A Poverty Stricken Queen.

Partly owing to the fact that she
was welded to an avaricious king and
partly because she was generous with
the little money allowed her Elizabeth
of York, queen Of Henry VII, spent
but small amount for dress. She
was very often in debt, and the sums
she spent We're ridiculously small, 20
shillings $50 being the greatest amount
expended at any one time. Her gowns
were mended and turned. and new
waists were made for them, as is
shown by the record of bills paid to
her tailor. These bills prove that she
wore her clothes for q long time, for
her gowns were obliged to be newly
hemmed, and also that, though prin-
cess of the great house of Plantagenet,
she wore shoes costing but "a cents,

Light of a Deep Sea Shrimp.

One of the most extraordinary crus
tacea ever discovered was dredged ur
by the Prince. of Monaco from depth
Of 10000 feet. 1t has been named
Oplophorus grimaldi. 1t is a sort OF
shrimp, and its popularity is that it
squirts from two holes near its mouth
a liquid which, on coming into contact
with salt water, produces fine pale
blue light.
Absolute darkness reigns in the
depths where it lives, but the little
shrimp does not find it necessary to
keep its light always burning, This
would use up too much energy, so it
squirts out the illuminating fluid only
when it wants to look at something, or
perhaps to attract the minute animal
culae that form its food.-New York

MONNETTE IN
OATMAN MINE

Speaking of outcrops-it is inter-
esting to note how many of the
names t at were made famous by
Goldfield and in turn helped to
make it probably the best known
mining camp in the world, are
cropping out" at Oatman, which is
frequently referred to rs the Gold
field of Arizona. One of the latest
well-known Goldfield operators to
become identified with an Oatman
property is M. j. Monnett, known
the world over as one of the part
ners in the sensational Hayes-Mon-
nette lease, which paid $3,5OO,00
in six months time. Probably the
fortunes made by this property both
to owners and leasers were never
equalled in so short a time.
Mr.. Monnette, who since his re-
tirement from Goldfield activities
With a princely fortune has become
a conservative banker, identified
tional banks, has again heard the
call Of the hills" The fascination
of wrestling the precious metal from
the unwilling hands Of nature has
proven irresistible and he has be-
come largely interested in Oatman.
Associated with Mr.. Monnette are
John A. Hassell, eminent engineer;
G.. w. Long, who is also general
manager of the well-known United
Eastern mine of Oatman; j. p. Lof-
tus, who developed the Round
Mountain mine at Round Mountain,
Nevada. and F. C. Dougherty Of
New York.-Oaman News.

WHITE CAPS HAS
LARGE TONNAGE
REPORT SAYS TESTS IN TREAT
MENT OF DEEPER ORES ARE
SUCCESSFUL

Operations are progressing in a
most satisfactory n at the
White Caps Mining company's prop
erty in Manhattan. The drifts on
the bottom level are being pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible in or
der to tap the orebody at the 80
foot depth, in both directions from
the shaft as quickly as possible. AS
these drifts, one to the east and
the other to the west, are making
about 40 feet per week, the ore
shoot should be cut within three
weeks at least.
There is at the present time a
considerable tonnage blocked out in
the mine, but when the ore shoot is
reached on the bottom level, an ad-
d~itional 100 feet of backs will have
been absolutely proved up and there
will have been demonstrated suf-
fcient tonnage to keep the milling
plant in operation for a long period.
The tests and experiments on the
ere from the upper levels have been
concluded, with most gratifying re
suits. The last test showed an eX-
traction of 90 per cent, after an
agitation of only one hour following
the roasting of the ore. The on
sumption of cyanide is very low,
being but two-tenths of a pound of
cyanide to the ton. of ore.
How important and economical
these features of the tests are, can
be readily understood through a
comparison with cyaniding plants
in general. The period of agitation
in the Tonopah plants average As
hours and of course the longer the
period of agitation the greater the
consumption of cyanide.
While the plans of the manage
ment concerning the installation of
complete equipment for treating the
ore are to a large extent depend
ent on the tapping of the orebody
on the 80 level, so that further
experiments a be made to show
the amenability of the refractory
ore to treatment such as has proven
successful on the ores from the up
per levels, it is very nearly a GER
tainty that the tentative arrange
ments made by the management for
the installation of a roasting plant
to be worked in conjunction with
the present cyanide mill will go
through, for it is no ANTICIPATED
that the ore will show any marked
,,change i'll character from that shown
Tin the ore which has been tested
and which came from the levels
above.-Tonopah Miner.
