TIE Gold Hill Ne.rs Of last evening
has very interesting article on stocks
and mines from which We make the fol-
| lowing extracts: The dividends official
ly declared at the present time aggregate
| larger than for many months. to say the
least. being as follows: Belcher, $780,
600. Crown Point. $40O. 900, Consolidat-
| ed Virginia, 1924. 600 Total, 81. pa, 900.
This, if We mistake not, is the largest
aggregate Of dividends from the Com
stock mines for any one month during
| nearly a year past. The two mines first
mentioned have had to do the dividend
paying for many months. and it is graft
fying, not only to stockholders, but for
the interest of the country at large, to be
able to record another successful COM
pany pulling into the line of dividend
paving mines The Consolidated Nir-
GINA mine has been most admirably
managed. from first to last. and has only
at last commenced paying dividends
simply because of the ore and bullion
developments enabling it to do so, with
healthy reserve in the treasury and
plenty more dividends in sight. The
mine itself shows continued improve
ment Mt its lower levels. as further de-
veloped, and the great ore body bids
fair TO develop INTO equal importance
with that of the Belch-r and Crown
Point And further on in the same AZ
ticle We find the following gratifying
statements: The Belcher and Crown
Point lower levels show better and bet
ter as further developed, and the bullion
yield shows n corresponding increase.
The Crown Point. however, will have to
stop on hosting shortly for few days
IN order to get in new and heavier ma
chinery. The present low price of stocks
is not at all alarming or unexpected.
Stocks may even 90 a little lower, but
not much. The season is getting too
far advanced. the yield of the mines is
heavy. and the prospects ahead are too
good to allow Of any permanent depres-
sion.

She tore round last evening with the

how utterly wretched she could make
all her friends and how cold and con-

wanton perched herself conspicuous,
upon the summit Of Won Sierra's tal1est !
peak and there, enrolled in the blacklist
raiment of old Pogonip, scowled hatred

that right speedily. to get even a good
word from us-and must stay reformed,

AFTER remarking that it is stated that
the control of the Savage mine has been
secured by the Sutro Tunnel Company,
the Gold Hill Nelrs says: That shaft, -
(the Savage las we'll as those of the
neishboring mines, and all the principal
shafts along the Comstock, are below
ing the whole ledge to and below that
level, therefore it is perfectly feasible
for Sutro to work his famous tunnel now
from both ends, the middle, or any
where else. That famous tunnel will be
thoroughly drained and left high and
dry long before it is completed. The
mine owners should demand royalty"
from Sutro for draining his tunnel. He
certainly will never drain the Comstock."

City is that which has lately been laid
out by Messrs. Rice L Peters. Their
plat lies on the high ground just north

1t is proposed to sell these lots at very
reasonable figures. They are admirably
adapted for homesteads, and by impro-

THE nELLEs or THE BIBLE.

II is an interesting fact, and true TO a
great extent, that The style OF dress and
ornaments Of the Hebrew ladies of the
present day--and In fact the prevailing
toilet OF all ladies--is much the same as
during the time OF Solomon With all
the changes and variations of centuries,
the gradations of chienons and crino-
lines we now find much OF the simple
grace easy symmetry of ancient Greece.
The Scriptures narrate great many
things about the style of dress worn in
the time OF Solomon, and in the law OF
Moses several directions are given con-
corning garments worn by the Israeites.
In the book OF Judges, the girls of that
period are described by Deborah as a
prey of divers colors of needle work,
while Lamuel says, Their clothing is of
silk and purple. In the frequent inter-
course between the Jewish and other ma
tons, the ladies', tired OF their primitive
simplicity, sought the fashions of the
clever Egyptians, the elegant Phpnicians
aud the luxurious Persians. Even pa
tent Job became impatient at the dresses
and Isaiah denounces the women Of the
period, living for nothing but dress and
Irritation with the one desire to see and
be seen.
The tunica worn by the ladies in the
time of Solomon was much like the pol
onaise of to-day, and the belts with fancy
clasps now worn are about the same as
the leathern girdles and silver buckles
worn of old. We also find recorded that
trains were worn to dresses, and that
camels' hair shawls were common. En-
broidered mantles, fastened with golden
pins, are also spoken of. The hair was
oiled, dyed, and put up in coils; little
curls were let hang over the forehead,
and, strange to say,the girls of Solomon's
time, it is stated, used paint. .s ...
Walls were worn, and sandals were
made of blue and violet-colored leather,
with fancy lachetts. Solomon, ii IS rclat.
cd, said to Shulamite, How beautiful are
thy feet with shoes, oh, Princes dangh-
tori Hair nets were worn, and earrings
ofall forms and much value were very
common, Bracelets on tho right arm
strings OF pearls and heavy gold chains
around the neck, rings on the fingers
and other ornaments, were all worn by
the ancient Hebrew ladies'.
