SWALLOWS ARE VERY BOLD
One Builds Nest In House and An.
other Establishes Home on
Electric Light Lamp.

A very curious instance of boldness
in swallows was recorded in 1886
from Ceylon. In this case the birds
built over a lamp in the dining room;
what made their choice of site more
remarkable was the fact that the
lamp could be raised or lowered by
counter weights and the connecting
chains auctually passed through the
mud walls of the nest.
Occasionally the bird selects a nest
ing site which invites comparison with
the boldness of the robin. In July last
pair of swallows took advantage of
the open window of an unoccupied
bedroom in a house at Felmersham in
Bedfordshire to begin building their
nest on the curtain rod of the bed.
The return of the owner of the
house and his occupation of the bed
did not in the least disturb or alarm the
birds, which completed the nest and
brought off three nestlings within
seven weeks of the house owners re-
cupant of the bed when flying in and
out of the window feeding their
young; but the hen bird would fly on
the nest If any one entered the room
during the daytime.
Three years ago pair Of swallows
built their nest on top Of the shade Of
an electric lamp which hangs outside
the asylum at Marlborough, near

JUST AS GOOD oP-
PoRTUNITIES AS EVER.

1t is not possible that all the good
hills. One only need point to the
WAR Dance in proof of this. Much
virgin ground still remains which
may have the best of ore bodies. 1t
is not impossible that somewhere on
the surface can be found as good in
dications as ever led the old miner to
sink his pick into the ground. All
sorts of good things are possible in
a mining district. That old Gilpin has
held out SO long is because the ore
was here and much still remains to
be uncovered. The fissure nature Of
the country is an assurance of per-
manency that should not be overlook
ed. There is much to guide the min
er in his quest for ore. There are
many places where the best of indi-
cations prevail. These followed, the
new investor should land in easy
street within a comparatively short
period.
There is no real best way of go
ing about mining in these hills. Hay
ing a bit of fore knowledge and a
vein already exposed, or good indica-
tions. hard work and some money to
get things started, results of a dol
lars and cents value should come in
with the works progress as the vein
is followed and extracted.
A concentration of the mineral is
always advisable where it is low
grade. This in a measure can be ac-
complished by running the ore
through one OF the stamp mills.
There is certain to be returns on
the plates, the crushed ore then con-
centrated. that which remains ship
ped to the smelter. This system is
pretty generally adopted and has Civ
en- considerable satisfaction to the
rounding.
There are just as great opportuni-
ties as formerly. The outlying sec
tions are fully as capable Of produc-
ing mineral as the district surround
ing this town. The ground in the
hills might prove better than here.
They have not been fully put to the
test, except in few instances and
these proven to possess large and
rich ore bodies that will keep alive
the industry for many years, owing
to their extent and the great amount
OF ground owned by their operators.

There are many good things offer
