general of the revolution, quite a
small boy, was visiting Independence
hall with his mother, when she point
ed to an oil portrait and said:

The boy took little notice Of what
she said at the time, apparently be-
ing more interested in the liberty bell
and other curious relics intthe hall.
But some weeks afterwards. when dis
tinguished guests were dining at his
fathers table, he broke an interval
of silence by asking: =
Mamma, what did you tell me In

A writer of fiction and we'll acquaint-

tell with more truth than poetry of
a certain isolated spot at the foot of
a prominent mountain peak not 80
miles distant from where the writer

from various points and there milled
with hand mortar and gold pan at
a profit until the practice was stop

on the part of the owners of the
ground. You may see the ground
from which the ore was taken. ]

dominating ore or the entire source

the Keystone, as the only one in the
district which has been worked for
the metal entirely. The mine is now

the increasing expansion of indus

is outweighed in the broader views of
market influences by indisputable
evidence of national expansion and
prosperity.

The Columbia mine in another

duced many dollars for its former

The Boss mine has been a good

for the fact that it is patented and
the owner dosen't need the money.
The same can be said of the Camp

has not arrived as. yet, however. all
though every one Interested seems

The enormous consumption OF
steel in the Variou constructive en-
terprises must surely be followed by
an enormous demand for copper but
with the surplus on hand and the
fact that production is so large there
is not the usual buying in anticipa-

an age of electrical expansion in

copper industry is facing a period OF
