Great Future for
Nevada.

The report of a rich strike has just
come out OF the Tonopah mining dis.
trict, Nevada This camp attracted
much attention last year because of the
richness of the ore extracted from the
outcroppings Of the Mizpah vein by the
tributers who worked the property I'M
der leases. which expired at midnight,
December 81. This vein has been ex-
plored for distance of about 1900 feet
to a depth,in some places, of 300 feet
in all OF which the ore was bigh grade.
Parallel VEINS carrying lower grade ores
were also partly explored last year.
1t is estimated that at least $7,000.000
in gold and silver was extracted from
these veins when they surrendered their
leases. The new discovery is, however,
reported to have been made in wild
goose" location, that is, in territory which
gave no surface evidence OF mineraliza-
ton, the formation in sight being moth
ing more than a barren wash lava. Its
exploration seemed to be the ranhest
kind of speculative risk.
But the adventurous miners who un-
dertook the task have been unexpectedly
lucky. The shaft which they sunk
pierced the everything alluvium to a
depth OF 2i0 feet, where it entered a
rich lead in the permanent formation.
This can fairly be called fools luck. y
The estimates of wealth contained in
the district based upon this new dis
coyery are extraordinarily high, and may
or may not be realized Time alone will
Determine. There is nothing in the dis
covery, however, which should excite
any one unduly, for the whole OF the
Tonopah district and miles OF the ada.
cent territory are covered by mining 10
cations and any ore entering the field
must be content with virgin ground re-
mote from the scene OF actual mining
activity.
The discovery OF the Tonopah deposits
has strengthened the opinion that con-
tinuously mineralized belt extends along
the western side OF Nevada from Mount
Davidson to the neighborhood Of Mount
Whitney in this State. The Comstoclk
lode is assumed by the theorists hol ing
this opinion to be merely blossom of
the mineralizatio and the Tonopah
veins another outeropping blossom of
the same character. Another rich out
cropping OF the same mineralized belt is
supposed to appear in the high Sierra in
MADEIRA county, ut the southern end OF
the Yosemite forest reserve, where sew
eral mineral locations have been held
for many years past on enormous argen-
tiferons ore bodies which have been ex.
posed by the erosion Of the deep Sierran
canyons in that neighborhood.
The theory that the Tonopah and Ma
dera county deposits are continuation
of the Colustock lode is based on the
course of the veins, the similarity Of the
formation in which they lie, and the
OF the ore they carry. BE this
as it nay, great virgin field of mineral
lied territory in Western Nevada and
the eastern part of this State is inviting
capital to explore it. But the chief value
of the Tonopah discoveries is contained
in the evidence that Nevada is only be
ginling to be fairly appreciated as Il
mining field.

Whooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says; Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our
baby boy being only three months old,
and owing to our giving them Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, they lost
none of heirplumpness and came out
in much better health than other
children whose parents did not use
this remedy. Our oldest little girl
would call Justify for cough syrup be-
tween whoops-Jessie Pinkey Hall

sale by all druggists and dealers in

NO POUND WEIGHTS IN TROY.
The Measure Exists Only in the
School Books and Not In the
Jewelers' Shops.

did it ever occur to you," said a
college professor to Chicago gold
smith, chat you have no such thing
as pound weight?"
It had; but the professor is willing
to bet that not one graduate OF a
high school out of twenty has an idea
that there is not metal weight of IL
ounces to represent the Troy pound.
But there is no such thing. Twelve
Troy ounces make a pound, but there
is no such material unit of measure
ment There are the grain. the scru'
pie, the drachm, and the ounce weights.
but nothing more. The man who has
ten pounds of gold in reality has only
>12O ounces, and for him to go into
the gold market and speak of gold as
by the pound would be for him to be
laughed at.
incidentally these units of measure
ment in the Troy scale look good
deal more like Greek or Chinese coins
than they look like weights, says the
Chicago Tribune. For the average
high school graduate to pick up set
of these weights would be to bewilder
him.
1t is the contemplation of such abb
surdities of the English tables of
weights and measurements that bring
the student to the metric system. as
the sane solution of it all.

A QUEER FRIENDSHIP.
Play All Sorts Of Franks with
Each Other.

There is large Newfoundland dog
and a crow in Ridley park, Chester,
Pa, that are on speaking terms with
each other. The crows name is Jim,
and the dog, handsome animal, IL
Rover. Both are owned by Julius c.
Smith, head landscape gardener for
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
When Mr.. Smith first took the bird
home, the crow espied Rover, and
flew from its new masters hand and
lit on the dogs back. At once there
seemed to be mutual understanding
between dog and bird, the former
.sbow-wowing" in aftectionate man
ner, and the latter "caw-cawing" and
returning the caresses Of its new
friend by stroking Rover's back with
its beak.
Jim and Rover seem to thoroughly
understand each other, and are gem
orally found together. They fire.
quently play hide-and-seek. Jim will
"caw-caw," then fly to distant tree.
Rover follows, generally locating the
tree where the bird is hidden. The
dog will sit and look up at the tree
until Jim flies down from amid the
leafy branches. The crow lights on
the dogs back and in this manner
thew return to their masters homo
very easily.

MANY PEOPLE ACCEPT TIPS.
Restaurant That Receives
Little ..Rem entrances"

IAN l." said the waiter, 1.-THE only
man who takes tips? No, not at all.
"You, for instance, tell your tobac-
conist that in a few days Smith, the
millionaire, will be in to see him
that Smith was looking for a good
dealer, and you recommended him to
go there. Well, Smith goes there and
leaves a heavy order. Hence you are
not surprised when you receive little
later a box of fine cigars, with your
tobacconist's compliments but if
those cigars are not tip, what are
they?
Brown is buyer for a big manu-
factory. The firm he patronizes is
sending him every week or two boxes
of toilet soaps, cases of perfumery,
dozens of golf balls, and barrels of
clans. Those are Browns tips-the
gratuities he gets for his patronage.
Robinson sends rich friend to his
tailor with a note of introduction, and
the rich friend buys four suits. Isn't
Robinson being tipped when the tailor,
the week following, makes him q
present of a set of English f1annels?'
The waiter made a disdainful ges-
ture, says the Philadelphia Record, and
ejaculated:
"Pish! Tipping, they say, is un-
American, and waiter of proper
pride and independence would scorn
to accept a quarter or half in re-
turn for the serving of meal. But
l say that tipping runs clean through
our social system, from top to bot
tom, and all of US, excepting only the
elevator man, are taking tips of one
sort or another all our lives"

the Christian era, excepting among
the Egyptians, Chinese and Hebrews,
and recent statistics show that there
is a constant and growing tendency
to return to the custom.
The disposition of the human dead
by incarceration has been meeting
with more and more favor, that has in
no wise been retarded since the first
cremation society was formed in Lon
don in 1874. That same year crema-
tory was erected in Milan and two
years afterward one was built in
Lodi, Italy. In two years more there
was one in Gotha, Germany, and aft
erward they began to appear in all
lands.
The first one in this country was
erected in Washington, Pa, in 1883,
and the one in Fresh Pond, L. l., came
two years afterward. In this latter
eight bodies were cremated the first
year and 76 in the second year. In 1900
the total has passed the 600 mark, and
during last year il reached 654.
There are now &c crematories in the
United States. In the year that New
ierk's first crsmatory was opened
only ~ bodies were cremased in the
entire country. While lat year the
numbcr was 2.et5.

the men voters have dropped from &c..
5S7 to 30,4s4. reduction of nearly 1e
per cent. Women voters in the same
district have slightly increased their
numbers, and now count no less than
32.sO1. The women seem to be grow.
ing more conscientious in the fulfill.
ment of their political duties and the
men more careless.
When equal suffrage was granted in
New Zealand the estimated number Of
adult women in the country was 1885,.
915. OF these, 109,461 registered to
vote. OF the women who registered,
SO per cent. voted; of the men who reg
istered, only 81 per cent.
According to the report of the
Wyoming secretary of state, 80 per
cent. of the women vote. In Denver,
at the election last November, 81, $50
men voted and 23.449 women.

OBEYED HIS DARLING.
Little Girl,s Words Affected Her ~
TIERS Mind So vitality That He
Changed His Life.

my darling" These were the
words New York newspaper report
er saw in the unlikeliest place inn
aginable-on the dashboard of huge
Broadway truck. The truck was
caught in dense blockade, but the
driver sat patiently waiting, while
truckmen all about him were swear
ing or abusing their horses.
Eyes, mister" said the driver, in
reply TO the reporters question, II
painted those words up there myself.
I wanted to have them where I could
see them all the time, to remind me
of my promise to my little girl when
she was dying. Father she said,
I'm going to die, and l want you to
promise me one thing, because it will
make me so happy Yes said I,
with the tears running down my
cheeks, I'll promise Then she
looked me in the eyes so sweet, and
said: %, father, don't be angry, but
promise me you'll never swear any
more, nor whip your horses That's
all there is about it, mister; and I've
just put those words up here to re-
mind me of my little girl when I'm
tempted"
The young reporter passed on, with
q mist in his eyes. He wrote the
story out for his paper, just as it was
told him, and thousands of hearts
were touched and helped.
