Mohave County miner., 1903-11-21

A big old fashioned gun, which has recently been found on the internal. ional lime, is general curiosity and one of the relics which the relic hun, ter would be very glad to get hold of. The old revolver is about eight inches long, having barrel that one can readily stick his middle finger into. The stock is rotted away and all that remains is the barrel and hammer. It is one of the old flint locks and one of the very earliest patterns. The date upon the barrel is obliterated but it seems to be made in the year l42O, which would be seventy-two years be- fore the landing of Colum bus and two hundred years before the landing of the May yhower-Douglas Dispatch.

Dunbar and Weedin's Dam Pleasant
 ries.

Editor Tom Weedin sat in his easy chair, lighting his pipe on his auburn hair. A halo shown over his face so fair, but his knees were out and his feet were bare. And he sang song both sad and sweet, while the flies died all around his feet, for he had no grub in his shop to eat, and the ground was all covered with sleet. Now, what in the world was the cuss to do? He had eaten the paste and swallowed the glue; he hadn't drink, he hadn't a chew. And the band played on.-John Dun- bar, in Arizona Cattlemau.
 The above, ween, is pipe dream stuf1, from brain that was addled by Maxwell gulf, or the song of man we long have known who was filled to the neck with the swe ct "ozone" that seems to exude from the Fowler clothes and find it's way to the Dunbar nose. But alas, alack the time will come when there'll be dirth of ozone and a dearth of rum; then John will fly to the Ton to's brink, with his coppers on fire and a thirst for drink. But no water he'll find in the bed of the stream, but only dry sand with it's shim mering gleam. Then Johnny will faint and turn up his toes, like the withered stem of an unwatered rose. "And the band will play on" in the funeral train, on its march to grave in waterless plain, to plant the dry bones of thirst killed man, who pinned his fool faith to waterless dam. Then the band will quit or strike for more "ozone."- Tom Weedin, in Florence Blade.

FRENCH BOUNTY
EARNING VESSELS

Editor Advertiser: The coming of
several of the the so-called French
bounty earners to this port during the
past few months has caused much talk
in shipping circles regarding the ina
bility of American and English ships
to compete in foreign trade with these
subsidized vessels, and as agent of
these vessels l have often been asked to
explain just what advantage they had
over ships of other nationalities.
In order to foster and encourage the
upbuilding Of a large merchant ma
rine the French Chamber of Deputies,
during the session of 1899, passed a
bill the provisions of which granted a
subsidy to all ships built in French
ship yards for French owners during
the years 1900, 1901, 1902. The sub
sidy is to be paid over a period of ten
years, dating from 1900, and is calcu-
lated on the following basis:
The first year II francs, or, roughly,
in American money, "a cents. per gross
ton register Is paid for each 1000 miles
sailed from port TO port, distance
measured by great circle route. Each
succeeding year the subsidy is decreas-
ed .06 francs; that Is to say, the second
year the ship would be paid 1913 cents
per gross ton register for each 1000
miles covered,
Owing 10 the fact that the subsidy
is paid on the gross tonnage, II Is the
endeayor OF the builders to furnish the
ships with all possible superstructure,
which does not carry freight but does
earn subsidy, An instance OF this was
seen on the ship champigny, lately In
this port, The net registered tonnage
of this ship was 2,itb tons, while the
gross measured $3.50 tons, II might
here be stated that an American or
English ship measuring a,tib tons net,
would not ordinarily gross more than
100 tons, Thus, II will be seen that
the builders added ON space above
decks which measures about 100 tons
Tor the purpose ~ increasing the
bounty earning capacity,
