Wallace Miner: The Hunter
mine is now shipping approx
mately twenty cars Of concen-
trates monthly. The total runs
from 800 to 900 tons. The COM
pany is in excellent shape and
reports say that it is running at
a profit for the first time in it's
history. Recently ore Of good
quality and in a large, solid body
was exposed below the lowest
tunnel level, and many years of
prosperous life are assured. The
mill is operating to capacity and
is doing good work.

The BLIND LEDGE
From NC mimi Review

the float from canyon to noun
tain crest, is intent upon locating
its source, expecting, invariably,
to find that it has broken away
J from an outcropping ledge fur
Their up toward the crest Of the
J range. 1t nearly always trans
pires that the ledge is found and
that it forms the discovery point
fora location; and it is here, gen
orally, that the first development
work is done, and it is from such
discoveries that many producing
and dividend-paying mines are
added to the splendid string Of
wealth-producers with which so
many OF the mining camps OF the
West are endowed.
1t often happens, however, that
with the development of such
discoveries, in the running. Of
cross-cuts, in the making Of up
raises, and in the sinking of
wines, blind lodges are found
which, in many instances, carry
higher values, are larger in point
OF size, and which are stronger
and more permanent than were
the out-cropping lodges upon
which the first locations were
made.
AS matter Of fact, so many
valuable discoveries Of this char
acter have been made in a num-
Der OF our mining camps of late
that The Mining Review feels i'm
PEELED to call attention to their
value and Importance, and to the
further fact that mine owners, in
the operation and development
OF their properties, should pay
more attention to the many hints
so often thrown out by Dame Ma
ture, to the signs in the rocks, as
to the probable existence OF de-
posits OF the precious metals
heretofore unsupported. Oxidized
spots and patches on the walls
of the vein should beinvestigated
and promising stringers should
be followed, as they often lead to
the main ore body of the mine,
former operations having been
confined to nothing more than
an off-shoot OF the lode or a !
smaller parallel deposit; and this
supposition is reasonable, as it is
often the case that the main ledge
has been eroded at the surface to
be covered later on with debris.
or, in its origin, it may not have
reached the surface at all. It is
also often the case that what was
at first supposed to be the wall
OF the vein, is merely a false wall,
beyond which exists the richest
and largest ore deposits in the
mine.
In many cases the life and value
of a mine is not confined to sin
gle ledge, as it has often been
found, by thorough investigation
that the boundary lines OF min
ing properties embrace parallel
veins loaded with immense de-
posits OF high grade and low
grade ore, the existence of which
were not even dreamed of before

studied consist almost exclusively Of
six works dealing with the Koran and
the life Of Mohammed. OF course the
study is entirely in the Arabic Ian

all parts of the Moslem world. No

the contrary, they are paid for attend

sciences have had place in the cur

period for students to spend at Ell
Azhar, and some have been in at

live in the mosque.
Within the past six months the his
tory Of the venerable school has been
stormy. There have been riots, with
violence to the professors and de-
struction of property. The university
has been closed, and the students
have made demonstrations before the
palace of the khedive. Both profess
sors and students have been on strike,
and now. after revolutionary over
turns, the whole establishment has
been put on new basis. The story
of the riots, in their successive
phases, is too long to be told here. It
began with the demand of two-thirds
of the teachers, who were receiving
only pound and half a month
wages. to be raised nearer the level of
the other third, who were getting
twenty and thirty pounds. The stu
dents thought the time opportunue to
demand an increase in the food which
they got from the state, and also for
a stated payment in cash every month.
They also demanded modernization

steamships, literature, newspapers,

remains in some respects the most
reactionary country on the globe. 1t
is intensely Moslem, and it witnesses
outbreaks Of fanaticism which show
that almost anything Is possible at
any moment in Egypt. When the
sacred carpet for Mecca left Alexan-
dria last year there was an unpro-
voked and unexpected attack upon in
offensive Europeans, merely because
they were Christians. It is known
that the Sennoussi movement, which
has its headquarters and stores Of
arms at Jerabub, an oasis in the des-
ert. Is powerfully represented in
Cairo, and has its teachers in Ell
Azhar, to inflame the fanaticism Of the
students against the Christians. For
the old, old Moslem dream of world
conquest has never been given up. and
the signs are that its point Of out
break will be this same new-old city

ECZEMA DlsFleuRED BABY

"our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The, sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
1t once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head Of hair which is pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

disintegrating. The Khedive is said
to desire reduction of the students
to two or three thousand, as the pres
state, and are really useless. It is
from the village and mission schools
that the new life of Egypt is coming.
So Ell Azhar has been graded and re-
organized from top to bottom, and the
students will henceforth have to learn
such revolutionary teachings as that
the world is round, and that there Is
a history and geography entirely un-
touched by the career and teachings
of the Prophet.
Americas Unique, Place In Egypt.
In sharp contrast to Ell Azhar are
the schools, little and big, scattered
over Egypt, which are commonly
known as American schools, or, more
specifically, as American mission
schools. These are feature of the
work of the United Presbyterian
church's mission in Egypt, which has
almost monopoly of the mission
work in this country. In the educa-
tional department they have upwards
of 10000 students, and these are scat
tered through all grades Of schools,
from village day schools to the really
remarkable college at Assiut. All
sorts of observers, from Lord Cromer
and Mr.. Roosevelt to everyday off,
cials and travellers, have credited
these schools with being potent fac
tors-perhaps the most potent-in the
real awakening Of Egypt.
It is an open secret that the Brit
ish government in Egypt frequently
consults with the American mission
aries upon governmental policies, for
1t is freely admitted that they know
more about the real situation than
anybody else. They are closest to
the people, and the officials really
lean upon them for help. In no other
nation known to me Is the standing of
the missionaries SO high as 1t Is here.
1t is a curious instance Of the inter-
relationship Of nations that the mem
bers of one of the smallest American
religious denominations should be a
potent force in the national affairs of
one of the Oldest nations. and that
half a world away.
Old and New Cairo.
This is land of paradoxes. Here,

globetrotters. And old Cairo is one
of the newest and best governed cities
on earth. Most American municipali-
ties could take lessons from what the
British have done here. 1t Is as safe

BREATHING LIFE.

Life is looked upon by most of us
as rather valuable. We take great
pains to preserve it. We do all we can
to prevent accidents, If we fall sick,
we make valiant fight aided by phys
icians and friends, to maintain our
hold on life. In fact, we do all the
big, important things to preserve life,
and yet all the time, some little every
day things that we neglect because
they seem trifling, are really more
important and would do more for us
in preserving life than all the elabor-
ate efforts We make.
There isn't a minute of the day
when we do not breathe. In fact,
if We didn't breathe, the game would
be up for us. Breath is life, as has
been truly said But how many of us
give much thought to this breath, the
manner of taking it, the kind of air
We draw in. Yet this is more import
ant than all the precautions we take

to promise health. For it is an every
minute matter, and it affects every
part of our body.
People think of breathing as import
ant to the lungs CHIEFLY. But it is
important to every part of the body
The air goes into the lungs, it is true
and if it doesn't sweep every nook and
corner of them clean, they are apt tC
get diseased. But it is in the lungs
that it purifies the blood, the oxygen
of the air passing through the very
thin tissues of the blood-vessels in the
lungs and entering, by natures chem
istry, into the blood helping it tc
thorw off it's carbonic acid gas, making
it red and pure and ready for its

journey through the body, carrying
oxygen and nourishment into every
part. If the impurities are not thrown
off, if the oxygen is not taken
in, it still goes on it's course, but
not fitted for it's work. Impurities are
lodged here and there breeding dis
ease. The oxygen that is needed for
certain work it not done properly, and
vitality is lowered.
The person whose blood is properly
oxygenated has a good circulation, he
is warm-blooded, he doesn't take cold
easily. Correct breathing helps pro-
tect him against such ailments.
Food needs to be oxygenated in ord
er to digest properly. The person
who breathes correctly helps along his
digestion, and thus helps ward off
those TERRIBLE ls,-indigestion and
insufficient nourishment.
All parts of the body are inextrica-
bly, bound together, that you can't neg
lect one part without injuring others.
The breath you draw is vertically the
breath of life, or the breath of death.
Whom you take the deep, full breath
of pure air that sends the blood laden
with oxygen coursing through your
body, you are breathing life. When
you take a poor, weak, little breath
that scarcely reaches below VOur col.
lar bone and which sends your blood
slugglishly on its way laden with I'M
purities, you are breathing death.
Breathing seems such a common.
place matter that we give it too scant
attention. If we would wake up to
! its Importance and realize that we
breathe life when we breathe cor
much higher standard.
