not be secondhand facts that he has
learned from other writer's. For it is
easier to detect "cramrding" in lit.
erature than in examination papers;
and when the reader detects 1t he
loses interest. There Is this fault in
many OF Zola's novels. He was thor.

edge in q novelist: but he thought he
could cram it. His books are full Of
facts. but they are often facts too

ENTERTAINING. THE BLIND.
In these days OF specialists you can't just
step out and help your fellow humans in haphaz-
ard fashion, said the matron on an institution
for the blind. You have to take a course of
training before you can even do good in the world.
In this position the task that requires most d.
plomacy is declining the services of people who
offer to entertain the blind. All sorts of incom-
petents volunteer. Their intentions are good, but
their achievements are deplorable. Poor readers
are most numerous and are hardest to manage.
They have had no practise in reading aloud since
they left the lower grades in the grammar school,
yet when the fires OF benevolence break out that
is the first thing they want to do. '"F'~ 10
1.-THE blind are particularly sensitive to the
quality of a voice. A harsh, high pitched voice
that rambles on without rhyme or reason gets
on their nerves. and it is our duty to shut out
all such readers. ! They have to be handled with
care because their hearts are in the right place,
and with tact their good intentions may be de-
fected into some useful channel"

MINING NEWS FROM

La Plata. Colo

La Plata. Colo, Mar. 8, 1910
The snow in the La Patas Is going

aIT Sam Henry. the enterprising
and affable owner of the stage line
between La Plata and Hesperus, has
had the time of his life making the
trip and landing his passengers and
mail on schedule time during the past
week. The service has been highly
commendable and satisfactory to the
patrons and the travel good for the
winter months for La Plata, which In.
dicates busy summer for 1910.
Work has been progressing on the
Lucky Noon group during the winter
with the result OF opening what is sup
posed to be the leader or gast which
undoubtedly leads to the main action,
from which the rich surface deposit
which sold this property for $4,000
cash last summer, must have eroded

would indicate that when this deposit
was worked out no evidence remained
oI ltS source at that ttme--that the
source of this wonderfully rich ore Is
near at hand there is no question and
II ic quite probable that the present
find will lead to the mother action.
The Lucky -Four Mining company
has struck ore in the tunnel with 200
feet TO stope which carries around
twenty ounces gold. with only trace
OF silver. This means another ship
per for the La Platas for 1910.
The lessees on the Incas group,
Messrs. Price 4 Co, and G. w. Avery
and associates are sacking ore. The
trail has been shoyeled. and pack
trains are busy packing ore to the
railroad. They say continuous ship.
ment will go out from now on, and
with four to eight feet OF ore II would
seem an easy matter to keep good
tonnage going out for an indefinite

summer for this side of the La Platas.
