Local Railroad Official Visits This
New Mining District in South
eastern Nevada.
FOUND MUCH ACTIVITY THERE.

try Copper Propertle--Ccdar
Basin Country.

j. II. Burtner district passenger and
freight agent " the Salt Lake route,
has returned from a trip into the st,
Thomas mining district ln southeastern
Utah He visited Gold Butte. Cedar
Basin and other points. and was
somewhat surprised TO ind so much
activity being displayed by mining
men IN that region. Mr.. BURNER was
accompanied by Los Angeles mining
men, who went In to look at the Gentry
copper properties near Gold Butte and
TO make a general inspection Of this
wonderfully minerallzed region.
After leaving 81. Thomas. the party
spent the first night az Gold Butte as
the guest Of ole Rossen, superintendent
Of the Gold Butte mine
Mr.. BURNER expressed himself today
as being decidedly wen pleased with
this property and ventured the predic-
ton that Il will develop into a pro-
Queer OF a good deal Of importance.
The members OF his party spent the
good part OF a day In making an in
spectlon Of the Gold Butte ground they
went w on the surface and saw where
former Superintendent Gibbs had ex-
POSED no less than a half dozen assure

of free gold. These lodges are being
developed by means ~ croSs-cut tun-
mel. which Is now I'm over 200 feet. SUI
perintendent Rossen Is working with
two shifts and Is making good progress,
Notwithstanding that he has had some
fearfully hard rock 10 contend with.
While Mr.. Burtner and party were in
camp. a change was noticed In the
face. the rock becoming highly min
erallzed indicating that a body Of ore
Is likely TO be encountered almost any
shot although the next fissure, showing
on the surface, r. not expected for
nearly 100 feet yet. superintendent
Rossen expressed the opinion that an
other blind assure would likely be en-
countered.
Mr. BURNER says the Gold Butte COM
pany is doing some splendid work IN
the opening OF its property: everything
Is being done systematically and de-
yelopment has reached the stage where
II IL getting interesting.
Mr.. Burtner was also very fayOrably
impressed with the Gentry copper
properties and believes with develop
ment work done on them, they will
prove up very satisfactorily.
over IN the Cedar Basin section, con-
siderable development work Is In pro-
gress; Notwithstanding the torrid con-
dition Of the weather. People down
that way are expecting quite a stir
in the near future. Mr. BURNER says
the country Is a good one 10 look for

Yarn Of the sIet-Her-Riu.v

The learndest crew that I ever knew
was the crew of the Let-Her-Rip;
They all read books in secluded hooks
and wholly ignored the ship
At the boatSwain's beck on the after
deck they would sit in a seething
gale
And learnedly rant concerning Kant,
forgetting to reef sail
But the skipper, alas! was extremely
crass-at maritime Rants he SHE'D,
So they pummeled his head till he
cried I'm dead" which they pres
emily verified
And they buried him deep for his final
sleep in the waters SO green and
cool.
While the boatswain said-he was very
well read-"Sic transit blamed
old fool"
Then the cook for an hour read
Schopenhauer-a book which he al
ways kept
And the crew all cried: Give US sui
cideE-but, as nobody did they
Then, Immersed in gloom, from the
long jibboom, while a tear down
his features stole.
One sailor sunk to his death-ker!
plank Pbnk!-with yell of What is
SOU!
And the boatswain cries; "Ay, wot is it,
b'ys?" and the sailors, despairtng,
weep,
Till seventeen more, with a hopeless
roar, plunge into the ocean deep.
So the scared cook reads some pleas
anter creeds-the sailors new
courage get
And the suicide men, bobbing up again,
are rescued, extremely wet.
Now all this may do in one gale or two,
but it's bad as a steady thing:
So the Let-Her-Rip on a reef went
zip" and split with frightful
'bingw
And the crew all drowned with a look
profound, expressive Of we don't
care"
And the solemn old mate Just gurgled
'Fate!P when he ceased to encoun-
ter air.

HONESTY AND HONOR.

1t is appearing that there Is a lot Of
kindness and helpfulness in this coun-
try, and If the truth were known it
would appear that there is much more
honesty and honor in the country than
some Of the magazines and newspapers
have been saying there is One cheer
ing instance of thorough honesty and
honor has just been made public. A
young man in Iowa, after working hard
for ten years, has paid off debt of
100000 left by his father, who became
bankrupt and died as a result of his
business reversals. James G. Whitney
is the name of the man who has thus
cleared the memory and name of his
father. The estate of his father was
ruined through unfortunate invest
ments. There was no faint of corrup-
ton, no misappropriation Of funds,
nothing rejecting on anything but the
judgment of his rather. This, however,
made no difference to this loyal son,
who, taking upon his own shoulders the
business Of the private bank which his
father had managed, and assuming all
the other obligations which his father
had left in an estate which it was
thought at the time would not yield
fifty cents on the dollar, has carried
this business to such successful results
that he has been able to pay out this
vast sum of money to the creditors Of
his father,
One such fact as this shows what
there is in human nature as much as a
big crime does, and it is vastly more
encouraging.

BACK.
Golden and Other Colored Hair to Be
Worn That WAY.


Three summers ago at Newport many
of the young women when walking,
driving, playing golf or tennis wore
their hair in two braids down the back.
This fad was the subject of much dis
cussion among the older women, says
New Idea, but it was finally decided
that it was q good idea and extrmely
beneficial to the hair and that there
was no reason why a young girl in her
teens or early twenties should not wear
her hair in braid if she wanted to.
At Palm Beach, Fla, this fad was
revived last winter and many of the
women were seen going about in the
morning with their hair in braids. This
summer it seems that it will be even
more popular.
The braids are usually tied with brigh
colored ribbon to match the color of the
gown; the hair is worn over a pompa-
dour in front and tied at the top with a
bow of ribbon, SO that this girlish way
of doing the hair can be made very be-
coming.

THE SOCIALIST STIR IN FRANCE

THE SOCI4LIST STIR IN FhANCE
What will the French Socialists man
age to do at the next election in France,
which is not far distant? They are
talking much and loud. They have a
pretty well defined programme to put
forth, and are not in the least disposed
to listen to the counsels Of caution or
compromise. The present strikes give
point to their demands. 1t is frankly
Ia war against the whole capitalist
class. The Socialist contention is that
this class has imposed forfeit" upon
the wage Garner This forfeit includes
rent, taxes for the payment of the pub
lie debt, industrial and commercial
profits and interest on stocks and
bonds. Such forms of wealth must be
taken from individuals and given to the
State. "All wealth which is used for
the creation of more wealth" must be
practically confscated for the general
good.
And, Sc forth and so on. But the
votes will show. France has gone safe
" through much, and may be in no real
danger of revolution now. She is con-
spicuous for the wide distribution of
capital, as the number of farms occu-
pied by their owners shows. The peas
ant class as a whole is frugal and
saving, and is perhaps not Socialistic.
