This discharge of mucous constitutes
weakening drain; the system cannot
long withstand the loss of mucus,
hence it is that women afflicted with

Survey About Completed.

Engineer Scott OF the Western Pacific
who has been in this vicinity for several
weeks past with a corps of surveyors.
completed his work near Beowawe this
week, having met a corps Of surveyors
working from the east at that place.
Mr.. Scott and his men have left for Cali
fornia where they will do more surveying
for the company. They shipped their
wagons aud horses by rail to their desti-
nation.
Fred Uren who has been with the
party will go with them, leaving last
night for Golconda where he will join
them and continue on to California.
1t was stated some time ago that the
Western Pacific men would be through
with their surveying in Nevada by the
latter part Of August, so from the above
we presume the survey through this
State has been about completed.

Silver Climbing.

The gradual climb in the price Of sill
yer has aroused conflicting emotions in
the minds of Nevada mining men-bope
that the increase will be permanent and
fear that it is but n temporary freak OF
the market. 1t will be remembered that
every 5-cent drop in silver in 1893 was
followed by the closing of a certain
number of mines. 1t is therefore rea-
sonable to suppose that the ascent OF
the price will cause a movement the
other way, ard every 5-cent rise involve
the working OF certain number of prop
critics. The one thing needed to bring
about this desirable result is an assur-
ance that the rise is going to last.

that there would be considerable tunnel

The Special Session of the A. o. U. W.

Grand Master Workman Miller of the
Anciett Order of United workmen in
Nevada convened the grand lodge this
morning at Keno in special session. The
call for the meeting was for the purpose
Of ratifying or rejecting the supreme
lodge scale of assessments.
At a recent session of the A. o. u. w.
a graduate scale OF assessments was pass.
ed. The action taken has started an
sgitation in the subordinate lodges that
threatens to be of serious consequence
to the order.
Many OF the older members are 10 open
revolt, and state that so far as they are
concerned the new condition Of affairs
would make immediate death their only
safeguard.
What action the grand lodge will take
remains to be seen, but it is hoped
hat matters may be successfully reme-
died.
Under the present system OF operation
the order faces a possible, even a prob
able, deficit of $78,00O,0O0 to accrue with
in the next twenty years. To avoid this
and enable the widely-known order to
meet its liabilities, as they accure, a
radical plan OF reorganization has been
decided upon, which will go into effect
90 January l. 1904.
Under the new system all rates have
been changed, and a new member has
the option of paying a gradually advanc-
ing scale OF assessments or fixed rate for
the entire term of his life. Members of
the age of hfty-hve years and over will
always pay the same rate, no matter to
what age they live.
The new system provides for a sinking
fund, or a guaranty rate az well as
a beneficiary rate. The former it be-
lieves will be abolished in twenty years,
by which time the error OF the original
level system will have been corrected.
Every member contributes to this
guaranty fund. This fund lifts one.
third OF the burden of making up the
past errors from the shoulders of the old
members and places it Oh the young
men. To men between the ages of eight.
cen and tw~enty-four it adds Is cents a
month for a $1,000 policy and 80 cents
for a $4,000 policy. For men OF the age
OF City five years and over the rate for a
81, 900 policy is S4.20 for the beneficiary
fund and and $40 a month for the SO.
600 policy. This is a heavy assessment
compared with the 81 death assessment
that such members paid when they first
went into the order, but it is claimed
there is no help for it.
1t has been arranged 50 that il the old
members connot pay the full amount
they may still derive the benefits by
having the unpaid assessments charged
against the principal sum. Thus, in
stead Of paying his 81 20 a month, 1t will
lie charged against his account, with
per cent per annum interest. and, when
he dies the total Of these unpaid assess
ments will be deducted from the prin.
cipal sum.
