two hours and more the gentlemen

two hours and more the gentlemen
took turns at calling to the dog from
the collar Of the winze. No answer.
When it was time to start for Yer
ington they decided to call at the
winze just one more time; in answer
to the call this time there came up
from the bottom of the winze a very
feeble whine.
1t was rs feet to the bottom. and no
ladder or windlass, SO 1t was decided
to let Ross down with ropes. Several
men were summoned. and in a stout
sling Ross started; when half way
down the foul air got the best OF him
and he was hoisted to the surface just
in time.
A big oil can filed with fire was let
down into the winze. to clear it of
foul air, but the fire would not burn,
SO some men went after a rugger hose
and a forge bellows. with which to
pump air down.
In the meantime Mr.. Nudge had
worked a piece of onva into a bas-
ket shape, with stays to hold II open
at the top; ropes were fastened to
the corners, and the arrangement was
carefully lowered to the bottom of the
winze. MI. Ross then called to the
dog: Get in. Coally,"
Nothing could be seen from above,
but in the breathless suspense the lis
teners could hear the dog moving
When the slack was taken from the
ropes the men felt a weight, and it was
with intense joy the party saw h i'm
provised hoist come into view with
Coally standing upright therein, his
forepaws resting on the rim as though
he had been traind to the act More
| over the dog was not injured in the
slightest by his fall, although he must
have been completely knocked out for
more than two hours after he took the
plunge.-Mason Valley News.

from India, and also owing to the uns
usually large demand for new silver
coinage from all parts of the British
domain.
If the demand continues to be steady
there promises to be a revival of many
of the silver properties in Nevada.
There is really no way of determining
the profit that a be made from a sill
yer property, because mining and mill
ing charges differ, even in mines that
are adjacent to each other. For in
stance, the Tonopah Mining company,
according to its 18th annual report,
made a profit of 1912 per ton on its
ore. The cost of mining, milling,
freight and marketing the product
was $7.19 e ton. The same cost
to the Montana Tonopah, in the same
camp and OF the same hill, was S7.2S
per ton. The cost per ton to the
Round Mountain Mining company was
$4.41. The profit varies according to
the grade of ore being extracted and
according to the cost of mining and
milling. The cost to the Round Noun
tain is much less than that of the
Tonopah companies, because nearly
all of its ore was taken from glory
holes, and timbering costs were
hardly noticeable.
Until two months ago the normal
spring demand for silver by India was
met by shipments from China, where
silver bullion dealers were sellers of
the metal. This situation has changed
and China is again buying silver, and
the demand from India is steadily in
~creasing. Large buying orders from
London have revealed the fact that,
contrary to general belief, no consid-
cradle accumulations of silver are
available In New York. Their seems
to be no doubt, however, that it is
being held by some persons for a fu-
lure rise.
The big copper companies which
produce silver as a by-product have
disposed of the larger portions of
their holdings and stocks OF the white
metal in their hands are said to be
down to the normal basis. The out
put of the Cobalt mines is at present
below normal, and because of other
difficulties there are no large quanti-
ties Of silver in Canada. Mexican

HERE'S A DOG WITH SENSE

When 2. J.. Ross and r, c. Nudge

the former took his pet bull dog,
"Coally"; the story writer Would add,
"and thereby hangs a tail"; we can
not %truthfully so say. for Coally has

But Coally did a stunt-that sounds

with dog sense.
While taking some measurements

of the tunnel, Mr.. Nudge and MI. Ross

Silver producers are predicting a
further advance in the price of the
white metal and are basing this pre-
dicton upon the curtailed production
and increased demand from foreign
points. Spectators are said to be buy

sipated advance. The tone Of the Lon

creasing demand from India. The re-
