Because willie Went skating.

Parental solicitude is natural and
proper. but it has its ridiculous
phases. 1t wasn't very long since
Willie went skating. His mother was
filled with apprehension, and spent
about half the day standing in the
front door to see whether he was COM
ing home stiff and cold on a shutter or
otherwise. His sister waded through
the snow to tell his father, and the old
gentleman got his feet wet standing
on the edge of the pond trying to make
his son hear his command to come
home. Nobody but Willie had an ap-
petite for the evening meal. His
mother now looks after the hired girl
little when she can leave her room /;
his father has such cold in his head
that he cannot talk, and his sister has
such cough that she is afraid to leave
the house, and when any of them
wants any medicine Willie goes and
buys it.-Washington Post.

LAST WORDS AND WISHES
Tssst Mark the Manners of the Men
THAT Utferea Them.

"I.et Us cross oves the river and
rest under the trees, ,"-she' last words
Of the rebel general, expresses pa
thetic wistfulness for the final rest we
all must take. But the resignation in
dicated in the words belong only to
the old and weary, and not to those
of youthful grit like the one who
taught Gyp, the rock Of Barnaby
Rudge, TO croak defiance in the words
"never say die" OF the latter class
were most of the pioneers on this
coast, as pioneers usually are in all
countries, for they embrace the rug
ged and strong, who illustrated Dar-
wins theory OF the survival OF the fit
test, for the weak ones fall by the way
side ere the goal is reached. These
reflections lead to recall OF the last
words Of few Of our pioneers, who
with perfect resignation signalled the
grim ferryman when assured that they
must eros the dark river. The ruling
passion strong in death has been IL
lustrated oft and again by the dying
sport, when his last request has been
to "pull off his boots" The reten-
ton OF this faculty TO the last moment
cannot be assigned wholly to brag-
gadocio. and whatever il may be at
tributed to, it is unnecessary to con-
lecture, for illustrations are plentiful
that it does exist. Every proneer can
recall some instance where last words
have been impressive, and no matter
how rugged they were expressed, car
ried with them a gentle pathos and
marked the character OF the man.
Joggles Wright was one OF the happy
go-lucky mining operators OF the early
days, who was always at home where
ever night overlook him, and always
ready for fun, no matter how pressing
work was. He liked toddy, but was
never quarrelsome. On his death bed
in Virginia City some friends standing
at his bedside we're looking sad, when
Joggles gave last look of recognition
and said, Don't look so solemn
boys; the doctors have got corner on
me, but let's take a drink" Ready
hands held his head to the glass,
which he slipped, and settling back
was dead.
Red Frank Wheeler during the lat
ter years OF his life never drank any
thing but brandy, and his last words
were 4" Boys let's take night cap"
and expired as they laid his head on
the pillow.
Patsy Duffy the prize fighter re-
ceiyed his death wound from pistol
shot. II occurred in Hamilton, and
as he doubled over and fell to the floor
his last words were, " My goose is
cooked" The boys picked him up,
laid him on table and pulled off his
boots as life futtered away.
But why multiply the illustrations,
when they all point to the ruling pas
sion and generally mark the leading
characteristic Of the man. - Reno

now To FIND A MINE.
Different Sorts of Mines Are Dis
covered I'm Various WAYS.

Few people in this part OF the
country have any idea OF the difficulty
OF finding mine. A man who follows
ii for living must thoroughly under
stand the nature OF the district in
which he is. Different sorts of mines
are found in different ways, says a
writer in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. II you are in placer district,
OF course, you have nothing to do ex-
cept to walk along stream, with a
pan in your hand, and test the soil by
washing till you come to pay dirt. But
il you know nothing about it you will
waste great deal OF time testing dirt
that an experienced prospector would
know at glance contained no gold.
In a true fissure or contact district the
experienced prospector will walk along
the bottom of the gulches looking for
" floats" although he expects to find
the mine far up the mountain side.
The float is vein matter which breaks
off with the settling OF the mountain
and rolls down its sides. The pros
pector who is acquainted with the dis
trict knows it at once, and when he
finds it climbs the mountain till he as
eertains where it came from. A ten
derioot would never know what it was.
But sometimes tenderfoot strikes
1t richer than anybody. The Silent
Friend mine at Pitkin, COL, which
showed nine-foot vein OF solid galena
,ue grass roots, was found by two
Sweede railroad hands who didn't
know what mineral was, and gave
away three-frourths of their interest
before they discovered its value. Ex-
perienced prospectors had been over
the ground thousands OF times, but
there were no external evidences OF
the lead. The Sweedes found it by
rolling bowlder down the mountain.
The mineral cropped out from the
place where the bowlder had been.
The great carbonate fields of Lead
vile were found by man who was
thought insane for sinking a shaft
where there were no external eviden-
ces Of mineral. He found the carbon
ate in a =" blanket vein," lying level as
a sheet OF water, great distance be-
low the ground. A regular prospec-
tor would never have sunk a shaft
there. But where one tenderfoot
strikes it that way a ahundred thousand
get broke and go home disgusted.

mErALLIFERoUs MURPHY.
An Expert on Rock, ana asa Ex'
FOUNDER Of Law.


In early times in Eastern Nevada,
there was, among the mining experts,
one named Murphy, who acquired a
wide reputation from an oft used re-
mark made by him whee. exhibiting
any specimens of ore found by him.
self. lie would assert its great value
by saying +" It's fine rock. and highly
metalliferous in its character. When
the argentiferous galena ores we're first
found in that part of the State, they
were not valued very highly because
the methods OF reduction we're not
understood. Then Murphy would
qualify the above phrase by saying,
But its component parts are princi-
pally lid" (lead.) From these express
sions he became known as "Met-
alliferous Murphy" and the name at
taches to him yet, although he has
long since extended his prospecting
field into the great beyond. In the
early history OF Treasure City, he was
elected Justice OF the Peace, and pre-
sided over the Court with a severe
dignity that compensated for lack of
legal knowledge, and in fact covered a
multitude OF sins, for he run the
coourt" " against all opposition. On
one occasion a belated Juror was
startled when he sneaked into the
courtroom, by his honor asking,
" Mike Dolan, phwy do ye kape the
coourt waitin this way?" Mike ans
wered, Your honor, my clock is set
for slow time" but he sat down as If
shot when his honor said, " Sit down,
sir How dare ye be argy'in pints
wild the coourt." On one occasion,
among the attorneys in the case before
him was the late W. w. Bishop, who
was arguing disputed point, wherein
misjoinder OF the defendants was
claimed because Of the use OF the term,
ct al. To settle the point, Bishop
asked the courts opinion, which was
declined, by the court telling him,
that gintleman of his knowledge
ought to know well enough" Bishop
insisted and the court complied by
saying, Its derived from two Greek
words, ct and al, and it simply names

case was tried on its merits.-Reno
