Roosevelt Group Sold.

w. A. Brooks and Ed. Purcell ar.
rived in Kingman Tuesday evening
from San Francisco mining district for
the purpose Of signing deeds in the
matter of the transfer Of the Roosevelt
group Of mines to T. B. Scott. The sal e
was made through II. P. Ewing. The
main ledge of the group, the Roosevelt.
has shaft fifty feet in depth, at the
bottom of which crosscut has been
run. The crosscut is all in ore that
shows considerable free gold. Fred
Stull, superintendent for Mr.. Scott,
left yesterday morning for the mines
to put force of men at work. The
shaft on the Roosevelt will be sunk
fifty feet deeper aud the vein crosscut
al the bottom. Assays from the vein
shows that every pound of ore will
pay to mill. The amount for which
the mine passed is not stated, bot il is
said that good sum was paid over.
Mr.. Ewing believes that the group is
one of the best in the district and that
but a small amount of work is neces
sary to put the mines on a paying
basis.

him on the Billy Mack group Of mines,
above Parker Indian reservation, had
been closed up. The amount paid for
the mines was 50,000S. The claims we're
always considered to be the best in

them. Now that the mines have been

onr MENTAL Traasurx.

The faculty Of having ones mind
pigenholed is of great value, says an
exchange. Some people have their
mental bookcases and storerooms piled
I'D with a mass of material all valu-
able perhaps in it's way, but jumbled
up and piled together so that when
any one thing is wanted it Is not to
be had without overhauling ten times
as much other material which, how
ever, valuable 1t may be of itself, has
no particular use at the moment OF
search. Other people can lay their
mental hands ON any particular fact
or fancy at a moments notice and can
keep on pulling out other facts and
fancies OF the same general charac-
ter until they have told or found all
they know. There Is such q thing as
an embarrassment of riches In ones

material.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Vice, latter all, is only "habit gone to
seed"
Malice is most bitter when it does
the kicking gun stunt.
Those who are greedy Of praise prove
that they are poor in merit.
What too many orators want in
depth they, give you in length.
It never occurs to fools that merit
and good fortune are closely united.
The mind unlearns with difficulty
what has long been impressed upon it.
All men that are ruined are ruined
on the side Of their natural %propensi-
ties.
What we hope ever to do with ease
we must learn first to do with dill
gence.
To coach your servants to lie to call
ers, then chide them for practicing on
you is most foolish.
The difference between a mediocre
work and a masterpiece is measured
and marked by trifes.
Never marry a rich fool, for if his
riches take wings he hasn't the wit to
earn your bread and salt.
Worrying is one Of the greatest draw
backs to happiness. Most Of 1t can be
avoided if we only determine not to let
trifes annoy us, for the largest amount
of worrying is caused by the smallest
trifes.
1t is astonishing how few men there
are at the top. It is astonishing how
many men there are who cut no ice at
all. They may drop out by the thou
sands and not stir a note of regret be-
yond a small circle of friends and rela'
tives who have been intimate acquaint-
ances, and who may know of the mans
concealed and private worth.

pasture field they tramp about the
meadow all day, one behind the other,
il their accustomed order, nor can they
be induced to reverse their position.
This is one of the after effects Of their
rigid training. In his own sphere
the mine mule is a very ungallant an
imal. He hates a woman. It'may be
that he wishes the Pennsylvania State
law to be respected, but whatever his
reasons, he dislikes the sight Of 9
petticoat in his domain. A hundred
men may push him aside and pass in
some narrow alley-way, but it is not
wise or safe for a woman to attempt
to pass the same quiet animal when he
is not busy. He is not an argumen-
tative animal, the mule, and the only
way to get along with him in the pit,
as well as ON the surface, is to respect
his likes and dislikes&-New York Com

Down on the beach anon g the sand
dunes at Cape Lookout the :e is a GER
tain small stre tch Of land where the
sun shines warm and the wind never
strikes, except when it wllisks in lit
tie eddies around the dunes and blows
the dry sand ratt ling among the brok-
en- sea-shells. q ere q pair of Will
sons plovers, one summer, had their
home, and, despth : the vigil of many
enemies, successA ully guarded their
nest in the sand, until two of the
three spotted eggs / contained Matched
out little down-coO cred balls Of peep
ing bird life. The Sc baby birds do
not remain long in he nest, and their
slender legs were so on carrying them
RAPIDLY about after their parents.
One day some menu came to the part
Of the beach where the plover family
lived. The little Q mes were much
frightened, so they at very close to
the sand and the n len did not see
them, Father and Mo Their Plover were
quite uneasy, however,; they flew
near the men and crit I'd, and tried to
get the intruders to follow them away.
The mother bird even pretended to be
lame. When the men saw this, one
Of them said: "LoOk at that bird;
she has a nest of youn g ones near
here, or she would not aob SO. I have
seen cartridges on the n1a4;A8nd act
in the same name .WheIl I vas near
their young" IN
Then they began to sc arch amo,lg
the shells. This alarmed the pare nts
so much that they determined to try
their last and best tri ok. The little
mother ran up close to the men. fell
on her side, and futteredt and cried as
If she was dying. The father bird
and two other plovers, who he'd a
nest farther up .the shore, ran to her
and rubbed her with their bills as If
they were very anxious and SO, sorry
about her sickness.
Look here,'' said the mani who had
spoken before, that bird really must
be hurt. I have seen many. kinds of
birds pretend to be injured. but have
never seen two play differ ent parts
in the same trick" So they started
to catch her.
But Mrs. Plover seemed ito get bet
ter, and ran on for fifteen or twenty
yards, and then appeared to fall
again. The other plovers gathered
about as before, and put their bills
under her as If to rise and help the
sick one. The men went hurrying on;
but the lady bird again, recovered
enough to run for a little distance.
The young plovers saw the group pass
off among the dunes, the four birds
in front and the men following after.
| Twenty minutes later the shrewd old
birds were back with their children,
and the men, entirely outwitted, were
far down the beach toward their boat.

Man could not live in a biFdless
world. A French naturalist asserts
that IL all the birds in the world were
to die suddenly, human life on this
planet would become extinct in nine
years. In spite of all the sprays and
poisons which could be manufactured
to kill off destructive slugs and insects,
they would so multiply that in that
length of time they would have eaten
I'D all the orchards and crops in ex-
istence and man would be starved to
death. All that man does in the way
of preserving to u use the kindly
fruits Of the earth" Is al nothing COM
pared with what is accomplished by
the vast army Of birds which prey
upon insect life and thus keep it down
to a point which permits Of the growth
of sufficient food to support human life.
Take away the birds and in nine years
not a man, woman or child would be
aliye-all dead of starvation.
