camp Wednesday last and is now being
installed at the Gold Bar mines. A full
force OF men is employed and the work
is going forward double shift at three
different points on the ledge. New
ground was opened from what is called
the old incline at a depth of AZ feet and
the most astonishing tales are told re-
garding the gold values found at this
point. Rumor has it that paintings are
made running from the hundreds we'll

but is entirely satisfied that it is good
enough.
Original Bullfrog Mines Syndicate.
Late news from this property is most
satisfactory. The work on the lowest
levels is progressing favorably and the
showing in the mine improves each day.
The work of blocking out ore is being
pushed vigorously and the punches of
very high grade ore get larger and more
frequent each week. The entire ledge,
fully 80 feet wide, ls a low grade milling
ore that will average $25, and by actual
measurement there is 81 1000, 600 in
sight. Recently enough rich ore was
sacked at the mine in three days to
meet the months pay roll. About 2OO,--
600 shares of this stock has been acquired
by a strong San Francisco syndicat e
which was organized by Milton M.
Detch. George w. Pierce, a we'll known
the property and has a good force Of
miners on development work.
Shoshone- Bullfrog.
W. /. Booth, who is president of the
Shoshone : Bullfrog Mining company,
spent a few days in Goldtield and re-
turned to Bullfrog yesterday: He re-
ports that development work on the
shaft is progressing well and that a tun-
mel will be started within a few days.
The property owned by this company is
situated about 1000 feet northeast of
the Shoshone mine and is thought to be
on the trend OF the big Shoshone ledge.
Strike Southwest Of Ida.
C. M. Dunwody and P. S. Pankey,
two we'll known prospectors, have struck
it rich % miles southwest OF Ida, IN
Inyo County. California. They staked
two claims on a ledge that crops out for
a distance of 5000 feet, with an average
width of 10 feet, and it all appears to be
ore. George Lewis visited the find Sat-
urdav and secured an option on the two
Iodes. He took three samples and had
them tested here. No. l. taken across
the entire 10 feet, went 81 90 in gold n
5000 in silver; No. 2, on a 24-lnch
streak showed a gold value OF $500, sill
yer. sos. 20; and No. 8, from sorted ore
went $50. 60 gold, $1.1S0.6S silver; total,
81, 231. 28. The owners on picked sam
ples showed him certificates running as
high as s 6 5000 in gold and silver. There
is an abundance of water and timber,
and Mr.. Lewis is sanguine of making a
mine out of the prospects.

SWEATERS FOR SWELL DOGS
Pampered Pet "Purps" of the Haute
Ton Have New Wrinkle
in Clothes.

Dog sweaters are the "latest thing in
canine clothes, now that some of the
coolest weather of the season has ar
rived, says the Philadelphia Press.
They are not the old-fashioned blan-
kets, made in the many different styles
of the past dozen years, but knit sweat
ers made with as much care, apparently,
as those the athletic girl wears while
skating on the park lakes.
But these sweaters are just now. in
tended for the dog that goes riding with
his mistress in an automobile. For this
purpose the aforesaid mistress discov-
cred that the blanket, no matter how
tightly it fitted dear Fido," was not
sufficient to keep him warm in the cold
air that whizzes past the occupants of
an automobile as they dash along the
Lancaster pike. So she had the sweater
knit for him, and the question of how
the dog was to be kept warm was solved.
Only few of the new kind of dog
clothes" have been made as yet, but, as
one fair automobilist expressed it, "the
fashion is growing"

Odor of Pickpockets.

eff you detect strong odor of garlic
in trolley car, keep your hand on your
watch said a Central Office detective
yesterday. cts new dodge of the pick
pockets to use garlic to help them in
separating watches, pins and pocket
books from their owners. Two of the
light-fngered gentry usually work to-
gether in a crowded car. One of them
munches on the strongest kind of garlic
and then gets alongside the intended
victim. The victim naturally turns his
head to avoid the odor, and the pick
pocket takes the pin or whatever he is
after and passes 1t to his confederate,
who leaves the car at the next corner II
the victim should discover his loss soon
afterward, the man Of the garlic is prob
ably arrested, but the loot is not found
on him and he is invariably allowed to

THIS JOB NO ONE WANTS.
Pumping Wind for Big Church Or
gans That Are Being Installed
in Country Towns.

There is an odd job In the country
towns that no one seems to want, says
the Chicago tribune
It is the pumping Of wind for the big
church organs that many of the
churches are now buying. No one con-
nected with a church organization
likes to sit behind the big instrument.
out OF view of the congregation and
turn crank that grinds out long and
short meter tunes. Nobody out Of the
church has a hankering for such a
means Of making stipend twice day
once a week.
So the churches have to provide wa
ter motors and other kinds Of power.
This may furnish another use of the
trolley lines. They may be able to
sell the power that grinds their car
cogs to the churches to grind their big
musical instruments.
Not long ago a water motor that was
utilized in an Illinois church was pow
erless because the water supply had
been shut off. No one could be Sc
cured to turn the crank by hand, so
a small cottage organ was borrowed
from a neighbor, the tunes were sung
to the music of this modest instrument
and the congregation seemed to like
the good old way best

RETURN MARRIAGE LICENSE
Disappointed Bridegrooms Take Them
Back and Want Their
Money.

A marriage license, according to the
man who issues them down at the
courthouse, is no sure indication that
there is going to be a wedding, says
the Kansas City Journal
Not infrequently unused marriage
licenses are returned" said the de-
putty recorder. Some of the disap-
pointed bridegrooms want to know If
they can't get their money back
don't know what the law provides in q
case Of this kind. but T should think
that if fellow buys marriage IL
cense and then loses the girl, he ought
to have the fee rufunded.
1T is hard to tell why some OF these
marriages fail to transpire." continued
the deputy. 81 have never had occa-
sion to investigate any Of these. Of
course. Some fellows, believe, buy a
marriage license without consulting
the girl, thinking that the sight Of the
document might bring her to time. In
some instances, I suppose, the girl
changes her mind. would say that a
majority Of these failures can be put
down to the parents of either the pros
pective bride or bridegroom. The cou-
pie may decide to get married, the man
will come down here and get the IL
cense, and when the question is popped
to the old folks there is such a siren
uous objection, that all vows are de-
clared off,

STREETS REALLY WASHED.


An example of what can be &C
complished by honest endeavor,
controlled by scientific knowl-
edge, in the administration of af-
fairs concerning the public is fur
nished by the work of Street
Cleaning Commissioner John NJ.
Woodbury., of New York, says
American Medicine.
Not satisfied with the old and
inefficient method Of cart sprin-
king and sweeping, he introduced
the plan Of washing the streets by
means of compressed air ma
chimes, or with hose from the by
drants. Instead of laying the
dust by sprinkling, he says the
streets should be washed so clean
there will be no dust.
During the last year an average
of so miles of street has been
washed daily, between the hours
of one and four O'Clock in the
morning. By washing, DIR. Wood
bury means applying the water
with sufficient force to remove the
gum which clings to the surface
of the asphalt; this, he says, is the
only sanitary way to clean such
pavement.
The proof of his assertion is
found, not only in the comparative
freedom from dust but also in a
more positive way by bacteriolog-
ist tests. The latter show that
bacteria are very largely removed
from the streets by washing them
as described.
An agar plate exposed at a
point in Fifth avenue just after
the passage of a sprinkling wagon
developed 460 colonies of bacteria.
A second plate exposed at the
same place for an equal time after
approved flushing of the street
showed only ten colonies.
Another proof of the efficacy
of the plan adopted is the low
death rate in the part of the city
which has been so cleaned for a
considerable period Of time.

KEEPING "JoHN" AT HOME.
Wife of Clubman Solves Problem of
Making Fireside Attractive
for Spouse.

Less than two years after his
marriage Gayman began to over
look his promise to stay away
from the club after he reached
home at night, says the New York
Times. At first he moved eau
tiously, pleading business ap-
pointment there and promising to
be back in an hour. Soon that
promise began to slip his mind,
and he came home at all hours.
He did not even give an excuse for
going. Mrs. Gayman did not rush
home to her mother. She did not
appeal to his mother. She played
her own game. One evening.
when Gayman showed no inclina-
ton to leave the house, she said /:
|. "John, dear, you'll be late at the
club"
Glow do you know Pm going?"
he asked:
''Not going? Oh,"-afecting
intense confusion-..it would be
most awkward, that is-but of
course you're going"
''Well," he replied, "I must just
run around, for l have an appoint
ment. But shall be back in two
hours"
He was back in one hour, and
seemed astonished to find his wife
alone, reading. He was glum all
the evening, showing frequent dis
position to go out again. But the
same game has worked ever
since.

''What's the matter with Barton

hattened out some of our wheat, we
are entering on an era of almost. <un-
precedented prosperity. According
to the official report of Station Agent
T. B. Jennings ofthe Kansas Weather
Service, even if our wheat has suffered
some injury, he says, ''corn is coming
up well; alfalfa is nearly ready to cut;
cattle are in pasture and doing well.
Even if high winds have swept us
they have brought on their wings but
little ill-luck. Kansas as whole,
and Barton County included, is on an.
era of prosperous times. Not a
blamed thing?
