The Test Run.

The announcement in this paper
last week that the smelter would soon
start up has caused an unusual a.
mount of prospecting, and many new
locations have been made this week.
That the Company means business is
evidenced by the fact that two of its
representatives are now hunting ore
in this vicinity with which to make
the trial run. While both gentlemen
are non-commital on the subject, from
indications it would appear that they
are highly pleased with the prospects
visited. They will before returning
visit every prominent prospect, and
it is the duty of the people to help
them in every way possible.
The local company received letter
from the California corporation this
week and to give those interested an
idea of the situation we quote part of
the letter:
Regarding Ore Supply. The pat
entee of the new furnace claims that
he will require ] or per cent of
copper ore in order to properly fiux
the ores in your locality. Do you
suppose you can find, within the next
two or three weeks, from 40 to so tons
of copper ore that will carry from to
3 per cent copper? If so, believe our
task will be easy. 1t is our intention
to start the smelter about June 10,
that is, we will be ready to receive
ore about that time and we will
require for the 10 days test not less
than 300 tons of smelling ore fully so
of which must be copper ore assaying
from to 3 per cent copper would
like to have the miners select their
ore carefully, from 500 to $50 ores.
"As this is to be test run, | trust
that every miner in your vicinity as
well as every man in the valley will
get behind the proposition and help
us obtain the necessary ore for this
run. Upon this run depends the sue
cess of the smelter."
1.-THE patentee and his corporation
have sufficient confidence in the re-
modelled smelter to pay their own
money for all improvements, as well
as the labor necessary to equip the
plant, but our corporation will be
called upon to furnish the ore, fuel
and run the smelter under charge of
the patentee of the new smelter. OF
course we are taking chances on the
success of the proposition, inasmuch
as we are putting up money for fuel
and operating expenses for 10 days
run. As the success of this smelter is
of the most vital Importance to the
people of your valley, trust that the
miners will be willing TO deliver the
ore and await returns from the smelt-
er to which we ship our matte"
The above gives good idea of the
things needed to make the test run
a success. AS it is of such vital inn
portance to the people of this valley,
it behooves all to interest themselves
in the matter and be particularly care
full against placing obstacles in the
promoters path. There is no single
venture that would aid Douglas coun-
ty and the surrounding country near
as much as the starting of the smelter.
The benefits to be derived are SO
obvious that we will not dwell on them
at present.
What the company wants is ore, and
let MS see that they get it.

The Nevada Placer
Mines Not a Success.

The first clean up :at the Nevada
Placer mines, held this week, demon
strated that the present method of
working the Carson river sand is far
from a success. No values whatever
were saved and the promoters are
crestfallen. The plant has been closed
down pending word from the Eastern
stockholders.
1t is with extreme regret that we
chronicle the above, and we trust that
undaunted the Nevada Company will
yet find some method of saving the
gold in the sands of the Carson river

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9th.
| Editor of The Call-Dear Sir:-I
have honor of reporting that one Of
my friends who is fighting in the field
of Manchuria, China, has done ex-
ceedingly heroic conduct. This de-
scription was sent by one another in
Manchuria who has observed IT. I
will be much delighted if you add this
description to the war news on your
paper. Respectfully yours
OSA Ca Japanese).
The heroic conduct of a Japanese
soldier, Ohashi, was heard by Mi
kado. Just before the attack of Ku-
lien-chang most dangerous reconnois-
sance was done by the Japanese
scouts, one of which was named Kuki-
chi Ohashi who belonged to the third
regiment of the army guard, was the
most marvellous one.
The brave Ohashi, while the enc
my's fire was very heavy and innum-
cradle bullets were falling like show
ers of rain, made his body entirely
naked by taking off his uniform and
| jumped in a river, over which he had
to swim, and crossed 1t easily just as
he wanted. After that he creeped up
to the other side of the river where
enemy was occupying and took off the
enemy's sword by force with which
he killed number of Russians and
rushing further to the enemy's posi-
ton, which was situated in the top
of a hill, pursued enemy who were
agitating about and put two artillery
men out Of action and captured one
more. After that he, crying loudly
"Banzai," hoisted the Japanese flag
of Rising Sun.
This brave conduct Of Ohashi was
heard by the Emperor who has ear
nestly required his antecedent.

One hundred Of the aluminium bronze

John A. Brashear. DR.. King is chief

some new instruments which are being
manufactured for the Ottawa Univer-
sity by DR.. Brashear. 1t was stated
that three years would be required to
complete the survey Of the Alaskan
boundary. A corps of engineers is in
the field and assistants will be sent

be dressed after the style of the period,
but there is nothing yet TO show that
the men viii be put to any inconve-
nience beyond the modern dinner at
tire. The decoration of the rooms is in
the hands of a big West End firm, and
il is estimated that the cost will not be
much short of S1O, 900. Special men have
been imported from Paris and other
places on the Continent, as few English
worlmen are acquainted with the style
required. The peculiar feature of Mrs.
Mackey's enterprise is that after the
opening dinner the rooms are to be re-
stored to their normal state, and that
on every successive occasion when a
new departure is contemplated the
apartments are to be again decorated
according to the style required. AS
Mrs. Mackey's parties are to be lavish
and frequent the decorators are looking
forward to a harvest such as has sell
dom been experienced even in Mayfair.
The first party will be the most select
and will include most of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mackey's American friends now in Lon
don. Later on English society bellies
will figure largely at these entertain
ments.
1t is to America that the eyes of the
French religious communities probably
will be turning as their next land of
refuge. At the present moment these
refugees are about the one hope of
English landed proprietors who are
anxious to sell their houses and es-
tates 1t is now almost impossible to
sell estates or even to let them in Eng
land. Times are not such as to en-
courage English smart folk to take an
extra country seat for a year or SO,
much less buy one, and the wealthy
Americans who come over TO England
are seldom attracted to those estates
that the owners are most anxious to
sell. Americans buying places in Eng
land want the old castles and such like
historic dwelling places which are
mostly entirely out of the power of
their owners to sell. 1t is out Of the
way estates and mansions that can be
purchased, and these, while not ap-
pealing TO the American millionaires,
are especially suited to the different re-
hgious communities-most of them
are enormously wealthy-which are be-
ing expelled from France.
Belgium was, of course, the first
thought of these refugees on account
Of the same language being spoken, but

parties and turn their feast day pro-

The Earl of Ashburnham, who is the
second Roman Catholic in England,
the Duke of Norfolk being the first, has
lent Pembrey, his splendid estate in
Carmarthenshire, Wales, to one of
these communities who are noted for
their cheese making. Another body of
these French refugees are negotiating
/ for an estate in Devonshire.

Physicians for Panama.

1t is expected that twenty-five of the
300 physicians the Government is pre-

anna will be chosen from civil life in
Philadelphia. This statement was
made by an officer at the League
Island Navy Yard recently. He said
that the bulk of the physicians would
be selected from Washington, New
York and Philadelphia. AS there will be
fully $4,000 men engaged on the 18TH
mus, ii is believed that 300 physicians
will be none too many to look after
their health. The higher positions will
be allotted to the Government sur
geons. Young and active physicians

japanese Paper Shrubs.

The cultivation Of paper plants in
japan is a very important industry.
As is well known, Japanese paper of
various kinds is in demand throughout
the world. Recently American and
European manufacturers have been
giving some attention to the possibility
Of producing from Japanese paper-pulp
some of the numberless useful articles
and toys similar to those in vogue in
the island empire To that end, Japan
ese paper shrubs are to be planted in
America and in the countries of South
ern Europe. The United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, which recent
ly sent experts to secure seeds of the
mitsumata plants, is to make extern
sive experiments in growing this par
ticular valuable variety. 1t is believed
that this shrub will thrive in Florida,
Louisiana, in irrigated parts of Texas
and the Colorado Desert and in some
sections Of the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys in California Should
this introduction of the japanese mitu-
mata plant into America prove sue
cessful 1t will bring fortune TO many
farmers. Rice-planters, particularly in
Texas-the climate Of which 1t is be-
lieved, will prove suitable to the valu-
able exotic-could. set shrubs out along
the unoccupied dikes and on all the
narrow strips of land dividing flooded
fields and secure profitable returns
from the enterprise. The American ex-
perts who have been investigating the
subject in Japan are inclined to be-
lieve that when the mitsumata plants
are grown successfully in America and
American machinery is invented for the
conversion Of the pulp into paper, that
product will be put to many uses not
thought of in Japan.
The yield of the mitsumata paper
plant in Japan frequently amounts to
two thousand pounds Of raw bark to
the acre. The crude pulp is readily
sold at thirty-two sen (sixteen cents)
the pound. The seeds alone are some
times quoted at three yen (sl 500 the
gallon. AS many as twenty-four thou
sand shrubs are grown on an acre
The harvesting is done by cutting the
plants off at the roots. The next spring
the shrub grows UP again. In fact,
mitsumata roots a century old and
still sending UP new shoots are often
shown. The plant is highly decorative
and is grown as an ornament in some
of the gardens of Japan.-Booklovers
