NEvADA's MINING RESOURCES
Eastern Capital Ready to Invest in
Developing Them.

The Chronicle is in daily receipt OF
letters of inquiry from the Atlantic
side Of the continent as to opportuni.
ties for the investment of capital in
Nevada mining districts. The oppor-
tunities for such investment, are end
less, but it would be the part of wisdom
for capitalists to employ reliable ex-
perts to look over the field before en-
barking in the mining industry.
Every range of mountains in this
State contains minerals which include
every variety SO far discovered, and
many of these ranges have never
been prospected to any extent, except
for gold and silver. Capitalists, anx-
lous to embark in mining, could devise
no more economical or certain method
of obtaining satisfactory results than
by equipping prospecting parties and
maintaining them constantly in the
field, on the plan of Messrs. Hearst,
Haggin and others who made millions
out of the mining industry Virginia

A Rich Mans Project.

A rich mans statement that he in
tends to devote almost his entire for
tune to charitable works has aroused
much discussion. This is because it
will accomplish much good. 1t is a
praiseworthy endeavor, but there are
many other agencies which accomplish
just as much good. Take Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters for instance-the great
American remedy. For fifty years it
has cured constipation, dyspepsia and
all the ills which arise from weak di-
gestion. This medicine will keep the
stomach in good shape and the bowels
regular. 1t is a wonderful restorative
tonic and health builder. 1t is also a
preventive for malaria, fever and ague

A Man OF System.

A newspaper man of some celebrity
as disciplinarian was noted about his
Office for the extreme disorder of his
own desk. Though insisting upon
methodical habits on the part of his
employees, he gave his own pigeonholes
a cleaning out and sorting over only
once a year, and his regular time for
doing this, oddly enough, was Wash
ington's birthday.
1t happened one year, nevertheless,
that he forgot to perform this task at
the proper time, and friend who hap
pened in at his Office on the morning
of Feb. % was surprised at finding him
surrounded by his usual hopeless litter
of letters and papers.
''How does this happen, Mr.. -?'
he asked.
Forgot it, shortly answered the
editor
well, you're going to clean things
up to-day, aren't you?7
NO, sir,n YVES the reply. "That job
goes over, under the rules, for another
year. You don't suppose am going
to set an example of irregularity to the
boys, do you? Not muchr'
And he cleaned away space on his
desk and began writing an editorial on
the tariff

A Serious Charge.

Robert Henderson, one of the best
known residents of Humboldt county,
was arrested at San Francisco last week
on charge of mayhem preferred by
A. r. Holeomb, the crime being COM
mitted at Battle Mountain on April 9TH
last
Brief mention of the affair which led
to Henderson's arrest was made in the
SitUer STATE at the time it occurred.
Holeomb, who is Salt Lake mining
man operating near Battle Mountain,
and Henderson had quarreled over
mining property. According to one
report the men engaged in fight, in
which Henderson struck Holcomb
with pistol and knocked out his left
eye. Another account was to the effect
that Henderson struck Holeomb with
his fist while the latter was sleeping in
a chair. At any rate Holcomb's eye
was so injured that it was necessary to
remove it.
On April 2sth suit for 500, 900 dam
ages was begun by Holcomb against
Henderson in the U. S. District Court
at Carson, Attachment papers were
issued and Marshal Emmitt came here
to serve them, but in the meantime
Henderson had disposed of all his
ranch and mining property and left
the country.
Complaint was then sworn out at
Battle Mountain charging Henderson
with mayhem and the arrest was made
in San Francisco last week as stated.
Steps will at once be taken for Hen
derson's extradition, and he will be
brought back to Lander county to be
tried on the most serious charge against
him. .-Sifuor State.

The Byzantine Emp,rs.

Byzantine Empire was the Roman
Empire of the east. The name was
derived from Byzantium, the ancient
name of Constantinople, the capital OF
the empire. AS separate power It
began its existence in 395 A. D., when
Theodosius the Great died, bequeath-
ing the Empire of Rome to his two
sons who divided it-Arcadius taking
the eastern half, with his capital at
Constantinople. 1t was rich and
powerful sovereignty, and continued
to exist for over ten centuries. Dur
ing the last few centuries it was grad
ually but surely declining before the
Turks and Saracens, and ended with
the Mohammendan conquest of Con-
stantinople in 1913. 1t was also called
the Greek Empire. and was the home
and head of the Greek church.

STOPPED DRINKING.
New Orleans Drunkard Saw Verbatim
Report of His Monologue.

Report of His Monologue.
There goes a man whom l reclaim
ed from the Demon Rum remarked
New Orleans court stenographer re-
Gently. 1T happened in this way. He
is a tip-top fellow, and has no end of
ability, but four or five years ago he
began to let liquor get the best of him.
He had fine position at the time, and
l don't think he exactly neglected his
work, but it got to be a common thing
to see him standing around barrooms
in the evening about two-thirds full
and talking foolish. A few of his close
friends took the liberty of giving him
a quiet hint, and as usual in such cases
he got highly indignant and denied
point blank that he had ever been in
the least under the influence Of liquor.
All the same he kept increasing the
pace, until it became pretty easy to
predict where he was going to land,
and it was at this stage of the game
l did my great reformation act. | was
sitting in a restaurant one evening
took the next table, without seeing me.
He was just drunk enough to be talka-
tive about his private affairs, and on
the impulse of the moment l pulled out
my stenographer's note book and took
a full shorthand report of every word
he said. 1t was the usual maudlin rot
of our good fellow half seas over, shad-
Ing off in spots to booty pathos, where
both gentlemen wept in their beer, and
including numerous highly candid de-
tails of the speakers daily life. Next
morning l copied the whole thing neat
ly on the typewriter and sent 1T around
to his Office In less than ten minutes
he came tearing in, with his eyes fair
ly hanging out of their sockets. Great
heavens, Charley ne gasped, what Is
this anyhow It's a stenographic re-
port of your monologue at IS last
evening" l replied, and gave him a
brief explanation. Did | really talk
like that?' he asked family. I assure
you it is an absolutely verbatim re-
port said l. He turned pale and walk
ed out, and from that day to this he
hasn't taken a drink His prospects at
present are splendid-in fact, he's one
of our coming men. All that he needed
was to hear himself as others heard

NEW SYSTEM BREAD-MAKINo
French Process supposed to he Filled
with Nutrlment.

Bread making is so important fact
OF economy and existence that it even
interests the officials of the United
States government The United States
tohsul at Roubaix, France, recently
sent to the state department a very ac-
curate description of the Schweitzer
system of bread-making, which Is now
being operated at suburb of Paris,
and which is to be established in all
the cities of France by a society or
ganized for that purpose. 1t is claimed
for the Schweitzer bread that 1t con-
tains more nutritiYe heterogeneous prop
critics than bakers bread and double
the phosphates to be found in the lat
ter. The system consists of converting
the wheat into bread within short
time after it enters the mill to be
ground into -four. At the Schweitzer
establishment the wheat is first treat
&c to cleaning process, being brushed
and washed. Then each grain is split
the grinders, which crush it in such d
way as to retain in the flour all the
gluten and other nutritive properties,
the bran alone being expelled. The
freshly ground -four is mixed with
yeast, salt and filtered water and car
ried at once by machinery to the knead-
ers, which are operated by steam. 1t
is possible to knead 4,409 pounds Of
dough per hour When the dough
comes from the kneaders it is carried
automatically to room, where it is
cut into loaves of all sizes and shapes.
The bread is then baked in gas ovens
of a peculiar device. BY this system
of bread making it is said to be posi-
BILE to get 100 pounds of wholesome
bread from 100 pounds of grain. This
bread is sold at the rate Of less than 5
cents for a loaf weighing over two
pounds, which is nearly 2 cents loaf
less than the usual price for bread.
Ten big two-horse wogan loads of
bread are sent out from the establish
ment twice a day and the trade is
growing
