Supt. l.. Z. Bedford has started a
second crosscut to explore the Gold
Bar ledge. This crosscut is 175 feet
north of the old shaft, starting from
the north drift on the 150-foot level.
The first erosscut, in which 1856 feet of
solid ore is now exposed, has heen run
easterly from near the bottom of the
shaft and is still in ore, all Of which,
as has previously been stated, is of an
excellent milling grade. The second
crosscut will connect with the new
shaft. now timbered to 45 feet, on
which the 28-horse Hercules hoist will
be installed. All of the underground
workings continue to show ore.
The Red Oak company, under the
management of C. P. Topliff, have
started extensive and permanent devel-
opment work on its property adjoining
the Providence on the northeast. THE
shaft, down 105 feet, is being retim-
bered Axe in the clear, and will be con-
tinued to depth of 200 feet before
further prospecting is done. The new
12-horse Union hoist has been5placed
and is ready for business, giving an up
to date equipment with which the work
may be speedily advanced. The shaft
is on the general trend Of the Mont
gomery-Shoshone.
Extensive exploration is being made
on the Chieftain property west of In
dian Springs. Work in driving th'
crosscut tunnel, which was run III
feet. has been abandoned and the min
ers are now drifting from point 60 fee
under cover, following a tale strea
that shows values. The drift is in Y
feet. A shaft, down 35 feet, is bein
sunk on manganese quartz ledge tina
also shows encouraging assays.
Continued good news comes from II
Bromide on the east side Of the Anna

win establish a four-horse stage line
between Tonopah and Manhattan in the
very near future. They are busily en-
gagged getting the proposed line IN
shape and will undoubtedly do asrush-
inc business from the start.
r. w. Thompson has secured the
Spanish Springs property, eight miles
this side Of Manhattan and will open
road house and stage station there next
week. There is water in abundance at
the Springs and it will undoubtedly be-
come a popular stopping place.
MIR. Thompson came in from Man
haitian Thursday and says that the
camp is bound to become an important
mining city.
Harry Hudson came in from Manhat-
tan last evening and is more enthuslas'

Hudson & Vermilyea.
Charley Humphrey was an arrival in
town last evening on his way to Carson
to spend Christmas with his family He
says the future of the camp is assured
and that buildings are going up in
every direction. Lumber is in great
demand. Two fourteen-animal teams
Of building material arrived in camp
Tuesday and every bit Of it was sold
within few minutes.
A newspaper is to be started next
week. The plant is now on the ground
having been hauled in from Belmont.
All of the leases are looking good and
people are arriving in the young camp
at the rate of thirty day. Mr.. Hum
phrey says an important strike has just
been made on the Mustang claim of the
Hamphrey-Saylor ground, on which
nine leasers are working. A strong
ledge can be traced the full length o
this claim on the surface. Four lease
have just been let on the adjoining
claim, known as the Bronco and whiel
is owned by Tate and Barker. Higl
grade showings have been secured fror
this ground.

1t is reported on excellent authority
that the Tonopah Mining company is
buying up North Star stock in large
blocks, in an endeavor to obtain control
Of that splendid property. Officials of
both companies claim to know nothing
about the matter, but one Of Tonopah's
leading brokers says it is a fact never
theless. There has certainly been some
thing in the wind, for the stock has
been in big demand for some time and
the price has continued to rise. The
North Star adjoins the Tonopah Mining
company's ground on the northeast and
If the latter company should secure con-
troll Of the stock, it would undoubtedly
absorb the North Star company This
would add some very choice ground &c
the already extensive holdings Of the
Tonopah Mining company.

The nearest railroad station is only
thirteen miles away and with only a
charge of SO a ton to meet in transpor-
tating the ore to Battle Mountain and
but $5 more to the smeter at Salt Lake,
this is destined to become a big and

The Judge says there is a big rush

that camp is sure to become one Of the
greatest mining eenters in the United

Cheerful Introductions.

The Rev. A. J. Kynett, presiding cid
er of the Methodist Episcopal confer
ence of the south district of Philadel
phia, tells a story at his own expense.
He was asked one day to help the col
ored brethren raise some money for a
church. When he came to preach, the
pastor of the church, in order to i'm
press the congregation with the Rev.
Mr.. Kynett's Importance, said "Breth-
rem and sisters, it is now my great
pleasure and delight to Introduce the
Rev. DR.. Kynett, the sounding brass
and the tinkling cyymbal of the Metho-
dist church" When DIR. Graeff adj
dressed the same congregation some
months later he was introduced as "the
great obstacle of the Methodist church"

An Easy Task.

1t is easy to praise our friends when
they do right or to defend them when
they have injustice perpetrated against
them. The story is told that many
years ago the officers of the army Of
the king of Hanover refused to have
anything to do with young lieutenant
who had been promoted on the field of
battle for gallantry. They claimed
that he was not their social equal even
though the shoulder straps of COM
missioned officer were his. The king
heard about the boycott. The next
day at parade he called the young man
to his side. Then, arm in arm with the
lieutenant, he walked before the whole
army assembled on dress parade. Then
that night, as his special guest, the
king took the young officer with him
to a banquet. OF course when the king
went arm in arm with the young man
the other officers at once felt he was
not only their social equal, but friend
well worth cultivating. YES" l said
to myself as / read that story, ''how
easy it is for some of us to walk arm
in arm with our friends when they are
doing right, but how hard 1t is for
some Of us to take the hands of our
friends when they do wrong and to
speak to them kindly and firmly and
yet lovingly, as Joab told King David
about his faults"

sidered as intruding into the eontroyer-
sy which has subsisted for many years
as to whether the British laws should
be assimilated TO those Of Australia
and other parts of the empire in this
respect, but they are strongly OF opin-
ion that it is unjust TO Australian citi-
zens that the fun recognition accorded
10 their marriage and its consequences
i'm Australia should be taken from them
when they remove to another part of
the empire" He asks the government
ito move the Imperial Parliament to
PASS a measure which would provide
that marriages between persons OF
British race which are valid according
to the laws of that part Of the empire
in which they were celebrated should
be considered equally valid in the Unit
ed Kingdom" When this request
reaches the House of Lords it Is likely
to provide some embarrassmsnts for the
bishops.

part Of that month they hear the .caIl
which summons them once more on a
long and perilous journey. Giving up
their life OF comparative ease, north
ward they start through Bolivia, west
ern Brazil and Peru. Then whether
they continue on through Ecuador and
cross the Gulf Of Panama, or whether
they follow the isthmus. no man is
sure; all We know about it is, that later
in the month they appear in Guatemala
and Texas, reaching the latter place by
flying straight across the Gulf of
Mexico. In April, they are found cross
ing the prairies of the Mississippi VAL
ley. and before the LIST of May they are
going over our northern borders into
Canada. BY the first Of June they
have reached their destination, the in
hospitable barren grounds" above the
Arctic Circle, of even hundreds of miles
further north, where they take up the
duties which they came to- perform.
Though the lakes are still ice-bound,
and the ground still frozen hard, these
plucky birds make their simple nests in
the moss, and lay their four buffy eggs
In two months after their arrival, they
have reared their families, and the
homeward journey is begun. But they
do not so home by the same route.
First they pay a visit to Labrador,
where they may be found at this season
in company with turn stones and Eski-
mo-. Curlews, feasting on the crow
berry, juicy, black fruit borne in pro-
inn hNy n nf
grows over the rocks and treeless
slopes of this bleak coast The birds are
very fond of this fruit, and eat such
quantities of it that ths flesh of the cur
LEWIS become stained dark purple with
the juice.

doesn't draw the color line, as its re-
cent commendable action shows. This
is a northern incident. 1t is pleasure
to notice a southern incident of SINH
lar nature. Desha Breckenridge, son
of the late Colonel W. c. P. Breckir,-
ridge, is editor of the Lexington (Ken-
tucky) Herald. Mr.. Breckenridge
commended the selection of DIR. Hun
ter, a high-minded and able colored
physician, as delegate from Lexington
to the tuberculosis convention in At
lanta. and also urged his appointment
as a member of the local Board of
Health. Mr.. Breckenridge was prompt
ly rebuked by subscriber, who told
him that he was surprised and aston
isEed at any Kentuckian holding such
views or daring to express them. To
this the editor replied in spirited edi-
torial, and declared that as long as he
had any subscribers he would express
what he felt on this;or any other ques-
ton, and those who did not like it could
cancel their subscriptions as speedily
as possible. More than that, Mr.. Brock
inridge fatty averred that there is no
higher duty the white man owes his
, own race than the duty of doing ali
within his power to aid the negro race. 81
Finally, he declared that DR.. Hunter is

THE TRAVELS OF THE GOLDEN
pLOyER. hE% .

Just think of travelling sixteen thou
sand miles a year every year of ones
life. 1t would mean the equivalent of
a trip from San Francisco to New
York, two voyages across the Atlantic
and back and a run down to Florida
afterwards. Even with the assistance
of express trains and ocean liners, one
who did this amount of travelling year
after year would hardly be termed a
"stay-at-home, but If he had to do it
with the aid of his own good muscles
alone, he would need no other business
to give him steady employment. 1t
would mean that he had to walk forty
four miles a day every day In the year.
That is to say, he would have to start
out at six o'clock in the morning, and
walk steadily at the rate Of four miles
an hour until six o'clock in the evening,
with the exception of an hour each day.
And he would have to keep this up
from the time he was born until the
time he died, and then he would accom-
plish merely the amount Of travel Yet
the Golden Plover and certain other
birds do this amount of travelling, not
as their life's work, but as a part of 1t,
in addition they supply themselves with
food, rear family each summer, and
still find time for a six months vaca-
ton every year. IS 80

it is the summer of the Southern
Hemisphere, and when the3plovers ar
rive there in September, they find the
native birds either nesting or. prepar-
ing to nest. But this activity has no
effect upon the migrants from the
north, which have already reared one
family, and after a flight of eight
thousand miles are inclined to take
things easy for time' Until March

themselves with food, but in the early

MANY of the children and some of
the elders will be pleased to know that
the notion that one school session a
day is enough is held by such distin-
guished men as Professor Koppman of
Leipzig, DR.. Schmidt Monnard of Halle
and DR.. Otto Dornblueth Of Frankfort.
DR.. Dornblueth is specialist in nerv-
Gus diseases. He favors a morning ses-
sion of five hours, we learn, giving a
resting pause of fifteen minutes at the
end Of each hour. He says that the
afternoon sessions exhaust the vitality
of the children, disturb their digestive
ors;tns, and tire their brains. From a
medical standpoint afternoon sessions
should be abolished. The afternoon
hours should be given to play, outdoor
exercise, and physical training. The
selfish motives of many parents in not
wishing the children at home because
they are bothersome and require super
/
vision should not avail against re-
form which Is necessary and beneficial
for the little ones. The doctor sug-
gests the establishment of public re-
treats where the children who cannot
be supervised at home may spend the
afternoon hours in the care of one OF
more suitable adults. He suggests that
these retreats be provided with nipple
ments and material ard that children
desiring instruction in light handicrafts
be accommodated.
Perhaps the children are in school
too much, but there are no very visible
indications that they are learning toe
much.

Carnegie the magnificently munificent
giver was awhile ago accused of want
ing his name perpetuated in Boston in
connection with the Franklin fund,
was talk that his money shouldn't and
wouldn't be accepted on that account
1t later appeared that he didn't want
his name used. and now the matter
seems to be all straight. The action Of
the board of managers of the Franklin
fund of the city of Boston in recon-
mending that the city shall accept the
gift of Mr.. Carnegie will, if approved,
increase the amount of money avail
able for the purposes for which Benja-
min Franklin left tine original legacy
by 100000. In other words, Mr.. Carne-
gle gives an amount equal to the
Franklin fund. Any objection which
has heretofore been manifested against
accepting this money from Mr.. Carne-
gle, on the ground that the institution
would perpetuate Mr.. Carnegie's name,
an entirely unjust assumption, is COM
pletely disposed of by the action of the
managers, who have decided that the
institution shall be called 1.-The Frank
lin Union. -:s ~
The city of Boston will doubtless ac-
cept the recommendation of the board
of managers. Mr.. Carnegie is as mod
est as he is generous, but his name will
be perpetuated all right. He is the
greatest giver the world has ever seen,
and he will have monuments and re-
membranes. .5s ...,
