A New EMBALMINa FLUID.-The
Memphis Medical college has for sew
eral weeks been experimenting with
an embalming fluid Tor which great
possibilities are predicted. 1t is AS
sured that this discovery is superior to
the embalming preparation used by the
Egyptians, for while the infusion will
preserve the subject for all time, hu-
manly speaking, as did that of the
ancients, it prevents the shriveling up
that was inseparable from Egyptian
embalming and il does not call for the
swaths and bandages in which all
Egyptian mummies we're encased.
Tho principal experiment up to this
time has been upon the body Of a dog,
which was treated thirty days ago.
Today it looks as natural as in life.
1t IS rigid, but in a perfectly natural
pose. There is no trace of odor about
it, nor is there any other visible symp-
tom of decay.
Tests of the fluid have been made by
the demOnstrator at the Memphis col
lege, and he is so well convinced of its
practical utility that he will use it for
the preservation of all the cadavers
used in the college.
The fluid pctrilies the body. Neither
arsenic nor %strychnine is used in the
preparation.

MARVELLOUS RICH STRIKE.
East Drift Of Broughsr Shaft Ablaze with
Horn Silver-Assays $500 per ton.

That the Tonopah Mining Com
pany's mines are increasing in value
every day is being demonstrated. as
development work under the able a
agment nov at the helm is prosecuted.
On Wednesday the east drift on the
$50 level Of the Brougher shaft showed
up a seven-foot ledge Of horn silver ore
that will average $500 per ton in sill
yer, besides carrying its usual per cent
in gold. The ore is literally covered
With chunks Of horn silver, some the
size Of the end Of ones finger. The
strike alone increases the value of this
property millions Of dollars. and we
believe It can be honestly stated that
there is not another property on the
Pacific Coast today that is worth in
value what the Tonopah group is.
It IS idle talk to say hat the COM
pany has disposed Of its mines for
SIS 5000 900. when they are estimated
by the leading mining experts Of the
world 10 be worth at least 0,OOo.0 900
or o,ooo,o 900. When the owners Of
the Tonopah mines sell for $4,000, 900
or $1,000 900 it will be many years
from the present time.
All Of the development is showing
up we'll. and demonstrates that the
Lodges 60 down and increase in size
and richness, and 1t is now an assured
fact that it will take twenty years to
work the ore now in sight If not a
pound more is found.-Tonopah Be-
nanza.
