Every Salt I.akeT that has been in Ely

or T. j. RaddatZ and III. @. Snyder of
this city They have been two fun
months in rounding up the los acres en-
braced in the fifteen claims and they
have had to deal with no less than
eighteen persons to get the ground. They
have made arrangements with the own
ers of the TOWNSHIP company whereby the
latter viii hold surface rights only, and
III the case Of certain claims, Mr.. Rad
datz and his partner viii hold so feet
of surface privileges in the flat itself.
The deal is one that involves more than
quarter of a million dollars but Mr..
RaddatZ stated during the afternoon that
he had no doubt of being able to secure
the necessary backing TO see the deal
through. To simplify the handling Of
the proposition a corporation to be known
as the Ely Standard Copper company will
be formed. The capitalization has not
yet been decided upon, but that and 9TH
er details Will be arranged in due time.
Mr. Raddatz. who is one of the most
experienced miners in the state and who
has had the handling of many big prop
Ositions in his day, including the Hon.
crime, at Stockton. has been making a
thorough examination of all the proper
ties and he has reached the conclusion
that no proposition in the Ely camp has
greater prospective value. Two tunnels

of the flat. Near the northern limits of
the same claim a shaft is down in the

Gold Standard claim exposes the same

phides have also been opened in a churn

he is prepared 10 demonstrate to any
body that nothing can prevent the open
ing of a whaling big mine in the territory
he and Mr. Snyder have secured.

Lord Taafe. a general officer in the Austrian service, did what ha could. He always attended his guests to the door. When they put their hands into their pockets he said: No. If you do give it, give it to me, for it was l who paid for your dinner. To Sir Timothy Waldo must be given the credit of putting an end to the monstrous practice. After dinner with the Duke of Newcastle he put q crown into the cooks hand. 1t was rejected. "I do not take silver, sir" "Very good. And I do not give gold" This cou- rageous rejoinder caught on.' and the day of vals to cooks was over.-- St. James Gazette.

Salt and Fresh Water Lakes.

Fresh water lakes are always oaly expansions of rivers, due to the par ticular typographical configuration of d valley. They are all characterized by the fact that the water that they re ceive runs out either continuously or intermittently and that the chemical constitution of their water remains constantly the same as that of the streams and rivers of the same region. Salt lakes, on the other hand, are al- ways closed basins, without outlet, and their water is removed only by surface evaporation. These facts being we'll understood, we see at once why the former lakes contain fresh water and the others salt water. Water is na ture's great solvent. Hardly single substance, simple or compound, es- capes it's dissolving action. Conse- quently the water that flows over the earth's surface or in its depths con tains constantly In solution substances that finally accumulate in the great common reservoir, the ocean, whose mass, removed only by evaporation. becomes more and more charged with saline matter.-Paris Cosmos.

Four Bad Snakes.

Snakes are much maligned creatures. although they are, for the most part, of considerable value to man, as they live almost entirely on insects and the small rodents that are injurious to crops. Of all the snakes that inhabit North America there are really only four that are dangerous. These are the copperhead, the moccasin, the rat tlesnake and little snake of southern Georgia and Florida known as the coral snake. Of course there are a number of different species of the rat tier (about thirty, but they inhabit different parts of the country and are all to be known from the fact that they rattle when approached. All the rest of our snakes are absolutely harmless. and their bite is to be less feared than that of a mosquito.-Scrap Book.
