1t is extremely gratifying to note the
greatly increased activity which doml-
mates the mining industry of the west,
and observe the almost feyerish de-
nfand in almost. every walk OF life Tor
gilt-edged mining properties. The con-
dition, as to mining, has much improved
during the past two or three years, and
investors and capitalists. who, not so
very long ago, looked upon mining as a
gamble and the mining operator as a
shark, are now glad to become interest
ed in the former and to become intl-
mately associated with the latter. Thus
it is that opinions will change, and that
things to the investor which were
black a few years ago are now white,
for experience has shown that MINING.
as a whole, is legitimate; that fortunes
are more easily made in mining enter
prises than in any other commercial,
manufacturing, agricultural or business
occupation. Bitter prejudices against
mining have been buried in oblivium,
and because of the fact that their
holders could not stand out against the
overwhelming evidence that mining
was both profitable and legitimate.
They could no longer arraign the min
ing industry as a fake, a gamble, when
on every hand, they heard of millions
made from thousands invested, of in
comes pouring steadily into the lap of
friends which would have been fortunes
for kings and rulers IN the olden times,
and as a consequence, have investigated
into mining in all of its branches to
such an extent that they are now glad
to become Unidentified with this fasci-
mating industry.
Indeed, to such an extent has mining
become popular throughout the length
and breadth of this fair land of ours,
that the miner and investor are now
brothers, the natural sequence being
that in almost every mining camp II
the west increased activity is noticeable.
New producers are being yearly added
to the list of our dividend-payers; ole
bonanzas are being resurrected; innu
merable hosting works are going up
reduction plants are being built, anC
there is such a demand for mine ant
mill equipment that machinery houses
are behind in their orders.
Such, then, is the healthy condition
of the mining industry of today, ant
this is but a starter to what it will b,

A romanc of St Kilda is the story
of Lady Grange. wife Of an eighteenth

was for some mysterious reason seized
and carried off in the dark, she knew
not by whom, and conveyed by night
Journeys to the highland coast, and
thence by sea to st. Kilda- There
among the few inhabitants she re-
manned for several years a prisoner,
provided, however, with a constant
supply Of food and a woman to wait
upon her. No inquiry was made for
her, but at last she conveyed a letter
to a friend by the daughter of a cate

A WEEK TO LEARN.
Notable Now Educational Features at
the Spokane Fair.

"0
Successful fairs now pay far more
attention to securing new educational
features than was the custom a rev
years ago. While the amusements are
not neglected and there is always some
thing going on to entertain every pa
iron. education is really the star fea-
ture, and nowhere else can ankinqulr-
ing visitor learn so much about the
great Inland Empire and the general
progress OF art and agriculture.
The Spokane Fair this year proposes
not only to provide this free educa-
ton, but is going to bring thirty farm
boys to the Fair to enjoy a week or
fun and learning combined at the Fairs
expense. The Washington State col
lege will look after the boys and will
also install a comprehensive exhibit
showing the work done at the college.
The Idaho university and the Spokane
schools viii also have complete exhib-
its, and liberal prizes have been offered
for rural school exhibits.
Two other very practical features
along this same line are a model
creamery, which will operate daily, and
a milk test open to all cows, grade or
pure bred, all testing to be done in an
open booth and fully explained.
The Spokane Fair management want
to make the week Of Sept. 80 notable
In every way and guarantee that every
n who attends the Fair can, if they
will, learn something about the line of
agricultural science which most inter
ests them.
