Mohave County miner., 1902-06-26

Over on the other side of the river in
the Dead Mountain, or Mount New
berry country, are many excellent
mining claims, carrying values in both
gold and silver. Johnny Flynn has a
group of claims at the north end of
the mountain, about twelve miles from
Searchlight, that give great promise.
He has been at work on these mines
for several years and has taken much
good ore. Several years ago an arastra
was put in and through this crude mill
the ore was reduced and the gold Sc
cured. Should the railroad go in to
Searchlight from hex it would pass
within mile Of the mines. On the
other side of the mountain j. W. Tuck,
Of Needles, has group that give good
gold values. Considerable work has
been done on these mines and splen.
did trail has been built in to them.
Along the range, farther south, several
more mines have been opened up.
Only few miles north from Ibex the
Van Sykes have opened up mining
claim from which they have been ship.
ping ores to the sampler for several
years. They have made an attempt at
milling these ores, but lack OF water
prohibited further operations.

PENSION BILL PASSES
WITHOUT OPPOSITION
There Was Some Lively Debate But
II Went Through on a Viva
VOce Vote

Washington, Jan. 16.-During the
discussion of the pension bill in the
house yesterday afternoon Represen-
tative Norton (Dem), OF Ohio. made a
warm arraignment Of the Republican
rules that meet the old soldier when
ever he comes forward with a claim
before the pension bureau. There is
always a rule for him to meet" cried
Mr.. Norton, "and which ever way he
turns he meets other rules" Mr..
Norton served notice that he would In
troduce a bill changing the rules OF
the bureau so that the old soldier
would be given the benefit Of the
doubt upon the vital points of his
claim.
Mr.. Smith (Rep), Of Illinois, said
during his remarks on the pension
bill that Mr. Vandiver Dem0. of
Missouri, who preceded him, needed
reconstruction. Mr.. Vandiver leaped
to his feet and denounced the attack
as "cowardly."
The pension bill was passed with
out dissent on a viva voce vote.

Making II cIenr.

To confuse a witness is generally an
easy task, and lawyers know no easier
way than to make a witness explain
the meaning Of his words, knowing
that very few people can do so without
getting excited. Occasionally a victim
rosents this naggng and answers IN a
spirited and unexpected manner. A
lawyer was cross examining a young
girl Of rather naughty temper She had
testified that she had seen the defend
ant shy" a book at the plaintiff, and
the lawyer had seized on the word.
"Shy-shy n book? What do you
mean by that? VIII you explain TO the
court what the word shy meansY
The girl leaned over the desk be-
meath the witness box, picked up a
lawbook and threw it at the lawyers
head, who lodged just In time.
81 think the court now understands
the meaning OF the word shy" said
the judge gravely, and the girl was al
lowed to finish her testimony without
further interruption.-London Tit-Bits.

Inauisitive Penguins.

We often met companies OF six or
eight or more penguins promenading
on the arctic ice pack in the sunshine.
When they saw us, they generally ex.
hlbited curiosity and approached to
get a nearer view. I do not know If
these birds have the instinct OF the
naturalist and take a lively interest
doubtless philosophic from their point
OF view, in everything new which pre-
sents itself or If the object Of their
Investigations is entirely practical, but
they certainly came near us with dis.
tinct purpose Of making examination.
But if we had the misfortune TO eX-
cite much curiosity they became ag-
gressive. One would first come close
to us and reconnoiter, and then, on lis
order, the others would advance with
menacing air, and the battle began,
a battle IN which we sometimes had
trouble to demonstrate effectively our

WANT TO SEE FOUR oNs2,

when the moon is well up la the heav.

Instead Of seeing one Image, as you
viii expect. you win see four
One of these Images viii be very

They will be in a straight line one

and the images will appear 70 revolvs

The explanation Of this queer little
phenomenon may be found ia the fact
that there are two surfaces in n mirror
one In front and the other IN the back
where the quicksilver is.
The brightest Of the images Is from
the moon itself The others are what
are known as secondary images re-
fected from the front to the back OF
the mirror and thence TO the eye
A similar experiment may be made
with the planets Venus, Jupiter and
Mars or with any OF the first magni-
tude stars. such as Sirius, Capella,
Arcturus, Vega and Antares.
The planets and the stars, however,
make only three images, the number OF

in his rendition Of those songs which
appeal mostly to the heart Of the chill

to be expected this week that the matt
nee audiences are being made up
largely of women and children. After
singing his famous toy song, Mr.. Ellis
distributed toys among the children,
