The August number of the Lad
les World is given up chiefly te
fiction-and excellant fiction it is,
so good, in fact, as to restore ou1
belief in the short story. There is
variety enough to suit every taste,
but all have that touch of human
nature that makes them attractive
to everyone who reads. AS a col
lection the illustrations are remark
able, and geographically the mag
azine is, as always, delight to the
eye. Besides the stories eight in
al1-there are the usual depart
ments, which take up timely mat
tiers of household interest, of health,
the care of children, Summer and
the complexion and the mid-sum-
mer fashions, all treated in sane,
practical way, which gives the inn
preston that the writer's know what
they are talking about. To sum
up, this number is up to the usual
high standard of the publication. -

About COmmanche

A consolidation has been arrang-
ed between the Commanche Mining
and Smelling Co., and the Copper
Gulf Mining Co., the properties OF
which are located in the Silver City
district of New Mexico. The new
company that is to be formed Is tc
be called the Maquon Copper Co.
with 10000 shares at $40 each.
Fifty thousand shares will be ex-
changed for the stock of the Com
manche Co. and the same number
for the stock of the Copper Gulf
The remaining 100, 900 shares viii
be issued for cash at par, and So.
900 shares of these will be opened
to subscription Immediately under
call of So a share.
David L. Fairchild and H. B
tIovland, who are president ane
,;oo ,resident respectively of thu
conner Gulf company, will sub
sorito Co. H. entire $4,000 share:
Co. .hoo, and other Duluth
parties; but the first ~ I,
scribe for 4O,OOO shares " =,
fered the Commanche stock. -,
The Duluth parties take IL,
shares and all of the 40, 600 share,

pie.
As the Commanche company is
heavily in debt and is now in bank
its stockholders will contri-
butte 10 cents share for each share
of Commanche stock to be used in
paying the debts. The Maquon
company will acquire all of the
of the Comnanche COM
pany either by acquiring all of its
stock or by a judicial sale of its

the payment of the company's
debts.
The property of the Copper Gulf
Co. joins that of the Commanche
Co. in the Burro Mountain mining
district near Silver City, New Mex
leo. Their combined properties,
with the ample working capital
which is guaranteed will make the
new company one of the strongest

ball team it has been learned that it
was not through the fault of the

last Sunday. Their manager had
balled up the dates and to make
matters worse left on Saturday S
train without saying anything to the
boys. The Mesaba team will be
here Sunday and the game will be
played at l o'clock sharp in order
to give the boys time to go home on
the 2:3O train. Csc will be charged

The Commanche Mining & Smell

prominent people are among It's
stockholders. 1t went into panK-
ruptcy last December, and tor a
long time it seemed impossible TO
extricate the company fron It's
financial difficulties. That success
has been achieved is said to be due
largely to the efforts of committee
of the stockholders, of which julius
