Falch, of the west side, yesterday
picked up and drank from a bottle of
carbolic acid. The child's mother for
tunately saw the little fellow and i'm
m~ediately brought the lard bucket into
requisition.
The many friends of Jefferson Ray
nolds will regret to hear that he is
now confined to his home with a bad
cold and threatened illness. Nothing
serious his family state, yet in a con-
dition of health precluding him from
business duties. The Optic hopes he
may soon be out.

The LEAcHINc PLANT.

Work will commence on the Teco-
Tote teaching pIanu next week in ear
nest, should the weather continue
warm enough to Keep the ground in
good condition. ~+!uo
This informatior. comes straight
from the manager, oWho says things
will be pushed FROM n6w on, barring
inclement weather, And, by the way,
why is it that Las Vegas has taken so
little interest in this enterprise, which
when completed, will do more to de-
velop the contiguous country than all
the other industries combined. The
board of trade, barring one short
spasm, last year, has never eve SO
much as given a word of encourage
ment to mining in any form.
1t can be nothing but ennui that
causes this state of affairs. If the
beard is skeptical that the develop
lment is not slicient why not satisfy
itself in a thorough manner, rot TAX
! ing the advice of Jim crow mining
! experts who have an X to grind, but
| by spending enough money for sam
| ping, and looking into the processes
| which work the ore, to thoroughly
| ascertain what they are about. If it is
| found that all this mining talk has
I the shadow of merit, then pitch in
with the single idea of helping the
country, and boost the thing for all
there is in it. Two hundred dollars jul.
diciously expended by the board OF
trade would satisfy that body, an no
doubt be of lasting benefit to the city.
Call a meeting and do something.
