North Bend Enclosed on all sides by
hills, out of sight of all human habita-
ton, and once surrounded by dense TO-
iage, it was an admirable spot for
"moonshine" business. Had the old
gentleman lived in the days of high
taxes and of North Carolina and Ten
nesee moonshiners, his selection Of a
spot for the location of still would
have stamped him as fit subject for
the surveillance of government
hounds" The old whisky still was built
of stone, and the walls, Judging by thair
thickness, of two feet, were meant to
he as eternal as the Rock of Ages.
These walls for the most part are still
intact. They've crumbled some about
the windows, and door openings. The
roof rotted away a quarter of century
ago, and save a gigantic sleeper, which
spans what was once the second floor
of the building, that part of it compos-
ed of wood is all gone. From this
sleeper, now wasted of its strength and
rotten, has sprung a thrifty locust tree
which throws shade over the spot
where once the sour mash was stirred.

Whisky was as seductive a potion in

less seductive to the promising family

stone distillery, and with one exception
believe their appetites either directly
or indirectly destroyed them.

The Albion Club met at the Justices
Court last night, and a large attendance
was present. Secretary German made q
report OF the collections and expenses of
the clubs trip to Austin, which showed
that after all accounts were squared there
was a balance of s185 IS on hand. On
motion, $40 rs of this amount was trans-
ferred to the treasury for the purpose OF
procuring bats and balls. The remainder
was then, on motion, divided equally
among the team Of ten players, making
SIT 80 to a man. The surplus included
the amount o at both games, 1925. The
expenses were necessarily large, and footed
up altogether $3.50, which came partly out
OF the prizes. Alter the business Of the
meeting had been transacted, the Vice.
President presented the handsome medal,
recently won at the Centennial Guard pic
mic, to the team which played for it, and
they unanimously resolved to present it to
the President of the club, Z. N. Robinson.
Mr.. Robinson, completely surprised at this
turn OF affairs, said Gentlemen, l
deeply appreciate this marx OF esteem, but
you have taken me altogether unawares.

terest in behalf Of the Club or in behalf
OF the noble game. / shall keep the beau
tlrul trophy as a souvenir Of your skill and
proves, and gratefully remember the Civ
ers. | shall be pleased to see the game Of
ball placed on the same footing here as 1t
is in the East and West. 1t is our Ma
tlonal sport, and every true American
should take a pride in it. If l can do
anything in my humble way to further the
interests Of the game here in the future, 1
will willingly give my aid. Again accept
my thanks for the valuable present."
Loud applause followed this neat little
speech, and the meeting adjourned.

Who Was He?

Bodie Free Press: From the description
OF the man killed by Drew in the noun
tains last Tuesday it is inferred that it was
Charles Smith, formerly of Bodie, and
who was a partner in the lodging house
business. The description given fits him
exactly. 1t will be remembered that Smith
left here last Fall in poor health; that he
was in some way interested in the bullion
robberies. If there was any bullion hid in
the mountains, he was after it. Another
incident leads us to think it was Smith
who got killed. The wagon the two rode
in had two small boxes on each side that
folded up and rested on the side in such q
way as to be invisible. These boxes were
lined with canvas and just large enough to
hold an ordinary bar Of bullion. Drew
stated to a gentleman that the boxes we're
to be used for carrying off bullion, and
their mission over here was for that pur-
pose. Why did Smith want to kill his COM
panion2 Did he find him too honest to
stand in on the racket, or was he anxious
to secure the whole pile for himself? And
is there another side to the story? Did
Drew find out just where the treasure was
hidden, and make away with Smith for his
own selfish purpose? But Drew has had
an examination before Judge Wiggin and
has been discharged. There is a mystery
about the whole affair which may never be
cleared up; certainly not il the world
should come to an end to-day, as adver-
tised.

Something for sFfIImen.

The Tombstone Epitaph thus comments
upon the change i~naugurated by Professor
Church in the system Of treating the
Tombstone Mill and Mining Company's
ore. About six months ago he dropped
outof use in amalgamation all chemicals,
using quicksilver alone. Some OF the
practical " mill men said ii would prove
q failure, predicting fouling and loss Of
quicksilver and q reduced percentage in
1he yield Of the ore. The question has now
passed beyond the experimental stage, and
aas become q demonstrated fact that his
simple treatment is o perfect success in
evefy way. For the month Of May they
s.'Iaeted SAY per cent Of the precious
ueIai contained In the ore, and the bullion
sseraged 10 finer than in the previous
months work. The loss Of quicksilver
"as Also less per ton than heretofore.

A a of Society.

The killing of Denny Ryan, says the
Ruby Hill News, will cause some people
to moralize. Here is one man in his grave
and another branded for life, and for
what? Simply because a woman proved
untrue to her marriage VOWS. And yet
if such a tragedy were to follow every
time a man is discovered to be untrue, who
would attempt to calculate the number !?
There are few men who would hesitate to
commit adultery, and equally few who
would hesitate to kill any man whom they
discovered in like position in their W
homes. The question may we'll be asked
why a woman should not be as justiiable
as the man. Each violate the most sacred
vow that can be registered, but why should
the punishment be greater in the n case
than in the other2 The only answer that
can be made is that it is q law Of society,
and its laws are i~rrevocable.

ing to his usual custom with q young lad

round figures they will not be less than
500 for a single person. The fare is ssS;

$40; one night at Reno, So; ten nights at a
hotel. $50; amusements and local excur-
sions, about S25. Total, SOL. This es-
Innate is made on a very econ
omical basis. The average Eurekan.
however, wants a glass of beer and

ments, and will make q big hole in q 5000

placed at the very lowest notch. will not
be so inexpensive as some suppose.

not the Directors at the date Of the meet

the Directors had not been informed, our
managers at the mine are greatly to blame.
Again, are the Directors aware that the
Eureka Company have com r,enced a suit
against the Richmond Company for the
damages in connection with the recent ap-
peal2 These are very weighty questions,
as seriously affecting the immediate pros
perity of this company, and therefore
every shareholder has a just right to ex-
pect the Directors to keep them fully in
