The Mines.

AT the Barnes 8 Mcconnell
mill. where work has been going
on for some time, cutting the
mill shaft to u connection with
the No. 2 shaft, very rich ore has
been encountered in the drifting.
1t is much richer than any of the
drill holes indicated, and this
property will be ready within a
very short time to make some
phenomenal production.
H. n. Temple and associates
of Kansas City have taken a
lease on 4 part of the TOovey
land, and will begin drilling at
once in an effort to find where
the lime joins the ore body.
When they find the lime they
will sink a shaft, develop the
ground and build a mill.
Jim Barnes has made q big
strike on the Whitebird land,
lust south of Blue Mound. The
ore body found there was IS feet
thick, and very rich. Mr.. Barnes
is going to have a shaft sunk
there this spring.

The Election.

Th. weather was cold on cleo
tion day, but Notwithstanding
this fact Cherries stood the
weather we'll in the Third ward,
and VIM. Cherrey ran ahead Of
Charlie Gaines, winning the of
fee of councilman by a vote Of
63 to "a.
In the first ward the cold
weather hit the fruit hard, and
Berry was deferted by Connor
to the tune of SO to %. Of course
a cherry can stand colder weather
than a berry.
In the second ward Gus Lund-
gren defeated o. M. Youse for
councilman by vote of 12O to
ia.
C. H. Smith was elected to the
Board OF Education, having no
opposition. j..
Considering the weather, and
the further fact that it was an
off year, the size of the vote
polled was remarkably large.

A Fine PLAY.

The comedietta. Who's to
Win Him?" presented at the Lii
brary Theatre last Thursday
night by the Seniors of the High
School, was we'll patronized, we
are glad to say, and the play was
a good one.
Every member of the cast was
in the star class, and every part
of the play was interesting.
Howard Haines as the elderly
gentleman acted his part to per-
fectiou, and Marion Nation as
Mr.. Eastwood, was simply ire
sistible. Russell Barnes, as the
old bachelor, brought down the
house on several occasions, and
he was wildly applauded.
The five young ladies in the
play, Ruth Smith, Geneva Mar
tin, Edna Sullivan, Lula Morri.
son and Luella Schloeman, were
a charming bevy, and each acted
her part we'll.
Prof. Twente of course had a
strenuous time holding the class
down to training, but he did his
work we'll.
The proceeds of the play will
be devoted to the purchase OF a
late encyclopaedia.

OUT-OF-DOOR TEA.

A Washington woman who spent part
of last summer visiting in England was
discovered one morning this spring super
intending the planting Of hydrangeas and
rhododendrons in semi-circle around q
tall lilac bush in her suburban lawn.
I'm making a nook for afternoon tea
on the lawn" she explained to her inter-
ested friend. "One of the most delightful
memories of my English visits is the
memory of tea hour out of doors Do

hot buttered toast can taste. out on tho

to note that my big lilac bush casts .

Delicious broiled SQUADS. roast

piping hot when it is served to the in

dish which is standing in hot water.
and this hot water can be reheated
over a spirit lamp If the meat is not
steaming.
An occasional ragout or stew can be
daintily prepared. The meat should be
cut in small pieces and cooked very
tender, and then served daintily sur

oeen indefinite Science has added some
suggestions. but at best they have been
vague and speculative.
America is called the melting pot the
crucible of the races. and We are termed
q mongrel people. Yet among us exists
a white race that We may properly call
Thoroughbred American" Individuals Of
this race are now the objects of dill
gent search instituted by the United
States National Museum
Although not hitherto announced. this
important work was commenced two
years ago by DIR. Ales Hrdlicka, curator
In charge OF the museums laboratory of
physical anthropology. According to his
classification. any individual whose par
ents and grandparents have all been
American-born belong to this ethnic group
whose physical characteristics he has. by
accurate measurements and tests, set
about to determine.
Being eligible for this catalogue. the
writer yesterday presented himself at the
laboratory and volunteered as a subject
for measurement and examination. The
process entailed no discomfort or incon-
venience whatsoever. On the contrary, 1t
proved most interesting, and as a gen.
erous return Dr.. Hrdlicka consented to be
interviewed briefly upon this work and its
related phases.
His specialty-the revelation of our
selves to ourselves-is certainly the most
fascinating study that can enter the ken
Of the savant. And his laboratory is
probably the most interesting Of the many
scientific workshops maintained by the
federal government. 1t is equipped with

Each of these types-the old white
Americans, the Indians and the Ameri-
can negroes-will be represented at diff
ferent life stages. in a series Of life-size
plaster busts sculptured from life masks.
Each series begins with two newborn
infants-a boy and girl. Next are boy
and girl of nine months. and then follow
a male and female Of each of the fol-
lowing ages: Three, six, ten, fifteen,
twenty, twenty-eight, th1rty-fve, forty

Under the doctors directions these

are the only models made full length and
not cast from life masks. The sculptor
visits the homes of the infants parents
and models the little ones while they

reproduction of each feature is so accu-

man-his head his body, his functions.
Although born in Bohemia, of which
fact he is modestly proud, Dr. Hrdlicka
has been in the United States since his
childhood and has been engaged in state
or federal government service since his
majority. After receiving his collegiate
education In New York and his post
graduate training in Paris, he entered.
twenty years ago, upon an extensive
series of anthropological studies. in the
course of which he has investigated the
races of man in Mongolia. Siberia Egypt,
Europe. North, Central and South Amer
lea. For the last eleven years he has
been in charge of the National Museums
division of physical anthropology.

scented in the population of this country
