LEE DISTRICT HAS
EXCELLENT PROSPECTS

Among the numerous rich mining
camps of Nevada. which have ~astonished
the world with their fabulous treasure
vaults, is Lee, one of the latest to bid
for fame, says the Mining Review.
This is not a new camp in any sense
of the word. as gold has been known to
exist there for at least three years.
The district or mineral belt known
locally as the Lee district, lies both in
Nye county, Nevada. and 1nyo county,
California. and comprises a territory of
from twelve to fifteen miles in length
by one to one and one-half in width,
running from the edge of Death Valley
across the Funeral Range to the Amar-
gosa desert. This belt is ~traversed by
strong quartz lodges running length
wise of same. some of which can be
traced for miles upon the surface and
which invariably contain good values in
gold with slight depth.
Owing to the mining activity in the
Bullfrog district for the past two years
the Lee district has been neglected for
its better known sister-the Bullfrog-
but since the latter has settled down to
a period of production capital is turning
its attention to newer fields to conquer.
the result being that wherever develop
ment work has started values have in
creased from practically nothing on sur
face to, in some cases, hundreds of
dollars to the on.
Within the last sixty days numerous
companies have been Incorporated for
development. Two towns have been
laid out. viz, chwab in California, and
Lee, in Nevada. The latter. on the sur
vey of the Tonopah & Tidewater rail-
road, promises to become a town of no

WHY THE CIGARETTE rs FOUL

Quite aside from any question of
the cigarettes contents or effects.
The Statesville Landmark is puzzled
to explain the villainous odor which
proceeds from it when smoked. AS
The Landmark observes. cigarettes
made from undeniably good tobacco
by the smoker himself lack little of
equaling the store kind in offensive
ness. A full whiff with the peculiar
ly disgusting quality conferred by
sojourn in the lungs is undoubtedly
quite sufficient to fell a strong dray
horse in his tracks. The habitual
smoker gives off the cigarette odor
from his person alike in waking and
sleeping hours, and his breath is at
all times likely to suggest eggs which
have long since outlived their useful
ness. Scrupulous personal cleanli-
ness in other respects can, of course,
overcome the outward evidences of
the habit to a considerable extent.
The cigarette is truly a foul thing,
and how any human being can care
for it must always remain something
of mystery. Concerning the cause
of this foulness, however, The OBJ
server is rather less at sea than The
Landmark. We can say that the
filth which accumulates in a pipe or
lodges in the butt Of cheap cigars is
with a cigarette sucked completely
into the smoker. Naturally smoke
so impregnated is foul. There can
be no doubt that the combination Of

My mind to me a kingdom is,
Such present joys therein I find,
That it excels all other bliss
That earth affords or grows by

Though much I want which most

Yet still my mind forbids TO crave.

No force to win the victory,
No willy wit to salve a sore,
No shape to feed a loving eye;
To none of these [ yield as thrall;
For why? My mind doth serve for

Another bit of history lends Iigar

t'rlaitmcnt of the distinguishod vis.
nor. u was found hat an cntcrtain-
lncnt hciitting the occasion could not
h" given for less than 81 200. and
Mr. Barr demurrcd. saying that the
Exposition had no money for such n
purpose. Mr.. Tucker then said thnt
ho would entertain tho prince without
cost to the exposition, and that he
would give luncheon and n lawn
party In his honor This was agreed
to, and there the matter slept for
thirty days ANA thirty nights.
"On the day of the luncheon Mr..
Barr asked Mr.. Tucker what provls.
ION hah been made for the cntcrtain-
mcni of Prince Wilhelm
Mr., Tucker replied that Il luncheon
and n lawn party would be given az
had been arranged II month before.
Mr.. Barr then remarked. 1 have not

Mr.. Tucker explained that none Iau

lives OF the army and navy made ND

an invitation should be sent him and
added that hc could call ont the Pow,

Mr.. Tucker replied that he did not
fear such action. and the matter was
ended until Friday. when Mr.. Tucker
