In comparing thr production OF
Tonopah for the first eight months
that /, was actively worked hy the
leaser, with the early DAYS oi the

the Comstnck. II would mean Il diff
ference Of six million dollars in the
production OF the Tonopah mines,
making total Of twelve million dol
lars for the eight months, or nearly
million and a half per month.
When compared with this wonder
ful production Of Tonopah, other
great mining districts sink into in
significance The whole of Alaska
including the British klondike pro
duced eighteen million for the past
year, or one million and IA half per
month the same as Tonopah, Thou
sands of men and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars were invested in
Alaska, while in Tonopah only IA few
hundred men were employed, and
until the last few months the wind
lass was the only means of hosting,
The report of the reduction works
handling the ores from the great
Cripple Creek district shows total
value for the year 1901 of 81 ,3ll ,01O
not as much as Tonopah produced
in eight months, provided silver was
at its legitimate price
These wonderful mines Of Tonopah
sold last year for the small sum Of
$336, 600, which at that time most
people considered fair price, but
later developments showed their real
great value
in Nevada it has been the custom
for capital to demand IA value in sight
fully up to the amount that is paid
for the mine, and even then they
wanted two or three years time in
which to pay for it. But thanks to
Tonopah things are changing and
the Sagebrush State now has the
confidence of capital in the SAINT de
gree that other mining States have,
and she certainly deserves it.
Throughout the State are nmncr-
Gus old mines that were supposedly
worked out. but now that modern
methods Of working have been in
stalled, are paying handsome divi-
deud> The Berlin mine was worked
out as a silver mine and laid idle for
years. until the right parties took
hold and thoroughly developed it. A
mill was built and to-day the prop
rrty Is paying a good profit, with ore
enough blocked out to keep the mill
running for couple of years at it,
capacity Of seventy tons per
day
Touopah has been the means of
infu,iEg new life into the mining in.
du>try Of Nevada. From every quar-
ter come reports of new finds Old
camps are being opened up with fine
prospects Reduction works are be
ing built. and our future looks bright
from every side The old Sagebrush
State, whose interests were BETRAYED
by her representatives. maIipned aud
abused from every quarter, deserted
by those who took millions from the
heart Of her mountains, even threat,
ened with extinction, will again
shower forth her treasure rs she did
in the dark days when the wealth
coming from her mines saved the
credit of the nation. The clouds are
passing and Nevada will soon shine
forth as one Of the brightest stars in

The Soldiers Best Guide.

Capt. A. T. Mahan, United States navy,
retired, the well known writer on naval
topics, made strong plea for the Bible
and its study at West Point recently,
the occasion being the presentation by
the American Tract society OF teachers
Bibles TO the graduating class. Captain
Mahan was the speaker OF the occasion.
He said: Nearing the close OF active life
in sister service, addressing men now
beginning, | speak somewhat as vet
eran to a recruit, OF the incentives, in
spin alton, and force which the Word OF
God supplies to personal action. Mas
tered in part it is helpful; truly mas
tered as have been your secular studies
and faithfully utilized, YOU will have the
fruits; God will not tail you. AS science
is verified by experience, so spiritual ex-
pelience wOrketh hope which does not
dlsappolut, and OF his personally testi-
ty as yielding increasing hope and light; ;
yours personally must be the effort if
you would have The experience.
The masculine, military side Of religion
as portrayed in the Bible is too often
overlooked because women are more re-
hgious than men. In It's precepts and
typical men Christianity finds in the
military calling its most vivid illustra-
ton and lervenL appeals. Christ came
not to send peace but a sword The
good men OF the Bible are line of heroes,
courageous in action, patient in cudur-
oh ~ q
gain but loss so that the ends of God
their general, of Christ their captain be
achieved. They loved not their lives unto
death. These traits are strong in Wo'
man, not because they are weaker, but
because they are more religious. The
roll of these heroes from Abraham, who
obcdicntly went forth from his father S
house not knowing whittier he went, to
Mckinley, who said, cit is Gods will,
can not be called here. AS the army
passes in review surrender, soldierly
obedience, is the mark upon all, even up
to the cross, the final symbol.
Self possession, thought for Others
courage to encounter, patience to endure
soldierIy qualities, surely masculine, too
though the male can claim no monopoly
OF them. Read the story OF the Cross IL
this light.
The essential character of the gooC
Christian and the good soldier have
much in common. They are more close
| ly allied than those OF any other calling
War realizes in an extreme form the con
flict OF all lite, and even in peace the de
cisive military virtues are essentially the
principal Christian virtues. Suffer ther
no man to desplse in your person the ont
profession or the other. Remember, too
that whatever hope may lie IN arbltra
ton, of minimizing the recurrence 0
the material sutferings attending upol
war, always, as Sherman said, the stronj
arm and the military lalthlutness Of tn
soldier underiie all the blessings of peace
Yours is the privilege to belong if yor
will to both armies; the more faithful
you serve the one, the more faithful
also you will serve the other.

the TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along your business-whole
and happy. They can do it and aCW do it.
Try them on. What for? Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion Of
it, clapa Benson's Porous Plaster squarelyon
the bad spot. They are the get-0ut-t0-m0rrop0
plasters-not the sort that go to sleep on
your skin like cat on cushion There
is comfort and speedy relief in the touch of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as a sheet Of ice does I'M
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretell
the weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Benson's Plasters; it is as
sure as the effect of hot breakfast in a
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug
gists, or we will prepay postage on any
number ordered i'll the United States on
receipt of 25c. each.

A Caucus of Pesslmists.

Five pessimsts were discovered at
table in a New Hampshire hotel The
other day.
They raked the old Ship of State fore
and aft.
They declared, with an emphasis that
brooked no contradiction that there
was more corruption and rottenness in
the United States than in all other coun'
tries combined,
They quoted an English Sir Somebody
as having reached this conclusion-and
they agreed with him.
They said that money was the ruling
power in business, in politics, in society,"
They were convinced that the affairs of
the nation were controlled by an ambi-
tious, selfish few.
They did not believe in anarchy, yet
darby limited that ere long the people
would have to take hand and dispose
OF the aforesaid few.
HGN WGlG SulC that Jul SONNA LlulNIL
would fail entirely and the country 60 to
the demniton bow.wows.
They were surprised that the United
States had lasted even so long as this
so much longer than Rome lasted after
she was stricken by corruption and rot
tenness.
These pessimists fairly turned the ma
tural light of the dining room into the
darkest shade OF blue with their lu9u
brious assertions and gnostications.
And yet the very town where these
pesslmists lived, moved and had being,
very generously supper ed an Industry"
which robs men OF their money, their
commonsense, their manhood and their
hopttulness, and breeds just such dark,
dismal views of life as those which we
have just accurately quoted.

What Hanna Prefers.

There seems to be no apparent reason
why the people of the United States shall
not accept Senator Hanna's repeated as,
sertions that he is not an aspirant for the
presidential nomination in 1904. There
are many republicans who recognize the
senator's strong common sense, his
magnificent executive ability and his gen
lral Capabilty for the exacting duties OF
v the position, and who would be glad to
see him in the field two years hence. But
all this is without Mr.. Hanna's consent,
and in fact, is contrary to his wishes.
There is no reason why Mr.. Hanna s
statements shall not be taken as abso-
lutyIy sincere. He never was a man who
said one thing and meant another 1t is
fact known very well to his intimate
friends that he never had any presidential
aspirations. Furthermore, he knows the
tremendous stain which the office I'M
poses upon its Incumbent, and is not d.
sirous Of risking his health and lie. He
is thoroughly i'll earnest in his effort to
arrive at some method of settling labor
disputes without strikes; and, shOulG he
succeed, he will regard it as prouier
triumph than to have filled the ch eff
mag,stracy. : Toledo (Ohio) Blade.

The death of Chief Judge Taft suggests
the fact that the year OF his birth, 1885,
furnished quite a number of men who
have sat on the supreme bench of Yer
mont. Following is the list; Judge Taft,

Powers, May %; Judge Rowell, June 8;
Judge Veazey, Dec. 5. Thus five of the

In Switzerland the men travel on foot
from SIX to twelve miles, and return
home in a single day-all for the privilege
OF vote. But the Swiss do not con-
slider voting privilege merely. 1t is a
solemn, patriotic duty, and the citizen is
fined who does not attend the meeting"
Here the quotation stops. This in
Switzerland. In America it's different.
Altogether too many men regard voting
as neither privilege nor a duty. And
because this is So it often happens that
election results are not satisfactory to
the people at large. 1t often happens
that Jobs are put up, and deals made
that have for their object the furtherlng
of somebody's private, selfish and un,
godly ambition, instead of the public
veal. The Swiss viewpoint of voting, if
adopted in this country, might work
some very desirable changes for the bet
ter. The solemn fact about many an
American citizens voting, is that he puts
precious little patriotism into it,
