IT IS ALL ELY NOW

Almost as good as Ely - prob
ably the richest copper camp
in the state except Ely with
development these properties
may show up as we'll as the Ely
mines,o are some of the express
sions used by our contempora-
ries in describing their camps.
Everything copperwise in Neva-
da is compared to Ely. In no
other way is it possible to gain
a hearing.
We know how it is by expe-
rience. Ely used TO utilize
Butte in the same way. But
that was some time ago, and
there are no eggs in last years
nest You could drop every
thing that Butte has into this
district today and it would take
a surveyor to locate the Mon
tana mines among the 45 square
miles of porphyry dykes here
abouts.
Ely is not Jealous of Butte. On
the contrary We think Butte,
like Rome, has great future
in its past" History will make
mention of the town as the start
ing point Of copper mining in
the West. and years hence. when
Ely has grown to be city of
100, 900 population, Butte will
be held in grateful remem brance
as the alma mater of competent
miners. Thus will the fame of
the town be perpetuated long
after its decline.
To the new Nevada camps we
offer encouragement and our
sympathetic interest. OF the
existence of copper elsewhere in
the state we haven't the least
doubt. That it has been found
in enormous quantities we verify
believe. But Ely is the hub of
the copper universe just nov
and you'll have to "show us" be-
fore we can become enthusiastic
about the bronze bullion of other
counties.

1t was really his duty to sacrifice his left
hand to save the frail little girl and re-
store her to strength and health. He
wanted to be kind and generous, yet the

horror.
Presently he left the tree house and wan

the question.
Eyes, I don't often stray so far" was
the reply, but had an idea of calling on
the princess. Where is she?'
''Shes sick today" said the gingerbread
man.
That's bad" declared the bear. shaking
his head sadly. "She seems to be failing
every day. Poor little princess!"
John moved uneasily, for every word was
reproach to him.
How are you getting on with the Milf
kets?' asked Para Brun.
''They made me a prisoner this morning,
gerbread man. See here!' and he held up
the stump of his left hand.
What has become of your hngers?"
"A black Mffket named Ooboo bit them
Off and ate Them" was the answer.
That's curious said the bear, rubbing
his nose thoughtfully with one paw. DO

The methods Of procedure for the acquire
ment of music are like those In vogue In
the main library. The bulk Of accessions
comes through the operation Of the national
and international copyright. For example.
in 1905. 22,671 pieces were acquired by copy
right, 1.575 by purchase, 400 by exchange,
GO by transfer. So by binding and 161 by
gift, The international copyright has been
of inestimable benefit in drawing to the
library German, Italian, French and Eng
lish compositions. The national copyright
brings all music published in the United
States. The latter goes first to the copy
right division, where the proper entries are
made, and is then turned over to the music
room. There 1t is classified and catalogued.
Classification and cataloguing has been
done only for recent accessions; about one
quarter Of the collection (including part Of
the material on hand when the library was
removed from the CapitoD remains unclassi-
fed. The work Of classification Is being
pushed as rapidly as possible, so that even
this old material will soon be available.
AS the copyright brings not only good
music, but all MGsic. the Library must take
some chan with its wheat. In addition
to classics and the lighter class Of pleas
ing melody, there IL quantity of songs
and pieces, which, so far from soothing the
savage breast. would rouse feelings Of saw
agery in most civilized beings. These how

time an hour, ago? I watched them from
my mountain and saw everything. Black

which is nothing less than concentrated
energy and strength and vitality and
knowledge. The fingers have made Ooboo
the most powerful Mifket in the island,
so it is no wonder he has become king"
Para Bruin listened to this carefully. and,
after moments thought, he said:
IF that is the case. John Dough, you
must feed some of yourself to the prin-
cess to make her strong again."
That's what Chick says; but I don't

going back to my mountain, and, IL you
don't save the little princess, I'll never
speak to you again."
Away stalked Para Bruin, and John
Dough arose with a sigh and walked far
into the forest, trying to make up his
mind what to do. He came to the bank of
the brook presently, and, seating himself
into the rushing water in deep thought.
From the distance came the roar of water
falling over the big dam which the beavers
had built, and once or twice Mifket
strayed that way and looked curiously at
the silent figure of the gingerbread man.
But they had orders from the Arab and
Ooboo not to disturb him, SO they crept
away again and joined their fellows among
the giant plants.
A long time John Dough sat there by the
stream, until suddenly hes was aroused
from his musings by shrek of discordant
laughter behind him.
"Ho, no, no! What an absurd thing!
Who'd ever have thought it?"
He turned around and saw a gorgeous
macaw standing on a log back of him.
The bird was all aglow with crimson and
green feathers, and its black eyes twinkled
mischievously, while continuous shouts of
laughter came from it's ruff1ed throat
keep still, can't your" said John. in an
annoyed tone. What are you laughing at,

ears, and looking around, he found that
numerous band of the fierce Mitkets had
stolen upon him. and were now coming
forward, armed with huge clubs, which
they had broken from the forest plants,
and which were as solid and heavy as the
branches of trees.
Surrender" cried the leader, knowing
that the gingerbread man understood their
language; king Ooboo wants you for his
luncheon and Ali Dubh is also hungry"
For a moment John Dough was most
frightened. 1t was not likely that his
strength would enable him to escape from
SO many of his enemies, and he almost
gave himself up for lost. For before him
was the stream of water-almost deadly
to him as the close ranks of the Mifkets
behind him. The macaw was strutting up
and down beside him, and at his look of
despair the bird said:
You're surely in a bad way. my friend;
but believe / can save you. When / fly
up grab my feet, and I'll carry you away
to your dwelling"
your he exclaimed, gazing at the bird
in surprise; you are by no means big
enough to fly away with me-"
"Size doesn't count for much" chuckled
the macaw: "and since l breakfasted of
your coat tails feel myself to be as strong
to-"
John decided that it was worth attempt
ing, being the only thing to do. The Mif-
kets were pressing closer, and soon he
would be within reach of their clubs. &c.
as the macaw flew into the air John grasp
ed its legs with his right hand (Which was
the only hand that had fingers), and, sure
enough. the strength of the little bird was
SO great that it easily drew him up into
the air, high above the heads of his chat
tering and disappointed foes.
Fooled again." cried the macaw; but, of
course. the Mifkets did not understand the
words. Away over the tops of the giant
plants flew the bird. with John Dough
clinging to as legs, and it was not long
before it gradually descended again and

ing toward him one black eye, In a saucy
manner, and winking comically. "I ate

greatly refreshed Were 1t not for the
Arab, I'd hope to get another meal off
you, but. between the Arab and the Milf

Tale of a Lost Cow
And a Projects Mistake
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROME. November 80, 1906.
THIS is the tale of COW and project
of police. The project lost his COW
and sent out, through the regular
police channels, a general alarm by tele-
graph. Now, that project and cow both
lived In Sicily. but the general Geographic
Narm went all over Italy-into the utter
most corners Of the 10000 square miles
of mountain and lowland.
That's where the project made his mis-
take, for it presupposed that the cow per-
formed the miracle of swimming the
Straits of Messina and gaining the main
land, also travelling some hundreds of miles
in as many hours. These facts. at first
overlooked, later attracted attention. and
an ubiquitous journalist in the extreme
north of Italy published an interesting
article on the COW and how, IL 1t had had
wings or had been a passenger in a fast
travelling airship, 1t might have arrived in
his town, q, few minutes after the official
telegram.
When other papers took up the tale of the
cow officials in the department of posts and
telegraphs and the department Of Justice
began tearing their hair.
The government only recently issued a
circular complaining OF official extrava-
gance In the matter OF kilograms. Here.
