Silver Plate From the Wooden Case

Coffin of George Washington.

This plate was fourI among the

was removed to the new tomb. It
was attached to the outer wooden
case, which was so decayed that the
plate fell off and was not observed

Handbag Newness.

The little handbag is as necessary
as ever 1t was; consequently there
are some charming new modes made
in soft leather with leather handles,
outside pockets for a handkerchief
and an extra pair of gloves, and an
inner clasp bag for a purse and small
toilet requisites. Of dainty silk or
sld-fashioned bead-bags to carry with
an elaborate afternoon gown there is
also endless choice at all the big
shops.

way without fusing, soldering or
even heating the two metals or plates.
A compound wire; strip or plate
consisting of a core of one metal
with a covering of another-is drawn
to the required thinness, and portions
OF the outer metal are dissolved
away in acid, leaving the ore bare.

in grooves in a ~cireular rod of porce-,
lain or other Insulating material.
Though intended for measuring the
intensity of light, this thermopile Is
claimed to be adapted for other uses
such as for measuring high tenn
peratures, and for accumulators on
motor cycles.

Continued from Page Niue) at the market might cause it to double in price. The same is true of Allouez, Centennial and old Dominion.
 One of these days there will be a re- turn of confidence to speculative cir cles and the most daring traders will pretty surely turn their attention first to stocks of the character I have de- scribed. No one can doubt for 2 mo ment that every one of these stocks, and also Copper Range, Utah COnsol- dated, Amalgamated, Anaconda, North Butte, Butte Coalition, Greene Cananea, Boston Consolidated, Utan Consolidated, Utah Copper, Nevada Consolidated and Cumberland Ely, will again sell at more than twice their present prices. There unquas- tionably are much greater opportuni- ties for big speculative profits in the coppers than in any other class of se curities traded in on the market to- day. The speculator who is holding the leading railroad stocks will stand a better chance of making twice as great a profit if he will transfer his money into the best of the coppcrs.
 The money market is not getting easier as rapidly as was expected. It may be two or three weeks longer before the expected revival in the in- yestment market is realized. When it comes it will supply the telephone and electric companies with money needed for extensions, and this should cause an immediate revival in the market for both copper and the cop pers. believe the best of the cop pers should be bought now for invest. ment.

TWO QUEENS.

WINKELMAN, Oct. 19.-The fact thiTty-one sacks of ore were recently shipped to the Humboldt shelter from the Two Queens mine is but one of the indications that have lately come forward of the splendid condition and progress of this property. The com pany is now concentrating its efforts upon the work of driving the main tunnel, which is in 416 feet, and cross cutting from shalt number four. This crosscut has penetrated soft forma- tion carrying some pyrites of iron, which is regarded as indicative of the presence of large ore bodies near by. The large equipment of machinery lately installed is giving excellent re- suits. Mining conditions in general throughout the district are most sat isfactory, and some record produc tions are looked for during the coming season.

WALTERS PRAISES
 NEW PITCHERS
Douglas Dispatch.)

NOSASAeio JASpGiltu-J
 White, Porter and Wright, the three top-notchers secured by YOhe at Dal- las, can surely deliver the goods" ," said Rube Walters, the reliable slab ster for the shorthorns, as he dropped in on the sporting editor of the Dis patch after his return from Bisbee last evening.
 'I know all three of them" contin- ued Rube, as he borrowed a match. "I saw them work out in Dallas last spring just before the season opened. and I tell you they can be depended on. I base my judgment not only on what I saw myself but on what l was told about the three men by a reliable dope dispenser that knew all about them.
 White is from the Southern league, where he led in stick work and in out fielding. He is an Outfelder and pitcher, and a cTacker-jack, safe hit ter. At base running he ranks high as a clever filcher. He enjoys the distinction of having made the longest hit of any batter in the state of Texas last season.
 Porter is a big man, carrying pos sibly 190 pounds, and is a high grade right handed pitcher. He has steam, puzzling curves, is cool headed and -naUar- 9nes- -hallOnning. He is from the Western association, where he played with Springfield last season. He is reliable and does not booze and is fair with the stick. YOhe has se- cured him for his work in the box. He may be able and probably can fill most any position in the field, but his place is in the box.
 Wright led the Texas State league last season in stick work, his batting average being about 1852. He is a whirlwind shortstop and second base man, and played for Temple in the state league. He is a medium sized man and a speedy base runner. You bet Wright will make good from the start.
 The beauty of the three men is that they are fast reliable ball players, al- ways ready to deliver the goods. Yohe had his judgment with him when he secured them. and they will be a power of strength to our team"
 Rube refused to discuss yesterdays game at Don Luis park. In the game Thursday he was charged with eight hits when in reality he only allowed three. Yesterdays game was devoid of interest because the Douglas team was all in pieces.

SBRSFIELD SILVER,

MONTEZUMA, Colo, Oct. 19.-Prep
 arations are on foot for an active win, ter campaign in this district Work on the plant of the Summit Power company will be completed by Feb ruary 1st. The Central Colorado com. pany is also in the field making con tracts with Monteuma operators. At the Sarsfield Silver mines some new ground has been opened up showing high-grade ore. By the coming of summer it is anticipated that this property will resume it's old position among the heaviest producers of the camp. By that time the new tramway system is expected to have taken defi
 nite shape. This tramway is designed to connect the various mines surround
 ing the town with the concentrating mill, and should effect a heavy reduc
 tion in shipping costs. In the mean, time, large operators are actively al work in the effort to be in readiness to take advantage of the new condi
 tions at the earliest possible moment

AGED ENGINEERS
 ARE RELIABLE

Engineer A. J. Ingle of Baltimore. who is in charge of the engine draw ing the passenger train between that city and Winchester, Va, entered his seventy-fifth year last January. He is a good illustration of the conten- tion that locomotive engineers, as a class. are a flat contradiction to the cry that modern methods are push ing the old men to the rear.
 Scores of the best and most reli- able engineers all over the United States are from 50 to 60 years of age. Many have reached the 65, while there are still others who have reached the 70 mark, and are still at the throttle

nothing escaped. Assured that all parts were in perfect working order, he climbed unsteadily back into the cab. Then the signal for the start sounded, and soon the train was flying across on its journey.
 But there was nothing unsteady about the running of the train. It was now in complete mastery of a trained mind, backed with years Of experience that embraced everything that could possibly arise under any circumstances. Everything was done with the certainty and regularity of clockwork. The old engineer had done this one thing so long that it had be- come second nature to him.

BIC PROFITS.

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo, Oct. 19.- When high grade ore can be mined for about S1.25 per ton and hauled to the railroad for 70 cents per ton, the profits of the operation are readily apparent This is the grade of ore encountered a few days ogo on the Liberty vein at the extreme eastern end of the Wellington estate. The shaft here is down over 60 feet, and the ore is carbonate lead carrying considerable silver. It does not re- qGire milling, but can be sold direct to the smelters. The Gro tunnel of the Wellington is also reporting steady progress. The breast of the tunnel shows 16 feet of fine ore run ming as high as 40 per cent zinc and 20 per cent lead

there ought to be some age limit, but each and every time have been finally forced to abandon it, so far as the engineers are concerned.
 "On our road" said Travelfng En- gineer Dellert, of the New Haven, "the age of our engineer cuts no figure so long as he can pass his examina- tion. We've got men running who are pretty close to 70, and they not only can do their work, but are among the best engineers on the road. Near ly all of our best engineers. in fact. are men pretty well along in life. In stead of seeking to lay them on on account of their age, we hate to see them go and hold on to them as long as we can"

With aged hands on which the veins stood out strong he showed his long-spouted oil can into the depths of the great machine, at times unsteadily climbing upon one of the big side rods connecting the driving wheels, that he might be better able to get the oil to the right spot.
 With short steps he made his way around the locomotive, peering in this place and that, examining bolts and running gear with eyes from which

TUBERcLE BAclLLi IN BUTTER.
Not as Apt to Be Present in Butter
Made from Sour Cream.

1t has been assumed that butter as
at times and is therefore a source of
danger. But little is as yet known
about what happens to the bacilli in
cream and in butter, but here and
there are going Investigations that
have in them much of interest. 1t is
possible that in butter are found other
forms of bacterial life that are more
powerful than the disease germs and
are able to destroy them. This seems
to be indicated from experiments that
have been made at various times,
though we must not assume that the
matter is as yet settled. In Germany
some eXperimenters added some tu-
bercle bacilli to sweet cream and made
butter of it. After ten days the but
ter was examined and the bacilli
found to be alive. 1t was examined
10 days after being made and the
tubercle bacilli were found to be dead.
1t is possible tFat the increase of fer
ments in the butter resulted in the
destruction of the disease germs. This
was further indicated by the results
of placing some of the bacilli in sour
cream and making butter out of that.
The germs were found to be alive
after seven days, but dead after ten
days This is an encouraging feature
of the examination. We may conclude
from it, says Farmers Review, that if
there is danger of tubercle bacili be-
ing present in milk that is to produce
the cream for butter, it is better for
the buttes to be made from sour
cream than from sweet cream. It
seems quite evident that the Tactic
acid ferments are enemies of the
disease germs.

come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about a year and half of suf-
fering he grew so bad had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. l

of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura

months the sores were all well. He
