Rich Strike Near knoxville.

The Lovelock Tribune reports a strike
of exceedingly rich ore mad by the
Thornton brothers on the trail between
Unionville and Rye Patch. The ledge
can be traced for a mile on the surface.
1t was found by the Thornton boys a
year ago and they have been doing active
development work since that time. The
developments show it to be a very valu-
able silver mine carrying some gold and
copper. The assays made from a num-
Der of samples of the ledge showss the
lowest values to be Sill per ton. The ore
ranges from that on up to 500 a ton.
about $40 of which is gold. They have an
incline down forty-ive feet. The ledge
pitches into the mountain at about As
degrees. There are three separate veins
within the walls proper. The top vein
is twelve inches wide. the center six in
ches and the lower eight inches wide and
they are about two feet apart. The walls
are slate formation.
They have several tons of ore on the
dump that will net handsome returns.
The ore will have to be packed about
four miles and then hauled by wagon to
Rye Patch.

Costly Machinery Sold for Junk.

The local v. & T. train has from one
or two fiat cars of iron and machinery
included in its daily freight consigned to
San Francisco, where a part of 1t goes
in the junk pile, while much of 1t, after
undergoing a polishing up process, is
sold at a small discount below the price
for new machinery. 1t is estimated that
the Fulton foundry proprietary has rea-
lized a colossal fortune through buying
up Comstock mining and milling machin-
cry at old junk prices-a large amount
of which was originally constructed at
the foundry-and shipping it to other
places. The original cost of Comstock
mining and milling machinery purchased
by the foundry proprietors at old junk
prices ran up into the millions Virginia

Growth of Sheep Industry.

The growth of the sheep industry in
the Rocky mountain States in the last
quarter of a century has been enormous,
says the Portland (Ore.) Oregonian. 1t
has, in fact, been created in that section
within that period, this being especially
the case in Montana, which State, as will
be shown by special reports soon to be
published by the Department of Agri-
culture, now leads in sheep raising and
the production of wool. About twenty
five years ago the first band of sheep
was taken into Montana, and this small
flock has increased until now. according
to the departments figures, there are
over $500, 900 sheep in the State. In the
year 1901 there were 5000, 900 lambs added
to the focks of Montana, and 1000, 900
pounds of wool were produced at an
average of 14.3S cents a pound.

Device to Prevent Railroad Collisions.

Railroad collisions will become a thing
of the past If a new invention of the Rev.
Kurtmann Mueller. pastor of the German
Lutheran Church at Hartford, 8. D.,
comes into universal use. By it two
trains cannot, it is alleged, get within
1000 feet of each other on a single track
When the trains reach a point where
they are 5000 feet apart a danger ign
in the form of an electric globe Is lighted
in the engine cab directly In front OF
each engineer. If the engineer for any
reason fails to stop his train the engine
will automatically stop itself. The train
moves 1000 feet after the danger signal
is first displayed, and then the device
automatically blows the whistle as a
warning and stops the train.

An Oklahoma paper advises a business
man who uses a rubber stamp for print
ing letterheads that he should stick to
his theory. 1t suggests that when a
baby comes to bless the family he might
note the event on pine board marked
with fire coal. 1t also tells him h a
when he runs for Office he can have the
matter mentioned on a sheet of wrap
ping paper marked with red chalk, and
if the opposition assails him he might
defend himself by borrowing a barn door
and putting a reply in it with yellow
paint. 1t is real handy to get along
without a newspaper or printing office
IL one stops to think about 1t. even
when one dies he might have 1t arranged
for a friend to get a section of card
board and put an obituary on it.

For Constable.

Joseph Lavoy. who has served the peo-
pie of Winnemuca so capably as Con-
stable for the last two years, announces
himself as "a candidate for reelection
TO the place. Mr.. LaVoy was for many
years one of the railroad company's most
popular and competent conductors and
has resided in this town for many years.
Two years ago he was a candidate for
Constable and was elected by a sub
stantial majority. His record as a peace
officer has proved that the voters made
no mistake In their selection. He has
never shirked any part of his duty, but
has compelled respect of the law from
all alike. The hobo element know him
so we'll that they do not include this
town on their list of stop-over points. Mr..
Lavoy Is certainly the right mar for the
place and there could be no better selec-
ton made.
