Visited PING Grove.

Doc. Hudgens, one of the owners
of the Pine Grove mines, visited the
property this week in company with
a Mr.. Mari, a cyanide expert who
represents a company located at
Sumpter, Oregon. There are about
200, 600 tons of tailings on the prop
erty. Two thirds of these were
worked over some years ago, but it
is thought that they may contain
values sufficient to warrant working
again. There are over 60, 900 tons
Of tailings lying mainly under the
waste dumps, which have never been
worked. Mr.. Mari has taken many
samples for tests, and should the
material be found to contain sufficient
values,a plant will be constructed for
their extraction. Mr.. Hudgens eX-
poets also to soon put several men to
work on the big tunnel, this work to
count as assessment work on the
unpatented claims in the Pine Grove
group Yerington Times.

Ripe Ola Age.

Henriette Borsod, a widow, sup
posed TO be the oldest woman in the
monarchy, has been admitted into
the Budapest poorhouse. She gave
her age as l05, bat when her papers
came to be examined, her birth GER
tifcate was found to be dated 1888,
which makes her 116. When asked
why she had not given her right age,
the old woman replied that she was
ashamed of being so old. Thus will
it be seen that old age does not
wither nor infimities stife a woman's
ambition to get the best Of Father
Time.

Eahnlons Values.

A strike of ore so immensely rich
that it taxes the credulity of those
who are accustomed to bonanzas was
made a few days ago in the Murchie
mine near Nevada City. A small
vein Of telluride ore appeared which
was followed and stripped, revealing
a ledge Is inches wide Of the richest
ore ever found in this, the richest
gold district in the world. Some of
ore which was taken to San Fran
cisco went over seven thousand dol
lars in gold and several hundred
dollars in silver to the ton. Besides
the tellurium, the rock is s~priukled
with free gold, the yellow metal be-
ing plainly visible to the naked eye.
One shot brought down about three
tons OF the rock and Superintendent
Mailman is sacklng every unc Of II
for shipment and it is guarded as Sc
much bullion. The ore was struck
on the 600-foot level; the extent o
the shoot has not yet been deter
mined. The ore bins at the Murchi'
are loaded with ore of a good grade
and this new strike will bring th'
average away up in values. -Neyad'

II Is a wise plan when going to the
shore to spend the day, to go the day
before This apparent contradiction
probably sounds strange TO the average
reader, but there Is a good deal Of
sound. common sense in the statement
for all that.
In the first place, ito spend the day
means, literally. 10 spend the entire per-
Tod OF daylight in the given place, but
this Is a physical impossibility. unless
the energetic person rises before day
light and takes a very early train. But
this Is so tiresome that It pays better
10 be less OF an "eariy bird" and rise
more Ieisurely But even so, the day
OF pleasure IS considerably shortened.
II takes a couple OF hours 10 reach the
destination, and by that time it is get
ting toward 10 o'clock or half past. and
the traveller is beginning to be reminded
that she had an early breakfast. unless
she has been wise enough to surrepti-
tiously eat a sandwich on the train
Whereas, had It been possible for her
10 leave the night before she would have
had a comfortable nights rest. knowing
that she had not an early ride 70 look
forward to the following morning, and
that she had a room at boarding house
or hotel to which she could retire 10 rest
or freshen up when she Is so disposed.
Nor does she have 10 take the tiresome
trip back and forth from the city al
in one day. Il requires a good disposi-
ton TO avoid getting little cross anc

ed in the evening, and the good effects Of
the pleasant day are more than Cancelled
by the fatigue and general unpleasant
ness"
All this reasoning passed through the
mind of a young woman, not long ago,
when she determined 10 escape for even
a brief space from the July heat and
dirt OF the town. To be sure, she was
SO fortunate as 10 be relieved from the
question OF a hotel, as she had before
her the cordial letter Of an oil school
friend to spend a few days at her sea-
shore cottage.
How blissfui that sounded, a few days
away from the sticky heat of a down
town office, with absolutely nothing TO
do, and without the tiresome routine OF
hotel life. IL was an Irresistible tempta-
ton, and although the prospective trav-
ei@r had an unusual amount or work
that particular week. IL was finished in
some way by Friday night, and breath
less. but with an easy conscience, she
made the morning train on Saturday
with a vista OF two pleasant days in
prospect.
With its usual perversity, the weather
which had been outrageously hot all the
week, changed It's mind that day, and
Just as the heat-exhausted people Were
speeding away for relief. the morning
dawned bright and cool, and actually
made light coats luxury. But still the
idea of freedom was enough to compen-
safe for past discomforts, and, indeed
present annoyances. For the train, in
spite OF the early hour, was packed with
people, and an interesting study they
