"HE Cashiers were a peculiar
family, and one would not go

agreeable Family. They ran a chem
icid factory near London, and while
tic sons were planning how TO get
control of a patent explosive without
turning the head of the inventor by
too. large a royalty the daughters
and granddaughters schemed to get
money, jewelry and other things of
value in their eyes out of the head
OF the house, herself the most dis
agreeable of the bunch"
For q son born to her in her ma
turity and after she had given up
the hope of increasing the stock the
with literary ambitions. She wanted
him To go out"--that is, TO receive
and accept invitations from the So
cially prominent people and to write
poetry like Shelley and prose like,
well. say Milton. Ii this son can't

pretty common clay.
In order TO fit himself in one re

destined him this son engaged to
take, dancing lessons in private
academy. There ne met and fell in
love, as he thought, with charming
girl. musician and composer. who
sometimes played dance music for
another charming girl who conducted
the dancing academy. The head
paid TO attention TO such foolishness
IS the engagement between them for
about a year. and then she had the
girl visit her and schemed to break
the engagement She did this from a
feeling OF quite unnatural jealousy.
All this woman's motives and acts
were low. and occasionally she recog-
nized this fact. She did so on her
death bed, when just before breathing
her last she exclaimed May Cog

A. D. MYERS LEASES
MINNIE MONARCH MINE

A mining transaction of import
ance TO the Ely district was consum-
mated last Friday when AL Myers
procured from the Consolidated Cop
permines Company lease on the
Minnie Monarch patented mine,
which Is one of the old patented
mines in The Robinson mining dis
trct.
The Minnie Monarch adjoins the
property of the Ely-Calumet, in which
Myers has been interested for many
years, and is located about 500 feet
in a westerly direction from the
mouth of the tunnel through which
the high-grade zinc ore now ready
for shipment from the Calumet prop
erty will be taken out.
There are number of old work
ings on the Minnie Monarch mine,
from which a considerable amount of
high-grade silver ore was taken out
during the early days and which was
of sufficient value to warrant haul
ing by team to Frisco, Utah, dis
tance of approximately $50 miles,
then the nearest railroad point, from
where 1t was shipped by rail to the
Salt Lake smelters and returned q
profit to the operators.
Myers will Immediately commence
operations on the property which he
has acquired possession of. and the
vast experience which he has had In
the development of the large ore
bodies on the adjoining property OF
the Calumet will stand him in good
stead. He holds strongly to the opin-
ion that he can within a short time
open up a body Of ore on the Minnie
Monarch from which large and profit
able shipments may be made.

oping big mines is nationwide and

ed almost within a stones throw CT
