ANOTHER NEVADA GOLD STRIKE.
Many Rich Veins Are Found in RhyOlite
blk Mining Men Buy.


GoLDF1ELD, New, June Uncomfortable
excitement exists in Rhyolite, the new me-
tropolis Of the Bull Frog mining district,
seventy miles south Of here, over the pur-
chase there In the last few days of big gold
mine prospects by United States Senators
George s. Nixon, w. A. Clark, Kearns and
William Scallon, formerly president Of the
Anaconda Copper Company; James Farrell
Of the Daly-West mine Of Park City. Utah.
and w. " Rice Of the Daly-West.
Five million dollars has changed hands
in week in mining deals, and mining men
here say the music has just commenced.
A shipment made from the Montgomery
Shoshone mine, near Rhyolite, yielded
81, 800 a ton and on Bonanza Mountain
a mile away, ten distinct gold bearing veins
have been uncovered in a fortnight that
pan gold at every point and are traced
on the surface for thousands Of feet.
James Farrell one of the owners Of the
Daly-West mine Of Park City, Utah. has pur-
chased 1875 acres on Bonanza Mountain for
himself and partners. including W. V. Rice
Farrell before leaving Goldfield on his way
back to Salt Lake City said
You go into new mining camp and you
always expect to hear reports Of rich strikes
and great values and as a rule when you
come to trace them down not one fourth is
found to be true. In the Bull Frog district
it is very different. Nothing that have
read OF the country has done justice to it..
1t is impossible to exaggerate the surface
indications there. Mr.. Shockley. a mining
engineer, told me that il would 20 down
there he would show me more gold on the
surface than ever saw in a mining camp,
and he has certainly done so.
"On Bonanza Mountain there are half a
dozen or more well defined veins and every
one carries values and rich values. Every
vein shows free gold, ore rock that will
pan gold"

But hold a grip upon your nerve and
don't look back
When rest the darkest clouds OF life the

A remarkable fact about this In.
genious and now most accurate
weapon is that down to the present
war there had been no instance of a
ship under way being struck by a tor
pedo. All its victims had been caught
at anchor OF were otherwise station
airy. And, from the best information
available, the same thing has hap
pened between Russia and Japan. Now
the question arises: If the torpedo
boat, which has power to catch the
hare, cannot cook him, how is the
cooking to be lone by the submarine,
which can neither see him nor catch
him? The design certainly is to use
the submarine against ships under
way to replace the torpedo boat, which
cannot act in daylight. And it is an
open question, which experience alone
can decide, whether it will be easier
for a submarine to catch the hare by
day than it has hitherto proved for the
torpedo boat to catch him by night.
Certainly enthusiasts will be by no
means satisfied If the submarine
proves capable merely of attack on
ships at anchor.-London Review.

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
Growing Old Is Largely a Habit Of
Mind, Says Writer.

mlnOy Gays WTfNcTs
How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel. That's
wrong, says a writer in the New York
Times. A man and woman are as old
as they take themselves to be.
Growing old is largely a habit of the
mind. AS a mar thinketh in his
heart so is he" If he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old.
To keep ones self from d~ecrepitude
is somewhat a matter of will power.
The fates are kind to the man who
hangs on to life with both hands. He
who lets go will go. Death is slow only
to tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched the wrong
place for the fountain of youth. 1t is
in ones self. One must keep ones
self young inside. So that, while 'the
outer nan perisheth, the inner man is
renewed day by day"
When the human mind ceases to
exert itself, when there is no longer
an active interest in the affairs of this
life, when the human stops reading
and thinking and doing, the man, like
a blasted tree, begins to die at the
top.
You are as old as you think you are.
Keep the harness on. Your job is not
done.
