II has long been customary to educate
the blind man by means OF special ap-
pliances, to teach him to read by means Of
raised letters and so forth. Newer scien.
tifc instruments are devised to help the
blind man TO understand the ways Of the
outside world, so that he may mix in that
world like an ordinary man.

Professor Fraser explains the mechan-
ism of the sense of touch and shows how
it is employed in conveying information to
the blind. The organ Of touch is the skin
Of the whole body, including the men,
branes which line the mouth, the nostrils
and other internal organs. Under the true
skin are minute elevations. and investiga-
ton proves that these elevations are de-
veloped to their greatest degree in those
parts of the body where the touch is most
sensitive. In blind person properly edu-

ZINC SULPH|DE At
TUNGSTEN COMET

A strike OF unusual Importance was
made recently in the shaft OF the
Tungsten Comet mine. In the Comet
district. at a depth OF AS feet. At this
depth an orebody was entered which
at the present time has opened into
vein eight feet wide. carrying three
and one-half feet of solid zinc sui
phide on one wall and several inches
Of high-grade galena on the other.
All the orebins at the mine are clog
ged with silver-copper ore from pre-
vious oreshoot penetrated farther up
in the shaft. and this zine ore is being
placed on the western end of the big
waste dump. which glistens in the sun
shine with evidences of what Tom Nc
Cormac. superintendent of the mine,
says lis the most important strike
made in the vicinity of Phoebe In the
last forty years"
A piece OF this mineral taken from
the dump Is now in the Bank of Phoebe
and is handsome specimen of this
class of ore. In the next issue of the
Record will be given more detailed
| description of this important develop
nent. together with the details Of tn,

Ore Shipments OF
the Phoebe District

The arrival Of freight cars for the
shipment of ore from the Phoebe dis
trict began again Wednesday morn
ing, after lapse of almost week.
luring which time there had been no
cars available for local ore shippers.
The opinion of one of the best in
formed mining men in the district is
that from now on cars may be obtain
able as usual. and shippers need have
no fear of being unable to procure cars
cor shipping purposes.
1t seems that the freight car short
age, as far as Phoebe Is concerned. was
caused by cars being missent from CAL
ente, they being routed to the east in
stead of north to Phoebe, and when
once they made their getaway 1t was
1 difficult problem to head them in the
right direction or to replace them with
other cars.
Shipments of ore have been norma
since Wednesday and tonnage handled
