was, but when | saw how Ev steadied
down and settled to work knew it was
a good influence, and told the family so.
Now that I've met you" he broke off
suddenly. Poor Ev!" he said in a low
tone.
Had his boots been less demanding of
attention, Cotton would have seen the
deep blue of her eyes dimmed to gray
by sudden rush of tears.
Let us agree to leave your brother
out of future conversations, DR. Cotton,
she said decisively. Good morning,
fefIt p6re, she greeted as Haynes came
into the room.

with low bow You beat me in. i"
Have you been out trying to gather
more evidence against my poor juggler?'
If | have, it's been with no success.

sauc;ly as she left the room.
Here's something that may interest
you," said Cotton to HAYNES, and re-
lated the episode of the sheep
That will help u.s. said the reporter
You say the sheep lay on the hard
sand?"
Yes; halfway between the cliff-line
and the ocean"
What marks were around it"
"Marks?" repeated Cotton vacantly
Yes, marks, footmarks, impa-
tiently.
Why, the fact is, don't know what
could have been thinking of, but l
didn't look"
The Lord forgive you!"
III 60 back now and find them"
AN elephants spoor wouldn't have
survived half an hour of the rain we had
last night, Haynes said bitterly.
Miss Ravenden might have noticed
something" suggested Cotton humbly,
On the word Haynes was out in the
hallway, up the stairs, and knocking at
the girls door.

What can l do for the great Dupin,

hall.

I'm an idiot" said the girl contritely.
Il never thought to look.
Its well that your eyes are orna-
mental; they're not always useful,
said Haynes in accents of raillery which
did not conceal his disappointment.
Well, it's been an unsatisfactory ending

RICH ORE.
THIRTy-FIvE TONS OF MONT
= GOMERY- SR0SH0AE ORE
YIELDS SI7,500.

Mr.. ana Mrs. II. n. hOntSoiieiy
and Malcolm A. Macdonald have
returned to Beatty from Salt Lake
with the glad tidings that the en-
tire shipment of 30 tons of Mont
gomery-Shoshone ore averaged a
little oyer $4,000 per ton, includ-
ing high and low grade. Freight
on the shipment by wagon 10
miles from Beatty to Las Vegas
cost S25 per ton, thence by rail to
Salt Lake $3.50 per ton, and
treatment of ore $40 per ton. In
future shipments the high and low
grade ores will be kept separate.
Development work continues at
the mine as rapidly as three shifts
Of men can operate. Ore from the
tunnels is being sacked for ship
ment only as it comes from devel-
opment work. The face of the
main tunnel is 81 feet in the solid
tale and finds no wall, and the per-
manent working shaft is below the
level of the first discovery, bound
ed by rich ore on all sides. A
within and other machinery for
operation of the mine will soon ar
rive, and negotiations for a mill to
treat the ores are progressing. The
mine improves with every foot and
will be a wonderful producer.
Only $4,000 worth of stock was
put on the market and it all went
quickly at So per share. The Of
fcers are E. A. Montgomery, Pre-
sident and General Manager; Nal
colin A. Macdonald Vice Presi-
dent and Consulting Engineer;
James G. Conner, Secretary and
Treasurer; Superintendent, Mat.
Hoyeck. Directors: Lewis A.
Parkhurst, M. II. Walker, George
A. Black, O. f. Rebel. General
offices will be in Beatty.
The Salt Lake Tribune has the
following: That the two classes
Of ore into which the consignments
from the Shoshone mine on Mont
gomery mountain, Bullfrog min
ing district, we're confused in tran
sit from the exhibit that would
otherwise have been made, said
the owners, who were here to re-
ceive it last night, although it
yielded them as much as $500 per
ton, or nearly $4,000 for the lot.
While it was disappointing to the
management, certainly it is entitl-
to no reproaches. On the con-
trary, the average maintained by
the ore affords impressive evidence
OF the resources of which the gold
bearing property in particular, and
the region throughout, is capable,
and the management succeeding
in maintaining any figures approx
mating that average, has earned
the gratitude of every intesest in
the extraordinary camp. Mr.. Mac
donald will leave for the west at
noon to inquire into latest disclos-
ures at the property, which is as
tonishing the world with its wealth
while Mr.. and Mrs. Montgomery
will RENAME until tomorrow with
friends who have made their So
journ a most pleasant one.-Bull
Frog Miner.

NEW WEAPON OF WAR

A Chinese inventor has recently per-
fected weapon which the mandarins
at Pekin think will cause terror in
the hearts of the invaders, and an or
der has been issued for the manufact-
ure of large supply, to be distributed
throughout the army. According to
a description that appears in the Chin
ese papers this terrible weapon is a
combination of spear and shovel. At
one end of a pole there is a large, sharp
spike, such as knights of medieval
times used to carry. AT the other end
there is a shovel, or spade, with a
blade about eight inches wide, which
can be used both as an intrenching
tool and as a weapon. 1t is especially
handy ir beheading prisoners, and all
the Chinese soldier has to do is to stick
the pike at one end of his pole through
the body of his enemy and then turn
around and cut off the head with the
shovel. Instead of sending the inven-
tor of this terrible weapon to The
Hague to represent China at the peace
conference the Empress Dowager re-
warded him with a button of the sec
ond class.

HISTORIC BABY BOTTLES

Bottles for babies date back to re-
mote antiquity. Most people are of the
opinion that feeding bottles for babies
must be an invention of modern times.
According to Professor Mosby, how
ever, this is not the case. This gentle
man, who was lecturing recently be-
fore an antiquarian society, stated that
it was the custom among the Greeks
for the nurses to carry a sponge full of
honey in a small pot to keep the chill
dren from crying. The professor went
on to say that there are two Greek
vases in the British museum, dating
from 700 B. c., which closely resemble
the feeding bottles used subsequently
by the Romans. In the old Roman
cemetery of st. Sepulchre, Canterbury.
a feeding bottle of bright red polished
ware was dug up in 1861, and Professor
Mosby came to the conclusion that this
bottle must have been buried with the
little Roman child to whose wants it
had administered during the child's
lifetime.

PRIMITIVE AMERICAN RACES

The Tarahnmare people, who live in
the most inaccessible part of northern
Mexico, are ignorant and primitive,
many still living in caves. What viii
lagos they have are at attitudes of
about 5000 feet above the sea level.
They are d small and wiry people, with
great powers of endurance. Their only
food is "pinoli," or maize, parched and
ground. They have a peculiar drink,
called ''teshuin," also produced from
maize and manufactured with consid-
cradle ceremony, which tastes like a
mixture of sour milk and turpentine.
Their language is limited to about three
hundred words. Their imperfect
knowledge of numbers renders them
unable to count beyond ten. Their re-
ligion seems to be distorted and i'm
perfect conception of Christian tradi-
tions mixed with some of their own
ideas and supersitions.

THE COSTLY BELL OF BURMAH

II one tried to put price upon the
huge bell Of Burmah he might say it
was worth 100000 in the coin of our
land. This would be 100000 in the
money value Of the Buddhist. But it's
value is really priceless to these people
for It Is under the direct tutelage of
Buddha, and they think It would be
impossible for 1t to be taken from
them. They tell of an attempt by the
English in 1924, when Burmah was
captured and invaded. The great bell
was hoisted upon a wagon drawn by
many elephants and oxen and driven
down to the shore of the Irrawady.
The bell was placed upon the deck of
vessel and the sails set, when the
invisible hand of Buddha intervened
and the bell slipped from the deck of
the vessel and sank in the mud of the
river. Long after the natives recov-
cred 1t with almost superhuman effort
and restored 1t to the sacred pavilion.
The bell was cast so many years ago
that the natives say, Thousands upon
thousands of years in the time Of yes
terday was made the holy bell" When
the bell was cast people came from
miles around bringing their money and
metals to the vast caldron. Amid the
cries and chants to the god Buddha,
the metals were flung into the caldron
to be melted. In the frenzy of the re-
ligious enthusiasm the warriors
wrenched their, swords from their jew
eled scabbards and flung them into the
mass of metals already melting. Rich
merchants and their wives, who had
come thither in all their richest attire
and costliest jewels. tore off bracelets,
rings and irdles and flung them into
the caldron. The poor added their
mites of coins, tawdry ornaments, be-
trothal mementoes and love trinkets,
and even the children with an exulta-
ton, they little understood gave their
much priced toys of metal, doll god
desses and toy swords.

MONEY SPENT ABROAD

1t has been estimated that tourists
of all kinds spend every year in Italy
something like $6O,OOOOOO or nearly
100000 day. Considering the popula-
tion and comparative poverty of Italy.
this is crop well worth cutivating
and ought to make the Italians most
careful to protect their ancient monu-
ments from injury. The italian may
personally prefer a smart new boule-
ward to a narrow street of ruinous old
palaces, but he may be quite sure that
the world will not spend 100000 a day
in order to see new boulevards. The
central government might well form a
commission for preserving the ameni-
ties of Italy, and give it an absolute
veto in regard to all improvements"
contemplated in Rome and the other
great towns.

CAMEO CARVING

The art of cameo carving is an ex-
ceedingly difficult one and one which
requires an eye almost like micro
scope and a very delicate touch. The
carver must be an artist i'm soul and
as skilled craftsman as a watch
maker He must know how to model
and draw and he must have a knowl-
edge of chemistry so as TO remove
offending spots. All the tools used by
the cameo carver are but a handful.
The little pointed instruments resemble
those used by a dentist, and indeed 1t
was from the cameo carver's kit that
the dentists got many of their ideas
when the tools they now use first came
to be manufactured. The drills vary
in thickness according to the portion
Of the design or figure to be executed;
some are the size of a fine cambria
needle. The worker sits before a wheel
turned by a pedal; the tools occupy
small corner of the table surface on
which the workers hand rests while
he holds the shaped stone or shell be-
meath the needle-like drill. The work
is very exacting. He can do only a
few hours work at a time as aAusual
thing, because of the tension upon
his nerves.
The work is executed in relief on
many kinds of hard or precious stones,
but especially on the chalcedonic vari-
ETY. of quartz and on shells. The
cameo cutter himself prefers onyx be-
cause of the dark and light layers
which throw out in bold relief white
head against black background. He
evolves picture by removing that por-
ton of the white stratum remaining
after the head has been completed.
Sapphire blocks are used, as are car
nelian, turquoise, amethyst and numer-
Gus precious stones. There is always
great danger of the latter breaking
and their durability, too, is not great.

EARLIEST NEWSPAPER

The first daily newspaper was a
manuscript letter written by salaried
correspondents and forwarded by them
every twenty-four hours from London
to the provinces. That was in the days
of the early Stuarts. During the COM
monwealth these London letters were
printed in type and circulated in large
numbers. Even SO long ago as 1880
the law of libel was such as to be char
acterized by Judge Scroggs as making
any newspaper publication illegal and
tending to provoke a breach of the
peace.
