are Coslitt, Sinclair, Van Duzer, Sunder-

There is no occasion at the present time
for a rush. No leases will be let until the
mines are sold. Several parties are en-
deavoring to buy the mines at present.

In the fiat is mystery. Whether it lies
as a vast cropping, is reef toppled over
or is simply vast ledge, has not been
determined.
When the mines are sold their value will
be determined. If the owner retains them
he will let leases, but he has promised all

PATENTED MINES.
Constitutional Amendment Which Provides foi
Taxing Them to Be Voted on.

Many Nevada papers are discussing
the proposition that patented mines
should be taxed A constitutional amend
ment which will be submitted to the vot-
ers at the election this fall will, if passed,
make patented mining ground subject to
taxation The amendment, which has
been passed by two Legislatures, and
now goes to the people for ratification
or rejection, is as follows:
Resolved by the Assembly, the Senate
concurring, that the Constitution of the
State of Nevada be amended so as to
read as follows:
amend Section 1. Article x, of the Con-
stitution of the State Of Nevada, so as
to read as follows:
Section /. The Legislature shall pro-
vide by law for uniform and equal rate
prescribe such regulations as shall secure
a just valuation for taxation of all prop
erty, reab personal anu possessory, eA-
cept mines and mining claims when not
patented, the proceeds alone Of which
shall be assessed and taxed, and when
patented the acreage thereof shall be as
sessed and taxed upon valuation of ten
dollars per acre in addition to the tax
upon the net proceeds; and also exempt
ing such property as may be exempted
by law for municipal educational. liter
ary, scientific or other charitable pur-

Origin of the sabbath.

The Sabbath as a religious institu-
ton is far older than the Pentateuchal
legislation.
1t, too, can be traced back to a
Babylonian prototype, not however.
as a day of rest from labor, but as a
kind of atonement day, when by vari-
Gus rites and by observing certain re-
stricted regulations the anger of the
gods could be appeased.
On this old institution the Hebrews
migrated their religious ideas and pro-
duced the unique institution of day
observed as a respite from the weeks
toll, and which, from being an "in-
auspicious occasion, a dies irae, is
viewed as a delight. PROF. Morris
Jastrow in the Independent.

We often pray for things that we
lack and long for. We do not so often
thank God for good things that he has
given us, and which we should long for,
and might even pray for, If we lack
them. Is this right? Will God under
stand from this that our prayers to
Him, and our communion with Him,
will be increased by our lack rather
than by our fulness? Do we pursue
the course that we do in order to show
God that the way to us nearest to Him
is to deprive us of much that we value,
and to see to it that we have always
cause for earnest longing? Judging by
cur own experience, are we not more
richly blessed spiritually when we have
fewest temporal advantages and bene-
fits? There is truth in Mrs. Norton's 8
words:
"Those who have fewest joys know
joys true measure;
They who most suffer, value suffer
ing's pause.
They who but seldom taste the sim
plest pleasure
Kneel oftenest to the Giver and the
Cause"

As to Church Choirs.

II. II. Oberley of Elizabeth, N. j.,
writing in this weeks Churchman on
Vested women choirs," does not object
to female singers, but insists that they
should not wear mems dress" neither
should they march in procession with
the clergy, or sit in the choir stalls.
He says choirs are not necessary in
church anyway. In the ordinary Greek
and Russian churches there are no
choirs. and this was a common condi-
ton in England before the reformation.
Services were always choral, but they
were congregational If really good
choir is not TO be obtained, he con-
cludes, then have none. Go back to
first principles and let the people do
the singing. But under no circum-
stances put yourself under the anathe-
ma of Art. XXXIV. by dressing women
like men and putting them in places
that belong to men.

On what Llfe Depends.

The duration of life does not appear
to depend so much upon the strength
of the body, or upon the quantity OF
its excitability, as upon an exact ac-
cumulation of stimuli to each of them.
A watch spring will last as long as
an anchor, provided the forces which
are capable of destroying both are al
ways in an exact ratio to their
strength. This golden thought is COM
mended to those who make no effort
to control their temper. Every time
you let your angry passions rise you
tax or strain the forces so nicely or
ganized to carry you far down the
green slope of green old age. The
violent and irregular actions of the
passions tend to wear away the
springs of life.-Dr. Benjamin Rush.

Tho Pitch of Our Lives.

Not long ago a lady who has had

said: II presume that pupils often
wonder why am constantly striking

because in that way l can discover the

says: II could not but think that
God must often strike the chords of

TIE SCIENTIFIC WORLD.
Latest Discoveries and Inventions Considered OF
Importance.

An improvement of the Goldschmidt
process OF welding and casting metals
adapts It to the unskilled workman.
The crucibe is of iron. with refrac-
tory lining, and the bottom is closed
by one or more small iron plates, the
top having an iron cover. with fuse
hole In the center substantial trl-
pod Is used as support The crucible
is charged with "thermit" mixture,
which consists of powdered aluminium
and oxide of iron, or other metal, and
for each pound of its weight may
yield nearly half pound of molten
metal, and on this is placed hndling
material connected with the fuse.
Within few seconds after the fuse is
lighted. the contents of the crucible
become fluid from the heat of the OK
idizing aluminium. The reduced iron
from the oxide melts the supporting
iron plates and passes through the
bottom into refractory mold, the
special advantage of the new method
being the holding back of the corun-
dun Stag floating on top. In welding.
the clay mold is made to clasp tight

opening over the ends to be joined
The appliances are simple and not

Tho Metric system In England.

One hundred and seventytwo mem.
bers of parliament have notified their
approval OF the compulsory adoption
of the metric system of weights and
measures throughout Great Britain.
The Decimal Association points out in
a circular that in the interests of trade
the reform should be made at once.
The metric system is already per-
missive and legal in Great Britain and
in the United States. Any manufacture
er or merchant who wishes to increase
his foreign trade is entirely at liberty
to make his goods with metric dimen-
sions and to invoice them in metric
measures. How trade is to be in
creased by forcing him to do so is a
mystery not yet explained by the busy
advocates of the Decimal Association.
