WEST COMSTOCK DISTRICT Is
NOW LOOKING PROSPEROUS

West Comstock district, formerly
known as Jumbo, is merging into
prominence and will soon be one of
the most lively mining camps in the
state. The Selby company recently
purchased the Parker ranch and wa
ter right for $4,000, of which $1,000
was paid down, and the company has
had a townsite surveyed the eastern
boundary of which nearly abuts
against the water company's Ophir

Colburn is having the Holman-Han-

Should the Col'urn company fail
to come through the Selby stands

TONOPAH HAS YOUNGEST
LETTER CARRIER IN AMERICA

The oldest carrier in point of SER
vice in the United States is said to
be James Delaney of the New York
postoffice: He is in his eighty-third
year, and has completed fifty years
of faithful service, with snug little
fortune of $4,000 to retire on, says
frederick j. Haskin, in one of his
recent syndicate letters, on the mail
service of the world, in which he re-
lates many curious facts concerning
letters, postage and the methods H.
vogue in handling the mails in
this and other countries. When he
began in the service three-cent post
age was in effect on outgoing mail.
The government got tv', cents out of
it and the carrier one cent. The car
riers then carried their mail in knot
ted bingham ndkerchiefs.
The youngest letter-carrier in the
government service is John Duwvry
of Tonopah, New. He can neither
read nor write, and therefore was not
able to put up much of a civil exam
nation But in that town such jobs
as letter carrying go begging, and
John was the only fellow the post
master could get to fill the place.
He goes entirely by number, compar-
ing the numbers on the houses with
those the postmaster puts on the let
ters. John is going to night school
now in the effort to add to his store
of information. He is less than
twenty years old.

CORSETS ARE NOT AS BAD
AS SOMETIMES PAINTED

Medical men and physical culture
experts are busily arguing about that
important subject, 1.-THE sins of the
corset"
The general opinion now is that
the corset has in the past been the
victim of injustice and malignity, and
is in reality a blessing to woman
kind.
re British Medical Journal has in
it's current issue a great deal that is
of interest 10 say on the matter.
"A few years ago." it declares,
1.-The case against corsets was very
strong one, but the modern hockey
girl and hen analogues, the young
women of active habits, If not ath-
letic tastes, have of their own ac-
cord done much to abolish its old
time evils.
I'VE have never seen more than a
decade of this class of young women,
and as she has grown up dressmakers
and corset makers together have been
obliged to provide her with the sort
of attire which she is prepared to
wear. The old-fashioned stay was a
real. evil; it compressed the sides of
the chest, made room for itself at
the expense of the liver, and was al
together a most unhealthy contriv-
ance.
Women are improving, however,
but though they are, of course, a
certain number of foolish women,
young and old, who still make them
selves miserable, especially post
prandially, by wearing their things
too tight, the average woman, at any
rate of the well-to-do classes, is sensi-
BILE on the subject.
"All shoulder dress hanging ar
rangements pull as much forward as
backward, and thus tend, unless the
back muscles are Ike t constantly in
action, to throw the pectoral muscles
out of action and to contract the
chest by rendering full inspirations
impossible
West End corsetieres became quite
amused when asked by London rep
whether the corset was declining in
popularity.
There nay be a few faddists, -
was the g,neral answer, "who have
their clothes supported from the
shoulder. But the number is con-
siderably less than was the case a
few years ago."
ut is now generally recognized
said one authority, that the sins of
the corset are not mortal; in fact,
it is doubtful if they are even venal.
1t is as unfair to blame the corset
because some foolish woman gets
into bad health through tight lacing
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-10-05

as it would be to blame gourmand
who ruined his health through over
eating.
May Heaven preserve us from
seeing the day when women univer-
sally adopt the dress reform of aban-
doning the corset. A few young girls
may look all right without it, but
women of anything like mature years
would become shapeless masses de-
void of grace or beauty in shape.
That this would be SO is proved by
the hideous figures of the women of
those countries where corsets, and
most other articles of clothing, are
unknown.
FEWER men would become stout at
an early age if they wore belts from
childhood. Braces have great deal
to answer in bringing about round
shoulders and an ungainly SLOUGH. l
know many society men noticeable
for their fine figure who wear waist
belts in addition to braces, thus ma
terially lessening the forward pull
which is responsible for so much dis
comfort and so many bad results.
Fancy seeing an athlete running,
cycling or rowing with braces on!
All his movements would be imped-
ed; so why should braces be worn
in our ordinary pursuits? Why not
substitute belts, which are as i'm
portant for the male figure as corsets
are for the female ?"-London Chron-
-icle

The Divine Fire.

She was splendid servant, but
she didn't know anything about gas
to cook with, SO he went to the kit
chen with her to explain about the
range. So that she could see how
it was operated he lit each of the
many burners. While still explaining
message called him from the kit
chen and he left her, saying: Il
guess you will find that it will work
all right now, Martha.
He didn't see the cook again for
four or five days; then, upon entering
the kitchen he said: well, Mar
tina, how's that range doing?
ITO his utter CONSERVATION she re-
piled: Deed, sir, that's the best

you kindled for me four days ago is

Revenue From Playing Cards.

One result of the Austrian's love of
gambling is the nice little sum of
$150,00O which the ministry of finance
derived last year from the tax on
playing cards. Ten manufacturers, en-
ploying 236 hands, turned out 1878 900
packs of cards in 1906, an average of
pack for every two families in the
country These cards were of differ
ent varieties-152,0 900 Tor tarock, 1885,
900 for German games, 100000 for
Dicquet, 100000 whist, and 10000 for
other games, including the Italian
"tressetti." OF the total, $4,000
packs, about Is per cent, were glazed
so that they could be washed An i'm
