THE TRUE FISHERMAN.
He Enjoys Natures Beauties and IL
Not n Mere Butcher.

He Enjoys Natures Beauties and IL
Not n Mere Butcher.
The anglers art Is but a pretext, or,
rather, the incentive to a ramble, and
not the sole object of the fisherman,
unless. alas, he belongs to that too
common variety, the man whose sole
object is his catch. Such a man fishes
with a worm, hides fingerlings in the
depth of his basket and photographs
his catch as a witness of his crimes.
He is not fisherman, but butcher.
A yellow primrose on the rivers bank
is to him q primrose and nothing
more.
The true fisherman loves to catch
fish. to match his wits against the
weary trout, but as he wanders from
pool to pool the songs of the birds
greet him restfully. Every turn in the
stream reveals nook In which strange
wild flowers nestle. The gentle ex-
element of the sport prevents the
scene from becoming monotonous. The
element of chance, the uncertainty Of
the catch, add the drop of tabasco
sauce which gives zest to the day. And
the noontide meal by the brink of the
stream! When did a meal have q more
delightful flavor? Delmonico never
served a trout like unto those we have
eaten by the banks of a mountain
brook with the clear blue sky above,
the waving forest round about and
the murmuring stream at our feet.
The hour of contemplation comes
afterward, with the pipe of peace in
our hand instead Of the relinquished
rod. How far Off the city seems! Are
there such things as corporations,
trusts, stocks, bonds, electric lights
that amaze the sight, harsh warnings
Of trolley gongs, the rumble and grind
Of the wheels and the brakes on the
elevated road which alright the ear?
The harshest note that breaks the still
ness here Is the boom of the bittern in
the distant marsh.
Home to camp the fisherman goes,
taking a cast in this silent pool In
which the trout rose in the forenoon
TO his cast, but missed the fly, or in
that dark hole deep under the bank
In which vigilant eye may detect the
brown sides Of trout with lazily wav-
ing fins and tail, an old campaigner
not easily caught.-Dr. A. T. Bristow
in Worlds Work.

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh

AS mercury will surely destroy the

ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney

The Scientific American of last Sat
urday contains very interesting de-
scription of how lead pencils are made.
1t also explains how the oxides of iron,
silicates and other impurities found in
graphite ore are eliminated. Most of
the graphite used for pencils is import
ed from Eastern Siberia, Mexico, Boz
hernia and Ceylon. There is an abund-
ance of this ore in Nevada, one deposit
being within few miles of Carson,
with ample facilities at hand for puri-
flying and putting it in marketable
form.

Nevada lead ores carry from 100 to
1000 ounces of silver per ton, hence an
advance of eight cents per ounce
means an increase in the value of
these ores of IS to $50 per ton. Last
January silver was quoted at about 4S
cents per ounce-the lowest price since
King Solomon's time, and now it is
selling for about So cents per ounce.
Another raise of eight or ten cents will
mean a whole lot to Nevada lead min
ers as well as to silver and gold prop
critics.

The Ancient Order of United Work
men has issued a new schedule, in
which they ''sock it, to the old men,
bers with full force. The young blood
in the organization complained that
they were getting the worst of it, and
so they put up a job to squeeze the old
men out, never thinking that young
men get old. 1t was as pretty sight
as looking at a son kicking his father
out This is the second time the Order
has raised the schedule on old men,
and it will likely haveto do it again.
1t is the history of all fraternal organ
izations, organized for mutual insur-
ance. In 1885, the cost of insurance in
the Workmen, for all members, was
less than $24 year, and now the high
est is about $50 year. The best way
to handle this system of insurance is
to drop the old organizations and join
the new ones, because time and age is
bound to force them to revise their
schedules in order to exist-they have
all done it, or gone under, and they
are all bound to go under in time, as
the cost keeps on increasing year by
year.

The late Senator William Sharon
said, in the latter sixties, that he would
yet reduce ore on the Comstock that
was not worth over So ton. He said
this at time when silver was worth
81. % per ounce. He did not live to do
it or see it done, but tailings not worth
over 81 ton, with silver at fifty cents
an ounce, are now being reduced at a
profit at the Woodbury., Davis, Phil
lips, Buffers and other plants. There
are millions of tons of ore on the Com
stock, from the surface down, that can
be qrfarried for about fifteen cents a
ton, and crushed for cyaniding pur-
poses for about fifty cents ton, Or
less, and by building fumes, can be
carried to the reduction works for
about five cents a ton, directly from
the crushing plants. 1t is impossible
to mine this ore and timber the exca-
vations at any profit, because it costs
about So ton to timber. But there
are many millions of tons that can be
quarried Expensive and massive ma
chinery, specially adapted to the pur-
pose, and very extensive plants would
have to be introduced, but the ore is
known to be there, and there are mil
lions in it, This ore may not pay "a
a day for eight hours work, but it will
pay more per day for that class of
work than anywhere else on the coast,
and for less hours work.

Carson Letter.

ED. COURIER: The severest blow that
organized labor has yet received is the
order of the President that in govern
ment employ there shall be no dis
elimination between union and non-
union men. Secretary Cortleyou, of
the Department of Labor, was inform
ed by union leaders that under their
constitutions and bylaws union men
were not permitted to work with nom
union men, and the Secretary prompt
" replied that they had better amend
their constitutions, as it was not like
ly that the constitution of the United
States would be amended to conform
to the constitutions of the unions. Ar
gued to its legitimate conclusion, the
order amounts to an order that no I'M
ion man shall be employed by the gov
eminent, for two reasons: First, union
men will not work with non-union
men, and in the second place the gov
ernment. must protect the non-union
hen in their employment, to the ex-
tent of ordering out the entire militia
ry forces of the United States. 1t
seems plain, that under the rule, pro-
cess of elimination of union men must
fellow, even though they amend their
constitutions so as to permit union
men to work with non-union men. The
process of elimination will be brought
about by the constant friction between
union and non-union men, which
seems irrepressible, and the govern
ment, being forced to protect the nom
union men, it is plain that the union
man has the worst of it. l must add
that it is an infinite pity that the
President does not handle the combin-
ations of capital with the same force
and vigor that he is handling combina-
tions of labor. believe he could do
it, if he was as earnest in that particu-
lar. But what will be the result of the
Presidents order, and it's effect upon
the next Presidential campaign? All,
there's the rub.
