An Advertising Moral.

Once upon a time a donkey fell into a
deep hole, and after nearly starving,
caught sight of a passing fox, and i'm
plored the stranger to putt him out.
II am too small to aid YOU said the
fox. But l will give you some advice.
Only a few rods away is a big, strong
elephant. Call to him and he will get
YOU out in a jiffy."
After the fox had gone the donkey thus
reasoned; IT am very weak from van
Of nourishment. Every move is just so
niue Traditional los sof strength. If /
raise my voice to call the elephant l shall
be weaker yet. No, | will not waste my
substance that way. It is the duty of the
elephant to come without calling"
So the donkey settled himself back, and
eventually starved to death.
Long afterwards the fox. on passing the
hole. saw a whitened skeleton and re-
marked:
IF 1t be that the souls of animals are
transmigrated into men, that donkey will
become one of those merchants who can
never afford to advertise"

B~oilermakers May Strike.

A report comes from San Francisco to
the effect that the boilermakers of the
Southern Pacific company have demanded
an increase of wages. They seek an in
crease from IS cents an hour to 40 cents.
and time and a half for overtime on the
basis of 40 cents an hour They also want
certain regulations as to the number of
apprentices and the number of hours
for a days work. A committee of the
men has been in session in San Fran
answer from Messrs. Kruttschnitt, Agler
and Small. The latter official is their
immediate superior. Agler is the man
ager of the lines west of FL Paso and
Ogden. Kruttschnitt is the assistant of
President Hartman and the superior
of Agler. Assistant Kruttschnitt has just
returned from a conference with Harri-
man in New York. 1t is said that Krutt-
schnit and Hartman are disinclined To
grant the increase on the ground that
the Southern Pacific is paying to boiler
makers as good wages as any Eastern
road. The boilermakers. machinists and
other mechanics of the Union Pacific are
now out on a strike against that Harri-
man road. The boilermaker of the
Southern Pacific, however, seem to have
no trouble with the company and appear
to be disinclined just now to take part
In any fight with the other mechanics
OF the Southern and Union Pacific roads.
If the Southern Pacific becomes involved
with its boilermakers and other mechan-
les, as is the Union Pacific, there is no
telling how severe may be the freight
and passenger tie-up.

Van Duzer In Virginia City.
Chronicle says:

The Virginia Chronicle y
Van Duzer's experience on the Conn
stock may be summed up like that of
the Roman conqueror of old-he came, he
saw. he conquered. Within five minutes
efter he faced his audience last night. he
had them with him, heart and soul, held
them with a spell so deep that for long
intervals they were too interested to
even applaud. and when they did vent
their approval 1t was with an emphasis
that was unm~istakable--it came straight
from the heart. Long after the meeting
dispersed his splendid performance was
spoken of by knots OF people who fingered
talk II over and the consensus of opinion
was that Van Duzer ought to and will
carry Storey county by one of the largest
majorities on the ticket.

The labor unions of Reno nave engaged

The North Star Tunnel Company of
Tonopah, the property in which many
Carsonites are financially interested, has
purchased two or three adjoining claims.
A miners union has been formed at
edekind City. Over forty miners have
signed the roll. They are employed in the
Weoekind and Desert King mines and the
Sparks mill.
This is the first time in several years
that the entire list of Comstock shares
has dropped below the dollar mark, CAL
edonia at 81 being the highest quotation
on today's lists. That there will be a
revival in prices before the close of the
current year is the general opinion of OPP
erators.-Virginia Report.
Jake johnson, Sheriff, started out with

Constable Golding of Wadsworth has
leased the mill of the Wadsworth Mining
and Milling Company in Olinghouse gulch
for a term of years. Mr.. Golding and his
associates are owners of valuable prop
critics in that district and have secured
control of a number of dumps of what
as believed waste rock, but has proven
to carry sufficient values to pay for
crushing. The quantity of material son
hand is amply sufficient to keep the mill
running steadily for several years. This
mill was constructed to work the ores
of the Cabin No. 2 mine, and the owners
of that property have arranged with Mr..
Golding to crush their ore as rapidly as
* is extracted. This deal adds to the
prospective prosperity of O~linghouse
Gulch. A cyanide plant will probably be
built as an annex to the mill.-Reno Jour

Crooked Wall Service.

j. L. Driscoll, a Postoffice inspector for
Nevada, paid Eureka a visit this week,

this time was to obtain Information in
regard to a registered letter that was

mond mine from Prospect to Attorney
harrington at Elko. The letter contained
the papers in the suit of Charles Lauten-
schlager against the Diamond Mining
Company, and the package left Prospect
on May s. 1t was received in the Eureka
office and sent on to Palisade on May 8.
1t is now over five months since the let
ter left the Eureka postoffice, and up to

THE LAKE CUTOFF.
Work East Of Promontory Point viii Be Fin
ished In Few Weeks.

Within the next three weeks the Og-
den-Lucin cutoff will be completed to
the east side of Promontory point and
by that time the temporary road around
the point will be completed by the con-
tractors, Corey Bros. e Alden, in time
so that the work can be prosecuted con-
.~tinuously. Only two pile drivers are now
at work closing up the gaps In the piles
across the lake and the remainder of the
pile drivers are to be towed around the
work of driving the piles from the west
shore of the Promontory to the west side
of the lake. These pile drivers nave aver
age 60 feet a day each, although some
% them have driven piles for a distance
OF rs feet in one day. These piles are
being surmounted by heavy timbers of
Oregon pine and ties of the same kind,
the redwood ties generally used by the
Southern Pacific not being obtainable.
The track-laying is progressing rapidly
but has been somewhat delayed by the
gaps left between the sections assigned
to each pile driver, but as these are be-
ing rapidly closed up the work of track
laying will be pushed almost continuously
The pile drivers are to be towed round
the point to teh west side by the great
steamer "~Promontory."
The piles nave been driven within a
quarter of a mile of the east shore of
the Promontory and the water is so shall
low at that point that Corey Bros. e.
Alden were able to send supplies and
materials to the pile-driver at work at
that end by team driven into the lake.
The piles extend above the surface of
the lax abou IL feet and when sur
mounted by the heavy timbers, ties and
S0-pound rails the track is raised so as
to join with that on ~Promontory grade
which is IA feet above the surface of the
lake. From the present end of the piles
a film will be made to Promontory
point, the earth used being the disinte-
grated shale scooped by the gigantic
steam shovels from Little Mountain and
taken across the trestle work to be dump
ed in the lake, completing connections
with the point.
