Bell Lease Sold

known in brokerage circles at Colorado
Springs and other Colorado points.
Colonel Bell receives a moderate cash

company, the corporation taking over
the holding. The shaft on the lease is
down % feet, where is exposed a 6-foot
body of ore that break $47.5 so the ton.
Eight inches of the deposit breaks to a
high shipping average.
The Tarantula
A well defined body of milling ore is
being developed at the Tarantula estate
in the Queen Bethania section of the
camp. The point of operation is the
north erosseut from the s5-foot level,
where is exposed a ledge of out-of-or-
binary dimensions. With the hanging
wall yet to be disclosed the ore body is
showing a width of Is feet and is
breaking to an average of s25 gold the
ton. 1t is the intention of the com

of the present shaft and to then sink \

1t with a powerful hosting plant.
A Coalition Strike
Block No. 3 on the Happy Hooligan
claim of the Rawhide Coalition com
pany is showing two feet of ore having
a value of from $50 to 500 the ton.
The find was made at a depth of so feet,
since when the miners have sunk
through the ledge. At the 1O0-foot point
a station will be cut and a crpsscut be
run out to contact. The lease is neigh

Good Mill Grade
Twenty feet of milling ore, having
an average gold content of about $50

of the Rawhide Avenue Mining com
pany. The vein was first encountered
in the shaft at a depth of SO feet, dip

is the intention of the management to
sink to a depth of 100 feet and at that
level to crosscut to the deposit and send
out a drift along its strike. The char

In the south drift from the 2O0-foot

the Queen the vein matter is breaking
to an average of $25 the ton the full

constant increase in gold contents as
the drive is advanced, and from the

Mint Company in High Grade
Two and one-half feet of ore carrying
values in gold and silver ranging from

pure quartz which are well impregnated
with silver bromides. The precious
metal contents are about evenly divided
between gold and silver. The entire

OLD BEAMS FOR ORGAN PIPES.

"organ pipes" says a, we'll known
builder of this city, "are made Of the
best white pine and the older and
better seasoned the wood the better
the quality of tone given out by the
pipe.
"In Germany and England when
an old public building, such as
church, town hall or large structure
of any kind, is to be taken down
there Is always an organ builder
haunting the place to find out of
what wood the ROOF and floor beams
are made and IL he discovers that
they are of white pine he is ready
to pay almost any reasonable price
for them, provided, of course, they
are in good condition, without knots
or nail holes. He knows that many
of these churches and other build
ings were erected 400 or 500 years
ago and that through forty or fifty
decades the wood has been slowly
drying and hardening until 1t has
reached condition which from the
oISdu DuilutI punt VI view Is per-
fection. Then he takes the old
beams home to his factory, cover
ing them in transit with tarpaulins,
cuts them into boards of the desir-
ed size and makes his pipes with
perfect confidence that the organ
will be a musical success.
Most of the old organs of Europe,
that is organs built from 100 to 300
years ago, have q mellowness of tone
that distinguishes them from mod
ern instruments, and although the
skill of the toner is now lessening
the difference between new pipes and
those that have been seasoned by
long use, there is still a difference
between the old organs and the new,
just as there is between viollns made
now and those Cremona instruments
that have mellowed with time
American organ builders spend
no time looking for old beams, but
they do keep their lumber seasoning
and for several years before they use

make up the difference. st Louis

The American Evolution Of Sum-
mer Clothes.

The evolution of summer gar
ments toward comfort is hardly re-
allied. Only twenty years ago men
did not care to lay aside their waist
coats. In the heat of midsummer It
was customary to wear starched
shirts and waistcoats and long coats
and boots. 1t took the laced or but
toned shoe a long time 10 displace
the boot which fitted the foot as a
glove.
Now the boot is practically extinct.
And, twenty years ago, 1t was re-
garded as improper not to wear a
starched white shirt. Men still
young can remember when French
flannel negligee shirts made an in
road in favor of sensible and com
Portable summer attire. From these
light flannel shirts have developed
the customary negligee shirt of to-
day and the belt and the abandon
ment OF the waistcoat in the season
Of heat.
The shirt waist marks a coinci-
tunes. And these evolutions are
vltally important, They have much
to do with the reasonableness Of the
public mind during the days OF eX-
teme heat The American public at
last Is costumed in summer with
chief regard for comfort.
And comfort does not mean the
destruction of the artistic and OF the
proper thing in clothing, by any
means. On the contrary, the new
ideal of comfort and convenient
tends toward truly graceful lines.
It is reasonable to believe that
time will produce still better ideas
aud ideals Of dress both Tor men
and women, and that in the next de-
cade the proper and iaahionable
summer garments will ut once offer
increased ease and coolness and APP

Finding the Good Points.

Have you a friend that fails you?
One who Is dependable yet not de-
pendable, Inconsistent as that re-
mark Is? In other words, Is there
someone whom you like, whose
friendship you crave, who Is not
aware of it or who as yet Is not
pricing your offer OF friendship? We
all meet such persons. We may
finally give up the pursuit, yet
something makes us look for the
little grain of gold we feel is in the
persons makeup, Why we crave
The friendship Of such persons is not
known, but II is true that human
nature has a way OF demanding what
1t cannot have. There are men in
different 10 their wives and those
very women keep continually trying
to find the little bit of gold in their
disposition; sweethearts remain true
under unfavorable circumstances and
friends are sought for that unspeak-
able something that Is almring, Then
comes the friend who wants to be
genuine, yet always falling. The
golden side of his nature is like dull
steel but the true friend will mine
for IL even though there be but a
spark OF gold in a ton of dross. For
tunately for all, the gold in human
nature remains gold, though often
II is mistaken for something else.
We usually find what we are looking
Tor in our friends, the good or bad,
for that is the makeup OF our friends
and just what We are to them.

Animal History.

There are many points Of likeness
between q world view of animal his
tory and of human history. During
the long ages preceding our own the
continents for certain periods were like
vast islands entirely isolated from
neighboring continents by the seas
This was the condition Of Africa In the
period unearthed by recent explora'
tions. These longer or shorter tsola
lions explain the marvellous diversity
of mammalian life, because each grant
land mass became separate breeding
place under different conditions, and
whenever the land rose from the
sea long enough to form connecting
bridges, such as those across the Medi'
terranean or along the Arctic seas OF
across the isthmus Of Panama, the ami
mails gradually extended their ranges
from continent to continent exactly
after the manner Of the prehistoric and
historic races Of men. Thus were ini'
tiated vast interchanges, struggles and
competitions which have worked quite
as profound influence upon the past
and present history Of animal life as
the interchanges Of human races have
worked upon the history OF man.

Sarasota, Fla. Dec. 20, '07.
Editor of Highland Recorder:
will write a short letter and
let you know what we are doing
for pastime. When we arrived here
we were in good health but soon
after our arrival Mrs M. K. F. and
myself took violent cold, some
thing like grip. We were confined
to the house, but have recovered
almost entirely.
We we're invited by Judge Chap
lin to take dinner with him at
Hotel Bay View, which we accept
ed, and we had served as a-fne din
per, fine venison, fine pork ard
many good things. After dinner
was sevred we walked around the
city for a short time and returned
to our place of abode, and about
$50 o'clock Judge Chaplin knock
ed at the door. He came to invite
US over to Christmas tree festival.
We accepted the invitation, went
over and had very enjoyable even
ing, and | will say here that Judge
Chaplin and family are as clever
and sociable as ever was met with.
On Wednesday, Christmas day, we
went to Hotel Desota and took our
Christmas dinner, Mr. Stockman,
proprietor, where we had a feast of
good things. | never set to a finer
table in any Of the Northern cities.
We had turkey and fish and vegeta-
bles, most elegantly prepared, un.
der the supervision Of lady who
knows how to prepare fine meal.
We partook freely with many 9th

ed themselves in circular group
and conversed most pleasantly,
The men also grouped and discuss.
