The hero is a professional aviator, and
the accounts OF some OF his flights are
deftly done. He marries the beautiful,

the story ends in a police court. The
whole is a novelization of a yellow

talent for direct and natural writing
which might be more happily employed.

with a delightful denouement Its sell
timent is that OF maturity looking bacH
AT the rosy birth OF love, but love may
come at any age, and so the real be-
ginning OF the meaning OF life comes
here to girl Of twenty-six and man
OF thirty-five-to two men of that age,
in fact. At eighteen Katrine Beverly had
vowed to be the life companion OF her
only brother. widowed after six months
OF happiness. Eight years later she
is bored to extinction by her life M
devotion, and her brother struggling
desperately TO remain faithful 10 a
memory while the living are calling
him TO rejoin them and share their IN
terests. And each tries hard to hide
his disillusion from the other. So the
brother, who is an English author
is ready for the coming of Grizel: ana
Katrine welcomes the unconventional
proposal OF correspondence with an
officer in India whom she has never
met, but who has came to know or her
through a mutual friend. Grizel mar
ries the author. Of course; these two
have a curious romance of their own
OF love and a fortune well lost. Anne's
emotional experiences only begin, for
she goes out to India TO meet her cor
respondent, and on the way has her
great adventure. The story has an
old fashioned, simple, straightforward
touch which Is far from unwelcome.

 Two Stories Which Are True

An engineer had returned from an examination for his employer. and the latter had asked him a couple of times if he had completed his report The engineer answered there was no report to complete. All he need say regarding the property was that no son of q gun would ever steal d ride on an ore car coming out Cf that mine
 Another engineer Was visiting a property and there were no holes deeper than what you could jump in and jump out of, and the owner was asking $50.00O for the property The engineer thinking to have little fun. jOcularlY enquiIed if the owner the next morning wouldn't accept S1,000 for his claims. Well" answered the prospector, "I won't let a little diff ference like that stand in the way of :, deal" He accepted the offer. It took quite q little diplomatic per suasion on the engineers part and two bottles of whisky to call the deal off.

The Number of Mines

How many mines are there in the United States? This is question that i% often asked us. As nearly as We can determine there arc about $500 coal mines. Of metal mines there are about 6O00, producing and developing With respect to the metallurgical works we can speak more accurately. There are nine copper refineries and forty five smelteries. There are tW enty-eight lead smelling works. tWenty-eight zinc and 314 iron. There are 159 open hearth steel works and thirty Bessemer works Thus there is a total of SIS mctallurgicaI works O1 the classes herein enumerated.

Roturns to date on ore sent to the smelter by the Iron Cap Copper company during June show total re- ceipts of $9.6O1, with mine expenses of $4.654. leaving profits at $4946 These returns were from fourteen cars of ore, in which copper ran between S.55 per cent, and 1858 per cent, and silver from six and one-half ounces to tWenty-four ounces per ton. the best car yielding $1,33S June profits will be increased by returns from two other cars which have not yet been received. July earnings are expected to be less than those for June be- cause the management has decided to open more ground and pay for same out of earnings.

Colonel Thomas Wccdin is now installed in the land office, and no doubting Thomas can doubt but that he knows the difference between a farm and d mineralizcd area.
