MINING JOTS.
". {. Williams Has Just Made
His Largest Strike.

While w, C. Williams was running
tunnel TO strike a ledge on which he
mad been working he struck lead
which he thinks is between 30 and 40
feet wide and says it will go $35 a ton.
he ore IS very similar TO other ore
found on Cabin No. |. He certainly
has plenty of money in sight in his
mine. He is now hauling ore to his
mill and the best authorities in the
camp claim he has enough ore in
sight to keep ths mill running for five
years
Benson & Livesley have four men
at work on the Jumper. They are
putting the mine in shape to put
larger force of men to work taking out
pay ore. Considerable development
work has already been done on this
mine.
The Slip Company milled Is tons Of
ore from the l65 foot level, taking the
entire vein, and the returns show Sl2
per ton value. The vein is two feet
wide.
Fred Younghans is down 100 feet
on the Huntington and is taking out
pay ore all the time.
Brooks McClane is taking out some
pay ore on the green hill.
Jack Sheehan is sinking on the
Nugget for placer He has already
struck some good pay ore.
Caruthers & Bryant, who have a
lease on the Ferguson mine. are doing
development work. They are meeting
with encouraging prospects.
On the Cabin No 2. owned by
Spiro Francovich, Luigi Della Plazzi
and A. Dondero, the tunnel is now in
500 feet. They are extracting high
grade ore.
Bridges & Sisson have struck well
defined ledge on the Morning Star,
about two feet in width. The ore
carries small values.
Assessment work is being done on
every claim in camp.
Jack Satler has returned from Old
Mexico where he has been employed
in putting in five stamp mill. He
is an old-time Nevada man and thinks
this State good enough for him, and
Olinghouse canyon in particular.
At the close Of this year prosperity
smiles upon Olinghouse Canyon. There
are at least twelve mines that will pro-
duce pay ore sufficient, since this
years development, to keep all three
Of the mills in camp running night and
day. 1t is an assured fact, as the ore
is in sight. that the camp will produce
more gold during the coming year than
it has in its past history. The output
this year was considerably ever $780,
ooo
All the camp needs is to be worked
on larger and more systematic lines.
The last year has been decided i'm
provement in this respect, as the camp
has produced enough to the claim own
ers to put them in shape to work their
mines to better advantage.

The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either n fatal onset of
pneumonia, or a complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is preven-
ton. BY wearing a Benson's Porous
Plaster ON the chest and back YOU
protect the lungs from cold and chill

safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer

If the negro had been forced to com
pete for existence In America, he would
have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps in The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution of slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition,
but also, by artificial means, from those
great forces of nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestrainedly up
ON the ignorant savage. For the first
time. perhaps, In the history OF the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock, with as
much enre as Is put upon the best
horses and cattle. As natural conse-
quence the sanitary condition of tho
negro during slavery was remarkable,
especially by contrast with his present
condition, and his growth was the alb
normal growth of plant abnormally
raised In n dollhouse. When, therefore,
this mass of helpless beings was
thrown upon Its own resources by the
act of emancipation and when the pro-
lection of slavery had been withdrawn,
the dlrest wretchedness aud suffering
followed

QUEEN ELIZABETA'S FAULTS
She Was Very Vain and Unfortunately
Fond of Fine Dress.

Yet Elizabeth was never really sue

dicrously and most appropriately
magnfleent-laden with Jewels, weight

silver embroidery and 80 heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue Of carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity, merely. on that
account. for vanity Is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic.
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful feminine) observer can
doubt that Il vain man Ii vainer than a
vain woman.
Elizabeths hands were her especial
pride, and. Judging from her portraits,
they We're certainly beautiful. They
were laden with jewels, and 1t was her
habit In public to pull her rings off
with absent artlessness and push them
on again. moving those white hands
about In the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration of n
state paper, wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place, she interrupt

squeamish feminine hesitation as TO

In connection with this last charac-
teristic of cruelty vanity Is not Mt all
unprecedented. Indeed, If one observe
| closely one will notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always n
strange inclination toward cruelty.

permitted and indeed commanded In
this respect will hardly bear reading
