We have heard too much about the

statements: that no man liveth t o him

II preventive medicine is to bestow
on man its richest service, the time
must come when every citizen Will

DUE TO CHANCE DISCOVERY
Scotch Boy Picked Up Piece OF Orr
That Led to Development Of
Rich Copper Mine.

The chance discovery some years
ago by a boy Of a piece OF copper
bearing ore led to the opening up OF
a very promising copper mine on the
estate Of Otter. in Argyllshire. Scot
land.
Struck by the appearance Of the
ore, the boy kept 1t two years, when
he showed it to Mr.. J: s. Taylor, q
mining expert, In Glasgow. Mr.. Tay-
lor prospected the district. and three
rich lodes were opened. The Murder
Lode" has proved to be by far the
richest, and the field was selected for
exploration because 1t was known that
no matter how heavily it was MANFRED
no grass or crop could be got to grow
there. 4 5 :, e
The picturesque name arose through
q local tradition that a curse lay on
the field because 1t had been the scene
Of a fight to the death between two
women. The real reason for its bar
renness was found to be the presence
Of poisonous copper salts.

They rode on to the mine. which.
was only about five miles from For
tuna, without discussing the matter
further; for, while Phil had generally
been the leader, In this particular case
Kruger had put Bud in charge, and
he seemed determined to have his
way SO far as Aragon was concerned.
In the ordering OF supplies and the
laying out OF development work he
deferred to Phil In everything, but for
tactics he preferred his own judgment.
1t was by instinct rather than rea-
son that he chose to fight, and people
who follow their instincts are hard to
change. So they put In the day in
making careful measurements, ac-
cording to the memoranda that Kru-
ger had given them: having satisfied
themselves as to the approximate
locality Of the lost vein. they turned
back again toward town with their
heads full OF cunning schemes.
Since 1t was the pleasure OF the
Senior Aragon to make war OF all
who entered his preserves. they check
mated any attempt on his part to.
locate the lead by driving stakes to
the north of their ledge; and, still fur
Their to throw him OF, they decided to
mark time for a while by doing dead
work on a cut. Such an approach
would be needed to reach the mouth
OF tunnel.
At the same time It would give
steady employment to Mendez and
keep him under their eye, and al soon.
as Aragon showed his hand they could
make out their final papers In peace
and send them to the City OF Mexico.
And not until those final papers
were recorded and the transfer duly
made would they SO much as stick
