LUCKY STROKE FOR MINER.
Rock Though to Be Worthless ASSAY,
Many Dollars,

Five years ago a desert rancher
named Jim Butler was prospecting
IN southwestern Nevada, packing his
outfit along on the backs of six bur-
ros, trudging among the mountains
IoO miles from a railroad in a coun-
try which an experienced miner
would have laughed at.
1t had none of the signs Of gold
bearing rock, and in his "plumb
Ignorance" Butler plodded along
40 miles from water and one mile
from h." trusting to gold seek
ers luck, and not at all confident
OF making a strike big enough to
keep him in tobacco money.
One night he camped at Tonopah
Spring and found some rock that
looked good to him. He broke off
a few chunks, loaded them on a bur-
70 and took them home in the course
of time. In the town of Belmont,
near his ranch, his rock was greet
ed with light-hearted incredulity,
and he was about to throw it away
when a young lawyer named Oddie
pricked up his ears and with the
rashness of youth offered to have the
samples assayed.
Butler went back to his ranch in
Monitor Valley and betook himself
to the more important business of
harvesting his hay crop. He had
forgotten all about his rock when
Oddie sent him word that the stuff
assayed several hundred dollars to
The ton in gold and silver.-Outing.

GOOD V NAME.

When Commodore Rodgers, U. s.
n, was in charge of a recruiting
station, after the close of the war,
he received an application. what
is your name?" asked the commo-
dore, grufly. "Don Emilio, de San
co Razanini," was the reply, "No,
Sir" answered the commodore, "1ll
take no man in the United States
navy with a name like that. Go
away and get a better name if you
want to enlist" The next day,
bright and early, the same man re-
appeared, and in a soft foreign voice
said his name was Frederick Rodg-
ers. This time he was accepted

chairman of the street committee
with his efficient street commission
err deserves special mention.
Our fire department is much i'm
proved taking into consideration the
small amount of money appropriated
for said department. 1t should be
our effort in the next budget to place
sufficient funds to enable us to place
this department in a greater degree
of efficiency.
II wish to extend my congratula-
tons to the police department upon
the excellent work they have done
during the past year. l do not be-
lieve that their salary is sufficient for
work done. Each mar has to buy a
new uniform twice a year and the
men with families to support find
their compensation insufficient. |
therefore recommend your honorable
body to increase their salary accord
ing to your judgment.
There is a matter | wish to draw
to your attention. The Hillery Bill
has become a law. This law pro-
vides that the limit of taxation shall
be for city and county $3.50, one dol
lar for the city and fifty cents for the
county and an additional taxation of
seventeen cents for state school tax.
Our present assessed valuation if So
949, 420. In 1906 the tax rate was
S2.12, which gave us for city, county
and school s207,531, of which for
city use we had 1925, $50; for coun-
ty, $65,935; state school tax, $15,-
SAG. Now under the Hillery Act the
total tax amounts to, $166,155 on
said valuation, to be divided up as
Follows
For city, $99,494; county, $49,-
TAI; state school tax, $16,914; thus
showing a reduction of money for
city use of $26,266.
Il would advise that the assessors
valuation on properties to their true
valuation. This does not increase
the taxes above what they are at
present, but will provide sufficient
funds to meet the necessary expenses
requisite to meet the growing de-
mands of u city.
THE matter Of providing sufficient
funds to carry on the city govern
ment during the ensuing year is a
problem that your honorable body
will find great difficulty in solving, as
you are confronted with a difference
of $26,266 less than your appropria-
lions of last year. This will necessi-
tate a reduction of said sums that
must be taken from the various
amounts set aside for the different
departments.
81 would again request your hon
orable body to consider a building
code and the appointment of a build
ing inspector as there exist many
buildings in a dangerous condition
and many that are being built that
are a to human life.
"At this time | would suggest that
the citizens who desire streets paved
present their petitions to your hon.
orable body early in the spring in or
der that work of this character may
be completed before winter sets in;
SO that the said pavement7 ian be-
laid rapidly and economi{ and

in education, science. art, manufacture
and commerce, is certainly a com
mendable one, and shows that the
whole human race is being drawn clos
err together by the vast interests that
are common to all.
There is another feature Of the
jamestown Exposition from which flu.
ture expositlons may draw a lesson
and by which they may profit and that
fact is that most of the buildings are
being erected as permanent structures
not mere play houses to be used for
a day and then wiped from the face
OF the earth by the hand Of the wreck
err like "the house in the sand" thus,
save for the Indirect benefit they have
been, and the petty sum received for
them, becoming deplorable loss.
These buildings will for manys gener.
atoms stand as models of. architecture
and structures Of usefulness amid
scenes OF beauty that are literally a
joy forever, and ground which will
spring up communities and perhaps
municipalities that will add to the
beauty and wealth of the nation. Thus
It is that each succeeding exposition
not only repeats to the world the les
sons learned at previous exposltions,
but adds many new chapters and i'm

The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-12-31

Oar policeman is a Floyd lad,
He's the best police we ever had.
He takes some sugar in his hand
And then you hear him give command.
He says lay down with us and stay
Until there comes another day,
For in RtvesyIlle ! did reside,
So never fear, I'm by your side.
Some say he uses sugar fudge
To tote the fellers before the Judge,
And then the mayor will turn them
loose,
For Floyd's made a good excuse.
sebe says, "Hozla, where did you stay
I've not seen you since yesterday"
He occupied separate room
In Evansville Hotel he did presume.
And down the road we seen them stop.
sebe says RiyesYille is our next stop.
Good by, Evansville, l hope and pray
We won't see you again to-day.
1t looks to me little thin
That Floyd's badge is made Of tin,
So don't blame him if he keeps 1t hid.
For it's as big as a pot lid.
Evansville police can make excuse
TO always get the prisoners loose
If this is the way it is to ran,
! don't care much how soon its done.
