that The hat that is expected to be met
with acclaim is not always the one that
sets the fashion. The toilette that is so
confidently hoped to appeal to fair
woman often meets with rejection.
Every hat has its day, while a few Of
the reliable models are allowed to live
much longer.

There is, OF course. the long sleeve for
those who insist upon certain indivld-
uality in costume; but this style is not
the long unbroken line to which we have
been accustomed.
There must be suggestion OF the
short length given by bands across the
arm. or by deep cuffs and pufrs. Trim
ming can be used in plaques or horizon
tai lines to cut the long arm line into
the divisions that are emphasized in the
spring fashions.
Ruffles OF pleating and lace are used
to edge the short sleeves-in fact. the
fulness that a. evidenced IN other lines

row lace edge were butter-coIored.
The ruffied collarette, measuring eight
inches in depth. is one of the models

Quartz Mining Revolutionized

That quartz mining has been re-
volutionized by the Introduction OF
the Humphreys Quartz mill is now
conceded by all practical mining
men who have seen this invention In
operation at the Lucky Strike mine
near Graves creek. The Humphreys
mill is a radical departure from the
average ore mill in the sense that 1t
combines the action of the stamp
mill with the grinding securing and
matchmaking features of the aras-
ira. with resultant capacity OF
from one-half to one ton of ore per
hour. 1t requires less than five
horse power to operate this mill,
generates a speed of from so to GO
revolutions and produces from 200
to $50 hammer strokes per minute.
Among the striking features that
first arrest the attention of the prac-
llGdl miner Wutn lllol otSih6 'lN ~"
chine in operation are that the
hammer heads are so constructed
that they last indefinitely and that
all sand is ground to pulp without
any loss of amalgam through the
screens nothing can pass through
the machine without being crushed
to a pulp. The amalgamator pockets
can be opened from the outside, and
last but not least, the machine
weighs only from 1900 to 5000
pounds. according to the nature OF
mortar.
To sum the whole proposition ur
In nutshell, the Humphreys Is the
best machine made for the following
reasons, viz. % low cost; C2)
