ALEXANDER IRVINE At
cHAUTAUQUA NEXT MONTH

where he has been spending most
of the time since the opening of
the war doing religious work among
the soldiers, Alexander Irvine is now
on his way home to deliver his lee
|ture to C%hautauqua audiences. From
the Bottom Up" is the name of a
book written by this man. 1t is the
story of his life. Secure the book
and you will probably lie awake
at night until you have finished it.
Many of its readers do. You will
readily agree that truth is stronger
than fiction after you have read
this book.
Alexander Irvine was a poor Irish
lad. He was born in the typical
home of ireland. At an early age
he left home and became a worker
in the coal mines of England. Later
he Joined the English army and be-
came a vigorous Tommy Atkins"
He soon became known for his
recklessness and daring. He also
won much notoriety as a prize-fight-
err. He then went lower and lower
into the depths of degradation and
debasement.
Then a change came into his life.
He was converted. He took up
mission work in New York. Later
he had charge of the Chapel of the
Carpenter in Omaha. His work in
that city was marvellous. He arous-
ed the enmity of the political boss"
Of that city by his untiring energy
and fearlessness against all forms OF
corruption. He was as strong and
,tireless in his work for the advance
ment Of good as he had once been
in his career of sin. At Culver
Military Academy he had charge OF
the vocational department., searching
deeply with his keen eyes into the
lives of the boys and pointing. out
to them the vocations for which
they were best suited. He became
a force for righteousness and a
power for good.
He is a man with a big, strong
personality. He is a convincing and
interesting speaker. The lecture Is
as full of thrills, tragedy, tense ST.
tuations and tales Of treachery,
temptation and triumphs as one
could we'll imagine. Read From
The Bottom Up" by Irvine. Then
no one need urge you to hear r.
vine himself. Nothing could prevent
your hearing the author and the
subject of the thrilling book.

Thungsten Deposits
New interest has been taken in the
developing of a resource heretofore
not known to be included in the min
cral wealth of Colfax county--the
tungsten mines neal Eiizabethtown,
Operators familiar with the progress
OF mining in this section have been
closely observing the work which is
proposed in the Willow Creek dis
trict where tungsten has been found
in a rather unusual deposit, and are
also awaiting the report which is
being prepared for the u. 5. Geolo-
gical Survey by Geologist Frank
Hess. Mr.. Hess is now investigating
properties in that locality from which
specimens of ore bearing an unusual
" high percentage of the rare metal
have been taken and which have in
duced the heads of the survey de-
parment to send ar expert minerlo-
gist to determine the extent OF the
deposits.-Springer Times.

Boom in Mining
Kingston and vicinity undoubtedly
before long will experience a boom
in mining, not as great as in former
years, but a steady grind in the way
of development and no doubt pro-
d%uction. The Empire Zinc Co., have
purchased the Monaska group of
mines situated on South Percha
creek, and have also located many
other properties in that neighbor-
hood. They will no doubt do con-
siderable development in the near flu
ture which will be on a large scale.
D. c. lacking has taken options on
y claims situated in the Carpenter
mining district west and south of
Kingston. This includes the Grand
Central group Of which has been mill
ling and shipping a carload of con-
centrates every week for a long
time. Many of these claims carry
some copper, but the majority of
them are what may be called q
complex ore zinc, lead, silver, iron,
and other metals. Undoubtedly a
railroad would be built to the mines
in that district, and up to date pro-
cessess to handle the ores will be
built at the mines. Going to take
some time to investigate these pro-
perties.-Hillsboro Advocate.
