A Kind voice,

THERE'S no power Of love so hard to
get and to keep as a kind voice. A
kind hand Is deaf and dumb. 1t may
be rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work Of soft heart and do it with y
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love 80 much needs as a sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels,
and It is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone. One must start in youth
and be on the watch night and day, at
work and at play, to get and keep Il
voice that shall speak at all times the
thoughts OF kind heart. It is often III
youth that one gets a voice or a tone
that is sharp, and it sticks to him
through life and stirs up i'll will and
grief and falls like a drop of gall on
the sweets of home. Watch it day by
day as pearl Of great price, for it will
be worth more to you in days to come
than the best pearl hid in the seas. A
kind voice is to the heart what light is
70 the eye. 1t is light that sings as
well as shines.-Elihu Burritt.

Italian Country Dance.

In Italy when the country men and
women dance together the first thing
they do is to toss off their shoes, if they
wear any. A man does not go up to
girl and ask if she will dance, but he
fixes his eye upon her from distance
and mods. She mods in return, and
then both kick on their shoes. advance
toward each other and begin to dance.

EUREKA is WARMING UP
Everybody Predicts the End of
Dull Times on the Base Range
Good Progress Made Samp-
ling the Ores and Stag Dumps.

The people directly interested in the
deal for some Of the Eureka aud Ruby
Hill mining properties have not yet
given out anything for publication, and
the tides Of fortune Of the old camp are
watched with eager interest. Reports
and rumors are flying thick and fast,
some having no foundations, while
others will seemingly stand the test of
time for development. But with all
there is a feeling that the hour of Eu-
reka's awakening is heal at hand.
The activity around the Eureka Con-
solidated aud the Richmond properties
proves conclusively that the work of as
certainipg to what extent the ores and
slags may be made to serve present ie-
minds is being conducted deliberately
aud with determination. A force Of
eight men are working in the Rich.
mond. constructing new ladders and
oiling up the old machinery for tenn
porary use, and the samplers are now
exploring the lower levels of the mine.
There are four men employed getting
out samples from the Richmond Stag
dumps in Eureka. aud the assay office
is kept busy assaying the samples form
the mines and the dump.
Last Saturday Foreman Spencer Rey-
nolds notified all the tributers working
in the Eureka Consolidated and Rich
mond mines to clean up their pitches
and be ready to quit and vacate in
ten days.
Speaking Of the United States field
men who visited Eureka two weeks
ago. the Salt Lake Tribune of Sept. 20
says:
IL is assumed that foundation for an.
other company tracing its ~parentage to
the United States Mining Company is
being laid in the old camp of Eureka,
Nevada. from which so many millions
have been derived, or il not that the
management of the United States
Smelling Company detects in the ores
and slags remaining there material
that shall simplify the reduction of
other material. Managing Director
Holden is now in California, nor is it
likely that the presence of his COM.
pany's representatives in the region will
be discussed until the Board has been
summoned and a vote polled on the
question Of publicity.
