TASTING OF LIQUORS.
There Is Known to Be "A Good Deal
of Humbug in the Expert
Palate Claim.

Stories about the delicate taste"
of those who claim to be wine experts
are always interesting. Recently we
came across one in which Goethe fig
ures, says the Buffalo Commercial.
At a small party at the court of Wei
mar the marshal asked permission to
submit a naneless sample of wine.
Accordingly a red wine was cir
culated, tasted, and much commend
ed. Several of the company pro-
nounced it Burgundy, but could not
agree as to the special vintage of the
year. Goethe alone tasted and tasted
again, shook his head, and, with a
meditative air, set his glass on the
table.
"Your exeefency appeaps to be of a
different opinion" said the court
marshal. May 1 ask what name you
give the wine?"
''The wine, said the poet, rs quite
unknown to me, but 1 do not think
that it is a Burgundy, 1 should
rather consider it good Jena wine
that has been kept for some while in
a Madeira cask."
"And so, in fact it is" said The
court marshal.
There is a great deal of hum6ug in
this wine tasting and expert palate
in liquors. We have seen several men
smacking their lips over some "real
old' whisky from a bottle labeled
1913, and discussing what the effect
of the aging had been. when the real
facts were that it was very ordinary
whisky put into a bottle labeled as
above the night before by some one

A Fiendlsh Attack.

An attack was lately made on c. F.

proved fatal. 1t came through his kid

stoop without great pain, nor sit in chair
except propped by cushions. No remedy
helped him until he tried Electric Bitters

Selby Gets the Ore,

Mr. Davis to-day received a letter
from his partner, Mr. Lothrop, in
which it is stated that he has re
ceived telegram from Mr.. Oddie to
ship all the ore at Sodaville to Selby
Mr., Lothrop says that there is about
ten car loads Of ore at the railroad
and that they have no more room to
pile it up, He says they have some
loaded in cars all ready to go, and
that the rest will be shipped as rap
idly as possible. This is good news
for the camp, as shippers were anx-
ious to get their returns, and Selby
has their confidence to a greater ex-
tent than any new firm.

his enemies the English referred to

however, has no connection with the

whose true name is not Boney but
Bones. BY the way, Bones had
quite an interesting experience few
days ago, an account of which we
have not room to publish, but which

tell about Ask him.

ToNoPAH ORE BODIES.
The Chute Theory as to Their Occur
renee.

The Chute Theory as to Their Occur
renee.
The early history of all great min
ing camps discloses what might be
termed cropping in the dark, " not
only as to the true value of the
mine itself, but as to the manner of
occurance of its values and the pos
ition of its ore bodies.
We speak in this connection only of
great mines, and not of the ordinary
mine or prospect, because in the case
of Tonopah a comparison can only be
made with the former class.
The doubt and uncertainty as to
the value of the Tonopah mines may
be said to be a thing of the past.
Facts speak louder than theories, and
the fact of the production of
thousands of dollars of high grade ore
every twenty four hours, the ship
ment of the same to smelter and the
circulation of the proceeds, which is
putting new blood into all this part
of the state, needs no explanation or
comment, but on the other hand,
however, the manner of occurance of
the ore bodies which produce these
values is a question which is still open
to speculation.
OF course eventually all these
things will be finally determined. At
present the most plausible theory,
and the one which seems to be best
supported by the facts which we
have at hand is that the ledges con
tain chutes of high grade ore, of
greater or lesser length, which dip
to the east
1t must not be inferred, however,
by the reader who is macquainted
with the Tonopah district, that these
chutes contain all of the good ore and
that the intervening spaces are
barren. The chutes referred to
carry ore Of the value of from $50
to $500 aud upwards per ton, and it
is these chutes that gladden. the
heart of the leaser and that are max
ing fortunes for many Of them But
in between these chutes along the
various ledges occurs what is termed
in Tonopah as poor ore, that is to say,
ore that carries value of only from
$50 to S75 per ton, and which cannot
be worked, by the leaser, with profit
under present conditions
This theory being admitted, many
problems in connection with early
Tonopah mining are explained. The
miner sinks straight shaft on the
ledge where rich chute crops on
the surface Eventually he passes
through the chute into poor ore. If
he is persistent he keeps on sinking
ard possibly strikes another chute at
greater depth.
OF course all this is theoretical but
the weight of evidence seems to favor
the assumption. There may be local
causes which may seem to demon
strate otherwise in certain instances,
but generally speaking it would seem
the theory would hold good and that
it will finally develop into fact
