point where the strike was made eight
days ago and shipments have just been
begun, the ore running from 5000 to
$500 ton.
The width of the ore body is still in
doubt, as the second wall has not been
reached. but the work is being pushed
as rapidly as possible. The lessees
have wired to have additional machin-

grumbling because even passenger

Speaking Of other phases of the
present situation at Manhattan. Mr
Wolfe said that leasers are working
again. which he considers a strong
sign Of confidence on the part Of the
men on the ground, who have an op-
Portunity TO Judge of what is there.
The Tonopah Exploration Company
has tested what is reasonably sup
posed TO be representative ore and is
satisfied that the expense to be as
sumed on account OF the Manhattan
camp is justified by the showing re-
sulting from the tests.
The mineral ground about Manhat-
tan that has been proved includes
about twelve square miles. It is
about eight miles long and one and
one half wide The formation has
its own characteristics In one part
the values lie in shales in the pres
ence Of sflicious dikes. At the north
east end Of the district the values
are in porphyry dikes- Manhattan

Gingerbread Barometer.

1t has taken a clever Frenchman
to discover a kind of barometer
which may be safely called unique.
An English journal says that it is
nothing more or less than the figure
of general made of gingerbread.
He hangs it by string on a nail.
Gingerbread. as every one knows. is
easily affected by changes in the at
mosphere. The slightest moisture rem
ders it soft. while in dry weather it
grows hard and tough. Every morn
ing, on going out, the Frenchman asks
his servant, What does the general
say?' and the man applies his thumb
to the gingerbread figure Perhaps he
may reply: The general feels soft.
He would advise you to take an UNI
brella." On the other hand if the
gingerbread is hard and unyielding to
the touch, it is safe to go forth in
ones best attire, umbrella-less and
confident The Frenchman declares
that the general has never yet proved
unworthy of the confidence placed in
him. and would advise all whose purse
will not allow them to purchase ba-
or aneroid, to see what the To-
cal baker can do for them in the gin
gerbread line.-Harpers.

An OBJ Race,

In Canada boys have barrel races,
and they are great fun.
These races are on ice
Ordinary barrels, with their heads
removed, are placed at regular inter-
walls along the raeecourse for about
a quarter of a mile.
Then, at given signal all the boys
skate for the first barrel. Many
reach it together and, as each skater
must pass through all the barrels in
order to win, there is quite a scram-
BILE for first turn.
Sometimes a barrel wheels conf
pletely around while a boy is working
his way through it, and when he
comes out, he is SO confused that he
skates Off in the wrong direction. U.s.
ually the laugh of the spectators
makes him realize his blunder, and
ne quickly turns about and tries to
make up for lost time. 1t is quite
an exciting sport and an amusing
one also for the spectators, as the
boys and barrels bob about in the
most ludicrous fashion.

Games for EVENINGS.

Games in which both young and old
may find enjoyment are in great de-
mand during the holidays, when de-
lightful family reunions are the order
of the season. The old games under
new names are quite as much enjoyed
as more novel ones, and as rule
those are most enjoyed which do not
necessitate too much mental labor.
occasionally one requiring some effo,t
of the mind will prove enjoyable, but
this should only be suggested as an
innovation.
An absurdly amusing play is thai
known as bundle" game. This =
