StenciIinQ Hints.

When stenciling a design for a
wallpaper frieze, draw the diapered
pattern on heavy paper so as to al
low the skeleton design to hold firm
ly together after the sprays have
been cut out from stencil plates. Cut
out each piece of the drawing with
a sharp knife. and lay it on a rough
piece of the cardboard SO that the
edge of the knife is not turned.
Prepare each piece to resist the
action Of the color by sizing or by
shellac dissolved in methylated
spirits.
Mix the color with one-third pic
ture copal varnish and two-thirds
turpentine, using only a small por-
ton at time, as 1t is very volatile
Then dab the color all over the sur
face of the design with stencil
brush. You will then be ready to ap
ply 1t to the walls.

Bonanza Mine Playing Out.

Victoria, B. C.-The famous bonanza
mine, lie Roi, in the Rossland district,
British Columbia, which has yielded
many millions in gold, is said to be
playing out. Diamond drillers, after
much work, declare there is no pay
ore in sight The mine is now In the
hands Of London company.
The famous mine was discovered in
1900 by a French-Canadian trapper,
Joe Bourgeois, who drove the first
stake; located shortly afterward by e.
S. Topping, deputy mining recorder at
Nelson, B. c., whose initial expendi-
ture was $40; developed by former
United States Senator George Turner
and his Spokane associates, who
bought the property of Topping for
100000 and sold 1t to the British
American corporation, organized In
London by Whitaker Wright for $4,000.
900 In 1894, and later acquired by the
LIE Roi Mining company, limited, since
which time 1t has yielded more than
$41 100000 in gold.
