II OW many otherwise sensible and
r. charming women insist on
/ clinging to some heirloom
brooch or necklace, which in
variably dishgures the toilet?
These things always have a history
and were worn by some relative, now
dead, OF else presented to the weareT
who feels somehow that she must not
slight the gift.
The feeling is not an ignoble one, for
81 mingles much Of loyalty with its
folly. And sometimes there IS genuine
sentiment and sadness for the one who
is gone evidenced in the wearing Of
some extremely ugly trinket that can
only waken a smile OF amused wonder.
Useless Truck
In Desks and Closets.
In the same manner. some Of US go
on for years cluttering up our homes
desks. closets, and trunks with useless
truck. nearly always unsighJly and
carrying accommodations of dust, decided
" unhealthful AID unclean-
The old-fashionsd attic used TO be the
chosen place to which such things were
consigned when sentiment forbade their
being thrown out. Even then they were
a.
out of the way OF every day life.
But in the modern home, with its lack
Of room, they crowd up boxes, drawers
and shelves, from which they are rarely
even lifted, using up space that could
be iutelligently disposed Of, serving as
germ collectors and attracting mice ana
insects in Drofus-on.
Hardly one home in a dozen but could
be gone over from end TO end and rid
Of bushels Of this sort of waste, never
felTf IN r7e
thrust into odd spaces for which II was
never intended.
Trunks Filled
With Newspaper Clippings.
There are persons who have trunks Of
newspaper clippings and marked copies
OF publications, which they intend TO
make sorapbooks OF some day, but
which. in the meantime, cumber up
each crowded corner.
Then there is the broken china. old
unused lamp bases, cooking vessels that
are not required, and even soiled cush-
ions and draperies; clothing that has
lost all its freshness and form. ut only
for the rag bag, looked at from the or
dinarily intelligent point or view.
Take photographs, Tor instance, which
gather bv the hundred; group pictures
often dating back 10 school days, heaps
upon heaps that Ill bowls and boxes
and that viii ultimately be thrown out
by some one.
Pictures Recall
Past Pleasant Memories.
How much better If the one to whom
they mean pleasant memory should
decently destroy or burn them, saving
them from a less dignified fate.
Sometimes the CONFUSION of a NOV
ing TO a new home brings them all to
light and the instinct wakes to get rid
OF them, but more often they are lifted
tenderly into some new receptacle with
their dust microbes thick upon them

BELMONT.

The work of repairing the old Bel
mont shaft has been completed and
now preparations are under way to
bail out the water, there being con-
siderable in the bottom of the shaft.
Whether this is caused by the seep~
age or is from a water flow, is not
known as this shaft has not been
worked for number of years. When
the workings are free from water it
is thought that churn drill will be
installed and a hole sunk to the
1000-foot level where drift has
been run out from the Desert Queen
shaft After ventilation is afforded
the work of raising from this lower
point will be started.
The stope on the South vein of
the 900-foot level of the Desert
Queen shaft continues to produce the
regular amount of shipping ore from
the vein that averages about two feet
in width

foot of good milling ore. Raise No

which made the connection with the
winze from the old workings last
week has been continued to the east
and the face shows eighteen inches
of good ore. The timbering in the
winze has been repaired and lad
derway installed The south cross
cut from the Martha vein was ex.
tended seventeen feet; with numer-
GUS stringers and spots of good ore
being encountered in the last ten feet.
An east drift has been started from
this crosscut, the face now exposing
a stringer ten inches in width of high
grade ore.
615-foot level-The west crosscut
from the main crosscut south of the
shaft, was extended thirty-siX feet
and the connection with the winze
from the Martha vein sunk from the
515-foot level, will be made during
the coming week. A stope drift
about twenty feet above the level is
being sent out on the No. 2 Midway
vein, the face showing about twelve
to eighteen inches of milling ore. No
change is reported in the slopes on
the Macdonald vein below the level
or in the A B K and Martha slopes
above the level.
765-foot level-The main north
crosscut was extended sixteen feet
and is now out distance of 1854
feet from the shaft. The gas from
the rock has caused considerable
of trouble, although the air pipes
have been laid clear to the face OF
the crosscut.

the suspension of sinking for few
days.
The 150-horsepower motor for
merly in operation at the Mizpah
hoist was replaced last Sunday with
a new one of 800 horsepower. The
old motor will be repaired and in
stalled at the Silver Top hoist.
Through the workings of the Miz-
pah, Silver Top and Red Plume,
there has been very little change
with the exception of several work
ing faces that have been discontinued
on account of the lack of the air
pressure capacity. In the Silver Top,
on the 540-foot level, the south cross
cut on the west side cut a stringer
about two feet in width and carrying
good values. A drift has been start
ed on this vein to the west.
The drift west on a milling ore
quartz stringer in the 60O-foot work
ings of the Red Plume, and at a
point 200 feet south of the Red
Plume shaft, is being pushed forward
and will follow the stringer with the
hopes of opening up a larger ore
body. This is suspected to be con-
tinuation of the Mizpah vein to the
west.
The mill report for the week shows
that an average of ninety-six stamps
were dropping during that time and
crushed 1926 tons of ore with an
average value of $40 to the ton
Twenty-seven tons of concentrates
were shipped with a value of $425
per ton. The extraction amounted tc
sixty-four bars of bullion with g
value per bar of $3.50, or a tota,
value of $54, 400. The recovery aver
aged 80 per cent. The ore shipped
to the mill for the week total 34OC
tons.
