The fact Is that, as every observant
medical practitioner sooner or later
realizes, there is no great difference
of the kind that theories of birth
assume between one man and another.
The basis OF this fact, no doubt, is
that the whole population of this coun-
try Is so mixed and so connected by mar

pride himself or herself on ancestry Is q

WATER ON LUXURY LIST.
tioldfeld Water Company Raises
Rates Fifty Per Cent.

The Goldfield Water Company has
announced an increase in rates, be-
ginning July 1, Of 80 per cent. The
circular announcing the increase says
the Company has been unable to meet
its current expenses or make necessary
improvements, and that for these rea.
sons higher rates are necessary.
At present the meter rate is one cent
a gallon and the fiat rates are in pro-
norton. Consumers are not allowed to
waste water or give it away under
penalty of having their supply shut off.
The circular calls attention to these
rules and warns customers that no
water must be given to persons who do
not patronize the Company.
The increase in the rate has caused
the greatest indignation among resi-.
dents Of that place. They will give
their hearty support to any competition
of the present company which furnishes
water to the Goldfield district, but on

which is to extend from Las Vegas on
the Clark road to Bullfrog and Death
Valley, is now graded 40 miles out of
Las Vegas and several large forces of
men are rushing the work westward
with all possible speed. The engineers
say the steel will soon be received and
by Fall the road will be in operation.
The main line strikes directly toward
Death Valley. where the Smith borax

will run to Bullfrog and next year will
be carried to Tonopah and Goldfield.
The track will be standard gauge and

corporation will take over splendid
piece Of property, embracing the entire
Pahranagat Valley, situated some 80
miles from Caliente and 80 miles from

The property consists of over 5000
acres and was purchased recently by
J. P. Gardner and his brother, Frank
L. Gardner of Salt Lake. The ranch
was formerly known as the Eiseman
ranch and in addition to this property
the Gardner brothers have taken up all
the remaining State lands in the valley.
This Spring $50 acres were put into
alfalfa and in addition 600 fruit trees
have been planted and men are now
busy planting nursery of English wal
nut trees which, it is believed, will
flourish in that section. Two and one-
half carloads of lumber have also been
sent down for building purposes. From
reports received the alfalfa goes eight
tons to the acre, while corn grows l2
feet in height and yields from 70 to 70
bushels per acre. Mr.. Gardner stated
that when he was there last year the
fourth crop of alfalfa reached nearly to
his waist. The prize stock purchased
at the State Fair last October and

TESTS TO DETERMINE ORES.
Simple Methods for Finding Metal
lie Contents of Rock.

The following simple tests will show
whether an ore carries precious metals.
Following this process samples of the
rock should be assayed to ascertain the
amount of value per ton.
GOld-Powder roast, If sulphurets
are present; grind very fine and wash
in pan or spoon examine with lens
yellow particles not soluble in nitric
acid. The color of pure gold is bright
yellow, tinged with red. Gold may be
distinguished from all other metals or
alloys by the following simple traits:
1t is yellow, malleable, not acted upon
by nitric acid.
Silver-Pure silver is the brightest Of
metals. of beautiful white color and
rich luster.
Chloride of Silver-If suspected in
pulp, harshly rub a bright wet copper
cartridge thereon. If a chloride, or
chloride-bromide, of silver, it will
whiten the copper. Graphite will thus
whiten copper or gold. but can be
rubbed off.
COpper-After roasting the pulp init
mately. mix and we'll knead with a like
quantity of salt and candle grease or
any other fat, and cast into the fire.
When the characteristic colors-first
blue, then green-will appear. This
test is better made at night.
Galena-Black zinc is often mistaken
for galena. The two may be dis
tinguished by the infallible sign: The
powder of galena is black that Of
blende, brown or yellow.
