CENTRAL EUREKA MINE
Annual Report of President and Super
intendent

To the Stock holders of the Central
Eureka Mining Company:
The reports of the secretary on the
finances and the superintendent regard
ing the work done and results accom-
plished at the mine, are so full that
there is very little for me to say.
The shaft has now been sunk to a
depth OF 1880 feet on the incline, and
at the last two levels. i. 9. 1900 and
2, 300, strong veins of very good rock
have been found in the shaft and the
hope is entertained that the same grade
and quantity will be encountered as the
drifts on these levels are run north
and south. thus enabling the cOntinu-
alton of the dividends for the coming
year.
Your directors have just concluded
a ten years contract for electrical
power to run the mill and rock break
er, at the rate of 81. so per H. P. per
month against $3.50, the price we were
pay ing under the old agreement that
expired last year. This will effect a
good saving per month in the expense
account, which may be further reduced
later on by taking electrical power to
run the hoist, if negotiations which are
now going on prove the change to be
wise one from all points in view.
The condition of the litigation re-
mains unchanged from last year. Our
case is still before the supreme court
of the State of California on appeal
from the decision of the superior court
of Amador county, which as you know,
was in our favor. 1t is not likely that
it will come up for trial before the
November sitting of the court at Sac
rameuto, as they are very much in
arrears and their calendar is very full.

Censure For an Onicer Who Saved
Money For the War once.
A Jealous young officer In South AZ
rica who had a knowledge and love Of
farming made his men collect oats
which fell lavishly by the wayside as
column after column carrying out hay
passed up country. He plowed some
land, sowed his oats and eventually
reaped his harvest. This harvest,
which was heavy one, saved the
country at least f2,OOO But when his
accounts were sent home the officials
at the war Office could not understand
how they had come by something for
nothing. Such thing had never hap
pened before. They impugned his mo-
tives and accounts, and the least Of the
charges brought against him in a long
correspondence was that he had looted
the oats. Months passed, and still the
young officer had not been able to
convince the war office that he was
honest, Then a we'll known general in
tervened and testified that he himself
had watched the experiment in farm
ing by which the country had been
saved considerable sum of money.
At last the war Office ended the corre-
spondence. Nothing that had been in
sinuated was withdrawn, although
nothing was pressed furtheE The Off
Ger is left with the correspondence on
his hands, and any one reading it
could not hesitate to pronounce it as
being in effect severe censure.-Man-

sUpERINTENDENT's REPORT.

To the board of directors of the Cen
trail Eureka Mining Co.:
Gentlemen:-I herewith present the
following report of the operations at
the Central Eureka mine for the year
ending April 1st, 1904.
UNDERGROUND WORK.
The shaft has been sunk 225 feet.
making total depth of 1880 feet.
Station and chutes at the 2, 200 level
are nearly completed.
2lOO FOOT LEVEL.
The north drift has been extended
2S5 feet. The face of the drift shows a
ledge about 20 feet wide, low grade
quartz mixed with diabase.
The south drift has been extended so
feet Ledge about 10 feet wide, the
ore is considerably mixed with diabase
and is low grade, estimated to be 50. 90
per ton.
1000 FOOT LEVEL.
The north drift is in 29O feet from
the shaft, the face o! the drift is 10
barren greensboro.
The south drift has been extended
300 feet from shaft. The ore is badly
mixed with waste rock; the ore is low
grade and cannot be worked with
profit to the company.
1900 FOOT LEVEL.
The north drift has not been worked
during the year.
The south drift is in 425 from shaft,
and has passed through the ore shoot
and the face is in barren ground. The
ore in this drift has been very irregular,
sometimes the ledge would be 16 feet
wide and other times very narrow and
mixed with waste.
1900 FOOT LEVEL.
Nothing done on north side of shaft
for the year. The south drift is In 430
feet from shaft and in barren ground.
100 FOOT LEVEL.
During the year no work has been
done north of the shaft.
The south drift has been extended
430 feet from shaft and has passed
through the ore shoot and the face of
the drift is in barren ground.
1900 FOOT LEVEL.
During the year there was stopped
from the roof OF the south drift nearly
1000 tons of ore which milled about
So. 90 per ton.
There is quite wide body of ore re-
naming, but it is getting mixed with
waste and is of lower grade.

Glass Eyes.

The earliest notice of artificial eyes
am acquainted with occurs in a very
rare work by the French surgeon Am
brose Pare, entitled LA Methode Cura-
tive des Playes ct Fractures de la Teste
Humaine," Paris, 1861. Pare gives
a description and figures Of artificial
eyes to be worn in cases where the
eyeball has given way and all the hu-
mors have escaped. They are to be
segments of a hollow sphere, made of
gold, coated with enamel painted in
natural colors. With the exception of
the gold, they are exactly like the eyes
in use at the present time, which are
made wholly Of glass.-Notes and Que

THE QUEER MOROS.
Some of the Peculiarities of Thi
Left Handed People.

Some of the Peculiarities of This
Left Handed People.
To Judge Moros by infiexible occi-
dental standards of motives and NOR
ais is to lose at once the key to the
situation. The very structure of their
language differentiates them from our
selves. Verbs are in the passive voice
The man who was slashed and killed
provoked the trouble. The under dog
in the fight is always the aggressor
The thief is not blamed for finding
things lying about at loose ends; the
man who lost the property is the real
criminal-besides, he is fool. If he
were a sensible man he would have
exercised vigilance against the ap-
proach of the thief. Moros reverse ev-
erything. Like all orientals, they ven
crate the past and their folklore; myths
and legends abound in tales not unlike
those Of the Arabian Nights Enter
tainment"
They turn to the left of the road, ex-
tend the left hand naturally in greet
ing, and the scribes write from right
to left, turning the paper sidewise, as
any left handed man would do.
A witty officer explained that the
preference for the left was due to the
desire to keep the right hand free in
the event a stranger should need some
thing done to him. The explanation
may not be far from the Chap
lain G. G. Bateman in Journal of the
Military Service Institution.

AN ABRIDGED BIBLE.
Why Only the Two Covers and a Few
Tatters Were Left.
Ticket holders will please
come at once.

Tatters Were Left.
At gathering of several ministers
one of them, who is opposed to the so
called higher criticism" told the fol-
lowing story:
Zone day a member of a certain
church, who had listened attentively
for five years to the preaching Of his
pastor, took to the divine his Bible,
which was truly a sight to behold, with
whole books clipped out here or a pas
sage gone there. Indeed, between the
covers there was little else left but a
few shreds Of paper. The pastor was
Mortified and rebuked his parishioner
for using the Bible so shockingly. The
parishiOner meekly replied:
at is all the result Of your preach
ing. When 1 went home from church
each Sunday 1 cut out Of the book that
which you had criticised in your ser
mon of.that day. That verse on the
Trinity was an Interpolation, 30 out
went the strong verse. Then the can
onicity Of this book and that was
doubtful, 80 out went this book and
that. John did not write the gospel
Of John, so out went what was called
the gospel of John. This bit of history
was not history, only allegory, SO out
went that false and deceiving thing.
Positively, sir, 1 have been faithful
with my shears, and this is all the
Bible have left-the two covers and a
few tatters.' Baltimore Sun.

Butter as Medicine.

Butter is SO common a commodity
that people use it and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hands in the pats of dainty vel
low cream fat. But this delicate fat is
as valuable as the dearer cod liver oil
for the weakly, thin people, and doc
tors have frequently recommended the
eating Of many thin slices of bread
thickly spread with butter as a means
of pleasantly taking into the bodily
tissues one Of the purest forms of fat
1t is possible to get. Butter is a car
bon, and all excess Of it is stored up
as fat in the body. 1t gives energy
and power to work to those who eat
heartily Of 1t; so 1t is not economy at
table to spare the butter even to the
healthy folk.

ExCHEQUER TALLlES.
Wooden Money That Was at On
Time Current In England.

Wooden Money That Was at One
Time Current In England.
Wooden money in the shape of ex-
chequer tallies was current prior to
the establishment of the Bank of Eng
land In 1894 Tall1es was the name
given to the notched sticks formerly in
use in England for keeping the ac-
counts of the exchequer They were
square rods of hazel or willow, in
scribed on one side with notches indi-
eating the sum for which the tally was
an acknowledgment and on two other
sides with the sum in Roman charac-
ters.
When the transaction was completed
the tally recording it was split length
wise, so that each section contained a
half of each notch and one of the writ
ten sides. One half, called the tally,
or check, was given to the person for
whose service it was intended, and the
other half, called the counter tally,
was retained in the exchequer until its
corresponding tally should be brought
in by the person who had last given
value for it.
It thus became current token rep
resenting cash. After the establish
ment Of the Bank Of England govern
ment payments were made through its
agency. The use of tallies in the ex-
cheQuer was abolished by statute %.
George III. The old tallies were by
acts 4 and 8, William ~, ordered to
be destroyed, and it was burning them
that caused the confagration by which
the old houses Of parliament were de-
molished.-London Tit-Bits.

The Submarine Boat.

One Of the earliest suggestions Of the
submarine was that of British Snug
gler, Johnson, who invented a boat
that was to travel under or above wa
ter. With this vessel he proposed to
carry Napoleon from st. Helena, but
the emperor died while the boat was
under construction. The adherents Of
the emperor promised johnson $780,
600 on the day the boat was ready to
start and an immense sum If 1t proved
successful. Some years later Johnson
built boat with which he experiment.
ed In the Thames for the British admi-
rally. In this connection it may be
mentioned that one Of Napoleon's mar
shals, Massena, began life as a Snug
gler on large scale, and Commodore
Thurot of the French navy of that
time obtained his knowledge of the
British coasts while in the employ Of
a smuggler.

Finger Nails and Disease.

1t is interesting to watch the history
Of case Of disease as recorded upon
the finger nails. When we look at the
patients nails, we see on each of them
a distinct ridge. showing that the por-
ton of the nail which has grown since
the acute attack is much thinned out.
If a person has broken his arm within
eighteen months, the ridges on the
nails Of the hand Of the affected arm
may be seen, while they will be absent
on the other hand. The more acute
the illness the sharper will be the
ridge. Extreme anxiety and mental
depression have the same effect on
the nails as physical disease.

The Friendship OF Youth.

Two boys brought up together some
times remain fast friends for life, but
not so commonly as one might sup
pose. u thought you had little friend
with you today, Tommy" said lady
to child who was walking about
alone and disconsolate. 'I have a little
friend, but hate himp was the reply.
And the words contain a whole essay
full of comment upon the value of
friendship founded solely upon pro-
pinquity.-London Spectator.

the very best. Those who raise colts by this
beautiful young horse can consider themselves
fortunate. A tougher, more hardy, or better

Coffee TippIers.

Brazilians are great coffee drinkers,
Numerous cups are drunk each day by
the average man and woman. The
beverage is made very strong and very
sweet. 1t produces an exhilaration of
a more intense and lasting kind than
beer. Those addicted to this habit be-
come very restless and scarcely able to

CONDITION OF MINE.

CONDITION OF MINE.
The mill and all the machinery is in
good working order and the mine is in
good condition for working.
The amount of ore in reserve can on
ly be guessed at, as it is impracticable
to block out the ground; this is too ex-
pensive to do, and besides the ore bod
les are irregular ip size and quality.
But the ore developed in the 2100
and in sinking the shaft 225 feet below
that level will in all probability pay a
fair profit to work, and the stock hold =
ers may reasonably expect profitable
year.
