PATS MIND WAS LOGICAL.
Quick to See One Strong Point as to
Victims Identity.

Previously to entering the railroad
yards an bodied loafer picked up
small. glittering object from the
sidewalk and. without examining 1t
very closely. pinned it to his coat,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Three
minutes later he collided with slow.
ly moving freight train, was hurled
against a post and picked up insensi
BILE. The train dispatcher, notified by
telephone, called up Patrick Doyle,
the yardmaster's assistant, and said:
You'd better search his pockets,
Doyle. Find out who he is, notify his
friends and report to me-"
A few moments later the report
came:
There's not a line OF writing on
him. said Patrick, "but we've identi-
fed him by the badge on his coat. He
is a Lady Maccabee."

SHELTERS REACH
FOR NEVADA ORES

The horizon of the mining industry
throughout the West is beginning to
clear after the late financial furry.
In midwinter mining in many locali-
ties was virtually at standstill ow-
ing to the stIngency in the money
market and the attitude of the smell
tiers in their treatment of ore produ-
GERS. Now, however, the embargo
:. on money has been removed, and the
shelters are beginning to reach out
after the ores on more reasonable
terms, the result being that ore ship
ments are being quite largely resum-
ed and small shippers are enabled
to begin operations upon more en-
ergetic scale, while big mining COM
panies who were virtually closed
down during the slump, are quietly
adding to the forces and increasing
their payrolls. Improvements are
also being made and there is no
ticeable increase in the demand for
mine equipment and milling machin-
cry
The decline in metal quotations
has also been a handicap to the min
ing operator, and every metal, with
the exception of gold, has been on
the toboggan slide, although it is be-
lieved that the bottom has been
reached, and that renewed activity
along industrial lines will soon see
decided Improvement in the metal
market
As it is only ores of the first-class
order can be profitably handled un-
der present conditions. and this pro-
hibits the operation OF low grade
mines which were working at profit
last summer and during the early
fall, and these, unless equipped with
reduction works so that higher val
ues in concentrated form can be fur
nished the smelters, are practically
at standstill.
Still, certain conditions have OBJ
tanned on account of the depression
that are favorable to mining opera
tions at the pre- ent time. Labor Is
not so arrogant and oppressive. and
in many camps wages have been re-
duced so as to be in harmony with
the ability of the mine owners to
give employment and pay for the
same. while railroads are far from
being as congested as they were dur
ing the boom times Of six or eight
months ago. and railroad companies
are inclined to be more reasonable
