An Important Mining Discovery.

William Ross, an old prospector,
has created the greatest mining cx.
element Of the year. He has been
prospecting in the Fox range OF
mountains about twenty miles north
Of Pyramid Lake, and discovered u
lead that is over one hundred feet
wide. and that can be traced by crop
pings for over four miles. Tho for
nation in which the lead il situated
is porphyry on the hanging wall and
slate ON the foot wall. Tho trend Of
the lead ia almost due north and
south. with a dip To the west. There
are millions Of tons OF ore i'll sight.
Tho ore has Ii blush tinge and con
tains n high percentage OF granite.
Assayers say they never saw anything
ike it before. 1t contains from s6 to
SI2 per ton in gold. The ore is free
from base metal aud sulphurcts. the
gangue being quartz md gra; lite.
Assaycrs say it n be worked by or
binary mill process, rs the gold is
free. Samples OF tho ore have been
taken to the State University. and it
will be treated by Professor jackson
OF the mining department.. who will
anllyze il and determine how it can
be worked.
From reports received the ore body
Ia M extensive MS that Of the Tread
we'll mine OF Alaska, and carries more
than twice rs much gold. The facili.
ties for working tho ore on the ground
are good. There is an abundance OF
wood and about fifty inches OF water,
with plenty OF fall. The mine is
about 80 miles due north Of Reno.
and is about 10 miles from the ter
minus OF the NC. o. at Amadec. Mr..
Rose, the discoverer OF tho mine,
named il the Tin-Silver lead, liz he

Allinncia on the homeward voyage
from Colon to New York when six
miles from the coast OF Cuba, oil Cape
May was repeatedly fired upon by the

which fortunately fell short to the

occurred is the natural and usual
highway for vessels plying between
ports Of the United States and the

well-known. and their voyage embrace
no Cuban port Of call. The forcible
interference with them canEot be
claimed rs II bolligercnt act, and can,

are regular water rats and 1t is only by
the greatest diligence that l am able
to keep them from being in the water
all the time. They will stay in until
they are blue in the face, hurriedly
yanls on their clothes while they are
wet and run over to the monument,
where some one is always playing base
ball. They will perhaps be gone about
half an hour or just long enough to get
warm and then come sneaking back. II
remember their faces as having been
in before l make some inquiries, but
have never yet been able to get an ac-
acknowledgement from any of them that
they have been in the water. They al
ways appear to be highly indignant at
even the suggestion of such thing,
and invariably say: why, what's the
matter with you? l amt been in the

brother Jim must have been down here.
He looks heap like me and he told me
he was coming down to the beach,
To man who either can't swim or
don't want to swim, it is very interest
ing to look at the motley sizes and
shapes of humanity parading the beach,
going down into the water and coming
up out of the water. There are fat
men and fat women, and lean men, but
no lanlSy women. The shadow girl
never sheds her laces and fluffy gar
ments to appear in a bathing suit. She
is sweet summer girl for the parlor of
the ice cream saloon; and she does not
exhibit her scrawniness to cold, cruel
and unsympathetic world. Some wom-
en- at the beach are disgustingly fat,
and yet they have no guardians to
teach them that they would better
adorn theiI homes than parade the
bathing beach, where the moonlight
casts their shadows so faithfully on the
sands that they look like giant turtles
wobbling along.
The men and women who can swim
have many games to play in the water.
There are two alright barrels anchored
short distance from the shore which
afford the most amusement. Two or
three people will get on them apd then
with the kindly assistance of some one
will be turned over so that somersault
is made. The spectators will wait for
the coming up and, according to the
distress of the swimmer and the amount
of water hs has to get out of his
mouth before he can take breath or
speak wocd is the success of the
sport. The boys and young men try to
duck" each other occasionally, but
there is a rigid rule against that sport.

fun to push friends head under wa

ter and noIu II there couple of min
utes. But there was drowning case
last year, the result of such sport"
and the young people are carefully
watched now to prevent further trouble
of that kind.
To the men and children who are un-
able to swim, and only care to get the
benefits of the bath, there is a space
inclosed within which the water Is
shallow, and there is not the least
danger of accident. For the older and
more experienced men the spring.
boards that extend from the wharf
afford the most amusement. Some of
the swimmers are quite venturesome
and so beyond the prescribed limits.
They are always warned, but if they
persist all that can be done is to keep
an eye on them from the lifeboat.
Some of the most venturesome OF our
swimmers are young ladies who have
recently learned how to keep them
selves ahoat. 1t is weakness of our
sisters that, where there is man in
sight to be captivated. they will take
great risks to demonstrate their brav-
cry, which is another name for fool
hardness. They look very pretty
floating on the waters surface. near
the shore, but they excite alarm when
they venture beyond their depth. A
stalwart life-saver swan out to a
venturesome girl the other night and
warned her to go nearer shore, as she
was in danger of getting cramps and
drowning. She saucily told him to
mind his own business. Thereupon the
life-saver told the young lady that he
would kiss her right then and there,
and started for her with swift strokes.
The girl screamed and hastily swan to
shore where she Indignantly told her
friends that she had been insulted and
demanded that the life-saver be dis
charged. The superintendent, how
ever, replied: II am only sorry that he
not kiss you. l am sure that he will
next time. But l think you VII be
inclined to obey regulations hereafter,
without being threatened with such
dire disaster as n kiss"
