pede to the scene of the discovery.
Willis Green and George Cava-
naugh, operating a lease on the
Scott-Soencer mine near Austin,
have opened ore of shipping grade
after one year devoted to develop
ment of the property. The lessees
are confident that their efforts are
now to be rewarded.
The property of the Como Consol-
dated Mines company is reported to
be in excellent condition, with the
mill running steadily on 100 tons
of ore per day. Regular ship
ments of bullion are being made,
which is taken as the best indica-
ton of the condition of the mine.
The Western Silica company, q
Los Angeles concern, has installed a
100000 plant nine miles east of
Beatty, according to reports from
there. Grinding is said to be the
only treatment required. The COM
pany owns % claims.

Positive Not NeQative.

Be n thing or the other. Don't be
a dummy for life to hang theories
upon. Be a real person, with likes and
dislikes, with interests and activities,
with something that is positive. Be
pleasant, not merely not unpleasant ;
be sweet, not merely not d~isagreeable:
be good to look upon, as far as in your
power; be well informed, as far as
possible. But whatever you are, be
that thing to the utmost. Give to,
those who r around you your very
best and unconsciously they will give
their very best to you. Try it and
see.

down the ways at Orange, "a others
will be ready for launching before
Christmas, and contracts have been
placed for construction. of 81 more
at the earliest possible date. The
tonnage of vessels launched, build
ing and contracted for here totals
$4,000.
Before the program is completed
here more than 100000 acres of
yellow pine forest will have been
laid bare.
The shipbuilding program brought
prosperity to this little town, whose
population has nearly doubled since
America entered the war. Fifteen
months ago the industry was little
known or understood here. One or
two small yards, located along the
banks of the sluggish Sabine river,
were devoted to repair work on
tugs and small launches.
Then came the call for a bridge
for the Atlantic" Almost over
night the river banks sprang into
life. The ring of axes reverberated
through the forests nearby. The
hum of industry banished the festive
alligator from his old haunts and
the steel-ribbed skeletons of ships
began rising almost in the midst of
a wilderness.
The shipyards 10Y employ APP
proximately 1000 men who draw
wages totaling $225,0O0 weekly
Notwithstanding more than 1000
homes have been built in II months,
workmen still are forced to live in
impoverished shanties and tents
while housing facilities are being
increased with all possible speed.
The National Shipbuilding COM
pany of Texas has launched six
ships, has eight on the ways and
contracts for IS more, all for gov-
eminent use except TWO Ol JHOSc
already launched which ven to the
British Cunard line. The Southern
Dry Dock & Shipbuilding company
has launched one ship, has five on
the ways and contracts for five
more, all for government account;
the International Shipbuilding COM
pany has launched eight, has 10 on
the ways and contracts for 3S more,
all for the Italian government; and
Ed Weaver & Sons have built n
and have one on the ways.
The National yard is building the
new type of vessel of 1910 tons
each. The first two of these ships,
which are classed by authorities as
among the innovations of the war,
are now on their maiden voyages.
Approximately 1900 lightweight
tons larger than a Ferris type YES
sci, the new ship requires nearly
500, 900 fewer feet of timber to
build and fewer steel bolts. 1t was
designed by A. A. Dougharty, an
engineer who at the outbreak of
the war was building an oil refinery
here.

Ship of the Desert.

Because of its peculiar swaying mo-
ton in walking, the camel has been
called the ship of the desert" This
title may also have scene reference to
the extreme stupidity and passivity of
the animal. says Popular Science
Monthly, which submits to great
loads. which it will, often carry for
days at a time without stopping for
food or drink, with no more rging
than ship would require from the
hands of its pilot.
The manner in which the drivers
hobble the camels when they stop for
a rest Is interesting. They do not de-
pend upon stakes driven in the deep,
yielding sand, but simply double back
and tie one end of the forelegs of the
animal, so that it can lie down or rise
up, but cannot move from the spot.
