PROHIBITS SALE OF
AMERICAN slLvERWARE.

One of the most valuable trademarks
In the world belongs to the British
Government-the "hallmark," which is
officially stamped on all sterling silver
articles made in Great Britain, and
which guarantees their purity. The
value of this mark, says Printers Ink,
is so great that American manufactur.
ers have made o practice Of sending
their wares to England to be stamped.
with q view Of leading their customers
ut home to believe the articles were of
English manufacture. Such goods
come back into this country duty free.
The English Government 10Y refuses,
under . recent Act Of Parliament. to
sanction this sharp practice, and as the
"hallmark". win be placed on no more
American wares. the Act virtually pro-
hibits the sale of our silver in Great
Britain, for all articles sold there must
bear the 'shallmark."

TOO BUSY TO VOTE.
200 Voters in Lincoln County Have
Not Registered.

A dispatch frou' Phoebe, Lincoln
County, dated Oct. "a says: This
county is confronted with the strange
spectacle of having a precinct contain
ing 200 or more voters, every one Of
whom has refused to take advantage OF
his birthright to vote. The fact was
not discovered until to-day when
County Clerk Nesbitt received word
from the registration agent at Bird
Springs, stating that he was too busy TO
attend to registering the men, and that
anyhow they had too much to do to
take time { o either register or vote.
The time for registering expired on the
Goth, aud even if the men could be per-
suaded to alter their intention it would
be too late for them to get on the
books. The result will be Lincoln
County will be short 200 votes this year.
Most of the men are employed on the
new Clark railroad now being built
through this county.

/. To Drain the COmstock.

The task Of unwatering the Com.
stock. for which a contract aggregating
several hundred thousand dollars was
entered into several weeks ago at San
Francisco between the General Electric
Company, which has an immense power
plant at Floriston, California, and
nearly a dozen large mining companies,
will begin next month. The undertake.
ing is one of the largest in the history
of the State, and will require the con-
struction of another large power plant
on the Truckee River which will supply
the power necessary for the work. AT
present the Comstock is being worked
on levels ranging from $500 to 5000 feet
but ON account of the presence Of hot
water mining is very slow, expensive
and dangerous. The Lodges are still
rich and once the mines are unwatered
there is expected to be a revival that
will again make the Comstock mines
among the most important.

HAY IS TOO HIGH.
Butchers Can Not Buy Cattle Ahead
and Feed This Winter.

Colonel Hardin of Santa Rosa, CAL,
of the oldest cattlemen in this State
and a man who made Nevada his home
for over a third of a century. was in
Reno a few days ago on his way to
Winnemucca to inspect his cattle ranch
and to look after his stock.
Colonel Hardin bays that the price of
hay is o high this Fall for butchers
to buy heavily of stock and feed them.
1t is out of the question for them to
breakfeven when they pay from IS to 81
q ton, he says, and in his opinion there
will not be many who will feed this
Winter.
He says that Nevada has had a good
cattle year but that the tendency of
prices has not been encouraging for
several months.

Ouicksands.

Quicksands occu usually on fat
shores underlain by stiff clay or other
impervious materials and especially
near the mouths of large rivers. In ap-
pearance ,quicksands do not differ from
other or adjacent sands. They are
formed blythe vast amount Of water
within the sand bank, which is pre-
vented from running of by the under
lying impervious layer. The water
that infltrates the sand may be sup
piled either by . river current, directed
against q concave shore. or spreading
over . seabeach /; by tides which at
their ebb leave behind them imprisoned
bodies or water, or by sea currents run
ming through narrow channels and fore
ing the water against the adjacent
shore. Qpicksands are of very light
weight. the grains having rounded sur
faces while other sands the grains are
sharp. In 1875 near Pueblo, Col, a
train of cars with locomotives sank into
a bed Of qu~icksand, and has never been
recovered. They were probed for to q
depth of 90 feet. but not located.

ESGLAND's MINES VANISHING.
The Famous Cornish Mines About
Worked Out.

The famous Cornish mines in Eng
land. which have been worked since be-
fore the time of the Romans. have prac-
tically reached their last stages. judg-
ing from q review by Edward Ash
mead in the London Mining Journal.
This authority says:
1.-The most deplorable thing in con-
nection with mining is the low ebb to
which British metalliferous mining is
reduced. From being one of the most
i~ourishing of industries, it has dwindled
down to almost the vanishing point.
Great Britain never claimed to be a gold
producing country. but for tin. copper,
lead and zinc 1t was, within the MEM
cries Of many of those living. able to
produce, not only all of these metals re-
quired for home use, but even to export
part of its production to foreign
countries.
"For some time now Great Britain
has been gradually closing down its
OWA Alucop oA0 AcApAn6 Aoe
largely to find the means to open those
in other countries. According to the
mineral statistics Of the United King
dom. compiled by the late Robert Hunt.
we had in the year 1881 no less than s5
mines working and producing tin (all
in the two western counties), So produc-
ing copper. $50 producing lead and 90
producing zinc making no less than 462
mines producingthese four metals alone.
The product Of these mines not only add.
ed directly to the wealth of the nation,
but gave honest and constant employ.
ment to thousands of hands. Turning
to my own tables, / find that in the
three years 1873, 166 companies for
working metalliferous mines were reg.
istered at Somerset honse, having a
total capital of 81, 726, 566. Twenty
years later, 1908, only 80 companies
were registered, and the united capital
fell to 81. O44, $780,"

Baltic Squadron Fires on Eng

English People Greatly Excited And
Demand Immediate Reparation-
Russians Thought the Fisher
men Were Japs.

An attack was made on the night OF
Oct. 81 by the Russian Baltic squadron
upon the Hull fishing fleet about 200
miles south of Spurn Head, of the Eng
lish Channel. One vessel was sunk, the
captain and mate killed and many OF
the crew seriously wounded. The
steam trawlers Moulmein and Mino ar
rived at Hull seriously damaged by
shots, the latter having 16 holes in her
hull. The English people are greatly
excited and it is thought that if ample
apology and reparation is not promptly
made war will be declared by Great
Britain against Russia.
Thought They We're Japs.
Admiral R~ojestvensky, commander
Of the Baltic feet, who was o. Vigo,

admiral stated that the unfortunate &C.
currence was purely accidental. The
weather on the night in question was
rather hazy. About 1 a m. two tor
pedo boats, which the Russians sup
posed were Japanese craft, suddenly
appeared between the two divisions
Of the squadron and seemed to dis
charge torpedoes. The Russians i'm.
mediately opened fire. They saw no
fishermen, and were not aware that any
damage had been done. Evidently,
the admiral said the fishermen had
shown no lights. The admiarl repeated
that he greatly regretted that any in
jury had been done to the fishermen,
and added that he had no doubt the
