Many Persons of All Sorts of Ways Of
Living Pass the Century MART

New York Tribune: Ever since the
days of the many-centuried p~atriarchs
mankind has evinced great interest in
those III have passed the usual limits
of life. The disposition to calculate
and speculate as to cen%tenarians is
shown by the estimate that a man who
lives to be sixty years old has spent
seven months in buttoning his shirt
collar. Perhaps even such a specula-
ton is. on the maxfrns n rules laid
by those who have passed the
century mark. Still. Notwithstanding
~jocular estimates and the contradictory
maxims Of the centenarians them
selves, the interest of the many in
these veterans in the army of life is
undeniable and increases rather than
diminish with the years. Men like
Professors Loci and Burk are study
ing in the laboratory the origin of life.
but there have probably w before
been so many intelligent persons who
seized with avidity upon every plausi-
bic plan or rule to prolong life.
The prediction is frequently made
that the ordinary mortal span will
eventually be SO heightened hat man
will be at his best from seventy to n
hundred, and that those who die at less
than the latter age will be deemed gull
ty of culpable negligence. Some find
the secret in a return to what they call
the natural simple life of the patri-
archs of Scripture, and would have us
grind between rude stones the grain
forsour daily food. Some assert that In
unlocked foods lies the road leading to
the century gate, while others would
nave us live as we please and take no
thought of long life as the surest
means of reaching ii. No rules or
maxims are o. absurd to have their
followers, and the one conclusion that
may safely be adduced is that the ma
jority of people would gladly live long,
provided the usual inflrmities of age
could be avoided.
Whether the old world, with it's set
tied ways andslife ordered by centuries
of precedent, or the new world, with
its different climatic and governmental,
agricultural and Industrial conditions,
is conducive to the great longevity
remains u mooted question. Certainly
many seem to have found, IL not tho
fountain of youth, at least a fountain
OF years IN h new world. Indians in
California and Mexico are credibly de-
clared to have reached ages from 100
to 14O, and at Toluca, Mexico. a few
years ago, lived a man whose claim to
be 192sdid not, perhaps. require u dis
count Of more than 33 1-3 per cent.

continents. Is not unfavorable to longe-

t%enarians It has numbered among its
citizens, while a popular saying in the
Connecticut valley is that the inhabit.

CURING HALTER BREAKING
HORSES.

Some horses have the habit Of pulling at
their halters when fastened at the manger
and always breaking them. While 1t Is
generally considered that the horse gets
along much better in the box stall where
he is not fastened at all. 1t is not always
possible to arrange such a plan SO that
something must be done to break the hall
ter-breaking habit. The following plan Is
admitted to work nicely and to break any
horse of the habit after e few weeks trial.
Take a strong rope long enough for the
purpose n after doubling 1t, pass IN end
each sid of the horse about midway be-
tween the front and hind legs. Pass the
ends through q ring. then through the
hole in the Manager and then tie the ends

On the other hand, it must be adj
mttted that many centenarians Of the
new world We're born in Europe. In
the obituary column of the London
Times one day a few years ago twenty
three deaths were recorded, and the
united ages of seventeen of those long

ty-nine. Ireland has furnished a lib
eral list OF centenarfans,. Including not
only persons who lived and died in
the Emerald Isle, but also a goodly
number who emigrated to America and
helped to swell the records of longevity
i'll the new world. The chances Tor NV
ing to be 100, therefore seem to be
equally divided between Europe ana
America, and also between men and
women, which seems to be olyy equit-
able. That, at least, is one comfortable
reflection in regard to centenarianism,
because it is of general application and
refers the question of years TO the per
sonal equation.

Robert Spiva. w. f. Lsmley and
Louis Miller. who came from Montana
and ~prospected for some months
through the Tonopah and Goldfeld
country, arrived in Eureka about ten

looking at mining claims in the Eureka
district and have decided to remain
here and do some work. This week
they leased for one year the Ethel mine
from the owner. NJ. McGarry Of Eureka.
The Ethel mine is located about seven
miles south of Eureka on the Secret

proximately $4,000. 900 the controlling
interest in the Crockett, CAL, refinery,

BERT SMITH ON BULLFROG.
Southern Camp Is BOoming-Many
improvements Being Made.

Bert L. Smith of Eureka, who has
become largely interested in mining
and banking interests in the Builfrog
district, was interviewed by a reporter
of the News as he passed through Car
son Monday evening on his way home
He said:
Things are booming down our way.
There are 1900 men working on the
grade of the railroad ("Borax" Smith's)
from Las Vegas to Bullfrog. This
broad gauge line. which will give the
district a southern outlet and inlet, was
started without any hurrah. In fact,
it has not been heralded i'll the press at
all. but that does not mean it will not
be completed in six months. by which
time the Goldfeld railroad will also be
extended to our diggings. unless l mis-
take the signs of the times.
Business is booming. the mines are
producing and everybody is perspiring
happily, for l will admit it is a little
hot down there in proximity to Death
Valley, Funeral Range, Coffin Noun
tain and other places suggestive of the
torrid wrath to come.
"All the pipe for the Bul,frog Town
site and Ice Company is now this side
of Vegas. We expect to have water in
the town within 30 days. The ice
plant is already On the ground. 1t
won't be long before we are as cool as
a cucumber patch and have something
besides Budweiser to battle in"

New Bridges Across the Ditch.

The County Commissioners are hav-
ing two new wagon bridges built across
the big ditch between Buel and Spring
streets. One bridge is back Of the Ed
Mccormick residence and the other is
back of the George S. Henderson black.
smith shop. Both the bridges will be
provided with guard rails. The old
structures hat spanned the ditch at
these poin.s were badly worn and I'M.

Has Faith In Old Eureka.

Attorney Hank K. Mitchell was an
arrival from San Francisco Wednesday
and expects to spend several days in
Eureka attending to legal business.
Mr.. Mitchell is a former resident, hav-
ing lived here and practiced his profess
sion for years. He was also interested
in mining properties, among them a
coal mine about Is miles east of Eureka
in the Pancake range. A great deal of
money was spent in developing this
property and the coal seam was fol-
lowed for $50 feet. At that depth work
was suspended on account of the water.
Mr.. Mitchell still owns this property
and states hat he has faith in there be.
ing coal in paying quantities that can
be reached by development work and
that he hopes soon to be able to resume
work on the mine.

GEORGE Loses His Star.

The spectacle Of Constable John Nc
Herman and others assisting Indian
George to the Hotel de Sweeney Thurs
day forenoon caused a ripple of excite
ment. 1t was first thought that he was
drunk, but as no whisky is now being
sold in Eureka to Indians the conclusion
reached was that the Indian policeman
suffered a slight sunstroke while patrol
ing China alley. Several hours in the

are no lodes or lodges, simply talcose
matter. mostly in the faults and cracks
of the rhyolite. This whole country is
about the same stuff as the mountain
east Of Eureka. Wood is $50 a cord
and gasoline is the principal fuel. Lum-

A new district on the south Typo
range, west of the Kawich mountains in
Nye County. is attracting a great deal
of attention. The district has been
named Silver Bow. and is situated
about 120 miles south of Eureka, 25
miles south of Typo and 45 miles north
and west of Kawich. There is an
abundance of water aud wood i'll
that section and town lots are
selling at from 500 to $3.50. with pine

now about 800 and increasing daily.
New strikes are being made regularly
and are higher in gold values. Last
week ores assaying as high as 5000 a
ton in gold and silver were found, and
from private letters received in Eureka
the prospects for Silver Bow are most
encouraging.

ACCIDENT AT RoDY NINE.
Italian Miner Blown to Pieces by the
Explosion of dynamite.

The Reno Journal of June "a contains
the following account of an accident at
the Rody mine, near Cortez:
Roemigio Boghi. an Ital an miner,
was instantly killed Thursday night at
the Rody mine in Eureka County, and
his body blown to atoms as the result Of
the explosion of miners dynamite.
What remained of the body will be-
brought to Reno to-day for burial.
The tunnel at the Rody is 800 feet
long and about 200 feet in from the en-
trance considerable blasting was neces-
sarv. A row of holes. containing the
deadly material. to which was con.
nected the usual fuse, was ready for
the spark. Boghi struck fire to the
fuse and was caught in the explosion
that followed. Whether the accident
was caused by carelessness or inexperi-
ence is not known. A fellow miner
who went to relieve him on the change
Of shift at 2 a. m. waited for Boghi to
make his usual appearance at the en-.
trance. After waiting a while the relief
became alarmed and proceeded through
the tunnel about 20o feet, when he came
upon a horrible sight-the mangled por-
tons of Boghi's body.
Boghi resided in Reno for IS months
and left here on June IL for Cortez to
go to work in the mines. He was about
40 years of age and leaves q family in
Italy.
