Ccl. Back to the Mine

He saGdled the horses. helped me on
mine, and We rode as near 10 the tunnel
as possible. With a great effort I got 70
the mouth Of the tunnel; outside I found
a dump OF very showy ore, having zinc,
lead. and some copper pyrites I went
into the tunnel and examined the vein;
here found an lS-inch streak of the
same kind Of ore that was on the dump
outside. and between II and the hanging
wall about feet OF modest-lOoking
quartz.
1T had none OF the low-grade mineral
in IT, and looked so barren that the
average miner would consider Il no good.
but as / examined II closely I saw little
specks and little thread-like circles OF
glistening black mineral all through IT,
which my experience told me was gold
in tellurium form. My sickness left me
Instantly and 1 showed such alertness
In sampling the grayish looking quartz
that Andy became uneasy and asked me
not to work so hard Thinking that
did not see the lOw-grade metallIferous
streak. he called my attention to II. say
ing 1t was the pay streak. I said: Never
mind. Andy; always assay everything
in vein However, I took some sam
pies from the galena zinc streak and got
returns from them Of S per ton. while
the samples from the communicating
rock went away beyond my highest ex-
pectations.
Il came back. looked over the situa-
tion, and found that the men who did
the work, although they were no ordi-
nary prospectors. saved the snowy low
grade stuff and threw the modest, but
rich, ore over the dump. from which
afterward shipped it. This mine has al
ready had a net production of great
many millions, and stands to produce
many millions more. and a strange coin
cindence Of IL all is that the bonanza part
OF the mine is Immediately beneath where
I picked up the piece Of porphyry In the

In addition to the natural attractions Of
Glen Echo. Manager L. d. Shaw had

of the grounds. This years chief novelty
is The Fountain Dive" one of the
swiftest affairs in the way OF an aerial

The dancing pavilion was one of the

COULD WE LIVE ON MARS?

The physical conditions on Mars are in many ways intermediate between those found upon the earth and the moon, and 1t seems plausible that the life existing upon it should similarly be of a higher type than that found on the moon and of a lower type than that found at present on the sur face of the earth Even if the phy- sical conditions. as we understand them, were equally favorable with those on the earth, civilization would by no means be necessary conse- quence Had it not been settled by Europeans the United States would still be wilderness. How much less should we hasten to accord civilization to a planet of which we know little except that if we were transportedl there ourselves we should instantly die. w. H. Pickering in Harper's Magazine.

This Method May Ruin the Stomach. To become a physician one must study medical literature for a long time and attend several years at a medical cullege, dissect at ease one hu- man body, pass many quizzes and ex- aminations, and at last receive his di- ploma, whichsentitles him to the M. D. degree
