a Famous Saying.

You have probably heard or read the
famous saying: Il had rather be the
first man in village than the second
man in Rome.r and have wondered.
perhaps. who first used it Plutarch at.
tributes it to julius Caesar. The story
is, as he tells it, that when Caesar
came to little town in passing the
Alps. one OF his friends said, In
iocular way: Can there be here any
disputes for Offices. and contentious
for precedence, or such envy and am
bition as we see among the great?"
To which Caesar answered, very Sc
riously: Il assure you that l had rath-
er be the first man here than the sec
ond man In Rome"

MAGGIE WAS AN oPTIMIsT.
She Would Persist in Looking on the
Bright Side of Things.


Maggies mind is so organized that
recognizing trouble is, for her, next
to impossible. Indeed, Mr.. Carter
maintains that If ever a cloud does
contrive to catch Maggie's attention,
it straightway turns itself inside out,
the result being that it exists for Mag
gle as silver lining" only.
Maggie's sunniness was distinctly
grateful feature of the domestic at
mosphere-following two sour-visaged,
grumpy parlor maids. Indeed, It was
this quality that repeatedly saved her
from discharge, for neat, smiling, in
dustrious little Maggie, alas, would
break things!
When her ravages-for it amounted
to that-included a rare and valuable
vase, Mrs. Carter felt that the time
had come when, in desperate defense
of the bric-a-brac, as well as for Mag
gie's future good, she must adopt
severe measures.

l.. P. Woodbury, well-known min ing operator who arrived few days ago from Chicago, returned today from Alleghaney, Sierra county, where he has acquired 15O acres of land on the extension of the famous Tightner mine. When he got off the stage he had a suit case half-tilled with speci- mems of high grade ore that created a great sensation as he opened them up in the office of the National Hotel. One piece of crystalized gold quartz about the size of his fist contained sev- enteen and a half ounces of the yellow metal, worth little over 3O0S. He had various other pieces almost as rich, besides a number of large masses of arsenical pyri,es of high grade. q believe that is the richest gold dis trict in the vest" said Mr. Woodbury
 "While was there I saw over 65,000$ worth of free gold taken from 1900 pounds of quartz that came from the rightner mine. It had to be pounded up in a mortar, and the concentrates were not counted, although they were very rich. It beats anything I ever heard or read of before, because it is not an uncommon thing to find such deposits in the mines of that district. Nevada City Miner-Transcript.

Col. Thomas Ewing, general man. ager of the Victor Gold mining con-

Richards is president of the American Mining Congress and is deeply interested in mining in sev- eral of the states and territories. He IS president of the Victor Gold Mining company and is here to make an ex- animation of the property and the progress of the big milling and power plants. He expressed himself as well pleased with the splendid showing of the mines and believes that when the plants are in operation the company will be able to make a big yearly out put of bullion. Col. Ewing is doing all that he can to get the power plant and mill in commission within the next sixty days. Gov.

 J. l.. Witney, who was taken very i'll at the old McCracken mine, was brought up from Signal last Saturday by R. P. Wheeler and placed in the care of d physician. He recovered rapidly and departed to the mines Wednesday evening last. Mir. Wit ney is experimenting the exploratory work at the McCracken mine for the Western Development company, which is said to be composed of the Armours, Pullman and others. Seventeen men are at work samplng the property, cleaning out old drifts, winzes and shafts and running out the lines of the claims. Several thousand dollars will be spent in this work, which will take about two months to complete. Should the mines be taken over by the com. pany a railroad will be built in from the Santa Fe and big reduction plants will be put in to handle the ores. The old McCracken mines and sur. rounding properties would make one of the greatest mining groups in the territory, capable of furnishing an i'm. mense shelter with ore for years tc come. MT. Wheeler is operating mines close to the McCracken and would be materially benefited by a deal on the old mines.
