A Brave Woman.

Mrs. A. Boyer, wife of a prominent
rancher of Churchill county, is a
brave woman. A few days ago,
when all we're away from the ranch
except herself and two children, a
lynx, driven down from the noun
tains by the now and storm, came
into the yard and after driving off
the dogs began to look for a Xmas
dinner of barnyard fowl. Mrs. Boyer
espied the beast and taking a double
barreled shotgun soon sent Mr..
Lynx to the happy hunting ground.
He measured three feet eight inches
from the tip of his nose to the tip Of
his tail and had a very fine fur.

New York Brokerage Firm Ed
deavOring to Secure Control
of Rich Mine.


One Of the leading brokerage firms
OF New York, has addressed a circu'
lar letter TO the shareholders of the
Tonopah mining company, offering
them $17.5 so a share for their stock,
provided 81 per cent OF the totaI
common stock can be obtained at
that figure. 1t looks as If the firm
was endeavoring to make a deal with
some one for the control of the prop
erty on the basis of $l7, 500, 600.
The stock has been gaining strength
for several days-since the announce
ment that all the preferred stock Is
to be retired on the 18th inst.
81 don't doubt, said a shareholder
today, "but that the stock is worth
$17. 80 a share as the mine contains
vast bodies of ore and the Tonopah
railroad is a valuable asset. How.
ever, l would be tempted to sell all
my interests at the price bid for it by
the New York brokers'"
The circular letter sent out by the
firm reads as follows
New YORK, January 3, 1905.
To the Stockholders Of the Tonopah
Mining Company of Nevada.
We are commissioned by a syndi-
cate Of mining men and capitalists to
make you the following proposition
for your acceptance within the time
specified herein.
We therefore make a bid Of $17. 80
per share to you and to each Of the
stockholders of the common stock of
the Tonopah mining company of Ne
vada for the whole or any part of
their holdings provided 81 percent of
the total common stock is offered to
us on or before January IA, 1905.
That there may be no misurder.
standing or question as to the ulti.
mate outcome of the minority stock,
we have further arranged with our
principals an agreement to purchase
not later than thirty days from date
of acquisition Of 81 percent of the
common stock at SIT so per share all
minority holdings of said common
stock that may be offered to us.
While we think the control OF
ownership of this mine is well worth
a ST., 800, 600 basis, we think there
are reasons OF mutual advantage tt
the stockholders warranting them ii
at least selling to our principals, 5.

ever, there is still an extensive supply
of native forest growth, and many
huge trees are to be found In regions
still unexplored. The supply, there
fore, is assured for many years to
come.
Camphor is found in the form Of
crystals in the wood tissues, and is sep
arated from the crude oil by double
distillation. From the first distilla.
ton is secured an oxidized product,
camphogenotol, the principal Of the
camphor oils of commerce. The crude
camphor is dark colored substance
fusing at 10 degrees C.
Among the by-products may be men
toned crude camphor oil, which
comes out simultaneously with the
camphor; white oil, obtained by SUBJ
limating the crude oil, and used in
the manufacture of soap. Red oil is
also obtained from the crude cam.
phor oil, as well as black Oil, which is
extensively used in the preparation Of
varnishes. A turpentine is secured
from the white oil that is in great de-
mand for medical and Industrial pur-
poses. From red oil is obtained a
product known as soffrol, employed to
a considerable extent in the manu-
facture OF perfumery; and also soap;
and disinfectant is also distilled
from red oil. after the addition Of
other substances, claimed to kill the
cholera bacillus. Another product is
an insecticide. which, when mingled
with 100 parts Of water, destroys in.
sects injurious to farm crops.
The camphor produces are: Refined
granular camphor, obtained by sibli.
nation from crude camphor, price In
Toxic. yet O.s5, about 40 cents per
pound; refined camphor, sublimed
and compressed, worth one yen per
pound; and refined camphor tablets,
of Fupisawa camphor, obtained from
crude camphor, worth yen Ito per
pound.
The annual export Of camphor
from Japan is about 6,000,0 900 pounds,
three-fourths of which is produced In
Formosa, the other fourth coming from
Japan proper, chiefly from Kyushu
and Shikoku.
