Music .ud the rurtIe.

The Egyptians. according to the sage
Apollodorus, credit their Hermes or
Mercury with the invention of music
under the following circumstances:
The Nile, having overlooked it's banks
and inundated nearly all of Egypt, on
Its return to ITS banks left on its
shores various dead animals and
among the rest a tortoise, the flesh
having dried aud wasted in the sun
until nothing remained in the shell but
cartilages. These, being frightened by
the drying heat, became sonorous.
Mercury. walking along the banks Of
the river, happened to strike his foot
against this shell, was SO pleased with
the sound produced that the idea o.
the Tyre suggested itself, and he con-
structed Tyre Of the shell Of large
tortoise. which he strung with the
sinews of dead animals. Dryden
wrote:
Less than god they thought there could
not dwell
Within the hollow Of that shell
That spoke 30 sweetly.

Papyrus.

The papyrus used by the ancient
Egyptians was made from the stems
ofaA peculiar water reed growing in all
parts Of Egypt. The outside layer Of
the plant was removed, and beneath
this there were found a number Of lay
ers of delicate. pithy membrane.
These, being separated, were placed in
layers. A second layer was laid at
right angles to and above the first and
sometimes third over the second.
Heavy pressure was then applied, and
the layers were firmly cemented into a
fair article Of paper. No gum other
than what was contained in the plant
itself was used in the process. The
papyrus was very much stronger than
the average paper made. by the mod
ern machines. The sheets were COM
monty made from six to twelve inches
square.

Two Monster Beetles.

The largest bug known to the old

Goliath beetle, which Is found along
the Kongo river in Africa. Goliath is
upward Of six inches in length from
the tip of his nose to the neither end
Of his hard shelled body and has a
pair Of gauzy wings folded up under
his arms, either Of which is as large
as lady's face veil. But Goliath is q

plant beetle Of Venezuela, an entomo
logical giant which weighs nearly a
pound and which has a wing spread
equal to that Of a mallard duck. Both
Of these bugs are rare.

The Goldfhd News, along with all other papers engaged in legitimate min
ing journalism, welcomes the assistance of eastern papers in the crusade against
spurious mining companies, and will encourage their efforts wherever 1t appears
their motives are honest and their methods effective. But we cannot commend
in the interats and protection of the "por bleeding public" TO. their sinister
motives are too transparent. The drive they arem making is lot against * min
ing companies nd stocks, buta against Investment in any ant IL kind OF mining
securities and enterprises without distinction. A Pittsburg paper has been devot-
text of salping the mining fakirs, but a careful scrutiny fails % reveal the name

them against. AS a result, all mining enterprises and fotatons are mad to look
alike to the readers If that paper. The paper N question rallied particularly
against fake mining companies operating from Pittsburg. Why did not ma
la the courage % point tut those companies and call them by name, 10
that we all could be on our guard and get ut or hammer when they come along?
The only way to stamp ut such concerns is to parade them N public and M
blazon their names among the national cheats, and lot condemn mining invest
generally because there are frauds among them.
The motive an animus of the attack made lot only in the Pttsburg paper
pressed by them in their editorial and financial columns overt III money that is
bdng diverted west from eastern banks and from Legitimate securities fr
mining enterprises. No doubt this general attack, which almost seems to be n
organized campaign, has its inspiration in the banking and brokerage interests of
and dangerous indeed. when they assume proportion that threatens the gambling
of the east. The eastern press as a rleh las done very little 20 tell its
readers of the great opportunities Tor profitable investment in good western
mines, while they constantly keep before them the bugaboo If wild cat mining
operations.
But rail as they may against mining more money is coming wstf or invest
industry. The continuous advertising of western mines during the past several

the resmt that nearly everyone that reads has fair knowledge of the western

aoLDFIELD COMES UP SMILING

the prediction made by The Goldfeld News the past two weeks that the San
francisco disaster could hav a temporary efecto only on conditions at Gohfed
and other Southern Nevada camps has been confirmed.
Instead of the local banks suffering either from the San Francisco, or the
coldfeld end, they opened their doors to a splendid business, with assets intact
and plenty of ready cash for any and all demands. Depositors of the banks
showed no disposition to withdraw theirs funds, more than to meet current needs
and actually more money vas deposited N the first day than vas withdrawn
The bank ms predicted by the alarmist did lot materaize in a single instance,
nd there vas lot thu least semblance of uneasiness on any hand. The business
of the community has resumed its normal sway and 10 inconvenience to speak of
has been suffered.
The mining stock exchange also opened its doors the m day as TIT banks.
and the market vas entirely satisfactory in every respect Considerable appre-
tension had been felt o certain hands that the first day would witness a sharp
and serious break from which it would be hard to recover; but much to the sur
Prise of many and the qualification of all, the market stood up with remarkable
fmness and while a few stocks showed the effects of the Frisco smashup others
not only held their own, but materially advanced over the Taste exchange prices
It is a tribute not only to the good sense Of this business community nj to
the standing # Southern Nevada securities throughout the investing world, that
the crisis of he past few days was so successfully passed. The situation vas
handled admirably by the banks and brokers' and the investing public kent its
head and showed more good sensea and stamina than commonly displayed in such
emergencies. As a result W e can look back upon thu event lin the local financial
field as simply a circumstance, and it will not be long before it fades into a mere
remembrance
altogether.
