Strong Mine Has Large Profits.

A Cripple Creek, Colorado, dispatch says:-The Strong mine, the heaviest and richest producer-when it's limited acreage is taken into consideratlon-in the district, will shortly be mining ore at it's deepest level, the twelfth. where the station has recently been cut out. Drifting has commenced and develop ments at this horizontal plane, S,556 feet above sea level, will be watched with great interest. The workings are dry, due to the deep drainage tun. mel, and proves it's drainage efficiency, when it IS remembered that pumps were kept in operation for years at the main shaft where the water level in 1903 by actual measurement stood at S,9S4 feet above sea level or approxi. mately TO feet below the cellar of the shaft.
 The Strong mine, as shown by the U. $. patent, contains but l-2 acres, and in tho first ten years of the con- pany's corporate exlstance, 1t is a mat ter of record that 2,475,00O$ had been paid to the few stockholders of this close corporation, headed by William Lennox of Colorado Springs, as presi- dent. No dividend statistics have been made public since that date, although It is generally conceded that the mine has made both heavier and richer pro- duction, warranting the statement that dividends on the basis of one mil lion dollars an acre have already been declared and paid to date.

Coughs that Prevent Sleep

These coughs arc wearing and if they hang on, can run one down phys ically and lower the vital resistance to disease. Bob Ferguson, 3l9 Pine St., Green Bay, Wis, writes: 1T was greatly troubled with bad cough that kept me awake nights. Two small bottles of Foley's Honey and Tar Compound completely cured me-" This medicine is equally good for croup, whooping cough, measles cough, and for the chronic coughs of elderly peo- pie. It is soothing and healing and stops tickling throat. Sold by H. H. Watkins, druggist.

Mining a Legitimate Business.

The success which has been met in the operation of the great mining con- panies of the world can, in the ma jority of cases, be traced to the con- mon sense which was exercised in the business management. The business of mining IS legitimate. If mining is one of the basic industries of the world, how could the operation of a real mine be anything but legitimate business? The mere fact that there have been neat opportunities for, and the practice of, fraud h the growth of this tremendous Industry does not by any means argue that the whole thing is founded upon unstable premises The Bu mess of Mining

Guarding Against Group,

The best safeguard against croup is a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar Compound in the house. P. H. Ginn, Middleton, Ga, writes: "My children are very susceptible to croup, easily catch cold. I give them Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and in every in- stance they get prompt relief and are soon cured. We keep it at home and prevent croup." Use it also for coughs, colds, hoarseness, tickling throat, bronchial and lagrippe coughs. It con- tains no opiates. Refuse substitutes. Sold by H. H. Watkins. druggist.

Enormous Copper
 Deposit m Chile.

Pope Yeatman, who is now visiting Chile Copper, the Guggenheims' steam shovel property at Chuquaicamata, Chile, sends word that Chile Copper has more than doubled it's ore reserves since the first permanent financing was under taken a few months ago. Diamond drills have proved up over 200, ,000,000 tons of ore, which, how ever, do not measure the possibilities of the property, says the New York Mining Age.
 Development work has been extend ed west of the original ore body to a point 800 feet west. A hole was put down and was still iu orc at 1, 100 feet. The Guggenheim interests believe that the property will be the largest h the world.
 The company has been financed for the next two years. With an author, ized issue of l5,OOO,OOOS convertible bonds the management arranged for ioOutC hCCuo up lO tuC pOluU Ol pIO- duction. Just how many of these bonds have actually been sold is not a matter of public record, but officials state that as the development and con- struction work progress. the necessary funds will be available from proceeds of this issue.
 The plans under construction calls for an initial unit of 10000 tons daily, with the works so laid out that they can be increased in capacity when de. sired.
 Cheap mining costs will prevail. ac- cording to official predictions One of the favorable factors will be a small stripping charge, as the camping. where it does exist, is shallow. In many parts of the property, however, no capping at all is found.

To Foreclose AIaska-Ebner,

It is probable that foreclosure sale of all the property of the Alaska. Eb- ner Gold Mines Company will take place this month. The company owns control of the big Ebner gold mine which was recently taken over under working option by the U. s. Smelling Refining and Mining Company. The mlue adJoins the Perseverance mine of the Alaska Gold Mines Company. If the foreclosure sale takes place, the Ebner mine will be sold at public auction.
 Initial steps have already been talk en to wind up the affairs of the Alaska Ebner corporation. Hearings have been held before special master to determine just what stands behind the pany's bonns. There have been actually sold bonds of par value of 466,000$. Over l00,O00S of bonds is ar present unaccounted for. There ex ists trust company certificate for l,6l5, ,000S of bonds.
 During the month of October the U. s. Smelling, Refining & Mining Con- pany drove the tunnel on the Ebner property in Alaska distance of about 400 feet, thus extending it to length of 2,l0O feet from the mouth The total length when completed is esti- mated to be 5000 feet. It is expected that the tunnel will have been con- pleted by the end of Decem Der.
 If the development work now being carried on by the U. s. S,nelting proves up sufficient values, the Ebner mine will be put up for sale at public auction and the U. $. Smelling will have to bid for it in competition with other possible purchasers. However, U. $. Smelling will lose nothing since they are entitled to receive payment upon receivers certificates for all moneys which they have expended up- on the tunnel and development work on the property. The option of U. s. Smelling on the property extends to March 1915. Between 2OO,O0O$ and 3oO,OO0$ will be spent bv the U. s. Smeltlng company in developing the property.-New York Mining Age.

Then with pair of coarse needles knit

in having Il variety Of colors, by Judi

tionery. They are not only serviceable.
but have the added merit of washing

cept pink. As most of the strings now
in use in the shops are white the ends
of the rugs can be made any desired
color, either by dyeing or by making
of balls of solid color, costing about
cents apiece
Another economy consists in saving
all the odds and ends of soap except
ing the coarsest kitchen kinds. When
you have about n quart put on the

respects the most remarkable the coun-

as II all ablebodied citizens simply
went about in professions TO attend

The great oddity Of the campaign
was the log cabin. the coon and the CT

mated with an opposition paper which
had said Sightingly that William
Henry Harrison better go back TO In

The taunt was taken up by Harri-
sons followers. Log cabins sprang up
all over the Union In every town
there was house warming and the log
cabin was thrown open 10 the public
