Withstand the varying influences of eli
matte conditions.
The possibility of concrete blocks is not
yet fully determined. There is no doubt
but what it is a very desirable building
material. IL properly made and used, but
this point is clear, a so-called rock face
block is too suggestive Of imitation to be
considered at all for an artistic home. A
perfectly plain block or a block with light
grooves in it in imitation Of tooth chisel
stone work looks very well in some places,
but the rock face block or panelled block
should not be used where the best appear
ance is at all considered. This is no re-
Election upon the concrete block industry,
but simply a warning that there is a limit
to the use of concrete blocks, and 1t will
be best to keep their use within their
limitations in order to keep them on the
market as a permanently used building
material and save undue criticism.
There is nothing that will initiate cor
rectly native stone work, Try as hard as
we please, we cannot make a perfect imi-
tation of anything in nature, whether 1t be
a leaf or a stone. Cut glass
is a high art, but the most adept
glass cutter has never been able to per-
fectly initiate a diamond. Materials
should be used where they best apply in
a manner that will set off their good
qualities and not expose their shortcom-
ings, II satisfactory results are TO be OBJ
tanned, Siding and shingles as building
materials are so well known that little
! common is necessary. There are, how
ever, new ways for applying them being
thought Of each building season. One Of
the common objections to a shingled wall
is the monotonous appearance caused by
the regular rows Of shingles being placed
four and one-half or five inches to the
weather. A pleasing variation to this is to
double the shingles on the walls on every
second or third row. 1t relieves the mon
otony and gives a pleasing appearances thai
has to be seen to be appreciated. The only
possible objection to It is that 1t requires
more shingles. Another pleasing variation
not requiring more shingles, it to place
them in alternate rows Of two inches and
eight inches. 1t can be seen that the sum
Of two rows being ten inches, the same
as II they were placed five inehs. no extra
shingles are required. Narrow siding

days than six-inch siding placed four and
one-half inches TO the weather, which used
TO be SO popular. A variation In siding Il
to use alternate rows OF narrow and wide
siding obtaining somewhat the same effect
as placing the shingles in this manner
Another effect in siding which is vera
popular In the summer homes OF the ives
is to use wide boards, rough on the put
side and stained. These boards are usually

is used they should be featured Town with
screws instead of nails.
To go back to cement walls. There are
several ways in which the finish coat can
be applied. One is what is called a carpet
float or almost smooth finish. Another Is
a pebble dash made by throwing small
pebbles and gravel onto the fresh cement
wall where 1t adheres. The common way
Of treating a cement wall is what is known
as a dash or overcast, made by mixing
cement and sand or cement and finely
crushed rock and dashing 1t on the wall.
Some masons make this mixture in a pail
with plenty of water and use a bunch of
switches with which to spatter it. More
rugged effects are obtained, however, by
using a small trewel with a little less
water in the mixture and throwing 1t with
a swinging movement against the wall.
1t takes a man who uses his head as we'll
as his hands to do this class Of work in the
best manner. If the dash is not evenly
distributed, leaving great mounds Of ce-
ment in one place and a bare wall in an
other, the effect is very poor. When prop
erly applied, especially when some coloring
pigmant is placed in the mortar, the effect
is very pleasing and will, no doubt, be
permanently pOpulds
Just a word in conclusion about roofs.
Roofs are of tile, slate, shingles or COM
position roofing. The list is made according
to both durability and price. For a fine
home a tile roof is without a doubt the
most appropriate. provided that the ex-
terror walls of the home are Of masonry.
To place a tile roof on a frame house never
looks well. A slate roof makes a very
satisfactory roofing material provided tina
the right kind and thickness is obtained,
for slate when used in a cold climate
crackes easily under the influences of frost
and slides off. The use of shingles as a
roofing material is too well known to re-
quire a description further than to say
that it is extensively used and for a mod
crate sized home, the most practical roof
ing material. 1t is best to dip the shingles
instead of brushing them. If shingles are
dipped there full length in coal tar oil,
a very penetrating OIL, used to a large
extent as a protective on posts that go
into the ground, they become an almost
permanent roofing material. the oil giving
the shingles a pleasing dark-brown color.
There are a great many kinds of roofing
composition made of a mixture of tar and
felt, asbestos and tar, burlap and tar and
fine sand. etc. They are easily applied and
each will last many years. When it comes
TO looks they are not to be considered for
an artistic home with the possible excep-
ton of an asbestos slate that is generally
coming into general favor.

When Omaha people first began to look
to the hills and bluffs that surround the
city on every side. for their residences,
s%coffers said It was only a fad and would
not last.
Just wait" they said to the pioneers in
the simple life Of the suburbs, you will
soon find what it means to come two or
three or five miles to business every morn

The announcement that next spring a
new tract will be opened Just this side Of
Happy Hollow club to be sold to people Of
means who want TO go out beyond the eon'
fines OF the aristooratic West Farnam dis
trict, is one of several evidences that the
movement toward the edge Of the city was
not a fad, but a movement that would last.
Real estate men point to several recent
Developments in Omaha as the cause for
this outward exodus. Ten or fifteen years
ago when street car service was not as
good as Il is now It behooved a busy man
to keep his habitation as close to his place
Of busines as possible. The conviction grew
that the only desirable residence property
was that close in and near the best street
car lines. This feeling became 50 strong
that it took several years to get it out of
peoples minds even after the street cars
began running with regularity and close
together. New business men are beginning
to realize that a mile or two OF additional
distance from town means only an addi-
tional ten minutes on the car and hat this

One OF the important factors in inducing
people to move out Is the boulevard. These

DOUBLE CAPACITY or
 NORTH STAR PLANT

YUMA, March Machinery is TOW en route to double the milling ca paeity of the North Star Mining Com pany. Under the able supervision of A. B. Rogers, the mine has been de- veloped so rapidly that enough ore is blocked and in sight to warrant dou- bling the plant, which now crushes 70 tons a day.
 The machinery is expected to reach Dome this week and it will be hauled to the mine by Sanguinetti's freight teams immediately.
 The North Star has been mine ever since Felix Mayhew made his rec cord breaking sale of the prospect for S35O,e0O. The rock in the fifty foot role was more than pay ore, and it has grown richer with depth. This is also the history of the King of Arizo- na mine and the Amavisea. The Two
 
 made by the Alvarado boys, is follow ing this rule, and with these mines all producing it is the general opinion that before fall there will be a great rush to the grounds. These mines will advertise the character of the lodges ;n the Kofa district.
 The North Star company is building permanently for constantly increasing values The reduction mill is located at the mine. Water is piped seven miles from well which IS 1900 feet 9eep, and assures a perfect supply.
 Oil is used for fuel. It is freighted from Dome, and that there may be no chances of fuel famine through flood waters, sipbon has been run through the bed of the Gila which connects storage tanks for distillate oil on both sides of the river. 70. ...-.-. The camp at the North Star has trebled in size in the past year. The country adjacent is largely located, and every stage leaves Dome loaded with a ton of freight and passengers, sometimes ton and quarter.
 E. F. Sanguinetti has just returned from a visit to his general merehan- disc establishment there, and has made arrangements to enlarge the building and materially increase the stock.
 A telephone system to Dome will be installed at once and estimates are TOW being made for the materials.
 Mr. Sanguinetti is enthusiastic over the district. He predicts it will be the biggest camp in Arizona, and five hundred prOspeetOrs will be on the grounds within sixty days.

FUTURE or WALKER

CFrom Sundays Dany)

Since the discovery of gold in Lynx Creek, the future of the Walk CT district mas never been so bright as now," sand A. J. DOran, who returned from a mine inspection visit in that section last night, to a JOurnalMiner representative.
 "Mining men seeking investments, miners and .prOspeetors, are arriving there daily," he declared. A gener- al buoyant feeling is manifested by the mine owners and prospeetors who are pushing the development of their properties.
 "General Manager A. E. Hurley of the Mudhole mine is pushing work preliminary to the unwatering of the mine. He has the pumping machinery installed and expects to blow the whistle Monday. He is now finishing the placing of the boilers. The new pump will be lowered into the main shaft Monday. It weighs three tons and has a lifting capacity of 6,5OO gal Ions a minute Manager Hurley has done wonderful work since he started to install the pumping machinery.
 Development of the Pine Mountain mine is also being pushed. The mill IS shut down at present, after very sue eessful run.
 ''It is also given out that work will be resumed on several other prop critics in the district as soon as the Arizona Power Company is ready to furnish power from its Fossil Creek plant"

SEEKS TO GET SUIT
 ANGEL HoBALoW ORDERED
From Sundays Daiiy)


 Unbalanced mentally in the delu1 sion that he is in direct communica- ton with the angels, George Seammell, owner of the Three Mile House, east os the city, was arrested here yester- day afternoon at o'eloeg by Deputy Sheriff Joe Cook and lodged in the in sane ward of the county jail. Seam mell walked into the Bashford Burmis ter Company establishment, a few minutes before his arrest, and asked for a suit of clothes, which he insist ed had been ordered for him by an an- gel named Hobalow. When informed that no suit had been purchased for him, he walked outside and called aloud several times for his guardian, Hobalow. His arrest followed
 Seammell insists that his guardian angel is a nephew of Arehangel Ga briel. He says that the angel advises him constantly and that he is his pro tector. In conversation early yes terday morning, Seammen declares that the angel told him to come to this city for a suit of clothes he mad pur- eIasedi n the Bashford Burmister Company's department store. He hitehed up his horse and drove to the city. He was ehagrined on his arrival at the store to learn that no one there was in communication with his guar dian angel and fearing that he had been deserted by his heavenly com panion rushed outside calling aloud for him.
 Deputy Sheriff Cook drove Scam meH's horse to the Three Mile House after the arrest and placed a neighbor in charge of the place. The officer learned there that Seammell's derange- ment of mind was noticed a week ago. He exhorts his friends to come under the protection of Angel Hobalow and cautions them to quit their evil ways.
 A warrant charging him with insan- ity has been issued by Probate Judge Hicks. He will be arraigned in court for examination next week.

years ago, shortly after BOuse diseov- cred water at the townsite that bears his name. Although only opened to a depth of seventy feet by its discover CTS its ore netted a handsome profit after mining. transportation and smelt- CT cnarges were deducted. Five car loads of ore shipped averaged in value $g.7O in gold and 13.2 per cent cop per. leaving the average profit per ear skipped at S762 after the payment of transportation and smelter charges. The ore is very desirable as d smelt- ing proposition, carrying 34 per cent iron.
 The mineralized zone on the Little Butte is over 200 feet in width and 1900 feet in length. Lenses of ore from one foot to seven feet in thick ness obtrude through the pOrphyry and lime filings under a gossan cap ping. The porpnyrys are impregnated with iron, carrying more or less values the entire width. In the bottom of the main shaft there is a seven foot pay streak of shipping ore.
 The ore lenses and formation dip at an angle of 45 degrees to the east, the general strike of the vein or deposit northwesterly and southeasterly. The gossan cafping is pierced by number ot shailow shafts and open cuts the ertire length of the claim, shown g { continuity of the ore bodies. In one open cut there is 26 feet of ore ex- posed that can be smelted at a profit with a plant on the ground. Prospectors, miners and mining men of the district familiar with the prop erty voiced their confidence in the fu- l ture of the Little Butte mine by pur- chasing 7I,5OO shares of the eompa- ny's treasury stock in less than three hours after it was announced on the market.
 The main shaft of the Manipulator
 mine is down 200 feet. The same ge- olcgieal conditions prevail as at the Little Butte, with the exception that the ores are lower grade.
 General Manager Denton also said that preparations are under way by [ John D. Leady of Pasadena, CalifOr- nia. and his associates to commence active development on the Dutehman and Jackrabbit groups April l. These properties were recently taken over under bond from BOuse and McMahon,
 the former owners of the Little
 Butte. The deal was eonsummated by Mr. Denton.
 A carload of ore was shipped last
 week from the Old Maid mine. This
 property is now owned by s. T. Godbe
 of Salt Lake and a Utah syndicate
 The management expects returns of
 $50 in gold to the ton from the ship
 ment. The ore also carries copper
 values.

LITTLE BUTTE MINE
 GETS RAILWAY SWITCH
Erom Sundays Daily)

DEIOlI CuAAas D~A-S1
 Remarkable progress is being made in the erection of equipment, camp buildings and other improvements on tke Little Butte mine since it passed into the possession of the Arizona Bouse Coppeh Company a month ago. The new hoist is in place and working, the shaft house and blacksmith shop and general managers residence com pleted and the erection of a new bunk house and new dining room and kiteh- en well under way.
 J. C. Denton. general manager of tle company, who arrived here yester- day morning, is very enthusiastic over the future of his properties, which comprise the Little Butte and Manip- ulator groups of nine claims. He has fifteen miners employed sinking the Little Butte shaft and will add the third shift to the working force as soon as he has a fan, now being con structed, ready for operation.
 MT. Denton made arrangements with the management of the s. F., P. X P. railroad yesterday to have a switch bujlt from the main line of the Arizona & California Railroad to the Little Butte mine shaft. The switch will be finished in the next thirty days, elim- mating the cost of hauling the mine product by wagon to BOuse and the delivery of supplies at the camp. Tne ground between the railroad and the mine is level so that very little grad ing will be necessary for the switch, which will be a half mile long.
 His plan of development also in eludes the equipment of the Manipula- tor mine with hoist and other ma ehinerv as soon as the Little Butte i'm movements are finished and the devel- opment of the mine well under way He expects to have the Manipulator equipped and in operation in sixty days.
