which would shine at least by con-
trast with Miss Brownies severely util-
itarian costume. White is becoming
to my hair, which narrow-min6ed per-

known to cause the more discriminate
ing to draw heavily on the dictionary
for adjectives. My face is small and
heart-shaped, with features strictly
for use and not for ornament, but for
tunately inconspicuous. AS for my

of green.

Insects That Walk on Water.

The insects most frequently seen
walking on water are the water
striders-narrow-bodied, long-legged
true bugs that go sliding about the
surface of ponds and small streams.
When moving, they slide on the front
and hind legs, pushing with the middle
pair. Usually only the middle and
hind pairs of legs touch the water
when the insect is at rest, but they
dent the surface. Their feet, COW
cred with a velvety pile that Is not
easily wet, are placed fiat on the water,
and the insects weight Is so little in
proportion to the surface of film"
upon which the feet rest that they
do not break through.

4 one-half billion candlepower
searchlight. the most powerful in the
world, whose rays can be seen for 20
miles, has just been received at San
Francisco, where it will be installed
on Mount Tamalpais, at the entrance
to the Golden Gate.
The light is ten feet high, weighs
nearly three tons and has a 6O-inch
lens. A man standing ten miles from
the light could read a newspaper Ten
feet away he would be able to light a
cigar by means of it. A citizens
committee of San Francisco is arrang
ing for the searchlight, which will
shoot its rays out across the Pacific
ocean and give the first indication to
incoming steamships that land is near.

Liyinu in a Lighthouse.

The ideal home seems to have been
discovered in the Belle Toute light
house at Beachey Head, England. AS
a lighthouse it was put out of action
by the mists of the shore, and another
lighthouse had to be built at the foot
of the famous cliff, little way out
to sea; but as home Belle Toute has
nearly everything to recommend it.
On the ground floor there is sitting
room 80 it, by 20 it., and an octagonal
dining room from the windows of which
one can see the Downs and the ships
in the channel. From the empty lam
tern room one may gaze over as fine
a piece of landscape and seascape as
the fair county of Sussex can show.

down the humiliation of a ridiculous
little nose with no bridge.
But what riveted my eyes was the
deadly glare with which hers were
turned on ME. / saw that not only
was she as certain of my identity as
though she had guided me from my
first tottering steps, but that in a
flash she had grasped my motives,

CROSSCUTA At HYPOTHEEK
PENETRATES BIG VEIN
CIRCULAR LETTER HAS CHEER
ING NEWS FOR THE
STOCKHOLDERS

Highly encouraging news is con-
tanned in a letter just issued to the
stockholders of the Hypotheek Mining
& Milling company by Otto A. OLSON,
secretary and manager of the COM
pany. The big vein which has been
the objective of a crosscut started
something over a year ago has been
reached, and while no ore of CONNER
cial value has so far been disclosed,
there are values in lead and silver
and the appearance and general char
acteristics of the vein could hardly be
more favorable. The vein had been
penetrated about 20 feet when the let
ter was issued, and as it is supposed
to be formed by the confluence of
three strong mineral bearing veins,
its width will probably be very great
and presents favorable conditions for
a large ore body. The letter to the
stockholders follows:
Cut Big Vein.
'In our last letter to YOU dated Sep
TENDER IS, 1920, outlining the condi-
ton of the company and plans for the
development of the property you were
informed that about the beginning of
last year we had started a new tun-
mel about 1000 feet northwesterly from
the main shaft; that this tunnel, in
about 400 feet, should reach a large
vein formed by the union of two or
more known veins as disclosed by
diamond drillings and surface show
ings, and that at this point we were
very hopeful of encountering our
main ore body
The extension of this tunnel has
been going on continuously, and we
that our expectations are apparently
now being practically realized We
have reached the vein and at this
time have penetrated it fully twenty
feet. The vein material is composed !
chiefly of quartz and oxidized iron
through which is intermingled car
Donate of lead and manganese, with I
that it also contains sub /
stantial values in silver and gold. The |
appearance of the vein is identical |
With that on the 500 shaft level, and |
while it does not show commercial
values at this time the indications
ire very favorable for pay ore before
he wall is reached.

100 feet from the surface, and CORE

and we have no hesitation

a very cheering outlook for that pro-
perty The bond and lease is for
100000 The leasing company pays
royalty of Is per cent ON net smelter
returns for all mill products shipped
and 80 per cent on shipments of crude
ore. At this time the leasing com
pany is milling the ore for -leas-
crs for which it receives 25 per cent
on net smelter returns and 40 per cent
on returns for shipments of crude ore.
thus making a profit Of 10 per cent on
both classes of shipments.
Much Ore in Sight.
Mr. Lemasters says there is a large
amount of ore available of a grade
that insures a good profit, while there
is a much larger tonnage that will run
about or 10 per cent lead which can
not be mined and milled proftably at
this time on account of the long haul
to the railroad, 65 miles to Mackay
But with improvements planned in
the mill and an advance in the price
of lead, which may be reasonably ex-
pected this summer, there viii be
fair profit in handling this low grade
ore. 1t costs SIS per ton to deliver the
ore to the railroad, and the freight
and treatment charge at the Garfield
smelter is $3.50. making a total
freight and treatment charge of S2750.
BESIDES the large amount of ore in the
mine, there is another valuable asset
in the form of a large dump that av-
srages Is per cent lead and u ounces
