The home Office of the Manhattan
Standard Mining company in this city
this week received information from
the superintendent of the property that
at a depth of 35 feet on shaft No. six
inches of ore had come in on the foot
wall which assayed SIS. Since then the
streak has been widening and values in
creasing. and the prospect looks good
for a large body of ore much above the
average. at a little greater depth. The
values in this shaft are all in gold

which amount the treasury stock, at its
present market value, $115.000, makes
the total treasury available for the
business $143.S93.20.
This splendid showing. whereby the
employment of $4,000 has in single
year resulted in opening a body of
wealth of nearly $2,500,000, is undoubt-
edly without parallel in the recent his
tory of gold mining. and is certainly a
splendid tribute to the worth of Me-
vada's gold fields, and to the men who
have accomplished It.
1t is probable that the present exist
ing pool which expires September Is,
will be indefinitely continued.

casta or Iocaste (Homer called her Epicasta)
the wife of Laius and mother OF Eedipus
Creon offered the throne, and the hand OF
Iocaste, to whoever should prove successful in
solving the riddle of the Sphinx.
Oedipus, who was then in Thebes, gave the
correct ansyer: Man, who in the morning OF
life creeps on all fours, at its noon walks on
two feet, and at its evening uses staff or
third foot.
The Sphinx thereupon threw herself to the
earth and persisted.
Oedipus was proclaimed King of Thebes, and
received the hand of his mother in marriage,
thus unconsciously fulfilling the remainder of
the prophecy.
They had lived happily together for many
years, and had four children -Eteocles, Poly
nices, Antigone and Ismene-rwhen famine
arose.
The oracle, on consulta tion, told them, to
be freed from the famine, they must purify
the land from s'the blood which defiled it."
Inquiries and investiga tions brought to light
the manner of the death of Laius, and also the
true parentage of 0edipus.

his daughter, Argia, in marriage, and promis,

Ihebes.
In order to carry out the design of enforcing
the claims of his son-in-law, Adrastus levied
large army and sought the assistance Of the
other Afgive leaders, all of whome were will

able to foresee the failnre Of the undertaking.
He endeavored to dissuade the rest from
going, but they would not listen to him, so he
tried to escape an enforced conjunction with
them by fight
Polynices bribed his wife, Eryphile, to be-
tray Amphiaraus place of concealment by
giving her magnificent necklace, made by
Vulcan, and given to Harmonic on the oc-
casion of her marriage to Cadmus.
Amphiaraus, being thsu secured. was obig-
ed to join the army, which was divided into
seven divisions and the command Of each Sdi-
vision given to one of the seven chiefs sly

Hippomedon, Adrastus and Polynices
Each chief was to lead his division in attacks
against one Of the seven gates of Thebes. The
result, as had been foretold was disastrous
All the Argive leaders were killed except
Adrastus, who was saved by the fieetness of
his horse.

heroes, which had been refused.
Creon, then reigning as king, finally consent
ed that all might be buried except Polynices,
to whom he still refused it ON account OF his
having taken arms against his own country.
Antigone, however, buried her brother in
spite of the royal command, and in conse-
quence was herself condemned to be buried
alive.

retribution for this act of cruelty in the death
Of his son Haemon, who was betrothed TO An

We generally raised large crop of corn

and good portion of it was, therefore, slowed
