WASHOE WILL BE
A BULLION

Mining excitement in Washoe has
passed its first fever stage and the
people are at work developing their
mining locations. The discoveries
MADE by prospectors in the late winter
ano spring are receiving attention in a
way that will reveal their hidden treas
ure' should there be anything valuable
10 reveal. There is sufficient kno VIZ
from the work that has been done TO
give Washoe county a position in the
future among bullion producing sections
OF the State. There is less said about
mining properties and more work done
upon them than there was said and
done in the early spring, which has
been the means Of developing some
very good properties, from their pres
ent appearance.
ClInghouse district, which is an
enigma in mineral deposits, continues
TO give new and larger indications Of
permanent value. As depth is secured
by the miners the value in the de-
posts increases in area and quantity.
The lodges and other gold bearing
formations continue to increase in size
and value as the pick and shovel dis
close them to view. Gold is now taken
from deposits where II was not be-
lieved to be six months ago, and gold
is taken from claims whose barrenness
was conceded by miners.
The late Wedekind discovery of rich
deposits upon the adjoining claim to
the original location made by Mr..
Weekend is causing confidence in the
minds Of miners in the Weekend dis
trict. There are other claims in the
yicinity of Washoe that are looking
we'll and give promise Of rich discoy-
cries in the near future.
Copper is receiving the attention ii
merits. as large quantities Of metal
are known to be near Reno. These
copper properties will prove a source
Of wealth to the community and to
those who are interesting themselves
in their development. The Journal is
informed the copper deposits in Pea
vine mountain are making a good
showing OF h.gh grade ore and plenty
Of it.
1t is not the intention to misrepre-
sent the mining interests Of Washoe,
or to give a coloring to these interests
that the facts will not sustain. Harm
to the country and those who might
rely upon statements made in the pa
per, shonld be avoided. Mi~srepresent-
alton is not required. as the mining
properties Of Washoe will not be hid
den under a bushel, should they con
tain anything like the value placed
upon them by miners Of experience

Salt and Horse Radish.

Some people care for nothing hut
lemon on raw oysters, but there are
others who desire horse radish. Usual
ly such folk regard the strongest horse
radish as the best, but an experienced
yender of the condiment poohpoohs
this point of view.
"Why should the strong horse radish
be considered goodY says he. at
brings tears to your eyes and lifts the
top of your head off and makes you
want to sneeze. 1t has no taste what
ever. The mild horse radish, that which
has stood awhile. is the best and pleas
ATTEST always.
There is nothing so foolish as TO
think that the strong. biting kind Is
the fresh-that is the reason why II Is
preferred TO the mild sort-for the very
stalest, weakest horse radish can be
made in 90 minutes strong enough to
blow your head off. All you need to
do Is to add salt to II. Try this some
time. Just take any old horse radlsh,
dump IN n spoonful of salt and then
notice the difference. | don't know
why salt should have such a powerful
effect on the stuff. but no doubt a
chemist could tell you that. "-Philadel-
phia Record.

New or Old, Which?

Monday, January lst, we started on
the year 1900 and it will be completed at
midnight of December 3lst next, when
the century will also be completed and
we will, Immediately thereafter, make
our start on the new century. This is
the way we look upon the question. 1t
is rs PLAIN to US as the nose on mans
face, but some people don't see 1t in that
light and among them is our old friend,
DR.. w. M. Mclaughlin Of Harmony,
whose communication follows:
GAS the pastor OF the church here
took occasion in his service last Sabbath
to deny the item in the REPORTER last
week in relation to the beginning of the
new year and the new century, i will try
10 eucitlate the fact that the new cen
tury did actually begin .Jau. /, 1900.
when person is 100 years old he is
century old, Is he not? Yes. Well, II
n child is born January |, 1900, after liv-
ing one year he would be one year old
January |, 1901. Ga January |, 1899, he
would be 80 years old and on January l,
1900 he certainly would be 100 years old
would he not? Yes. He need not live
another day to complete his 100 years or
to make him any more or to make him
any more or less than century old. Is
not that plain? just so with the centu-
ries. AT the beginning of our reckoning
one whole year does not elapse before
the century begins, but the first century
Ia one year old, so to speak, and when
100 years have elapsed It is a completed
century. Last year January1, 1890, 80
years of the century had passed, and on
January l, 1900. 100 years or century
rounded out. There cannot be anything
palmer than that. The 10Th century Is
done and the ooh century has begun.
1.-The advocates OF the theory that the
old century does not end until Jan. |,
1901, go on the principle that one year
of time must elapse before the first
century could begin. Any one can see
the falsity Of that"

Killed Classical Quotations.

In tracing the decline of the use OF
classical quotations In legislative bod
les the Boston Herald cites the ease OF
Edward Everett, who once concluded
a stately speech in congress with a
long, sonorous and superbly modulated
citation of a passage from Tacitus and
then took his seat No sooner was he
through than up sprang burly mem
Der from what was then a frontier
state of the west. He had once been
an Indian agent. and no sooner was he
on his legs than he began to pour out
vehement harangue in Choctaw
After awhile the speaker called him to
order.
81 don't see why my freedom OF
speech should be abridged! he cried
"You let the gentleman from Massa
chusetts run on, and | didn't under
stand the first word of his lingo any
better than he does NINE"
The scene was described as very
comical but 1t struck the deathknell
of further classical quotations in a
congress that had not the ray of an
idea what the unintelligible lingo OF
Cicero and Tacitus was driving at

No one has been more successful In
reformatory work among the criminal
class of women than Mrs. Ellen Cheney
johnson, who for the last fifteen years
Of her life was superintendent of the
Sherborn Prison for women. Mrs. lsa-
bel C. Barrows, long and intimately as
sociated with her In prison work, pays
FITTING tribute to the memory OF this
noble woman, In an article on "Ellen
johnson and Sherborn Prison" in the
January issue of the New England mag
aziae. This account includes not only a
history OF the institution and its manner
OF discipline, but cites many incidents
illustrating Mrs. Johnson's rare insight
into human nature and her novel meth
DDS OF awakening her prisoners to a
sense of honor ana trustworthiness.
1.-THE Little Boy and the Elephant"
the opening story In Sc. Nicholas tor
January, is the tale of little Indian
prince who is carried off into the jungle
by an amiable wild elephant, that takes
very good care of him and finally re-
stores him to his friends. Jules Guerin
has made several illustrations of little
Nooro's peculiar experiences, and one OF
them forms the frOntisplece OF the mum.

A Penalty For Being Polite.

1t Is more difficult to be polite In the
city of Hamburg than In any other
place in Europe. There the most chiy-
alrous man has to think twice before
giving up his seat in car TO a lady, az
he may be turned Off the car for po-
likeness. 1t seems that the Hamburg
trolley cars will seat, according to size,
20 or % persons. 10 to IA on each side.
In addition four persons are allowed
on the fSont and five persons on the
back platform. When the car is full,
the conductor hangs out a sign. BE
setzt." which means occupied" and Is
absolutely forbidden to take on another
passenger until some one gets off the
car.
Sometimes. while the conductor is In
front collecting fares a lady will step
on the car which is already occupied"
As there is no conductor on hand to
prevent her. the lady steps inside, and
the gentleman who may offer her o
seat comes out and takes his stand on
the platform. When the conductor aft
er going his rounds returns TO his post,
he promptly requests the gentleman to
step off the car, as he has forfeited his
seat and the car Is fully occupied"
Should he refuse to leave the car he is
put off The policemen on the streets
are instructed to watch the cars sharp
ly. and If they find a car carries even
one more passenger than Its proper
complement the conductor Is fined 70
cents, which Is paid to charity fund
of the street railway company.-Phila

ton on the finger OF her who has ever
