VICTOR COPPER DIRECTS WORK
 ON BIG LEDGE

The Maynard mining district in the Wallapai mountains is coming to the front rapidly as a copper producer. The Victor Copper company, owner of $50 acres in this district, is energet- ically pushing development work and is having the most encouraging re- suits. The principal efforts of the management is now being concentrat- ed on vein of copper ore 25 feet in width. Upon the advice of Mir. James !C. Ray, the noted geologist, whose services have been retained by the Victor Copper company, at least $25,- 900 will be spent in opening up the property at this point. The miners are now working in ore, and it is ex- pected that the property will have been brought into the producing class long before the amount mentioned has been expended. The ore is a chalcopyrite, a very rich member of the family of copper ores.
 In addition to the vein that is now receiving attention there are other veins ranging in width from 10 to 50 feet. These all contain an excellent grade of ore, so far as determined, giving the impression that the major portion of the immense estate will be found to be underlaid with conner cial grade of copper ore.
 In addition to these enormous veins of copper ore paraileling each other through the property, there is a good sized vein of gold ore having values averaging close to $35 to $40 to the ton. This is what is known as the cross-vein, seemingly a branch of one of the copper veins, although it ap- pears to be intimately associated with the porphyry dyke that traverses the property from end to end. The gold vein can be traced the entire length of the Gold Summit claim, distance of 15OO feet.
 In addition to its valuable holdings in the Wallapais, 12 miles from King man, the Victor Copper company has acquired 250 acres in the heart of the Jerome-Verde district at Jerome, Ari- zona, which is now the center of a mining and stock boom such as Ari- zona has never witnessed. This acre age joins the United Verde Copper company, for which Senator Clark of Montana refused S1OO,OOO,OOO. It also adjoins the Jerome Victor and the United Verde Extension, the latter perhaps being in the public eye to a greater extent than any copper com pany in the world. The unbelievable performance of the stock of the Unit ed Verde Extension in rising from a few cents a share to above so a share in less than 12 months has made the mining world gasp, and was really the cause of the wild scramble for Jerome property that is now on.
 The pre-organization stock of the Victor Copper company was soon ab- sorbed by investors and the company is now offering 5OO,OOO shares of it's treasury stock at 50 cents a share. There is no abatement in the demand for this stock and it would not be sur prising if the prices would be ad- vancad materially long before this of- fering is exhausted.
 The company's entire holdings are being surveyed and typographical maps are being made.-Chloride Her ald.

WHITE SOX ON THE RISE-CAN
PASS DETROIT THIS WEEK
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Displaying some of their natural
mechanical ability, the White Sox
have shot by the 500 mark and seem
destined for a place in the first divi-
sion in short order. This in spite of
the fact that two regulars, both hard
hitters, are on the bench with in
juries.
Whipping Cleveland three times in
four days is no mean feat. And the
work of the pitchers, pitted against
the Indian cIOuting array, has been
remarkably effective. Cleveland
made but two runs in the game taken
from the Hose and that defeat should
not be charged against the boxmen.
Russell, Williams and Benz have
been stout performers in recent
games and it is probable the two
sOUthpaws will find plenty of en-
pIOyment in the future. Nearly every
club in the league boast an attack
composed of left-handed batsmen,
the variety against which pOrtsiders
have their best luck.
Joe jackson continues to head the
attack. The Dixie Flyers recent en-
deavOrs with the stick have been
nothing short OF sUperhuman. It is
some time since he has gone through
a game without padding his average
by two hits and the vast majority of
the wallops have been leading fea-
lures Of the Hose scoring activities.
Felsch and Weaver are also doing a
bit of hitting and Jack Fourier has
made some strides forward. Ed Col
Inns continues to be below his mark,
but is advancing some.
Won Kolnitz gets his first chance
on the South Side lot this afternoon.
In the two Cleveland games he took
care of his fielding duties in toppy
fashion and hit the ball hard eight
times. Two went safe, a double and
single. This excellent showing may
result in the newcomer being res

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. August 12.-It is pleas
ant news to hear that the French thea
ters are open. AS far back as June,
Paris was more excited over the
ballet costumed by Jeorges Lepape
than it has been since Bakst and his
Russians.
This ballet, called LAge dor. in
which animals have a speaking part,
is said to be the reason for the amaz-
ing use rabbit on all the new French
gowns. 1t may be that later the French
designers will take up some Of the
minor points of Lepape's costumes, but
at present they are turning their at
tention to other plays as a means Of
showing off their new creations.
AS far as the opera houses are con-
cerned. there are no new fashions to
CLEAN there. for That's" and Carmen"
which are at the Opera Comique and
the French Opera House, have never
been held as mannequins for good
clothes.

No, sir, Buster was too frightened to be
polite; he was in too much Of hurry.
The wits of Paddy the Beaver work
ed quickly. They always do. He didn't
have to stop to think to dive. He just
dived without any thinking, and by the
time he could do any thinking he was
safely out of the way OF Buster Bear.
At the first splash Buster made as he
headed for the shore the Quack family
started to swim out of the way. But
Buster Bear was coming too fast for
them to get out of his way in that man.
ner Mr.. Quacks wits just opened his
wings and sent him up into the air like
a rocket. He didn't stop to think to ny:
he simply flew. 1t was the one sure
way of getting out of Buster Bears
way. Mrs. Quack did the same thing
and the ten young Quacks, now almost
as big as their parents, like dutiful
children, followed.
1t all happened in just a little min

as he dashed through the rushes to the
shore and disappeared in the Green
Forest. running as If he never would
stop. In no time he was quite out of

Table Color Decorations,

IN carrying out a color scheme for a
luncheon or dinner it is not wise to
try to stick to II too closely SO far as
the food is concerned. but rather TO
suggest II. For instance, in violet
and yellow scheme. in the first course
the yellow may be suggested in an
egg yolk sarnish and the purple In
ripe olives The custard in the SCUM
should be yellow. as well as the sauce
with the fish. the orange cup for the
salad and the yellow dressing.
Purple sweetpeas form a beautiful
table decoration. as do pansies or vio-
lets. Many summer flowers may be
found to carry out this color scheme
and may be used in decorating the
place cards. which may be lightly
tinted yellow. with a spray of the
chosen flower. Nut baskets could be
tied with little bows OF yellow or
purple ribbon and covered with either
color Of crepe paper. II another salad
than orange were used. an orange ice
could be served. and little cakes deco
rated with candied violet leaves would
further carry out the color scheme.

go days and days and days without
meeting any real danger. But with the
Little People it is different. Right when
they think themselves safest they are
likely to have to use their wits and to
use them quickly to save their lives.
That is one reason why we should do

Little Breeze and carried the smell of
Farmer Browns Boy to Buster Bear
swimming out there in the pond. That
doesn't seem like much. for Farmer
Browns Boy couldn't possibly have
hurt Buster Bear If he had wanted to,
and he didn't want to do anything of
the kind. But when Buster Bear was a
very little cub he was taught that man
is never to be trusted and is a creature
to be feared-the only one in fact, that
any self-respecting bear need be afraid
of. Buster never had got over that
fear.

faint smell of Farmer Browns Boy his

Have you white hair and black eyes ?
Do you dine from china of this mag

Do you live in a little white cottage

II you can answer yes to any of
these questions you are still in fashion.
When the black -and-whi vogue came
out of Vienna months and months ago,
as much as three or four years. nobody
thought It would endure longer than
the minaret tunic or the Turkish sash.
1t was looked on simply as passing g
vogue. At first some of the theatrical
managers represented black -and-white
boudoirs or breakfast rooms on the
stacy for use IN real life. Some of the
choruses appeared in striking con-
trasts Of black and white. Then, as we
found that the vogue was lasting, we
began to send our carpets to the dyers,
there to have them dipped in the black
dye vat. We gradually went in for
black kand-white interiors. Sometimes
we call them Pompeiian and relieve
them with frescoes of bright colors.
Again we call them Venetian and de-
velop them in furniture of ultra mod
