1t Is noticeable that in this mine the
higher grade zinc is quite well separ-
ated from the copper, so that II will
be possible 10 mine by far the larger
proportion Of the zinc practically free
from copper, or free from any such
percentage Of copper as would be worth
separation. This will greatly simplify
the treatment Of these ores as an
other neither being penalized serious
/ ly for its proportion of the other. The
mine is 18 miles from tide water,
where cargoes can be loaded for ship
mcnt direct by water, 10 zinc buying
and smelling works in Germany and
Wales.
The mines have been developed un-
der old and unskilled methods, and
with little regard for the safety OF
the miners, for the blocking out of ore
bodies for future operations, or for the
extraction OF valuable ores with the
minimum Of labor i'm the removal Of
waste rock The deepest of the great
bottle shaped pits is nearly 800 feet
down. and on the 30 meter level about
80 feet lateral developments are $50
feet long on the course of the forma-
ton. BY reason Of the manner Of
working IL was necessary that very
large and frequent pillars be left in
the mine, and these contain moro or
less ore probably much though how
great is this quantity cannot be ascer-
tanned until more development has
been carried out. on the walls Of some
of these pillars high grade ore is still
in place. The great pillar Elephant"
is surrounded by water but this has
probably a quantity of ore. In addi-
ton to what may be i'm these pillars,
and which can be pretty completely
mined out by the use of modern and
carefully conducted methods, ore is to
be seen at other parts OF the former
openings, especially in the Smedje por-
'tion Of the mine, where some excellent
faces remain. There is a large ton
mage in these faces. Development
work carried on beneath the Smedje
drift proves the ore to continue in
depth and in high grade. A series of
diamond drill borings was carried out
by the government some years ago.
and these have proved the continuous
existence of copper ores for a depth,
beneath the Smedje bottom. of about
100 feet. i'm one hole, which continued |

These favorable holes are all near
the eastern end Of the mine and are.in

Most women who consider the irk-

WRAPPERS NO LONGER WORN.
Loose Indoor Gown Is the One Now
Most IN Favor.

Wrappers are no longer in vogue.
They may be worn when one is dress
ing or sleeping or attending to minor
details in the house, but they are not
the garment to be put on for other
hours.
The morning wrapper for private
wear is now an exceedingly pretty af-
fair. 1t has nothing in common with
the calico Mother Hubbard of other
days. The kimona has settled all that
1t has given its shape to all these gar
ments. Therefore, the indoor robe is
graceful and is made of pretty, soft
fabric. But 1t has its place and its
hours. The loose indoor gown is the
one now popular for evening wear
when there are no callers.
The busy woman, the tired woman
and especially the woman who works
during the day at any other order of
task does not want to put on tight
gown every evening. She wants one
that is comfortable and artistic.
The new ones which are generally
worn are cut on empire line and do
not require corset under them They
are In one piece, fastened down front
or back, and have yoke and stock of
lace or net.

seasons have children worn such
striking hues as this year. Those re-
liable shades, navy blue, garnet and to-
bacco brown, have been replaced by
colorings once deemed old" such as
taupe grays like London smoke, faded
raspberry red, and even that peculiar
brown, known as Catawba.
These are enlivened by touches of
bullion trimming-particula gold.
For the bullion braid frogs and tassels
have quite generally replaced those OF
silk on very dressy garments.
A word about fur coats. These are
an excellent investment in fam
lily where there are several children.
for they can be handed down one size
to another as the children grow. In
climates where the winters are severe
they are especially desirable. For the
baby in short clothes who still rides in
coach, a favorite skin is coney, which
is very much like soft white rabbit
skin.
For a baby the pure white is of
course preferable. For children of
three and upward it can be dyed gray,
brown or black A very stunning COM
bination for q girl of six is a full
length loose coat of this black fur with
a velvet hat showing a dash of flame
color or scarlet.
Pony skin and caracul cloth are also
used for children, but none of these
are as light and yet warm as the coney
skin. A fur coat for a child should be
very plain without fancy braid or but.
tons, etc.
The navy blue chinchilla cloth. so
long a standard cloth for school coats,
REFERS, etc, has been replaced this
season by gray chinchilla.
Broadcloths, especially those in two
tone effects and heavy weights, are
used for general wear, while the satin
finished fabrics are suitable only for
the child who may have several outer
garments. Sensitive mothers of babies
in long clothes have two coats, an In.
ner and outer garment.
Our illustration shows q model suit
able for child from four to eight
years of age. This is a model of
loose coat that can be slipped on over
fancy dresses. This especial model
was seen evolved in heavy French
serge in dull gray and the trimmings
were Of broadcloth in lighter shade
of gray and gilt frogs trimmed the
front. 1t requires very little skill to
make this coat as 1t is cut in only two
pieces.
