This little message for you: EI
Never say die boy, never give up;

Weary the hours, aye and long. long the years;
Every mans hand clenched fist in your face;
What does it matter? Still in its place
Shine on this message-see through your tears.
Never say die boy, never give up;
Oh. Boy, Never Say Die!"
Through the hong years hope grows faint and

Let yet your youth turn your face. old and lined
Up to the message-but faint heart repines.

Recently an American mining en-
gineer was looking over some aban-
doned gold smelters at Mazapil, an
old Mexican town buried in the
mountains, says writer in Tech
nical World Magazine for December.
When he returned to civilization he
carried with him several bricks
from the buildings of Mazapil and
some samples of Stag which he turn
ed over to the company assayer.
The mining engineer had suspect
ed that with the crude mining oper-
ations in vogue at the time of the
former operations there would be
some loss in extracting the gold from
the ore. but he was hardly prepared
for the assayer's report, stating that
the bricks and Stag ran nearly five
hundred dollars to the ton, gold.
silver and copper.
He reported the matter to his
company and quiet investigation
was ordered, where it was ascertain
ed, that the assayer's figures were
not exaggerated in the least and that
the streets of Mazapil were literally
paved with gold and silver, to say
nothing of high percentage of the
baser metals: copper, lead and zinc.

In Old Virginia.
By Magin.

Virginia. sometimes called b e
Old Dominion" or Love Bark"
State, is one of the oldest in the
Union. The State and it's inhabi-
tants have have helped to make his
tory for this country of ours. Vir-
ginia was among the first states or
colonies to take up arms against
England at the outbreak of the Rev
olution. She furnished some of the
best fighting men Of that time; was
the scene of great many battles at
that time.
Among other things the people of
the old Dominion" have to be proud
Of, Is the beautiful scenery to be
found in almost any part of the
state. First, I shall try to give the
readers pen picture of some of the
cities:
Richmond. being the capital, l
will use it for starting point. No
matter from which direction you
enter the city, one of the first things
to greet your eye is the James River.
Above the city are several dams to
furnish water power to the city wa
ter works, electric light plant and
several rolling mills. Below the
city the river has been deeped and
jetted, so that some of the larger
sea-going crafts can come up from
Chesapeake Bay. At the upper end
of the city, and directly in the mid
die of the river, is Belle Isle. At
the present time there is large roll
ling mill situated here. During the
war of the rebellion this mill was
