Every year I am entreated contin-

course most women gladly accept those
invitations, just as an actress does the
offer of an engagement at theater-
for 1t enables the one and the other to
exploit herself to the public. The act

and I maintain that women in my po-

a charity bazaar stall. In the course

Millionaires and rich elder sons never

do not give Stockholders opportunities

This decision was reacRed at the NIL

Six cities were in the race. Boston.
Omaha and Norfolk were the favorites.
On behalf of Boston it was claimed

its central location to the consideration

WONDER LOOKING UP.
Original Group of Mines Purchased For
Three Hundred Thousand.

GOLDFIELD, New, Sept 3o.-Word
has been brought in from Wonder that
the Tonopah Mining Company has taken
UP It's option on the Wonder group of
claims for $4,000 This group was
the original discovery of the Wonder
district and contains some remarkably
good showings. A twelve-foot ledge
has been cut which averages about 500
to the ton.
1t is rumored that the Tonopah &
Goldfeld Railroad Company will build
branch to this camp; also that the
Southern Pacific contemplates taking in
the new camp on a line which it will
build from Fallon to Saltwater, about
thirteen miles.
Patrick, Elliott & Camp. who have
the North Star group. almost adjoining
the Wonder group, and the Jack Pot
group, report a good showing on their
property The firm is building a tele-
phone line from Fairyiew to Wonder
and will soon open a banking institu-
tion, to be known as the Wonder Bank
ing Corporation.
Teams are busy hauIing lumber and
supplies to the district, which now
numbers over 500 inhabitants. Nearly
all the desirable town lots on the main
street have been sold at good figures
and many buildings are being erected
In many RESPECTS the district re-
sembles Goldfeld, but the proportion of
silver in the ore is greater.

According to reports from Peking

INDEPENDENCE SHOWS VALUES.
Bullion Ships Ores That Yield In Elk.
= cess of 800.

GQLDFIELD, Nev.. Sept. 30.&"The
Independence is looking better every
day" said Richard Colburn who re-
turned yesterday FOR. that Bullion prop
erty. 1--WE have sent out our third car
of. ore, containing thirty tons, and the
sampler controls sh1w 5 per cent cop
per, II ounces of silver and So per cent
lead, which Will net us sio1.47 a ton.
For the second ear of twenty-five tons
we got a check for s1,302.66, so you
see the values are. getting better"
The. ores from the independence are
treated free Of charge by the smelt-
ers.
The winze from the tunnel has been
equipped with a whim and will be sunk
to depth of $50 feet before extensive
stoping is commenced.
On the Grand Prize, adjoining, which
is owned by Colburn, Lee Lakin and
J. p. Kane, prospecting has revealed
two new ore shoots from which three
tons Of rich ore were taken in the
course of exploratory work The
Grand Prize ores are of the same char
aeter and grade as the independence.
Colburn says the Bullion district Is
active and entering on a prosperous
period. Nearly all the mines have good
materially to pay the expenses incurred
in opening them. The independence is
producing two tons of ore a day. from
development work alone and other
properties are making good showing.
A correspondent from this district
says: The Gold Bar is making regu-
lar shipments of ore running from 500
to $400. ton. The company is granting
leases running from six months to one
year on 15 per cent royalty. Freight
by rail to Salt Lake and treatment
charges amount to s19 ton. Mining
men are coming in rapidly. There are
two daily stages in from Tenabo on the
main line of the Southern Pacific, the
outfitting point for the Bullion dis
trict."

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, Is unfit TO care

trouble between children and their
mothers too often Is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak

the strain upon her nerves that govern

for her TO do anything calmly.
The ills Of women act like firebrand

DIAMONDS VS.. Y. N. c. A.

This League fixture took place on
Saturday at the Baseball. Park, when
both teams took the field at full
strength.
The Heads had the better Of the
opening exchanges. and soon began to
exert pressure on the Initials citadel
with the result that No. goal was
soon recorded. Nothing daunted, the
Initials opened out and took up the
running, but were weak in finishing
when at the goal mouth, Haley and
Robbins being the worst of the quin-
tet In this respect. End.to-end runs
resulted for some considerable time
without any result, although the
Heads came near scoring on several
occasions. Beardmore, beaten by Fer
nandaz after a pretty piece of play by
the Heads forwards, and Clark's judi
cious feeding OF the ball to them, was
In the main responsible for this point.
After some tame play midfleld the
Y. NJ. c. A. got away on the right and
from q pass by oss to Spalding the
latter beat the Heads custodian. Play
continued brisk up to the closing
stages. but the Heads were the more
dangerous when in proximity of the
goal than their opponents and II was
only the splendid defence OF Macaulay
and Turner that kept the scoring low
| for their side. Near the finish the
Heads notched a third goal from a
scrimmage and, Judging by their inn
proved display, they will give some of
the older teams all their work to hold
them down in later matches. The left
wing OF the Y. NJ. c. A. spoiled many
likely chances of converting by null
ing the ball when near goal and were
mostly passengers as compared with
the rest of the team. Mr. Flddes In
the capacity of referee kept the teams
well In hand and. the result was:
