who had spent the greatest part of
his life in unsuccaseful gold prospect-
ing in Colorado. His famous findof
the Independence did not beneet hire
for long, for he died within a couple
cif years selling the mine for £2,000.
At the time of the purehase of the
Independence by the English Cone
pany the mine was exam ned in their
behalf be: Mr. T. A. Riewiti, iinEnge
li raining engineer, who was thee
stet° geologist of Colorado.
113 report was that there wat•
70,000 tons of ore in sight, •worth
on an average te ozs. to the ton
On this report, and believing that
the surfate ore alone was worth from
one million and a quarter to one
menet and three-quarter pounds, the
Engleh company paid Stratton Li,• -
000,000 in shares, welch he -immed-
iately sold to the Venture Corpora-
tion for Z2,000,000 sterling.
It is now claimed on behaif of the
• Inclependeir e Company and the Ven-
ture Corporation, who have joined
suit, that the mine has never reach-
ed an average of 3 ozsto the ton,
and that although the znine • has
einee yicl 'ed 22,000,000, and paid
its shareholders over Z800,000 in
'dividends, yet this is due to the
opening of new shafts and workings• .
The allegations made againat the
vendors are that the serface ore Wag

associates, Emerson and Ramsay,
made misleading representations.

Degrees in Which 'Professional
Jealousy Exists.
An Italian philosopher (says tho
British Medical Journal), who has
made inquiries into "the psychology
of occupation," has constructed the
varying degrees in which professeonal
jealousy exists.
The lowest place in the scale is
assigned to architects; next above
thena come clergymen, advocates, and
military officers.
Then follow professors of science
and literatuia, journalists, authors,
doctors and actors.
• The 13ritisti Medical Journal, in
noting the fact that doctors hold a
bad eminence in the scale of jealousy
quuotos the view of this same philos-
opher (Signor Ferianni), who says
that doctors display that mean vice
by affecting to regard each other as
quacks.
Ferrianni thinks that the compara-
tively slight tendency to jealousy
which he notes in architects and ad-
vocates is to be explained by "the
precision and truth of their studies."
The British Medical Journal ad-
mits that barristers are. as a rule
less jealous of each other than doc-
tOrS, but thinks the reason due to
the fact that their' personal feelings
are but little engaged in the colli-
SiC)11.9 which occur between them.

/NEWER FARMING.
These exteernely cold days and the

energies to the' utmost, but they

better results therefrom.
The most successful farmers are
those that farm winters as well as

during the winter, if we are to make
the nio-s'e, of oar business, viz.: ear -

tention what might have been a
good profit on the stock can be
turned to an absolute loss. They
need not only good fend. but must
have the watchful eye of the feeder.
Besides this there is the planning
