II was the pleasure OF the editor oil

Saturday evening to meet the we'll
known and able mining engineers, A.
w. Topps and @. G. w. Locke Of Lon
don, Eng, who have spent the last three
or four weeks in most caielul exami-
nation of the Picacho mines, both placer
and quartz. Both are mining engineers
OF national reputation and need no in
PRODUCTION to the mining public, and
were sent here to fully investigate the
Picacho Placer Mining company's al
fsirs as managed by President Clayton
Smith. Both were led to believe that
the whole scheme was fraud, and that
the English company had spent $780,
600 on wind. When they reached the
company's property st Picscho and be-
gan their examinations as to the golds
the area OF its extent, the amount per
cubic yard, they were aatonished.
When through with the placers
they took up the quartz, and
here they we're still more as
tonished at the rich reeults OBJ
tainedA They lett for London Sunday
morning and expect to be back within
30 days. On leaving Yuma they said :
From what we have seen and from
what we have heard from reliable par
ties We candidly believe that Yuma is in
the center OF the largest and richest
gold belt in the world" The gentlemen
are well acquainted with the great gold
fields of Australia and Mr.. Locke. es-
pecially, with South Africa, while Mr..
Toppe is practically with all of the
mining sections OF the United States.
Such testimony in regard to Yuma's gold
mines is invaluable and shows what we
expect from foreign capitalists. Presi-
dent Clayton Smith OF the Picacho COM
pany, accompanied Messre. Toppe and
Locke on their trip to London. They
will return April lst. when work will be
resumed on the Picscho mines with a
full force of men working day and night.

A good story is told of belle who was
noted for her wit. At dinner party the
lady in question, the daughter of dstin-
guished judge, was seated next to gen
tleman whom she had not met before, who
was visiting the city on business which
had brought him in contact with the Judge
mentioned, who had short time previous
ly decided a case against him.
At the dinner the gentleman, who had
not caught the name of the lady when in
PRODUCED, took occasion to vent his feelings
and express his opinions of the judge In
terms anything but complimentary.
An awful pause In the conversation in
dicated something wrong, and the gentle
man at once expressed To the lady his hope
that the judge was no relative of hers, to
which, to the infinite amusement Of all
present, she replied;
sob, no. Only a connection Of my
mothers by marriagei"
A shout of laughter could not be pre-
vented, and the gentleman, after a little
reflection, came slowly to the conclusion
that the judges family were altogether
"too much" for him.-London Tit-Bits.

Everybody Should Sing.

A writer on singing says; "At the pres
emit era, when physical culture is a part of
the curriculum of our most intellectual
schools and is so generally regarded as
necessary element toward supplying and
maintaining the sound body for the sound
mind, it is worth while to consider re-
cent statement of eminent physicians that
the mere exercise of singing is great help
toward the prevention, cure or ameliora-
tion of lung diseases. 1t was disclosed by
statistics in Italy some years ago that
vocal artists are usually long lived and
healthy and that brass instrument players,
who bring their lungs and chest into unu-
sual activity, have not had a consump-
tive victim among them. No matter how
thin or weak the voice, young people should
be encouraged to indulge in song There
could be no happier medicine, and if hear
ers sometimes suffer they should be en-
couraged TO bear the infliction in view Of
the good it may do. '-Argosy.

Tho Ant as an Engineer.

The pastry was delicious, and wanted it my

shelf,
And to keep II from the insects, those ants so
red and small,

But the enemy approached It, all as hungry as
could be-
And the captain, with his aid-de-camp, just
skirmishcd round TO see
Whether they could ford this river or should
try some other plan,
And together with his comrades he around the
liquid ran.
To his joy and satisfaction, after travelling
around,
The place where the molasses was the narrow

Then again he rcconnoitered, rushing forward
and then back,
Till he spied some loosened plaster in the wall
around II tack.
/ He divided then his forces, with foreman for
each squad,
And he marshaled the whole army and before
| him each ant trod
His directions all were given; TO his chiefs he
gave call,
] While he headed the procession as they
marched Off up the wall.
/ Every ant then seized his plaster, just speck
and nothing more,
/ And he climbed and tugged and carried till
he'd brought it to the shore;
/ Then they built their bridge, just working for
an hour by the sky,
After which they all marched over and all fell

Theory About Bee Stings.

1t is fact not generally known that if
one holds his breath wasps, bees and
hornets can be handled with IMMUNITY
The skin becomes stingproof and hold
ing the insect by the feet and giving her
full liberty of action you can see her
drive her weapon against the impene-
trable surface with force which lifts her
body at every stroke, but let the small
est quantity of air escape from the lungs
and the sting will penetrate at once. |

young ladies with very delicate hands to
astonish their friends by the perform

that laughing required breath. For a
theory in explanation | am led to be-

Heartworn and weary the woman sat,
Her baby sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed pitiful task for such as She
Mending shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor,
While the bells of the Sabbath day rang sweet
And the neighbors passed by the open door.
The children played, and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came,
When, 10! on the threshold stone there slept
A priestly figure and named her name:
"What shrift is this for the Sabbath day,
When bells are calling and far and near
The people gather to praise and prayf
Woman, why are you toiling here?"
Like one in a dream she answered low:
Father, my days are workdays all.

Where the beautiful bells ring out and call,
For who would look to the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the placer
Ipray in silence and try to think,
For Gods love can listen and give me grace"
The years passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good priest climbed to the gate of rest,
And tired woman stood waiting there,
Her workworn hands to her bosom pressed.
20 saint thrice blessed, mount thou on high"
He heard the welcoming angels say,
When meekly, gently, she passed him by,
Who had mended shoes on the Sabbath day

A LAND oF Mystery.


The Weird sketch Of Country Tapped by |
the Nevada southern Rond.
One of the most peculiar and interesting |
places on the American continent lies |
across the diagonal line that forms the |
southern boundary Of the state of Nevada, |
spreading into California and reaching al !
most 10 the line of the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad. The old forty-niners passed
through this section during the California
gold excitement. Many persisted from the
thirst. and the remains of their wagons,
such as the tires aud other iron parts, may
be found strewn about the valleys.
Near Resting springs man of the
name Of Lee has a ranch, an Indian wife
and family of eight children. Not far from
there is what is believed to be the famous
Gunsight mine. One of the pioneers in
passing through that section picked up
piece of lead almost pure and made sight
for his gun with It, It was so rich that
when hetold the story in civilization pros
pectors started out to locate it. The fact
of the similarity Of all the valleys led
many astray, and they persisted from
thirst His description Of the spot applied
to so many spots that no one has been able
to locate the mine, hut the present owners
believe they have found it.
The valley adjoining that which Is the
| route of the Nevada Southern is called
| pahrump 1t is the principal one of them
all for gold and silver aud lead mines. Up
the valley, which is one of those dry, bar
rem sand gulches between two perpendicu-
| lar walls of rock, is the Mesquite stamp
mill On one side is the Keystone gold
mine, from which $50. 900 has been ex-
tracted. Up at the head of the alley is the
| Montgomery gold district Several miles
above the mill ~ the Pahrump springs,
where hardy pioneer has settled in
beautiful little oasis and reared family
Those who have visited the family say
that away off there, imprisoned by canyon
walls and sandy deserts, is the most beau
tiful woman i'm the west. She is one of ma
lures queens, and her fame for beauty is
spreading quite rapidly since grim civil
cation placed his foot in the Pahrump val
ley. The Pahrump valley has not been
noted for its civilization. A band of rene
gade Indians-a mixture of the Mohaves.
Chingowayras and Piutes, all of which in
habit that country-have settled in it,,
They once had chief, and when he died
his son WIS the candidate for the chief
tainship.
The tribe did not want him and would
not elect him, so they went without a
head, but not for long. Tecopa stepped
into the Job and has since held 1t and is
looked up to as the chief. Chief Tecopa s
attire consists of plug hat and an old
striped shirt. Once in awhile he wears
trousers, but very seldom. When Mr..
Blake went there Chief Tecopa said that he
owned all that country, and that his con-
sent was necessary before any railroads
could he built. His consent could be
bought with plug hat and red striped
shirt. These being promised over pipe,
Tecopa allowed the white chief to proceed
with his rairoad.-Denver Republi can.

I'll hang deep Grape on the door Of my heart

And wrap miles of band round the cap and bell,

And III make myself, In a solemn way,
A most Internal bore.
But where's the use? It's queer old world,
With not too much JOY at the best.
And there's never heart, II it is a heart,

Slaves by their own compulsion. In mad game

With ardor as intense and pure,
As when amidst the rites divine
took thy troth and plighted mine,
To thee, dear love, my second ring,
A token and pledge bring.
With this ! wed, till death us part,
Thy ripper virtues to my heart
These virtues which. before untried,
The wife has added to the bride
These virtues whose progressive claim,
Endearing wedlock's very name,
My soul enjoys, my heart approves
For conscience sake as well as loves.
For why? They teach me, hour by hour,
Honor's high thought, affections power,
Discretions deed, sound Judgments sen

And teach Inc all things-but repentance.

Wilt some wise man who has journeyed
Over land and over sea
To the countries where the rainbow
And the glorious sunsets be
Kindly tell a little stranger,
Who has oddly lost her way,
Where's the road that she must travel
To return to Yesterday
For, you see, she's unfamiliar
With Today and cannot read
What its strange, mysterious signposts
Tell of ways and where they lead,
And her heart upbraids her sOrely,
Though she did not mean TO stay
When she fell asleep last evening
And abandoned Yesterday.
For she left deal neglected
That she really should have done,
And she fears she's lost some favors
That she fairly might have won,
So she'd like TO turn her backward
To retrieve them II she may
Will not some one kindly tell her
Where's the road 10 Yesterday

Less than 1873 years ago the little plant
known to the botanists as Lepachy's col
umnaris was only known to inhabit a
small section of country in the very south
ern portion Of Louisiana. Some time later
it was reported as occurring sparinglyalong
the Canadian river, and later still on the
Arkansas. Since that time it has slowly
spread north, west and east, even to the
very source of the Missouri, over into the
British possessions and is now said to be
erecting along the Saskatchewan toward
Hudson bay. How plant which origi-
lated in a warm climate could accustom
,tself to such changes is another OF natures
mysteries. Louis Republic.
