DISCOVERY OF PUMICE STONE.
Located About a Mile Northeast of
Beck's Hot Springs.

A valuable discovery Of pumice stone
was reported on the streets yesterday
as having been made in the hills about
a mile northeast of Beck's Hot springs.
The location required by law has been
made on the l00-acre homestead tract
of w. NJ. Beynon in section II, town
ship l north, range l west, by A. +.
Lawson and J. 3. Taylor, and a con-
test is likely between the lOcatOrs and
the occupant of the land. who, by the
way. has not yet secured his final re-
ceipt from the state land board. which
selected the land for BeynOn under re-
linquishment of his homestead entry
and contracted to sell it to him on more
advantageous terms than the govern
ment offers.
The locators of the pumice stone de-
post claim under the general mineral
land laws.

Wedekind Excitement.
CReno Journal.

Six months since the Wedekind min
ing district was an unheard of tract
OF land. Today the same locality is
literally dotted with location mOnu-
ments, in fact, so numerous are the
corner mounds and location rock heaps
that one couldn't stake out a tWo-by-
scantling claim if his life depended
upon ii.
The Reno Star group of mines, the
original and richest claim, owned by
the Wedekind brothers, still holds the
right of supremacy. Since the second
big strike just recently made on this
group the fever has seized Reno's
people again and Recorder Shearer
thumps the book typewriter from early
morn till late at night filing and re-
cording claims located in this wonder
full district.

DIR. FRANKLIN's RETURN.
Has Been Examining Colorado Mines
For Boston Capitalists


DR.. p. A. II. Franklin, president of
the Blackbird COpper-Gold Mining
company returned yesterday morning
from ten days trip into Colorado. He
has been making an examination of a
gold property about ten miles north of
Boulder for Boston parties, and de-
clareS that his Investigations warrant
him in recommending its purchase.
The doctor says the camp Of Boulder
will yet make another Cripple Greek.
The ores of the district, he says, are
very rich, and it's only drawback has
been the crude way IN which mining
has been carried on. In one property
which he visited the ores were divided
into four classes. The fourth class
netted the owners about SO per ton.
the third class about $685. the second
about Sl25. and the first all the way
from $4,000 to $4,000 He had seen
lots IF ore which was worth $40 a
pound. and with systematic mining
methods in vogue he is confident the
section has a brilliant future.

right along. The shaft is now 15S feet
deep, and it is expected that it will be
sunk soon to new level, about fifty TO
seventy-five feet lower down. The
mine has grown richer the further
down it is developed, and it is ex-
pected that this will still hold good.
1t is one of the few mines in the state
that has paid its own way from the
prospecting stage"

RICH GOLD STRIKE.
On the Headwaters of Salmon
River.
Wood River Times.)

Wood River Times)
Dan HawkswOrth, who left Ketchum
June last for the headwaters of the
Salmon river, to represent his own and
the interests of other parties, returned
there day or two ago for supplies, and
reports what he believes to be one of
the most important discoveries of the
year. The evidence is more than con-
irmed by the rich display of free gold
and SulDhuret ores he has shown to
few friends. He also shows some very
coarse gold PANIED from the iron of the
ledge.
There is five feet of ore in the face
of the discovery claim. Two locations
have been made, having within their
lines six well-defined lOdeS, none of
which have been prOspected yet, ex-
cept discovery on the west side, as
stated above, and some work on the
extension.
A trail will be made from the wagon
road to the mines in a few days, and
house will also be put up as soon as
the trail is cut through.

Favor. Late suppers.

A London doctor in an interview re-
Gently spoke strongly against the the
ory that late suppers are injurious. He
declares, in fact, that many persons
who remain thin and weakly in spite
of all precautions in regard to diet,
ETC., owe the fact largely to habitual
abstemiousness at night. He says
physiology teaches us that in sleeping
as in waking there is a perpetual waste
going on in the tissues of the body,
and it seems but logical that nourish-
ment should be continuous as well. The
digestion Of the food taken at dinner
time or in the early evening is finished
as a usual thing before or by bedtime;
yet the activity Of the processes Of as
similation, ETC., progresses for hours
afterward. And when one retires with
an empty stomach the result Of this
activity is s~leeplessness and an undue
wasting of tie system.

Danger in kissing Your Wife If You Do

Danger In Kissing Jour Wife If You Do
1t at the Wrong Time.
"You must have ben trying to eat a
buzzsaw in notion" said the friend to-
the man who hasn't been married long.
Mot as bad Is that, but nearly" he
responded, as he tenderly rubbed the
scars that adorned his mouth and chin.
Been seeing how far you could slide
on your face?" asked the friend, anx-
iously. mo. Say! For heavens sake,
If you will say nothing to anyone I'll
tell you how it happened. You know
my wife and l have been married just
long enough to have most Of the gloss
rubbed off from the honeymoon? In
fact, have arrived at that point where
we take things as a matter of course,
and realize that there are others in this
world as we'll as ourselves. well, the
other morning it suddenly dawned
upon me that I hadn't kissed her for
a whole week, and my conscience
smote me. Even now, I told myself,
she may be crying her eyes out, under
the impression that I love her no
longer. I remembered how We had
promised each other during our honey
mon that our married life would be one
long, sweet dream, with the honey
moon as a basis. I chided myself for
my indifference and determined. to
make amends at once. We'll, I looked
my. wife up and found her in her room
doing up her hair before a miro"
Stepping quickly forward, with all ii ,
ardor of my courtship days I threw 7 y
arm about her and planted a kiss upon
her lips. At least such was my inten-
ton; but instead, I ran my mouth into
a bristling array Of hairpins that she
had stuck between her lips. If there
were any doubts before about the
honeymoon being over, there was none
when the lady got her mouth free of
hairpins and said what she had to say
on the subject. 1.-The next time I kiss
