Probable Demand for Horses.

The fact that Western range horses
are the hardest and hardest hoofed
animals in the world is just beginning
to be realized. An experiment tried
by the bureau of animal industry OF
the Agricultural Department results in
the statement from DR.. Bruet, special
commissioner, that mo horses in the
world excel the range horses of the
Western States for military purposes. y
Let those who have horses have hope,
for once their value for military pur-
poses is recognized there will be an ex-
tensive foreign demand for these horses
which, combined with the home de-
mand, will undoubtedly create fair
price for the noble animal. Eureka

The writer paid a visit this week to
the old Huntington mill in Robinson,
which is being operated by Geo. Smith
and Geo. and Frank Paul. They are
putting through some ore from the Rob
Roy mine which they have leased from
the owners, Sol. Hip and others. The
gold is free and the plates make good
showing. A cleanup will be made in q
few days.
A very pleasant dancing party was
given in Hips hall last Wednesday ev-
ening by some of Ely's young people.
Music was furnished by Mr.. Al. Petty
and dancing was indulged in to the ear
ly hours of the morning. About mid
night the company adjourned to the
dining-room of the Riepe Hotel, where
Dick did the honors in his usual salts
factory manner. Credit is due to the
committee of arrangements, Messrs.
Bruce and Allen.
Quite party gathered at the power
house of the Chairman Mining Co. last
Friday evening to witness trial run OF
the new dynamo. The house was bril-
liantly lighted with electric lights and
presented very attractive appear
ance. The machine is large alternat-
ing current dynamo of the Westing-
house make and runs to perfection.
There was some sparkling done by
members of the party, but no one was
badly "shocked" and all agreed that
Mr.. Lockwood is jolly entertainer.
F. J. Mccormick, representing the
Kent Cattle Co., has been in Ely the
past week, purchasing cattle from our
local ranchers. He reports that cattle
are bringing high prices in the eastern
market, and feeders especially are in
demand in spite of the fact that it may
be necessary to feed corn at 80 cts. bu.
before the winter is over. He paid the
highest price for steers that has been
offered in this locality for several years,
viz. $19. so for yr. olds and S23.25 for
3 yr. olds.
The work of placing the machinery
at the Chairman mill has been progress
sing slowly of late on account of the non
arrival of material. The motor, COM
pressor, engines, and battery are all in
position and Supt. Bliss informs us that
the rest of the machinery is now on the
way The pump Is throwing steady
stream of about ten miners inches and
is making good headway against the
water in the shaft. Quite little stream
is coming down the canyon as result
OF the pumping, and reaches about half
way to town.
The boys from Lane City came down
to Ely last Saturday evening and gave
the Ely boys little exhibition in box
ing. The Brewery saloon furnished
the arena and quite crowd assembled.
There were several very pretty rounds
spared, and they showed themselves
to be masters of the art. The Ely boys
being mostly novices, required some
coaxing before they would put on the
gloves, but several finally tried their
skill and afforded considerable amuse-
ment for the crowd. They had plenty
of speed but were lacking in science.
The writer pleads guilty to being one
of them. Give us time and we will show

A BIG DEAL ON FOOT.
Good News for Como and Dayton
The Peck Brothere Get 90
Day Option on the Logan and
HuIIy Mine in Palmyra.

c. V. Peck and w. H. Peck, who
arrived in Dayton from Chicago this
week, met Messrs. Logan and Hully
here Thursday and arranged for the
purchase Of the Logan and Hully mine
in Palmyra. All arrangements were
completed recently in Virginia City,
and the papers in the deal made out,
signed and delivered. The transaction
is that the Pecks have ninety day
option on buying the mine for the sum
of $40, 900. They put up mallamount
as guarantee and agree to do certain
stipulated work on the mine during the
time they hold it.
The property in the deal embraces
the Logan and Hully mine proper and
the north and south extension, Tom
Zeimeitz being interested in the north
extension to the extent of a 0ne-third
interest. Considerable work has been
done on the central claim, in fact it has
been opened up by shafts, tunnels and
crosscuts to an extent that shows al
least one hundred thousand tons of ore
in sight, and the ore is of a very fair
grade, assaying from $40 to $25 per ton
and carrying from 40 to go per cent.
gold.
It is the intention of the Peck Bros
to extract carload of ore from the
mine Immediately and ship it to Chi.
cago, where they have very complete
reduction works. There the ore will
be tested to find which will be the cheap
est and best method of working 1t.
Should it be demonstrated that the ore
can be successfully worked by the pro.
cess contemplated by the Peeks, the
sale will probably be closed at once.
In connection with this deal it may
also be stated that carload of material
from the Douglass tailings reservoir
will be shipped to Chicago for the pur.
pose of experimenting to see If they
have not process by which the con-
centrates obtained from the shines by
the Peck concentrating process can be
turned into bullion on the ground.
Should this be accomplished the ship
ping OF concentrates to Salt Lake or
San Francisco would be done away with
as plant would be erected at this
place to handle the concentrates OBJ
tained from the tailings and the ore
from the mine also.
Should these two objects be accom-
plished, and there is hardly doubt
that they will, it means $50, 600 or
$40, 900 reduction plant for Dayton, a
tramway from the mill to the mine, a
distance of ten miles, the employment
better times generally in this vicinity.
1t cannot come too soon to suit us all.

DEHORN YOUR CATTLE.

Wyoming cattlemen who are ship
ping cattle to Nebraska and other feed
farms arc advised by Chicago Commits
sion firms to dehorn all cattle shipped
for feeders. 1t is stated that cattle
when dehorned will feed better and
when shipped to market will travel
quietly and arrive at the yards without
bruises. Eastern shippers and export
ers will pay from 10 to Is cents per 100
pounds more for dehorned cattle, all
other conditions being similar, as tho
cattle show up in SO much better condi-
tion at their destination. Horned cattle
hook one another and fight more or
less, and consequently injure the sale Of
the carcass,

You said no word as you passed me by,
With your eyes ablaze and your head
held high
And your beautiful lips acquiver;
You said no word as you passed me by,
But your heart said to my heart, glove
cannot die,
am thine alone-forever."
You said no word on that night long
ago
When l claspe1 you close and held you
so,
And drank your breath like wine.
You said no word on that night long
ago,
But | knew well then and now l know
You were mine-and only mine.
Your eyes that are blue as the ocean at
rest,
My love foated there like a ship on the
breast
OF a calm summer sea.
Your eyes that are blue as the ocean at
rest,
And the rich brown bralds kissed and
caressed,
DO not belong to me.
But your eyes that are blue are my
heavenly skies,
And beyond them | know a par adise
lies
Where love lives eternally.
But your eyes that are blue are my
heavenly sl,ies,
And though all else may perish, love
never dies,
And your love belongs to me.

Three Blessings.

An old clergyman who form erly
lived in a New Hampshire town
was remarkable for his eccentric
modes of speech. His way of ask
ing a blessing was so peculiar as to
sometimes effect the risibles of his
guests, although he apparently was
entirely unconscious of this fact.
When he seated himself at the
breakfast table and saw spread
upon it meal greatly to his liking,
he said, Lord, we thank Thee for
this excellent breakfast of which we
are to partake."
A more simple meal, but one
which he still regarded as COM
paratively satisfactory would cause
him to say, Lord, we thank Thee
for this good breakfast set before
US"
But when the minister's eye
roamed over the table and saw there
nothing which was especially to his
taste, although the tone in which he
uttered his petition was not lacking
in fervor, his sentiments were clear
/ ly to be discovered.
+ Lord" he invariably said on
these occasions, "fill our hearts with
| thankfulness, we beseech Thee, fol
this meal set before US; for with
Thee all things are possible"

A reliable fashion exchange says:
The efforts have been tremendous
to get rid of the blouse, but it would
not go. There is somewhere in this
matter a psychology that the reader
may be pleased to work out. The
blouse makes part of all the new
gowns. 1t fits with most dressmak-
ers down close to the figure behind
and is full and bouffant in front, and
to make the waist long may fall
down through the middle entirely
over the belt. 1t is made with a
yoke, or it is made double-breasted,
or it is open down the front over a
gi!et, the latter in combination with
linen flange collar, and tie being
the choice of the moment with wo-
men that are chic; it is trimmed up
and down and it il trimmed across,
according to the figure or to the de-
sign of the skirt; it may have over it
bOlerO, and these are shorter than
they were and are sometimes no
more than yokes, or it may have
figaro, and this only a bolero made
long so as to go with a narrow belt,
to which there is very general re-
turn. 1t is carried out in burlap, it
is carried out in lace; it is worn al
morning, noon and night, and on
the subject of bodices this is the
first and last and all there is to be
said,

COlOrs in Millinery.

The cOlors on the new hats and
bOnnets grow brighter and more
glaring every day it seems. Some of
the straws are as green as any grass
that ever grew, or as red as peoples
from the Orient. Yellow and red
tulips grow from the tops of them in
the greatest profusion, leaves and
all. Some of them are topped with
immense masses of crimson ros-
es, and some have enormous bows of
purple and green tulle. In fact, no
color is too bright or bunch too big
for a hat. Bows are made of coarse
rush like straw braids. Shapes are
any and all kinds. Many ladies af-
feet the great picture hats, with
masses of ostrich plumes. Indeed,
plumes have a place in the sum-
mer's millinery not often accorded.
There are hats that look as if they
have come down from Noah's ark,
so quaint and Old-fashioned they
are. Everything that is becoming
is fashionable now, if only the trim
ming is made to stand up high and
stiff.

The "Puttering" WOMAN.

TBy Frederick S. Root in Good Housekeep-
ing.l
To "putter," which is essentially
the derivative from potter" is a
word hard to define and easy to
understand. 1t means to busy one
self about trifles and to work to lit
tie purpose. 1t means vast eXpen-
diture of nervous energy on
matters that might be lightly dis
missed or relegated to others, and
the consequent failure to gain
power through repose" or culture
through the elevation and cOncen
tration Of the life. And one of the
saddest sights in the world is to see
a woman occupied strenuously with
innumerable and self imposed
household nothings.
| do not, of course, refer to the
"trival round, the common task" of
duties inseparable from household
man; cement, the rearing and train
ing of children, the economics of
the commissarat and the like.
Women of capacity discharge such
duties with prOmptitude and
thoroughness and still find leisure
for church and social obligations,
for healthful recreation. | mean
rather by "puttering" the over
emphasis which is put upon tritles
of little or no Importance, trities
that may as well be left to servants,
the eXaggeratiOn of household de-
tails, the gradual contraction of a
womans life to such pettiness OF
environment as will ultimately
dwarf the higher powers and
faculties.
The habit of 'puttering" is the foe
of all classes of women who fall by
insensible degrees into the snare OF
"much troubling about many
things of no vital Importance what.

The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-05-21

William WilkersOn, who was for
many years jailer of Fayette county,
and who was noted for his fidelity
to truth, related the following pa
thctic incident of herOism which he
witnessed shortly after the battle of
Richmond, KY, in 1852, says the
Lexington Leader.
IA son of my friend, Cassius NJ.
Clay, was killed in the fight at
Richmond, and it was my
duty to visit the battlefield and
identify the body and take it to his
fathers home. While riding slowly
over the scene of the battle l heard
grOans, which | was sure came from
a corn field near at hand. Looking
down the corn rows, soon diScUv-
cred two wounded soldiers, lying
about forty yards apart. One was Il
Federal and the other a Confeder-
ate. A cannon ball had broken and
terribly mangled both of the Con-
federate's legs, while the Federal
was shot through the body and
thigh.
81 am dying for water 1 heard
the Federal say just as | discovered
them. His words sounded as if they
came from parched mouth.
~ have some water in my can
teen. You are welcome to drink if
you'll come here, said the Confed-
crate, who had feebly raised his
head from the ground to look at his
late enemy when he heard his pit
iful cry for water.
81 couldn't move to save my
life" the Federal groaned, as he
dropped his head to the ground,
while his whole body quivered with
agony.
Then 1 beheld an act of heroism
which held me spell-bOund until it
was too late for me to give the
assistance / should have rendered.
The Confederate lifted his head
again and took another look at his
wounded foe, and l saw an express
sion of tender pity come over his
paine distorted face as he said:
Hold out little longer, Yank
and I'll try to come to you
Then the brave fellow, by dig
ging his fingers into the ground and
holding on to the cOrnstalks, pain
fully dragged himself to the FEEDER.
ais side, the blood from his man
gled legs making trail the entire
distance. The tears ran down my
cheeks like rain, out of sympathy
for him, and / grOaned every time
he moved, but [ was lost to every
thing except the fellows heroism
and did not think once of helping
! him.
when the painful journey was
finished he offered his canteen to
the Federal, VINO took it and drank
eagerly, the water seeming to sizzle
as it passed down his parcheC
throat. Then, with deep sigh o
relief, he reached out to the Con
federate, and it was plain to see, al
they clasped hands and looked in
to each others eyes, that whateve
of hate may have ranked once il
the hearts of these men, had now
given place to mutual sympathy
and love. Even while l watchel
them [ saw the Confederate's bod !

when his head dropped to the
ground L knew that hero had crossed
the dark river. The Federal kisseC
