0'ant Ledge improvements.
| A little below, north, from the juno
tion of Vandetta and Granite, broad,
new piece of road was built through
the giant cedars by the Giant Ledge
people for the purpose of moving the
heavy machinery ofthe companys new
compressor plant. This plant consists
(, of a frame building, covered with
galvanized iron. 30x50, which will
house the six-foot Pelton water wheel,
the 7-drill compressor and other ma
chinery. The foundations for the
equipment are massive concrete and
will endure for all time. The building
Is half-mile from the railroad track,
and the compressor had to be moved
the entire distance with block and
tackle, a part of the way over marshy
ground. At the time of the writer's
visit the penstock from the flume line
to the station was being installed. The
drop of the water is $50 feet and will
give pressure of 14O pounds.
Change in Construction.
In a former letter the writer stated
that this power station would be locat-
ed at the Granite and Allie shaft. This
was the outline of the original plan
of the flume construction, but was
subsequently changed. and the flume
extended 2940 feet north Of the shaft
in order to get all the energy out of
the water available. Hence, a 4-inch
pipe line will be necessary to convey
the air 294O feet to receiver at the
shaft. This pipe has been ordered
from the east, and is now on the road.
Charles G.. Taylor, manager Of the
company, is personally in charge Of
construction, and he expects to have
the entire plant ready for operation

plus of $150,000. The net earnings for
August amounted to $4,000 and for
September $56,613, this record being
:nade with only 30 men employed in
he mine. The management estimates
that with lead at 4 cents and silver 56
cents, the company could earn a
act profit of 100000 per month. This
record is made possible through the
high value of the ore in silver and the
light expense Of operation. Shipments
will average in value from $40 to $3.50
per ton. One car was recently shipped
from the 300 level that carried 313
:. per cent copper. Another car from
tie 800 returned 1852 ounces silver

cpper.
Mine in Fine Condition.
Development work was steadily car
ried on during the past year with the
result that great ore reserves have
been blocked out and the ore body
proven for a depth Of over 1000 feet
The outlet for the mine is through an
rpraise from the Kellogg tunnel Of the
Bunker Hill, thence by electric haul
age to the mill. The Caledonia is thus
provided with the most economical
means Of delivering the ore from mine
to MILL and Is also spared the expense
Of hosting and pumping which enter
so heavily into the operating ex-
penses Of other mines.

$4,000 900 UNTITLED ACRES.
Vast Arabic Land Of the United States
Which Should Be. but Isn't, Used,

If all the arabic land of the United
States which is not under plow could
be put into one huge farm it would
cover all of the United States east Of
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
According to statistics which have
been compiled by the department OF
agriculture. this vast acreage OF land
that should be used, but is not. totals
So. 100000 acres. which is equivalent
to the combined areas Of the states Of
Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont, Con-
necticut, Massachusetts. Rhode Island,
New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware. Virginia. West
Virginia, North Carolina. South Caro-.
lima, Georgia. Florida. Alabama. Mis-,
sissippi, Tennessee. Kentucky. Ohio.
Indiana. Illinois, Michigan. Wisconsin.
Iowa, Minnesota. North Dakota, South
Dakota and Montana.
According to the same statistics the
tillable land of the United States ac-
tually in crops represents only 311,O00.-
600 acres. about - per cent OF the
1.145,OOO,OOO acres available. This is
equivalent to Il farm as large as the
states of Wyoming. Nebraska. Kansas,
oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana combined.
The lands which while not available
for crops can be devoted to pasturage
and orchards comprise 361. 100000
acres. This equals the area of Texas,
New Mexico. Colorado and Utah.
This gives Il striking account of the
vast territory which still can be used
to feed the hungry millions, not only
Of the United States, but also Of tho
world. In other words, for every 100
acres that are now titled about 375
may be put into crops when the coun-
try is fully developed. - Oswald F..

GOOD FORM.
When Walking on the Street a Man
Does Not Take a Woman's Arm.

0OSo lNOA any VVOuIdu V'h"
1t is not considered good form for q
man to take hold of Il lady's arm in
walking ut any time except to assist
her in a~lighting from a vehicle or over
a crossing or in some place where as
sistance is absolutely necessary.
In walking on the street during the
day Il man should walk beside the
lady, preferably on the right hand,
which will prevent her being jostled
in meeting those going in the opposite
direction, but always OF the outside
Of the walk. He does not take her
arm nor does she take his, unless. as
said, for the purpose of assisting her
in some way.
In the evening a lady may take the
arm of the man she is walking with
that he may be Il support and that they
may the better keep step. but he
should not take hers. The exceptions
are where a woman is feeble or aged
when any support and assistance that
can be rendered should be done in the
easiest and most inconSpicuous fash
ion.

Long ago the days of the week We're
numbered one, two. three. four, five,
six, seven, beginning with the Sab
bath. The custom still obtains among
some modern Greeks, the Slavs and
the Films. A great number Of ortho-
doX Quakers hold to it, and it was Il
common one in the days of the apos-
ties and so continued down to the
fourth century. Orthodox Quakers use
the system on the ground that the gods

MAKING Candles Last.

TO make candles last double the
usual time take each candle by the
wick and give it a good coat of white
varnish. Put the candles away a day
or two to let them harden. The var
nish prevents the grease from running
down and so prolongs the life of the
candle.
