Few of the real Indian shawls are
called for. One of the larger houses
sell no more than dozen shawls in
a year, and these are the cheaper
ones, that is, the shawls the prices
of which are under $1,000. One
good reason Is that the wearer of a
rea! Indian shawl does not get the
credit of it. So few are worn, and
so many initiate so we'll, the real In
dian is not recognized. 1t is said
that in the manufacture of Indian
shawls not the slightest improve
ment has been made since Napoleon
introduced them into Europe by
sending one to Josephine. The wool
OF the shawl is obtained from the
inner hair of the Thibet goat. 1t Is
cleaned in rice water to add strength
and spun by women. Each loom
produces about five shawls in year.
lclOlld WIluSs biibutO OuN Va 'HNSN
poverty stricken weavers in acertain
number of shawls yearly.
1t is said that native Indian shawls
have been imported to repair shawls
and change centers to suit the wear
ers. The shawls are made IN pieces
and put together so deity that the
seams cannot be found, except by an
expert. In the aggregate great
many Indian shawls are imported
but are sold chiefly in the large cit
les, where they are kept in STOCK,
and the purchaser in smaller city
will go there to buy them, in order
to select from a number. Generally
the demand has been active this
year, aud "a great many have been
sold.-Providence journal.

Reading Room.

A reading and club room ha been
opened by the young men of Dayton.
The room is in the rear of the En-
CINE House; it is neatly and comfor-
tably fitted up and in a short time
will be supplied with newspapers,
books, etc. The formation of the
club is a good thing for the members
as it will supply want long felt. 1t
is great deal cheaper and more
agreeable to pass quiet hour among
books and papers than to put the
same time in polishing the handle OF
beer glass. 1t leaves better taste
in the mouth in the morning. The
club starts out with good sized list
of members which will doubtless be
increased as the benefit of the insti-
tuition is made apparent. The officers
are, w. II. NJ. Cobb, President; G.

Demand for Copper.

The Winnemucca Silver State says: :
Cooper mines are now in active de-
mand, and sales have been made OF
several such mines In various parts
of Nevada. There are several fine
copper bearing veins in this county
one in Harmony range, within a few
miles of the railroad more northeast
from here at Puebls, and Others south
in what is called Bolivia district.
Only one of these mines-that at
Puebla-is being worked. The war
bet ween Chilli and Psru has largely
decreased the supply of copper from
that source, and the worlds demand
of the material has rapidly increased
during the past year. The S. F. Post
says in copper aud copper manufac-
tured goods the market is very strong
at the recent advance. The consump-
ton has largely increased throughout
the world, claimed to be principally
brought about by the more general
use of electricity, as the apparatus
used is chiefly made of copper. In
England copper has advanced So a
ton, with still higher level looked
for. The stocks at Liverpool, Swan
sea and London, quantities afoat and

That History.

The Phoebe Record has seen the
History of Nevada and speaks as
follows: "For the first time, Sunday,
we took look at the so called ellis
tory of Nevada" and confess we
were greatly disappointed, for it was
not what it was represented that 1t
would be ny the agent who was In
Phoebe thirteen months ago. 1t is
different book altogether. The book
appears to have been gotten up for
the sole purpose of bringing before
the public the pictures of number
of the unknown and obscure people
in Nevada, who are willing to pay
from $50 to 5000 to get them in the
book with short biography. The
very best public men ever In Nevada
who made and stood by the State,
but are now dead and gone, are ig-
nored by the so-called history; yet
many men VINO would ruin the State
il they could, and who have endavor-
ed for years to destroy Nevada, are
portrayed in grand style. AS to the
pictures OF the ladies in the book,
oh, horrors! They are stigma on
the fair daughters of the Silver State.
The wretches must have hunted up
the oldest, coarsest, ugliest, in fact,
the most homely looking women in
the State, and pursuaded them into
the belief that they were handsome,
so they would pay to have their PIC
lures in the book. However, it is
we'll known fact, that pretty ladies
never do make handsome pictures.
But then, if this book should happen
to make its way to the rising sun, the
people there would certainly form
wrong opinion of our ladies. After
thoroughly nspecting the engravings
the mechanical work oeing very fair,
we feel grieved to state, that the only
intelligent appearing people who had
their photographs in the book, were
the mules Earnessed to the freight
wagons. We intend no insult by this
comparison to the mules. In re
gard TO the chapter devoted to Lin
coin county, which we hardly glanced
at, we found several gross misstate
ments in regard to occurrences hap
pening In this county. AS history
the book is failure, but as "a photo
graph album of "Cnknown People
and Would be Somebodios of Nevu-
da," 1t is perfection. We are glad to
note that there was not one person
in Lincoln county foolish enough to
"ante" and make a goose of himself
by having his picture placed in the

The Reason Why.

The Virginia Chronicle speaking
OF w. W. Booher, Supt. of schools of
Storey county, reflects severely upon
his occupying that position while
teaching school in Lyon county.
1t is but justice to Mr.. Booher to
explain that he could have had a
school in storey county but d'd not
think it the correct thing to accept
position in which he would be in a
manner subject as teacher to himself
as County Superintendent, and in
which he would be in a position
scarcely contemplated by the con-
stitution, to audit his own bills; also
in case of vacancy in the board of
trustees to appoint one or pofsibly
all of his employers. The salary of
Superintendent of schools will not
justify capable man in devoting
his " hole time to the duties OF the
office, and Mr.. Booher to be consist
ent as public officer, and for the
sake of decent appearances and the
fitness of things generally, preferred
accepting the school at Sutro to
teaching under himself at higher
salary in Virginia.

A Terrible Accident.

On Sunday morning says the Frib-

of tue Voltaire mill, was fixing a
belt in the machinery by nistake
the same was put in motion, and MI
Taylor's right arm drawn in and
crushed in a frightful manner. Drs.
White and Lee we're sent for and
found the bone of the arm complete.
ly drawn out from the elbow joint
and the bone laid bare. The medi-
cal gentlemen did all that science
could suggest, hut it Is their opinion
that amputation alone can save Mr..
Taylor's life. In Difference to the
wish of the injured man Dr.. Weber
was sent for to consult. Mr.. Taylor
is one of the Oldest mining engineers
of the Comstock and generally re-
spected; lie has a wife and family
living in Dayton, for whom l.. L..
Crockett went this morning. 1t is
the fl st accident that has occurred
at the Voltaire.
Word was received yesterday that
he was in a very critical situation.
His arm is now so swollen that am
putation cannot be performed until
the swelling abates, and the surgeons
are doubtful ABOUT his recovery.
