WORLDS MINING EXHIBIT.

International Exposition to Re Held In
New York In May ane June.
Under the management Of a mining
exposition company which was incor-
porated little more than a year ago
there will be held In Madison Square
Garden, New York, from May Is to
June 30 the first exhibition Of practi-
cal mining methods and Of the prod
ucts Of mines in all parts Of the world
ever held in New York.
This international mining exposition
Is designed as an educational measure.
The officers and those interested In the
exposition company feel that the min
ing business suffers from the lack of
knowledge which the general public
has Of II, and they believe that this
and other exhibitions will eliminate
certain popular but false ideas.
The exposition has been divided into
seven different departments. The first
Is that Of mining machinery and the
second that of minerals from the Unit
ed States and foreign governments.
Then there will be an exhibition of
mining camps, which will illustrate the
different methods of mining, including
miners drilling contest. 1t is hoped
that one mining company will install
mine in full operation. There are also
to be on exhibition deposits Of various
kinds of metals, all sorts of precious
stones, mineral jewelry and lapidary
work.
One exhibit will be that of the min
eral resources of the United States.

They shook hands all around.

Trendoa said later in retailing it to
the mess. A pause followed.
Wont you step in. gentlemen? said
barrow. May l offer you the max
ings Of a cigarette?"
Wouldn't you be robbing yourself?'
inquired the captain, with twinkle.
"Oh, you found the diary, then?''
said Darrov easily. Rather silly of
me to complain so. But really in con-
ditions like these tobacco becomes a
serious problem"
$50 one might imagine" said Tren-
don drily. He looked closely at Oar
row. The mans eyes were light and
dancing. From the nostrils two livid
lines ran diagonally. Such lines one
might make with a hard blue pencil
pressed strongly into the flesh. The
surgeon moved little nearer.
Can you give me any news Of my
friend Thrackles?" asked Darrow light
ly. "Or the esteemed Pull? Or the
scholarly and urbane Robinson Of
Ethiopian extraction"

"Ah, pity!' said the other. He

He began to laugh, quite to himself.
1t was not a pleasant laugh to hear.
Trendon caught and shook him by the
shoulder.
Drop it, he said
barrow seemed not to hear him.
Dead. All deadv' he repeated. "And
I've outlasted 'em! I've outlasted 'em!"
And his mirth broke forth in strange
ly shocking spasm.
Trendon lifted a hand and struck
him so powerfully between the Shout
der blades that he all but plunged for
ward on his face.
"Quit it, he ordered again. SECT

barrow turned and gripped him.
The surgeon WINGED with the pain of
the grasp. Il can't" gasped the ma
room, between paroxysms. I've been
living in hell-a black, shaking, shiv-
ering hell, for God knows how long!
What do you know? Have you ever
been buried alive?" And again the
agony of laughter shook him.
This, then" muttered the doctor,
and the hypodermic needle shot home.
During the return barrow lay like
a log in the bottom of the gig. The
opiate had done its work. Conscious
ness was mercifully dead within him.
