measure: Some of these salaries
may be considered rather small but
Nevada is small State, and the re-
Enumeration stipulated in the above is
ample for the services rendered.

Gals, should cut the garment accord

that of man of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

the idea that they were to be posted
by themselves. He thought it d

Il brief note and then slip into an
envelope and put tie address and
the postage stamp on that. The
printed stamp on the postal card he
regarded as merely Il picture, an
ornament. He thought the whole
system little cumbersome and did
not use many postal cards in that
way. When he received one finally
addressed to himself. without an
envelope, his eyes were opened; but
he did not tell of his mistake until

This jury hev agreed that the
deceased can't be called a suicide,
bekase he didn't mean to kill himself;
it WASH t a visitation of God, bekase
he wasn't struck by lightning; he
didn die for want of breath, for he
hadn't anything to breathe with; it's
plain he didn't know what he was
about. so we hev decided that he

This Is Il notable invention in its line.

department. of mining operations which
| involves crushing the quartz 1t provides
n simple and comparatively inexpensive
substitute for the stamp mills. The in
Nention is patented by Mr.. Andcreas Z.
Anderson, of Oriental, NeV. This crusher
works upon the principle Of a large,
revolving, hollow drum, resting between
two bearing rollers and inside the revolv-
ing drum is n heavy free roller, which
rolls upon the inner periphery of the
drum crushing the material, which is fed
inside from the feed chutes overhead
through aXial openings in the ends Of the
drum, the two compartments being thus
Independently supplied The ends of the
drum are provided with web of wire
mesh, which prevents the escape of the
larger fragments, which being reduced To
powder or batter by the roll can discharge
through the open network into the almal-
gamating vessels in the usual manner.
The interior of the dram IL divided into
two compartments by n central annular
tlauge, and the crushing roller is CORE
spondingly formed with central neck
portion which clears the flauge as II
reVolves, and the tlange serves To guide
the roller and keep it in exact longitudinal
limits. The supporting rollers are spaced
apart sufficiently to permit driving belt
to be passed directly around the center of
the drum, The drum is revolved with
very little power as compared with n
stamp mill, and light engine will do
comparatively moro work with this
machine than with n more cumbersome

our belief that the bill was good
one. There has got to be some sys-

long, and when it is begun there may
besome dissatisfaction, but the longer
the matter is put off the worse will
be the dissatisfaction and the harder
will it be to strengthen out the com
