IN THE HIGHEST OF TOWNS.
Great silver Mines of Cerro de Pasco
Become n Copper Proposition.

Great silver Mines of Cerro de Pnsco
Become n Copper Proposition.
If you look at picture of Cerro de
Pasco, Peru. you will see wide valley
plain inclosed by ranges of the Andes
without a bit Of vegetation anywhere
visible except in the four deep gulches
that cut the fat surface of the ples1I.
says the New York Sun. This sur
face is bleak and bare because it stands
1920 feet above the sea, and the
mountains around 1t rise into the region
OF eternal snow.
No mining district in South America
is now attracting more attention than
Cerro de Pasco. This is because the
silver mines found there, the most ia
nous of the continent, are completely
changing their character.
The galches of Cerro de Pasco were
for centuries famous as one of the
greatest sources of the worlds supply
of silver. They yielded about $780,
100000 worth of silver and more cop
| per.
Since then they have been yielding
less silver and more copper, and to-
day it is known that the copper de-
posits in view will be one of the lead
ing sources Of supply for an indefinite
time to come About 10000 people are
living among those gulches and on the
valley surface, all dependent upon the
mining industry.
Another thing that distinguishes this
mining center is that Cerrc de Pasco
Is the highest town in the world A
few score of miners in an adjoining
district are living about 800 feet higher
in the air, but no other own In any
land with a permanent population, is
| perched so high above the sea as Cerro
de Pasco.
This mining center has suddenly be-
come a scene Of great activity. The rea-
son is that American capital, convinced
that this is one of the greatest copper
fields, has acquired large mining rights.
Over $14,O00,OO0 has already been ex-
pended in buying land and preparing
to produce copper on large scale.
The greater part of the native pop
ulation of the town Is IN the employ
OF this American company. 1t Is hard
to get any other kind of labor, for
North Americans and Europeans find
life exceedingly trying at this great al
titude. and most of the imported en-
ployes do not remain long at the mines.
Newcomers are constantly succeeding
them
The altitude also gives rise to GER
tain difficulties in smelling the ore, but
science and energy are backed by
money, and all difficulties are gradually
being overcome.
A wonderful change is coming over
the region Just as the North Ameri-
cans came in, the railroad reached
Cerro de Pasco. The train has now
replaced the pack mule over the Andes.
The new managers have substituted
furnaces and electrical appliances for
the primitive mining methods hitherto
employed With their new mechanical
devices, higher wages, better food and
incessant push they are stamping new
conditions upon the life and mining in
dustry of this famous center of wealth.
Last year the Americans shipped 90
$4,000 pounds of copper to the United
States and they say they expect rapid
ly to increase the output till 1t reaches
at least 100000 pounds year.

The youth seeker worries not.
She learns neither to borrow nor
hunt trouble.
She meets it with laugh when it
does come.
The laugh may come hard, but even
sickly smile is better youth keeper
than tears.
She lives moderately; neither work

She thinks, feels and lives youth

Gray hairs and freshness but accen-

She enjoys the present to the full,

She keeps a well body, knowing that
i'll health is the surest destroyer of

She never gives her mind vacation,
but keeps it abreast with the times,

She keeps her heart young, knowing
that therein lies the true secret of a
successful fight ON age which can
daunt even wrinkles and youth-destroy-

When the skin is blotchy and ,Hottled-
looking, relief is often given By wiring
ing a hot cloth out of boiling water and
applying it to the face. Be careful that
il is not so hot as to burn the skin or
the cure will be worse than the disease.
After keeping the cloth on for a min
ute, apply another wrung from cool
water. Alternate in this way several
times, then dry the skin and rub in a

CHAPTER III.

Father" said Lola, "there are ever
so many people in the village i'll with
fever. Isn't 1t sad?"
M. and Mrs. Greswold OF Enderby
Manor had been submitting to a fort
nights dissipation in London, and this
was their first Sunday at home after
that interval. They had returned late on
the previous night, and house and gar
dens had all the sweetness and freshness
OF scene to which one is restored after
absence. They had spent the summer
morning In the village church with their
daughter: and now they were enjoying
the leisure interval between church and
luncheon.

chair under cedar within twenty yards
of the dining room windows, and Lola

with little touches of light hands upon
his hair or his coat collar, adoring him

between them was passing the love of
the father and daughter of every day
