active volcano, and was vomiting acres and
acres of hot lava.
Then the scenes were shifted. and ho
seemed to have found his final abode in q
place OF vile smells and fierce flames, polite
~ called the antipodes of heaven. And
while he Writhed and groaned In sleenless
agony, a fox-tailed iend with his thumb At
his nose was saying to him in a mockinv
voice Tom buck youy money aaoav at
Mree-card monte, do you-Asy2" But even
this troubled sleep had an end at last, aud
Armstrong arose. When he looked at him
self in the broken looking-glass that hung
On the wall. he thought his face bore traces
of wisdom that had never been there before.
So he said: II think you have learned a
lesson, Armstrong. You can go to your
mining now, sir, and let monte alone,
Time showed that he was right. His les
son was we'll learned. The miners looked !
little curious when he r~e-appeared at the
camp, and still called him crazy. But he
had learned q lesson many of them never
learned, poor fellows. They continued
their old way, making money fast and
spending it foolishly-even giving it to
monte dealers. But the Armstrong firm
was never broken IN that way but once.
After that, whenever he saw one of the Pc
culiar signs, Robbers Roost,'' !" Fleecer's
Den," or Fools Last Chance" Armstrong
would shake his head with knowing air,
and say to himself as he passed along: 90,
yes, Armstrong, you've been there; yoa

ARMSTRONG.

In the early days of Calilolgia-the olden
asys OF gold, or the golden days of old. as
you please-in a certain miners camp. on
the uoa river. there lived a queer genius
named Armstrong. He was an honest
n'liler, not differing materially from his fell
lows. except that he had a curious habit of
speaking to himself. For the simple reason
that he departed from the common custom
Ill this one particular he was, of course.
voted crazy by the other miners. To call
persons ''crazy" who do not follow the Gus
toms OF the majority, is a constant habit
with men. But, day after day. Armstrong
worked away with his pick and shovel, car
ing nothing for the remarks of the neigh
bors, and seeming to wish for no other part
ner i'll his tolls or his rest save the Invisible
parsonage whom he always addressed in the
second person singular, aud with whom he
was almost constantly in close conversation.
The common drift OF lis talk, while at
work, would be about as follows:
Rather tough work, Armstrong-rich
d!rt-grub dollar a %round-no time to
~vaste-pitch in, ~sir-hanged if don't wish
was in the States. This INNINGS mighty
bard work. Nonsense, Armstrong; what a
fool you are to be talking in that way with
three ounces a day right under your feet,
and nothing to do but just to dig it outs
His conversation would be duly punctu-
ated with strokes of the pick and lifts of
the loaded shovel. And so the days would
pass along, and Armstrong worked, and
slept, and with his invisible partner. Well,
it happened i'll due course of time, that the
class of human vampires, commonly called
gamblers, made their appearance at the
camp where Armstrong worked. AS he
was not above following the example of his
fellows, he paid the new corners a visit. 1t
game awhile, he concluded it was the sim
piest thing in the world. SO he tried his
luck and won-a hundred dollars! Now.
any new experience would always set Arm
strong to thinking and talking to himself
worse than ever. 1t was SO this time.
!" Now, Armstrong; he said, as he hesitat-
cd about going to work next morning, that
is the easiest hundred dollars you ever made
i'll your life. What's the use OF your going
a hole in the ground to dig for three
ounces a day? The fact is, Armstrong, you
sharp. You were not made TOR this
kind Of work. Suppose you just throw
away your pick and shovel, leave the mines,
buy a suit of store clothes and dress UP
like a gentleman. and go ut some business
hat suits your TALENT
Armstrong was not long IN putting these
and sayings into action, lie left

HOW TO IMPROVE TIME.

AOW ~ TIME.
There are many ways Of improving time.
II we would try to realize and improve the
opportunities that often slip by UNDECIDED
and uncarred for, how much we might ac-
conplish.
think the right way to improve time
would DC TO treasure up cur leisure mo-
ments and spend them, not in idleness or
frivolous occupations, but in reading useful
and interesting books. The reading of his
tory, orations and travels would cultivate
the mind, and ( think that the reading OF
such poets as LongfelloW, Moore and Burns
would cultivate both the head and the heart.
Many Of our most able writer's are persons
that have had to struggle with poverty, and
meet the cold and contemptuops censure Of
the proud and unfeeling /; yet by patience
and perseverance, to what heights Of honor
and tame have many of them assembled;
and it is only by labor and perseverance
that they have achieved their greatness and
crowned their names with glory and re-
noWn.
! have often thought that if we could re-
alize how much our country and people
HE&M MA&F
have improved since the landing of the pill
grims at Plymouth rock, on December 10th,
1920, that it would make us ambitious to
learn more every day, and become more en-
lightened, and to be able to penetrate the
mysteries of science and learn of facts that
as yet remain undiscovered.
We may often feels discouraged at not
making more rapidsprogress in our studies,
but we should impress upon our minds the
fact thai our education is not to be attained
in q week or a month, but only by perseyer-
ing application to our studies, and d proper
Improvement Of our opportunities.
There is always a helping hand for those
who are willing to help themselves. NY
own experience has taught me in a great
degree to rely upon myself; and from q
few Instances that have come under nav own
observation, | have found that there is al
ways some friend to help those who are
really DESTROYS of learning, and I believe
that we can all accomplish much more than
we think if we only try to improve our
time as we should do, for "God helps those
who help themselves" PHEBE.

THE uYMER TRIAL.
Examination OF the witnesses for the
Prosecution.

The trial of C. W. Hymer, for the
killing of L. X. West, is progressing
rapidly in the District Court. The
witnesses introduced yesterday were
DR.. Bogman, who testified as to the
cause of the death of West J. T. Col
Inns, William Stock, +. ID. WEIGH,
Richard Maun and William Adams,
who testified that Hymer struck West
on the head with pistol in the hall.
George White, who also testified to
what occurred in the hall and to the
shooting of West outside the hall c. S.
Osborn, j. p, and l.. II. Morse, Depu-
ty Sheriff, who testified to the arrest
and examination of the defendant. 1t
appears from the evidence that West
slapped defendant at or moment be-
fore the time the fatal shots were fred
in the ARRAY outside the hall.

j. j. Wait, of Oreana, has invented a
new ore stamp, for which he has applied
for patent. The improvements con-
sist of hollow stamp stem, in combina-
ton with guide rod, making the con-
struction of the stamp cheaper and the
stamp less liable to get out of order
than those now in use in quartz crush
ing batteries. The inventor also claims
that the stamp can be run with less
power than the old stamp, and that any
of the stamps in the battery can be
taken out and repaired without inter-
fering with the others. The tappets
are so constructed that it is impossible
for them to slip. The wooden guides,
which mill men have long regarded as
nuisance, are dispensed with altogether,
and only one bolt has to be removed to
take out stamp stem. A model OF
battery with the new stamps is
being exhibited here by the inventor.
1t is a very ingenious piece of mechan-
ism and mill men who have examined
it pronounce it far superior to the stamp
now i'll use.

The LabOrers ON the Nevada Central
Railroad Demand Higher Wages.

When the Nevada Central Railroad
Company was Incorporated for the pur-
pose of building a road from Battle
Mountain to Austin, the incorporators
decided that no Chinese should be en-
ployed in grading or running the road.
The object of this opposition to the
Mongolians was, perhaps, to get miners
and others, who have no particular love
for the heathens, to sign petition to
the Board of County Commissioners to
issue bonds to the company in accord
ance with the provisions of the Act OF
the Legislature authorizing the building
of the road. However that may be,
work was recently commenced on the
road near Battle Mountain, and no
Chinese have been employed. The
road builders received one dollar a day
and board for their labor, and were APP
parently satisfied until yesterday, when
they struck for higher wages. They
complain of having to pay a dollar each
for board on Sunday, which reduces
their wages to five dollars per week.
and they now demand 81 p per day.
1t is probable that j. A. Blossom, who
was here at the time of the strike, has
made some arrangement with them,
and that work has been, or soon will be,
resumed.

smoke rose FROM the fire and disap-
peared in the clouds which hung over
the mountains at that time. Sosae said
it was an INDIAN signal fire others,
that it was started by some white man
who was crossing the mountain. 1t is
tolerably certain that neither Indaan

THE PARADISE SHOOTING sCRAPE.
A strange State OF Affairs In that

Mention was made in the SILVER

which occurred in Paradise Sunday
evening over game of cards. A note
from Paradise gives this version Of the
ARRAY: Another shooting scrape
took place here Sunday night. Joe
Pirgue, of Spring City. beat a man
named Tom Burns fearfuily, and when
Burns got loose and started to run Pr
que fired two shots at him, neither of
which fortunately took effect. The
officers did not interfere or make any
attempt to arrest Pirgue. The law
here is dead letter, and though a war
rant has been sworn out for Pirgue,
somebody will have TO come here to ex-
ecute it, or he will not he arrested.
Pirgue is one Of the Eungeye biuisers,

The Bullion Product Of the United
states,


The following estimate of the bullion
product of the United States is going
the rounds of the press: 1t is now just
thirty-one years since the grand discov-
cry of gold was made in California.
During this period there has been pro-
duced in the States and Territories
west of the Missouri river bullion to
the value of 1885, 527, 939. OF this
amount about 1851, AS, 693 has con-
sisted of gold and $4O5, O94, 346 of silver.
Besides this there has been produced
to date in the several Atlantic States,
something like $4,000, 600, the most
of it in North Carolina, Virginia and
Georgia. If to this be added the entire
yield of British Columbia to date, Sl5,-
600, 900, San Francisco receipts from
the northwest coast of Mexico, 50, 900,
600, and the product of the Atlantic
States $50, 900, 900, we have total of
S2,S57, 527 1899 produced from the
above sources, all but S24, 900, 600 being
from mines within the limits of the
United States.
