II involves exaggerated reprisals on the
part OF the beaten combatant which end
by arming him with a stick. a knife or
a revolver.
The Sword Mans Natural Weapon.
The sword is an incomparably more
sensitive. serious. graceful, and delicate
instrument Of justice.
II is reproached with being neither
equitable nor probative. But it proves
first of all the quality of our attitude
in the face of danger, and that already
is a proof which is not without its value.
For our attitude in the face OF danger
is exactly our attitude in the face of the
reproaches and encouragements Of the
various consciences that lie hidden with
in us. OF those which are both below
and above our Ineligible conscience and
which mingle with the essential and, 50
to speak, universal elements OF our be-
ing

that 1t should become as equitable as

It's art is certainly accessible TO every
able and healthy man. 1t demands
neither abnormal muscular strength nor
exceptional agility.
The least gifted OF us need devote TO
IL no more than two or three hours of
each week.
The sword is mans pre-eminent weap-
on, that weapon which were all the others
tried and itself unknown it would have TO
be invented. because it best serves his
most various. his most purely human
faculties and because It Is direct. the
most tractabIe and the most loyal instru-
ment of his defensive intelligence,
strength and justice.
But what is most admirable is that its
decisions are not mechanical or mathe-
matically pre-established. In this it
resembles those pastimes in which
chance and knowledge are narvelously
mingled in order to question our for
tune-pastimes almost mystical and al
ways enthraIlinG IN which man delights
to sound his luck on the confines OF
his existence.

They keep up among us an idea of

If there were not quite so many good

In order to maintain the vague fear

freely in a society teeming with knaves

MINING SUMMARY OF
LINCOLN COUNTY, NEV.

S~earchlight. Nov. 19.-The Search
light district is now the scene Of mark
ed activity. as is evidenced by the many
sales. transfers. and bonds of different
properties in the camp. A new town
site is being plated at the terminus of
the Barnwell & %searchlight railway IN
the fiat" west of the original townsite.
Many of the business firms have already
secured locations for warehouses and
freight yards on this well located prop
erty and from the amount of activity
n the developing mines in the close
proximity Of the proposed depot, the
camp will have a very strong factor in
the young rival.
A sensational copper strike was made
recently thirteen miles east of Search
light by Thomas Turpin and d. S.Ma-
crea, in the vicinity of camp Thurman.
An immense vein of high grade copper
ore has been struck being Ga feet in
width and plainly traceable for a dis
lance of 1900 feet. Many samples of the
ore have been assayed and five assays
of the ore average 6 per cent in copper
with fair gold values. Twenty-six claims
have been taken out in the new district.
The management of the Searchlight
Parallel are sinking an incline shaft coo
feet west of the present shaft. Owing
to the dip of the lode it is estimated that
with the new shaft the ore can be ex-
tracted at a great saving. on the 500
foot level 90 feet of ore has been en-
countered in a crosscut that will aver
age SIC in gold. Water has been devel-
oped in quantities sufficient to run 100
stamps If necessary.
A contract has been let by the mar
agement of the Goldyke NJ. NJ. %. to
sink the present shaft to water level and
also to retimber the old workings. The
values received during the development
work have been very gratifying and
from now on work will be prosecuted
with vigor.
At a depth of $40 feet the Wyoming
~Searchlight has water and
sinking has been suspended pending
the arrival of pumps. Drifts are being
run at the 100 and 20O-foot levels to the
west.
A big vein OF high grade copper ore
has been opened up on the King Solo
mon claim of the Superior Nevada. Five
feet of ore has been uncovered that as
