HAS some nice
BUTTERFLIES
But IN HABITS THEY ARE UN-
LIKE THOSE OF GOLD

"A butterfly with spread of about
five inches flew into saloon yester-
day morning and remained on an ivy
plant all the afternoon. A prettier
specimen would be difficult to find.
The wings were of light brown with
steel grey spots and border. Over on
the malapai, white butterflies are
abundant, but a specimen such as
few into the resort named is exceed
ingly rare. The fly made directly for
the ivy vine and chung to it all dur
ing the afternoon. 1t becomes active
after nightfall, and the chances are
that this morning will see it winging
its fight to more pleasant surround
ings. "-Goldfield Tribune
That's nothing. Tonopah has a
lot of butterflies that can be seen any
day lowering around a millinery es-
tablishment or an ice cream soda
fountain, and occasionally they have
to be captured by their husbands and
escorted home when they become en-

HAS A vague
idea Of WORKINGS
IN A Mine
WAUKEGAN SUN PRINTS INTER-
ESTING ARTICLE ON THE
PIONEER LEASE.

Every one has an idea of what the
society editor will do with prize
fight story, and what the editorial
writer will do with a piece of social
scandal, but is it generally under
stood what the down east cub will do
with a good mining story? says the
Bullfrog Miner. The days of the In
dian and the bad man are past.
Somehow, we who were raised on
stories of their depredations and cru
elites, and whose whole supply of
facts sifted through the imagination
of similarly situated journalists,
doubt the accuracy of even those
classics. The following article was
written and edited by worthy man,
probably, but certainly not by man
who had ever seen good picture of
a mine. He did not know lode from
a load. 1t is furnished the Miner in
marked copy of the Waukegan
Daily Sun, of April IA. 1t refers to
JuS IIOuCcT ICdcO, anu 10 ONlOCnJly
furnished by a local stakeholder OF
that company. 1t is a long article
and though good, must only be sam
pied here:
The shaft of the mine has been
Strengthened and enlarged and 40.
horsepower hoist and a 40-foot gal.
lows frame have been installed sc
that now the wagons that carry the
ore to the railroad are dropped into
the mine by the hoist, filled at the
blasting point, hauled out on the
hoist again and started on their triI
with one handling of the ore at the
mine"
The tone of the eastern writer:
article has close resemblance to the
local paper that in describing thu
workings of a mine stated that g;
raise is being sunk" 1t would no
be bad idea if the two writers
would get together and brush up OIL
mining phrases, or at least becom,
familiar with the workings of
mine.
