The old, general meaning of the word
invention" seems strange to modern
eyes and ears. Invention" signifies
simply finding" though the meaning
Of discovery has been specialized away
from it in modern speech Thus Hook
er wrote of that judicial method
which seemeth best for the invention
of truth. When Burton wrote of the
invention Of a geometricaI problem" he
meant its solution In the seventeenth
century the circulation of the blood
was described as 1.-THE best and most
useful invention Of this latter age and
In the eighteenth century Or. Willis
was referred to as s.the first inventor
Of the nervous system.

south Afrfcn's First Finds Were Paid
For In Cows.
South Africa's first diamonds were
paid for in cows. The story is told by
Joseph b. Robinson, one Of the wealthy
pioneers OF that country In 1879 he
gave eight oxen and a wagon loaded
with sugar and tobacco to a native in
exchange for twenty three carat
gem. s..The news spread like wildfire
through the countryside that white
man was giving away wagons and
oxen for bits Of stone" he says. I
set al the natives who came to work
to seek for diamonds on one side of the
Vaal river, and / brought up my own
fifty men to hunt for diamonds among
s the bushes and scrub on the other side
Of the stream. had bought the land
on both sides Of the river, so that /
was working on my own property
Next morning at sunrise, when / was
having my coffee, was startled by
a loud huIlabalooing, and, looking
out, I saw the whole gang Of my men
rushing toward me in a state of wild
CANltCi1lCl1t.
Zone Of them had found a diamond
of good size. They all had come to
see what would do with it. What
will you give me for it?' said the
finder. I will give you ten cows I
replied and sent the man into the herd
to take his pick. He marked ten of
the best cows as his own. The men
had never dreamed of making such a
bargain. Ten cows for bit of stone!
OF they went again and found dia-
monds every day. They became rich,
and / accumulated good store Of
precious stones.
after we had accumulated large
quantity we decided we would better
send them to London. We made belt
full Of small pockets, in each of which
we placed a diamond. When the belt
was filed my partner girded it about
his body and started for Cape Town.
He never took off the belt until he
reached London. And it was in this
way the first consignment of African
diamonds reached London

His own self.

There is a time in every mans edu-
cation when he arrives at the convic-
ton that envy is ignorance; that imi-
tation is suicide; that he must take
himself for better, for worse, as his
portion; that, though the wide uni
verse is full of good, no kernel Of
nourishing corn can come to him but
through his toll bestowed on that plot
Of ground which is given to him to till.

MACHINERY ON THE GROUND AND
DEVELOPMENT PROCEEDING IN
A BUSINESSLIKE WAY
T. A. Lucy, Mining Engineer.
u. s. Deputy Mineral Surveyor.

Goldfeld, Nevada, August IL, '05.
Mr. w. w. Degge, Boulder, Colorado:
Ny Dear Sir While on a recent trip
to the Gold Crater district / had an op-
portunity to look i've the property of
the Wellington association and the de-
velopment that is being done on it I'M
der the management of Mr.. Sam G..
mott.
While the property is as yet in an
undeveloped condition the surface
showing and development to date gives
promise of a mine of very great mag
nitude.
The formation and the conditions in
connection with the ore occurrences in
this property are practically identical
with those of the best portions Of the
Goldfeld district. While the surface
showing both as to quantity and value
is fully equal to anything l have seen
in this region.
The work Mr.. Knott is doing on the
property is the most business like
piece of development work that / have
seen in the outlying camps.
Yours very truly,

Possibilities.

After having spent several months
investigating the mineral ~sourc of
the Nevada gold fields, and about two
weeks in the careful study of forma-
ton and general characteristics of this
district, 1 cannot help but feel that the
possibilities for the same are excep-
tionally good, and / have no hesitancy
in recommending this group of claims
to you or your friends as a safe and
reliable mining investment.
My opinions are entirely based ON
the favoraDle m~ineralized conditions
existing in this territory and the un-
usual high results of my assays. /
doubt if better results were obtained
on any of the big producers
in the Goldfeld district at the time of
their discovery, and certain it is that
no better mineralized conditions ex-
listed at the vein out-crop than can be
found along the course of the veins on
your property.
With sufficient capital to properly
develop the property, it is my firm be-
lief that a mine of great value will be
made. Not at any point along this
great mineralized zone of the Nevada
desert does better conditions exist or
more favorable signs of a big producer
being found Samuel G. Knott.

HELD UP AT HAzEN
T. F. Quinn Loses Teeth and Several
Thousand Dollars

With twenty-five hundred dollars in
gold coin and one thousand dollars
worth of diamonds in a belt tied about
his waist and several thousand dollars
worth of shares in a wallet in his in
ssde pocket, T. F. Quinn, a mining man
~ Goldield, was attacked by two muir
dera,,s thugs in me railroad depot ut
Hsxea Monday hight. The attack was
man~---pon* 10 o'clock, the robbers
after a fierce fight ..seceeding in get
ting away with Mr.. Quinn's miaing
stock, leaving him covered with blood
on the depot platform. With his face
swathed in ~bandages Nh. Quinn passed
through Reno for San Francisco yester-
day morning. Nearly all his front teeth
had peen knocked out, the result of be-
ing beaten with the dubbed end of a
revolver.
Mr.. Quinn describes his assailants as
a tall and a short man. Deputy Sheriff
Allen of Hazen has an idea as to the
identity of the men but has not sue
ceeded in capturing them. Mr.. Quinn
has stopped the transfer of his mining
stock which is valued at several thou
sand dollars. That he did not lose his
money and diamonds is due to his W
bravery, for his clothes and appear
ance of his face yesterday gave evil
dence of the experience through which
he passed.
Mr.. Quinn had been waiting in the
hotel for a train. He was told to be
careful in going about with so much
money on him but gave the warning no
thought until assaulted. Yesterday
morning he had his property shipped
by express.

IN THE HARNESS
Working for Change of
County Seat to Goldfeld Are Busy.

These are busy days for the mem
bers of the committee who nave charge
of matters pertaining to the change of
the county seat from Hawthorne to
Goldfeld and they are overlooking no
feature which will assist in bringing
about the much desired result. Their
chief effort at this time is to secure
the signatures of the necessary number
of taxpayers to the petition which is to
be presented to the county commissions
ers. They are meeting with the utmost
success in that line and anticipate hav-
ing the roster completed within a few
days. That the petition will be IN
readiness for presentation at the next
meeting of the county board is an as
sured fact, and then, in a measure, sub
sequent proceedings will be up to the
latter.
The petition will set forth in plain,
vigorous terms the desire of the resi-
dents of this locality and embraced in
it's provisions will be the request that
a special election be called in the i'm
mediate future for the purpose of de-
termining by ballot the trend of the
people for or against the removal of
the county sea- from Hawthorne to
Goldfeld. From expression of opinion
on the matter made by prominent resi-
dents of the Goldfeld mining district
to a reporter for the News and to
members of the committee, it appears
as though the measure cannot fail of
passage. With the vastly greater pro-
portion of the population of Esmeralda
county domiciled in this end of the
county it is e%minently just that the
county seat should be located at Gold
field; and this becomes the more ap-
parent when it is taken into considera-
tion the fact that the great volume of
public business comes from this vicin-
ity, and that to transact it at Haw-
thorne entails onerous expense upon the
inhabitants of this sections; particu-
larly so since the present county seat
was wiped from the railway map. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that the county
commissioners will view the question in
the proper light and that they will
take no steps which will tend to retard
the progress of this vast mineral bear
ing section.

CUTE ANIMAL ACTORS
Marvellous Collection With Cozad's
Dog, Pony, Monkey, Goat Circus

An entire performance given by an
imal actors alone is indeed a genuine
and pleasing novelty and one that has
always interested lovers of dumb
brutes, Cozad's California Dog, Pony,
Monkey and Goat circus which will
exhibit in Goldfeld on the afternoon
and evening of October Is has the
most remarkable collection of perform
ing pets ever exhibited in this country.
These animal actors do everything that
human performers accomplish. They
appear in dramas and comedies that
e~loquently tell their own story without
words; the acrobatic members per-
form somersaults, walk the tight-rope,
dive from great heights TO a net, ride
races upon each others backs, are
clothed in miniature garments and ape
the manners of their human compan-
ions and among them are the most
comIcal clown comedians who keep the
audience in a continual up-roar of
laughter by their absurdly grotesque
sense of humor.
There are over three hundred per-
forming SHETLAND ponies, educated
dogs, acrobatic monkeys and riding
goats with the Cozad show and the
deep intelligence shown by these clever
scholars is vastly interesting, enter
tanning and of more than passing edu-
cational value. This will be the only
show of it's nature to exhibit here this
season so advantage should be taken of
that fact. Cozad's California Animal
circus travel in their own train and
exhibit under their own huge circus
tents. The prices are very moderate
so that all children may attend. Two
performances will be given and at their
conclusion the little ones will be given
free rides on the Shetland ponies and
win be personally introduced to the
performing pets. There will be a free
street parade at noon.
