THE NILE DAM. :

THE NILE DAM.
The great dam over the Nile at
Assuan has been.completed SO that
men can walk across the historic
river dryshod and Wagons can drive
over it, says Hearst's American.
BY this. great engineering work
an area ofIs5, 600, 600 acres has been
given to,cultivation. The land thus
redeemed will be about the most
fertile in the world.
Z Of all the remarkable facts CON
nected with this undertaking per-
haps the most interesting is that it
isa literal fulfilment of a prophecy
contained in the Bible, Isaiah. chap
ter XII, verse.15:
And the Lordtshall utterly destroy
the tongue Of the Egyptian Sea; and
with His mighty wind shall He shake
His hand over..the river and shall smite
| 1t in the seven streams, and make men
go over dry.shod. z
There is no question that the Nile
is here referred to- The prophecy
made 2,361 years ago, according
to the old Biblical chronolo gB, was
literally fulfilled the other day when
Sir John Arid, the British contrac-
tor, escorted a party across the
completed dam.
This undertaking has been des-
8cribed as the greatest engineering
feat the Worlds has ever seen, and
probably with reason. Many things
besides human skill and science
help to make it wonderful. It is
destined to restore prosperity to
the country which was. for countless
ages the centre of the world IS civil
slization, which was civilized ten
thousand years ago. 1T turns to the.

The dam which has just been

There is d subsidiary one at Assiut,

Revelation to Min
erS.

The discovery of a new process
for extracting gold from ore was
announced in Denver some days
ago. The claims Of the inventor
and two other men interested with
him were SO extravaganza that little
attention was paid to it. The rep
utation of at least one of those in
terested in the secret process is of
SO high a grade that the mining
men and scientists have been
forced to investigate it. The in
vention is called the Wynn pro-
cess, after Professor Wynn, the
alleged discoverer.
Briefly it consists of pulverizing
the ore, treating it in a tank with
chemicals and then extracting the
gold by fire. In all chemical pro-
cesses heretofore invented the gold
is precipitated or held in solution
till extracted by other acids. In
the Wynn process the gold rises
with other matter as a scum.
1T the Wynn process is not a
fake all other processes ever dis
covered have extracted at the most
but one-fortieth of the gold in ore.
Willard Teller, brother of the SEN
ator, declares he has tested the
process thoroughly and is satisfied
it is not a fake.
From 1000 pounds of ore tested
the Wynn process extracted a Sc
gold button, while careful assayers

Railroads to TOno-
pah.

The Salt Lake Herald says:
Three different railroads are fig
uring on building into the Tono-
pah district. All are awaiting
further development of tonnage
before reaching a final decision.
The three roads are the San Pc
dro, the Nevada Central and the
Carson & Colorado, a branch of
the Southern Pacific. All are said
to be ready to build as soon as the
camp demonstrates that it is big
enough and permanent enough to
justify the expenditure of money
needed for railroad building.
J. G. Phelps Stokes, of New
York, president of the Nevada
Central, is now in Salt Lake. One
of the objects Of his western trip is
said to be an investigation of the
prospects of the Tonopah region
with a view Of extending the rail
road if the situation justiies such
a step. The Nevada Central is a
narrow-guage road ninety-three
miles in length, running from Bat
tie Mountain, on the Southern Pa
cifc, to Austin, Nevada. 1t was
built to handle the ores of the Aus
tin mines, and since they closed
down it has been kept running on
the tonnage furnished by other
mines in the vicinity.
Il do not wish to hold out any
false hopes that the Nevada Cen
trail will be extended to Tonopah,"
said Mr.. Stokes last evening. "The
subject has been preached, but
nothing definite has been done as
yet. Until the district has been
developed to a greater extent,
there is no use discussing an ex-
tension of the Nevada Central. We
would have to build 100 miles
across a desert country. The en-
cheering problems would be sim
pie, but we are not going to extend
until it is demonstrated to US that
the road would pay. When we
are convinced of that, we are ready
to go ahead
The route from Sodaville, on
the Carson q Colorado branch of
the Southern Pacific, is said to be
the simplest and easiest. Officials
of the Southern Pacific have in
vestigated the conditions at Tono-
pah and it is said they declined to
any action until more devel-
opment work has been done.

Day.

To-day is Thanksgiving Day
We of this little community have
every reason we believe to give
thanks for the prosperity that has
attended us as a community and
In general during the year. 1t is
one of the days out Of the 365 that
we should give attention. From
its origin it has been a day for
thanks first, for feasting second,
for merriment third. In the morn
ing expressed recognition for ia
vors bestowed upon us by Provi-
dence, during the day hearty APP
plication of appetite to the ban

first Thanksgiving in several years
that the day has not been cele-
brated by a grand ball in the even
Ing but we hope the birth of a
new social season, the dawn of the
Winters pleasure, will not stand
neglected in Battle Mountain.
The Word and Works says that
sometimes we feel like railing
against holidays-they seem to
come at such inconvenient times,
when we are busy and begrudge
the time. But on second thought
that is why holidays should be
made useful. If this world we're
made only for what we call "doing
business then holidays would be
useless and ~senseless. We should
all be Gradgrinds and there would
be no holidays or Sabbaths. But
man is made for something higher
than what we choose to call ''busi-
ness" That higher law which de-
mands that we look out of and
away from ourselves also requires
that We shall not only spend labor
and money, but also time for some
thing higher than material things.
This is what our executives recog-
nize, when once a year they pro-
claim that the people may spend
one dey in giving thanks to Al
mighty God for His blessings.
The fact that this annual festival
Is peculiarly an American institu-
ton is a proof that the American
people are truly religious at heart.
The annual American T~hanksgiy-
ing is nothing If not religious. To
make it a mere day for feasting
and hunting and sports is to make
a heather holiday of it. II such
customs prevail the day will not
last. Let us, therefore, use our in
fiuence to make it not only a fam
lily holiday but also a day of sin
cere thanksgiving for the mercies
and blessings of Almighty God.
