TeIIurium at Manhattan.

It looks like putty or cement or sometimes like dull bronze, but when it is properly fiuxed and melted down it is found to be almost pure gold.
 This is the new mineral that is show ing up more plainly on the Burr-Thom- as lease on Mineral Hill, a two thirds interest in which has been ac- quired by the East Side Mining & Leasing Co. Local mining men who
 hvae examined the substance believe
 it to be a more or less oxidized form of some one of the tellurides. The
 first recognition of this kind of ore in
 the district was in a piece of float
 picked up on the east side last No
 vember. Although showing scarcely any free gold the piece assayed 19l6S in gold. The snowfall irterferred
 with further search for source of the ore and it was not until the recent strikes on the St. Paul and Otergo groups that any further trace of this mlucEdl was lOuuu. ucu lJ HdS nOlcO that the same dull and commonplace color was frequently associated with some of the richest free gold ores. A test of this rock was made by Mir. Simons. After crushing all the free gold in the sample, it was taken up by amalgamation, using as small an amount of water as possible. The free gold portion of the assay, when weighed showed 357S sos to the ton. As it was known that the base values easily might be borne away in water the moisture was evaporated from the An assay of the remaining powder gave values of 2302.0OS, mak> ing the total gold contents of the rock 5SS0.60S per ton. During the past week this mineral is becoming more than ever apparent in the Burr-Thom- as shaft. The color is changing from the dull gray to steel blue and is iden- tical with some of the tellurides. It is found for the most part in exceedingly hard jasper which chips of in pieces like Indian arrowheads when struck with a hammer.-Post, Manhattan, Nevada.

sion of andesite and breccia thrown up through the surrounding sandstone, the ore deposits being found along the contact of the two formations. The general strike of the ledge is north west and southwest, dipping south. The ledge has been characterized by numerous slips and minor faults, in- dicating successive disturbances. A few hundred feet southeast of the original discovery shaft there occur red large minor fault, cutting the ledge of as that point. Or running southeast about 600 feet, the ledge was again encountered, the displace- ment being to the south. The out croppings of the Silver Crown claim is a white quartz dike. The contact of the andesite and breccIa follows along the Horn Spoon claim and the Rainbow. A number of veins of ore outcrop on these claims, having about the same strike as the Commonwealth lode, and all pitch toward the contact. On this theory the new company is pushing work to crosscut the ore bodies.
 It is reported that Pearce, the orig inal discoverer, has recently struck a vein of gold ore a few miles east of the Commonwealth which runs in the ounces in gold.-El Paso Herald.

time and the final details for the build- ing of the road have been arranged between the Santa Fe railroad and former Senator Clark of Montana. It is also known that it is the intention to build the railroad south from the new shelter through the valley to Camp Verde and thence to a point on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, near Dewey, connecting the plant of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling con- pany at HumbOlt. This will afford market outlet Go the agriculture prod ucts of the Verde valley, and besides give direct line from the United Verde mine to Humbolt.
 It has long been known that the United Verde Copper company has been considering the establishment of a great shelter on the Verde river, as the present shelter is directly over the mine and it is believed in more or less danger of being wrecked by a cave-in of the great property.
 The new plant will be built in the foothills between Deception Gulch and the Haskell ranch. The latter one of the best water supplies in the Black Hills range, which can be run by gravity to the shelter, eliminating the cost of pumping the entire water supply from the Verde river. The ranch is owned by the Clark interests.
 It is also rumored that the title to the Copper Chief mine, in which there is approximately 2,OOO,OOOS worth of ore blocked out read for stoping, has has passed into Jhe control of Senator Clark.

The removal of the shelter from Jerome will not effect the town in any way as a mining center. The United Verde company will continue to operate the present plant until after the new one is in operation, and by the time the smelting operations will be exclusively confined to the new plant the force of miners employed will be far greater than the present mining, smelling and mechanical forces combined.-Phoenix Democrat

There are hundreds of people right
in this vicinity who have poor blood,

strength, vitality or ambition.
We want to ask all such people to
call at our store and get bottle OF
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and

Chalfonte in Atlantic City at five o.
clock Tuesday afternoon He was
accompanied by his father, while his
mother remained at the hotel Girls
com and his father entered a car
rage and were driven to a train
bound for Philadelphia.
Since February II Griscom had re-
manned in his room, taking extreme
care to prevent newspapermen or
even intimate friends from approach
ing him. His father was the only mem
Der of the family who ventured out,
and then he, too, was at all times ac'
companied by a friend.
According to the hotel manager
the Griscoms gave no hint OF their
intention to leave the place but left
the money to pay their bill with a
chambermaid. and also left a note In

lay ana iOamy soils
To reduce the amount of spreading
10 the minimum II Is advisable to place
the gravel on the nine foot rOadbed
by dumping two loads side by side,
stringing them out just far enough to
make the required depth.
Usually the gravel should be placed
on the road commencing at the end Of
the road nearest the gravel supply so
that the teams will aid in packing. AS
soon as the thirty or forty rods Of
gravel have been spread on the road
1t should be narrowed with q spike
tooth harrow, preferably one of the
lever type. If but few teams are haul
ing the harrow may be used twice
daily-just before quitting time at
noon and again at night
If hundred yards or so of gravel
are hauled to the road daily one team
should be working on the harrow all
the time. The narrowing should be
done the same for both courses. AS
soon as the gravel has been well wet
by rains 1t should be rolled with the
best roller available.
Gravel roads are popular in Michi-
gan for the following reasons: Because
they are durable and satisfactory; be-
cause they are easily built and easily
repaired. requiring no expensive ma
chinery; because the first cost is low;
because they draw relatively large
state reward. frequently one-third or
more of their cost; because they are a
labor proposition from start to finish
and keep all the money spent in their
construction at home. IL you have
gravel. build a gravel road.

They Often Hunt In Couples to Start

Lions In Africa go hunting often in
couples and then rather systematical-
ly. When, for instance. a couple of
lions have traced out a kraal-that Is
to say, a place fenced by small cut
thorn trees, where flocks of asses or
oxen, goats or sheep are shut up for
the night-the lioness approaches eau
tiously, profiting by every tree or bush
to hide herself. At the same time the
lion himself lies watching on the OPP
posite in the distance.
Now the lioness exerts herself to
arouse the cattle-which Is not diff
cult, as they become excited merely
by smelling a beast of prey-till the
cattle are tormented to the utmost by
fear and horror. break through the
kraal on the side opposite to the lion
ess and thus fall an easy prey to the
lion.
The lion chases his victim and throt-
ties 1t by springing on its neck or
breast and biting his teeth into this
part. The hunted animal falls, and
the lion now tears open the TANKS.
The lioness appears and has her share
Of the meal. Very often they cannot
devour their victim In one night; then
they come back to the place where the
remains are on the following or the
second night.

YOUNG GIRLS COUTURE.
What to Do With Hair Beyond Bob
bed" Age.

Many mothers are puzzled these
days to decide how to arrange the hair
of the little daughter when she gets
beyond the age of "bobbed'' hair or
curls tied with bow.
Simplicity and becomingness must
both be achieved and the tastes of the
girl herself taken into consideration
For young girl say, from thirteen
to fifteen years who is too tall to wear
her hair hanging loose about the pref
test and most becoming way of ar.
back hair to make pompadour,
held In place by a bowknOt of satin
ribbon, the back part then caught just
in the center and tied with Il piece of
tape. the end again braided and the
braid doubled back and caught into
the same piece of tape with ribbon
tied over it in pretty bow.
By no means the least important
part of the couture Is the tying of the
hair ribbon. Nothing makes young
girl look so untidy as a hair ribbon
not carefully tied or one that is not Il
good color for the gown with which it
Is worn.
The method just described of arrang-
ing the hair possesses the great advan-
tage that while it leaves the hair be
comingly loose about the face the rib
bon Is at the same time held securely
and will not be constantly falling off,
as when it only catches the hair in the
center of the back with nothing to
