Battle Mountain, and owned by G. 8.
Moore and his son., Walter. have given a
bond to this valuable property to Chas.
Lane. Paul Lane, who is IN charge,
has already put on six men to work to
develop the property. The deepest
workings from the main tunnel is a shaft
thirty feet deep from which assays as
high as $40 in gold have been obtained,
proving that the ores increase in values
as depth is obtained in this district. The
ledge is $50 feet between walls, all in
sulphide ores, averaging 81 10 gold with
some in silver aud 2 per cent. copper.

A 100 ton lot of ore from the Sham

fitted in accordance with the experience
gained at the old mill. 1t is now ex-
pected that the camp will take on a new
lease OF life.

The Way We Do 1t

There are different ways of doing bust
ness. One way is to make as much ont
of customers while they are in the store as
possible. Another is to give them the best
value for their money. The first way is
about as sensible as the man who killed

our business methods for a while and see

SAFETY OF RAILWAY TRAVEL.

Philadelphia Enquirer.-As sort of
corollary to the meeting of the rail-
way men of the world there is now
being held in Washington an exhibition
Of railway appliances which has at
tracted great attention. 1t contains
all the most recent inventions and de-
vices for insuring swifter, safer and
more economical traffic. Many of
these are declared by engineers and
managers to be Of the highest import
ance, while not a few are looked upon
as chimerical, at present, though not
without great potentialities.
At a time when practically everyone
rides on railway trains and large
portion of the public travels continu-
ously, anything that adds to safety,
speed and economy Is welcome. That
there is need for Improvement is not
doubted since there Is a long roll of
casualties every year. Almost $4,000
persons are killed or injured every
year on railways in this country. Most
of them are slightly hurt, the vast ma
Jority being employees who are careless
aid refuse to obey the rules. Still the
slaughter is bad, though not anything
like so great. relatively speaking, as it
was before the companies adopted the
air brake for freight cars. That cut
down the casualties heavily.
Although the number of killed and
injured seems large, it must be taker
IN connection with other facts. In the
fiscal year ending with June, 1903, al
most 700,000,O00 passengers were car
ried, so that the casualties were rela-
lively very few. On forty three rail-
ways with a fifth of the mileage not G
passenger was killed, on eleven Others
with almost equal mileage only eleven
passengers We're killed. This is not
saying anything in justification of the
railways which were careless or i'm
provident, but 1t shows that remark
! able care was exercised on a large
portion of the lines.
One of the most interesting exhibits
is that made by a leading accident in
surance company, which reports that
| it. paid less than 5 per cent Of it's 10 -es
to railway passengers, while to pedes-
trfans the percentage was almost Is
and to accidents from horses and We
hicles almost 10 per cent.
These figures as whole are impress
sive, because they show that railway
companies can maintain high degree
| Of safety.
