Moleskins have been extensively
used in this country during the last
few years in making fur garments,
and practically all Of the supply has
been imported from Europe. In the
belief that the common mole of east
ern United States produces fur of
equal value, skins we're submitted to
professional furriers, who stated that
the quality is. superior to the foreign
PRODUCT. A report on the economic
status OF the eastern species was pub
lished during the year. The mole in
habiting the northwestern coast is
larger than the common eastern spe-
cies, and a number of these have been
collected in order to obtain a report
on the quality of the pelt. If the tex
ture of the fur proves to be as good as
that of the eastern animal, there is no
reason why trappers should not secure
a good income by capturing these ami
mails, as the area they inhabit is ex-
tensive. In many localities an acre
of ground supports as many as hun
bred individuals. If this little animal
can be profitably trapped for its fur
the problem of freeing agricultural
areas from it will practically be
solved.

CHAPTER XII
"A PASSED. Of MeddIers."

Angy's secret hope that Abe would
change his mind and abandon the
projected trip to the beach remained
unfulfilled. In spite of the fact that
cold weather suddenly descended on
the South side, and the bay became
first "scummed' over with ice, and
then frozen so solid that all its usual
craft disappeared. and the "scooters"
took possession of the field.
ABB and Samuel held stubbornly to
their reckless intentions; and the sis
tiers, sharing Angy's anxiety, grew so
licitous almost to the point of active
interference. They withheld nothing
in the way OF counsel, criticism, or
admonition which could be offered.
"Naow," said Mrs. Holman in her
most commanding tones at the end of
a final discussion in the big hall, on
the evening before the date set for de-
parture, "ef yew're bound. bent an

retorted, that during the last week she

nine Fl. OF ORE
IN ATLANTA Mine
PROPERTY WILL PROBABLY BE.
GIN SHIPMENTS IN NEAR
FUTURE

Nine feet OF ore IS exposed in the
prospect raise recently started above
the north drift from the branch west
crosscut on the 1750-foot level of
the property of the Atlanta Mines
company. Three feet of the ore on
the hanging wall side gave assay
returns last night of $50 per ton, the
remainder of the showing carrying
milling grade values.
A sharp turn in the shale footwall
caused the drift itself to slightly
penetrate the latte hanging wall,
leaving only about two feet of the
vein in the face. The vein is, how
ever. wider and the drift will be
turned to follow it. Car samples OF
the ore. as broken down yesterday
from the raise and drift face gave
average values of 1923 per ton. The
out put of the two workings is being
saved and shipments from the prop
erty will probably begin about the
first of the new year.

iiiy NssOcthtcd fFcssD
LONDON, Jan. A general cen
sus of Belgian refugees in England
has been ordered that King Alberts
cabinet may know where the Bel
gians subject to military service are
quartered
Il has been estimated that 10000
Belgians of military age came to
England, but such estimates are nee.
essarily inaccurate. In the rush
from Antwerp and Ostend It was i'm
possible to keep any accurate rec
ords. Many of the refugees who had
money came independent of any or
ganized agency and consequently the
governments OF Belgium and Eng
land have no knowledge of their
movements.
The employment OF Belgians in
England has raised many stubborn
questions Relief committees have not
encouraged Belgians TO accept EN-
ployment where they would compete
with English labor and there has
been studied effort on the part OF
English committees throughout the
island 10 prevent Belgians from ac'
cepting lower wage than that or
dinariy paid to Englishmen or Eng
lshwomen.
In France the refugees have almost
invariably found employment, espe
cially the men of all ages. The
Frenchmen have nearly all gone into
the service, with the result that Bel
gians who have any knowledge OF
railroading, bridge building, electrical
construction or engineering work Of
any sort are instantly put to work.

Editor of Bonanza:

Sir: Nevada is to be the object

for the eext few weeks. If success
full, it will place Nevada in the rank
of blue law" states DR.. G. l.. Tufts.
representing a Sunday rest organiZa-
tiGn, is directing the effort in favor
OF the law. Literature is being sent
out from headquarters at Reno and
petitions are being circulated to be
presented at the next session of the
Legislature As outlined by DR.. Tufts,
the proposed law is practically copy
of the lone Gays rest in seven bill'
defeated in California at the last
election That the law Is a religious
law is evident, for "the bill exempts
from Sunday closing all necessary
business and continuous industries, 4"
exempts those who observe another
day as "a day of rest" II would
compel the observance of Sunday
by all others. 1t is said that If the
Sunday observance were left out OF
II that there would be nothing left
In It.
Advocates of the law claim that it
is in the interests of the working
men and women. Labor leaders are
finding it hard to decide how the law
will be of benefit to labor. as there
would be almost as much Sunday
labor under its many exemptions as
is performed at the present time.
Some of these exemptions have
aroused considerable conjecture. For
example, Lunch counters, hotels and
restaurants could continue business
on Sunday, but baker would be
liable under the law for selling a
loaf of bread A paper published
seven days week could be sold on
| Sunday, but paper published less
than seven days week would be
denied the privilege This would be
an inducement to publish Sunday
paper, thus placing premium on
the evasion of the law Manufacture
/ ing butter and cheese could proceed
on Sunday, but it would be a crime
to sell pound of either.
This law would also close grocery
dry goods and other mercantile
stores, saloons, barber and butcher
shops. workshops. mills, mines ant
factories. Opposition to any such leg
islation is developing and an inter
esting time at the next session of the
Legislature is anticipated. Opponents
of the measure say it savors of thu
spirit of the dark ages" They de
clare also that this enlightened ag'
has outlived the spirit Of intolerance
that dictated in matters of con
science They point to the fact tina
Nevada's constitution now guarantees
to all the right to worship, or not t
worship, as the conscience may di
rect, and that all are assured thu
equal protection of the state in thei
religious views and worship, as lonl
as they do not interfere with thu
equal rights of others.
