days. Meanwhile there is the widest
excitement among the relatives and

BOSTON, April 27-Attorney General

Praise of the accomplishments of the

of Mr.. Bonaparte's address.
He praised President Roosevelt's at

abilities and public service only his
tory will do full Justice, although I
hope and believe that they are appre-

countrymen."

mischievious principles, whose motto

be noted that Greeley was personally

"As it was beaten even worse when
it tried sanity and safety 1t Is appar-

Mr.. Bonaparte said the people be-
lieve with President Roosevelt that the
nation can and should regulate it's pro-
ductive wealth without destroying this
wealth or making it unproductive; they
believe this can be done and that he is
the man to do it, and If his task is un-
finished they will demand a man for
his place who will finish the work.

Value of the Thumb.

Solomon says thumbs up," because the thumb is said to be worth fully one-third the entire value of the hand The different fingers are far from having all the same value before the eyes of the law. Much of the i'm portance among them is the thumb, for without it the hand no longer Is a pincers but merely claw. The French court allows in damages 15 to 35 per cent. value for the right and ten to 15 per cent for the left thumb. The Austrian schedule gives from 15 per cent. for the left to 35 per cent. for the right. In Germany 20 to 2S per cent, and even as high as 33.3 per cent, has been awarded. The per centage is based on 100 as the total value of the hand, industriously speaking, before the accident.

Fine Health in Open Air.

The healthiest persons in the world are gypsies, and they live in the open air, but there is an erroneous idea that gypsies are people who defy the elements to destroy their health. On the contrary, they are very careful. indeed, of their health, even though living out of doors. They never go to bed with the draft blowing over them, but have free circulation around them. yet protected from rain and wind. While sometimes seemingly scantily attired. they always are warmly clothed beneath, wearing warm underelothing. The consump- tives who go to places for their health are now living exactly as the gypsies, and because of the disease being considered contagious, they must live in tents. It is here that the efficacy of pure air is being fully dem- onstrated, for 1t often effects cure if the patient is not too weak when the treatment begins.

No one has been more prominently

were among the first halfdozeu TO rush
into this region IN the early days. Both
are heavily interested in the lnyo Gold

Mr.. Leavitt stated to The Tribune
that the 1nyo property was the banner

is busy with three shafts, down 100, i3
and 30 feet, respectively, and these
will be driven TO great depths for the
purpose of securing the most minute

average value of Si4 per ton; another
26 feet wide, averaging S25 per ton in
gold, while as high as 500 per ton has
been secured from the ore. Mr. Lea
Witt states that the property is a free
milling proposition, and one that has
few equals in tho desert country.
In The Echo district also are the
Schwab properties, which adioin the

the Swan Hill Gold Mining company.
in the latter the management has driven
for so feet upon their eight.foot ledge,
and the average values are $50 gold

Both Of these are looked to by Mr.. Lea
Witt to bring returns of generous pro-
portions. Two booming towns are with
in shouting distance of the Echo dis
trict, ono being called Schwab, the
other Lee. Both are building up fast.
Mr. Gronin is one Of the most inter

over 100000 deposits; tins money was
stored away IN the suitcase, with sew

on the watch. That suitcase long ago
