining experts
have been searching the hills OF Ari-
zona for mica, but up to date little OF
commercial value has been discovered
Three mica experts, ]. w. Bagless
from Omaha, T. R. Limmons from More
head City, N. c., and Harry Orr OF
Pinal county, are now in the territory.
The two former are experts in searcn
of mica deposits. the latter practical
Arizona miner, who is remarkably well
versed in mineralogy, and particularly
so with reference to mica.
Experts have contended for years
that the mountains of Arizona have
been too much disturbed by upheavals
to contain mica of commercial value,
but Mr. Orr, who has had years OF ex-
perience in working mica mines ana
who is very familiar with its character
istics, thinks differently
In the mountains southeast OF MARI
copa Junction large deposits OF mica
schist have been found, and the chances
are that before many months this I'M
portant mineral will be added to the
numerous other paying industries or
Arizona Good commercial mica is
valued at from twelve to fourteen dol
lars per pound. 1t is used in the arts
also in electricity. 1t has taken the
place of glass in all the battleships OF
the world, as the jar Of cannon destroys
the strongest plate glass. The more
common quality is used in decoratiVe
paints and lubricants. The principal
supply of mica in this country comes
from Canada and the Black Hills In
Dakota. Considerable is found in the
sand dunes of North Carolina, and 1t is
hoped to add Arizona to the short llst
of mica producers before the end OF the
present year.

GREAT STRIKE is MADE
IN UNITED VERDE DISTRICT
LITTLE DAISY CLAIM CONTINUES
IMMENSE ORE BODY
Jerome Verde Copper Company's
Shaft Is In Close Proximity
to the Little Daisy
Shaft

Jerome, Ariz.. has had a thrill of ex-
citement. On August the United Verde
Extension company's shaft on the Little
Daisy claim entered what promised to
be a large body of copper ore and the
deeper the shaft penetrated the immenser
the mineral deposit was found to be. 1t
turned out to be virtually "black" cop
per and as the manager of the mine said
"every bucketfu hoisted since that time
is pay dirt" 1t will be some months be-
fore the size of the ore body can be DEM
onstrated. as 1t is the intention of the
company to continue the shaft, now down
over 400 feet, to about 1000 feet before
drifting andacrosscutting are started.
The Little Daisy lies directly between
Senator Clark's United Verde smelter
and the workings on the Jerome Verde
Copper company's group. The latter is
the company which Is represented in Los
Angeles by the General Securities COM
pany, 224 South Broadway. They have
twenty-eight patented claims to Senator
Clark's fourteen, and are believed by ex-
perts at Jerome to be in line for great
revelations as to the value of their hold
ings. Their shaft is down about 475 feet,
in which distance they have cut through
several valuable ore bodies, and will be
sent down 200 feet farther, when 1t is ex-
pected to reach the ore body formed by
the United Verde and the Little Daisy.

IMMENSE ORE SHOOT OPENS
IN OLD DOMINION COPPER
Veteran Miners Are Rewarded for
Thirty Years Hard Labor

BISBEE, Ariz., Sept 1.-Old Domin-
ion has had very satisfactory week.
The smelter has made a heavy output
of copper, with the full battery of five
furnaces in blast. The ore supply has
been ample without encroachment on
the reserves of $4,000 tons. The i'm
mense stock of coke has been added to
daily and the arrivals of supplies of
various kinds has taxed the capacity
of the railroad. Every department has
been busy and progress has been
marked.
The important incident of the week
was the strike of sulphide ore in NO. q
crosscut west on the fourteenth level
The opening is now ten feet into the
ore, the grade of which Is fully up TO
the average In other crosscuts on the
same vein. This sulphide ore shoot
has been sufficiently opened to demon
strate that it is the richest and prob
ably the largest ore body developed in
any copper mine in Arizona, and Its
value Is computed at more than twice
the present selling price OF the capitai
stock of the company.
An undivided half interest in a min
ing claim in the Kelvin district has
been sold for $4,000. The deal had
been pending for some time and with
the arrival OF w. e. Sharpe, president
of the Calumet Copper company, from
Philadelphia, the parties got together
and finished the transaction The
claim was owned by Tom Haley and
William Souffrien, who have been In
the Kelvin country for over thirty
years.
About September of last year Hon.
Thomas f. Weeden of Florence took
an option on the claim and this option
was to expire on the oath of the pres
ent month. During this year, accord
ing to parties in touch with the trans
action. $4,000 worth of shipping ore
has been quarried off the surface OF
the claim, which is otherwise undevel-
oped. AS the time approached for the
expiration of the bond interested par
ties got busy and as result Mr.. Twlt-
chell, general manager for the Calu-
met Copper company, came forward
with the cash to close the deal.
The claim sold lies southeast of the
Raw property and across Mineral creek.
The name of the claim is the Calumet
mining claim and was originally located
by Thomas HALEY, Walter McCallen
and Fred Mckenzie, but 1t was ailoWeu
to revert back to the first two. They
have had a separation. The deal means
more, however, than mere transfer OF
ownership. Back of it are great plans
by the purchasers, the Calumet people,
to begin more extensive, DEVELOPMENTS,
the increase in the capacity OF their
mill and the possible very near result
of a big smelter in the Kelvin district

GOVERNMENT MAKES REPORT
ON COPPER PRODUCTION
Output for Last Year Establishes a.
New Record for the Red
Metal in This
Country

The United States geological survey has
lust issued preliminary statements of the
production of copper, lead and spelter in
the United States for the year 1906. These
reports are subject to revision, and the
production Of these metals will be made
the subjects OF other comprehensive state:
ments that are now in course of prepara-
ton. The preliminary reports are based
on figure. submitted to the various
smelling, reduction and refining compa-
nies throughout the country. They are
designed to afford the earliest possible fig
ures relating to these metals. but In the
forthcoming publications the figures pre-
sented Will not be confirmed and details
added that do not now appear, while
there will also be general resume of the
progress for the year in the extraction
and consumption of each of the metals.
In 1906 according to the governments
preliminary report, there were $685. 1874
pounds of copper produced in the United
States. which is an excess of 100000
pounds, or per cent. over the production
of the preceding year. making a new rec
ord of the output of the red metal in this
country The total is made up of Michi-

and of the refined copper content of the
