THE WEST FOR THE WEST

The percentage of mining proper
ties undergoing development by strict
ly western capital shows a notable
increase and means that more of the
proceeds of mining will remain In
the West to help Wpbuild the indust-
ries in this favored section. Western
investors have at last begun to real
ize their folly of the past in letting
slip many attractive oppOrtunit es
that We're secured by eastern people,
who reaped large rewards in gold.
Once get the westerner aroused and
started toward a goal and sem ething
worth while is liable to happen. He
undertakes any project with the grim
determination to win and is not cas-
lily swerved frCm his course. There
fore, his large entry into the mining
situation is bound to cause results
that will make the community "sit
UP and take notice." His activity is
already denoted in various quarters
New mining camps that may ulti-
mately rival Tonopah, Goldfield and
Cripple Creek are in process of devel
opment throughout .he West. Strikes
Of considerable magnitude have been
made in numerous districts; and
these finds have acted as lodestones
to attract the ever energetic prospec-
tors, with the result that the scene
of nearly every rich discovery is be-
ing prospected by men who know
their business. If there is mineral to
be found, they are very likely to find
it.
When two or three properties ev
entualize into large producers they
give camp worldwide fame and at
tract new capital for exploration pur-
poses. A resulting creation of addition
al shippers is practically certain to
follow, until the aggregate output of
the camp becomes so great as to oc
casion wonder, bes des exciting the
envy of less fortunate localities. Many
embryo camps even now have Great
ed quite stir in mining circles and
their future is regarded as particular
ly promising. Unheralded Cressons
still lie hidden in the heart of the
Rockies.
At no time in the past has optim-
ism been more prevalent in the west
ern mining field or better justified.
Almost any kind of a strike of low
grade ore spells money for the find
er. In exceptional Instances ore run
ming as low as 50 in gold to the ton

young women have any particular episodes that would make or mar hap plness; anything the other would de- sire to know about. They start off on the journey of welded life with devo- tion, confidence and loves ambition. It never occurs to the newly-wedded pair that they must face fearful ob- stacles in the future-the "lor better or for worse' part which tie minister had read impressively to them at the al- tar. To them, the days were to begin and end in a halo of golden glow. Hard lines should not cast shadow for their dear lives to rue over.
 Young men who have made up their minds that they have found the only girl they could ever love, and have hastily decided that the knot should be tied without informing friends far and nesr, find themselves peculiarly handicapped now and then. One of many odd cases in which bridal rec ords after being made public, proved narrowing revelation, was situation that was trying. A letter came from rich maiden aunt to her nephew, who lived in another state. Frequent ly she sent him money, helping him literally, as he was beginning busi- ness. She had besought him not to marry until she had recovered from poor health. Unexpectedly she wired him it was important that he must come and travel with her few months, her physician advised.
 What in the world was he to do? It was no time to broach to a sick aunt the fact he had a loving, clinging wife. He appealed to friends, who helped him by sending her a paper containing his bridal record. Con- trary to his expectations, aunt tele- graphed her congratulations. The bri- dal pairs visit proved a new lease of life to her.
 A safeguard, this sometimes is, to rivals who would win fair one whom after inquiry, bridal records show to be mot in the market" It is as well telltale of age, of the years wed, par entage, and other items of importance. If they part, it can never be effaced. It binds them sacredly.
 Fortunes have been found by tracing bridal records for husbands names and business. Joyous is the day when bride and bridegroom bend over the marriage record and see their names enrolled in wedlock.

Greeks Treasured AIyssun1.

Ancient Greeks thought the ances- tors of sweet alyssum had some pow CT to stop hiccoughs; also to cure mad dogs. If the Greeks were right. the flower has changed somewhat. About the cnly thing it is used for now is to decorate a garden border, q window box or a hanging basket. It does more than decorate, too. It's fragrance has made it a favorite of the bees, and also given 1t it's name.
 The flower has another namemad wort; so called, probably, from the Greek belief that it cured dogs of their madness. It grows low, with tiny white blossoms in spikes at the tops of the stems.
 Flowers of the alyssum are not an white. There is one variety with bright yellow flowers which blossoms early in the spring.

Delay Cartridges.

A safety feature for those engaged in blasting is the use of what is called delay" cartridges, which enable a plaster to count all the holes in a round and make sure that all have gone off. In the first hole an ordi nary blasting cap is put. The second hole is fired by delay blasting cap the third hole by second delay blast ing cap, the fourth hole by third de lay blasting cap, and so on. All the caps are on the same circuit, and all are ignited by one operation of the blasting machine. The delay caps fire the charges in order, and with suffi cient interval between explosions tc permit of counting the shots, so that the men doing the blasting can tell absolutely that every charge has gone off before they return to the cut.

That's love.

It is nature that man should seek mate. From the time youth hears his early twenties his heart grows susceptible to feminine charms. It is not hard, or cold; that comes with knocks about the world, being disap- pointed in women, seeing one idol after another turn to clay. He never loses faith in the belief that some day, be it in the crowded streets, in the church, at the home of friends, some where he will see the one who appeals to him so strongly that the thought will flash across his mind that life would be complete if he could win her for his bride. He may be entirely among strangers, with no one to make him acquainted with the maiden who captivated his fancy. But what man has found the path of true love always smooth and accessible. Difficulties make the right kind of a man the more determined. It is only he who has led rollicking life, witE more shadows than sunshine in it, who finds the way blocked and guarded. The average young man has no trouble in smooth ing out the way for himself If he has led the life of the majority of young sters of city, town, or even of hamlet, he has been forced to go to Sunday school whether he has had an incli- nation. for it, or not. This has brought him in contact with the good people of the community. From the
