The Wit of Woman.

Women are the inheritors of the old,
est. most universal human wisdom.
They have more sense than men, for
the simple reason that a man has to
be a specialist, and a specialist has
to be a fanatic. The normal man all
over the world is hunter or a fisher
or a banker or a man of letters or
some silly thing. If so, he has to be
a wise hunter or a wise banker. But
nobody with the smallest knowledge
of professional life would ever expect
him to be a wise man. But his wife
has to be a wise woman. She has to
have all eye on everything.-G. K.
Chesterton in the London Daily News.

Little Lessons From Life.

Men are righteous, men are bad,

Pursuing things we think will bless,
We lose the blessings we possess.
How can life be reckoned sweet

Whether the world is kind or cold
Depends upon the job you hold.
Seek not to gain the peaceful life
If no fair gems bedeck your WIFE,

According to your store OF ple'
How can we doubt that Gods above
When those we love return our lover

THE ADVANCE IN SILVER.
Shortage of Bullion Presents Pleas
ing Prospect for Nevada.

The Denver News says: at Is in.
timated in Washington dispatches that
Secretary Shaw. the stand pat head of
the Treasury Department, is about to
enter the open market as a purchaser OF
silver bullion. the minis having ex-
hausted the stock accumulated under
the working Of the Sherman Act of
July IA, 1890. If the intima'ion proves
good a further impetus will be given to
the advance in silver, as the amount of
bullion in the New York market is
small at present. with considerable
pledged for December delivery in
London.
According to London and New York
advices the rise in the price Of silver
bullion, which has been steadily going
forward for q year, has now reached a
level that washes away the currencies
Of the world. which have teen based on
q ratio of 80 to l. like our new peso in
the Philippine Islands. aud the new
Mexican currency.
"The Philippine Commissioners. in
CONSERVATION over the prospect that
the currency Of the people will be

have issued an order against the ex-
portation of the coin. This palliative
can prove but temporary. The Philip

money. has to-day a bullion value Of a

OLD BULLION DISTRICT.
Formerly Worked for Silver, Now
Giving Up Gold Values.

There is great activity IN the re-dis-
covered Bullion district of Nevada,
which, with the surrounding camps.
figured prominently as a producer in
the palmy days of silver mining in
this State. according to p. ID. Delmas
Of Beowawe. Eureka County, who
was in Salt Lake last week aud
was interviewed by a Tribune reporter.
Mr.. Delmas went TO Salt Lake with b
carload of ore extracted from the Gold
Quartz property in Lander COUNTY, %

Melted the mining company $74a fon
Country Highly Mineralizedy
In the opinion of Mr.. Delmas. who is
heavily interested in the Gold Qpartz
property, the Bullion district will tsoon
figure as conspicuously ip-smining
circlss-aSX gold producer, as it did
when il was worked for silver. The
district was r~e-discovered last May.
The country, according to Mr.. Delmas.
is highly m~ineralized, having in
Vulnerable lodges. In the Bullion. Cor
tez, and Mill Canyon districts, which
are only a short distance apart, there
are 20 working mines.
Iu connection with the Gold Quartz
property, Mr.. Delmas stated that his
company has IA claims, which con-
stitute almost an entire mountain.
The ore, he says, runs $50 a ton at the
grass roots. There is an enormous
quantity of low and high grade ore. the
richer rock being encountered with
depth. The bottom of a two compart-
ment shaft, which is down S5 feet.
shows ore that runs $3.50 a ton in gold.
The ore body extends across the entire
width of the bottom of the shaft.
Rich Sulphide Ore and Copper.
The Reliance Mining Company
property. which is controlled by Salt
Lake capital, and which is located near
the Gold Quartz, has an excellent show
ing, Mr.. Delmas states. A shaft has
been sunk to a depth of III feet. and it
has just struck a black sulphide gold
and silver ore. carrying high values.
Mr.. Delmas further reports the dis
of copper in the Bullion district.
He has taken an option for Eastern
capitalists upon a group of nine claims;
two of which have been considerably
developed. The property has a ledge
from two to four feet, carrying
10 per cent copper. % ounces in silver

the United States and $4,000 a year
from some company that is very
seriously interested in matters that are
frequently presented for Congressional
consideration, it is not difficult to de.
eide in what way his vote will be in
fiuenced, for even though he may make
an effort to be impartial. it is sure that
no really honest and honorable man
would accept a public position of this
kind and at the same time continue to
receive a salary or fees from a company
that has a direct financial interest in
pending legislation.
The coming debate and vote on the
railway rate bill will give the people of
United States a better opportunity than
they have had for many years to line
up their Senators and Representatives,
and to identify them as belonging
among the corporation attorneys or as
among the representatives of the
people.
1t is already evident that the division
on the railway rate bill will not be
along party lines, and some of the
Democratic newspapers are going so far
as to assert that President Roosevelt
will get q larger Measure of support
from the Democrats in Congress than
he will from the members of his own
party. But however that may be, the
division will run across party lines, and
the corporation Democrats and the cor.
poration Republicans will stand to-
gether in opposition to the united forces
of those Republicans and those Demo-
Gratis that believe that the corporations
have assumed and are now exercising
too much power that properly belongs
only to the Government, that is to say,
to the representatives of the people.
The struggle in Congress over the rate
bill will be watched with great interest
by the people of every State, for all the
people are directly concerned in its out
come. and they will not fail to approve
or to condemn their Senators and Rep
resentatives, in accordance with their
position for or against the principles of
American popular self-government.-

readers in Eastern Nevada on time,
that they may appreciate the tele.
graphic service. The latest news by

other paper when the Gazette makes
