CANYON MILL STARTS
AT MANHATTAN

The work of reeonstructing the
Canyon mill of the Manhattan Mill
ing and Leasing company is fast
nearing completion, and the mill
will commence operations today or
tomorrow. The heavy snowstorm
of Thursday night made it impos-
sible to complete the installation of
electric power until today.
The mill will be kept busy at
first on ore from the Little Grey
claim, and contract for treating
large quantity of ore being extract
ed by L. L. Mushett in his lease on
the Earl claim has been entered
into, and the ore will be hauled to
the mill Immediately.
The company has been fortunate
in securing the services of George
Hunt, formerly of Los Angeles, as
superintendent of the mill. Mr..
Hunt is a thoroughly experienced
mill man and machinist and is con-
fident that the operation of the
mill will be highly satisfactory

WRESTED FROM
JAWS Of DEATH

To be actually caught in the jaws
Of death and then wrest ones self
from such a perilous position ere
the grim reaper had administered
the Knockout blow, is indeed
narrowing experience and one that
man should remember the ball
ance of his days. The man to have
such an experience, and who liter
ally had the warm saliva of the jaws
of death dripping upon him, so to
speak, was Paddy Shea, brother of
James Shea Of the Shea-Putman
, lease, on Union No. g.
Shea is alive today, but he owes
his existence on earth to a rope
an ordinary rope, attached to the
| halter of a horse. And it is due to
a fractions horse that he was placed
face to face with death, and it was
the same animal that hauled him
safely back to life.
Shea was enjoying the afternoon
4 of Thanksgiving day by riding about
on a broncho The animal, needing
the call of the wild, had tried to
emulate it's first days in captivity
and began bucking and cavorting

Main street. On one of it's bucking
stunts it drew perilously near the
collar of a 100-foot shaft. wild
jerk and its rider went over it's head
and into the shaft. But as Shea
fell he wildly grasped at the first
object available-the rope of the
halter-and held on. He fell some
feet into the hole and, holding onto
the rope, he hung suspended be-
tween life few feet above, and q
horrible death below. The horse
became frightened at the sudden
turn in events and started to run
down the hill. AS he drew away
from the shaft he drew Shea Out
and to the surface.
Shea's experience was one of the
most miraculous ever chronicled il
the history of the camp, and it is
safe to say that when he goes neal
a mine again it won't be aboard {

livery girl should take a pride in hel
possessions. Her room. for example
- should be always ready for inspection
her desk should be orderly, her mantel
attractive, with its pictures and vases
her bureau drawers in such order thai
there need never be any rummaglng for
a mislaid article. 1t is in such things
that a girls character is shown, and IT
rests with her to give what impression
she will to the casual visitor.
When she visits, too, she carries with
her a bit of the atmosphere of that room
of hers, and her hostess can quickly tell
from the degree of order in which the
guest chamber is kept just what the
bedroom ut home must look like. Let
her take care, then, 10 rise early enough
to leave her room in shipshape condi-
ton before she hastcns down TO the
breakfast table.
Even the very packing of the trunk
shows up certain traits of character, for
the naturally neat girl will have II case
for everything and everything In its case;
will have every collar boEed before she
leaves home, so that even If the actual
packing has been attended to by her maid
the articles in the trunk and tho cases in
which they are held will be characteristic
of the girl herself. Nor is it ever possible
to keep i'll order all of ones manifold
collars, belts, wells, scarfs and ribbons
unless each different kind of article has
its own specially designed case. and if
the trunk and the bureau drawers at
home are to look always attractive these
cases must be of the same kind Of chintz
or ribbon and each box covered with the
same design Of paper or cretonne.
Many girls prefer boxes for their various
wells, belts, handkerchicfs, &c, while
others maintain that soft silk eases are
the more convenient. Certainly soft
case is preferable IN packing, while pes
haps for the majority of small Articles
the accessories of the cUStumc-llat boxes
arc best. 1t is therefore a good plan to
have both sets, one for visiting, the other
for house use.
For gloves, handkcrchiefs and wells an
envelope shaped case Is most generally
the size and 81 ape differing, of
course, for each article, IA square case
about eight inches in size being good for
both handkerchiefs and net veils while
for gloves IL case about fourteer by four
is good. 1t is not necessary to go by any
exact measurements, however, and often
the width of the case is determined by
the breadth of n piece of ribbon which il
is desired to use for the purpose.
Stiff cases of covered cardboard the
side pieces held together by ribbon strings,
are also liked by many girls. A piece of
cardboard of the desired size is cut from

the wadding has been bastcd the rib

There should be. as well as the other
cases, bag for every shoe, as much to

though for patent leather slippers the bag
should he of flannel. There should be a
corset bag, too, in all we'll fitted out trunks.

inches in width, in length of course made
to fit the corset, the bag being drawn
in at the top with pretty strings. This

The so-called "Moyen Age" model of
the deep yoke skirt, which is fat about

r OWEL collecting is the initial step
in America toward the establishment
of that time houored custom of
Europe, the gradual accumulation OF
household linen for the daughter who is
approaching marriageable age. As eevry
piece OF dover chest linen must be dis
tinctly marked, the first question for the
towel collector to decide is whether to use
one. two or three small initials or an inch
square monogram as her marking scheme.
As the embroidery art is not readily
mastered, the tyro would best begin with
"a dozen natural colored all linen glass and
dish towels, which may be purchased al
ready hcmmed or by the yard, working
the distinguishing mark in one corner with
very dark red, blue or green embroidery

two yard long hand roller towels, which
usually are marked near the centre of
their joining seam.

Hints on Pumps.

MANY girls find the low cut shoes
and pumps difficult to keep on at
the heel, but since this style of boot
is fashiopable they persist in wearing
them on all occasions. A piece of waxed
tape, the narrowest width procurable, run
through the binding at the top of the
shoe and tied beneath the bow or rosette
in front, will help considerably to keep
the boot from pumping" up and down
at the heel. The same scheme may be
tried with satin evening slippers.
For suede pumps, black or white, bows
made Of the same leather are now more
fashionable than either felt ribbon pump
bows or fancy buckles.
In purchasing suede pumps it is better
to buy those with wooden heels, as the
leather heel rubs off SO quickly and thus
ruins the whole effect of the shoe. In
white shoes especially it is advisable not
to have the heather covered heels. which
become stained. so quickly with grass or
mud, and which stains it is often impos-
sible to eradicate.

blue aud pale green for occasional wear.
Colored under slips are no longer worn
with oven the most sheer or profusely
embroidered batste gowns, but bright
hued ribbon belts will prevent any mo-
notony in the all white. Round belts of
moirc ribbon boncd to be about three
inches wide, finished in back with one or
two fat rosettes instead of long sash
ends, arc moro in vogue this summer than
the wider girdles of year ago. Sashes
with long streamer ends are worn by
quite little girls but the ribbon belts held
in shape by one or two pieces of boning
are smart for older girls. When sash
ends are becoming they may, of course,
be worm but MS Il rule the plain round
belt is preferred.

" LTHOUGH August is the hottest
~ month of the year, it has been set
apart in this country for the height
of the summer season, when all outdoor
festivities are at their gayest and most
formal pitch. Naturally, the younger
members of society, the future debutantes
and social leaders of the coming decade,
folk by the demands of formal life of
the community in which they dwell, but
in every summer colony even the young
est madens move in certain well defined
little cliques, with their own special
dances and other forms of amusement,
and they, as well as their older sisters,
must be provided with correct, if simple,
midsummer outfits
While to n certain extent less costly
than summer trousseau of a grown up,
there is after all little difference between
the style and kind Of frock worn by a
school girl and that of her debutante
sister. She must have her tennis dress,
her dainty waists and we'll fitted separate
skirts, her smart afternoon gowns of
linen, lawn or organdie. and the pretty
party frocks, with collarless yoke and
half length sleeves. She must have also
at least one smart linen coat and skirt,
and similar suit in white serge or home
spun, while her hats, though of simple
design, are numerous. For evening. in
stead of decollet6 dinner or ball dress
a pretty frock, with Dutch neck aud ell
bow sleeves, is worn, a low gown being
inappropriate until the season, or possibly
the year before, she is to come out.
