Of all ores, about 500 tons a day are sampled

to realize on the finished metallic product.
This policy of paying cash for ore means much

On the other hand, the stork is a
familiar and welcome guest in that
section of the District where the roar
of the lion rivals the crow of chanti-
cleer as the unusual alarm clock
which ushers in another day. Mr..
Blackburn and his aides have had
wonderful success in rearing and
raising young animals and birds. For
example, during a recent year all ex-
cept 2 of the 1877 young born during
that period lived and matured. One
lioness neglected her young so that
two of the cubs died. Had it not been
for that catastrophe Uncle Sam would
have hung up a perfect record in rails
ing Zoo jewellers that season.
Some of the jungle beasts neglect
their babies in shameful style, while
others are so deficient in parental love
that they devour their young with
keen relish. The females of the tiger
and lion families, as rule, are un-
reliable mothers. They are liable to
run from their lairs at the critical Pc
RODS when the infants require the
most careful attention. AS a result
the jungle mortality in the lion and
tiger families Is large.
Bloodthirsty pumas and leopards,
