ATROCIOUS MURDER.
An Old Wood Chopper Killed
and Burned Near Berlin,

Deputy Sheriff Shea of Berlin, Nye
county arrived in Austin, Sunday
evening with the news of the most
atrocious crime ever committed in
Nye county, If not in the state. The
victim was Philip Humbert. an inof-
fensive wood chopper, and robbery is
supposed to have been the motive for
the crime. The murdererS were dis
appointed, for the old man cash was
held by other people. The body was
horribly mutiated and afterwards
burned in the fire that DESTROYED bis
cabin When his body was found the
flesh was all burned off except that
near the waist, and on moving the
body one foot fell from the ankle.
The upper part Of the body was found
IN the fireplace as though it was
thrown there.
DR.. Mann examined the body but
found no wounds, but ON the back Of
the head near the top found a hole
caused from a bullet, The doctor re-
moved the top OF the skull and took
out the brain, and lodged near the
temple was the tell-tale bullet, which
proved that murder had been com.
mitted aud that the cabin had been
Tired to conceal the crime The old
man had been shot from behind, but
by whom?
The deceased was resident Of
Austin and vicinity for many years
and was good law-abiding citizen,
and that he was murdered for the
money he was supposed to have in his
possession is beyond question. There
IS not the slightest clew as to the per
petrator of the deed Austin Revile.

Tonopah and salt Lake Company
IssIIrs n Statement.

The annual meeting OF shareholders
If the Tonopah and Salt Lake Mining
company has been scheduled for Oc-
tober 18th That they may be made
conyersant with the operations of the
company since the launching Of it
three years ago the board Of directors,
through Secretary A. c. Ellis, Jr.,
has addressed q pamphlet, within the
nages of which is a concise history of
the property. 1t discloses a total
expenditure of the company by date
on its holding at Tonopah, New, of
s5g. O4O. -, with an Indebtedness at
this time of $29, 642 60. TO discharge
this an assessment has been levied,
but in the event treasury stock at
80 cents a share is subscribed for the
assessment viii be escinded.
Work ON the property has been
suspended the company not deeming
it advisable to incur further indebted
ness without means other than as
sessment to discharge it.
I'VE now have in the property and
on the dumps quite a large amount
Of good milling ore which will be
turned into money when the requisite
milling facilities are provided in the
camp for reducing the ores, says the
board, According to the report Of
our superintendent, we have about
1000 tons Of ore which can be made
available, which show averge ASSAYS
Of about $50 per ton This may be
either little too large or a little too
small but is as near an average value
Of the tonnage, which has been care
fully estimated, as can be obtained.
With proper reduction facilities this
tonnage should be converted into
money at a cost Of not exceeding
81 per ton, leaving a net value of
$40, 900 TO $500 to be derived
from the ores in sight in the mines
The properties are now undergoing
examination at the hands Of an ex-
pert mining engineer, while the re-
cent advances in the price Of silver,
says the company, has added not less
than $3.50 per ton to the value Of
ores now exposed at the mines. Salt

THE READING HABIT.
As Judged by Number Of Library
Books on Street Cars.


The street-car riding public of New
York has been having some nice
things said about it. The man who
said them is pretty well acquainted
with the street-car habits of every
large city in the United States, and
his verdict ought to be worth some
thing. you Gothamites may be
great on the push and pull and
hustle" he said, "but if the number
of library books seen In street cars
these days are any index to the public
taste, you also stack up pretty well in
tellectually. l never struck town
where so many street-car passengers
read library books. Even in the
rush hours, when it is all a personean
do to find space for his body, half the
people are bent on-mental expansion.
Library books stare you in the face,
jab you in the back, and bump your
elbows on the right and left. I have
never taken the trouble to find out
the kind of literature that there
abounds. but whatever the nature of
the books, the travelling libraries
thus displayed certainly do give New
York mighty cultured appearance"

1-IsANIrY INCREASING.
Among Young People Rapidly. Says
Prominent .Alienist.


Fast living has caused more cases
of mental weakness than anything
else, said Frederick Richardson, of
the Bedford insane asylum, of Bed
ford, H., to a Denver Times reporter.
Many distressing cases come I'M
der our care. I am inclined to be-
ieve that more young people are be-
coming insane every year. This is es-
pecially true of young men, and we
also have many young. women pa
tients. Of course there are any num-
Der of causes of insanity, but paresis
Is becoming very common. 1t seems
that young America cannot stand
success.
Drinking and the use of narcot-
les, principally opium, seems to be
the naturalresult of rapid rise, then
shattered health and insanity. The
stock exchange is contributing its
quota to the number of insane, and
people from every walk in life are
placed under our care. We have
learned that the normal life is most
conducive to the health of brain and
body. 1t Will not do to 60 to either
extreme. We have had to care for
the sheepherders, who for months at
a time did not see human face on
the prairies, and for millionaires
who saw too many faces in the mael-
strom of society.
Too much solitude causes melan-
cholia. A man broods. At first it
seems delight, but that which pri-
marily was only the spice of a misan-
thropic disposition turns into the
rawlings of a maniac.
we have a man at the sanitarium
now who was one of the brightest
lawyers in Chicago. Dissipation
weakened his intellect. He has sort
sort of delayed conception. For in
stance, if should ask him: DO you
want an apple?' he would reply es,
and in about half a minute he would
ask me if 1 offered him an apple He
don't seem to understand the import
of words when first spoken, but after
a slight delay catches on.
"But in many ways insanity in
creases persons cunning: Iremem-
Der young woman We had for several
months whose mind was unbalanced
by religion. She was the cleverest
person to escape from the place you
ever heard Of Twice she escaped in
mems clothes; she stole the key to
the door from the guard and in about
40 different ways she kept us busy go
ing after her. But, fortunately, we
never had to go very far She al
ways went to a church. fit was night
she knelt on the steps until overcome
by sleep. If the church was open she
would go inside and pray until we
discovered her. She never refused to
return, but came back peacefully as
lamb"
