AN UNREAD REPORT.
The Methods of Barney 5arnato In His
Mining Ventures.

Mining Ventures.
Barney Barnato before the tragic
termination Of his career was widely
known because of his large fortune
won in mining ventures. His rapid
accumulation of wealth was popularity
attributed to luck, but luck of the per-
sistent variety usually rests upon a
more solid basis than mere chance.
An insight to Barnato's methods is af-
forded by an incident recently related
by A. A. Blow, an American engineer
once in Barnato's employ. After an
exhaustive examination Of a mine
whose purchase was under considera-
ton Blow prepared an elaborate and
volumilous report. 1t was accompa-
MED by maps and selections and was
a piece of work of which the engineer
felt that he could be justly proud.
When it was handed to Barnato to
read. however, the latter laid it aside
unopened.
Tell me about It." he said.
Blow proceeded to make an oral re-
port.
Barnato dozed. Finally he exclaim-
ed:
81 employed you because think you
know something about this business.
and do not. Now, l do not want to
hear all of this scientific rot about this
mine. All want you to tell me Is
whether it is good businessT
Blow told him mo"
'Then that settles It," said Barnat>-
"You are willing to accept the respon-
sibility of turning down this property
at the price offered?"
YES" was Blows reply, but
want you to examine the reports, maps.
assays, plans, etc, and see the rea-
sons l have for my conclusions"
"Why should do thls?" Barnato an
quired. you tell me that 1t is not
good business And as l cannot I'M
derstand your report why should
waste my time on anything that is not
good business ?-Moody's Magazine.

A Silver Wedding,

When Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. N. Nelson
they found their home in the hands
of a host of enthusiastic friends who
had gathered to celebrate their silver
wedding. A bountiouS dinner vas
served by the visiting ladies. There
were so many people that they were
asked to fall in line and be supplied
with the good things served after
which they %retreated to the shade of
the trees on the beautiful lawn which
in a short time was covered with
happy groups reminding one of a
Fourth of July picnic.
After about two hours of feasting
the crowd gathered in a circle around
the silver bride and groom while Rev.
p. II. Tetlie in a few appropriate
words presented the congratulations
of the visitors to Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson
closing with the hope hat they
would live to celebrate their golden
wedding. Rev. Olson who united
them in wedlock then gave a short
address dwelling on u few reminis-
cence of the past and expressing the
hope that many years of continued
life and happiness might be given
them. Rev. Tetlie then on behalf of
the assembled guests presented them
with a gift Of $5S in silver as a token
of esteem and good wishes of all.
Mr.. Nelson in a few we'll chosen
words paid a high tribute to his silver
bride for her devotion and in days Of
shadow as well as sunshine during
the past twenty-five years, closing
with thanks to the visitors for their
friendship and good wishes.
The occasion Is one that will long
be remembered by Mr.. and Mrs. Mel
son and their friends and it, is the
wish of the writer that He who holds
his protecting hand over all may add
many happy days to the lives of this
esteemed couple.
