Superintendent J. K Hooper of the C. G X. property n the Superior dis trict is quoted as saying that the big three compartment shaft has been completed to a depth of 700 feet and that next week the wOrk O. cutting a station on the 70Ofoot level will begin. It may be that the engineers will decide to drift in two directions from this level. After the station Is cut, work will proceed according to directions of the engineers.
 The cross cut from the fifth level, started some time ago. is we'll along and work on the extension of this GTift will also be pushed.
 There are also i've drifts from the tunnel under way When the juice is on and the water on, work moves along" says Superintendent Hooper. And the pumping apparatus is nov sufficient to take care of the water, and the juice is furnished from the Ray Consolidated power plant at Hay den over the cross mountain tower line, which assures ample juice and a yisible showing will be made each week, henceforth.
 The c. & A. is now working 65 men in the mine and oil assessment work.

Her study and hobby was house decoration.
She had given SO many artistic, practical
suggestions that she often was asked TO

drapery and give advice In decorating. She
thus employed her by-product time and
finally gained such a reputation that she
undertook this as an independent business
Many of the homes Of wealthy residents OF
Chicago now boast Of her work. She gradu-
ated into this business OF her own without
interrupting or jeopardizing her position In
the drapery department.
In a millinery establishment q young girl
was employed who brought delicious Judges
that she made at home for her luncheon.
Other employees to whom che gave these
Judges became SO enthusiastic about them
that at their request she made and sold them
among her co-workers. From time to time
she added other little confections to her stock.
The demand grew greater and greater for
them. Finally. all she could make during her

ness count for a great deal in the business
world.
There have been so many different sys-
TENS Of handwriting In our schools that
we are a million years behind the writing
Of the world 1 trust they will finally de-
eide upon some system and stick to it
Poor writing by applicants is always against
them. and 1t is common enough for an en-
ployer, after an applicant has written his
name. to ask him what he has written
But" perhaps you will say. :" l don't ex-
pect to be a bookkeeper." I don't recon-
mend bookkeeping. but how do you expect
to get your job? Mere handwriting may
get IL or lose It for you. You must have :he
chance to start. You should learn to make
decent figures and write them under each
other SO they can be totaled. You must be
able to do these simple things correctly if
you expect to get anywhere.
Who is the young man who is promoted?
He is the young man who dusts the desk
in the best manner. and the young man who
IL selected for the next promotion further
along is he who is doing his particular work
in the most capable manner in which it
may be performed. The first few places
don't call for much brain work. perhaps
but they give you a chance to develop. When
the time comes for you to do something else
you must have a mind trained to compre-
hend what is told you, what you are doing
and why you are doing it. You must have
an eye on the job ahead of you. Your mind
must advance, it must be receptive, so that
you are competent to do the next thing ahead

Dishonest Young Man Bankrupt.

A business man expects that young man
will be honest II he Is not honest he Is q
bankrupt. II seems to me that young men
have different ideas OF honesty than when
l was younger. They have a habit that they
define as "swiping." They wouldn't steal
money. but occasionally we find them " swip-
ing socks or ties. It is stealing just the
same. Unless you are honest. no matter
how brilliant you may be. you are bankrupt.
There is a larger honesty that is demon
strated in the young man who is not afraid
to work little more than is expected of
him. who doesn't watch the clock. This
kind of young man goes ahead with his
work and does It in the best possible way
that he knows how and isn't worrying about
whether he is given due credit.
Young men should be in good health. Busi-
ness is hard these days and demands that
a man be on the job all the time. You
should be In good health SO your employer
won't have to worry whether Jones is down
today. because he knows that Jones is on
the job. Have a good time. but don't run
around at night at the expense Of your work

full. You'll be q good mixer and 1t Is most

~ began in a western city when one Of
- the largest concerns OF the town de-
cided to instiu into its institution
what II termed " university extern
sion - tactics to bring about better grade
Of workmanship and salesmanship. The
company was one which was, in . way,
dealt daily with thousands Of persons on
matters which were largely technical And
often the kick department was busy.
As a result the managers Of the business
began an Investigation and found out some
things which surprised them. They discov-
cred that while the men in their employ came
TO them from colleges with excellent tech
nical educatons. they were lacking in one
great respect-the knowledge how to deal
with the public. Many OF them had no ad-
dress, no poise, N self confidence. The sales
men. able to explain the slightest detail Of An
electrical contrivance, were unable to put
their arguments before the public In q way
that would be at all convincing. All they
knew were pure technicalities. And SO the
officers OF the company decided to change
things.
The company purchased the services Of a
professor OF rhetoric and elocution, who, by
contract. was bound to give as much Of his
time as necessary to the needs OF the en-
pIoyes. Glass by class they were selected
and hours set aside for their instruction.
First OF all. they were taught to speak cor
recty. Then they were given the rudiments
OF proper address, OF poise. and the knowl-
edge OF how to approach a customer. More
than that, courses of reading were selected
for them that they might broaden them
selves and take themselves out Of the tech
nicaI rut into which they had fallen.
The scheme has worked. Teaching day
after day, the professor has brought about
a change that is wonderful Not only are
the employees more capable but they are more
courteous, FOR the amount OF understanding
between them and their customers is greater.
There are fewer complaints. and there is
more business. And already the idea OF
teaching employees a little more than simply
the technical end of their work is reaching
other institutions.

A Chicago business man had a SO stenog-
rapher. She did poor work on the typewriter.
Her words ran together. She misspelled
words. She punctuated poorly. When she
was reproved by her employer her answer
was always the same.
" It's this awful typewriter she would
say. If had a good machine could Go
good work"
The business man knew that the machine
was old He was fair with his employees,
almost to the point Of being easy" So he
purchased a brand new typewriter.
The day the new machine was delivered
at the office the business man had a visitor.
The visitor was a good friend, a well known
writer. the author Of several popular books
Of fiction.
Why the new typewriter?" be asked
The business man explained how poor the
old one was The typewriting company

authors home ever since.
As for the so stenographer, she made just
as many mistakes on the new machine.
