BreSilent For a Day.

David r. AtchisOn Of Missouri hat
the unique honor Of being president Of
the United States for one day. and that
was Sunday, March i, 1919. The term
Of James h. Polk expired on the morn
ing of that day. but, as it was Sunday,
the president elect, General Zachary
Taylor, was not inaugurated until next
day, March 5. In consequence the pres
ident pro TEN. Of the United States
senate, D. r. Atchison, was the acting
president on March 4, 1S49. However.
he had presided at night session Of
the senate, which lasted until away
after midnight Of Saturday, and he

realizing the fact that he was presi

The Red Lobster.
The question is often asked, says the
Lancet, without a satisfactory answer
being supplied, Why do Holsters and
certain shrimps and prawns turn red
on boiling? One reason may be that
the black pigment Of the lobster is an
iron compound in the lower state OF
oxidation. which boiling oxidizes to
the higher state. Red human hair is
said to owe its brilliance to iron exist
ing in the higher oxidized state, and
by means of reducing agents, such as
pyrogallic acid or nutgall. the color
may be modified. In short, oxygen is
q great painter and probably accounts
for the beautiful autumnal tints OF
plant life.

Copper Property Bonded.

A deal has about been consumma-
ted for the bonding of the Spragg
group of copper mines in this local
ity. We understand all arrange
ments have been made except the
signature to the articles of agree
ment by Mrs. Milligan, a part owner
of the property, who now resides in
Pennsylvania, and that this has
probably been obtained by this time.
The people who have taken the bond
are connected with the Western De-
velopment Company, of San Fran
cisco, aud the price is said to be $2o,-
600. AS soon as the papers in the
transaction are signed by all inter
ested, it is understood that quite
number of men will be employed
and considerable development work
done. The mines are located in the
same range of hills as the Bluestone,
only few miles to the south, and
are considered very promising cop
per prospects.

Stole Cabin and Tools.

Some grand larceny thief has
stolen the greater portion of the
cabin on the Pratt claim in Pump
kin Hollow, and all the tools that
were in the cabin. The cabin was
erected some eight years ago, and
those who have at different times
since done prospecting and develop
ment work in that district have
used it to live in. For some time
past no one has occupied the cabin,
but lot of picks, shovels, drills,
ETC., were stored therein. The
thieves have knocked the cabin to
pieces and taken away the best part
of the lumber in the last two
months. IT apprehended they will
have trouble on their hands.

Assessment Work.

Assessment work that has been
neglected on mining claims during
1904 may be held by the claimants
beginning work on the claim before
January 1, 1905, and continuing the
work until 500 worth of work shall
have been accomplished or improve
ments made. Some claim holders
begin their work in October or
November and do $Ioo worth of
work, and continue into the sue
ceeding year, when they do an adj
ditional 500 worth. BY this ar
rangement they are required to
visit the claim only once in two
years instead of yearly. IT an
amount of work be performed in
excess of the legal requirements
during any one year, it does not
count on the assessment work re-
quired the following year. 1t is
true that in saving claim from re-
location claim holder may begin
the work for 1904 in that year and
finish it in 1905, but he may not do
work tor 1905 in 1904.

A PROMISING Discovery.

Frank Freeman and Dan Sherry,
while gathering wood in the Pine
Grove hills last week, discovered a
ledge of ore which may make a val
liable mine. The discovery is about
five miles west of Pine Grove. At a
depth of four feet the ledge shows a
width of four feet, and assays of
the ore show it to carry Io2 ounces
of silver, 81 in gold and S per cent.
galena. The locators propose to
get out a quantity of ore as soon as
possible and ship it to the sampling
works at Mound House for a test.

Knee Badly Hurt.

Chas. Jones, who has been driving
for Will Pursel and hauling wood
from the hills, met with quite a
painful accident ednesday after
noon about a o'clock. While coming
down hill the brake on the wagon
refused to work and Jones was
thrown to the ground. He landed
in such manner that his left knee
was badly sprained and the liga-
ments injured. He was brought to
the Pursel residence as soon as pos
sible and a physician summoned,
who attended to the injury and
made the young man as comfortable
as possible. He will probably not
be able to use the injured limb for
two or three weeks.

The Key that UnIocks the Door to Long Living

The men of eighty-fve and ninety
wears of age are not the rotund well
fed, but thin, spare men who live on
a slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however, a man past middle
age, will occasionally eat too much
or of some article of food not suited
to his constitution, and will need a
dose of Chamberlain Stomach and
Liver Tablets to cleanse and invigo-
rate his stomach and regulate his
liver and bowels. When this is done
there is no reason why the average
man should not live to old age. For

The hearing of Harry Stevens, on
a charge of obtaining money by
false pretenses, took place last week
Friday. The charge was reduced to
one of misdemeanor, and Stevens
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
six months in the county Jail and to
pay fine of $500. 1t is understood
that the Newlands people have
agreed to make good all of Stevens
shortages. This seems to be Pc
culiar proceeding in the case. AS
Stevens has no money with which
to pay fine, and he cannot be made
to serve time to cover a fine, his pun
ishment for case of forgery ought
to be considered light enough to sat-
isfy almost anybody.

OBSCENE BOOKS.

In a recent raid of publishing
house of obscene books, the names
were found of nine hundred thousand
boys, with their post office addresses.
This should put parents on the watch.
In connection with the above we
quote from an exchange, presuming
it to be correct: "That in 1903 the
sale value Of literature in the United
States exceeded that of the sale of
Intoxicating liquors Of all descrip-
tions." This statement is gratifying
and encouraging as indicative of a
decrease in the drink habit, and an
increased and growing desire for food
and drink for the mind and heart,
provided the character of the litera-
ture is not that above referred to.
or the two evils it is difficult to tell
which is the greater menace to the
general welfare Of any country; we
are forced to put them in the same
category, as one creates q taste for
the other.

THE FRANCHISE TAN
AND DOG IA ".

1t seems that the legislature did
it's work rather loosely, when fram-
ing the franchise tax bill. 1t pro-
vides that returns by the several cor
porations included in the law be
made during the month of February
in each year. This bill did not reach
the governor for his approval until
February 29th, which renders the
the law imperative for the year 1904
1t was hoped by the promoters o!
this law to realize at least one hun.
dred thousand dollars, and thus tc
this extent at least make up the de
ficiency in the State Treasury.
The dog tax bill is in the same con
dition, so that the dog tax cannot be
collected until 1905.
