Another Mining Deal

The Yankee Girl mine situated a few
miles from Wellington has been sold
to the Golden Scepter Mining Co. of
Goldfield whose president is j. G. Nc
Cormack. The Yankee Girl was the
property of Morris Mack of this place
and John Taylor of Smith valley and
the selling price will reach into the
thousands The location of the mine
was made by Taylor few years ago
when the latter was working on grub
stake by Mr.. Mack. The original own
errs have never worked the property
to an great extent although at one
time they eneo inferred pay chute of
ore which netted them $500. Since
tnen they have been doing work on
the shaft which was calculated to
strike the pay chute at greater depth,
but their calculations proved awry and
they missed the chute. At the time
of the sale work of drifting toward
the r4ch streak had just begun.
John Taylor is an old prospector
who has given the best years of his life
to the pursuit of the elusive goddess
of fortune in the form of rich ledge.
His good fortune at this time, there
fore. is not unmerlted and he can now
spend the remaining years of his life
in peace and plenty.

The Winters mine is one of

We do not believe that any

The passenger train, which was load

Secret Sought for Years by In

New York.-South Dakota cities are
supplied with electric lights, the
power for which is generated by arte
sian wells; farm machinery is run by
motors, and turbine wheels operated
by the gushing wells between the Mis-.
souri, and James rivers, but it has also
been left to a South Dakota farmer to
discover that enough electricity may
be taken from the air above the buttes
to furnish the power which will run
electric lights, thrashing machines
and water pumps.
Such a discovery is one of the mar
wells Of the electrical world and a
dream of inventors for decades, but
John H. Stranhan, son of well-to-do
farmer near Miller, S. d.. has made
the discovery. and from Sully buttes
maybe seen a number of tandem box
kites, while half way to the earth on
No. copper wire, hangs a strange
white box the size of a beehive
From the copper wires which de-
scend from this box enough electrical
energy is secured to run the motors
with which the Stranhan home is
lighted, a feed grinder and threshing
machine operated. and big electrical

When Is an Old Maid7

When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
of delicate innuendo, is now figuring
in the somnolent discussion of Phila-
delphia society. One might say that
a girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes, but that is not
the point What is the exact year
that ushers in spinsterhood and closes
forever the gates of youth? OF course,
this Is not a matter in which man
has any word to say. No rational
wearer of trousers would tempt fate
and the scorn of femininity by at
tempting a suggestion, for any arbi-
trary dead line would necessarily
bring down upon the luckless mascu-
line head a storm of reprobation. 1t
has been left to the women them
selves to brave the peril. And they
have placed the age at 40 years.
Under this ruling woman is a ten
der bud until twoscore years have
counted their gloomy litany of days
and the hair near the scalp begins to
whiten.
