LETTER TO HUMBUG STAR
PIEASES ROSEBUD MAN

In the mail received from the thriv-
ing camp Of Rosebud yesterday by this
office was letter from Rosebud en-
closing a printed copy Of the Silver
States private letter to the Humbug
Star. Across the letters was written
in large letters, "HURRATtl the prop
er dope! Have drink on US, old
man." The identity of the dispatcher
of this epistle we do not know, but
evidently there must have been some
thing in the letter concerning our
contemporary that met with the ap-
proval o. the Rosebuder. To him we
say, sure; here's to you; Wen have
the drink on honest competition and on
the imperishability of truth.

BONNIrIEUD AND w. q. ADAhdSON
Return Last Evening from American
Canyon, where They Have Mining
interests

Judge M. s. Bonnifeld, r. Battels
and w. g. Adamson returned last even
ing from American canyon, where they
have extensive mining interests. Mr..
Battels had the following to say this
morning concering the mines of Amer
lean canyon:
Neither nor Judge Bonnifeld nor
Mr.. Adsmson have anything for pub
lication at this time regarding our
holdings in American canyon. We have
some very good claims, but nothing SO
far to create an excitement over.
That country is very lively and we met
prospectors going in all directions.
We spent a short time in the East
range, and that country is also full of
prospectors. The mining excitement is
intense in the southern part Of the
county"

RUBY VALLEY HAS
MINING EXCITE.
MENT

Mr.. IL. f. Lutts, who came in yester-
day from Ruby valley, reports a great
deal of excitement over some mines on
Battle Creek in that valley, recently
discovered by Stanley Wines. The
ledge, which averages about fifty feet
in width and has been traced for a
mile, is rich in copper, silver and lead.
The county for at least five miles along
the vein has been located and there
are now about twenty men on the
ground doing location work. The or
iginal find is located about one-quar-
Battle Creek on the east slohe of the
Ruby range near the center of the val
ley, and about one mile west Of the
road and two miles from the ranches
of Z. s. Gedney and J. w. Smith
The assays run from 40 to 90 per
cent copper. The original mine has
been bonded to the Utah Development
company for 10000. This company
expects to build boarding house as
soon as the lumber can be placed on
the ground and will then put about
100 men to work on the mine.
A surveyor is now on the ground TAX
ing measurements and observations of
the various streams with view to put
ing in a water power to operate the
property and pronounces it one of the
most promising showings he has seen
in years.-Elko Free Press.

RED Canyons LIVELY

YERINGTON, New, May 21.The
Red Canyon mining district, which
years ago was one of the richest in
this portion of the State, again the
scene of great activity and many
promising claims are being opened up.
The hills in this district are swarm
ing with prospectors and claims arc
being located on all sdes. The ore
being uncovered is mostly copper, but
in some places high values in gold
have been found. One strike made on
Mount Siegel is said to have run more
than $4,000 in gold.

Sc, OO0, 900 TO BUILD 321
MILES OF w. p. ROADWAY

The original contract for the build
mig the Western Pacific roadbed from
Deeth to the Neva State line calls for
a sum approximately $6,0o0,000. When
it is considered that this section of the
road is only a fraction of the work,
and there are no heavy grades to make
r tunnels to run, it can be seen the
gigantic expenditure of money in
volved in the building of tranccon-
tinental line.

MAKES A
TRIAL RUN
GLASGOW WESTERN co. PUT
THROUGH 70 TONS OF ORE
Remarkable Success Of Initial Showing
Of Glasgow Western Company's
Smelter at Golconda

A trial run of 70 tons of copper ore
was made at the smelter of the Glas-
Cow and Western company at Golconda
yesterday. This was in the nature Of
tryout of the capability of the new
smelter, and while it is yet too early
to obtain an authentic opinion on the
merit of the new instittion for the ex-
traction of copper, the management at
Golconda are highly pleased with the
showing made yesterday.
The success of the smelter of the
Glasgow Western company will mean
much to the mining industry of Hum
boldt canyon. If there are immense
bodies of ore anywhere in the state,
they certainly lie in Humboldt county.
There are few camps in the county
but what show copper in more or less
abundance. A highly mineralized b 1t
extends the entire length of the west
ern side of the county, from Jackson
Mountain through Dyke and Puebla.
On the east another belt extends from
the east range, through Sonoma can
yon, past the Harmony Hills, taking
in the Glasgow and Western ground
and the property now owneo by c. A.
Van Zandt, east of Willow Point
station.
When the Glasgow Western company
begin shipping copper, the product of
their smelter, it will mean that many
other smelters will be erected, and it is
the smelling business with the min
ing business that makes country
prosperous.

The coal famine situation in North
Dakota has become so serious that
Senator Hansbrough will confer with
President Roosevelt to see If federal
means cannot be found to relieve the
situation.
kilograms appealing for relief were
also laid before the interstate COM
merce commission by Senator Hans
brough. Some of these dispatches de-
clare that the statement issued by the
Great Northern railroad that the block
ade had been lifted on that line is
not true.
1t is said also that large supply
of coal destined for North Dakota is
being held at a junction point in Min
nesota pending settlement of demur-
rage charges on the cars. This charge
is being investigated by the interstate
commerce commission.
A dispatch from Calvin said that
place was almost out of coal and no
relief was in sight. Out of Is cars con-
signed to that town since December l.,
only four have been received.
A Hastings dispatch said there was
no fuel or -four on hand and that the

CURE FOR. STAGE FRIGHT.
French Scientist Comes to the Rescue
of Actors and Singers.

Man.. young artists and students
who suffer from stage fright will be
glad to know that cure has been
found. The Paris correspondent Of the
Lancet writes:
At the recent meeting of the Hypno-
logical and Psychological society Paul
Farez described three cases of stage
fright (trac) successfully treated by
suggestion. Two of the patients took
part in the last competition at the con-
servatoire. In all the numerous
cases of stage fright in which he has
obtained a good result the symptom
of fear has been associated with some
bodily failing, such as respiratory
spasms, cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac
irrtability, bradycardia, arterial hy-
pertension or peripeheral vaso-con-
striction. These conditions had an
important bearing on stage fright;
they maintained, aggravated and pro-
longed 1t; and they were, moreover,
an obstacle to the full and prompt

down rivers on steamboats,. Barring
the railroad, the favorite means of
transportation in England and in con.
tiuental Europe is the wagon. There
are many wagon shows in this coun-
try but they would find it difficult to
reach all the towns that are easily
reached by the floating palaces. Many
of the towns that get all their dramat-
ic sustenance from these floating play
houses have no railroad connections
whatever. If it were not for the
shows that float down or up to them
by boat, they would have to go with
out their theatrical fare.
Mark Twain, who knows the big
river about as well as anybody, used
to be well acquainted with the old
time managers of few of the floating
palaces He introduced one of them
into "Huckleberry Finn" But time
changes and men change with them,
and the floating palace of to-day is
much more elabeyate and much finer
than were the f3F Fting palaces of the
older time.
They play to thousands of persons
each season and they give pretty
good shows. Their managers, who
live in Cincinnati and St Louis, make
good profits on the investment.

each with beaten yolk Of egg and
spread the top with minced chicken
or veal; sprinkle lightly with salt and

while our exports have amounted to
