We have received the following letter
from Mr.. J. r. De La Mar. who has large
mining interests In the State Of Nevada,
A reading Of the letter will show the greaI
resources Of Nevada:
SO. Avenue Mel,

rectly. Every pound Of my ore Is reduced

only firm manufacturing this in The
United States, Roesler. Haslsger q Co.,

by putting this article on the free list they
can, In Q small measure. repair the dam
age they have done by almost running Ne
vsda and other mining States. They can
put a stop to issuing bonds for buying
gold for the Treasury by fostering . large
production OF gold. The Treasury will
not lose one dollar, as this New York firm
now has put the price TO 9 figure where
Europe cannot import. Thus, with pres
ent duty and present prices. the Govern
ment gains nothing. the miners lose hesv.
lily. and only one Arm becomes rich BY
controlling that article.
We have In our neigborhood large bod
les Of low grade gold ore. A reduction Of
q few cents now and then In oheapenine
products brings larger quantities available
n small margin Of profit. This fact
should not be lost sight Of. Nature putt
the richest ores In very small veins. and
we must depend on the large bodies Of low
grade ore for the bulk Of the gold product
You are the fighting champion OF silver,

duction OF goid2 Nevada has more low
grade gold ore than half the other mining
States put together. Sincerely yours.

False Teeth 80 Grow In Gums.

A Russian dentist has at length
solved the problem Of supplying u
with false teeth, which will grow into
the gums as firmly as natural ones.
says the Figaro. The teeth are made
OF gutta percha. porcelain or metal. as
the case may be. At the root of the
tooth holes are made, aud also in the
jaw. The tooth is then placed IN the
cavity, and Ia short tune soft gran
Giated growth finds its way from the
Jaw into the holes IN the tooth. This
growth gradually hardens aud holds
the tooth IN position. IL does not
matter IN the least. according 10 this
enterprising Russian dentist. whether
the cavity ia which the tooth is placed
Is one from which a natural tooth has
recently been drawn. OF whether II
has been healed for months, or even
years.
