AN AVERAGE SAMPLE

was a fair and accurate test of |
the true value OF an ore-body;
but this theory is incorrectu unless
the values are evenly distributed
from wall TO wall. The term
average sample" sounds well,
but, in reality, the average sam
pie is more often misleading than
it is correct.
In the matter of average sam
pies mine-owner is apt to be
misled as to the true value of his
property, and a great many
operators, taking such tests at
their face value, are liable to meet
with some hard and disappoint-
ing propositions if they are gov
erned by them. For instance, a
large body of ore is uncovered in
which occur streaks aud zones of
pay mineral, associated with
shoots of vein matter carrying
but little values. An average
sample is made clear across the
vein with results that are most
encouraging. The pay streak
possibly, is two feet in width,
assaying $50 to the ton; while
the whole vein, ten feet in width,
averages SIS. This looks good
to the owner of the mine, and he
goes ahead with it's development
and equipment laboring under
the impression that he has a ten
foot vein of $75 ore; when, as a
matter of fact, he has ouly two
feet of ore which it will pay him
to handle; the other eightfeet be-
ing little better than slightly
mineralized rock. Rock thatcan-
not be handled at a profit under
any circumstances, and rock
which, if mixed with the pay pro-
duct of the mine, reduces its
grade withoutin the leastincreas.
ing it's value. The fact that the
full ten feet of ore averages $75
to the ton really amounts tC
nothing, and is a detriment, g
hardship, without a question o
doubt, to the really good orr
in the mine, and does not give {
fair and accurate idea of the val
ne of the orebody.
No man would mix barrel
country rock with the ore he i
shipping to the market or to th
smelter, and yet hemight as wei
do SO as to mine or mill witt
high grade ore, mineral so low il
grade that it cannot be handle,
at a profit on it's own merits; o.
it's own intrinsic value. AS
matter of fact, the eight feet c
vein material would go only
little in excess of SO a ton, an,
this would not pay shipping an
smelling or milling charges; and
therefore, is valueless exceptin
in the matter of tonnage.
Along the same line Of reason
ing, it is not fair to the mine c
to the owner to state that til
average OF an orebody is SIS c
500, as the case may be, wheI
as a matter OF fact, four-fifths I
the vein is SO low in grade as t
be practically worthless. III

And there lies the tragedy of most
women's lives. They want to be told
constantly, repeatedly told that they
are loved. They can never be recon.
Ciied to taking 1t for granted. However
faithful and devoted they may know
their husbands are at heart, they want

their married life, all the little love

honeymoons. And not one woman in

A QUEENS BEAUTY.
Alexandra Retains Youth BY Simple
Living.

Alexandra Retains Youth BY Simple
Living.
Queen Alexandra, Of England, has
long been the wonder Of the world
because Of her remarkable appearance
of youth.
She has lived nearly sc years, ex-
periencing much sorrow and suffer-
ing, yet she looks younger than her
youngest daughter and is besides ra-
diantly beautiful woman.
It is not a matter of chance, how
ever, but the result Of careful study
and attention by which a system Of
habits has been established that Is
now instructive, so that the beautiful
Viking princess has taken on an i'm
perishable habit Of youth; she will
never grow old.
To begin with, the queen has never
permitted herself the evil luxury OF
anger or any show of bad temper.
Nothing will so quickly age person
as anger, nothing so quickly dissipate
the look of youth as vexation and ir-
ritation, and the queen has never been
known to lose her temper, consequent-
ly the wicked wrinkles that tell the
tale of wasted forces are not written
upon the smooth skin.
The queen has always prepared her
self for all great court functions with
the most studied care; she Is massaged
and bathed in stimulating lotions and
oils, and is properly nourished before
the event, and Immediately after any
function she returns and Is again rub
bed and fed.
At all times her majesty Is careful
about her diet, for upon this she
counts to keep her figure and the
beauty and freshness Of her skin which
with a delicate bloom in the cheeks.
She does not drink tea, coffee or
chocolate or wine, milk being her only
beverage. Cows are kept at the royal
stables connected with all the royal
residences, so that the milk Is fresh
and pure. She avoids condiments In
her diet, pepper, vinegar and strong
spices being eschewed by her. They
dry the skin and produce wrinkles,
besides affecting the liver, and she re-
fuses desserts of a rich, heavy kind.
She eats very little meat and rarely
beef. Chicken, tender birds, fish and
eggs make up the substantial part or
her diet.
The queen is an ardent advocate Of
fresh air and exercise, although she
has never adopted the strenuous sports
of the English people. She Is fond of
riding and driving, skating and OF
brisk walks at all times Of the day
and in all kinds Of weather. She lives
in cool rooms, never having the tenn
nerature above 60, and she believes In
open windows. When at Sandringham,
the royal country place, she spends
nearly all her time out Of doors with
the animals in the garden and about
her dairy.-Vogue.

A Friend In q Fog.

In one Of the worst London foSs,
said an Englishman, IAN old friend OF
mine tried to find his way from Ira
falgar square to the Savoy, where he
had an engagement to dine.
"The sulphurous air made the eyes
smart and the head ache, and 1t
brought on terrific fits Of coughing.
You could not literally see your hand
before your face. There was con-
tinual crashing in of windows, bells
tangled, vehicles and foot passengers
collided, and shrieks and oaths arose.
Threading his way in the midst OF
mis- pandemonium through the Strand,
as he supposed, from Landseer's lions
to the waiting dinner at tae Savoy,
my old friend, to his great bewilder-
ment, soon found himself descending
a broad stairway He put his hand to
the balustrade. Yes, broad and state
ly stairway with rail Of carved stone.
Amazing!
Suddenly in his descent my friend
collided with some one ascending the
stairway.
"Hello!" re said.
".Hello!' a gruff male voice replied.
"'Can you tell me- said my friend
where am going"
Certainly said the other. If you
keep straight on you will walk into
the Thames, for I've just come out OF
it."

QUEER HOSPITALITY.
A Curious Experience In the Wilds OF
Arabia.

Arabia.
OF the curious ideas of hospitality
held by some of the natives Of that
wild country lying between Bagdad
and Damascus two travellers, Captain
Butler and Captain Aylmer, tell In the
Geographical Magazine: I'VE found
Feysul Ibn Rashid "a minor ruler Of
..rabia> sitting in low room, the 100:
Of which was supported by wooden
pillars. All round the sides Of that
room were spread carpets, on which
sat his viziers and members Of his
court. He is a man of 3S years with a
dark, pointed beard, good, regular fea-
lures, but eyes that are cold and cruel,
and he has nervous, fidsety manner
and was all the time arranging his abba
(cloak) and combing and curling his
mustache and beard and admirins him
self in a small, cheap looking glass
that hung just behind him. Above
his head on the wall hung his silver
mounted walking stick and a sword,
the sheath Of which was also covered
in silver. He was very richly dressed.
ION our arrival at the house placed
at our disposal, we congratulated our
selves on our good fortune in having
such a cordial welcome, but we were
speedily disillusioned. We had not been
there more than five minutes when
Feysul's head slave, a richly dressed
parsonage called Dahm, came to tell
us that the emir would not take our
camels or our money as he had plenty
of both, but that he would like things
of European make or of interest that
we happened to have. This was only
too true and during our five days stay
there was continual procession OF
slaves and hangers-on from the castle
demanding things for the emir and
his viziers and favorites and demanding
them in such a way that it was i'm
possible for us to refuse. At last we
had practically nothing of any value
left, having been fleeced Of watches,
revolver, compasses, various clothes
and other articles Of out kit.
Apart from this system Of more or
less polite robbery we were well treat
ed by the emir and had our food sent
us from the castle by him. About three
or four times a day we had a royal
command from him and used to go up
to the castle and drink many cups Of
coffee and excellent sweet tea with
him, and talk about his country and
Europe. He was always very genial
on these ocasions, and 1 honestly think
he considered he was treating us well
in not taking all we had and turning
us adrift to die in the desert.
