"a misapprehension about the
strength of red and white wines ex.
lists" said a Californian. Because
rel wine has a darker, richer look
people think 1t Is more intoxicating.
The opposite, really, is the case. Red
wines are made by fermenting grape
juice, skins and seeds together. White
wines are made by fermenting juice
alone. In the skins and seeds there
is a lot of tannin, and red wine con
tains much tannin, while white wine
contains none. This ~tannin, an astrin-
gent, closes the pores of the stomach
and prevents tho alcohol in the red
wine from entering the blood freely,
and going, as the saying is, to the
head.
White wine-ohampagne, for in
stance-has no tannin and hence its
intoxicating properties are much more
keenly to be feared than those of the
tannin-flled red wine"

Paris Nov. 15.-Mme. Gould, as the
former Countess De Castellane will
call herself from this time on, was
not present when the decision was
given in her suit for divorce. Ii
received the news in her residence in
the Avenue Malakoff, where her sister,
Miss Helen Gould, and she were
awaiting the outcome of the case.
Highly Satisfied.
Nine. Gould has suffered so much
that she received the announcement
of the decision without great evidence
of emotion, and declared that she was
highly satisfied with the terms of the
verdict.
Will Not Leave Paris.
At present her plans are indefinite.
1t is known, however, that she had no
immediate intention of quitting Paris,
or even France. Her sister will re
main with her until after the Christ
mas holidays, and by that time her
future course of action will probably
have been decided.
Will Provide for Boni.
Just exactly what financial settle
ment she will make with Count Boni
Is not known, but it is known that
she will not only make him a liberal
allowance, but will also provide sub
stantially for his father and mother,
the Marquis and Marquise De Cas-
tellane.
Stands by Father of Children.
Many of her friends have urged her
to cut off Boni without a cent, should
the court decide in her favor, but to
all their advice she has answered.:
Would you have me allow the father
of my children to appear before the
world a bankrupt"
Who Will Care for Boni?

the qualification of his reckless and
imperial prodigality has been cut off

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 15.-Thes state
board of sheep commissioners met here
this morning and placed Albany coun-
ty under quarantine for sheep, requir-
ing that before sheep may be shipped
from the county they shall be branded
as scabby or dipped. This measure
was taken after some discussion. 1t
is said that the disease was brought
to hat county two years ago from
Montana in a shipment of sheep to
E. j. Bell, the sheep having passed
government inspection.
Members of the Board.
The board consists of DR., j. M. Will
son of Douglas, president, and Timothy
Kinney of Gokeville and ]. A. Delfelder
of Lander. The scabies situation in
Albany county is reported as serious.
Infected sheep have exposed other
sheep scattered over a wide range of
country, and it was deemed necessary
to quarantine the county to prevent
the spread of the disease to other sec
lions of the state.
Dipping Before Shipping.
The sheep commission cannot at
this time compel the Albany county
to dip their sheep, the
state law protecting the fockmasters
from such an order from November l
March l, but they can compel any
fiockmaster who desires to ship sheep
from Albany county to dip the animals
before they are placed on the cars.

SOME UNEASINESS.
Second Visitation to Quarantine Sta

and Sum of Money-Police Pre-
pairing to Round UP and Jail
Those Found Late at Night.

The burglars and providers operating
in the Second ward are still getting in
their work and the neighborhood is on
the verge of nervous prostration from
fear and suspense. There is evidently
a gang that knows the situation, and
if some of its members are not made
to bite the dust before they are
through, it will not be the fault of the
enraged citizens of the neighborhood,
who are preparing to adopt drastic
measures in dealing with the situation.
A Second Visitation.
A second visitation was made last
night to the scarlet fever quarantine
on Eighth street, and while the would
be burglar confined his attentions to
the outside of the building, he sue
ceeded in frightening the occupants
just the same. He raped on the win
dow near one of the boys living there
and the nurse saw him plainly. When
If he comes again he may not be able
to fee.
A Reported Burglary.
1t was reported that the home of
Mr.. Patterson had been robbed of a
purse containing SIG, but George A.
Patterson, the Fourth street machin-
list, n George Patterson, the court
stenographer, declared they had not
been robbed. The police visited the
machinist's home, but he declared he
had not been molested, and a tele-
phone message from the court official
was to the same tenor.
Busy on Eighth.
Mrs. Ed Palmquist, at AL Eighth, is
sure a burglar or someone else was
prowling around her house for some
time Tuesday night, when the quar-
antine station was robbed, as her dog
kept barking furiously for half an
hour. She arose and peered through
the window without turning on a light,
but no one was to be seen.
Someone tried for half the night
Tuesday night to effect an entrance to
the home of Ed McBroom. but the
windows held fast and entrance was
not effected.
Police Will Assist.
The police have been informed and
preparations to more thoroughly guard
the neighborhood are being made.
Men armed with guns and pistols will
patrol the district, with orders to ar
rest every person found under sus-
picious circumstances.

AND OTHER NEVADA
MINlNGCENTERS.
Greatest Rush Ever Known in History
of Mining and Some of the Mar
veIousIy Rich Mines Developed
Laramie and Wyoming People
Strike Rich Things and Others Are
Hopeful-Streets Always Crowded.

Special TO The Republican.
Goldfeld, New, Nov. 12.-Having
been a subscriber of your paper and a
resident of Laramie for the most of
my life, | will take the liberty of again
writing you a few lines and let my
old Wyoming frienus and %aoqua1nJ-
ances know, through your paper, a lit
tie of the most wonderful mining boom
the world has ever witnessed.
The Greatest Ever.
l have talked with a number of old
miners from Cripple Creek and Lead
vile, and, in fact, men who have been
at almost every mining boom during
the last half century, and all agree in
saying that Goldfeld is at the pre- sent
time enjoying, or at least enduring,
the greatest mining excitement the en-
tire world has ver seen.
Gone Up by Leaps and Bounds.
While some of the Virginia City
stocks reached the marvellous price
of 500 per share, they were a in
growing to that price, but at Goldfeld
they have jumped up by leaps and
bounds.
Stocks in the Mowhak mine have
jumped from 60 cents in July to $3.50
on the 18th of November, and there is
no sign of a let up as yet. Other
stocks are following close behind in
regard to price.
A Million a Month.
1t is claimed that the Mowhak is
producing 81, 900, 900 per month in
gold. The whole mine is run under
the leasing system n there are at
the present time hfty-two hoists run
ming on the Mowhak company's two
claims.

he had a contract for erecting twenty.
eight gallows frames before New

Town Growing Rapidly.
The people here claim a population
of $4,000 people n every train that
arrives from the outside is loaded to
its full capacity. There is not a spare
room nor bed to be had in this won
derful city. A few days since two wo-
men arrived here and had to sit up
in a store through the night. being IN
able to obtain a bed or room. With
all the influx of men to this unprece-
denied camp, there is not a miner in
the vast multitude who wants work
and cannot get it. Only yesterday 1
saw two bosses up town looking
around on the streets for miners.
Same at Other Camps.
In regard to the labor question, the
same conditions prevail at both Tono-
pah and Manhattan, I myself having
seen two bosses on the streets of
Tonopah looking for miners.
These are all very strong union
camps, and there is not a miner in
either of the four great camps, Man

Laramieites in Evidence.
Any one from Laramie would meet
many old acquaintance out in this
country, there being a great many
Wyomingites in the great rush, among
them being James M. Fenwick and
Dan Mcleod, a former railroad man,
and Charlie Benton. besides others too
numerous to mention. Joe Enkhouse,
a former resident of North park and
Grand Encampment, and who has
oftimes visited Laramie, was elected
constable of Manhattan. Mr.. Enk-
house sold 1000 shares of Mowhak
stock at SO per share and still is
carrying 1000 shares. Joe is now
sporting a fine watch and chain, be-
sides a 81, 500 ring on the center finger
of his left hand.
Has Bullying Pockets.
Frank McAllister, who for a number
of years owned the Rambler mine at
Holmes, sold a group of claims at
Greenwater, twenty miles from Bull
frog, for $125,OOO, getting $4,000
down. Mr.. McAllister has $4,000
shares Of Goldfeld stocks that were
yesterday selling on the San Fran
cisco stock exchange for more than
So dollars per share. Frank, like Mr..
Clubhouse, is also encountered with a
1.- -...I-1.n l., 1T. -,,1tfa frgtaaI
of on his finger.
Weber Has Rich Stock.
w. H. Weber, an superintendent
of the Rambler. is reported to have
100 shares of stock in the Nevada
Hills, which | believe is selling at SO
per share. Whether the report is gen
uine or not, | am unable to say.
Mr.. McAllister's brother, Bill, who
will be remembered by all the old
timers from Keystone, is also here,
but was, like myself, less fortunate
than his brother Frank. who has been
a resident of Nye county for fifteen
years, and has held his claims which
he has just sold for a period of eight
years.
Some Beds Have Stats.
Dan Mcleod has put in four months
of hard labor on a lease and struck
nothing, and the very adjoining block
leased by Sheets and Ish has pro
duced a fortune for both of them, so
you can see that they are not all
sleeping on the same bed of roses.
The town is building very rapidly
and every available carpenter is at
work. l saw a sign in the ~postofice
this morning asking for carpenters at
IS per day. Board is from $35 per
month upwards.
Fred Sander a Mine Owner.
Fred Sander, a brother Of John San
der of Laramie. is superintendent Of
a small mine here. I was at the post
Office this morning and stood in line
for over one hour waiting for my mail.
There were three lines which extend

up the street.

Tonopah is taking on airs very rap
idly, having in the neighborhood of a
dozen fine stone buildings which would
