I'a,,list Father.

Father Handlcy'S talk ON south
ern Life and Sentiment at Miners
Exchange Hall last Sunday evening
was well attended and was thor
oughly appreciated by all present,
especially those from the sunny
south The father gave a number
of stories and anecdotes illustrative
of negro life and character which in
these days is far different from their
ways of even twenty-five years ago.
The children present were treated
to Uncle Remus story of 'Brer Rab-
bit and De Tar Baby which they
will never forget, judging from their
expressive peals of laughter
Father Handley paid an eloquent
tribute to those who struggled for
the lost cause during the four years
of the civil war and said that their
great sef-sacrifice and devotion was
not expressed in words but in the
devastated fields, the ruined homes
and the silent grief and poverty that
for years afterward reigned in the
south.
A number of old time southern
songs were given at intervals during
the evening by the following ladies ;
Mrs. McVeagh, Mrs. Court, Misses
Evelyn Roach, Lizzie Pepper, Elsie
Scheneman and Gladys Ritter, ac-
companied by Miss NJ Hicks and j.
NJ. Smith
At the conclusion of the evening S
entertainment Fa Their Handley
thanked the people of Tonopah for
their kind hospitality to himself and
Father Wyman and warmly invited
any of Tonopah's citizens to visit
them at the Paulist Home when in
San Francisco, and also expressed
his gratitude to the newspapers of
Tonopah for their kindness and cour-
tesy during the Paulist Mission here.

The New York supreme court of
appeals has just decided that the
provisions of a penal code adopted in
1897, providing that "any person or
corporation Who contracting with
the state or municipal corporation,
shall require more than eight hours
work for days labor \ is
guilty of a misdemeanor," is uncon-
stitutional and void on the ground
that it is not valid exercise of the
police power vested in the legisla-
ture, because it has no possible bear
ing ION the health or security of the
employees or on public health and
because it makes an arbitrary dis

THE TON0PAH-
PRINCESS MAUDE
Development Of Shipping Ore in Lone
Mountain Group.

The incline shaft on the central
claim on main ledge in the Princess
Maude company property, on the
eastern slope of Lone Mountain, has
been extended forty-tive feet. The
ledge is full seven feet in width, al
though at thirty feet ten foot bouI-
der of falen-in country rock or
'horse" was encountered. Cutting
through this the ledge opens out ID
place. On the foot-wall there is
eighteen inches of solid ore, of a car
Donate and brittle silver character
apparently changing to sulphides.
Certificate of assays are quoted as
follows: Gold, APO ounces, S84 90;
silver, 800 ounces, 1856 20, together
with percentage of lead worth at
current rates $12 25-a total re-
turn of $3525O per ton. When
the upper or hanging wall may be
exposed at the present or greater
depth a known stratum will be
opened of equal width and grade of
hard ore. So far as opened the
showing now is second to nothing in
the district, with the possible eXcep-
ton of the Lynch & OMeara main
property. The Princess Maude is
more favorably situated for ship
ments, being nearer to present
roads, but it is very probable that
the company will do nothing toward
extracting more ore than necessary
in course of opening until the ad-
vent of a railroad or local smelling
works or both. Lone Mountain, as
everyone knows, is well wooded and
abundance of water can be developed
at many places all around it. The
property is open to the free inspec-
ton of mining men. The principal
ledge shows well along the surface,
is certainly very strong one and is
incased in the most favorably known
formation for the variety and class
of ore exposed. An examination of
samples and specimens brought in
by Manager Hale will confirm all
this, to the satisfaction of mining
men who have operated silver lead
mines.

Many men who have made a sue
cess of commercial business seem not
to understand that mining is not as
simple as it seems, thinking that it
requires neither scientific technical
knowledge, nor years of experience
to insure success. 1t is true that
there are numerous instances where
business men have successfully con-
Quoted mining enterprises who had
no previous knowledge or expert
ence in mining, but in almost every
case the mine has been rich and
would have paid with any sort of
management, and therefore no par
ticular credit is due to the success
of the inexperienced management.
There is an aphorism among miners;
Good mines make good miners,
and this is true in most cases.
Where a poor, low-grade mine is
carefully handled at the lowest pos
sible expense, by careful and eX-
perienced man, and still fails to pay,
the unfortunate "super' gets few
thanks and small credit for his effort.

to give her a little liberty about the

est form of philosophy ic has been said.
and truly said. CiViliza ton is the re-
suit of the strife of man to reach the
ideal proclaimed by poets. Hugo saws
Shakespeare stood listening above the
earth and hell and wrote what he heard
in both. And so does every true poet.
The mystery of life cannot be solved.
The soul frets in it's prison and beats
its wings against the bars, but it can
not step outside itself. 1t cries in help
less madness. and it cries in vain.
These cries are poetry. not rhyme. For
every soul with love in it so cries, and
true poetry touches in it a responsive
chord.
And true poetry analyses the mys-
teries Of the universe. Man and Nature
are closely akin. The mountain stand
ing distant in the blue haze is not
poetry. But the emotion in the human
heart at sight of it is poetry Nor is
the same mountain turned to gold and
crimson by the setting sun, poetry But
the noble aspirations born in the soul
by the glory Of it is poetry The mole
star set forever in the northern Sky is
not poetry. But the thoughts we have
of constancy and duty when we see it
burn there age on age rise into poetry
The martyr dying on a scaffold for the
right is but stern and cruel reality But
the noble sentiment generated in men
as they contemplate the sacrifice is
poetry and the ideal for which he gave
his life becomes liberty for the genera
lions which follow him. And so we
might journey through the universe
saying the same. These things are
true of meadows girt with woodland.
or s-carpeted prairies declxed with
wild flowers, or bleak plains whitened
with wastes of snow. The poor mother
in squalor and misery bends over the
babe dying of want-the scene is not
poetry but the hidden fountains of the
human heart are broken up and well
into poetry because of it.
