OWE THEIR RICHES TO LUCK
Stories Of Fortunate Miners Who Have
Gathered Wealth From Supposed
Iy Worthless Claims.

1t is strange how often the miner
makes a fortune out Of an abandoned
or almost abandoned claim.
There was such a case at Warn
Yarra, in Australia, in May, 1903. Two
Kingston miners bought an old claim
for song, and found 1t in such bad
condition that ii needed timbering all
through. One wanted to give 1t up,
but the other suggested that they
might try their luck for a day or two.
SO they took some props down and set
to work.
The first nan stuck his pick into
the clay roof to make hole for
prop, and down fell a large stone al
most on his head. But II was not
stone. 1t was a nugget Of pure gold
weighing us ounces.
The richest copper mine In the
world is the United Verde, in Arizona.
1t was originally found by a couple
Of ranchers. who sold il for $4,000 to
two men named Murray and Trimble.
They worked 1t and found little cop
per, and were absolutely ut the end of
their resources when they struck
pocket, not of copper, but silver ore,
which netted them a sum OF $4,000.
They came TO an end of the silver
and abandoned the mine as worthless.
Another man came down from Mon
tana and bought the old claim for a
few hundreds. He struck the real
vein Of copper, and within ten years 1t
made him one of the richest men in
the world. In single twelvemonth
he took out copper valued at $l2,-
100000
famous Mt. Morgan gold mine. The
first owner of the land was Donald
Gordon, who grazed his tiocks above
untold and unknown riches, and sold
the land for s. an acre to two broth
ers named Morgan.
They set to work, and the quartz
PANIED out up to 500 ounces OF gold
to the ton. In 1889 $5,000,000 was dis
tributed to the shareholders. One
shareholder left fortune Of $1l,-
$4,000.
Gradually the gold quartz petered
out, and the Mt. Morgan mine was
supposed to be dead.
Then some clever mineralogist, pok.
ing about the half-deserted works,
realized that there was more copper
than gold. In 1906 the mine was
reborn as copper producer, and a
new process was discovered for ex-
tracing gold from the copper. Today
Mt Morgan is still going strong.

English Judge Declares Them

UphoIds Corporation In Permitting

key Star Of tho Films at the
Tender Ago Of Six.

In hearing case In the chancery
division of the British law courts few
days ago Mr.. Justice Eve expressed
some curious sentiments in regard to
moving pictures. The case was a mo-
ton for an injunction to restrain the
corporation of Shoreditch from permit
ting the Hoxton Public Baths in Pit
field street from being used as cine
matograph theater.
Mr.. Vaughan, in support Of the
motion, said that the baths were In
the same street as the picture theater
of the HoXton Cinema. Limited. The
corporation had found that there was
no use for the bath In the winter
months, and accordingly let 1t for what,
he submitted, was a purpose wholly
outside the provisions of the baths
and washhouses act
The point I'm the case, said counsel,
was whether the purpose was to af-
ford "healthful recreation" which
was legitimate. He submitted that a
cinema entertainment did not come
within this description.
After hearing counsel the Judge
said as to the use OF the word
''healthful," that an entertainment by
means either Of the drama or some
drama was wholesome and salutary
recreation, and declined to stop the
entertainment.

tests proved this pail superior as well
to several makes of so.called sanitary
pals, both in the ease with which il
could be cleaned and in cutting down
the number of bacteria.
Still more satisfactory results were
secured when in addition, the udders
were kept clipped and before each
milking rubbed with glycerine, sweet
oil or vaseline Clipping by itself
helped greatly In keeping the cows ir

the cost of cleaning the animals. a
combination of these various methods
