fact that our mine Is the only known

More than an hour was consumed In
'going over the property and through
the mine time well spent. During our.
walks and talks Beatley Informed ma
that before he and his friends bought
the mine, the best experts In this coun

ducts with the following results:
Flour silica: Silica, V. 05; aluminum
oxides, 2.85; calcium oxides. 1.02; trace
of magnesium and trace of carbon di

Plastic silica: . Silica, 84.0: alumi

day which goes to prove that the silica

Mr. Beatley stated that they will

intensely proud of the wonderful vital
ity of the 78 year old kaiser.
In years gone by one of the handsom
est rulers in Europe, Francis Josef Is
still a distinguished looking figure. At
close range he shows hi years. It
would be strange If he did not, for
few men have been more sorely tried
and afflicted. There Is a stoop to the
shoulders, a hang to the whole figure
that speaks eloquently of the weight of
years and sorrows, but there Is still
fight in the flash of the eyes and the
firm grip of the hand that warns the
unwary that Francis Josef, although he
may have relinquished the reins of
active government to the . heir pre
sumptive, is nevertheless still , man
to be reckoned with.
A well known diplomat who wag al
most daily In conference with the Aus
trian ruler once said that Francis Josef
was the hardest working ruler in the
world and Bismarck, who was no mean
Judge of work, heartily endorsed the
remark whpn it was repeated to him.

not take the cares and worries of his
kingly duties easily but worries Inces

It Is not more than a week since,
apropos of the present crisis, one fam
ous military authority expressed the
opinion in print that no better raw
material existed in Europe than some
of the races of which the Austrian
army is composed. Outwardly and to
the mere layman there is surely no
comparison between the Hungarians
and the Bosnians, with their fire and
dash and the cojd. phlegmatic Ger

rules.
The Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
heir presumptive to the throne, has
taken an appreciable Jump in public
popularity in the past six months.
This Is, of course, due to the progress
of events In -which lie Is supposed to
have had a directing hand.. And a

been a well nigh universal way of re

prophecy todav. In other words the
archduke has demonstrated a quite un
expected amount of strength and ability
and Austria-Hungary is exulting ac
cordingly. Today the Archduke Fran
cis Ferdinand is almost as popular as
his aged uncle. Whether or not It Is
the fleeting popularity of the man of

posing that if there is anv deluge It
will not be because of any fault of his.
