wemen workfng IN h Fields.
Most Americans who travel In
Europe become indignant when they
see women working as farm-hsnds.
But Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf OF Phila-
delphia, now in Germany, says:
"Such farm work for women Is
neither degrading nor too taxing. They
have pledged to become helpmates to
their husbands and they regard II their
duty to lessen the labors Of their
fathers, and, being physically able to
do their share, they regard it wrong to
permit the stronger sex TO slave them
selves to death while they are idling
their time away at home. Judging
from their happy and healthy looks
they seem to be none the worse for
taking their places alongside the men
folk, for the purpose Of honestly earn
ing their bread. Had We q little more
practical good sense and less senti-
mentality among our women at home,
many q woman's life might be happier
to-day, happier for being more useful,
and many a mans life would be spared
the necessity Of shaving itself 10 death
to indulge a wife's or daughters idle
ness and luxuries."

Another Big strike.

The Carson Appeal records the fact
that another big strike has been made
in the vicinity Of Pine Nut. w. III.
Bagwill, who works in Torreyson's
blacksmith shop. is the lucky locator.
He is down but 16 feet on the ledge
and is taking out silver ore that assays
$216 per ton. The ledge starts at the
top less than two inches wide and at
16 feet 1t is over s inches. There is
plenty OF wood and water in the
vicinity and the location is in q direct
line from Pine Nut, about six miles
west. The ledge, which can be traced
several hundred feet by the crop
pings. makes straight toward the
Pine Nut ledge, which is nearly all
gold.
II it should turn out that the ledge
is @ continuation Of the Pine Nut ledge
it would indicate q larger ledge than
the Comstock and richer at the grass
roots.
The excitement over the Zirn dis
coveries is undated and the gold on
exhibition at the Arlington is so rich
that no one disputes the assay Of $780,
900 O ton.

L.bor,,~ I'm High Attitudes.

According to an American journal,
some curious facts were brought to
light on the capabilities Of men to
labor at high attitudes during the con-
struction of the Peruvian Central Rail-
road. This line starts at Lima and,
proceeding inland, reaches it's highest
point at the tunnel of Galeria, l5,645
feet above sea level. 1t is stated that
men we're able to do a fair "s~ea-level"
days work as long as the altitude did
not exceed 5000 to 10000 feet above
sea level, but beyond this there was .
sudden falling off in the work Of one
fourth to one-third up to heights Of
$4,000 feet, and at still higher eleva-
tions 100 men were required TODD work
easily done by fifty at sea level.

The discoveries OF gold in this State
will make life for Carson and all
western Nevada, says the Carson
Tribune, as all Carson is excited over
the recent wonderful strike made in
the promising Zirn-Zhulz mine, at
Pine Nut. At a depth Of rs feet Zirn
ran into an ore body that to all APP
pearences was half gold. In two
hours he took out 5000 in fine gold and
during the day extracted ore that to
the naked eye seemed half gold and
which is estimated to be worth 81, 400.
Mr.. Zirn, who brought in the ore
and gold last night, claims that there
is fully 20 feet Of the fabulously rich ore
in sight. II 50 Messrs. Zirn and Zhulz
win lie Independently rich men within
a fortnight. These men deserve a for
tune for their confidence in the mine
and tenacity with which they have
stuck TO and continued prospecting it.
This wonderful strike will no doubt
attract mining men and capt.
talists to Pine Nut from all sections Of
the Coast as it is proof that a gold de-
p,-Jit Of mammoth proportions exist
at Pine Nut. The strike makes every
body feel good and already property
has gone up in Carson 25 per cent.

The action of the foot in walking Is
q subject regarding which much has
been written of late. In spite of
Delsartean admonitions, very few
American women have adopted the
correct walk, where the weight of the
body is placed entirely upon the ball
of the foot and the heel touches the
floor after the ball, instead Of coming
down first with an injurious thump
that jars the whole body. The fact
that a graceful, light walker attracts
general attention in American cities
clearly demonstrates that We are still
far behind our English cousins in this

The Carson Appeal says: The syn

sired to take up land in the Carson
valley, are now investigating in the

the land is held very high here, as
soon as any one wants to purchase,
and that the high railroad freights are
also q drawback. They are turning
towards the southern part of Nye
county as it is on the same isothermal
line as Los Angeles and will be cut by
