"A Trip to Tennessee Guloh.
To THE EDITOR INDEPENDENT,

10 THE EDITOR INDEPENDENT,
Dear Sir:-l started from Elko on
the 10th inst. and camped at Pie
Creek that night Here 1 found
Messrs Weiland and McComb engage
ed in building a large hotel to accom-
modate the travel going over the road
and from the way they talked here
have no doubt as to the success ofthe
enterprise. The roads and bridges to
this place are Ill first class condition.
The next day made Jack Station,
where the Hon. A. NJ. McAfee is re-
building the old time station of that
name, and is looking forward to cater
to the travellers to Gold Creek and
other points north. l found Mr.. Nc
Afee the same. pleasant gentleman as
OF yore and confidently say to the
travelling public that they will meet
good treatment at his hands. The
same evening I got to Stotiel where l
fell i'll with Editor Sam of the Gold
Creek News, and he rode with me to
Penrod Creek, where I camped for
the night. Mr.. Sain ls a gentleman
In every sense of the word thorough
ly posted On the needs of our section
and with his pen is calling attention
to our county. l tried to persuade
him to camp with me, but owing to
pressing business he had to return to
Gold Creek that night So we took a
smile and parted.
The next day passed Gold Creek
City but did not stop, but kept on to
Tennessee Gulch where I found the
boys in good spirits, the snow allgone
and green grass in plenty.
NJ. j. Fitzgerald has worked ON the
@Gold Bug" all winter and uncovered
good body of free milling gold ore,
some of it 30 rich that gold could be
seen by candle light In the drift. Lou
Burkhart was working ON the aLast
Chance" as 6ne a property as can be
! found in the State. A large amount
or free milling ore is uoW On the
dump and all that is required is a
mill to turn out the gold bars. HI.
Keith has been opening up the GSun-
day" and has tunnel in about6O feet
with fine ore all the way in. j. w
Mcdonnell has done considerable
work on the "Glpck Auf," with good
prospects ahead. Take it altogether
the few pioneers OF, the Camp are in
happy frame OF mind.
Regarding myself ! am more than
satisfied at the showing made by my
partner; Lou Burkhart, on the 4Last
CHARGE" @Shnset" and sB & A" mines
and am confident that the camp will
attract the attention Of capitalists
this season, especially when they can
see properties opened up sufficiently
to justify the erection of large plant
to work the ore.
Yours Truly,
j. d. Abel.

i COLLEGE FOR LOVERS.

Such an Institution Is Needed fer
Training Men in Love Making.
Miss Lillian Bell, who has won fame
as am authoress, her last book being ''A
Little Sister Of the Wilderness is of the
opinion that some one should found q
college for training men in love-maS-
ing. This is how she expressed herself
in a recent interview:
II suggested once Kindergarten for
the training of husbands. Now I want
to change that and have q college fc'.
lovers, with q postgraduate course fo1'
husbands, AS it is now-weil, almost
any girl can do almost anything with 4
man. You know how easily one girl can
rob another girl Of her lover. He, poor,
blind being, never suspects it. A girl
would know in a minute if another man
was trying to win her from her lover.
She has intuitions like antennae which
tell her the very nature Of every a;,~
proach. But with man it is different t.
He sees only a sympathetic soul il, the
girl who leads him away by oil the t2l!h-
crate arts Of which she is mistress. But
there! one can go on all day talking
about these things. Everybody likes to
talk about love. People asi: r,r if an
not 'uplifted' by the success E?av'' had
but I tell them it vas rcl any g>~t% in
SEPARATION on my part. When hogan In
talk of love 7 had the ear Of the world.

one: ''The other day, coming down
Maple street, Isaw dog strike cross lots
from Park street. Some animal was in
pursuit. At first thought it was an.
other dog; then it looked like a, large
cat; ultimately 1 saw that it was a fox
The dog, was putting in his best licks
aelping like mad, and the fox was hot
On his trail. With final long-drawn
howl the dog reached the piazza Of his
masters house and from that vantage
ground sat down. to watch his pursuer.
The fox stationed himself about six or
eight feet away, and the two sat eying
each other for some time. Finally the
door opened and the dog slipped inside.
Then the shed door was cautiously
opened, and by the aid of the neighbors
the fox was driven into the shed and is
now a captive"

EASTER BREAD AND CHEESE.
Origin Of G Custom Still Maintain ed IN

H'E<SsA-a OF q custom still N101nt01ne0 In
g Quiet English Village.
An old ceremony which links the pres
ont with SIN epoch as nearly distant as
She Norman conquest has been duly OBJ
served in the quiet village of Biddenden,
in Kent, near Ashford, England. Easter
was celebrated by the distributing by
the wear and church wardens of cakes
81 gingerbread among visitors to the
place, while the residents We're RECALLED
with hunks Of bread and cheese. For
nearly 900 years these doles or gifts
have been dispensed, although now all
idea Of charity has practically. disap-
peared, and the distribution is used
more for an occasion Of conviviality
and ale drinking than for the pious
eorr1ncmoration of the two maids of
8iodenden who founded the feast.
These. ladies were Eliza and Mary
o'h1lkhurst, who lived at the beginning
Il. the twelfth century and were joined
together like the Siamese twins. One
died . day after the other and they
left q bit Of land, of which the rental
is about $500 a year, to perpetuate a
fund for the distribution of bread and
cheese at. Easter. The doles are all
stamped with q likeness of the two
maids, with their names and the dates
of their birth and demise. Many peo-
pie go to Biddenden for the express
purpose of getting a cake and preserv-
Ing it as a curiosity.

opened and tine wife of the famous
Arctic explorer in another moment coy

Nansen had fastened q message to a

The frail courier darted out into the

METHODS HERE AND ABROAD.
Ways of Steering Boats in England,
France and Germany.


France and Germany.
A comparison of the different meth
DDS Of doing what is practically the
same thing in various parts of the world
is both interesting and amusing to the
thoughtful observer, says Casters
Magazine. On American ferryboats the
import is well known of the "ting-ting"
or ''jingle- jingle" of the bell by which
the man in the Wheelhouse commune
Gates with his fellow mortal in the en-
CINE room. On the Thames, however,
it would be considered practically i'm
possible to convey information in this
manner, and the captains of the small
paddle steamers on that stream stand
On the paddle boxes and sing out:
"IIase 'er!" Back 'er!" ETC., apparently
to nobody in particular, while these in
teresting remarks are promptly repeat
ed in shrill tones by small boy into a
speaking tube which communicates
with the lower regions. On the Seine,
in France, this process is simplitied
and large trumpet-shaped mouth
piece flares out in front of the man at
the wheel, and he yells his commands
into this funnel, the other end OF which
is supposed to reach the engineer. The
large steamers on the Rhine, in Ger
many, are controlled, not by the usual
wheel placed in the wheelhouse for
ward, but by a very large wheel on
vertical axis, placed right amidships
upon an elevated, platform or bridge,
and several men pass the handles from
right to left, or upon occasion tro5
round in circle, and it would doubt
less be considered a serious temptation
Of Providence, or at least re-
lection upon the fatherland, if anyone
we're to attempt to construct Rhine
steamer with the ordinary form OF
steering gear.

: On one of the South Halsted street

a man with brand new valise that had

The man wore black felt hat and

ninth street, put his valise on the seat
beside him, and when the conductor
stopped to take his fare he pulled out a
roll of bills.
The conductor extracted a nickel
from a one dollar bill and handed over
the change. The man with the valise
extracted a silver quarter dollar from
the change and handed it back to the
conductor.

N. p. Settlement not Completed.

The matter of the tax settlement be-
tween the County Commissioners and
the Northern Pacific railroad compauy
was not brought up before Judge
Hodgdon this week, it being under
stood that some difference between the
Company's agents and the county at.
torney preventing the settling of the
stipulation. Just what effect this will
have upon the agreement is not known.
as the matter cannot come before the
Judge until Jan. 18th, which will be
without the thirty days in which the
payment should be made by the COM
pauy. There now seems to be no
question but what the states entire
levy must be paid in full, and it is also
doubtful if the County Commissioners
have power to remit any school taxes,
but their authority is confined to the
direct county taxes. If this be true,
then the County, itself, will receive
practically nothing from the settle
meut, as about all the amount to be
received must be turned over to the
state.
The JOURNAL has taken interest in
the matter believing that a much bet
ter settlement can be made, and the
taxpayers generally haye expressed
their dissatisfaction with the settle
ment. three petitions, from different
sections, having been generally signed.
A railroad corporation, or any indiyid-
nal, is not to be blamed for attempting
to escape their portion of taxation,
but the CouHty's agents are response
bic. and they would certainly be up
held in demanding equitable settle
ments from all defiuquents. even if
they had to put up little money to
protect the County's interests.
