man of Moray, Nevada put up tt Q means

The Ferguson boys discovery seemed to
fully meet his expectations. After buy
ing a half interest with Mr. Geer in the
extension he turned his attentions toward
Pahranagat district. Here Mr.. COIN
met a complete surprise. Almost by &C.

PIotHE STEAM LAUNDRY.
Tleuty Of customers and Hot, Soft
Water An Enterprise For Some
One. A ~

From all appearances there is a good
chance for some one to start a steam
laundry here. Many (mostly ladies) are
complaining that there is ro other re-
course than to send their clothes 10 china
wash houses. They also complain, that
from too abundant use of chemicals in
the cleaning process there, the clothes do
not last as long as they otherwise would.
Every body should ard no doubt would
patronize American, rather than China
labor. a.
AT the new smelter the exhaust steam
heats the water which goes to the boilers
and in so doing condenses itself. This
flow Of pure water runs out boiling hot,
in quantities sufficient to wash all the
clothes Of Phoebe. Arrangements could
no doubt be made to buy that flow Of
soft water with no extra charge for the
presence of heat and the absence of lime.
The REooeD suggests these facts fol
the consideration Of any one v no may see
fit to investigate farther The plan GER
tainly looks possible. 49,.

Telling Time by the Sage Brush.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Marcus P. Hayne returned yesterday
morning from three weeks "trip through
the Koontenai country.
The vegetation in the Koontenai coun-
try is very SPARSE" said he to- day, land
you can travel for miles without finding
water. The sage brush, which is the only
living thing in the country whose gro with is
not stunted, grows TO an enormous hight In
single day, and dies in just thirty-six
hours. It is nourlshed by the alkali springs
which flow beneath the surface of the
ground, but it is fed SO abnormally that it
dies in an incomparably short time. We'll.
the natives in that district have got the
thing down so fine that they can tell by
looking at a piece Of sage brush just what
time of day It Is, 50 if you pull a watch on
EN- they'll know that you're a tenderfoot."
"Well, how can they tell the time by
looking at the sagep
"Well you see, they know that the sage
lives but thirty-six hours, and they are so
accustomed to it that they oan tell at q
glance to a minute just how far growth has
advanced"
"Yes, but they don't know what time of
day or night the sage began to grow, SO how
can they estimate the timer
"Oh, they tell that by the number of
