Trouble
Policeman Hill arrested All Chew, n
Chinese peddler, the other day for driving
faster than walk over the crossing OF
First and Main streets. Yesterday the
heather, who is cross-eyed and very
ugly, was tried before Judge Morrison.
Hill testified that he had warned Chew
a number of times and had gotten tired
of it. Chew had engaged a lawyer to de-
fend him and this attorney wanted to
prove that the horse that the Chinaman
drove was knock need. spawned, had but
one eye, was about 81 years old and on
account of all these Affections was incap-
able OF going faster than walk. For
that purpose he had brought the horse to
the police station to be used as evidence.
The lawyer wanted Justice Owens to take
look at him through the window, but
the court ruled that the evidence was not
admissible.
The defense had witness who testified
that when Policeman Hill held up his
stick as a warning the horse nearly fell
dead. The Judge found conviction
just the same and All Chew was forced to
contribute 50 to the city treasury.

Major-General 0. O. Howard greatly en-
joyed his trip up Mount Love- as is
shown by the following letter he sent to
yilliam II. Knight yesterday:
1.-The pleasant excursion that you gave
my family and myself to Mount Lowe
was unique. The zig-zag portion in the
canyon is not so surprising as the lift to
the beautiful hotel half way up the great
pountain. The power of water flowing
through a small pipe, the electric parts,
the perfect machinery the observatory,
and all the appointments bespeak the
fsrethought of genius, always belong ing
to Professor Lowe. But oh, there is sur
passing beauty in the panorama lewed
from the crest Of Echo Mountain. Mary.

The Scarlet Fever

The Elko Independent says: There
are several cases OF scarlet fever in town
and it behooves our people to take
measures to guard against the spread
Of the disease. In some cases the
form OF the disease is light and it is
called s~carletina, which is only a mild
err form Of the dread disease, scarlet
fever, and is just as contagious as the
we'll developed type of the disease.
This being true parents should keep
their children away from those who
are down with the disease and take
other sanitary measures to prevent its
spread. 1t is well also to bear in mind
that scarletina, scarlet rash and scarlet
fever are one and the same disease
and equally as contagious.

Trying 60 ssop Gambling.

Steps have been taken at Boise City,
Idaho, against the playing Of what is
termed percentage stud poker" the
favorite game Of the State among the
sporting fraternity. A gambler run
ming a game has been arrested and
the east will be a test. Much import
ance is attached to it. The sports are
arrayed on one side and the enemies
Of the green cloth on the other, and
the case will go to the highest court.
Idaho has a law prohibiting percent
age stud poker. Prior to its passage,
it was dealt similar to faro, but after
the law was passed every player was
allowed to deal, the banker merely
taking in his percentage upon the ap-
pearance OF pairs.

THOUSAND DOLLAR ROCK.

II is a green and inexperienced miner
or promoter who comes 10 q capitalist
in this city and talks about a ledge
carrying ore worth from $3.50 to 81 ,0OC
a ton. Where such ore is found there
is usually not much OF it. Such things
occur in pocket mines, it is true, but
the mines which pay best in the long
run show none OF that kind OF ore.
Men Of experience who want to invest
in properties these days are looking
for large lodges Of medium or low grade
ore rather than small lodges Of rich
ore. There is much more money in
the big lodges. and they last longer
and pay deeper.
The man who talks about two and
three hundred dollar rock in quantity
may be listened to, but little attention
is paid TO his statements. Our friends
in southern California, most OF whom
are new at gold mining. are doing their
section o harm than good by talk
ing of two or three thousand dollar
rock. Assays Of picked samples from
almost any mine ought to show such a
result, but milling the rock would not.
But people do not buy gold mines on
assay alone. They want to see some
signs of a steady paying proposition
and do not want to buy a pocket"
which may give out in a week. That
sort Of mining may do for an individ-
ual miner doing his own work, but the
capitalist wants another kind OF prop
erty. Ore yielding 500 or $50 per ton
is considered rich rock in a gold mine
and plenty of money can be made out
of it. Indeed, IS and 81 rock is pretty
good where there is plenty of it. But
when one comes to talk Of hundreds
and thousands per ton in gold mines
those with experience in the business
set the talker down as an enthusiast
or a greenhorn.-S. F.. Call.

is now a farmhouse, picturesque
enough, but exhibiting no special signs

The farmer sent for a carpenter to do

among other things to mend the
knocker on the door. The man took
it off and said, after a close examina-
ton OF it: DO you know what this
knocker is made Off Why, brass, ]
suppose NO, it is pure gold.' And
it was. Think of the years that that
rich prize had hung at the mercy o
