The origin Of surnames is full of curious
interest to the antiquarian, and some fun
ny examples have been brought to light
by students in this branch of knowledge.
Some of the names are very queer, and the
directories of every great city furnish
many examples. In Kansas City recently
a firm of veterinary surgeons was COM
posed Of Drs. Back & White, and a few
years ago in Western Kansas Messrs
Gum & saltz conducted a drug store. Two
doctors named Hope and Comfort were

MINING NOTES.

Iyrom the Mining and Scient hc Press.l
One cause Of the rapid appreciation
of lead is because of the high price Of
wheat and corn and the abundance Of
the crops, for every farmer can now
paint his house and barn, which means
many million pounds Of white lead.
Utah's pumice stone deposits are now
supplying over 60 per cent of that ar
ticle in this country, and with tariff
Of So per ton the peoned product OF
its foreign rivals is practically shut
out.
The law requires that the surface
ground used for residence and business
purposes, upon patented mining
claim, must be assessed at a price ap-
proximating its value for such use and
purpose.
Under orders from Washington
100000 silver dollars will until fur
ther notice be coined at United States
mints, OF which amount 100000 will
be monthly coined at the San Fran
cisco mint.
j. d. Vaughan, mining operator Of
Denver, declares that the average
profit on gold mining in all countries,
is from fifty to eighty per cent, while
the cost per ounce OF silver production
of most mines exceeds the market
quotations.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany is running survey presumably

DehOrnfng Cows.

The process OF dehorning cows is
quite general here now. Some object
to 1t on the ground OF cruelty. That
the operation Of taking off the horns is
painful to the animal is self evident to
anyone who witnesses the operation,
but l do not consider the residual
effects injurious. When one sees
how peaceable the cattle become,
when there is no more goring each
other. and he observes other favorable
results, the feeling OF cruelty passes
away and he is very apt to be con-
verted to the practice. Whether
there is anything in the coincidence or
not, it is the testimony Of some OF the
best dairymen that the flow of milk is
increased and the quality improved

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miserable
condition. 1t was undoubtedly bad
case OF la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps to
bring about speedy cure. From
the advertisement OF Cham mberlain's
Cough Remedy and the many good
recommendation contained therein,
we concluded to make a first trial OF
the medicine. To say that it was sat
iaiactroy in its results, is putting it
very mildly indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was permanent
and speedy cure. We have no hesi-
fancy in recommending this excellent
Cough Remedy to any one afflicted
with a cough or cold in any form.-

A New Industry.

Les Douglas and G. Ereshour went
into the pinenut business quite ex-
tensively this season. They gathered
about 1900 pounds Of nuts this week,
and are going to ship at least one
thousand pounds to San Francisco.
They get 20 cents pound for prime
nuts, and as the expense for gathering
them, shipping, freight. etc., will not
be over s25, they will make clear
sl75 for about four days work. Les
says if he had got into this racket
sooner, before the nuts were all gath
cred or had fallen out Of the burrs, ne
could have made more money har-
vesting the pinenut crop than
he could make by harvesting
all the hay and grain on the Car
son river-Lyon County Times.

A Shocking song.

Christian society is very much
shocked by song which was sung by
a young lady Of the church at Chris
tian Endeavor meeting in Alameda
county, California.
Miss Day was the vocalist, who,
when called upon, turned loose lisa
BELLA" song the chorus of which
runs:
For she's 3 girl who is just one Of the
boys,
Is Isabella, she is O belle.
A jolly time with jolly crowd enjoys,
For she's . girl who is one OF the boys,
Isabella.
The song goes on to show that Is
abella is not adverse to quiet game
OF draw and to "small bot" and that
she plays the races and fees the jocks,
and has a generally good time all
around the ring.
The clergymen who were present at
the meeting were very much shocked
and one had to leave the building and
put ice on his head.
This does not seem to be the same

Hard TO Please.

The breach of promise suit brought
by Miss Shapiro Of Richmond, Va,
against Nathan Rosen of Baltimore,
Nd, is exciting peculiar interest.
Rosen acknowledges that he was en-
gagged to Miss Shapiro, but says that
he broke the troth because he learned
that she had fat, deformed foot, and
that the sffiiction was likely to be-
come hereditary. Miss Shapiro. on
the other hand, says she exhibited
her deformed foot to her lover early in
the engagement, but that he said il
made no difference to him. She also
says she consented to a medical exam
ination by his wish.

and the fact that they are dated 1897
shows the remarkable energy Of this
most remarkable woman, who is now
in her 10th year. She lives in grea,
seclusion all the year round near Fon'

her not exhibiting in Paris heretofore
is that all her pictures are bought even

mining district arises from the fact
that it has been a great lead smelling
district.
The ores in the main have been of
an exceedingly fine smelling quality.
and for great many years no thought
of working by any other method has
been INDUCED in.
The great smelling companies work.
ed their mines down to the water line,
and either through lack of energy and
enterprise, or confidence in deeper
workings, quit.
They practically abandoned mining
in the district, unwilling to even spend
a small portion of the many millions
they have taken out Of the mines, in
draining the latter for deeper explora-
tions. To-day their large dumps OF
Stag and large useless smelling estab-
lishments stand as a monument Of
their thriftlessness or the already men,
toned lack Of confidence, and really
repel investors, who can hardly i'm
agine that great mining companies,
which have worked large mines to i'm
mense profit, should abandon them
without considerable effort TO follow
the ore below the water Lines.
Hence those would-be investors
must naturally come to the conclusion
that there is but little in the camp to
warrant profitable outlay of capital.
The district also suffers from class
OF men found in almost every mining
camp, who do all they can, frequently
by downright lying, to prevent the sale
OF mines. Some OF these men have
been in positions or occupy positions
giving them certain degree of credit
with parties desiring to invest, although
some Of the aforesaid pest know no
more about mine than horse does
about Easter Sunday. Notwithstand-
ing all of these drawbacks, the merit
OF the mines is certain to bring
the old district out once more within
the next two or three years.
Being further pressed by the writer
to make statement regarding his
Mount Hope mines, in which he is
on record OF having sunk a cold $50,-
coo, assuming a conservative air, he
simply said:
There are large zinc, also zinc and
lead mines, containing considerable
proportion OF silver at Mount Hope
district near the Eureka & Palisade
railroad, about twenty-five miles north
of Eureka. The zinc, in time, with
cheaper transportation, will be valu-
able. OSCAR HuDEBRANDT.

EUREKa MINING DISTRICT.
A General Description OF the
Mines, Their Resources and Pros
peetIye Future.


EDITOR RESo Journal Hon. Thos.
Wren is the best posted man on mines
within a radius OF hundred miles,
taking this town as the center.
During the last twenty-five years he
has been engaged AS an attorney eth
er pro or con in nearly all the litiga-
tons that has promiscuosly occurred
between the several mining compan-
les Of this county. He likewise en-
Joys the reputation Of possessing an
extended knowledge Of chemistry and
metallurgy.
In short, Mr.. Wren is looked upon
as reliable authority on mines in
general and those OF Eureka county in
particular.
without reserve this gentleman
granted your correspondent an inter
view, the result OF which is herewith
shown:
There is no reason to doubt the ex-
istence Of an abundant body Of high
grade gold ore in Eureka mining dis
trict that could be worked handsomely
by some OF the various leeching pro-
cesses. The large amount taken out
Of the district and shipped to Salt Lake
for sale runs from forty into the hun
dreds OF dollars in gold. Some is al
most entirely gold ore, and some bears
both silver and gold.
Adams Hill, particularly, is great
gold producing section of the district,
and nearly all the mines on Prospect
Mountain, running up into the hun
dreds, are gold producers. On the
west side OF the mountain gold is found
chiefly in the metallic state. On the
east side, notable in the Richmond
and Eureka Con-, no metallic gold can
be found. and it is not known in what
form it exists in the ore.
About one.quarter OF the yield oil
Doth these great mines, say $1,000. 900
each was gold.
The Hamburg series OF mines have
been among the largest gold producers
here.
The Diamond mine, which has been
steady ore yielder for a number ol
years, is the only one running at pres
ent. The Continuous shipments &c
Salt Lake abound in gold ores. Sixty
hive men are employed.
This property was offered TO the
Richmond Mining Company at less
figure than for which it passed into
the hands of the present company ,and
hit had been purchased by the Rich
mond. that concern by purchasing out
side ores, could have been smelling
during the whole time it has beer
shut down.
The Jackson mine is also good orr
producer.
With the single exception OF tn,
Diamond, all work in the other mines
is done by so-called tributers.
