Harry Jones, a young negro was ac-
cused before Justice Crutchfield yesterday
of taking s4S from the person of William
Payne, another negroh There was no
real evidence to show that he had done
anything until Detective Gibson broke
into the game and asked a few pertinent
questions. Then 1t developed that Harry
had gone to a negro saloon and left a
roll of bills and afterwards said that he
was anxious to look at the sights on the
inside of the penitentiary. Two women
testified that he had told them that he
had taken the money from Payne's
pocket. All of this came at once, and
when 1t came. 1t was like a blow from
the right arm of q giant landing against

will investigate.

option on a group of copper claims in

in White Pine county and he says he
never saw a better prospect in his life.
He thinks the group is all right and is

payment -four months hence he will own

Charles E. Mcconnell, mayor of Dur

Girl, the Excelsior, the Colorado, the
Eureka and the Summit
The deal was made Saturday. Mr..
Mcconnell agreed to spend not less than
$500 month in developing the mines
during the term of the bond. but it is
probable that he will at once commence
active development work, which will
mean the expenditure every month OF
many times the amount stipulated in
the bond.
There is shaft upon the Willard
property, and in it very promising indi-
cations of ore have been found.

POSTAGE STAMP TONGUE.
Disorder Resulting from the Unclcan
Habit of Licking the
Stamps.

"A number of ailments, some of them
extremely dangerous, are comprised
under the general head of postage
stamp tongue" said Il physician. Post
age-stamp tongue, in Il word is any
disorder contracted from the licking
of postage stamps.
Three or four persons a week visit
me with postage-stamp tongues. They
have throat trouble, or a skin dis
ease, or pulmonary complaint,
brought on by the reckless habit OF
stamp licking.
"A stamp should never be licked, as
its gummed surface is always squirm-
ing and pdlsating with germs. If any
licking is to be done, let it be applied
TO the right hand corner of the en-
yelope, whore the stamp goes, for there
the germs are apt to be sparser.
TO be safe. though. the tongue
should never be applied to either en-
velope or stamp. A damp sponge
should be used in the tongues stead"

his mule to be seven years old and
told of the many good traits the ami

About two months later the other

been victimized in the bargain and
that the beast was fully II years old.
So he decided to go back and tell the

animal. However, owing to it being
the busy season of farming, he was not
able to go until about the middle OF

Custer the Metallurgist
Become FesIer's Partner

A. +. Custer, former chief chemist
and metallurgist at the Bingham Con
solidated smelter has decided to
locate in Ely where he has
formed partnership with J. A. Fesler,
of the Lane City Townsite Co. The
firm will be known as Fesler & Custer,
assaycrs and chemists. They are now
having a building constructed on Ault-
man street and as soon as it is completed
will install modern assay office with
balances, crushing and sampling ma
chinery of the most modern make. Their
office will no doubt be headquarters
for mining men.
Mr.. Custer, after spending two weeks
looking over the camp with view to
locating here. returned to Salt Lake,
where he told interestingly of his OBJ
servations here.
Real Estate and building are GER
tainly on the boom there" said Mr..
Custer, and during the past six months
real estate values have increased 200
per cent and are still increasing.
Billings are being constructed as fast
as material can be secured. On Main
street lots are selling at from $1,000 to
$40, 900 and are leasing at 5000 per
month.
"a number of Salt Lake people have
secured some of the best mining prop
erty in the camp and will no doubt make
strike. Senator Kearns and David
Keith. are working their property with
good force of men and are now build
ing houses for the accumulation of
more men which they will put on as
soon as the houses are completed.
