Virginia Chronicle: The reopening
OF the 1900 level of the Consolidated
California and Virginia mine from the
winze sunk below the 1850 will begin
Immediately and west crosscut will
be sent in from the winze bottom to
intersect the downward continuation
of the ore development on the 1900
level. This ore is located about eighty
feet west of the north and south lat
eral drift on the 1900 level and that
distance will probably be covered in
two weeks in crosscutting. Should
this crosscut demonstrate that the ore
on the 1900 level holds its width and
value at that depth boom in Com
stock share values rivaling that oil
thirteen years ago is assured.

THE APOLOGY HABIT.

OF all the bores that one meets
among women the constant apologist
is the greatest. She asks her guests
pardon for her own appearance, for the
disordered room, fos the over-done
roast, for poorly trained servant and
so on until that unfortunate wonders
presently If she will not apologize for
living.
1t takes ingenuity and tact to meet
these excuses with graceful replies, de-
noting that they are not needed, and
the constant demand upon those quail.
tiles becomes after awhile such strain
that the guest ceases to enjoy herself.
1t is good rule to apologize only on
very extreme occasions and not then
at length, and to hastily change the
subject to more agreeable topics lest
the other person shall be embarrassed
as to how to reply, says the Baltimore
News. The apology habit is one that
grows apace with use, and is founded
only on meretricious politeness. The
woman who is mistress of herself on
all occasions rarely has reason to re.
sort to il.

NEW KLONDIKE EXPEDITION

A new Klondike expedition started
from New York last week in special
car for Seattle, where steamship is
ready to start for the American gold
fields, which are 1000 miles nearer
the United States than Dawson City.
The expedition differs from most
mining ventures in that its capital
stock is all subscribed. The principal
officers are Senator John p. Jones OF
Nevada, president; James Oliver, vice
president; Oliver III. Belmont, secre-
tary and treasurer. The party expects
to stay 60 days at the mines controlled
by the company.
A mining expert of international
reputation will be taken along, as we'll
as cargo of machinery with which to
develope the property, which includes
both quartz and placer mines. The
mines were secured year ago and
have been extensively worked. A
camp OF considerable proportions
called Belmont, after the secretary
treasurer, has been established.

indigestion or Germs.

1t has long been held that the use OF
fresh bread is injurious, and cautious
people and dyspeptics carefully avoid
the tempting crisp new loaves with all
their aromatic charms, patiently con-
lining themselves to bread more or less
stale. Now, there comes an astound-
ing statement that stale bread is in
fected with germs, more or less
destructive to health, and present in
large numbers as the bread grows
older. A health food company re-
Gently made demonstration of this
fact, showing that while fresh, we'll.

To Ballast with Gravel.

A few months ago an official of the
Southern Pacific company stated that
it was the intention of the company tc
put rock breaker at Iron Point and
use the rock from that section to bal
last the road. 1t seems that the rail
road has abandoned that idea and is
figuring ON using gravel on the road
instead of the rock. For few weeks
past the railroad has had men pros
pecting for gravel and it is stated that
they now have an immense gravel pit
at Cluro, eighteen miles east OF Carlin

A Prescription for Health.

1t is said that to keep in health a
person should drink from two to four
quarts of water each day. The system
requires TO be cleansed and its organs
flooded with water. Besides its cleans
ing efficacy, water absorbs effete
matter and carries il through the sys-
tenn. The purer the water the greater
the power OF absorption. Some diseases
Of the kidneys have been known to
yield 10 generous drinking OF pure
spring water. Beer. tonics, or alco-
holic drinks cannot take the place Of
pure water. In many cases kidney
and liver troubles have been traced to
the use OF beer or alcoholic drinks. 1t
has been ascertained by the medical
experts that rheumatism, local heart
trouble, indigestion, pal nful swelling,
eruptions, and liver and kidney dis
orders are caused mainly by general
or local impeded circulation. The
best tonic and blood purifier is Natures .
own medium-pure spring water.

feet, aside from open cuts in various
places, made to show the trend of the

has not been fully determined, as no
crosscuts have been made, but the
shaft has disclosed a body Of ore that
will average fully 20 per cent copper.
Shipments have been made from the
property in the past, and the returns
from the smelters showed it TO 60 con-
siderably over 80 per cent, while one
lower grade lot was sent out averaging

Mr. KeItner and Crops.

w. II Keltner of Hickory was in
the city this morning. In speak
ing of crop prospects he said that
wheat, with the exception OF the
late crop which was injured by the
severe cold, was never better at
this season of the year. Corn and
oats are looking well and the stand
is generally good. The backward
spring has delayed cotton planting
but the ground is now in fine shape
from a point of proper cultivation
to receive the seed, and when real
spring does arrive there VIII be no
delay with the cotton planters.
The farmer realizes that cotton Is
cash and the unsettled state of al
fairs in the Territory viii induce
many farmers to plant the crop
which they can most easily turn
into money. The prevailing opin-
ion among farmers is that any at
tempt to reduce the cotton acreage
in this country now will prove
futile and the dubiouspess of the
Curtis bill is largely responsible
for this etate of affairs.

question of the union with Okla
