the bishop disdained them all He had had
enough of vegetables for long time. He found
the meat much more to his taste.
His host, who did not know that he had aban-

"Why, bishop, 1 thought you were vege-

Bishop Elder laughed.

SILVER KING SOLD.

An important deal has just been
closed for the Silver King group of six
claims seven miles southeast of Beatty
and adjoining the Decilion on the
southeast, says the Beatty Bullfrog
Miner. There is a regular quartz
lode on the property. An assay has
been obtained as high as $54S on the
Ida claim. An average assay on six
veins on the group went $115. S. Nc
Eachen of the Sunday-Nevada group
negotiated the deal, the buyers being
himself and prominent eastern men,
one an ex-United States treasurer and
two ~ex-governors of Ohio. The pre-
vious owners were j. j. Brogan, Fred
Sweeney and Fred Burner of Beatty,
who received part cash and part stock

ORE EXHIBIT.

N. NJ. Simons, L. O. Ray, Peter A.
Busch and Sam Lindsay have been ap-
pointed a committee by the Rhyolite
town board to prepare an ore ehibit
from mines of the Bullfrog district to
be displayed at Goldfeld during the
Railroad Carnival, September Is, 10
and IL, says the Rhyolite Herald. Mr..
Simons is making assays of the ore to
be exhibited and viii placard each
sack with figures showing the value of
the ore. Considerable high grade,
showing free gold, will be included,
and quite a large quantity of the mill
ing ores will be shown. The committee
invites everyone interested to assist
in securing the ore, all of which must
be shipped before September 18th.
II. III. Hill, of Mining Topics, expects
to secure the exhibit after the carni-
val and take the same to San Francisco
for a permanent exhibit of Bullfrog
district ores.

DENVER IN GREAT ORE.

The Denver is screening and sacking
nearly a ton of high grade ore per day
1T is estimated that most of this will
run from $500 to 5000 per ton. About
$40 sacks, averaging about 100 pounds
each, is piled on the dump, says the
Bullfrog Miner.
A shipment is being made ready and

James Weller Of Telluride, Colorado,
father of Earl C. Weller, who was lost
in Death Valley about July /, who
with John Mullan has been searching
that district for some trace of the mis-
sing man, returned to Bullfrog Mon
day. Mr.. Weller is satisfied that his
son is dead and that there was no foul
play in connection with the matter.
The party visited the Grapevine
ranch where seven of the burros owned
by the lost men were secured. The
%carcasses of the dead ones were also
found. There are still nine burros to
be accounted for and no trace what.

Mr.. Weller returned to his Colorado
home this week fully satisfied that the
missing men are lost beyond recall.

I N OF AUSTRALIA.

Since gold was first found in Aus
tralia the amount which has been pro-
duced is said to exceed in value over
f450, 900 ($2, 1s9, 925, 0OO). In the
early days of gold mining the leases
We're registered in the warden's office
in the fields. but now they have in
most states to be registered at the
principal town or seat of government,
where there is a mining department.
Those who desire to become leasehold-
ers must peg off their ground in the
first instance, and after a certain date
application must be made to have the
mine registered, when certain fees
have to be paid for survey and rent
in advance. Before the mine is finally
registered a notice is posted, so that
if anyone has any objections he can
lodge them. After the specified time
the application comes before the war
den, who a grant or refuse the reg
istration. If granted, the registration
is published in the Government Ga
zette and posted to every mining reg
istrar throughout the state.
The labor conditions in Australia
are stringent for gold mining, as one
man must be employed for every five
acres, but for other minerals it is more
liberal. These conditions must be com
piled with or the lease is forfeited.
In some states exemption is retrospee-
tive. in accordance with the work
done and the amount of capital which
has been expended. The mines IN Ans
tralia are all leasehold and subject TO
conditions liked by the government of
the different states.

N N

Here is a fine point hat too many
investors canno see. II is c~ontended,
and reasonably, too, that there have
been more frauds in "mining'' than
in many or most other lines. But the
mining used by the people who perpe-
trated the frauds, was mining in name
not in reality.
This being the case, why should min.
ing be selected as the scapegoat for
all the fakirs who have utilized IL as
"a means to a given endf
The answer is simple: MINING
PAYS. If it didn't pay; if it were
not capable of great earnings, it would
be the last thing on earth that the
fakirs would choose for their eek
cuse." They never think of floating
a wholesale or retail store proposition,
because they know that five or ten per
cent is all one can hope for in a sue
~cessful mercantile enterprise, and if it
is not a failure, it is a wonderl They
do not take to agriculture, because
they know that one year is about the
same as another on the farm. They do
not look toward manufacturing, be-
cause there is always that element Of
competition, and the increase in the
sales means so many more good hard
dollars. But mining pays' That is
an excuse that suits the fakir well.
Some time, men and women who in
vest will begin to learn that real min
ing and graft mining are widely sep
arated. Tourists come out into the
mountain regions, and when they begin
to see prospect holes, their hearts beat
fast. When they see the mills and
smelters, the dumps and shaft houses,
they are afire with a desire to possess
some part of it. When they are told
that ''yonder mine' has paid two mil
lion dollars, and when they see what
an ordinary looking building the shaft
house is, they want to get into the
business. Maybe they have cursed
mining for years; maybe they have
damned it until they have nearly
choked with rage, while all the time
their grievance was against fakirs and
not against mining.
Limitation is the sincerest lattery''
we are told, and what has been imitat-
ed more than mining? Would mining
have been co~uterfeitted had Il not
been so rich and good and 50 filled
with possibilities
Let reason take the place of blind
prejudice. Let those who have lost
money ascertain if it was in mining
or in tales of mining.
Mining is a business that has built
many m~illionaires; it has made Others
comfortably wealthy, and to hundreds
of thousands it has returned much
more than the original investment.
Because of these facts, mining is
used as a e for that nefarious
following that does its stopping wholly
in the purses of its victimsl- Daily
