THE NEW DlREcTolRE BELTS.
Novelties Come in All Shades, to
Match the Costume Worn.

The woman with an eye for Christ
mas, or prizes, should invest in some
of the directoire belts that are thought
so smart just now. If she is clever at
making things it is possible to save
by buying materials.
These belts come in all the soft pas
tel shades, in black, white and dark
colors. or can be made to match any
suit. They are three or four inches
wide and long enough to tie at the left
side and hang almost to the knees.
Sometimes they are of satin, tucked
in the middle and edged with ball
fringe; again they are of satin ribbon
and round cord, woven or plated in
five strands, pointed at the ends and
finished with silk tassel. ~
When worn with an ordinary, sui
these belts are knotted around the
waist line; with high empire skirts
they are adjusted to the line at the

PLATED SKIRTS ARE PASSE.
Don't Try to Make Them Over, is Ad
vice of Expert.

The plated skirt is passe. The
proper thing is the many gored skirt,
gultless of plaits. Yet we all have
a plated skirt or two.
Shall! it be ripped, sponged, the
fullness taken out and the cores re-
cut into plain, unplaited cores, asks
Anne Rittenhouse in the Philadelphia
Ledger Then she says:
The earnest advice of anyone who
knows is against this process. 1t is
true that plain gored skirts are in first
style, and if a woman is ordering a
new suit she must be guided by this
fact, but this does not argue that the
plated skirt is hopelessly out of style.
1T is never a good plan to recut a
cloth skirt. When one has to deal
with cloth, it is hard to give it the
tailor finish and keep it in style after
it has been cut and pulled and ripped.
Unless it is too far out Of style
to be permissible, far better wear 1t
as it is If it is not wearable, Tar
better sell it or give it away than
lake the time and money to work on
what cannot be a good job

TALKS PLAINLY ABOUT

fact that I considered it good enough to
take a lease in. For all that, truth COM

Nothing in place had been found when

and the ground near the surface is cut
up with cash veins. 1t is possible that
some few mines will be made there, but
the real source of the ore that is scat

GAS FLOW CUT
IN VIRGIN WELL
Star and Crescent Company
Gets 1t at Depth of Nine
Hundred Feet.

H. H. Clark received letter from
DIR. L. E Benson at Virgin City yes
terday morning advising him that the
teams had finished hauling lumber for
the big well-drilling plant that is be-
ing contracted on the Utah-Arizona
line. southeast of Virgin, and that the
outfits had gone to st. George. From
there they were expected to pull out
for Lund and begin moving in the big
drilling rig that Mr.. Clark purchased
on his recent eastern trip, and which
has the reputation OF being the finest
rig ever sent west.
The same letter brought the infor-
nation that on Friday night big flow
of gas was encountered in the Star &
Crescent company's second well in Sec
ton 10, north of the Southern Utah
company's well on section 15 The
strike was made at a depth of 800 feet,
but there was nothing in the letter to
show when the company expected to
reach the oil-bearing sands.
Mr.. Clark feels that the striking OF
gas in that section of the field, which
is north and a little west of the orig
inal discoveries, will have a tendency
TO stimulate work at greater depths.
and he is beginning to suspect that
one of these bright mornings we shall
be hearing that an Oil gusher has been
tapped somewhere in that part of the
country.

MASON VALLEY ANNUAL
HELD IN THE EAST

Yesterday was the time set for the an
nual meeting of the Mason Valley Min
ing company at Augusta, Me-, and the
presumption is that it was formally
pulled off. Not long ago an exhaustive
report on the property was compiled by
LEV HUMPHREYS, the company's con-
sulting engineer, but il is not believed
that this report was submitted at the
annual meeting.
This report, it is claimed, shows the
property up in light never suspected
by even those who have felt all the time
as though they were posted. Maps and
assay sheets, half-tone pictures and
well-written descriptive matter are I'M
derstood to have been all woven into a
volume of evidence that speaks most
eloquently for the merits of the property
and the judgment displayed in opening
up the ground. In the absence of Mr..
HUMPHREYS, II IS impossible to give any
data from the report and, unless it had
been decided to submit at the Augusta
meeting. 1t is doubtful if the engi-
neer mentioned would have felt at lib
erty to give the news out at all 1t is
certain, though, that this report will
be made public sooner or later, and
when it is, the uninitiated will discover
the fact that great mine has been de-
veloped while they were sleeping.
