Notwithstanding the ease with which rowing may be learned, and the comparatively little care required to make boating saf a surprisingly largo number of ladles deny themselves and others this delightful pastime merely on account of the danger presumably in olved. i Many women, however, are quite expert in handling an oar and in maneuvering a boat, while others can at least manage the latter with security. But they are in the minority, and the greater number must depend upon others in order to gratify their desires in this direction.

it is hardly necessary to say that this dependence Is often misplaced, and were less confidepce reposed in the belief that all men are natural boatmen fewer accidents would be the result As it is, however, almost every man that puts in an appearance at a watering place la pressed into the service, and some of them thus find themselves stepping into a boat for the first time in their lives, lias a gentleman ever been found who acknowledged that he could not row? Few, if any; yet they will unblushing-ly accent the rower'a seat and attempt to manage in safoty a whole boatload of ladies or children. On the other hand, it would be difficult to find one of the opposite sex willing to undertake such a charge unless she felt herself fully competent to do so. But why, may I ask, should ladico be dependent in such a degree upon gentlemen in this pleasurable recreation? To be sure they can not all become experts in the art of rowing, but they may at least acquire the rudiments of it, and thus add an appreciable amount of true and healthful enjoyment to their summer vacations. But how learn without a teacher? some may ask. Easy enough.

Very few learn with one. A little perseverance, coupled with a sufficient amount of confidence, will work wonders In the way of ultimate success. Certain general rules or precautions may be given which seldom vary, all of them being of importance, and, if remembered, aiding the beginner greatly. They are not, however, confined to the beginner, but answer for all who go rowing for pleasure. 1.

When getting into a boat never step on the seats or thwarts, as they are nautlcally termed; always step on the bottom. 2. Never stand up in a boat 8. Never change places with others in a boat when under way. 4.

Do not lean over the side nor rock a boat "for fun." 5. Sit in the center of a thwart and endeavor to maintain the boat's 8. With hardly an exception the rower enters a boat last, seeing that those who accompany him are first seated. The beginner will need a few definite suggestions that apply to him or her alone: (1.) For your first trial obtain, If possibles, a flat-bottomed skiff, as it will answer your purpose much better than one with a round bottom, and it is not so easily capsized. See that It does not leak and is provided with two oars, a baler and a painter, the latter being a rope or light chain made fast to the bow.

Over one half mile of development work on vein, consisting of shaft 175 foot, with tunnels, levels, cross cuts, stops providing an immense body of ore.

With present development, 200 tons per day can be mined if desired. ORE. From grass roots to bottom of shaft, and from wall to wall ore assays from $2.00 to $165.00 per ton averaging by mill tests, savod on the plates, from $3.00 to $7.00 per ton, not taking into consideration the high grade ore now coming in at the bottom of shaft. COST. Ore can bo mined and milled by a small plant, say 25 tons per day, for $1.25 to $1.50 per ton, and on a large scale of, say 300 to 500 tons per day, at 75 cents to $1.00 per ton.

VALUE. This has been estimated to be worth, by different parties who claimed to know tho value of such a mine at from $500,000.00 to $1,000,000.00. If ore increases in value for 100 feet additional depth, as it hat, for the last 50 feet, and the vein holds its presont width, it would be the greatest gold mine on this continent.
