with seven feet of excellent coal in
the lower stratum. At the bottom
the vein dipped at an angle OF so de-
grees At 2S0 feet this body fattened
out to a width of 20 to 25 feet and
showed eight feet of excellent coal
with the quality steadily improving
with depth. AT $50 feet the main
vein faults. but is not cut of. This
is splendid coal with only Is per
cent ash. At 480 feet In the bottom
OF the shaft there is still another
vein which was cut In the shaft at
S20 feet with seven feet of coal and
the shaft was continued ON its dip to
4SO feet, where width OF eight feet
showed The new shaft, LOO feet
east of No. l shaft. goes down at an
angle of 5S degrees. cutting all the
formations found In the old shaft
with expectations of penetrating the
big vein found in No. / at a depth
of 400 feet. All work is OF the most
substantial character and no time
will be lost in bringing results from
the opening of the main ledge at
depth. The only object in assuming
the expense of sinking the present
shaft was to secure a permanent foot
ing and also to reach a product with
a greater percentage of carbon such
as old coal miners say should be
found away from the broken up meta
morphic rock.
The new shaft Is only three miles
from the tracks of the Tonopah &
Goldheld railroad, and Mr. Darms
iigures on putting on a line of auto
trucks to haul coal to the railroad
as cheaper means of transportation
than by going to the expense of in
stalllng spur track He estimates
that by this means he can deliver $50
tons day on the cars. The Darms
Coal Mining company has been man
aged with the utmost economy with
out any salaries for officers and every
dollar paid for stock has gone into
actual development The company
has 100000 shares In the treasury.

The theory of the Indian cook is
to preserve every essential in the
/ food saved; to allow nothing in the
form of nutriment to escape by any
means of process of preparation.
This accounts for the practice of
wrapping a duck, feathers and all, in
a wad of clay and baking It, or apply
ing the same process to fish.
II is safe to assert that these In
dian girls have inherited all the lore
Of their forefathers and their fore
mothers in this respect, and that the
primitive idea, accented by modern
will result in the concoction of
dishes such as the Berkeley women
who have engaged these daubhters
of the forest never dreamed. The
ultimate will be watched with inter
est, for, II the Indian girl succeeds
In solving the domestic problem and
showing herself capable OF catering
to the taste OF the race that has
crowded her species to the wall
wherever opportunity presented, all
Of us may be impelled to rise NJ
and call her blessed and rejoice
with a JOY unmeasured that our ia
theirs came and took the land Al
a mild sort of prediction we make
the assertion that these girls will
make good and none of us are 81
narrow in our beliefs as to wisf
otherwise. There is only one danger
the sons of the families served ma,
be so delighted that they will con
tract matrimonial alliances to tbs
wrecking of mothers kitchen ar

not to be designated danger, for from
the loins of the Indian woman from
Memphremagog Lake to the statu'
of Sacajawea have sprung men O
, whom any nation might be prou'
and the amalgamation Of the whit
with the North American aborigin
has in many cases proven highl
