Do women initiate mems fashions,
or do men appropriate the ideas of the
fair sex? Our opinion is that in the
vast majority of cases it is the women
who copy the men. For some time
past the Englishman's ideal of style in
clothing has been the easy-fltting
waists and the emphasizing of height.
Ladies have now adopted the same

Volcanoes Letter.
SILVER PEAK. April 2S.

ED. BULLETIN Everything is quiet
in this place, so quiet that two men
make a crowd. The men from the
outside-Tonopah and elsewhere
are opening up mines all around US,
and the prospects are very encourag-
ing. At the Palmetto mines they
working in earnest, and before June
they will be mines.
Work on the mines southwest of
US for amberger is showing up well.
The Tokop group beyond Aida
valley has produced some fine ore
and will probably be bought by the
Tonopah Company.
The Blair property is still being
prospected. A force of men is at
work extracting fine ore from the
Mary mine for reduction at the mill
here.
MacNamara made q trade with
some old indians who used to raise
spuds and other vegetables near the
mines which Lynch & O'Meara are
operating, and some of the old timers
are kicking. They seem to think
man making a treaty ought to have
dozen Interpreters at fat salary
to fix things up "allee same Merican
govment."
The prospectors coming in here
now look like Pawnee Indians in war
paint. The late rains have wet their
blankets enough to take the color out
OF them and ornament their faces in
way that would make q poster art
list have fit. One fellow had a bunch
of sunflowers printed on the side of
his jaw, and the design ran up over
his hair to the top of his head. An
other had a pattern made up of four
inch squares. AS two of the squares
joined the corners of his mouth, it
made him look like a catfish. A
young veteran of the Philippines
had patriotic looking quilt and he
got rough print of the star span
gled banner on his neck and ear,
with the capitol at Washington in
the middle of his face. The dome
was just above his eyes. The rest
of the band have blue noses, green
ears and hands of all colors.
The rabbit plague still continues in
Fish Lake valley. A Belgian hare
gave birth to 20 young a few days
ago. | understand they have turned
them loose in Ovens valley. If it is
true they will have harder fight
than Australia has with the English
hare. The scientists who brought
the carp, " the great German food
fish, and let the Belgian hare come,
ought to import the plague from In
dia and China and reduce the popu-
lation or reduce the rabbits It's a
a question now between rabbits, carp
and humans. May the best man win.
1t may be survival of the fishes.
