The belief strengthens daily that De-
Lamar is to become the metropolis oil
Eastern Nevada at no distant day.
Real estate is in active demand not
withstanding rumors OF litigation over
the townsite when applications for the
mining claims which cover the ground
are made. These applications will be
filed very soon.
Notwithstanding Dur gold prospects,
the recent silver strike near Spring
Valley has excited a good part Of our
population, and a number have gone
out to try and "catch on" at the new
diggings.
Rumors from the DeLamar mines
say they are the largest and richest in
the country, while the April Fool group
comes easily in for second place, though
not nearly so far developed. The mines
are stated TO be good for profitable pro-
duction for the next ten years.-Rec-

The San Francisco Call OF q recent
date had a page devoted to the coat
of-arms Of various families in that city,
illustrated with sketches OF some oil
the armorial bearings. II the Goldfish
aristocracy only knew how thoroughly
they are despised by every loyal and
manly American citizen, they would
throw away these bogus tributes to
disgusting snobbery.
There are firms in London, New
York and Boston who make it a BUSH
ness TO design all sorts Of heraldic de-
vices for sycophantic Americans. OF
such are probably nine-tenths Of those
displayed in the Call, and of such also
most likely was the coat-of-arms Of
the Mackay family, which was so naus-
eatingly in evidence at the Paris fuhe-
raj OF young Mackay.
1t is sickening TO a sensible Ameri-
a citizen 10 notice the growth Of this
bastard and counterfeit aping Of nobil-
ity in a republic, but at the same time
there r some very laughable features
connected with it.
Private Thinks" could suggest far
mor appropriate coats-of-arms for
some Of these San Francisco families
than the mes they have adopted. For
instance, in several.cases a very suit
able coat-of-arms would be a muscular
woman with sleeves rolled up couchant
yer a wash tub rampant, with the
motto, "Suds Rise, and So Do We."

property becomes better known, and

is more mineral land not yet prospect

A writer in q fashion journal @
marks OF the vast change that has
taken place in personal cleanliness
within the last century. When ladies
wear powdered hair nowadays, and
when they make such herculean efforts
to get their hair clean again, it will
give them an idea OF what their great
grandmothers musthave endured when
they o their hair powdered all the
time. In fact, paint, patches and pow

powder depended more on strong per-
fumes than on soap and water. Many
will recall the well-known lines in
which Pope revenged himself on Lady

liant and intellectual as she was, had,
as has been tersely said, "an made

suddenly transplanted back a hundred
years, it is to be feared that he would
flee from the presence of some of the
last century beauties, holding his nose.
