UNIQUE LEAD MINING.

Mining in two inches of ground may sound unreasonable. but 1t is really true, according to the writer in the New York Evening Post. Did you ever stop to consider what be- comes of all the lead fired from the shells of trapshooters' guns. of course you know trapshooters shoot over the same grounds week in and week out. Therefore the constant shooting over practically the same territory makes lead mines, for be the aim good or bad, the lead finally falls to the ground. Far sighted contrac- tors have seen the business possibil- ities in going after this mining busi- ness.
 At prominent clubs where many squads shoot every week 1t Is only . matter of few years when it is i'm mensely profitable for the miners.

ALASKA GOES DRY.

Old Timer. have you heard the news? | Alaska's going to cut out booze and henceforth will that frozen cline subsist on pop and seitzered lime. and miners from the frozen hills in buttermilk will bathe their gills and Klondike Pete and Rough House Liz will Quench their thirst in kickless fzz and mushers chilled on Arctic trips will drink beef tea and smack their lips.
 The roadhouse will no longer cheer the train-worn soul with hootch or beer; the mining camp will silent be, except for miners drinking tea. No more they'll seek D. Rum of nights and get lit up like Northern Lights. since none may buy or steal or mooch one tiny little shot of hootch. And Yukon Ike, the good old soul, will have to shinny up the pole, and soon we'll see Hell-Roarin' Pete, upon the water wagons seat.
 The sourdough when he wants 8 drink will amble to the Yukon's brink. and quaff a horn of H2O, 8 harmless drink as we'll you know; then go his way in search of gold and sing an ode to water cold, and when he makes stake he'll go to camp and buy a drink or so, of orangeade, near beer or lime, and swear he's had a ripping time.
 Not like the days of old, not much: John Barleycorn is. now in Dutch. from Sitka to the Arctic shore, and Forty-Rod will cheer no more. the hardy Argonaut for he, has climbed tWn.) American.

Lectures in Wall Academy

Wall Academy has been the
central point of interest in Punta
Gorda this week. To have suffi-
cient seating capacity has been a
problem. A series OF electric
,stereoptican lectures are in pro-
gress there that have attracted
many Punta Gordans, These lee
lures are highly educational and
entertaining. Rev. b. NJ. Heald
has been on the lecture platform
for many years. He has with
him the latest improved stereop-
ticen machine that gives Life and
force to every lecture. He slides
from the latest war scenes, slides
cartooning all the Bible prophe-
cies of today, and a long hist OF
the latest temperance cartoons.
The subjects of addresses to- be
given this week are as follows:
Somebody 8 Dream Of Europe,
What does 1916 have for us,
"Will we see Christ, " "Satan's
Vacation, "The New Earth, "
and Friday night Mr.. Heald will
speak on "Is God s throne threat-
ened. " Last night the address
bristled with facts, and the
speaker presented a word picture
of the condition of the earth dur
ing the one thousand years of
