In the Tonopah Midway. From the
Tonopah Sun an authentic account can
be cleaned The paper says
The famous Mcdonald ledge, or one
quite as good has been struck In the
Tonopah Midway mine. The mine now
is looked upon as in every respect the
equal OF the Montana-T onopah or the
TonOpah Extension. In one streak the
assays, from sources that are undoubt-
aoly reliable, have been learned to av-
erage $500 per ton for four feet in width

A representative OF the sun visited

BUSINESS NOTES.

The storms Of the past few days have
been Of value beyond computing to
local industries. and there is a more
cheerful feeling throughout business
circles on account Of the rains and

around sugar circles. Adyices from

Falls and Sugar City are to the effect
that last years acreage OF beets, SUI
perb as It was, will fall far into the
shade before the record OF 1906. The
heaviest gains are booked at Garland
and in the two Idaho factories, where the
farmers are contracting In a way most
gratifying to the sugar people, and the
number OF acres already signed up is
beyond the most sanguine expectations.

Quainted through a card placed by Miss

letter of inquiry developed a regular
correspondence and Miss George meet

and Miss George was watching them.
She had several cards bearing her
name and address In her nanu. ana on

laughingly. Lets see what comes of
it,
Charles Dunton had gone TO Alaska

Dawson gold fields. After a year OF
vain prospecting he struck a rich vein
OF ore in Delomi, and. now Is many
times a millionaire. He happened TO
catch sight OF the card when his work.
men cut open the bale. He placed the
little slip OF paper In his pocket, and,
being OF q sentimental turn OF mind, a
few days later he wrote to Miss George.
In his he explained how he had come
into possession OF her name and adj
dress. asserting that he wrote In good
faith and saying he was prepared to
furnish testimonials as TO his charac-
ter. He asked for Miss George TO re-
ply.
After several weeks of hesitation,
Miss George wrote. and by return mai!
came a letter from Dunton. giving a
picturesque description OF life in Alas-
ka. He asked that Miss George tell of
life in the east. a section OF the coun-
try that he never had visited. The cor
re~spondence was kept up a year, when
Dunton requested Miss Georges photo

ton said he would come east. He vas

his mother died. and he had to forego
the visit. More letters passed between
the couple. and last a photographs

teen states, while In a blue field there
were thirteen white stars. A change
was made in the flag, dating from May
/, 1898, by adding W more stripes
and two more stars for Kentucky and
Vermont, which had been admitted to
the union, and Ii was decided also TO
add a stripe and a star for each state
to be admitted In the future. Congress,
however, fo-esaw that the added stripes
would make the flag too large and on
April A, 1878, IL passed a resolution FIX
ing the number OF stripes at thirteen,
and the number OF stars at n for
each state. So now, anybody who de-
sires TO know how man states there
are in the union has only TO count the
number OF stars IN old glory.

men in Alaska. This was the first in

off from her relatives, friends and en-
ployers. Among many presents were a
cedar chest. a family heirloom, filed
with fine linen, the gift of her grand
mother.
When she alighted in Seattle she
wore by appointment a ~raincoat with
a red, white and blue ribbon bow in the
left lapel. Dunton wore a raincoat
with a similar bow. The recognition
was mutual and instantaneous. Dun
ton escorted the young woman TO the
Grand Northern hotel, and on the fol-
lowing day proposed marriage. They
were welded on January 8, and a cou-
pie OF days later sailed for Delomi. The
relatives of Miss George were informed
of the wedding by telegraph, but not
u1.til this morning were the details re-
ceived in a letter from the bride, which
she mailed In Alaska.
Mrs. Dunton saws she is supremely
happy. Her every wish is gratified, she
writes, and her husband is a devout
Christian. Her letter ends with the
statement that in a few months Dun
ton will sell out his interests in Alaska
and return TO Los Angeles, Cal, to live.

Why More Showers in the Afternoon

why more showers IN the Afternoonl
New Orleans Times Democrat: Did
you EVER stop to think about the fact
hat we have more showers in the
afternoon than we have in the morning,
and the causes which bring about this
RESULT" asked a man who takes an in
terest in meteorological questions.
THE chief factor Is the upward
movement OF the air which is brought
about by heat. You see In clear
weather the heat IL not at Its height
until after midday. The changes which
set In as a result OF the air movement
In the afternoon, and the gradual with
drawal OF the suns force as the orb
rolls down toward the western horizon
will bring about just those conditions
favorable to the production OF show
ers, and the next result is the show
ers W. SO often experience In the after
noon.
There seems to be in this, as in all
OF natures plans, a fine wisdom. II
would be impossible TO measure the
