Mine Inspector Returns From
Visit to States Mining Camps

Tanned and tired, but enjoying the
best of health, Andy Stinson, mining
inspector, returned last evening from
an official tour that took him to the
ends Of the state and occupied about
thirty days time. During his trip
MIR. Stinson visited nearly every min
ing camp in Nevada and says from
his Investigations and observations
the mining industry of the state was
never in more healthy condition
than at present or did the mines look
better, and were it. not for the tact
that the European war has forced the
closing of number of copper prop
critics the current year would be
banner one from the standpoint OF
production.
When Mr.. Stjnson left Carson he
first went to Wonder and Fairview.
At Doth these points the company
properties are working steadily and
keeping up their average production.
Full forces OF men are employed.
At Eureka, in the Consolidated and
Richmond properties, few men are
at work for the companies, keeping
up development and extracting quite
bit Of ore, but trouble Between the
companies and railroad, which is
long standing, is retarding shipping.
Were these troubles settled Eureka
would be holding up its end in the
way OF production. On Adams Hll
and Prospect Mountain number OF
lcasers are at work getting out and
shipping good grade of ore.
The old camp of Hamilton, which
has stood all kinds OF vicissitudes
during the past generation, is COM
mo TO the front again with its lead
and silver properties and quite
number of men are making big
wages from regular shipments.
The Nevada Consolidated is the
only company that is working full
time at Ely. They are also working
their Ruth property and running
their smelter at McGill to full capac-
ity. The war has played havoc with
the mining industry in the Ely sec
ton, but it is believed there that the
worst is over and that this fall will
see many of the old properties again
in active operation.
At Phoebe both owning companies
and leasers are working hard, devel-
oping and extracting ore. which is
being shipped to the smelters at
Salt Lake. The Yuba Leasing COM
pany. which is operating part OF
the possessions OF the Amalgamated
Phoebe company, is doing lot oi

it is to lose.
A grouchy man thinks he laughs
best who laughs least.
Why does the self made man never
suffer from remorse?
Even a color blind man can tell a

Anyway, a pessinist never bores us

Rather than waste kindness on an
ungrateful man, lavish it on a dog.

Safety first is a good motto, but
too many people wait until it's too late

BY RUTH CAMERON.


All fiction, or rather all that is not
simply parrot talk, is, to some extent,
biography.
An author writes either about his
own experiences and emotions, or
what his own experiences and emo
tions have taught him by analogy.
But some novels are much more
autobiographical than others. Almost
every writer has written one book
which is himself And, to my mind
OF course, you understand that I don't
mean that all the incidents in the
book actually happened to the au-
thor. Far from it. These autobiog-
are more like impressionistic paint
ings.
Take Dickens. I, beliebe David
Copperfield'' is generally conceded to
be his own story. It is also rated as
among the best, if not absolutely the
best, and is certainly the most gen.
orally beloved of the great mans
works.
"Pendennis" is Thackerays himself
book. / have not read enough OF
Dickens to feel that 1 have any right
to pass an opinion upon his writings
but Thackefay is one of my fayorite
authors and I feel justified to
mention the fact that "PendeEnis'' is
to me his finest work. 81
Jane Eyre" which in some of its
incidents is so closely autobiography
as to have aroused tremendous resent.
ment among those whose treatment
of the heroine is described, is certain
ly the best known and best liked of
Charlotte Bronte's books.
Crawford" is enphaticaMy an au-
Geographical book and even learned
critics are unanimous in agreeing
with ordinary readers that nothing
Mrs. Gasken over did, touches this ex-
quisite record of her visits to her old
friends in Crawford (Knutsford in
real life).
Pride and Prejudice" I belive, is
Jane Austen's herself book and is the
most widely read, and, in the minds
of many, the best. Although, since
all her books are pretty much auto
biogra Apply it does not stand head and
shoulders above the rest.
I doubt if there are many books in
whole world more widely reed and
more universally loved than Little
Women" and of course 1 don't need
to tell you that is the closest Kind of
autobiography.
With the authors of our own day
we have no historians to tell us what
is autobiography and what is not. but
it's lots of fun to guess.
sentimental Tommy I feel sure,
is the story of the little boy Barrie.
Bunker Bean is another hero whose
personality seems uutobiographical
for two reaSOns-firstly, because it
doesn't seem possible that anyone
could have imagined such states of
mind and, secondly because he is so
much above the rest of his creators
work.
A magazine which was advertising
it's Willingness to pay high price for
good short stories, named sincerity
the most important quality of a good
story Tenderness, love for ones fell
low-beings, seems to me another Now
these are the qualities that the auto
biographical stories are by their ma
ture richest in. What wonder that we
love them?

Hunter in the American Review OF
Reviews for June, in an article en-
titled, 1.-THE Krupps' Model Town. 1t
might almost be called the German
Arsenal To have the regular work
ing of this great place subject to the
disputes, strikes, and stoppages Incl
dental to industry would be to jeop-
ardize the interests of the Father
land in case of war This was all
the more necessary because of the
extensive growth of the anti-militar-
list sentiment among the working class
of Germany. 1t was, therefore, es-
sential that as many of these draw
backs, or the reasons for them,
should be eliminated. The wife, who
is anxious to keep her husband In
good humor, IS advised to feed the
brute" and the Krupps undoubtedly
went to work on the same principle
in regard their employees. The work
they had for them to do was hlShly
skilled, highly dangerous. and often
very dangerous. They wanted an
army of the most sturdy and efficient
sons of Vulcan,-men
who could always be relied upon for
service. and who would not be suS-
ceptible to the influence and disturb
ances of industrial. or political Ire.
And so the conditions of employment
must be better than anywhere else,
the wages must permit of a hlgher
standard of living, there should be
security for 1ife,-in short, the conol-
lions should be such that it paid any
diseruntled man better to stay right
