The Romance of Mining Continued from First c Page town, and six weeks later came back as superintendent of the mine, which was -0011 turning out bullion to the amount of nearly $1,000,000 a year." Up to this time, Daly had worked continually for others. Now, with spare money in his hands, he bought the Ana conda silver mine for $30,000. He worked it for silver to the depth of one hundred and twenty feet, and then to his great surprise, struck what speedily turned out to be the greatest copper de posit uncovered up to that time and for years after. Not until the United Verde mine was worked for copper was there a richer mine of its kind. clings thick about the cop per mines of the Michigan peninsula. Perhaps the most romantic chapter cen ters around the name of Alexander Agassis, son of the famous scientist and himself a scientist almost as well known as was his father. When Alexander Agassiz was thirty —he is now 71—the Hecla mine was owned by some Boston capitalists who had so lost faith in the property that they had decided to abandon it after once more wasting a few thousand dol lars in having it gone over by an ex pert. for mere form's sake. Tliev knew young Agassiz favorably, and invited liiru to inspect the property for them. Incidentally, and with some merriment, they told him to develop it, if he found it worth white. To make a long story short, Agassiz and his brother-in-law, who accompan ied him on the trip of exploration, were not long in perceiving the possibilities of the property, quietly bought up all the stock they could at the then prevailing ridiculously"' low figure, and thus, to gether with their development work, laid the foundation of their fortunes. Later on, Agassiz developed the Calumet mine, at the request of its owners; and the t\vo_ properties were consolidated, be coming world-famous as the Calumet and Hecla mines. The Mesaba, the most wonderful of all the iron ore ranges, owes its dis covery to the "fool's gold" excitement that swept over northern Minnesota in the days following the Civil War. One of the men taking part in the chimerical hunt was Lewis 11. Merritt, who had emigrated from .vestern New York before the war. When the excite ment began he struck off into the wil dernc-is bv himself, into a Dart neglected by thf other victims of tiv craze. When he returned home, all h brought with him was a small packa r • of red iron ore. Mis sons, four in number, were in their teens. He showed them the jre, told them of its value, and described lo them the range which he had discovered and was sure was a great store house. After they had arrived at man's es tate and in;id<' imyiey out of timber, the brothers and three nephew> began the work of exploring and mapping the Mesaba. Tke sttpplir-- that they needed they carried on their backs, fifty and eightv miles into the wilderness; horses coulrl not he got through the dense growth. They endured countless hard ships tor years, and. perhaps harder to hear, the scoffing of all Duluth, firm in the opinion that there was no iron ore in Desaba—that the Merritts were merely trying to unload a lot of worth less stock withe public. Kvery possible obstacle to the develop ment of the property was thrown in the wax of the seven indomitable men, known as the Merritt brothers. Finally, however, they managed to build a fifty mile railroad collecting with another, giving them an outlet to the ore furnaces of the world, and, in 1892. they triumph antly brought out from the Mesaba their first trainload of ore. The world woke up to the fact that the Merritts were in possession of mineral property worth millions of dollars. The next year was the beginning of the last di-astrotts panic hi this country In developing their property, the Mer ritts had moved too fast, and with | money hidintr nwriv. they failed. Then it was that John D. Rockefeller, James J. Hill and others got their clutches on the Mesaba, swelling their fortunes by millions of dollars. And when every thing was straightened out the Mer ritts. instead of possessing millions, had only a few hundred thousand dollars be tween them. Wonderful are these and other ro nftinces connected with the mining of copper and iron, gold and silver in America; but the most wonderful of all the romances that of the Bonanza Kings—Flood, O'Brien. Mackay, and Fair. At a time when it was the general belief that the Comstock lode was play ed out. Mackay, the practical, hard headed miner of the trio, was of the strong opinion that the lode was yet to know it- richest days—that it was the biggest bonanza in the whole mining world. He convinced his partners that he was right, and they began to buy up mine after mine on the lode, in spite of the fact that most of the miues that had made the lode famous were "dry holas." While the rest of the world jeered, the partners went steadily ahead drilling deepet» and deeper into the core of the mountains. Everybody had concluded that the four men were fit subjects for a lunatic asylum, when rumor began togo about that in a long deserted drift, and at great depth, the partners had struck gold and silver of unheard-of richness. A few days later, when the rumor had been verified and the last dottbt of the public dispelled, the rush to get stock in Virginia Consolidated was so great that it has not been surpassed to this day. The mining and speculative world sim ply went crazy, and their state of mind was not improved when the partners be gan taking five million dollars a month out of the lode and counting their monthly profits at three-quarters of mil lion apiece. In a little over half a dec ade they took out three hundred million dollars' worth of ore. To find their bonanza at a depth of twelve hundred feet, they had spent a half million dollars without the quiver of an eye lid. Their faith in them selves had been sublime. Their reward transended even their most golden dreams by millions on millions. Unusual Offer o{ a World Famous Manufacturer How Mother Earth is Made To Do Your Weekly Wash. Vou can now have your washing done by Gravity power, for a washing ma chine has been invented which actually makes the rotation of the earth on its axis do all the hard work of the weekly wash. The machine is very .simple in con struction, very easy in operation and very wonderful in results. After the dirty clothes are putin the tub of the machine and covered with hot suds, all that is needed to start the work of washing is a slight push of the hand. The strength of a small child would be far more than enough to set the machinery in motion. And, once started, the washer is easily kept going by slight pushes and pulls with your hand. The machine oscillates slightly and you exert but very little strength, because the earth power—Gravity—does all the hard work. You can sit down to do your part, if you prefer. This wonderful machine is rightly called "a Gravity Washer," because Gra vity does practically all your washing. This Gravity Washer is made only by the world famous 1900 Washer Co., of Binghampwm, N. Y., who have patented the machine. And to show you the wonderful work this machine will do, the makers offer to send a Gravity Washer to any responsible party, for a month's FREE trial. You need not send them any money in advance—make any deposits—or sign any bonds. All you have to do to obtain the proof that you can be rid of wash day worry and wash day work forever and ever is: write the 1900 Washer Co. that you are willing to try one of their Gravity Washers. i They will send you the' Washer at once, all freight prepaid (so you are ; put to no expense for the trial) and you have only to take the Washer home and use it a month. The makers ask you to give the i washer a thorough test —to wash every : thing from lace curtains to carpets with • it—and if you are not perfectly satis : fied. you need not keep the Washer. This test will cost vou nothing. IT ' IS FREE. But if you are pleased and satisfied I (as you are almost sure to be) the 1900 i Washer Co. makes you an even more remarkable offer still. If you decide to keep the Gravity . Washer, after using it a month I r REE, ' you can, if you wish, pay for it by the ■ week or by the month (the makers let you do as you choose about this). I Full particulars of this liberal Guar i antee, of the FREE Trial Offer and of i the "Pay as is Saves for You" Plan of i Selling, may be had by sending your i i ame and address to the General Mann . ger of the 1900 Washer Co. ) Address your letter or post card to ' the General Manager of 1900 Washer - Co., Mr. R.

The little tots must have their party frocks as well as the grown tips, awl as comparatively few mothers can afford to buy their children frock.-, ready made, <>r to have them made up by special dressmakers, the only tiling to do is to have than made up at home. Many mounts find the making up of dainty wear for their little ones a most fascinating occupation, their only con cern being as to what it is proper to choose in both materjal and style, for tunately there are good patterns to be had, by which exceedingly attractive little frock-, may easily be made, and a l-irge variety of lovely inexpensive ma terial from which to choose. If the frock is to be simply a party frock, and not to do further service, it could be of less expensive material than if it were to be used later on for other wear. This point should be well considered. Sometimes a dress that can be laundered would be the best choice, from an economic standpoint, even though the cost of material would lie more. However, before purchasing new goods, it might be as well to look over the discarded dresses of the larger girls, \s often times these may be cut over into very charming frocks for the little ones. White and the delicate shades of blue and green, and all the shades of rose are favored, and flowered or figured soft silks and organdies are always dainty and appropriate. Simple lines are smartest, and very little trimming is used, except lace, although hand work is GIRI.S' LOW-NECKED DRESS. A charming little party frock very simply made is here illustrated.

There are numerous pretty goods at quite low cost suitable for these little frocks. A gttimpe may be worn, if preferred. The pattern is in 5 sizes—4 to 12 years. For a girl of 8 years, the dress will need yards of goods 20 inches wide, or 3 yards 36 inch wide, or 2% yards 42 inches wide. As illustrated, 3 yards of edging are needed for ruffle and yards of insertion to trim. Price of pattern, 10 Centl. This lovely frock for girls from 6 to 12 years is of pale rose organdie mull, soft and sheer, with all-over lace for the deep square yoke. A ruffle of the material edged with lace follows the lower edge of the yoke in bertha fashion and gives breadth and modish long shoulder lines. The full gathered skirt has a cluster of tucks above its hem and these tucks, and the hem also, may be hemstitched, to add to the dainty effect. The neck is low and round, and the elbow puff sleeves are frill-finished 1 at the edge, a row of lace bordering the • frill. A ribbon sash is tied in a huge ■ rosette bow at the back. This little frock could also be made up in any of the pretty flowered goods, and the yoke , could be of the material with rows of ' insertion. As illustrated, it could be made up for a girl of ten years, for two dollars and a half, including cost of ; pattern (No. 1543), which is ten cents.

In this lesson we shall deal mainly with the fitted linings for# draped bodices and shirt-waists, as these are usually draped directly on the lining, and the seams of the outer fabric, with the ex ception of the dart seams, are usually included in the lining seams. The first step is choosing a pattern. If you want the waist to be of your own designing and different from those for which patterns are procurable; your best plan is to buy a plain lining pattern and utilize it as the foundation upon wheih to build your ideas. It sometimes happens that a woman's figure vanes somewhat from the fixed measurements upon which paper pat terns are cut. She may be shorter or longer in the waist, or shorter from the armhole to shoulder in the back. She can ascertain this by comparing the length of the underarm seam and the back seam of a waist that fits her, with the underarm and the centre hack seam of the pattern. Where such discrepancy of length exists, much trouble may be saved bv making the needed alteration in the pattern before cutting the lining. To do this for a figure that is shorter from armhole to waist line fold a narrow tuck straight across the side body, back and upderarm piece of pattern at about three inches above the waist line. Measure carefully to see that you have not taken up too large a tuck. If the figure is longer waisted than the pattqrn, cut straight through the pat tern at three inches above the waist line and separate evenly to the required length. Many women who have flat, or so called hollow backs, need to have their waists shortened both above and below the arm's eye. To shorten above the arm's eye take a very small tuck, say an eighth of an inch deep, right across the back below the shoulder line and directly at the center of the armhole curve. This should save making changes, in the shoulder seams as such changes frequently mar the contour of the neck line.

THE VERDE CHIEF COPPER MINING COMPANY VAVARAI CO., ARIZONA presents the opportunity. i( A Mountain of Mineral" adjoining the great United Verde Mine owned by Senator VV. A.

President Eastern Office, Suito lrtl<s, 20 Broad St., NEW YORK have the material doubled and spread smoothly upon a table or cutting board, ready to place the pattern upon it. The pattern should be pinned firmly to the material and the whole fastened to the table by them tacks or with the glass headed push pins; to prevent slipping or other mishap. Then go over the outlines of both edges and seams with the tracing wheel, not forgetting to make all the notches with accuracy and care. The purpose of having the material double under the pattern is that both sides of the waist lining be cut at once and all the notches and other necessary markings be put into the material be fore removing the paper pattern from it. \ t J t ' V 1 \\ J 1 \\ " T 1 , « i •» I • /; ' J' . « - . V'i ' ' • ••j | | Special lining patterns are usually marked for various types of low neck as well as for high neck. Where the lin ing is to be cut away under diaphonous material it should be marked very dis tinctly with the tracing wheel, but it must not be cut away until after both the lining and the outside material have been fitted, otherwise there is sure to be difficulty in getting a smooth finish at the neck. HASTING AND TRYING ON. After basting the seams carefully in accordance with the notches anil printed directions, the lining is ready to try on. Care must be exercised in doing this in order not to stretch the lining materia! and distorting its shape. In fitting it is best to make no changes in any seams except the shoulder and under arm seams and in the center seam of the back. The dart seams can also be easily adjusted to the requirements of the figure. Should it be necessary to alter the side back scams, great care must be taken to preserve the shape of the curve. Use small pins with good points for fitting, and be sure and pin closely in order to get a smooth effect. It is sometimes best to open a seam before pinning an alteration, as the change may be needed more in the front than in the back, or vice versa. Always fit the shoulder seam from the armhole up and the underarm seam from the arm hole down. UOW TO FINISH TUR LINING FRONTS AND BACKS FOK LINED WAISTS. After having fitted the lining and having pinned it for necessary altera tions, mark where the stitch ing lines of the various seams will be. 1 his marking may be done with colored thread, or with the tracer, or with chalk; but care must be taken to preserve the marking against erasure or loss. Now you may rip the seams apart, taking great care to avoid stretching. If you are wise you will cut an exact duplicate of the "lining in heavy paper and preserve it for future use. It will save you the labor of basting and fitting future linings. Remove the pins which mark the turn back of the front edges, place the two fronts together with all edges match ing and with the tracer mark through the line of pin marks in order to get the amount of turn-in precisely alike on both sides of front. A tight fitting lining should always have a stay-piece up each front edge to very nearly the height of the first dart. This stay-piece should be a strip cut on the crosswise grain of the lining material; it is usually basted on the wrong side of the lining in such a man ner that it is included in the stitching of the darts and of the front edge. If the waist is to open in the front, cut two seven-inch lengths of collar or hook-and-eye featherbone and tack them just outside the traced edges of the front from the bottom of the waist up. Fig. i. Front edge of waist lining with fins showing the exact line of centre closing anil shozving amount of scam or turn back. Fig. s. Front edge with stray-piece, turned back and doiwle stitched for hooks and eyes: with tracing threads to mark the stitching lines of darts and seams. s\ \' ' i : •' I / i : 'I %W. / ill Turn back the edges exactly on the line of tracing and stitch back one eighth of an inch from the edge, place a second row of stitching three-eighths of an inch back from the first row. If the edges curve in at the waist line it will be necessary to notch the turned in material before stitching in order to make the hem set smoothly. Where a back closing is desired fol low the same plan of boning turning back the edges, and placing the two rows of stitching illustrated and as de scribed in preparing for front closing. Our next lesson will teach the proper method of sewing on hooks and eyes, and how to design original effects jn pretty waists. It will tell how some of the most famous New York designers, who get salaries of $5,000 a year, plan their work and how they create novel and artistic ideas. Giving information that is invaluable to the professional as well as the home dressmaker. It is a prac tical lesson which no woman can afford to miss.
