SNAKE DIvlNlTlEs.
Fantastic Forms of Worship on
Southwest Coast of India.

Fantastic Forms of Worship ON
Southwest Coast of India.
| Serpent worship and the Precipitation
OF snake diyinities, which once spread
all over Asia, still maintain a tena-
cious hold on the little native states Of
Cochin and Travancore, on the south
west coast Of India Here Hindoos
high and low revere the cobra as they
did thousand years ago, and it is con-
s1dered he1nous crime to injure the
| reptile OF neglect its interests.
IN the district of Travancore alone
there are between $4,000 and 10000
shrines dedicated exclusively to the
worship of snakes which possess ex-
tenslve and valuable properties for
thelr maintenance and for the cost Of
the ceremonies which the keepers have
to perform from time to time.
In these shrines the Hindoos set down
fantastic idols Of serpents Oh a stone
base, and the shrine is protected by a
mud wall. Householders to assure their
welfare should make offerings of
dough, milk and cooked rice to the ser
pertlne habitues Of the shrine and
place lights and chant hymns in order
to be assured of their favor.
Every morning the king and queen of
the serpents are bathed, and fruit and
milk are offered to them, to be followed
at noon by cooked rice and fried grain.
On certain days the idols in grove and
household temple are carried in pro-
cession to the house, where propitia-
tary offerings are made. The presiding
functionary must be the eldest female
member Of the family, who has to prac-
tice celibacy from the day she attains
the position.
At famous snake festivals at Travan-
core pious folk gather from all parts
to join in the worship, bringing offer
ings of gold, silver, grain, pepper,
spices, Oil, sandalwood, silk and other
things. The cost Of the festivals is de-
frayed by the revenues of the paddy
fields and gardens attached to the
shrines. 1t is believed that unless the
ceremonies are conducted with rever-
ence the largest cobras of the grove
will come out and show themselves to
the members Of :. the house. The ma
tves also believe that snake bites in
the neighborhood of these shrines new
er prove fatal. Be that as it may,
deaths from snake bites are very rare.
though many groves contain as many
as thirty cobras and the shrines in Ira
vancore number between fifteen and
twenty thousand. y
The snakes Of India are rarely ag-
gressive, but generally keep to the: i
selves, and, being so kindly treated and
benevolently attended, it is not aston
ishing that they become docile and
harmless. All over Travancore the peo-
pie when they see snake approaching
say, "The god is coming" and make
way for the divinity. Children play
fearlessly about the groves while their
serpentine friends are gliding about or
basking in the sun and have never been
known to be harmed. When the groves
become overrun with serpents the sur
plus population is removed and sent to
other shrines, certain pious Brahmans
being especially applied to for this pur-
pose.-New York Herald

A GOOD STRIKE MADE
AT MASONIC CAMP

j. T. Shaw and Wills Brougher, of the
Masonic Gold Mountain company, re-
turned yesterday from Masonic where
they spent a week looking after affairs
at the camp. They report a good strike
has been made on the property of the
company in the district. The strike
was made while driving a shaft to catch
a high grade ledge which crops on their
claims for a distance of 400 feet. Be
fore they had reached the 100-foot level
they Unexpectedly cut a ledge which as
says from $40 to $50 and runs five feet
in width. AT the 100-foot level they be-
gan to crosscut for the known ledge and
when they left camp the workmen had
already entered the porphyry dyke car
rying the values.
The company recently obtained the
True Friend group of claims. a continual
ton of the famous Jump Up Joe prop
erty, and on this trip Messrs. Shaw and
Brougher acquired two more adjacent
claims. The two are thought to be ex-
tremely rich and development work will
begin within a short time on them. Sew
eral other strikes are also reported in
the district.
A new road is now being constructed
from Sweetwater to the district. which
will reduce the distance between Carson
City and the camp.-Carson News.

BALD MOUNTAIN FIGURES
In SEVERAL LARGE DEALS
rhe Reno Journal SAYS:

The Reno Journal says:
The deal for the Skaggs Bros copper
mines at Bald FOUNTAIN has been closed.
and $4,000 has already been placed in
one of the Elk banks to make the first
payment in November. Boston and New
York capital is behind this deal and
$780, 600 is the price to be paid for the
mines.
This copper property just sold by the
Skaggs BIOS. was owned about three
years ago by several Eureka parties. but
when they pessect-1 to do their annual
assessment work the Skaggs brothers
relocated the ground. 1t was just a
good prospect when they relocated the
property. but in doing the assessment
work they opened up a fine body of cop
per ore, and this is said to have been
steadily increasing in quantity and rich
ness.
j. Fl. Schenck, representative of Nixon
and Wingfield in the Bald
country, arrived in town Wednesday. He
is very confident that Bald
will make a wonderful camp, and says
that already there are some fine show
ings in several of the properties there.
The Sandstone mine, owned by Messrs.
Nixon and wingheld and himself has
developed into a fine free milling gold
proposition. This property has been
trenched for a distance of over 800 feet
and makes a fine surface showing.
Preparations are now being made to sink
a shaft on this property to a depth of
about 500 feet and to prosecute active
development work.
