A vigorous development campaign IL
planned for the Bullfrog West Extern
sion. Ten more men are to be added to
the working force. and tine management
will start sacking the high grade In
four different places. At a recent meet
ing OF the stockholders held In Gold
field. the Bullfrog Teddy. including two
claims, the Teddy Oversight and the
geo. 900 shares Of West Extension
treasury stock. and the two companies
consolidated. The merged properties
will be developed through common
workings. The Bullfrog Fraction ground
was also purchased.
According to statements given out.
the West Extension is in excellent
shape. having something like 10000 or
it's equivalent in the treasury. West
Extension treasury stock will be ex-
changed for Teddy at the ratio of one
share of the former for four of the
latter.
Entering upon the immediate plans
of the company Is the erection OF a mill
at Gold Center. where an abundant sup
ply of water can be had Inasmuch as
the Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad runs
within a short distance of the main
working shaft the matter of transport =

The present development plans are to
continue the Teddy shaft. which is
equipped with a hoist and now down
125 feet. 100 feet further. and extend the
EST drift of the Yves: Extension to con-
meet with this opening. The distance
required to MAKE this connection Is
at out $50 feet. Engineer George Sherer

to determine definitely the distance and

copper wires and electricity will soon
rule and as rapidly as it does SO will
the use of copper increase.
Not half the world as yet knows of

When copper was 26 cents a pound no
one could find a substitute for 1t. This
insures a certain demand for it. The
present price will not remain long.
There is certain to be a rise but not as
high as before. 1t will probably remain
between Is and 1s cents. At his price
there is a good fair profit for the mine
owner.
"Yerintgon is one of the greatest cop

take into consideration the fact that
the great copper producers now have

Tn his youth Silas Marner was one of those pale artisans. overworked phy- sically and overwrought mentally. who. without Knowing 1t. were preparing England for great change in the early part of the nineteenth century In these humble men, lowing their necks as unccmpIaining servants to the yoke of never-ending and poorly paid labor. was the germ of the manufacturing class that was 10 take it's full and ar- rogant revenge on society when at last 1t arose and became the ruler instead of the eerf.
 However. the generation of weavers to which SiIas Marner belonged had not reached the daring independence of thought to blame society for its ills or to question the perfect justice of state In which some are masters while the many are servants. Instead, they sought remedy for their troubles in forming fervid, necessarily harlow and often fanatic religious sects.
 Siias Marner belonged to one of these chapels in q manufacturing town. He was highly thought of in that little hidden world and a peculiar interest had centered in him from the time when he had fallen into sudden rig idity- and suspension of consciousness at prayer meeting. It lasted an hour or more His minister's and fellow members saw in 1t a divine gift, and they and and Siias himself would have considered 1t impious to seek a med ical explanation. A less truthful man might have been tempted to invent a vision. A less sane man might have imagined one. Eilas was too honest and, though helpless before religious mystery. was too sane.
 So he accepted occasional lapses into catalepsy as being something of spir- itual significance, laid upon him for some unknown but holy purpose.
 Among the members of his chapel there was one with whom he lived in such close friendship that they were called David and Jonathan. This friends name was William Dane. and he, too, was regarded as a shining ex- ample of youthful piety. Warmers love for him was all the greater for the great difference between them. Ills impossible, self-doubting nature lean ed on the others unshaken assurance and seif-confidence.
 The difference between them was as great outwardly as inwardiy. The hesitating. groping expression of Mar- ner's face was emphasized by de- fenseless deerlike gaze which belongs to large, prominent, near-sighted eyes. Dane's expression of self-complacent, inward triumph was intensified by nar- row sianting eyes and compressed lips,
 Tn his twenty-fift year Silas became engaged to a young woman in the chapel and it was a great delight to him that she did not object to the pres- ence of his friend William in their Sum day meetings. After a while he obs served that her manner toward him changed cautiously. He asked her if she wished to break off their engage ment, but she denied any such desire.

 Every character, little and big, in "Silas Maruer" Is commonplace to the last limit. There is plot, but 1t does not act as centre of interest for the story. In fact, 1t is commonplace, like the characters, and relatively unim- portant in itself. There are no great passions, no soul problems, no thrills.
 And yet Siiar Manner, the unattract- i've, tifnid, stupid weaver of Raveloe stands well among the foremost of all made more real than the millions of real men and women who have lived
 He stands there because in every one of us, rich or poor, wise or stupid, there Is a bit of Silas Marner. Like him, we look dumbly, gropingly, with near- sighted eyes at the mystery of life and of God.

POINTS FOR NEEDLE WORKERS
Little Hints That Will Save Much
Time and Labor.

| In knitting 1t will be found much
easier when casting on stitches. if
using very large needles, to introduce
an ordinary steel needle in place of
the large one held in the right hand.
Use the steel needle for knitting
the stitch and pass it over the large
needle. This is to be done only when
casting on stitches.
Handkerchief are marked in Old
English letters of a very small size
These tiny letters are often placed in
the center of a circle done in the
finest of over-and-over embroidery.
/ For sheer handkerchiefs use a very
fine mercerized cotton.
BY reversing a shirtwaist pattern
and frightening it at the narrow part
it may easily serve as a pattern for a
skirt panel.
Feather stitching is always a dainty
finish for child's dress, but it should
be very evenly done and as small as
possible. No. 8 mercerized cotton is
best for the work
Marking cotton in that soft, cool
shade known as china is used a great
deal in buttonholing and scalloping the
edges of turnover collars.

Beauty in the Russet Tones
of Autumn Foliage

There is an extreme beauty in the
tones Of old gold shown in satins and
velvets as the divers shades of orange
yellows, some of deeper tone than
others, together with the banana shade
in paler tints, and the yellow russell
tones seen in autumn foliage. These
colors in gowns or wraps are extreme
grande mode and handled with the ut
most skill by the able makers of the
day. They are kept usually undis
turbed from color contrasts, but there
are often introduced harmonious
shades in self tones of embroidery
braiding, satin, or velvet for trim
mings. The paler colors of yellow
stand an admixture of white. For
evening wear nothing can be more be-
kitching for blondes or brunettes.
A dinner gown of this golden shade
In a rich and clinging satin was worn
at big dinner of welcome to- an Octo-
Der bride on her return from Hot
Springs. The long skirt was trimmed
by deep bottom fold of satin only
which rose TO an Empire height with
utmost grace of line. A prettily nan
aged drapery of the satin in front was
used as a setting for the short-waisted
corsage, which was a mass of soft
floss embroidery in self tones, while the
lace tucker above was dyed in the
same tone, but lifted into paIer
shade. In like manner was the sleeve
lace treated under a Japanese line of
loose sleeve arm opening. Such gowns
depend upon and require the wearing
Of magnificent jewels. No possible
beauty of trimming will replace them,
while it must not be forgotten that
such jewels never look so fifty worn

HOW VEIL SHOULD BE WORN.
Some Things to Consider with This
= indispensable Article.

Invariably the veil should harmonic
with the color of the hat, though dark
gray and golden brown are fashionable
shades that may be worn with almost
any colored hat.
The smartest driving veil is of ivy
stitched border, and is worn pinned
closely over the hat and face with
flying ends.
While this shade is best suited for
the eyes, it also has the advantage
over other shades that it harmonizes
with almost any color.
Complexion wells are clamoring for
