RICH MINING STRIKE.
A Discovery, Which It Made 10 ToaQah Moal'
Create Great Excitement

H. q. Wedekind, who last Winter
discovered gold ledge in the range
of hills about nine miles northeast
of Yerington, has opened up the
property to an extent which shows
that it valuable piece of ground.
Mr.. Wedekind has interested with
him his brother, L. G. Weekend, 81.
]. Darling and G. S. James, all OF
Reno. There are three claims in the
group and good lodges show up on
all of them. On the main ledge,
which runs from eighteen inches to
three feet in width, an incline has
been sunk to depth of fifty feet,
following the ledge. At depth OF
twenty-five feet in this incline a
drift has been run twenty-six feet
in ore that averages $36 in gold clear
across the ledge. A rich vein it the
ledge gives returns of S74 per ton.
At the bottom of the incline another
drift has been started to catch the
ledge from above. The drift will
have to be extended forty feet to do
this, and this work Mr.. Wedekind
intends to prosecute unless he makes
sale of the property. Salt Lake
people, who recently examined the
property, have been given a short
option on it, and if they fail to come
to time a San Francisco company
stands ready to do business with the
owners. The ore in the mine car
ries small percentage of silver and
is perfectly free milling from all
appearances. The property is stu
ated within a short distance of the
G. & G. railroad and water is abun-
dant nearby. Such property as
this, were it located near Tonopah
or Goldfeld, wovld be snapped up in
a minute, company organized and
the stock listed, and the ground
around the claims would be located
for miles adjacent. 1t may be that
quite an excitment will occur in this
district when the news of this dis
covery gets circulated abroad.

Snakes.

Snakes have their usefulness in the
world. They are the seayengers of
lswamps and morasses where other ami
mails Of size are unable to penetrate or
to exist. It is in the tropics of course
that serpents chiefly abound. All
snakes are of tropical origin, but some
species have spread into cooler lati-
tudes. In very cold countries there are
mo snakes Contrary to the popular
belief, there are some snakes in Ire
land, but they are very rare. The
smallest serpents in the world are the
worn snakes" of the tropics They
are about as big as fair sized earth
worms. Some snakes lay eggs, while
others bring forth their young alive.
In the latter category are vipers, rat
,tlesnakes and nearly all water snakes.
Pythons incubate their eggs after lay

Tides.


The fo.lQwtirg is given ip brief as the
theory most generally .entertaiaed by
scientists, with a few exceptions, con-
corning tides: 1t Is assumed that the
moon, acting alone, would not only
raise a wave on the side Of the earth
nearest to it by grayitation, but would
also draw the earth itself far enough
out Of it's course to leave behind some
Of the water on the farther side, which
water would then be raised relatively to
the earth's surface and constitute the
second tidal wave. The sun alone
would act similarly, although it's tide
raising effect is only about two-fifths
that of the moon. Now, at new. moon
The sun and moon spull together and
give higher tides than at the first and
third quarters, when the sun draws it's
right angles to the line Of the moons
attraction, and at full moon, when the
sun is on the opposite SIDE Of the earth
from the moon, virtually the same eff
feet Is observed as at new moon, but
the double tide raising action of the
sun would again be superimposed on
that Of the moon and give tides on OPP
posite sides as high as those a fortnight
before.

the offensive word than Hill, picking
up an inkstand, hurled it with great

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 a
girl and ask if she will dance, but he
fixes his eye upon her from a distance
and mods. She mods in return, and
then both kick off their shoes, advance
toward each other and begin to dance.

5000 sheep were put IN on the

going to market. During the
summer the flock has increased
to about 5000 and the entire |, t
will be shioEeI to the yards,
making about 35 cars in all.
The owners of the sheep were
greatly pleased with the expert
ment of feeding them on cut-ovef
lands. The sheep gained splend-
idly during the summer AM are
in us fine condition as sheep
could be, the experts say. They
have been free from disease and
in good condition all the season.
1T is expected that bhe owners OF
this FLOCK will repeat the expert
anent next summer and herd a
Large flock ia the valley.
The business of fattening sheep
on the cut-over lands is scarcely
an ext e -iment now, it having
been tried with success fol
several years. It has been found
that the s1leep thus. ted make
.excellent mutton and do well n
fattening. And what is Of equal
Importance to the valley, they
do a large amount of work Of
grabbing and clearing the lands
and making the ground ready
for the farmer. It is expected
that for some time, or at least
until the bulk Of the cpt-over
lands are reduced to plowed
fields, the business will increase
The demand for lamb and NUT
ron as a meal is steadily increas-
ing and as the western sheep
pastures are decreasing it makes
it possible that the cut-over
lands will receive the benefits Of
the sheep as well as the savings
