 The house was very long, a rectan- gle in general form, with the main en- trance in the center of the long side.

Potatoes.

When there are so many ways of serving potatoes do not let us confine ourselves to three or four ways, and never surprise our families with a variety.
 This common apple of the earth" |" as the French people call it, is such a ubiquitous; food that the old proverb of familiarity breeds contempt. holds good in regard to potatoes.
 If one cared to spend little time in thought and study of different modes Of preparation of this vege. table. VIC might have a change for every day in the year. A sufHc va. riety for use. however, could be planned for two or three weeks. then repeating, for most of us forget a dish or welcome one that has not ap- peared oftener than once a month.

That night the cooks sister had a baby-the cook seeing indecision in my face, made it twins on second thought-and, to be short, by noon the next day the house hold staff was down to Liddy and myself, And this in a house with P rooms and five baths!

BUTTE 8AllAkLAvA.
Company Has Made Great Progress
During Past Three Years.

Butte Mont.--From an undeveloped
mining claim To a producing mine IN
three years Is the record of the Butte
Rallaklava Copper Mining company
The company Is now producing at the
rate OF about 100000 pounds of cop
per per year. ON account Of the high
silver values the company is produc-
ing its copper at net cost OF about
four cents a pound, and Is earning
profits equal 10 more than SO per share.
and Is paying "A dividend of 81 per
year. placing the balance Of the earn

ter OF a million dollars year in it's

extensive ore bodies and now has an
immense tonnage i'm sight. on the
500 foot level the ore body Is fully 80
feet wide and has been drifted upon
To the west for "a distance OF about $50
feet Scarcely any work has been
done on this ore body east of the
shaft, but the little prospecting that
has Leen done warrants the assumption
that the ore bodies on the east side
will Dee even greater than on the west
side
While the ore now being shipped
averages close 10 9 per cent copper
with from 10 TO 10 ounces of silver To
the ton, there are great lenses of cop
per glance which carry values as high
as 1915 copper, or pure copper glance.

4 great deal OF interest is attached
TO the striking of the Baltic Lode in
the Isle Royale shaft. This is the
IllGa. as We understand 1t, that the
company has been searching for since
I the Bigclow day and for which the
first exploratory shaft on that forIfa-
ton was first sunk. The strike il Il
holds cut should have an important
bearing On Houghton Copper. Those
who have long recollection of Isle r..

are molincG to be skeptical about per-
manency of any sure discovery until
IL has been wen proved up.
The declaration of the regular divi-
dend on c. g A. was expected. The
property has been doing its accustom-
ed good work recently The Court
land property Is showing up well.
The market for copper, the metal,
continue firm but narrow. General
business in lines requiring It's use have
not been very active. but when it does
start up commission men state that
il will be brisker than for some time
past.
There has been some good buying
of Giroux recently. The management is
evidently in no hurry to force this
property into the ranks of the big
producers and in this is wise. Cir
oux's value is SO well established that
all known it Is but matter OF time
until it becomes one of the leading
properties i'm the Ely district.
