Spring and autumn are the seasons
when the young college people try their
histrionic talents. Down at school the

Steel Magnate Interview

five or six friends passed through

State. Himself and party will
visit the mines in the south in
which Mr.. Schwab is heavily in

They will spend the next two or
three weeks there before returning
to New York. A Silver State re-
porter interviewed the steel mag
nate as to the rumor of his alleged
Nevada candidacy for the United
States Senate. Mr.. Schwab said /:
MY trip tothe coast at this time
Is one of pleasure, and while l
may mix in a little Stag with the
rich ore to be found in the south
by way of diversion, my visit has
no political significance whatever.
| am in no sense a politician and
if | am a candidate for the United
States Senate from Nevada no
one knows it as yet. My business
interests will force me to spend
much time in this State in the
future and | may conclude to cast
my lot with the people of Nevada.
Let me ask you why | should want
to go into politics in this or any
other State? True. a seat in the
United States Senate is a laudable
am bition for any man, but it is
just possible that have as much
business as l can handle of a priv
ate nature. | have not given poll
tics n thought. and when l do |

State if it comes that way" Mr..
Schwab is very pleasant man to
meet and impresses one as a royal
good fellow.

naiI Clerks Are
OyerWOrked.
Present Force is Said to
be Too Small to Handle
Large Amount OF. Stuff
Satisfactorily.

Since the putting on of the fast
mail schedule on January 1st the
work of the mail clerks out of this
city has been increased to such an
extent that it is almost impossible
to get the mail distributed with
out delay, says the Utah Journal.
The boys are doing extra work
now and still much mail is. going
into Oakland pier unworked and
from there sent back to Sacramen-
70 and Reno to be distributed to
tributary points.
A small portion of the mail is
handled in the local yards now be-
fore leaving for the West. A car
has been put on the side track and
the overflow amount, that is the
mail matter over that which it is
thought can be handled between
Ogden and Sparks, is distributed
here. This. Of course, means extra
duty for the clerks before going
out on their run.
The weighing of mails at Ogden
went into effect last week. 1t will
be ascertained as soon as possible
Just how much mail can be worked
between here aud Sparks, Nevada,
with the present facilities. 1t is
thought that it will be demonstrat-
ed that the force of mail clerks be-
tween here and San Francisco and
the number of cars are not ad-
equate to handle the mail without
delays.
The clerks running out of Chey-
enne are every day turning un-
worked mail over to the clerks
running out of this city. 1t Is said
that they are turning over from
200 to 5000 unassoited letters
per day. While the fast mail
makes a difference of a number of
hours between Omaha and Pacific
Cosst points in running time, still
the mail that is carried by certain
points must be returned with a
loss of more than the time gained
in running time. It is said that
from 10000 to 10000 unassorted
letters reach San Francisco nearly
every day, where it is necessary to
put the postoffice employees at work
ON them with a corresponding de-
lay in delivery.

and its tributary camps before the
public, we believe it would be a
good idea for the representative
men of this town to get together
and organize an Information Bur-
eau, and in that way advertise this
district thoroughly throughout the
country through the medium OF
tho news and mining papers of the
eastern, middle and western states.
By SO doing the investing pub
lie would be introduced to the
many good mining prospects OF
this district, and would be induced
to come aud join our camp and to
help develop our unlimited resour-
ces, which have been SO bounti-
fully stored away in our midst.
We. cannot draw the investor TO
our camp without first exploiting
what We have, and elso telling how
they eau be benefited by coming
in with us and helping develop
our properties.
1t is up to everyone who has
the interest of this district at
heart, to get in line and boost for
its future welfare. Let us see if
we can't get our share of the in
vestor's help to promote our prop
critics, which are pronounced by
experts to be as good and better
than many other sections in the
Sagebrush State.
There can be no question as re-
CARDS the good results which can
be obtained from the successful
operation of the above plan of ad-
vertising the mining industry OF
this section. But the success or
failure of the scheme will depend
not only upon those in charge, but
also upon the people themselves.
In the field of journalism there
is vast difference in the functions
of regular established newspaper
and a special correspondent. One
newspaper will have dozens of cor
respondents, and one correspond
ent can act for dozens of news.
papers. He is like a reporter,
only instead of turning in copy
for one paper he serves many.

is one Of the potent factors in the

it will be of great material benef
to all concerned in bringing oul
mineral resources to the front.
We are told by men coming
from the southern camps tina

soon be headed for this section

Why People End Their Lives.

The New York World compiled a
page of interesting facts on the
growth of suicide, and gives the fol-
lowing reasons why some persons end
ed their lives: Josiah B. Riddle, of
Jefferson City. Mo-, because he was
too fat. Irene Baltimore Boggins, of
Atlantic City, because she had a new
lavender dress to be buried in. Pom.
iepo Fulponi, of Chicago, because he
was In love with a marble statue OF
Venus. Mrs. William Thomas, of
Punxsutawney, Pa, because her hair
was turning gray. Herman Recyling,
OF West Hazleton, Pa, because he
missed a train. James Andrews, Of
Oxford, Pa, because he had to speak
at commencement exercises before
girls. Mrs. Grace De Wolf, of St.
Louis, because she could not bear to
be separated from her sister-in-law.
Robert Lehman, of Des Moines, Ia,
because he believed his family re-
ferred to him when they sang Every
body Works But Father George
Hawthorne Smith, of New York, be-
cause he believed himself too old at
45 years. All of which goes to show
that human life does not weigh very
heavy, after all.

Radium and Its Revelations.

That the discovery of radium and
radio-activity has brought into ques-
tion some of the most firmly estab-
lished theories of modern science Is
well known, but recent address de-
livered at York, England, by Prof.
Lancaster, the noted British scientist,
indicates that the upsetting of pre-
vious conceptions has been greater
than is generally imagined. New
chemical elements have been revealed
in rapid succession in recent years,
but radium is the most wonderful of
all. 1t has raised up doubts concern
ing ideas that had been accepted as
the fundamental bases of scientific
speculation. 1t has caused new
study OF the atomic theory, opening
up the question whether the trans
mutability of elements may not after
all be a possibility The number of
new problems which may follow the
discovery of this extraordinary ele-
ment with its mysterious power Of CIV
ing off energy from some source with
in itself can even now be only con-
5ectured. The question of the evolu-
tion of the solar system and the prob
able age of the world will have to be
restudied in the light of the knowl-
edge brought by radium. Prof. Ian
kester points out that heretofore all
the calculations as to the probable
past duration of the earth and the
length of the various geological pc.
riods have been based on the assump.
tion that the material of the earth was
self-cooling. With the discovery that
a small quantity of radium diffused
through the earth would maintain its
tion one of the most firmly established
theories of the physicists becomes un.
tenable. A fraction of one per cent
Of radium in the suns mass would
make good the heat annually lost by
it. So far as concerns this method
OF calculation the geologists may have
to revise their views entirely, extend
ing the probable past of the earth in.
definitely. Prof. Lankester's words,
says the Chicago Daily News, open up
remarkable vistas as to the possibili-
ties of new investigations and illus.
trate in striking way the tentative
and uncertain character of much of
that which has been accepted as truth.
Our knowledge of all the greater phe-
nomena of material nature seems.
