piano. For the rent and the food sup plies she got credit.
 Evidently there Is money-lots of money in the restaurant business if properly conducted. Miss Lewis, novice though she was. made money from the start. Tn March the profit was $750 In April the books showed s94O to tile good. In May thePrincess cleared s12S4. Then estab- ments patterned on the Princess idea began to blossom in various places down. town. As they did, the restaurants that formerly looked with some disfavor on feminine patronage suddenly discovered that the trade of the office women was worth having, and began to cater to it. But it was too late
 A branch of the Princess was started in Broad street, right in the heart of things in the financial district Miss Lewis supervised 1t for two weeks. She had come to be looked upon as an ex- pert by this time. She had been in the business several months In September proposition was made to her to open an establishment of higher grade uptown in the center of the shopping district The offer was so good she did not see IiSf way Cledr lO uectlnlnS II. She was getting a salary from MT. Mckenzie and one-third of the profits. She gave up the Princess and went up town and opened the Glover in No 43 West Twenty-first street From the $500 of his money she used she says Mir Mckenzie got profit of more than S7000 up to the time she got out of the Princess club The Clover was a repetition, after a fashion, of the Princess. No one who did not see 1t could believe there were so many feminine workers in that part of town. It made money from the day it opened. It probably would be flourish ing today but for a fire that gutted the upper part of the building in which it was located and drowned out the club When the building was reconstructed the Glover expected to get it's old rooms, but the owner wanted the space for other purposes, and then Miss Lewis turned her attention downtown once more. A millionaire heard she was

time he had a real sure thing she would speculate to the extent of 50 cents. Then,
 seriously, she added that she never ex-
 peeted to have so much as 5000 in her life.
 What would you do If you had SCOOP l inquired Mckenzie.
 Do? She would open a restaurant-such a restaurant as New York never had seen before, she said. Then she became eloquent. She told him there were
 tens of thousands of girls and women working in downtown New York and the only restaurant open to them were those patronized by men. The restaurant people had an idea the patronage of women did not pay. They knew girls remained longer at table than men, Time was money in a restaurant, particularly midday restaurant. The restaurant keepers also thought women did not spend much on their eating. Girls, they believed thought more of dress than food. There were some tables reserved for women, but they were in the rear near the kitchen, or in some other un- desirable spot. Miss Lewis told the west erner New York had not risen to the need of good restaurants for the women who worked in offices In Chicago she had seen an eating house exclusively for women. There were rest rooms, recreation parlors, music and a variety of accessories that were a de-
 light to the feminine heart When she had seen it she had felt that any one who introduced such an institution in New York would be a public benefactor No one but a woman knew a woman's needs. No one but woman knew how much such an establishment would ap- peal to women. She believed it would pay but whether it would pay or not New York ought to have it. She told how unpleasant it was for a refined, delicate minded woman to go into a public restaurant and be subjected to the scrutiny of all sorts of men.
 She explained how a woman. no matter how much she needed a few minutes rest or relaxation had no opportunity in the lunch hour If she remained too long at table she was viewed with disfavor by the proprietor. If she went out too early she had to wander about There was no place for her to go Surely with so many thousands of women to draw on for patronage an establishment that catered to woman's needs would be supported.
 Well why don't you start one?" asked MT. Mckenzie.

1 As a matter of fact, there hardly Is a restaurant down town in which wine or | liquors are not sold where the checks average so high as here. Have you any idea how many men rush through luncheon. how many take gulp of cof- fee and a few bites of sandwich !? They cannot spare the time to eat, or think they cannot. Those who have time to spare finger long and smoke and drink. The girls want 10 use up their full luncheon hour. They want an 'ad- equate meal and they want an oppor- tunity to relax. No one knows the needs of woman but woman.
 Some of the establishments designed to it is true. but it has boen from bad management, nothing else. Some tried to sell too cheaply. Some did not know how to cater to their patrons.
 T never have conducted my places on what you might call hard and fast sys- tenn. I have no set menu for this day or another l know the things that are tempting to me, and those are the dishes have prepared. Nothing ever is served unless it is garnished so as to make it more appetzng. There is an olive, a pickle, a leaf of lettuce with all sand wiches or meats. It is by giving earnest attention to the simpler thing that you win approval. Now, a. hot roast beef sandwich is a simple thing, isn't 1t? Usually it is made up of two slices of bread, a generous cut of roast beef and some gravy.
 ''It makes a fair midday meal taken with coffee or tea and a desert. But a far more enjoyable hot roast beef sand wich is made of two slices of toast-the toast toasted to a T-a good generous cut of pickle and some lettuce.
 Why do I always have pickle or olive? Well, do you know there is something appealing to woman about them. It may be the same to a woman that the tang of tobacco is to a man. At any rate it is relish. The person who is in this business and fails to recognize small things of this sort cannot succeed l constantly am learning. I go all over town studying. I have to be mighty

 Miss Lewis says prices today are ap- palling compared with what they were when she made her first venture Meats are more than 100 per cent higher ana so are various other supplies. This tre- mendous increase has come within the six years she has been in business
 "The key to success?" she repeated In answer to a question. q know of no other but to be sensible. honest and painstaking. If you are going to do a thing do it right. If 1t is in the matter of making pie, say an apple pie, put good fresh apples in it. If you are mak- ing something with lemon in it use fresh lemons. Don't cheat your stomach. Good food is cheaper than poor food. You'll have your own self-respect and the re- spect of your patrons if you do right by them and right by yourself
 Miss Lewis has been too busy to marry. She says she Is doing better by the in- struction she is giving to engaged girls in how to feed husbands But it isn't
 
 When she left the office of Judd & Co. and startd the Princess club a story of her work was printed along with her portrait, and from far and near lonely bachelors and widowers offered their hands and hearts, for she certainly gave every promise of being good provider Maybe she has no desires that way, or looks with drowning eyes upon the mar riage state, for young woman who brides herself on the possession of three gray hairs went into the restaurant the other day and pointed to the "Just for Girls sign, ventured the suggestion that maybe that would bar her out.

searching for a site. He had a big building, the ground floor of which had been used for years for a restau- rant. Various men had conducted the establishment, but none of them seemed able to make it a success. The thing was getting on the nerves of the million aire. He made an offer to her that was decidedly tempting. She accepted She put up gilt sign Just for Girls,' and now man is barred.
 Within few days of her taking charge the place was packed. It rarely had beenlhalf filled before. Now the basement is one big recreation room for the patrons. There are lounges and retiring rooms, desks with stationary that is inviting to the girl who has per sonal correspondence to attend to, music and all sorts of odds and ends that women fancy. Each day at noon there is a concert.
 Miss Lewis, keen of eye, mild of voice. watchful and untirng, looks after every detail.
 T was fortunate in the first employ- ment I had in Ney York" she says. The druggist for whom I worked con- ducted his business on the principle: Never buy anything but the best and charge a good price for what you sell. I've never forgotten that and never will. The public has an altogether wrong idea about women. Girls do not skimp in their eating. They spend more propor- tionately than men. Why, the restau- rants downtown that appeal to the ordi- nary run of office men only average 16 cents per person served. The checks in this establishment average 30 cents per person served. And the public has A wrong idea about the pay of women
 "Of course, there are multitudes of girls working for $7. $10, $12 s15 a week. but there are thousands-more thousands than you would suppose-who earn from SEQ to $50 week. It behooves the woman who gets a good salary to eat good foods To clothe well is important; to eat we'll is more important
 It's strange how the idea that women do not spend freely for eatables prevails.

thereon. The idea is to conserve tho coal for the government-and the people. The land office also issues patents TOT farm lands as homesteads, reserving the coal which lies beneath them. What sort of coal lands are the best investments?'
 At present the high-grade and more expensive lands are the better buys, all though more of the low-priced lands are being sold. You see we have a consid- erable competition from the railways that have received large grants of public lands as subsidies, and some of which own vast quantities of coal. The Union Pacific road has extensive tracts of valu- able coal lands. I would say that the railroads are not anxious to sell at the government prices, and that our prices are as rule below those asked for pri- vate coal lands in the same districts.
 The Old Plan and the New
 Can you give me an example of the old method of selling in contrast to the present plan"
 'Suppose we take one of the Wyoming coal fields" said the director. Here is a township which at the old rate of from $10 to s20 per acre was valued at s460,00o. It is now priced at cent a ton, according to it's coal contents, and the value is just S2,S00,000 a difference of $2,34000O for that township alone. In another township in Wyoming the present valuation of the coal lands is a little more than sS.OO0,000, whereas it was less than $5000OO before, and single square mile of that town ship had been valued at $2160O0."
 Surveying the Coal
 But how can your surveyors know just what coal there is in the land? Do they use diamond drills and bore down through every acre?"
 "No,'' replied the director. "They can tell from the outcroppings of the coal on the mountains and hills, and the veins exposed in the canyons and valleys. If there is bed of coal 20 feet thick in one canyon and we find a bed of the same thickness and same quality of coal some distance away with the other geological conditions that would show that the two were part of one and the same bed we should conclude that all the land be- tween the two contained coal Our esti- mates are carefully made, and as a rule they are below rather than above the real amounts.
 The Depth of Coal Beds
 HOW deep do you fix the possibility Of mining?"
 we estimate that at about 5000 feet" replied the director. q mean for coal. The Ignite is estimated at about one- third that depth."
 How about Ignite, is it of great value?"
 Tt will probably be worth far more in the future than it is now. We have ai- together in the neighborhood of 15000O square miles, containing about three hun dred and ninety billion tons of Ignite, which is easily accessible. There are vast. beds of Ignite in northern Dakota, cov- cred over with rich farming lands. and there are great beds in the south, nclud- ing Texas and other gulf states. We have Ignite bed in North Dakota which is as big as the whole state of South Carolina. It's contents are estimated at
