Spend What You Don't
Save
Most people figure out their expenses and then try to save what
they don't spend. A Natter system Is to lay aside a certain sum
each month, say tan or twenty per cent, of your salary, and then
bpcnU what yuu don't save. Once having established the system,
stick to it.
Andrew Carnegie said: "The best way to accumulate money
is to resolutely save and bank a fixed portion of your income, no
matter how small the amount."

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR ATLIN MINE
One of the mines tributary to
Skagway has taken on a new and
brightening aspect during the past
summer. The Atlin Silver-Lead
Mines, in which J. M. Ruffner is pre
sident and managing trustee, has
been going steadily forward, and
this year are more confident than ev
er that they have a paying proposi
tion.
A shipment of fifteen tons of sam
ple ore has been sent out and will
be smelted at the selby smelter in
Tacoma. Assays of this are show
a silver content of 200-300 ounces to
the ton, and gold values of $15 to
the ton. This Is high-grade ore and
it is merely a question of amount
and condition, which is now being
determined by the owners. Twenty
two veins have already been traced
by the prospecting »n this property,
and every indication at present looks
like this would be one of the big
mines of the community.
The cost of producing a ton of ore
in this section is given as $70 per
ton. With a silver content of $200,
and and some gold and other metals.
It looks extremely good to the in
terested parties.
Plans are afoot for financing in a
larger way the mine, and this win
ter, a contract has been let for the
sinking of a shaft on a rich ore vein
of No. 2 tunnel.
I The Installation of an air com
pressor is another thing planned for
the winter and early spring work and
the construction of a first class wag
on road from the lake to the mine
property will make possible the more
economical hauling of the ore for
transport as the quantity increasos.
Now the ore must be hauled by sled
in the winter as that is the easiest
and best method.
The mine has passed the first
stage of development and there Is
abundant indication that It will
make a big mine with big profits to
its owners.

PRINCE OF WALES
IS CHANGED MAN
SINCE FOREIGN TOVR
London, Oct. 31.—What has the
Indian tour done to the Prince of
Wales?
Has It destroyed his youth?
These are the questions that all
Loudon now asks. Everyone now
sees the change iu the Prince since
hie return from his adventurous tour
and the general inquiry is whether
it was worth while, after all.
From a fresh-colored, smiling, eag
er hoy the Prince has turned into a
man of early middle age. All of the
old light-heartediiess seems to have
deserted him, and, wherever he ap
pears, he looks weighed down by
care.
And there is a curious, apprehen
sive watchful glance In his eye that
none of his friends True. Talking to a
friend, his glance is always roving
the ground flfty yards ahead. It Is
not fear, but a kind of subconscious
watchfulness. He Beents like a man
never released from an unending
strain.
Itest—perhaps a happy marriage
—may bring back the old ease and
gaiety. But at present the young
Prince looks like a man who has
survived a terrible ordeal.

rine unless such relief as is afford
