Nothing in Ii.

How often do you make the above
remark as you look through the home
paper, and never stop TO think what
bit really means. A good solution is
given by the Carthage Democrat:
Frequently you pick up one of the
local papers, and after glancing at
the headlines YEARLY thrust it aside,
remarking: Nothing in the paper
to-day" Did you ever stop to think
what that phrase-"nothing in the
paper to-day"-means. 1t means that
during the day or week just passed
no misfortune has befallen anyone in
our county; that the grim angel OF
death has crossed no threshold OF a
friend; that no man driven by liquor,
hatred or fear has taken the life OF
fellow human; that no poor devil,
haunted by the past or misdeeds OF
some other, has crossed the divide
by his own hands; that many things
that ought not to happen havn't hap
pened. So the next time you pick up
paper that doesn't announce a trag-
edy, give a little thanks instead oil
grumbling because htere is no news.

String Pop" Makes New
~ Rarmonies a Pos

An innovation In violin playing that
lis attracting considerable attention has
been brought about through the in
genuity of Lester l.. Sargent OF Wash
ington ID. c., who has contrived a SIM
Die but distinctly useful &c. string
prop" 10 enable the violinist to play
simultaneously on three strings OF his
instrument, whereas heretofore II mas
been possible for him to play sus-
tanned chords of two notes only az
time. Thus the dominion OF the king
of instruments will be extended into
the realm of harmony as we'll as or
melody. rs
The new device itself is small wedge
.sbaned piece of bridge wood insert
ed ON the violin bridge under the U
sstring. Its dimensions while depeh-
dent to some extent on the height OF
the bridge on the used and the charac
tsr of the music to be played, are or
dinarily as follows: Thickness, 3-t4
of an inch; length, Ss of an inch; wid'
3-l6 of an inch, or slightly less. The
hypothenuse of the prop is curved &c
fit smoothly on the bridge OF th'
violin and notch for the G string Is
also made. To erect the device on tn
violin is an easy mater 1t being oniy
necessary to turn down the G string
about a tone to insert the prop under
meath and then to tune up the strln'
with care. In effect 1t becomes con

CUsHMAN FULL OF DELIGHT

E. 3. Cushman, cashier of the
State Bank and Trust company, went
out to Manhattan on horseback on
Friday night, returning on Sunday
afternoon. The ride, MI. Cushman
says, was delightful, but did not
compare in delight with the situa-
ton in Manhattan. He Is interested
in the mill which is about to be put
up on Mustang hill, and which he
says will be completed by the middle
of September.
This is the mill of the Manhattan
Ore Reduction and Refining COM
pany, of which the following are the
officers and directors: w. j. Doug
lass, president; C. l.. Richards, sec
rotary; E. B. Cushman, treasurer;
Key Pittman and Raymond Frisbie.
The engineer of the company is
]. H. G. Wolf, who. is working in con-
junction with H. L. Bosqui, the great
cyanide expert, who designed the
mill of the Montana-Tonopah com.
pany. Tests of Manhattan ores have
already been made in Denver, so

success of the plant from the start

Shares OF stock in banks having

malicious liar, says that Chief of Po-
lice Malley received a telephone mes
sage yesterday that the matter had

LIE IS NAILED
SLIGHT MIXUP AT GOLDFIELD
OCCASION FOR THE PRE-
VARICAToR'S SPLEEN.

w. w. Booth, editor and proprie-
tor of The Bonanza, was compelled
on Sunday evening to put a quietus
on a man named Gallagher at the
Columbia depot. This man was
abusive to a number of the young
sters who went over from Tonopah to
root at the ball game. The latter
was decided in favor of Tonopah by
a score of 10 to 8, and there was a
great deal of merriment over the
victory. The Tonopah crowd went
through the streets and one would
cry: How many did Tonopah
maker" The answer in chorus
would be a rapid count to ten and a
yell. Then would come the cry:
How many did Goldfield maker"
Answer, one two, three, very
slowly, and then a long groan
The boys at the depot amused
themselves and the crowds by a re-
petition of these yells, and then Gal
lagher butted in and abused the
boys, calling the vile
Here" cried Mr.. Booth, to Gal
lagher, ''cut that out"
do you want n of it, you --
- returned Gallagher.
The response of Mr.. Booth was
more emphatic and eloquent than
words. He did want some of it, and
Gallagher bit the dust, laid thereon
by Mr.. Booth. Word was sent to
Goldfeld that there was a riot ia
progress, and three deputy sheriffs
went to the train and demanded that
Mr.. Booth accompany them to the
jail house. AS the officers had nc
warrant, and as Mr.. Booth wanted
to get to Tonopah he refused tC
leave the train, standing upon hi:
rights as an American citizen. Thai
is all there was to it, except that il
the melee Mr.. Booth was bitten by
a dog. who evidently took Gal
lagher's end of it.
In the report made in the Sun las
night, Branson, branded as a liar b!
the state senate, states that Mr.
Booth made a brutal attack on al
old ma The inference to be drawn
presumably, is that If Mr.. Booth haC
struck Mr.. Branson, the crime woult
have been an attack on an imbecil
or an incompetent. Unlike Branson
it must be said for Gallagher that h
showed fight, something that Bran
son has never been guilty of doing
and the Gallagher has been in a
kinds of mixups before. Jack SAILS
berry found 1t necessary to thras
! him, so did Claude Inman, the cor

would not have done. He champion

months" Rhena Rivers, a girl of

few SHOW Such A RECORD

II there is another mine in the
West that can show such a record as
the Ludwig in the Yerington, New,
copper district has made since the
beginning of 1907 in the way Of
high grade ore shipments, it has not
been heard from.
The Ludwig. was recently taken
over by the Nevada Douglas Copper
company, and Manager Walter {.
Orem of the latter yesterday com
pleted the compilation of a list show
ing the average value in copper and
other metals OF each lot sent to mar
ket, as well as the net proceeds there
from during the period stated. The
exhibit is astonishing. Out of some
thing over seventy lots shipped from
the mine to places Of treatment, the
average is better than 20 per cent
copper, together with gold and sill
yer contents which have gone a long
ways toward paying costs of mining.
A few carloads sent out have re-
turned better than 80 per cent cop
per, while the greater bulk of the
shipments went better than 20 per
cent. The lowest grade ore shipped
raj a little under IL per cent cop
per.
Manager Orem looks upon the late
developments on the p%orphyry ridge,
or the workings along the lime ana
porphyry contact, of the Nevada
Douglas group, as being of more
than ordinary significance. The fact
is, the explorations at this particular
point are rapidly demonstrating to
the skeptics, If there ever were any.
that the ore deposits of this remark
able property are going unmistak-
ably to the deep with nothing to in.
dictate any depreciation in the value
of the ore. During the month o.
June the average of the daily assays
from the porphyry ridge was 10 pei
cent copper, while the average in the
outside shaft was around . per cen
copper. Manager Orem says these
averages we're not struck by resort
ing to the higher grade or shoots. Sc
lected assays have been taken, show
ing a result of IA and up to bette
than 80 per cent copper.
A power line is being built over t
the Ludwig shaft through which thu
necessary energy to operate sewers
machine drills will be conveyed. |
Is only a matter of a few days noy
r until electric lights will be burning
| in the Nevada Douglas camp for tn
7 first time, and the complete powe
Eequipment installed by the compan
during the past few months will be !

Mr.. Orem has expressed the opir
h ion that the Ludwig ore shoot is
S separate one from the Nevada Doul
+ las and that before connecting up tn
workings of the two mines 1t Will b

Q levels of the Ludwig and also explor

Notwithsta nding the fact that there

besides being a grand success from a

lodge a neat sum of money.
