w. L. DAVIS, EDITOR WHITE PINE
NEws-Dear Sir: The assistance of
the Press ut our State is essential TO
the success of the work undertaken
by the Board of Trade, and We hope
10 secure your active support. In
order to give intelligent answers to
inquiries from a distance, the Board
must have definite information con-
corning the resources and capabilities
OF every part OF the State, and we
suggest that the different papers each
devote an issue TO the description of
its county. The Board of Commits
sioners ought 10 be willing to pay the
expense of preparing such a state
ment, out of the public funds, and TO
provide cut of map TO be printed
with it.
Extra copies should be printed for
the use of the Board, for which rea-
sonable price would be paid. Such
an edition would be valuable to adj
vertisers, and you could doubtless
make good contracts on the strength
OF 1t. II further suggestions are de-
sired, please communicate with the
Manager of the Board at Reno. Re-
specially,
FRANCIS @. NEwLANDs,
President.
ALLEN G.. BRAGG, Secretary.

Nos as Good .. the Joanna.

The 25O-stamp mill at the Tread
we'll mine, Alaska, brushes $50 tons
of ore daily. The ore yields 81 In
gold bullion per ton and the cost OF
extraction and milling Is 50 30 per
ton. The net daily profit TO tue own
ers is 81, 275, and their net annual in
come is $S,300,000. 1t is estimated
that the mine contains sufficient ore
to keep the $50 stamps in constant
operation for fifty years before the
supply is exhausted.

The Os.eola PIacers.

Dan De guile. writing to the Salt

Eventually some immensely rich

Davis Peak by those engaged In work.
ing the Osceola placer mines. Already
several big nuggets have been found
by small miners in times past.
The Osceola placer mines, great as IL
their area, do not contain smoothly
ly-washed powders and gravel, as do
the placers OF Califoi mia, but angular
fragments of quartz and other rocks,
showing that the whole mass was
originally a slide of decomposed ma
terial and that the vast deposit has
since, for ages, gone on accommodating
by the rolling and sliding down OF
additional fragments and disinter-
grated gauge and country rock.
1t is believed that the large new
ditch now being constructed by the
Osceola Company will give sufficient
water to work by hydraulic process
nearly all summer, even In an ordin-
airy year. This mine will either prove
an immensely valuable property, or
all the experts will be obliged to take
a back seat.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A typical Missourian from the back
counties appeared at the fremont house

He said his name was John Wakely.
About 8 o'clock he approached the clerks

"Guess I'll remain, cause I'm kinder

clerk. What's the name? Wakely? Oh,
yes; give you No. 56l-front room, with
bath, southern exposure. You can get
your dinner at g."
The fellow stood like a statute for a few
moments and then toek a chair opposite
the counter. At o'clock another clerk
saying:
MY names wakely. Guess I'll re-
main"
"Thank you, Mr.. Wakcly. Let's see
J6l, best room o that floor, IL not i'm the
house. Just make yourself at home here.'
The man seemed ~dumfounded mt some
thing, and returned to his char directly
opposite the register. When the night
clerk appeared at IL O'Clock the Mis-
sourian almost ran to the counter.
I'm glad they got n new boy" he said.
"Tm what they call 561, and ! want TO re.
main. DO you understand?'
'Certainly, Mr.. Wakcly. | am going
te eat my luncheon now, but IL ! can do
anything for you after that don't hesitate
to call upon me. BE pleased to serve
you, SIR"
The strange guest, after glaring AT the
clerk, returned to his chair, where he did
not move until 2 a. m. Then he was dis
turbed by a couple Of late boistcrous
travelling men.
We've had enough fun" spoke one of
the ~drtmmers. I'VE might as well retire,
and"
Here the man from Missouri jumped
about two feet in the air, yelling TO the
clerk: "Rctire. That's the burned word
I've been trying to say since yesterday
