Perfect wisdom

Would give us perfect health. Because men
and women are not perfectly wise, they must
take medicines to keep themselves perfectly
healthy. Pure. rich blood is the basis OF good
health. Hoods sarsaparilla is the One True
Blood Purifier. 1t gives good health because
Il builds upon the true ioundation-pure blood.
Hoods PilIs are purely vegetable, per
fectly harmless, always reliable and beneficial.

Their is on foot another mining
in this State that will
assist Dayton very materially if it
be carried out as proposed. 1t has
been known for many years past
that there are many gold-bearing
quartz lodges in Dana Canyon, this
county, but it has been supposed,
mp to the present time, that the
lodges we're too low grade to be
profitably worked. And really
such has been the case until within
the past few years.
Several years ago there was con-
siderable prospecting done in Dana
Canyon, and at no very great depth
some very good sized lodges Of gold
bearing quartz were discovered.
sAn.ng the claims that prospected
well, and upon which some little
work was done is the Standard,
owned at that time by w. ]. Har-
ris, w. J. Douglass, Jas. Hardwick
and one or two others. The claim
showed up a large ledge of gold ore
that assayed from So to So or 80
per ton. At that time this find
was not considered of much value
because the expenses of mining,
hauling and milling were SO great.
Since then methods for working
gold ore have come into use which
are much less expensive.
The Standard claim is now own
ed by Messrs. Harris, Fielding,
Clements and others, in Virginia
City, and the gentlemen are en-
deavoring to induce capital to in
vestigate the merits of their prop
erty.
1t has been shown that Dana
Canyon and the surrounding count
ry is full of large low-grade gold
lodges, and the gentlemen propose
to make a business proposition of
working this ore in about the fol-
lowing manner:
At the old Ophir mill site there
is splendid water power, and the
distance from this point to the fur
therest point of the mining ground
is not over three miles. The COM
pany would probably put in a lit
tie electric road to convey the ore
to the plant on the river, where it
would be worked by some one of
the new and inexpensive methods
of reducing free gold ore. The fall
from the mines to the mill site is
considerable, SO that very little
power would be necessary to trans
port the ore from the mines to the
mill. In all probability the lodges
can be worked through tunnels,
which would be the cheapest, but
if hosting is necessary an electric
plant at the mill on the river would
readily furnish power which could
be transmitted to the hosting
works.
Taking all these things into con-
sideration we cannot but think
that the owners of the Standard
and other claims in Dana Canyon
have very fine proposition to offer
to capitalists for development. Ger
tainly if such bodies of ore as are
in the country spoken of were in
or Africa, and the facilities
for working the4ore were the same
would be scrambling
over each other to invest their
money. M

A man that has a pate" so good,
Fears not the shafts that's hurled;
But onward goes and conquers well
The troubles Of the world.
And as he goes he scatters round
The kindly gems OF mirth,
That glisten In the path of life
And gladdens all the earth;
But On wheel,

As though he had a newer birth,
And all would see
Wheel race with glee;
For racing by electric light

THE WALDORF'S OWNER.


"A So, 00O, 900 Investment Which MIR. Astor
Has Seen but Once.
William Waldorf Astor has So, 600, e
600 invested i'll the Waldorf hotel and
has never been under its roof but once
only to visit friend who happened to
be staying there. He drove up to the
ladies entrance, walked through tho
hall about 90 feet to an elevator, got
out at the fifth floor, went to Mr.. Kis-
sans room, remained half an hour or
more, rode down the elevator, walked
to his carriage without looking to the
right hand or the left and drove away.
He has been i'll New York several
times since his hotel was completed, but
this is the only time he has ever entered
the doors. Whether his Indifference is "a
freak or an atfectation no one seems to
know. The managers of his business,
who are old family friends and occupied
similar relation with his father, sub
mitted to him the plans of the architect
before construction was begun, and they
We're approved by him, and he, OF
course advised us to all that relates to
tho property But he never goes there.
A friend suggests that his peculiarly
may perhaps arise from the fact that
his late wife took an active part in
planning and particularly in selecting
the decorations of the house, but ono
would suppose that would increase his
interest III il.
A special reason for Mr.. Aston to feel
an attachment for the Waldorf is found
on the first floor, where the dining room
of his grandfather Is exactly reproduced.
When the old mansion WAS torn down
to make way for the hotel, the archi-
tects carefully removed the decorations
from the walls of the original dining
room, the old fashioned marquetry floor
was taken up, the mantel, sidehoards,
window frames and doors, the fireplace,
the chandeliers, and, in fact, all the fin
ishings and furnishings, which are OF
black walnut handsomely carved, were
slowed away and then reset i'll what i,

THE GLOBE HOTEL.
Reminiscence of "A Famous HosteIry of
