Much of the new art jewelry which
is deservedly popular is inexpensive.
Modern skill can achieve such excel

often those who can afford the real

Many of the novelties shown in the

style as the fashions they supplement.
and to buy expensive specimens would
be needless extravaganza.
Some of the daintiest imported neck
laces are Bulgarian styles in handsome
beads. Necklaces Of beads are also
made up in Indian and other barbaric
designs. These initiate the ornaments
worn by the peasants in the eastern
countries. All Of the necklaces have
more or less elaborate pendants.
Neckbands are again worn. and
handsome jeweled slides are made to
ornament them. A white neck never
looks so white as when in contrast

Very attractive are the new jeweled
bands with pendants which are worn
as corsage ornaments. A handsome
ornament of this kind consists Of a

Effect Of Fresh Manure.
Where Improvement of the mechan-

and well rotted manure to light soils.
Where prompt action Of the fertilizing

will probably be obtained by applying
fresh manure to the light soils. al.
though excessive applications In this
case should be avoided on account Of
the danger Of burning out" Of the soil
In dry seasons. Fresh manure has
forcing effect and Is better suited to
early garden truck. grasses and forage
plants than to plants grown for seed,
such as cereals. or to fruits. Direct
applications to root crops. such as sug.

often prove injurious. The manure

BARKER PRODUCT OF
MILL HIGH GRADE
Company Shipping Good
Crude Ore, as Well as Lead
Concentrates.

a car of concentrates from the Bar
ker property in Montana, a Gunn-
Thompson proposition, has been re-
ceived at the International smelter, the
value Of which is 39.5S per cent lead,
Sd ounces silver and 0.03 ounces gold.
A car Of crude ore settled for q few
days ago averaged 55.S per cent lead
and S7,6 ounces silver. Shipments Of
both crude ore and concentrates are
being made As quickly as the several
teams can haul the same, but both the
mine and the mill are producing much
faster than the teams can take care OF
the product.
Inasmuch as the Barker is located
we'll in tho hills of Montana, many
might draw the conclusion that summer
is the better ore shipment season, but
the contrary IS the case. With the win
ter SHOWS the wheels give way to run
ners, and double the tonnage can be
transported by the same teams as Il
result. Shipments at the present time
are only about two-thirds of what they
should be, and the coming winter is eN-
pected to be the best harvest season
this company has over enjoyed. There
are over 1900 tons of crude ore and
concentrates now accumulated at the
mine and mill, all of which will be for
warded to the International smelter as
fast as possible.
Mine developments are reported ex-
tremely favorable, and results are fully
up to the predictions made a year or
more ago by the late George E. Gum,
who always regarded the Barker as one
of the most satisfactory prospects he
