Is it True :?

We take the following from the
Salt Lake Tribune: The examina-
tion of the Silver Peak mines made
by Geo. z. Edwards resulting favor
ably, the title to that property will
land in the embrace of a Salt Lake
crowd, at the head of which is Hon.
John Dern. While particulars of the
deal could not be verified through the
principals, it is said that in the ac-
QUESTION of the property the pur
chasers are required to dip into their
pockets for $750.000. The vendor is
the great Blair estate of New York.
A report on the property recently
exhibited at Tonopah indicates the
presence of one million dollars worth
of ore, and while several crowds have
tried to buy it, their efforts thus far
have been unsuccessful. The result
of the examination will be awaited
with much interest.

The sale of the Douglass Company
mines in Silver Star District. is an
nounced by the Tonopah papers. In
quiry among interested parties here
fails to confirm the report, and the
county records do not show that any
transfer has yet been made. Silver
Star is one of the most inviting fields
in Nevada for the mine investor. It
is but eight miles from the railroad,
and the natural facilities for mining
and milling its free gold ores are UNI
surpassed.

Now it's GoIdfield,

Reports from Goldfeld, in the
southern part of this county, still
continue to be most encouraging, and
If half we hear is true it bids fair to
become a close rival to Tonopah.
There are many big lodges, and the
ore is said to average 800 per ton in
gold.
Several transfers of mining prop
erty are reported on the streets, but
so far the only transaction recorded
is that of a bond given by Harry
Ramsey and partners to L. L. Pat
rick. The mines bonded are known
as the Combination groupe, compris-
ing ten claims, The price is s75, 900,
of which $1,000 was paid down. An
other payment of So 800 will be made
next Thursday. March 25th, 1904,
$40, 900 is to be paid in June, 1904,
$22, 800 will be due, and in October,
1904, s25, 900 must be paid
There are about 300 men in the
camp. Four saloons, where all kin is
of gambling is carried on, are open
night and day. Accommodations for
man aud beast are fairly good. A
stage runs to and from Tonopah at
regular intervals.
The deepest shaft is only 40 feet,
but the showing is better as depth is
attained.
Comparatively few men are en-
ployed as yet, and there are many
miners looking for work.

Airship Possibilities.

NJ. Santos Dumont has informed the
correspondent of an American news
paper that Paris will soon see the
first of the union air depots, and
then we will have races" In u very
long interview the talented Brazilian
inventor does not sound a single UNI
certain note and he is going ahead
with the construction of machines
that will carry passengers and prepar-
ing for the commercial phase of the
invention. He affirms that the acct
dent at Monte Carlo is attributable
to the inefficient landing facilities and
he declares that Il properly equipped
starting point is as essential to the
success of ship flying as any part of
the ship itself The correspondent
voices his impressions i'm this para
graph:
The thing is bound to come. and
there is every indication that it will
be with us in the coming summer sea
son. There is not lack of air ship e&-
perimenters in Paris, though they be-
long I o two great classes-those who
have constructed already full sized
air ships and those whose plans are
as the small model stage. These are
more numerous, and there are those
to whom the air ship depots will offer
the most advantages. Nevertheless
it is likely that the more advanced
experiments will be the first to profit
by them
Dumont is not the only inventor
working with success in Paris. as the
correspondent informs us. At the pre-
sent time there are more than do
zen full sized and thoroughly equip
ped air ships ready to mount in the air

Passing of the Bike.

The Inter Ocean says the bicycle is
passing.
There were 800 bicycle factories in
the United States in 1895. They pro-
duced annually 100000 machines.
These machines cost the users $780,
100000 each year, and the supply was
not equal to the demand.
Nearly 100000 bicycles were manu-
featured in 1896. but the price declined
40 per cent in the next two or three
years and the supply was in excess of
the demand
an 1898 the membership of the
League of American Wheelmen was
100000; it is now $500. In 1898 there
were in the United States so news
papers devoted to cycling; now there
is only one.
Five years ago our boulevardS and
parllways were crowded with bicycle
riders; last summer there were com
paratively few on streets or boule-
wards. Five years ago to be fashion
able was to ride Il wheel; last sum
mer TO ride wheel was to be un-
fashionable.
The bicycle has fallen from its high
popularity. Wheeling has ceased to
be a hobby. and ranks simply as or
binary recreation. Most of the CAPT
tai invested in bicycle factories has
been turned into other channels. The
sales of wheels are not one-twentieth
as large as in 1898 and the member
ship of the league has declined in the
same proportion.
There were twenty bicycle stores in
Chicago in 1898 where there is one
now. OF the many bicycle clubs in
1898 only one maintains its organiZa-
ton now. The local sales of wheels
declined 90 per cent in five years.
No other reactionary movement in
American trade is so sweeping and
striking rs this passing of the bicycle.

The Manufacturing West.

n transformation in the develop
ment of the west little realized by
the nation at large. yet of important
bearing is taking place. The agricul-
tural era, which succeeded that of the
ranch and hunting ground, is giving
way to a period in which manufacture
ing plays noteworthy part. The
prosperity of the past half decade has
brought about an attempt to rival the
older states in the processes of crafts
manship. The westerner has travelled
back east" and has seen in nearly
every little town a factory; he has
seen the surplus labor employed in
making things-and he has gone
home and sought to establish an in
dustry or some sort in his own town.
He has succeeded better than is COM
monty supposed.
The recent census shows that in
what may be called western" states
there are 225.2S7 manufacturing es-
adjustments, with an aggregate CAPT
tai of S.. 447 .5S7 ,249. and an annual
product of $5,252. 81 .029. In New En-
gland, the home of the manufacture
ing industry, there were only about
one-fourth as many establishments as
in the west. less than half the capital
invested, and an annual product of
only two-sfths that of the west.--The
Independent.

1T is said that James J. Hill had
made up his mind that st. Paul should
be the center of the rice trade in this
country. Mr.. Hill is now building two
ships to carry rice from Japan to
America. They are 10 be twice as
large as any other vessels afioat on the
Pacific ocean today. Each will be able
to carry 100000 bushels of wheat or
100000 barrels of -four in one trip.
If each of these vessels can take 900.-
900 bushels of wheat to Japan on one
trip, il can also bring back to this
country on one trip 100000 bushels of
rice. This means that 1000 carloads
of rice will arrive in St. Paul each
month.

Many of the publications issued
from the government printing Office
are no doubt valuable. but hundreds
of tons of the public documents print
ed at the governments expense and
transported in the mails free are
practically worthless, for not one per
son in a thousand ever reads them.
Tons of worthless free seeds" are
also sent over the country by mail
free. Now. if the government discard

fakes from the mails. it would not
only relieve the mail service of an I'M
necessary burden. but be long step

The latest Partisan development of
ping pong consists in substituting for
the bali light feather made of COLO
dion, and for the racquets rods or
wands electrified by friction. The
feather is first thrown into the air be-
tween the two players, where it tenn
porarily remains by virtue of its light
ness. The game consists in driving it
backwards and forwards, not by force
as in ping pong. but by the repellent
action of the wands, which are pre-
viously electrified for the purpose by
an energetic rubbing.

Prof. Jordan says that the only re-
sponsibility that man cannot evade
in this life is the one he thinks of
least-his personal influence. Mans
conscious influence. when he is on
dress parade. when he is posing to inn
press those around him. is wofully
small. But his unconscious influence,
the silent. subtle radiation of his per-
sonality. the effect of his words and
acts. the trifies he never considers, is
tremendous. Every moment of life
he is changing to degree the life OF
those about him. Every man has an
atmosphere which is affecting every
other. So silently and unconsciously
