Davy Crockett Popular.

Davy Crockett when he was first
elected to congress is described as a
finely proportional man, about six
feet high, IS years of age, of very
f ank, pleasing and open counte-
nince." He was dressed in homespun
aud wore black fur cap on his head
when seen by a traveller who called
at his house. Going thus into public
life, be began to show AN unusual
strength of mind and a memory al
most miraculous" Uncultured. ignor-
ant, terribly handicapped by lack OF
training and opportunity, he overcame
IL all. In Washington he won nation
al popularity. I'VE see in the Crock
EFT of 1894, says Hough. "a figure not
approached by any other American
statesman so nearly as by that other
rugged westerner, Abraham Lincoln"

The tramp awoke after his long
sleep. The afternoon had been hot,
and he had stretched himself on the
grass behind one OF the park benches
to doZe away the time. 1t was now
night. The sound OF voices was in
his ear. He peered cautiously through
the darkness. and saw that two indis.

WHY ICE DOES NOT SINK.
Writer Explains That Water Alone Is
Expanded by Cold.

Ii is one of the most extraordinary
things n this extraordinary world,
writes Henry Martyr Hart In a maya.
zine, that water should be the sole ex.
oeption to the otherwise universal law
that all cooling bodies contract and
therefore increase in density.
Water contracts as its temperature
falls and therefore becomes heavier,
and sinks until it reaches SO degrees.
At this temperature water is the
heaviest; this is the point of it's maxi.
mum density. From this point 1t be.
gins to expand. Therefore in winter,
although the surface may be freezing
at temperature Of 80 degrees. the
water at the bottom of the pool is 6 or
Z degrees warmer.
Suppose that water. like everything
else, had gone on contracting as II
cooled until 1t reached the freezing
point; the heaviest water would have
sunk to the lowest place and there
become ice. Although 1t Is true that
eight pints of water become nine pints
OF ice, and therefore ieebergs float,
showing above the surface an eighth
of their bulk. still, had the water
when at the bottom turned into ice.
the stones would have locked 1t in
their interstices and held it there.
and before winter was over the whole
pool would become solid ice and all
the poor fish would be entombed in
clear, beautiful crystal.

GOOD ADVERTISING CHEAP

THE News believes thoroughly
in advertising and in every
method of good advertising. While
those who have given the subject
intelligent thought acknowledge,
almost without exception, that the
best method is through the med
ium of printers ink, still there are
other ways that are very effective.
For a mining camp one of the best
means of advertising is the plac-
ing of attractive specimens of ore
where they can be cen by out
side mining men and investors.
This is a feature which Goldfeld
has SO far practically overlooked
and steps should be taken at the
earliest possible moment to see
that it is attended to-. A recent
arrival in camp stated that, before
coming here, he went to the Reno
Chamber of Commerce and found
but one little measly specimen of
ore, in their whole collection,
which came from this great dis
trict. Specimens of our best ore,
labeled with the name of the mine
from which it came and its value
per ton, would be gladly received
by the Reno Chamber of Com
merce and other public institutions
in mining centers and would re-
suit in hundreds of dollars worth
of advertising at practically no

referred to, he adds that he does not
know nor does he "care a CONT
mental mill dam or even a tinker's
profanity" In winding up his
comments on the matter, the edit
or says: when the present pro-
prietors of the State Journaj per-
NIT themselves to be bulldozed by
any man or set of men into dere-
lic,ion of their journalistic duty
they will make over their print
shop to some person or persons
who have the courage and princi-
pie to faithfully perform the duties
incumbent upon men engaged in
the field of journalistic labor"
At this distance it looks like the
mayor of Reno, smarting under
criticism Which was probably de-
served, attempted to run a bluff at
a time when bluffs were not work
ing. 1t is becoming altogether too
common for public officials to i'm
agine that they r the masters,
not the servants of the people, and
above criticism. They seek to
withhold information regarding
their official actions until it suits
their own pleasure to give it out,
if at all. This stand is untenable
and it isthe duty of the newspaper
to criticise it. The live newspa-
perman has a weapon, which, if
rightly used, is practically invinci-
bic. Wrongly used, it will fail, as
it should.

dated May 10th, says: IF current

will soon sever all official connec-

heavy stakeholder in the Tonopah
Extension, at Tonopah; the Has
brouck, at Gold Mountain, and
other mining properties which
promise to become bonanzas. His
recent visit to this section of Ne.

NEVADA AT ST. LOUIS
L. L. Patrick Back From Exposition
with Cheering Story

L. L. Patrick, one of the leasers
of the Combination and January
mines in Goldfeld returned yester-
day from a trip through the east
where he has been in connection
with the Goldfeld and Tonopah
properties. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Patrick, who continued to
Tonopah yesterday morning.
Mr.. Patrick in a statement last
evening concerning the Goldield
properties said that the force of
men working in the Combination
mine would be increased as soon
as he reached the camp and that
the company would Immediately
begin the erection of a fifty ton
mill. When the mill is completed
the ore will be extracted and work
ed as quickly as possible.
The large mine owner visitedthe
St. Louis exposition on the day of
the opening and saidthat the crowd
present on that day was nearly
twice as large as the crowd at the
Opening of the Chicago fair. He
visited at the fair for several days
and took in all of the exhibits that
were prepared, but he said that
few of them were in shape on the
opening day. He visited the Ne
vada building, which was the only
state building completed at the
time. Mr.. Patrick gives much
praise to Senator Hardin and
Worlds Fair Commissioner James
Yerington for the work they have
accomplished for Nevada at the
Exposition. He spoke very high
ly of Nevada's exhibit and says il
will be a beauty and thoroughly
advertise the state when complet'

Though butterflies and moths are
found widely. distributed all over the
globe they are by far most abundant
in the tropics. For instance, Brazil can
show to the collector not less than 700
different species within an hours walk
of Para. There are not half as many
in all Europe. In Britain there are 81
species, and in all Europe there are 800
different kinds. They are found as far
north as Spitzbergen, on the Alps to a
height of 5000 feet and on the Andes
up to $4,000 feet. AS there are some
100000 species it is easy to see why
butterfly hunters are great travellers.

keep your own troubles to yourself.
The world is too busy to care for your
ills and Sorrows Learn to stop croak-
ing. If you cannot see any good in the
world keep the bad to yourself. Learn
to hide your pains and aches under a
pleasant smile. No one cares to hear
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears
do well enough in novels, but they are
out of place in real life. Learn to meet
your friends with a smile. The good

driac is not wanted anywhere and is a
