the two old boys had their last boy

When the battle was over, Uncle
Joe's shirt collar was minus a button

expectorating mouthfuls of sand and
grass that had been forced into 1t by
the irate william. For Uncle Billy
himself, he had a scratched face from
which the blood oozed in little sweat
like drops. But for once In his life he
had whipped his "pardner," made him

Then-they both agreed that it was
all In fun.
Billy, amt you afeerd your pap'n

Uncle Billy responded with feeble,
mirthless laugh, and then his old face
took on look of infinite yearning.
Out Of the gathering shadows arose
the old log farmhouse with its roof
of clapboards. Leaning upon the
''paling" front gate was his father

life, five and sixty years ago.
He saw himself a barefoot boy, in
homespun trousers, coming up the
woods path that led from the fishing
hole He could hear the swish of the
beech sprout welded by his father,
could feel again the sharp pain of its
strokes. He heard his mother, who
was straining the milk at the spring
house door say:
Thomas, don't be too hard on the
boy. Like enough that Joe Graham
coaxed him to-

as the scene faded, and he slowly an

Uncle Joe made a clumsy, rheumatic

There is no class of ore produc-

brighter today than for some time
The Salt Lake Telegram brings

Milling Process
Tho Carbonate Chronicle

M matter what stage Of develoI
ment OF her mineral resource.
Leadville may reach, mining mer
are bound to give more and more
attention to the various processes
for dressing ores, for separating
and for concentration. There was
a time in the history of the district
not 50 many years ago when prac.
ticalIy the entire tonnage was crude
ore and was shipped to the smeller
Since the advent of zinc as factor
in the local situation this has been
largely chan ged. The mining mar
with n good zine proposition is an
xious t. secure n pr'c-ss that will
yi,id the greatest return for the
minimum of cost.
The whole snbject of ore treat
ment is one worthy OF the most
careful consideration. TIE future
Of the camp very largely depends
on it. In this connection the
Mining World says:
"When efficiency in the process

suited from this cause.
"rhere is now. ho owever, little ex
cuse for making any colossal error
in the selection of n treatment
plant. There are numerous repnt.
able testing works in various parts
of the country, where ore can be
sent and tested on a commercial
scale 10y different processes under
the direction of competent, disin.
terested men, whose interest is not
to boost some particular device or
process, but to determine which
machine or process is best adapted
to the particular ore.
Makers of mining machinery
usually maintain testing plants for
the demonstration of their own de-
vices. where prospective customers
eau test their own ore under the
supervision of their own engineers
or representatives The compari :
sons that can thus be made leave
little opportunity for serious error.
The principal prscsution necessary
is to select reputable testing works
or representatives, to make the
tests"
While such advice as this may
seem superfious and in the line oi

weight So far as Leadvilie is con

result Of careful study of the con-
