 Many banks, especially those in cities. have their vaults protected by an elaborate system of concealed wires connected to a central office not so far away. ss that the least tam perlu= with the combination lock O: any attack upon the door or walls will give the alarm at the central of. fee. where men are waiting day and night to run to the rescue, The exact method and devices that are used are kept rather secret for fear the bur glars themselves might learn too much about them. but lt may be explained that one part of the apparatus iT au extremely sensitive relay located at the central office. This delicate in strument closes a local circuit which sounds the alarm the moment there is the slightest disturbance of the hid. den wires at and near the vault so that a gang. of burglars could hardly get to work with their drills and their nitroglyccrin before the officers of the law would be upon them
 In addition to protecting vaults ana safes from the direct attacks of rob bers. electricity affords another safe guard by furnishing light which floods the premises with its searching beams Indeed. many banks, stores and ware. houses rely mainly upon the electric light. without which the thIckest walls and the strongest and most compll. cated locks would be useless, They turn it cn at night and leave theLr window shutters wide open, so th9r the interior may be in full view ot the policeman or watchman passing the windows all night This makes 1t practically impossible for l0wbreakcrs to work unseen.
 To protect the money windows Of banks the teller behind the window has a concealed push button at hand oftentimes placed under the counter where he can touch it unobserved If any one tries to steal any money, the teller can call an officer instantly fin this way.

 We can only say that his oratIon on the Battle of Gettysburg will stand the test of time with the sermon Of the Mount; that his anu.slayery argu- ments reused the conscience of a nation. yet cooled the fires of sec. tional strife; that his public utter ances on statesmanship are today classics on the science Of govern ment; that as man, in our opinion, he is greatest. genlest, noblest, san est and most loyable character since the days when Christ walked among the children of men,
 The good men do lives after them The Civil War is ended. No longer do We enslave our fellow beings. The south is as patriotic as the north But in countless homes throughout this broad land, in little hamlets among the Swiss mountains. in the cottages of the peasants of France, even in Germany and England. there hang pictures of a gaut, bearded man with rugged lines of strength and genueuess, a man whose cmiling eyes seem to illuminate his whole countenance, so that as you look upon him you think his face of beauty-for the actual homliness is lost in the pure character that is so apparent. And when We look upon the face of this man We remember the story of his successful struggle from poverty to power, we recall his open hearted humanity, his self abne, gation and charity, his meeSness and courage, his cheerful laugh and to every man. woman and child his deeds should act as a spur to higher things, to better conduct and brighter ideals; for when all is said and done, our greatest debt to Abraham Lincoln is for the example Of his blameless life.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

One hundred years ago today in a tiny cabin amid the Kentucky wilder ness was born Abraham Lincoln. his father was an untutored woods man; his mother, Nancy Hanks, a plain woman of the people, yet a woman not devoid of the gentler feminine arts. for she was a sweet singer. could play the organ, and read assiduously what books chance threw in her way. The son of these simple people was destined to become the greatest man of his day; perhaps the greatest man of recorded history, if We take into consideration nobleness of character. high undimmed ideals. and altruisuc motives. As the de- cades pass one by one and future pee ples attain the proper perspective Lincoln will loom even larger than he does today
 It is hard to account for genius. Nothing in the character of Lincoln's parents gave promise for the splendid genius that found Gruitiou in their son. Yet it must be remembered that before Liucolu's birth his mother was a lonely woman. isolated from her sex amid a great forest, There was her anxious spirit influenced by the moods of nature, the dark sombel. ness of the forest. the wild melodies of the winds that sighed among the trees, the glory of the sunrise. the lingering beauty of the fading day. Her woman's nature must have dwelt much these things and so. by the essential law of heredity. they were imbued into the forming soul of her unborn son. By no other reasoning can We account for this great proph- etic man. part mystic, part poet; yet always sane and level headed, and gifted with a sense \or humor and Nudliness that placed him upon a plane of sympathy with every being, however humble.
 Now and then in different epochs human meteor flashes across the ken of history, wrecNug dynasties, win ming crowns, changing the map Of the world, or leading couquering armies to the ends of the earth Such men were Phillip. Alexander. Caesar, Napoleon.
 abraham Lincoln was not one of these. His was a greater work. He preserved a nation; he kept unehaug, ed the map of America; his only sub jects were the liberated blacks, bound Co him by ties Of gratitude and thank fitness. His gentle nature was pained more by bloody victory than Napoleon could have been by dis. astrous defeat. The sufterings of his soldiers caused him to shed tears.
 To Lincoln was given the task of guiding the nation through the period of its bitterest strife. That our na. ton is today undivided attests how well he did his work When reverse aIter reverse was registered against the Union arms; when his own cab inc. counsened submission; when secession was rife in the national capital: when Wall street financters brought every adverse force to bear through the most mercenary of mo tlyes; when it seemed that England would intervene;-through that per tod of darkness and dispair this great simple man held a steadfast hand on the helm of the ship of state. He knew diseouragement-but not defeat.
 Yet always his character consisted of sweetness and light" never was he O busy not to spare the time Co comfort some sorrowing mother; his greatest joy was to sign the death re

Preliminary work has been com.

lease which was recently secured by
Thos. A. Lister Of Los Angeles. j. 4.
Phoenix is in charge of the operations,

Water which has accumulated in the

during an idleness of several weeks, is
now Icing hoisted preparatory TO re-
suming operations, which will be the
sinking of the shaft at least 100 feet
below its present depth of 600 feet. Inc
proposition is financed by Eastern men
who are prominent in the steel industry
and there is practically no limit to ths
development they will do in order Il
find the ore they believe they will.

richment for hundreds of feet.
The fourth or 330-foot level has been
driven south $50 feet, with good show
ing of mill ore ranging in value from
500 to $50 per ton. The best part of the
ore zone, as demonstrated on the level
above, has not yet been reached. The
north drift has been advanced 300 feet
and is approaching the proven ore zone
in that direction.
1t is quite probable that all develop
ment of Red Top territory below the
fourth level will be conducted through
laterals from the Clermont shaft, the
first of which is now being driven at the
rate of six feet day and has progress
ed 365 feet from the shaft. Wines
will be put down on the ore shoots from
the fourth level of the Red Top and
they will be met by upraises from the
lateral now being sent out on the GOO
level of the Clermont shaft.
The Red Top is making great show
ing of ore over an immense expanse OF
development, and while the average
value is not equal to the Mohawk and
Combination, it can certainly go some
in the way of production whenever il
is called upon to stretch itself little

of the vein.
In the old Higginson lease workings
a great showing is being made. Where
the leasers stopped from two to five feet
of ore and believed that they had tax
en- the cream of the deposit, slopes are
now being raised across width of
twenty or twenty-five feet that carries
from $50 to $75 per ton for the entire
break as far as has been developed at
this point. Portions of the ore are low
er grade than that average, but there
are streaks of much higher grade ma.
terial equal to what the leasers extract
ed and that hold the general average up
to a nice figure. This ground is being
square -set' in the work of stopping,
and development is showing the great
possibilities of this territory for high
grade milling ore in immense quantities.
A new series of Slopes is being opened
on the second level, north of the Red
Top shaft, from when big production
will be made. Between the second and
third levels along this part of the mine
workings the ore has been blocked out
with numerous upraises from the third
