Changed Farm Life.

The dull silence that hung over that
New England dinner table has been
lifted of late. 1t is gone like the
dew in the sunlight of the new social
influences. The isolation of the farm
was the chilling cause that drove men
into the cities. Now, by telephone and
free mail delivery, all the warm
world currents are being carried to
the country and are vitalizing the ru-
raj community into life that is rich
and abundant in the variety of it's in.
terests. A real heart hunger has
been answered. Over hill and down
dale flashes the impulse that electri-
fies existence with the thrill of human
life touching other human life.-De-

IA Miss Leslie had withdrawn
into the baobab and Blake had gone off
down the cleft for more salt. He did not
return until after the others were
asleep. Miss Leslie had gone without
her supper, or had eaten some of the
food stored within the tree.
When, late the next morning, she
finally left her seclusion Blake was no
where in sight. Ignoring Winthrope S
Attempts to start conversation, she
0urried through her breakfast, and
having gathered a supply Of food and
water, went to spend the day on the
headland.
Evening forced her to return to the
cleft. She had emptied the water
flask by noon, and was thirsty. Win
thrope was doing beneath his can
opy, which Blake had moved some
yards down towards the barricade
Blake was cooking supper
He did not look up, and met her at
tempt at pleasant greeting with an
inarticulate grunt. When she turned
to enter the baobab, she found the
opening Uttered with bamboos and
green creepers and pieces of large
branches with charred ends. On either
side, midway through the entrance, a
vertical row of holes had been sunk
through the bark of the tree into the
soft wood.
What is this?' she asked. "Are
you planning a porch?"
Maybe" he replied.
A"But why should you make the holes
so far in? / know so little about these
matters, but / should have fancied the
holes would come on the front of the
tree"
You'll see in a day or two"
How did you make the holes? They
look black, as though"
Burnt 'em, of course-hot stones
THAT was so clever of you!"
He made no response.

Winthrope's presence would have been
a relief to the girl; yet she could not

throughout the meal sullen and stolid
and carefully avoided meeting hel

was upon them. Yet she fingered fol
a last attempt.
= Goodnight, friend!" she whispered
He sprang up as though she had

the darkness.

together heap of rubbish. His hands
were scratched and bleeding. To the
girls surprise, he met her with a
cheerful grin and clear, direct glance.
Look here" he called.
She stepped around the baobab and
stood staring. The entrance, from the
ground to the height of II feet, was
walled up with a mass of thorny
branches, interviewer with yet thorn

"How's that for a front door," he
demanded.

"But it's so big. could never

"A child could. Look" He grasped
projecting handle near the bottom of
the thorny mass. The lower half of
the door swung up and outward, the
upper half in and downward. See,
it's balanced on a crossbar in the
middle. Come on in"
She walked after him in under the
now horizontal door He gave the in
ner end light upward thrust, and the
door swung back in its vertical circle
until 1t again stood upright in the
opening. From the inside the girl
could see the strong framework to

1t WAS reported at this meeting that
the property IN American Fork was very
close TO the result period. The manage
ment has done Il great deal of telling
work. The property was first developed
by means OF an incline, which was sunk
300 feet. There ore was developed, sew
eral cars were shipped to market which
brought about $500 per ton in silver
and lead. But water began interfering
with the work, and long tunnel was
planned.
This tunnel was driven in a distance
OF 500 feet, and a raise was started 10

This raise has progressed a distance of
100 feet. and not over twenty feet now
separate the two workings. With these
connections completed. the management
will be in position TO extract ores for
Shipment. and a liberal amount of ship
ping ore can be expected during the
summer months. The company expects
that it will be at least three weeks yet

l.. A. Friedman Calls 1t the Best
Looking Showing He
Ever Saw.

of some of the richest silver and gold
ore ever seen in Salt Lake City, l.. a.
Friedman arrived in this city Wednes-
day morning from the Seven Troughs
district. The samples came from the
Seven Troughs Florence lease on the
estate of the Seven Troughs Mining
company, which lease Mr.. Friedman un-
rcscrvedly terms the richest PROPOSE
tion he has ever seen in any camp,
1.-THE rich vein was found, as you
know, on, the 20O.foot lcvcl,' said
Mr., Friedman TO The Tribune. ''lt is
running parallel to the drift which was
driven some time ago over 200 feet
IN length, and from which some $4,000
worth OF gold orc was taken. \ cross
cut sent twenty feet 10 the west of this
old drift broke into this new ore, and
when tapped 1T was eight feet in width,
"Thc management then went 100 feet
farther down in this old drift, and a
second crosscut was sent west into this
same new vein. This would tend to
demonstrate the existence of at least
100 feet of the ore along the strike.
But from these two croSscuts, drifts
were started toward each other; one has
penetrated the ore for 20 feet, the sec.
ond for 30 feet, In this entire dis
tancc there is an average of eight feet
Of ore, the values in gold and silver
ranging III the extremes from $25 TO
$4,000 per ton. In two places where
there is eight feet of ore, there is only
one wall in sight
"Now all these faces are in ore, the
length of the body is an unknown uuan-
tity yet, and il certainly looks as if it
will make even stronger with depth.
We are crosscuttIng for the same ore

weeks away from the objective point
I feel certain that we will find the ore
at that depth. and is we do, this will
