TOLL ROAD FOR
SOUTHERN
COUNTRY
WORK ALMOST FINISHED
B. F. Miller Is the Protector of
the New Undertaking Which Has
for Its Object the Carrying Of
Freight from Los Vegas

Is. +. Miller, who is chiefly
noted for the many diverse ac-
tivities he has been engaged in.
is promoting new scheme in
the southern mining country
which is entirely different from
any thing he has yet attempted
The last legislature granted him
the right to construct and main
tain II toll road between Las
Vegas and Bullfrog. a distance
of l29 miles.
During the past two months
Mr.. Miller has been deyoting his
time toward all the minor details
in the construction of the new
undertaking. AT the outset
many obstacles interferred with
the carrying out of his plans, bnt
with his interchangeable vigor he
has succeeded in overcoming
them.
The land most suitable for the
construction of such a road was
decided upon after u close exam
nation of all the surrounding
country, and it was found that
the distance between the two
towns had been shortened con-
siderably. When this work had
been disposed of, the building of
of the road next came up forcon
sideration. In this task a large
force of men have been employed
constantly for the past three
months. Scrapers, immense
shovels and other machinery
used in construction work have
been utilized by those in charge
of ..this work. Several tons of
rock have been removed from
the road bed and, as the manage.
ment desired to have the shortest
road between Las Vegas and
Bullfrog, they found it necessary
to grade the road in several
places. The road bed is forty
seven feet wide through it's en-
tire length and is modern in ev-
cry respect. Travellers will not
be compelled to encounter the
desert sands which prevail i'm
that region, as that hindrance
has been removed on this new
road. Mr.. Miller stated in Ely last
week that the road would be open
for travel within Il week.
Mr.. Miller expects to engage
in the freighting business on an
extensive scale in that locality
Thirty two head OF horses for
use on the new road and eight
stage coaches have been con
signed to Las Vegas. The com
pany is erecting a large ware
house in Las Vegas which will
be capable Of holding all the
freight the company expects to
handle. A hotel will be built
half way between Las Vegas and
Bullfrog for the accommodation
of transients and patrons of the
road.
TRANSPORTATION facilities in the
southern mining regions are not
of the best, and employment is
assured to all transfers who APP
ply for work. The prevailing
rates are from 3 cents to A cents
per pound. The toll rate over
the new road for an eight horse
team will be SIS, and water will
be provided free at the different
points along the route.

The gardener carefully scrutiniEed

are the seeds Of the 'Polpus fnsamus,
a very rare tropical plant"
"How long will they be coming upT'
Meissonier asked, with chuckle of sup

About fortnight" was the reply.
Two weeks later the guests were
again assembled at Meissonier's table
and after dinner the gardener was an

The gardener lifted glass shade and
disclosed to view a small bed with
three rows Of picked behring's heads

laughed. Meissonier dismissed the
gardener on the spot, but took him on
again next day.

THE DANCE IN SPAIN.
IL In am Essential Part of the Life O.
the Pa0nIA

IL LIN am Essential Part of the Life eff
the People.
Dancing is a universal instinct with
Spanish women. The great annual feria
at Seville is largely an orgy Of dancing.
AS evening approaches everywhere one
begins TO hear the sound Of castanets
and to see the gracious movements Of
the seeuidilla, the universal Andalu-
sian dance.
But the fundamental instincts of the
Spaniald for dancing and the serious
and profound way in which 1t express
es the temperament Of the people are
perhaps shown by nothing else so
much as by the existence Of religious
dancing in Spain. At the time of st.
Thomas of Villaneuva, bishop of Va
lencia, it was customary to dance be-
fore the sacred elements in the church
es of Seville, Toledo, Jerez and Valen-
cha. Religious dancing continued to be
common In Catalonia and in Roussillon
1.-THE most Spanish of the French prov
inces) up to the seventeenth century.
But real and unique survival Of re
ligious dancing is the dance Of the
seises in Seville cathedral. when the
chorlsters, wearing the same costume
as they were 400 years ago, perform a
dance to the accompaniment Of casta-
nets in the space between the high al
tar and the choir.
Dancing is something more than an
amusement in Spain. 1t is part of that
solemn ritual which enters into the
whole life of the people.-Twentieth

RELIGIOUS TATTOoING.


A Custom That Is In Vogue In One
Part of Italy.
In the vanity" section Of a museum
at Florence there is an interesting col
lection of blocks used for what Is call
ed religious tattooing" among Italian
peasants Of the district inclosed be-
tween the Abruzzi, Umbria and the
Adriatic.
Peasants in these parts at work with
shirt sleeves rolled up display Chris
tan symbol of some sort or text tat
tooed In blue ink on their brown skin.
This has been imprinted on the occa-
sion Of some special festival.
A wooden block is pressed upon the
tightly drawn skin to mark the out
lines of the design. This is then pune
tured, and a blue ink is rubbed into
the wounds, which usually heal In
about twenty-four hours. The custom,
which is essentially Christian, Is In
commemoration Of the branding Of St
Francis, who founded a monastery
close to Loretto.-LondOn Telegraph.
