Fit Of Dizziness.

Some uneasiness was caused this
morning owing to the pope's being at
tackled by feeling of dizziness, be-
lieved to have been the result of ce-
rebral weakness. At noon his condi-
tion became slightly worse. Dizziness
from which the pope suffered was a
kind of mental confusion during which
he seemed to lose consciousness of his
surroundings while he believed he saw
g vision.

ConCerning Copper Ores.

In speaking of copper ores the
terms "carbonates" and "oxides"
are often used Interchangeable,
which is erroneous, although
both are oxidized ores. The car
donates, comprising the mala-
chites and azurites, have resulted
from oxidation and teaching in
contact with lime carbonates.
The black oxides. red oxides and
silicates of copper, while oxidized
ores, are in no sense carbonates.
The oxides result from the decom-
position of some of the sulphides.
The silicate of copper, or chry-
socolla, is the result of a secon-
Diary deposition. The copper
ores which exist in combination
with sulphur consists of copper
glance, running n 2 per cent
copper and 21 6 percent sulphur;
gray copper, composed of 1856
per cent copper and 26,3 per cent
sulphur; chalcopyrite, having
34.6 per cent copper, 34.9 per
cent sulphur and 80 per cent
iron; and bornite, which con-
tains 1913 per cent copper 21.2
per cent sulphur The highest
grade copper ore is the cuprite,
or red oxide. containing about
8S.7S per cent copper. Native
copper is often found in associa-
ton with various other copper
ores. the product of the mines OF
the Lake Superior region being
largely in metallic sta.e-Mining

OSTRICH LOGIC.

wWhen l can't see danger there is no
danger" That's the logic of the ostrich
which hides its head and exposes its
body to the hunter. There are not a
few people who seem to have gone to
the ostrich to learn logic. The most
dangerous enemies of humanity are the
enemies which can't be seen, the disease
breeding microbes which infect the
blood. 1t is harder to get the microbe
out of the blood than to keep it out, but

dangerous to health, life and
limb, and where it is not at all
dangerous. Why put the men
occupying both places at the
same number of hours labor?
If the number of hours labor
can be regulated by the Legis-
lature, why cannot the Legisla-
ture regulate the number of
strokes per minute that may be
struck upon the head of a drill ?
If mans civil right to contract
for his labor can be limited by
the Legislature in any kind of
contract, wherein lies the limit
to the power of the Legislature
to regulate and control every
step in life that man may take ?

it is a bad rule. Nevada is on
the threshold of development and
Improvement. The law fails to
distinguish between employment
in paying mines and paying in
stitutions, and places of employ
ment wherein there is nothing
being done excepting prospecting
work, in the hope of developing
something that will eventually
pay, and the cost of which is
furnished by young men in the
East who are working sixteen
hours a day in order to keep up
their assessments. | know this

seven years. He finally floated

men of wealth, and in part by
their employees The undertaking
involves the running of tunnel
about 1000 feet in length. The
ledge sought to be reached is
about 600 feet wide. If the ore
can be made to pay, there will
be room for the employment of
at least 500 men for many,
many years, at the best wages
paid in America. Why in any
manner discourage these people !?
They have already expended
over $150,OOO in their project,
every dollar of which came from
PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio. 1t was
re epresented to them that there is
600 feet wide of low-grade ore
which can be made to pay. The
property had been idle for over
thirty years | claim that under
these facts, if true, the act should
have distinguished between a
prospect and paying mine.
There are piles and piles OF
tailings which have been pro-
duced from the ores of the Com
stock, which lay idle for over
thirty years. Men have come
on the scene with outside capital
backing them, and they are now
attempting to make these tail
ings pay. There arc positions OF
employment where person can
be employed pro6tably for eight
hours in twenty-tour, but there
are many other positions where
ten hours only are needed. Why

This Is the time when many insect
friends and enemies have ensconced
themselves in some favorable spot to
spend the winter. The places chosen
vary greatly with different insects. A
great many of our common pestiferous
insects, such as the cOdli4g moth and
leaf roller, spend the winter under rub
bish, around grass roots, in fence cor
ners and beneath any similar shelter.
Without such shelter they would be un-
able to pass the winter safely. Farm
ers and fruit growers generally may
take advantage of this habot of insects
and profit greatly by it. All that Is
necessary is to remove the wintering
place. Then it is plain that insects
can not survive the winter and that
there will be none in the spring to null
tiply and annoy us the next year. OF
course our common sense tells us that
such an ideal condition OF affairs can
not exist, for it is Impossible to de-
stroy all shelters suitable for insect hi
bernation. Much may BIO done, hS&
ever, that will materially act as a prev
ventive. All boards and rubbish shoulte
be picked up, fence CORNERS should be
looked after, hedges cleared out and
all weed patches and leaves burned az

insects are In winter quarters.
