The orebody itself covers ZO5 acres with an average thickness ot .l21 ft., and occupies a definite bolg which has a northwest direction It's length is approximately 5000 ft The width varies. being about 2.OOO it. at the west end and 2,50O ft. at the east, narrowing down irregularly from both ends to a few fe1t in the center The thickness Of the body varies greatly along the line of lode, ranging from few feet up to 470 ft thick

Alice Herman's Second Let,
ter a Short Story

Dear Juniors:
This is my second time to write to
the Junior page.
I received a lovely postal card and
wish to thank you for it.
l will write a short story this time.
Once there were a man and a woman
who were poor. This man and woman
wished for child for long time. The
man worked hard in the fields The
woman went to the river to wash the
clothes. She looked up from her work
and saw peach. The peach came near
on the water. At last the woman got
the peach and stopped washing and
went home. She was waiting for the
man to come home.
First she kissed the peach. At last
the man came home The woman said
to the man: Il had been waiting for
you for long time. The man asked
her why she had been waiting so long
She said she had sometime for HIM.
She ran to get the peach and knife.
The man began to cut the peach and
just then voice came out of the peach
and said Wait a little bit; have been
your child The man almost fell to the
ground and thanked God. His name is
Peachling.

The Boys School - By Vera
Mabel Snoddy
Dear Juniors:

Dear Juniors:
l am a new Junior. I am going to
write a little story of boys school.
Mrs Black kept a school for boys.
There were six boys that stayed with
her. and two that went in town every
night. Joe was boy that stayed with
her. He was not a bad boy. But ne
told lies once in a while. One day lady
brought Mrs. Black some blackberr1es.
There was not very many. So Mrs.
Black made some blackberry tarts for
supper. When the time came and all
were set down at the table, Mrs. Black
went to get the tarts for the boys. She
was very much surprised to find that
some one had eaten all Of the berries
out of the tars. All the boys said they
did not do it,
They all ate supper and went to bed.
About o'clock Mrs. Black heard
some one crying. She went to see who
it could be. When she found him it
was Joe. He was quite sick. She was
about to call for the doctor when he
cried out and said "Oh, please don't
get the doctor 1t Is just the blackberry
tarts ate them" And he told Mrs.
Black not to tell the other boys. But
1t happened that little Bess was in he
room and she told the other boys. And
they gave him the name of Blackberry

Looking Through the Glass
Ship-By Marjory Burr

I am sending you composition en-
titled Looking through the glass ship.
l have just landed in London. l came
across the ocean in a glass ship. we
travelled under the water Everything
looked so wonderful. We saw fish and
whales and lots of other things can
not think Of The lighthouse looked so
large and the lights shone so brightly.
There is story about mill that
would grind anything you wanted it too
and it ground salt on the ship and sunk
it and we saw that mill at the bottom
Of the sea- The whales looked so large
that they looked larger than they really
were through the glass ship. Our glass
ship was magic and we could make 1t
gold ship or an iron ship or any other
kind OF ship we wanted it to be. We
would turn it into an airship If we
wanted to but we thought we would
rather ride in a glass ship once and
ride under the water There is little
place in the top of the ship and we
had it open and some stars dropped In.
There were enough for just one apiece.
There were sixteen Of us. When we go
back to New York we are going in
gold ship. Then we are coming back
across the ocean in an airship and SO
up and visit the moon. We had very
nice time in the glass ship.

QUEEN vIcToRJA,s DOLLS.

When Queen Victoria was little
girl she deadly loved dolls. She had one
hundred and thirty-t two in all--dancing
girls. lords and ladies. babies and
maids. Each one was dressed in gar
ments that fitted his or her place in
life.
Victoria made the garments of thir-
ty-two of these dolls her very own
self Such fine stitches as she took,
too! Dainty pocket handkerchiefs, a
half inch square, she embroidered with
initials, and drew the threads in the
borders; silk and satin robes with long,
graceful trains; caps and bonnets in
the fashion Of the day. Most wonderful
of all was the wa yshe finished off the
tiny pockets on the tiniest Of aprons.
Why you would surely think they were
meant for the fairies themselves and
1t for simple little wooden dolls.
Many of these dolls are still preserv-
I'll and in the museum, where you may
zee them when you go to L.ondon.-Se-
Eeted.

The Iron Pot ~ A School
Composition By Ruth Crow

Once there lived woman named
Susan Sweetapple. She was proud be
cause she was the owner of pot they
used to boil fowls for many a subject
king during the revolution.
The pot was shown to all the strang-
ers and spoken of with great respect.
Susan would rather lose her two
eyes, believe, than part with the pot
said Miss Abbie Bates. It did seem too
bad, therefore, that a new little girl
should be the cause of the loss OF the
pot. This is how it happened:
One day an old coach stopped IN
front of Susan Sweetapple's door and
a small girl and small box was set
down on the walk. The girl was Miss
Susan's niece. She had come to pass
two weeks with aunt. The girl had on
bennett tied with large bow, and
her travelling cape was very full, SO
to hold out over her pulled sleeves, and
her long ruffled pantalettes just grazed
the ground. Susan said the moment she
saw Joy Brentwood's eyes it seemed to
her that she was born to give her
trouble. Joy broke many articles Of the
household goods. She would not play
with her real doll but would dress a
rolling pin up and play with it by the
hour Joy even broke the flower pots
and with the same hand she broke the
cut glass pitcher. One rainy day she
piched up the neglected doll and asked
her aunt if she could go out in the
kitchen. And her aunt said Eyes"
When she went into the kitchen and
spied the iron pot she got in and stood
up. Pretty soon she got sleepy and she
got her shoulders under the top and
fell asleep. She slept about half hour.
and when she awoke and tried to get
out, to her great surprise, she found
that she could not move. The kettle
fell over and rolled across the floor and
bumped against the wall with thump.
1t was not long till Miss Susan and
Janet appeared. Very much frightened
the two women got the pot on its legs
and Janet went to the blacksmith. 1t
was not long until he arrived. But
they had to break the pot to pieces be-
fore Joy was released from the iron
grip. This breakage seemed too much
for Miss Susan's patience. Joy was sent
home next day in great disgrace and
never went to visit her aunt again. l
think the unhappy incident had the eff
feet of making her a better girl. And l
ought to know for was Joy.

Composition - Mildred
Violet Slutz

Dear Juniors:
l am sending in my first composition
to the Courier Junior. The name Of 1t
is "True Manliness."
One day a house caught on fire, and
the woman and man who owned the
farm had gone away on a visit to stay
a while They had some hired men
working for them and they left them
in charge of the little girl and their
farm. While they were gone their house
caught on fire. Right across the street
lived a poor widow and her son and
he saw the flames and smoke and got
up quickly and dressed and asked his
mother If he might go over and put the
fire out. And she said he might and a
little girl was in the house and every
body was afraid to try and get her out,
The boy went and got her out and
every day he was called true manliness
