Others hnre dug nnd WHJdiiil for gold, silver, copper, Iron, He, but the owner of the mine In , which I n placer, are mining l. and the IIiiIkI..! product Is ' , , , ' . . qucattoii, for shot, tumiil out lu quantities to corn n neat liicomii for the workers. AcriMwi the MUslsalppI I llKllted the Oiiinha (lull Club gniimds, where fre quent "shoot" have been held for the last twelve year. Home time ngo A. II. Cooley, formerly aupcrlnti-ndeiit of the Ilnrton-NiiHh .Stone Compnny. nnd Ttioums Ilrllton. formerly vlce-presl- .lent or the Ilrltton Ih.glno Company. were walking over theso grounds and notice! that at a certain placo the earth wns covered with a layer of shot. At once the Idea cnine to them that here was a iylng mine If they could secure the right to work It. and keeping their dlcvery secret they called upon tho ollleers of tho club and pnu-Tsinl to lease that tmrtleulnr .pot for u.lnlug Itartlcular spot for uilnlug luirjioses. They were laughed nt, but secured the lease. It Included a trnct of ground extending from tho shooting twx a ills tiuico of 300 feet, with nlKHlt 3l feet on either ttlde. It Is over this tnict that the shot Intended for clay nnd llvo pigciins lly. How much of It has been hurled In the ground Is n queatlou still to Ito determined. Ono thing, however. Is certnln, thero Is n great qunntlty nf It. nnd the owner of the unique mine are taking out on nn average of 300 pound n tiny In working n space not i seceding twelve by fifteen feet. A anon ns Cooley nnd Ilrltton se inrod their lease they purchased a ;:ns ollne. engine of two-home xwcr, with pump ctMiililuiitloii. Then they drove a well, striking nn abundant (low of water nt a depth of twenty foot. This done. Ihey constructed their jslulco Ii.ixp anil were ready for work. As the shot Is Imbedded In the ground to a depth of two foot, nil this earth bus to lie washed over. To do this It I shoveled Into n sluice box 0 feet long, Vi lurhcfl deep nod in Inches wide, standing upon four logs about thrco feet above tho ground. Water from tho pump Is turned on and tho dirt Is loosened, allowing the shot to drop to tho bottom while tho dirt U w nulled out nt the end of tho box. When the grenler part of the carlli bus been washed nwny tho deposit lu tho linitiiiii of tint bIiiIcc, consisting of shot, stones nml other foreign sub stances, Is placed In a second box with n wire netting bottom. Hero n second washing Is given, nflor which tho stones nro picked out and tho shot spread upon 1huii1h to dry. Tho shot Is then placed In lings holding fifty pounds inch nnd Is taken to tho foun dry. Thero It Is recast Into perfect shot or Into lend bars, Hesurrected shot sells for $3.80 n 100 pounds, n price n very little less t lui n virgin lend. This dliTerenco of prlco Is dun lo tho presence of anti mony, which must bo removed beforo casting. Helling nt this price, tho two i.,-i tin ,in.. ,! tlnys, by working extra hnrd, they net as much ns $lo.

Mtcrnry World. I HOW JACK'S DEBTS WERE PAID mmmffimrmmmmMHimm IIKN Aunt Kllzn. began to cry. 'Helen never could stand that. so she tried her best to check ber auut's flowing tear. What was It all about A trifle I'eople generally do disagree over trifles. This cause of difference, how ever, between Helen and her aunt was twenty thousand dollars, which had been left to Helen by n relative. Helen declared the money did not be long to her. Helen Ileeve was a young widow. She looked very pretty as she stood before ber aunt In her gown of halt mourning, ber wuvy brown hair comb ed back from a broad, low forehead, and colled In nn unruly knot at the nape of ber neck. Aunt Kllza was not Inclined to And fault with the fate that caused her to bo the companion of such a charming young woman. "Not belong to youl" cried Aunt Ullza. "What on earth'do you mean?" "I mean," said Helen, "that this sum will Just settle the last of poor Jack's debts, and I am going to pay I them." "There Is only one way to 'settle,' " said her aunt, "nnd that Is for you to take this money and be thankful to the good Lord that It" has been thrown your way, and not act so un grateful to Providence for your good luck." 1 think," said Helen, "I see what Providence meant me to do with It. When dear Jack died I know the thing that worried hlai most during bis last days wns the money be owed his old friend, Mr. Hcthuue. Mr. HethUne was rulticd, aunty. The greatest hap piness thnt this money brings to me Is the thought that I can do him and tils family some good. The poor man Is blind. They live down near the river somewhere, and are very poor." Aunt Eliza looked obstinate, but their talk ended In an agreement to lee old Mr. Carnithers, the lawyer. He was consulted nnd would not deny that there was Justice In Helen's de termination, although be did not con sider her called upon to carry It out. But she did. Fifteen thousand dol lars was paid to Mr. Hetune. A letter that she received at this time had the ffect of closing Aunt Eliza's mouth, no matter what her Inner reflections might be. It was from a daughter of Mr. Hethune. and gave Helen such thanks as made her heart feel warm and ber cheeks to glow with delight. Now there remained five thousand more. The other creditor, Mr. Clar ence Bsrtlett, was n rich man. Hat tics began again between Helen and her Aunt Eliza. "I bare never forgotten what I heard he said about Jack, and he shall have his due If it be only for tbo op portunity of expressing my feelings. I want Jack's name cleared from ev ery Imputation of dishonesty." "There never was any on it," said Aunt Eliza. "Everybody knew that If he had lived he would have sue ccssfully carried out his business." "Mr. Hartlett said differently." "I declare, Helen, you make me 111. 1 managed to get along with the flrst affair; that turned out a mercy to bo sure, for that poor blind man, but this Why I never heard of anything so un called for." Hut Helen was determined, and In spite of Aunt Eliza the mouey was or dered to be paid. Then Helen wrote a letter ln which she decidedly ex pressed her pleasure In belug able to settle tho debt, nnd gnvo .Mr. Clar ence Hartlett a rap for having ex pressed nn opinion derogatory to her young husband, signing it "very truly yours" In the most dlgnltlcd manner. To Helen's boundless Indignation, there came n letter from Mr. Hartlett, ln which ho Informed her that she wni mistaken ns to his ever having blamed her husband, and coolly Informed her that although ho approved of her wish to sottlo her husband's debts, she could not do so whero he wns concerned; that ho had always considered her husband n personal friend; that he would not hnvo troubled her with this letter, but for the reason that ho folt It duo to himself to refute the mis representations which had evidently been so deeply Impressed on her mind. Tho most Important letter 1 over read ln my life," she declared to Aunt Eliza. Hut her nunt would not see It that way. "I will go and seo Mr. Carruthcrs this very day," cried Helon. Aunt Kllza could not trust herself to answer. Silence was her only safe guard. Down to Mr. Carruthcrs" ottlco rush' cd Helen, but she had to bo content with his saying: "Very well, Mrs. Hoove, I will do my best." The days went on, and Mr. Carruth crs said that Mr. Hartlett was out of town, so nothing could bo done with tho money which nwaltea him. Bummer came, aud Aunt Eliza de cided that after their worry thoy need FACES. ed a change. Aunt Eliza was neither a tyrant nor a miser. Hhe cared little whether Helen had a pen ny or not; she had plenty for both. Hut she had chosen to be delighted when Helen's fortune came to her, for she had been left with little and had a great love for beautiful things, and this money would make ber feel Inde pendent In the gratification of her de sires. "I am sure I am thankful that we have anything left." said Aunt Eliza, and she gave a sigh of relief, j If there had been a time when ahe thought that Helen was In a fair way to give away not only her own money but ber aunt's also. They decied to visit tho Vosemlte. and Aunt Eliza was In her element She would arrange and rearrange fin ery for herself and Helen; refuse to buy a ribbon because they must econ omize, and next day purchase some article not at all needed, and pay a most extravagant price with smiling satisfaction. Every one knows the almost Im possible roads by stage to "Clarks" In going down tbo Vosemlte Valley. Helen and her aunt bad gone as far as possible by rail, and were now In the last stages of their Journey be hind six horses ln the lumbering six seated coach usually used to finish this trip and convey the patrons to their final destination. There were two la dles beside the brother of the ladles and another gentleman. Helen was enjoying the ride and paying no nttentlon to the fears and complaints of the others over the roughness of the road. There were magnificent views, and as they went higher the Indies grasped the aides of the vehicle nnd held on to It In fear and trembling, as they looked down tbo 'dangerous mountain side. Helen had well-balanced nerves and thought of no danger; but suddenly she was conscious of a crash, a fall, one horrible shriek from the other la dles, then It seemed to her that she waa rolling on, on Into eternity. She stopped at last and lay still. Was this death? Hut after a moment the Inconve nience of supporting a weight tfiat lay across her convinced her that she was much alive. She managed to turn partly over and crawl out from un der the debris. She was not much hurt. "Aunt Eliza! Aunt Eliza!" called Helen. All wns silence. She looked about her. but could seo only wreckage. A little way up the hill a man lay still and motionless, bis white face turned upward In the sunlight. Sudden fear made ber turn away. Just then a man came from behind a clump of bushes, pale, and with his right arm hanging helplessly. "Thauk Ood! Somebody Is alive." cried Helen. "It Is a miracle," he faintly answer ed. "Where are the others?" "Oh, I can't tell. I fear they are nll under the wagon." "What shall we do?" He looked down helplessly at his arm and Helen asked pityingly: "Broken ?" "Never mind," he said, "we can't lament over that until we know there Is nothing worse." Just then several men appeared, who had been driving In sight of the accident. They first released tbo la dies under the coach aud then placed them geutly In a wagon. Finally ev ery ono was disposed of but Helen aud the gentleman with the broken arm. "I have n one-seated buck not far from here." one of the mountaineers suggested. The gentleman looked dolefully at his arm. "Oh. I can drive If that's all," said Helen. "Let's go. It's only a short distance. You are suffering terrl bly," as she saw him growing pale. "I bellevo I am," he answered. They drove off, and after the flrst few moments began to talk. "It seemed to mo that we rolled over and over for an endless time," said Helen. "You did turn a completo somer sault. I was thrown off at tho flrtt lurch. The elderly lady I do not thluk Is much hurt. Your aunt, you called her?" 'Yes, my aunt" . "Are you frightened?" he asked suddenly, looking at her curiously. "I don't know," said Helen. "I feel rather wild." "Few young ladles hare as serrJco- ablo nerves as you." Helen did not answer at onco. but cried, as a turn of the road brought a could In Tlewi ' "on, tnero is in noteii I am so glad." An hour later she was watching by ber aunt's bedside. She felt Tailored at the physician's nssurnnco that Auat Kllza was not seriously hurt. For two or three days she was kept n prisoner, but Aunt Kllzn was not one to pet ailments and was soon about. Tho next day but one after Ihe ac cident Helen's driving companion sent tn ink after her health, and sho wns appalled by the name on tho card: "Mr. Clnrenco Hartlett." Aunt Kllzn laughed heartily at tha absurd situation. "I think It very Impertinent of him," said Helen. "To get his arm broken?" "To Inquire nfler u. "Perhaps he does not know who wt are," said Aunt Eliza. "I think I would perhaps like to leave here to-morrow," was Helen's reply. Aunt Eliza did not argue, as aha knew It would only Increaso Helen's prejudice, but she proposed to stay wbero she wns. It was not long before Helen and be met. She was on an tipper piazza, early ono evening, and canio face to face with htm. His nrm was In a sling and he looked pale and worn, but was evidently pleased to see bet again. He held out tits hand. "I am glad to have made your ac quaintance, Mrs. Iteoves. You will In trod uce mo to your aunt, will you not? Your husband and I were good friends. I was also a friend of your father, although I was young at ths time." Hhe could not refuse, and he talked so pleasantly that Helen could not help forgetting ber prejudice, and did not see her way clear to bringing up the money question. Aunt Eliza was delighted, but shrewdly held her peace. Such a flrst meeting as they bad bad naturally caused their acquaint, ance to grow rapidly. Mr. Hartlett was most agreeable, and all his ef forts tended to make Helen's days happy. Tbey stayed six weeks at the hotel and It was the evening befors tbey were to go. Helen and he were on the piazza enjoying the sunset, when Aunt Eliza came up with a let ter. "For you. Helen." She stood and chatted a few mo ments and then said she must bo off and finish packing. Helen still held the letter In her hand, turning It over and over ln embarrassment, for she recognized tbe writing of Mr. Car rutbers. She was nervously fumbling at tbe clasp of the bag at ber side, to put the letter out of sight, when Mr. Hartlett said: "Pray read your letter." "It Is of no consequence," Helen answered. Helen opened tbe letter and read the crabbed handwriting ln great haste. Mr. Carnithers wrote to say that Mr. Hartlett refused to take the money and "wished to hear no mors about It" She flushed and glanced at ber companion. Ho was looking at her with a quiet smile. 'I think I know whom your letter Is from," and ho laughed. 'Please don't," she said, coloring more brightly, hut aetermineu to apeak now. "Mr. Hartlett, I wont to talk with you about this. I want you to do me a favor, but flrst promise" she hosltated. 'You don't want me to promlsA untlf I have heard what It Is, do you?" 'Only that tiresome money. I want you to take It" 'Oh," he answered slowly and gravely. "Yes; say you will. It will make ra so much happier." He waited a moment and then said: "I will take It on one condition." Something In his voice made her eyes drop suddenly. That I may take you with It" bs whispered, as he leaned over her. "May I, Helen?" ne held her hand now and It was not withdrawn. Waverley. Farms Are Illg tn Dakota. 'Yes, sir," resumed the Dakota farm. er, as tbe crowd of agriculturists seated themselves round a little table; "yes, sir; we do things on rather a sizable scale. I've seen a man on one of our big farms start out In tbe spring and plow a great furrow until autumn. Then he turned round nnd harvested back. We have some big farms up there, gentlemen. A friend of mine owned one which be bad to give a mortgage on, aud I pledge you my word the mortgage was duo at one end before they could get It recorded at the other. You see, It was laid out lu counties. Aud the worst of It Is It breaks up families so. Two years ago I saw a whole family prostrated with grief women yelling, children bowling, and dogs barking. Ono of my meu had bis camp .truck packed on seven four-mule teams, nnd he was going round bidding everybody good by." "Where was he golug?" "He was going half way-across the farm to feed the pigs," replied the Dakota man. "Did ho ever get back to his family?" "It Isn't time for him yet Op there we send young married couples out to milk the cows, and their children bring home the milk." Iiondou Tit-Btts. No Wonder.
