HUDSON SHAFT

TO 600 LEVEL

Sinking of the 32O-foot incline
shaft on the property of the Hudson
Mining company At Roy5ton is now
wei under way, the work being per.
formed under contract by Barber &
Uhlman, The sinking is expected t.
progress at a good rate of speed, and
ground Will probably be broken at
the rate of from to feet each
day. 1t is proposed to sink for 300
feet; and the undertaking should be
completed within two months.
This piece of mining engineering
will go a long way toward proving
up the perststency of the oreshoots
in the Royston district and the re-
suits will be watched with a great
deal Of interest by those having the
future Of the silver camp at heart.
In the event the continuity Of the
orebodies is proven, then a new era
will dawn for Royston, and deep
mining will pay an important role
in lhe future Of the camp.
In the meantime the various leas-
ers at work in the Royston district
are prosecuting development with
fairly good results and occasional
shipments are being made. The
only large consignment of ore so far
sent out from the district came from
the Belts lease on the Golden Eagle
claim Another shipment of car
load is being prepared and Will be
ready to market in short time.

US to cross it, SO we got the car In and kept
it there for a month longer.
Then we prepared for a grand celebration.
The street wasn't what it was when it was

there were places in the bitches where you
begged down and stayed till dry weather il
you were careless enough to get into them, as
you often were after dark.
But anyway, we could come and go, which
was something. That night we reptched the
tent, put our car into it and invited friend
who had big fine one out for the weekend.
The new tin garage had just arrived, and
his car was to occupy it for the night.
The friend was a late sleeper, as became
the owner of SO grand car. He got up at

Moil Order Motrinony
Doomed This Summer

There have been matrimonial bureaus be-
fore, of course, and the picture bride is not
exactly new institution, but there has never
been, so far as any existing record indicates,
80 tremendous a desire for matrimony on the
part of SO many people of diversified habits
and tastes as this summer brought forth
There must be a reason What is it
There seems to be an overwhelming weight
of opinion the part of people who do not
get married by mail that people who do get
married by mail are nuts. A certain percent
age of morons must be admitted, including
The morons who write fervid tales of entirely
fictitious longings "for fun" but there is q
larger percentage of genuinely lonely folk who
are sincerely seeking ideals in life partnership
which their present environment does not pro-
vide Also there is a still larger percentage
Of widows who are up against it-women who
have been left, after short matrimonial expe-
rience, with no income and small family. To
such women as these matrimony is the only
profession open; their entreaties for the ad-
dress of a suitable husband are just requests
for job and almost any decent man will do
who can provide a living and doesn't object
to supporting a dead mans children. There
are pitifully large number of these Devil
dered widows abroad in the land.
The case Of the foreigner who seeks wife
among the people of his home land is on an
entirely different plane. This, among the
Greeks almost attains the dignity of tribal
rite The Greeks, available statistics indicate,
lead all other European nations in the earnest
ness and diligence with which they seek for
wives among their own people in their native
land. They possess strong national conscious
ness they do not readily intermarry with
other races. On the other hand, Greek women
emigrate in smaller proportion than those of
any other European nation. When the men
strike out for the new life across the ocean
they play lone hand and leave their women
folk behind. Most of them emigrate young. A
lew years and they achieve measure of pros
perity; at times, very considerable measure;
and then, when their thoughts find leisure to
turn to matrimonial affairs, they seek Greek
girls for wives. There are few Greek girls in
America, and fewer still unmarried. The
matrimonial urge sets their faces inevitably
toward the homeland, and already the thing is
as good as done,

Travellers Aid Society Keeps
Watch Over picture Brides"

Occasionally Miss Murray told US. some
tricky individual attempts to comnlf bigamy.
or even polygamy, by means of the M III order
bride scheme but these are rare and are get
ting rarer, as the Travellers Aid Soeicty's in
vestigations expose such cases and make it
clear to the schemer that seduction through
these channels is not so simple a process as
it appears to the casual eye The society is
in delicate relationship to these people. Ii
has no official status, and no really legal right
to say that this man and this woman shall
not start together for some little town few
thousand miles away, but gentleman's agree
ment with the immigration officials discharges
the brides from Ellis Island to the care of
the society, and where there is real reason why
the marriage should not take place it is easily
prevented. A threat of police action tames the
most righteously indignant abductor.
There exists then some reasonable degree of
protection for picture brides arriving from
abroad; but how about the possibilities Of
tragedy which are contained in the situation
at home?
