Special to the Bonanza

Special TO the Bonanza
MANHATTAN, August 3. - The
ore in the LaLime shaft of the Dex-
ter Union Mines company has shown
a marked improvement during the
past week, stringer of six inches
and upwards having been tapped
which shows values as high as
$3.50 a ton and sometimes double
that amount Last week it was
all good milling grade averaging.
according to the sampling of Super
intendent Durkee, from $40 to $50
ton. Mr.. Durkee has formed the
opinion that the new stringer goes
down but not up. That is, 1t does
not seem to go up to any great
extent and as a result 1t will be
necessary for him to take care of
the water problem and sink to a
lower level where the ore will be
stopped and milled at the earliest
/ possible moment.
A hosting plant is in the final
stages of being installed and the
ore available without further sink
ing will be brought up in a hurry.
| This ore is of no mean quantity
its average width being between
| Is and 20 feet and the small limit
on its longitudinal dimensions.

PAPERS ARE RUN FOR WOMEN
Writer In Atlantic Monthly BIames
This for the Deterioration Of
journalism.

During the past few years hun.
dreds of journals have sprung up
devoted to women's special interests.
They are almost all Of them snowy,
fragmentary, personal, concrete and
emotional. II is difficult to find one
that representa- general OF abstract
interests. One Of these journals,
which boasts fabulous circulation,
is supported by its women subscribe
ers and readers to oppose the larger
interests of women in education, in
dustry and political life. At least,
if it does not oppose these interests,
it does not aid them. Imagine a mil
lion German women sending the kai-
ser one dollar and a half a year to
induce him to tell them once a
month to 60 back to their kitchens,
churches and children.
The newspapers of America have
steadily changed during the last
three decades in the same direction.
Editorial pages and news columns
have been steadily modified in the
direction of fragmentary, egotistic,
personal and sensational, OF at least
emotional, appeals. These are the
qualities of children's minds, and of
undeveloped minds everywhere. The
change is, of course, all a part of the
larger democratic movement ofuaur
time, and many causes have con-
tributed to bring it about. Had wom-
en- not been so active, something of
the same sort would have happened,
butt women we're all to forget how
to read over night, there is little
doubt that the newspapers would
find it advantageous to print more
,statesmanlike editorials, and more
general and abstract news.-Atlantic
Monthly.

TELEPHONE FOR THE MUTEs
Curious Electrical Device That En-
ables Them to Communicate Rap
dly at Distance.

A curious electrical device called a
Ndeaf-mutes' telephone" has been in
vented to enable those who cannot
speak and hear to communicate rap
lily, not only with each other, but
with persons who can speak and
hear and are not conversant with the
finger-sign language, says the Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine, in an Illus
trated article.
"The phone" comprises an cleo
trical keyboard, somewhat like that
of a typewriter. 1t has, like a type
writer, the universal SYSTEM ar
rangement of letters. This keyboard
is connected by wire with an cleo
trio signal board which is the "talk-
ing machine" proper and consists of
thirty-six incandescent light globes,
each with a large letter of the alpha
bet or one of the nine numerals
painted on the end of the bulb.
The person who wishes to talk
presses the keys, spelling out the
words as on typewriter, the other
person reading off the letters as they
flash on the lamps.

MINE PONIES PROTECTED.

In 1908 F. A. Cox of England be-
gan his enthusiastic labors in behalf
of the sadly ill-treated ponies of the
coal mines. The lot of these poor,
abused little creatures has been a
sort of equine hell. Aa last there
has been won for them by Mr.. Cox
and those who have been associated
with him bill securing the follow
ing provisions: (1) The numbering
of every animal on descending the
shaft. (2) No animal to be en-
gagged over or under a certain age.
(3) Limitation of hours of ponies
work. (4) A meal midway between
the allotted hours of work. (5) Sup
ply of water for every animal en-
gagged. (6) Every driver to be
licensed and registered and the time
during which he is in charge of a
specified animal booked to him.
~ Every injury to a pony to be
reported, investigated and registered.

animals by veterinary surgeons APP

BEAR MADE THINGS LIVELY.

When the Norwegian steamships
Hercules, which arrived from the
Orient in Portland, Ore, the other
day, was riding out a storm in mid
ocean a big black Chinese bear be-
longing to the boatswain, who was
bringing it over to sell, tore down
the bars of the cage he occupied un-
der the poop deck and proceeded to
enliven things. One of the mates
ventured into the part of the vessel
where the bear had been imprisoned
to ascertain the cause of the noise
he heard. AS he set back near the
cage the bear, standing on its
launches, confronted him with open
mouth, lolling tongue and out
stretched arms. He fled. The bear
followed him to the deck, but made
no attempt to overtake him. For the
next three days the bear enjoyed the
freedom OF the steamer, no attempt
being made to capture him. He as
cended the masts time and again.
Finally he fell asleep on the deck
one day and was secured and dashed
tightly to a stanchion by members of
the crew and dragged back to his
cage.

THE port Of New York has
l. concrete story OF the
passing Of the sail written in her
records Of vessels entering and
clearing. Anditis a convincing
story: for this is the greatest
port in the world, through
which during the fiscal year
1901 there was entered and
cleared total Of 45,OOO,OOO
tons.
During 1900 there were re-
corded at the port Of New York
15.OOO vessels Of all classes,
foreign and cOastwise, Of which
$500 were sailing vessels. For
1901 the total number was
5000, Of which only | 900 were
sails. a sheer falling of in sails
Of onc-half in ten years; during
which time steam vessels IN
creased 3 200. The sail engaged
in foreign trade registered at
New York for 1900 was 2,l0O,
which fell TO LOO for 1911. As
late rs 1903 the coastwisc sailcrs
entering and clearing at this
port numbered 1000. In 1911
thcv had dwindlcd to 40.
Truly the passing Of the sail IS
written large in such figures!
Lying at anchor in the bays
and rivers and alongside the
wharvcs at New York there was
a weekly average Of 300 vessels
during 1901. OF this number
the quota Of sailing ships was
barely thirty-six. As with time
Of passage, 50 with the time Of
discharging and taking on cargo
between the steamship and sail.
The steamer discharges, takes
on cargo, and is away again,
often before the sail has left her
