Looks I.fke Business.

White Pine News: We learn that
the Eberhardt Company has pur-
chased the Green Springs property
CFreelands' place), nine miles below
Eberhardt. The object OF the pur-
chase is said to be to use the water for
milling purposes. The company con-
slider it cheaper to haul the ore to the
Springs than TO repair the old water
works, which are in a dilapidated con-
dition. As the purchase was doubt
less at the instance Of the chairman OF
the company, who is on a tour OF in
spection OF the property, it looks as ii
the old Eberhardt meant to resume
operations at an early day.

known and greatly esteemed by many
friends In Taylor, where she resided
for several years. She leaves behind
a devoted husband and four small

The Postofice money order business
in Eureka amounts to between 10000
and s12 900 per month, or $4,000
Der annum. Only a trihing
amount of it is American or
domestic business. The great bulk OF
IL is foreign. The countries to which the
none is RENTED are Italy, China,
Cornwall, Sweden and Denmark.
The drain OF $l2 900 per month out oil
a small community like Eureka is a
yery considerable item. 1t shows that
ii all OF our money was kept at home
there would be a great many more
dollars in sight than are now visible in

where the snrw is fully four feet in

places in Taylor canyon where the
snow has blown from the mountain

the fact that yesterday the Gem res

Altube Bros. are seriously thinking

York; Taylor, Of Illinois; Bland, Of

Conger, the Chairman, voted
against FREQ coinage in tho Forty
ninth Congress. Wickman, Walker,
Tracy; Knapp, Taylor and Mutchler,
who with the Chairman, constitute a
clear majority, arc all radical mono
mctalists. Joaephs, OF New Mexico,
being only n delegate from a territory
has no vote. 1t will DO seen by this
that nothing favorable to the silver
interest can be expected from tho
committee to which ali measures re-
la.ing thoreto, must DO referred.

to National politics over the silver
question by the people Of tho silver

bers, who were selected by the Presi-

A RAZOR'S TEMPER.

In Most Instanees It Improves - tho
Blade Gets Older.
How does that razor go?" queried a
~wcll-known tonsorial artist Of n re-
porter 4 few days ago Us the latter was
being shaved
1T pulls . little" was the reply.
That's just what / thought" uttered
the barber, as ho wiped tho blade care
fully and proceeded to strup another
which he selected from y number lying
on his shelf.
"Do you know" he continued, "that
razors arc just as freaky and change
able as women? WHY, that razor l just
put away, after q gtsd hon:ng, will
sometimes shave twenty or thirty men
with only a slap or two ovcr tho strop
once in awhile, and perhaps somo other
time the edge will be gonc after l have
shaved two customers. Of coIrse somo
people claim that tho difference in
boards accounts for this, and tina is in
n great measure true, but oftcntimcs
tho edge will go back On a fellow whilo
shaving n man whose beard Is like silk.
Another peculiar thing about them
Is that they will not work for other peo-
pie the Same as for tho man whose Gus
wan ~ W . lIlCll NOW, L WOulu 1O9L
as soon think OF throwing all those nico
blades you SEQ lying on tho shelf away
as TO let some other man hon or strop
them for me. What's the reason? Well,
1t lies just here. There arc many diff
fercnt kinds Of edges, and only tho man
who is used TO tho razor can know what
they will stand. lie has to study them, Of
course, and no will know Just what
stroke to mako on his oilstono and what
passes to mako IN his strops. Tho razors
seem to become acquainted with tho
touch OF tho man who constantly handles
them. and work well for him; when, il
strange barber should take ono, his
work with it would DO likely TO be
rather poor for some time-in fact until
he had nursed the sensitive tlado
around TO his ways and his peculiar
touch"
Which do you consider tho best razor
to buy-tho most expensive or tho
cheaper grades?"
II was just coming 10 that No, I
don't think that as q rule expensive
razors are much better TO use than those
OF medium price and quality. Now
thero is.n razor said he, taxinp ono
with n horn handle down from tho shelf.
that l bought in an auction room for
twenty-five cents. That was chcap
enough, you must confess, yet cheap
as II was, IL Is now ono OF tho best razors
on my shelf. It having turned out ex-
actly as would wish. This razor Is good
on almost any face, whilo some others
which l have. whilo l can shave one man
with them with case. another man may
sit down In my chair and that same
razor will pull so that tho customer will
cry out with pain.
Another interesting fact about them
ls That they improve with ago, that is,
tho temper will improve, and | have had
razors In my possession which wcro OF
no earthly use TO the, but after having
them away for 4 yoar or two | would nick
them up onco more, when I would find
them hrst-class in cyory particular."-
