Willis A. Gates, general manager of the Climax Mining Company, stated yesterday that the force of miners now employed total twenty-eight, eight being added during the week. Later a further increase is to be made, new ground opened warranting this move. ment. The ten stamp mill is running day and night, and while the ore is plating satisfactorily the introduction of two Wilhey concentrating tables has been decided upon. A new l,SOO foot pipe line is also being laid, while other incidental improvements are to be added to the surface equipment. Recent development shows the sul- phide zone to be coming in on the 800 foot level, which necessitates the con- centrating process being installed, but the satisfactory gold values continue and large bodies of ore are determined. The tonnage exposed ln the chutes and ready for blocking out is far ahead of the capacity of the plant, which will be kept running steadily for months to come. Mr. Gates is sanguine over the future of his company, basing this be- lief on the showing made at all points underground, which are decidedly at ractiye.-Prescott Journal Miner.

One of the Largest Hoists
 in the World.

A Butte dispatch says: The North Butte is now producing on an average of 2,5OO,OOO pounds of copper month and is earning considerably more than its dividend. During the past six or eight months the operating expenses have been considerably reduced and ment expects to be in position to further reduce the expenses by the use of electricity. For some months the installation of an electric hoist at the Granite Noun ain has been under consideration and the directors have finally decided to adopt the sugges- tons of General Manager Pope and install the same.
 The exact details have not yet been decided on, but it is understood the new hoist will have a sinking capacity of 1000 feet. Just when the new equip- ment will be installed it is as yet i'm possible to say, but inasmuch as it is generally understood that the Spscu- latOr shaft will be closed down for re- timbering somewhere about the first of the year, it is believed that the new apparatus will be installed before that time. The work of sinking the Gran ite Mountain shaft to depth of 2,S0O feet will be completed early in Sep tember and then connections will be made with the Speculator on the 2,2O0 ?, 400 and 2,S00-foot levels, and the ore will be hoisted through the Granite connection has already been made.

About o'clock in the evening scald two
rounded tablespoonfuls of cornmeal, one
half teaspoonful of salt QeveD, and the
same of sugar, with half a cupful of
boiling sweet milk working these ingred-
tents into a mush. Set this In warm
place until morning. Then stir tea
spoonful of sugar and the same of salt
and one-third as much soda into a pint
of boiling water; add cold water until the
liquid mixture is lukewarm and make it
into a thick batter with flour. Now
add the mush made over night and stir
briskly for minute or two.
Turn all into a close vessel and set 1t in
a kettle of warm water. Great care must
be taken to keep the "sponge" of uniform
temperature. The water in the kettle
should be about as warm as the hand can
bear. Put a plate or saucer in the kettle
under the vessel holding the sponge, lest
the latter should get too hot

Formula for Whitewash

81 am a girl of 10 years old. l like to
read Marion Harland's Corner. I made
the lemon cheese for tarts from the recipe
that Mrs. s. B. K. sent. 1t was fine.
1t makes good filling for layer cake also.
read the recipe last spring in the Cor
ner called White House whitewash, and
1t said 1t wouldn't rub off. Father said
1t was Just what he wanted when he got
his new corn stable built. So I cut 1t out
and laid 1t up. Now that the barn is fin
ished. and he wants it, I can't find it.
Would you please print it again or send
it to me? If you print 1t again You
may keep the inclosed stamp for somebody
that forgets TO put one I'm when she
writes. GRACE N"
A 1s-year-oid girl who can write a
letter like that, and who is actively In
terested in her fathers business must
no go unrewarded. The formula is called
government whftewash, and is as follows:
Slake half bushel of lime with boiling
water; cover during the process to keep
In the steam. Strain the liquid through a
fine sieve; add a peck of salt which
you have dissolved in boiling water, three
pounds OF ground rice boiled to paste
and stirred in while hot, half pound of
Spanish whiting and one of glue. The
latter should have been dissolved by
soaking In cold water and then hanging
1t over a slow fire in a small pot sus-
pended In larger, filled with warm
water. When all the ingredients are in
and well mixed, add five gallons of hot
water and set away for few days, COW
cred, to keep out dust Apply hot, keep
ing the vessel containing 1t over a slow
furnace or set in q pot of boiling water.
There Is no better whitewash than this.
It Is extensively used upon government
buildings and resists the weather nobly
Will not Grace let us know how the
new barn looks after it is treated with
the compound?

tea in compliment to Miss Susie Dexter
and Miss Carrie Lou Darden, who are
to be among the November brides.
A suggestion of Halloween was in the
air all day yesterday, the period that is
devoted to the witches and griffins and
elves that Riley tells about; and the
merry jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins that
adorned Mrs. Darden's tea table were
symbolical of the day soon to be cele-
brated. The decorations which she used
in the various rooms were quite simple; it
was only in the dining room, where sand
wiches and bonbons were served, that the
Halloween notion prevailed. Here the
bonbon table was centered with a big
pumpkin. This was filed with crimson
carnations, banked about tall silver
candelabra whose tapers burned beneath
small jaclx-o-lantern shades. Four single
candles were placed on the table with
similar shades and the bonbons which
filled number of compotes held sweets
emphasizing the crimson and yellow of
the autumn scheme.

of crepe de chine in one of the new lig hit
In which was introduced a becoming
touch of pink and blue. Shadow lace made
q graceful drapery on the skirt. Miss
Carrie Lou Darden's gown was old rose
crepe meteor with pearl garnitures, and
Miss Dexter wore a lovely pink crepe de
chine gown trimmed with lace. Mrs. Dar-
den. Mrs. Hooper and Mrs. Reid were In
black afternoon toiiettes.
In the reception room was stationed the
ice table and a frappe following the yel-
low tint predominant in the decorative
details. Trays of bonbons stood at either
side. Miss Ethel Norton and Miss Edna
Dexter were in charge of the ice. In the
dining room. at opposite ends of the
table, Miss Ruth Norton and Miss Emma
Evans served coffee and tea. Both were
becoming gowned in white lace reception
robes.
In the reception room Mrs. Lucy Miles
and Mrs Richard Johnston welcomed the

then placed a wooden lid on that, set
the keg in a warm place where the sun
would shine on it in the summer and

the fruit was canned, and pour the water
into the vinegar cask. From time to time
as you empty a jar of fruit or a glass of

The question comes up, do these wage

CHARLES REX"
The impression Catherine made upon
the King the first time he saw her is
learned from a letter he addressed to his
chancellor: "Her face is not so exact as
to be called q beauty, though her eyes
are excellent good, and not anything in
her. face that in the least degree can
shoque one; on the contrary, she hath as
much agreeablenesse in her lookes alto
gether. as query (ever) I saw, and, If |
have any skill In visiognimy she must be
as good woman as ever was borne. Her
conversation, as much as / can perceave
is very good, for she has witt enough and
a most agreeable voyce; you will wonder
to see how well We are acquainted al
ready, in a worde I thinke myself very
happy, for 1 am confident our two
humours will agree very well together"
The reader of this letter naturally will
wonder what awesome mental vision
Charles had conjured up, that he should
lay such stress upon the fact that there
was nothing in GATHERINGS face to
"shoque' the beholder.
1t was not long after Catherine made
her home in England before 1t was dis
covered that her attractions for the King
were inferior to those of his mistress
Barbara, the Countess of Castlemaine
whom she was compelled to receive as a
lady of her bedchamber This caused the
first domestic explosion. Catherine out
lived the King close to 20 years.

HOW CHARLES IL WROTE TO CATHERINE

Charles II was one of the gayest mon
archs who ever sat upon the English
throne and his period of lovemaking is
one of the most interesting parts of his
life's history. He had a number of esea-
pades before he had reached maturity.
His first serious love affair may be said
to have been that with the Duchess OF
Chatilon, whom he affectionately styled
"Bablon." He was completely ensnared
by Lucy Walters, whom Evelyn describes
as "a beautiful browne, bolde. but in
sipid creature;" and then came Barbara
Viliers 1t is doubtful if Charles ever
loved her. infatuated he assuredly was
for a time. When that passionate period
passed she governed him by fear-she
was his tyrant before whom he trembled.
But they were closely associated for sew
eral years, and finally it was for love of
Nell Gwyn, the beautiful actress, that
Charles turned away from Barbara.
On May 81, 1862, Charles married Cath
crime of Braganza, daughter of John ~
of Portugal, by which alliance England
obtained possession of Tangiers and Bonn
bay, with the promise of half million
unimportant matter, for the King needed
money. But had he guessed that the chief
part of these golden expectations were
to be realized only in the form of crates
of sugar and spices and jewels which
Catherine regarded as her own property,
he might have thought twice about 1t and
remained IAN old bachelor to the end
of his days.
The following letter was written by
Charles to Catherine on July 2, 1861:
MY Lady and Wife:
ALREADY, att my request, the good
Count de Ponte has set off for Lisbon;
for me the signing of the marriage has
been great happiness, and there is about
to be dispatched at this time after him

would appear necessary; whereby may
be declared on my part the inexpressible
joy of this felicitous conclusion, which,
when received, will hasten the coming Of
your majesty.

ability, being a graduate of the Cincinnati
