WORK ON THE SILVER EAGLE.


John Hogus, to whom a con-
tract was recently let for zoo
feet Of tunnel work on the Silver
Eagle mine, reports that excel
lent progress is being made and
that indications are most encour-
aging. The tunnel is being
driven from the Nine Mile side
and is now in about 28O feet. 1t
is expected that the ledge will
be cut when 400 feet of work has
been done. Recently the tunnel
cut through a dyke Of clay and
after that encountered some
heavy iron carbonates but all
this has now been passed and
the whole face is in quartzite.
AT the present rate of work it is
thought the ledge will be cut in
about two months.
The property is located south
of the Pittsburg Lead mine.
During the week the delinquent
sale of stock was held and about
1900 shares were purchased by
Mrs. John Hogus. This was all
the stock that was delinquent.

A Real Chucklehead.

"The late Congressman Cushman,"
said a Tacoman, was justly called the
wit of the house, He lacked
an anecdote wherewith to point and
season his remarks.
"Once in a Tacoma speech he told us
not to be chuckleheaded, shallow peo-
pie. doing the wrong thing, deceiving
one but ourselves.
Don't he cried, be like the beefy
English officer
"Then he explained that this officer,
being seated next to an elderly stran-
ger at a dinner. leaned over and said:
"'Who's that fat old hippopotamus
Of a woman opposite?'
""That's my wife, was the reply.
""Thanks.' said the officer hastily.
Thanks. That's all I wanted to know
"And he turned to his neighbor on
the other side and whispered, with a
chuckle:
SCOT devilish we'll out Of that, I
think, eh?'"

BURGLARS TOOLS.
Most Of Them Made by Supposedly
Respectable Mechanics.

Most Of Them Made by Supposedly
Respectable Mechanics.
Every little while. said a detective
recently, the police arrest a man with
a set of burglars tools in his possess
sion. and II naturally wonders where
they all come from.
1t is easy to buy a gun of any de-
scription. and the most reputable per-
son would not be ashamed to be seen
purchasing the most wicked looking
knife yer made. But who would know
where to get a Jimmy" or a device
for. drilling into a safe or any of the
many tools used by the professional
burglar in the pursuit of his calling:
There are places in the large cities
where these things are made and sold
to the users, but such places are ex-
ceedingly scarce. 1t may seem a little
strange to learn that most of the tools
used in burglaries are made by me-
chanics who are looked upon as re.
spectacle men in the community.
When a burglar wants any particu-
lar tool made he goes to a mechanic
who can do the job and pays him per-
haps five times what it is actually
worth for making the tool and keeping
quiet about it. Many detectives can
recall cases Of this kind that have
come to light.
One in particular occurred some
years ago when an escaped convict
named Williams went to a blacksmith
and got him to make q lot of drills to
be used in safe cracking. he person
ally superintendent the tempering of
the steel. but when the job was nearly
completed it leaked out, and Williams
was arrested. In this instance the
blacksmith knew nothing Of the use to
which the tools were to be put. Most
Of the tools used by burglars are Sc
cured in the same way.-Philadelphia
Inquirer.

~Shoemakers Candles.

I we'll remember some seventy years
ago seeing fat candles in use. TO
produce what was known as the fiat
candle. which was also sometimes
called "shoemaker's candle" two new
~ made dips" were pressed close to
each other while soft and then again
lowered into the hot fat, thus holding
them together as one candle with two
wicks. The size could then be increas-
ed If desired. This fat candle was
most generally used by shoemakers
and tailors. but was made use Of in
some households whenever an extra
bright light for working or reading
was required.-Cor. Dickensian.

He Did Love a Little Game, No Matter
Where He Played.
A man went to heaven, and after he
had been there a few days he grew so
lonesome that he told st. Peter he
reckoned that he'd go down and take
a look at the other place.
"But If you go down there you can't
get back" said st. Peter.
"Well, l only want to 60 just to look
at the place." said the man, so st. Pc
ter agreed to give him a return pass If
he promised to be back along toward
night.
He agreed, took the pass and started
of. When he reached his destination
the first thing he saw was a party of
old friends playing poker, but they
wouldn't let him into the game because
he admitted that he had no money.
"Well, I'll fix that all right" he said
as he left them and wandered of
through one of the corridors. Pretty
soon he came back and threw a big
roll Of bills down on the table and de-
manded chips. They all looked in as
constituent ut the size of his pile and
wanted to know where he got It, say
ing that they would not play with him
unless he told them.
'That's all right" he said. "Give
the chips. I sold my pass"
