of Los Angeles, who lately purchased
the mine with other claims at trus-
tee sale of the property of the for
mer owners, the Pine oFrest Gold
company. The mine has been exten-
sively worked in the past and has
shipped considerable bullion, but bad
management, it is alleged, has been
responsible for its inability to pay
substantial dividends. The mine is
well developed and a well equipped
mill stands on the ground.
O. T. Stephens arrived from Los
Angeles Tuesday and departed for
DEMO, whence he goes to take charge
of the workings. In an interview with
the Silver State News Mr.. Stephens
stated that the mine is to be worked
on an extensive scale. A gasoline en-
gine for hosting and air purposes will
arrive in few days and will be ship

=" Recently in some of the lower
workings of the mine,' stated Mr.
Stephens, nice bodies of ore have
been encountered, and it is on these
lower workings that the principal de-
velopment work will be done. -

The observatory on Mount Wilson

sun spots, with the exceeding slowness
and inevitable sureness of the mills Of
the gods, bring onward the doom Of
the whole world.
This Is apparent from the fact re-
yealel by experiments with the cleo
trio furnace that the peculiarities Of
the light emitted by sun spots are ex-
p!cable only by the lowered temper

pushed basin containing some gun

laboratory and leaving 1t q heap of
ruins. Neighbors recovered the shat
tered bodies Of the alchemist, his wife
