A MAN LIVING WHO SAW
THE FACE Of WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, February 10. -
There is a man still living in this, the
twentieth, century who gazed on the
face Of the father Of his country, who
died i'm the eighteenth century-112
years ago, to be correct This man
who actually saw the countenance of
George Washington is sdl in posses
sion Of his faculties and remembers
well how that great man looked.
He is, perhaps, the only man alive
today who ever saw the first Presi-
dents face.
This man, John Lane, a resident of
Washington, was not born until a
quarter Of a century after Washing
ton died. Yet, as stated before, he
viewed that patriarch's face. The
occurrence which makes this appar-
emily impossible thing a fact was the
opening Of the tomb of Washington
seyenty-four years ago. At that time
the body Of the great man was moved
from one tomb to another. A COM
mittee Of Congress oficiated at the
transfer The coffin was opened Tor
1ne brief moment and the committees
members took a last long look at the
ace Of the man who had done most
oward establishing the nation which
vas already growing great. The re-
mains had been competently embalm.
ID and the face remained as in life.
after this one look the coffin was
laced in its new sarcophagus, her.
netically sealed and placed in its
lew abode, where it has rested un.
disturbed ever since.

 But men cannot live without the charms of the fair sex, even in country where the two sexes are HOt allowed to enjoy each others society. except in the married life of the home, so that as long as the geisha undertakes this pleasant duty of en- tertaining the men. there is not much chance for Japanese wives and daughters tO develop their social qual- ities.

Even the nobility did not disdain the pleasure of an utagaki. and love marriages often resulted. This sing ing circle developed later into a kind of impromptu drama, and the rustic dance called bonodori. which takes place on summer nights out of doors all over provincial Japan. Is believed by some scholars to be a modern form of the old time utaSaki.
 In the classical period of Japanese literature from the eighth to the sixteenth century men and women often met together. amusing them selves with competitions in poetry, in incense burning and in writing love letters. Four hundred years of con- Stant warfare changed all this. Dur ing these dark centuries a curious custom was in vogue. A divorce wife was expected to undertake what was called second wife chastisinE.

RESUMPTION OF WORK
 ON GOLD PROPERTIES
An Indication of Prosperity in the Min
 ing Interests of Tucson.

Mining men of the territory have been gratified to learn during the last week that mining interests in the vi- cinity of Tucson are picking up. the latest indication of prosperity in that region being the resumption of work at the Gould mines in the Tucson nioun tains about fourteen miles from the city. Yesterday mining engineer ar rived in Tucson from Los Angeles and proceeded to the property where he will Immediately resume development work and when the Pioneer smelter is ready for operations the Gould mines will be one of the first shippers to the Tucson reduction works.
 The work at the Gould property for the time building will consist O. devel- opment work and road building for there is some road making necessary to get the ore out from the mines to the shelter. This will require some time but they will go on steadily along the development work that is planned at the mines
 For the past ninety days there has been no work at this property. Last summer work was continued al, sum mer but it was largely in the way of well sinking to solve the water prob lem which was done. The property has always been considered one of the most promising of low grade copper proposi- tions. IL has an immense ore body, the ledge being fifty feet wide and runs high in sulphides which makes it an es- pecially desTable ore for smelting
 IL is conceded that the erection of the shelter here which is likely to be in operation by the first of the year, will be a great stimulus to the mining industry hereabouts. There are a num- Der of properties but slightly developed where the ore now being taken out does not warrant the shipment to Douglas or to Fl Paso but which will show some profit when reduced at q nearby re- IductiOn work and such smelter receipts can at once be put back into develop ment work. this to go on indefinitely until the mines are fully opened and made good producers.

POSITION OF JAPANESE WOMEN.
Idea Of Their Subjection Borrowed
 From the Chinese.


 Until Chinese Ideas came to be as cendant the Japanese never thought of keeping women in subjcctiOn. Feminine chieftains are frequently mentioned in the old histories and and there have been famous Japan ese expresses.
 The women of old freely joined the men in fighting and hunting and an imperial edict of the year 6S1 au- thorized them to ride astride instead of sidesaddle fashion. The Chinese even seem to have thought that there was a regiment of Amazons in Japan at this time, and often styled it the queen country"
 A form of recreation known as untagaki. or singing circle. was very common in those early days. and is the oldest form of social gathering mentioned in Japanese annals. in which both sexes took part. Young and old would assemble on a hill or in a field and there recite poems and exchange thoughts on poetry or literature
