The man who takes life studiously
laughed several times in quick success
sion. The friend with him seized his
arm and exclaimed, apprehensively:

There's nothing wrong" was the
answer. Il was merely laughing at
all those new hats
But there is nothing extraordinary
about them"
THAT is how It seems to you. But
look ahead If they are as funny ten
years from now as the hats of ten
years ago are to-day they will be i,ni-

CITY CHILDREN.
When the level sun is sinking
Aud oil tba ,rorl1 10 s@,ll

When the level sun is sinking
And all the world is still,
And cleaning falls and drowses
On every eastern hill,
When single breath of coolness
Tells the closing of the day
Then all the city children
Flock forth to shout and play.
Poor, little city children!
Shut in the sitting town,
Not for them the shadowed woodland,
Nor theirs the bayfield, brown.
The cool, green sea-waves thunder
On many a summer shore
Yet for them the days bring only
The city's dust and roar.
But see them when the twilight
Fills every roaring street:
There's call of little voices
And a rush of little feet.
And a gust of happy laughter
Through all the surly town;
For the children have their hour
When the twilight gathers down!

They have curious laws in Vienna,
and enforce them too. Recently Marie
Freidl and Felix Kopstein, aged 10 and
13 years respectively, were Walking
along a street in the Austrian capital,
when they came across an old woman
staggering along under the weight Of
a heavy package. Moved by rity they
offered to carry it for the old woman,
a proposition to which she readily ac-
ceded The kind-hearted children had
not gone far before they were ar
rested by a policeman for carrying
parcels without a license. The chill
dren were taken to a police station,
where the officer in charge lectured
them upon the enormity of their Of
fence They were kept under arrest
for six hours and then released with
a warning.
1t seems that there is a corps of
Messengers" in Vienna. to which a
municipal statute grants the exclusive
right of carrying" inside the city. The
boy and girl had violated the law by
carrying the old woman's burden, and

Safeguard Schedule Printed on the Left
of the Blank.
More than 20,000,000O0 of checks
are used annually in the United
States, and of this amount something
like $4,000 are raised" the loss fall
ing on the drawer. for the drawer of a
check is chargeable with the amount
paid on it, provided his signature is
genuine, no matter for what amount
he has previously filled it in. The
vast sum of money which is thus lost
through trickery could be saved il
the security check was universally
adopted.
Many devices have been planned
for toiling the check raiser, but the
secrrsty check is the most perfect
protection the ingenuity of man has
yet unfolded
The check has been briefly de-
scrthei as follows: "On the left of
the check is printed the safeguarding
schedule. The words directing the
payment of money are qualified by
thu following printed into the body
not exceed that expressed in words
aItd figures at end of schedule After
the drawer has written in the amount
OF money to be paid he adjusts a small
Iaper cutter to that line of the upper
lialf of the schedule, which bounds
the maximum amount to be paid in
dollars, tens, hundreds or thousands,

as the small ring in the centre of the
schedule. Then he revolves his ruler,
adjusting it to that line of the lower
half of the schedule which bounds
the NUMBER of dollars, tens Of dol
lars, hundreds or thousands, to be
pail and then completes tearing the
check from the stub along that line.
"This leaves in the hands of the
drawer the check absolutely safe
guarded from alteration for the left
hand margin expresses in words and
figures the amount not exceeding
which it has been drawn
The device is used by scores Of
banks and by hundreds of prominent
firms, although it has been before
the public but a short ime. 1t is used
not only on checks but also notes, re-
ceipts, drafts. bills of lading and 9TH
er papers, and is suited for use of
money orders and tickets. One prom
inent banker expressed the opinion
that the security check would become
the leading monetary paper within
five years.-New York Commercial.

kingman SampIing Works Burned

Last Wednesday morning, about
four o'clock, car near the Kingman
Sampling Works was discovered to be
on fire. An attempt was made to let
off the brakes to get the car away from
the buildings, but the end of the car
being in flames, no one could get near
the brake wheel. The flames soon
communicated to the sampler buildi ng
and it was soon in flames. All the
water pipes were frozen up and not a
drop of water could be had to fight the
flames. Luckily no wind was blowing
and the other buildings were saved.
The heat soon allowed the car to run
down against two other cars on the
side track and all were totally de.
stroyed. The fire originated in a
coach that had been fitted up as a din
ing car and used by the graders on
the road, but it had been side tracked
here and showed up on the sampler
track. Two stoves we're in the car and
tIamps had been making the place
their sleeping quarters. 1t is thought
that they had allowed the stoves to FIJI
up with ashes aud that the Goals had
rolled out through the open door onto
the floor, setting fire to the car. The
loss il about five thousand dollars on
the sampler and about as much more
to the railway company. MeSsrS. Ew-
ing aud Heimrod had nearly one hun
dred tons of ore in the works at the
time, bnt all had been sampled and
paid for, so that the loss will be en-.
tirely their own. They will have CON
siderable work gathering up the ore
from the debris. A great pile of sui
phide ore is still on fire. Several car,
loads of slabs and carload of coal
we're also destroyed. The works will
be rebuilt near the old site Insurance
was about l.5OOS.

A Great Gold Discovery.

II. J. West has made an important
gold discovery on the mesa, two miles
or more west of the Boundary Cone,
below old Fort Mohave. The find was
made on a little butte that raised up
out of the mesa and over which was
scattered ore of every description. A
sample of very black ore, sent to
Kingman, gave a result of fifteen
ounces. Mr.. West brought in many
samples aud had them assayed. Some
gave good average result, while 9th
ers went away beyond his expectation.
He describes the location of the find
as in the mesa country, the whole butte
being covered with broken ore and
small vein ledges. The black ore shows
no gold but gives big results by AS
says. lntermiyed with this black ore
is an ore resem milling porphyry that
gives high assays. A tunnel will be
mass of matter cut through Those
who saw the Yellow Astor mine at
Rands burg, when first discovered. say
that the West find is much like it.
Here the whole surrounding country
is covered with broken ore and crop
pings and the eroded places show the
small veins of ore gridironiug the little
hill. The new find has caused con
siderable excitement and any people
have left or are leaving for the scene
of the strike.

The Quartette mining com pany made
a trial of its new traction engine about
ten days ago and found that it would
not work. The engine III fitted with
twenty.six inch tires and the wagons
with ten iuch tires. The engine rolled
over the sand without making an i'm
preston, but the wagon, loaded with
fifteen tons of ore, went 10 TO the hub.
After many tri ais the wagon had TO be
abandoned. The officers of the com
pany are TO soon hold meeting and
the propo >ition of a narrow gauge rail
road from mine { o mill IL TO be discussed.
The mines are so big and the ore of
such value that railroad is neces-
sity. as the tonnage will be too great
for either steam wagon or team haul.

demonstrated the great value Of the
mines there is no reason TO doubt the
construction OF the road.

w. w. Dunbar returned from the
West gold strike, near boundary Butte,
this evening and is very enthusiastic
in his description of the new find. He
says hat there is 1000 tons of ore on
the surface of the claim that has a
money value of fully 40O,00OS and that
the ledge is Al feet wide. He secured
two claims on the ledge that show a
good outcrop. Eli Hllty aud Frank
Smith have also secured claims. The
fact that the ore will not horn is what
deceived prospectors As to the ore
value. 1t is on the main travelled
road and has been located many times
but the locators have allowed their
title to lapse, believing there was no
values in il. The find is about eight

County Printing.

Owing to lack of time this week the
subject of county printing will be touch
ed upon but lightly by US, reserving the
matter for a future issue. In our next
Issue we intend to give little private
history on the subject of county print
ing since the advent of competition
and the knowledge the board OF super
visors have of the subject. In the
award of the contract to Kean st.
Charles last Wednesday they knew fall
well that they were awarding the con
tract to the highest and at the same
time, poorest bidder in the county, but
they had their election debts to pay
aud they made the tender. Now if
they can deliver the goods the debt is
fully paid up and nOn-assessable. But
they will have a court that knows no
political party to run up against and
they and they and their bondsmen
may have to face some lively music.
