Novelist and Professor.

The kins has been pleased to ap-
prove the appointment of Sir Arthur
Quiller-Couch to be King Edward VII.
professor of English literature in the
University of Cambridge.
Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch becomes,
therefore, the second occupant of q
chair formed in 1909 for the promotion
Of the study Of English literature "on
literary and critical rather than on
pathological and linguistic lines"
The appointment, while giving great
pleasure to the novelist's numerous
admirers, comes somewhat as a sur
prise. Sir Arthur is an Oxford man,
who graduated from Trinity college in
1886 to become lecturer in classics at
the same college.-London Standard.

ONE COMPANY PREPARING
FOR ACTIVE OPERATIONS
Manager of the Farmers Mining
Company Gives Out Most
Encouraging Information

IL. Nj. Cooper. general manager Of the
Farmers Mining Company, was an ar
rival from Chicago by fridays train.
When asked il he had any news to give
out regarding the resumption OF opera
tons here by his company. Mr.. Cooper
stated to the SENTINEL that he had moth
ing definite to give out at this time. He
said the work OF making some necessary
changes in the milling plant would go
right along until completed, and he
hoped to oon have the mill ready for a
run. Mr. Cooper wound up his remarks
by saying there would certainly be some
thing doing soon. and that he hoped to
be able in a very short time to give the
SENTINEL some definite information re-
garding the working plans OF the Farmers
Company.
The above information given out by
Mr.. Cooper is most encouraging, for the
commencement Of active operations by
the Farmers Mining Company under a
sA6N ~ 10 OCAtCNCu "a OC
able to successfully treat the ores of the
Silver Conner and other Prospect Mount
ain mines, mean much for the future Of
this district.
With the successful operation Of one
milling plant here-no matter how small
Eureka will not have to seek outside
capital to work her mining properties.
The ores are here, and all kinds of work
ing tests show they contain the values,
and should be worked with profitable
results. So far. they have not been
worked with profitable results to the
stockholders or the good name of this
district. But some day, some time, we
believe. there will be a management found
that will right these matters, and when
that day arrives. Eureka, and all that
that name or word implies will have
come into her own again.
