For the unique in advertising the
columns of the London Times are al.
most unrivaled. What pictures might
be conjured up by the following ad:
''It is hoped that the irate colonel
who. metaphorically speaking. sat on
IN unoffending subaltern In West
enc tube train a day or two ago. has
now discovered his mistake and makes
peace with the third party"
And what possibilities for a pres
ent-day Dickens are contained in this:
"Bank Of England note received. We
thank unknown friend, whose gift re-
ueves much anxiety"

rose is the following:
"Notice-H the pet goat left with
me October last by Mrs. Fl. l.. is
not claimed within seven days. 1t will
be sold to defray expenses"
And here is something that e. Phil
lips Oppenheim ought to look into:

riculture. through the bureau of bio
logical survey, has devoted great
deal of study to methods of rodent
control. Poison has been found the
most potent weapon against such rO-
dents as live in the open, but as a rule
It cannot be employed in houses where
people live or work. In such places
the trap Is the safest and most GER
tain method of eradication and the
"guillotine" type OF trap Is recon-
mended as the best. 1t may be set al
most anywhere-behind furniture. be-
hind boards. against the wall or at the
entrance of rat holes. Rolled oats Is
recommended as usually the best bait,
though II conditions are such that the
rodents are likely to have surfeit Of
grain. the best bait may sometimes be
meat. nsh, or cheese, or even pastry.

The richest silver producing mine in
the Leadville section 10 the Louisville,
located on Iron hill. On account of
labor conditions the property was
closed down last November, but as this
condition has changed for the better
and with plenty Of experienced miners
In the district the owners have decided
to resume operations
At Leadville, Carbonate hill, the
lower and upper stretches, continues
to send out steady tonnage Of a fair
grade of ore. which in several cases
has been advanced on account of the
increased silver values found in the
ore. At the lower section of the hill
the Stars Consolidated Mining Com
pany is the principal shipper; the
bulk Of the acreage being worked un-
der lease.
Samples of gold and silver ore from
near Central City, where recent
strike showed values as high as $6.280
a ton, have been sent to the Denver
Civic and Commercial Association for
an exhibit This mine is located near
the famous War Dance mine, which
was sold several times for taxes and
then developed strike Of $6S,OOO a
ton in 1908.
The San Juan region is a great
mineralized area and Is one vast col
lection of igneOus and metamOrphOsed
mineral-bearing rocks that in due time
will be recognized rs the greatest and
richest mineralized area In the world
A recent government report tabulates
the wealth produced from mines In
this region as follows: Gladstone
group, $15,0OO,OOO; Red Mountain
mines. $35.OOO,OOO; SunnysIde, $12..
100000; Ute and Clay, $12,OO0,O00
Hidden Treasure, $4,000; Golden
Fleece, $2,4OO,O 900. and the Silver Lake
group, S13,OOO,OOO. and even with this
enormous production pessimist will
tell you that the ground has hardly
''been scratched" and a wOrked-Out
irine il unknown in this part Of tue
San Juan triangle. With an estimated
production In the past years totaling
near the $500. .O00. 600 mark. the mines
in the Durango and Silverton districts
this year promise to exceed produc-
tion of any one year heretofore.
