ally fought their way across the
deserts in that mad rush for gold

ed the attention of the world. The
Comstock produced more than
s650,000,000, when that fact pene-
trates into your gray matter, stop
and think where the famous mine
is located, and the answer is NE
vada.'
The one mine practically built
San Francisco and made million
aires of Flood, Mackay, Fair,
O'Brien, Sutro and a score of 9TH
ers.
Other great producing camps
were Austin, S62,OOO,OO0; Phoebe,
$80,O0O,0O0; Eureka, $44, 900, 900;
Mountain City, Si2,000,000; Tus-
carora, $48,000,0OO; Candelaria,
500, 100000; De Lamar, $20,000,-
600, and others aggregating over
500, 100000 more.
A large portion OF these ores
were silver ores, and when the
price of silver slumped, the. mines
shut down. A couple of years ago
gold was discovered, and then be-
gan the rush, the result of which
is causing:
To-day, the re-entering of Me-
vada into a reign of prosperity
that will far eclipse her former
record. Where a few years ago
was desert and solitude there re-
sounds the clang of hammer and
drill, the shrek of locomotive,
chug-chug of auto, the pulsing
throb of hoisting machinery and
the raucous noise of stamp mills.
All is feverish energy, and why?
Not for pleasure, but because a
few intrepid adventurous spirits
penetrated the desert and found
wealth untold, and now their eager
followers are brushing aside all
obstacles in their search of the
yellow, white and red metals-gold,
silver and copper.
The last two years demonstrated
to the world that Nevada was to be
counted amongst the great pro-
ducers of gold and silver-for ex-
ample the wonderful, rich produc-
ton of the Mohawk, Florence
Combination, January, Jumbo,
Velvet and other mines of Gold

pah, Montgomery Shoshone al

JOHN LAMBERT, ARTIST, DEAD
Portrait Painter Passes Away in Phil
adeIphia After Long illness.

Philadelphia, Dec. 30.-John Lambert,
the well-known artist and portrait
painter, died Monday at his country
home. "Aysgarth," in Jenliintown, a
suburb aged 46 years. He had been
i'll for long time, and late last sum-
mer was compelled to cease his labors
in Spain and Italy because Of failing
eyesight. He returned to this city and
was under treatment In a hospital,
where it was feared for a time that he
would become blind. Mr.. Lambert
studied at the Academy of Fine Arts
in this city and the Art Students
League in New York and afterward in
Paris and Naples. He first exhibited
at the Academy Of Fine Arts in 1895,
and his last work, and one which has
attracted great deal of attention, was
a portrait of Albert Chevalier, the
coster singer, in the character of Or
kins. Among his other well-known
portraits that have been exhibited was
that of Cecilia Beaux, the artist. Mr..
Lambert was member of the Players
Club of New York and of prominent
art and social organizations in this
city.

A Hoo BUYERS Views.

(ChicagO Livestock WOfld)
II believe packers have bought the
cheapest hogs they are going to get
in this CROP said a member Of the
talent. "They have already bought a
few droves under the &c line, but their
promise to put mixed stuff on 31ac
basis begins to look like bluff. You
will notice that they are buying as
few hogs as possible; If they were in
the market for their usual droves it
would be five instead of a four-cent
trade right along. Packers, of course,
are displaying good judgment by not
attempting to compete with outside
killers while the latter are clamorlng
for hogs as Justify as at present.
They figure that this competition will
die away shortly, giving them an I'M
INSTRUCTED course, and their firm be-
lief is that they will be able to fill
their cellars as cheap, if not cheaper,
then as now 1t remains to be seen
whether or not the country has the
hogs. If not, packers will find them
selves patronizing a higher market be-
fore spring. The country is now sat
isfied with &c; later it may require
more, and it is a peculiar fact that
by holding stuff back the grower Is in
a position to dictate, to some extent,
the course of prices"

first was strictly economic and was

a far-reaching effect on public opfn-

aging sign that the American publio
will not tolerate the scandalous expos
ures which began with life insurance
investigations, extended into corporate
management generally and ended with
probing our street railways. Mr..
Roosevelt very properly chiefly cons
cerned himself with the latter causes
of distrust. For this he has been quite
as unjustly criticised as would the sur
geon for cutting out cancer from his
sick patient. While the causes Of the
panic were chiefly economic, corruptive
influences were largely responsible for

there is no reason for apprehension
from this division of industry, save
what may come from curtailment Of
credit and forced liquidation.
In closing it seems to me entirely
reasonable TO indulge in more hope
full views. Possibly we may have to
face six months, or even year, of
more or less business depression. The
dangerous tendencies of a year ago
have been thoroughly arrested, and
the tendencies now at work are those
of a corrective nature, which is dis
tinctly encouraging. The disease has
been correctly diagnosed and it is now
only a question of applying the proper
remedy-contractio the patient,
having vigorous constitution and
courageous temperament, will soon re-
cover.
This is presidential year and I'M
less all signs fail, the campaign is like
ly to be a comparatively quiet affair.
The issues of the day are clearly de-
fined, being largely Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
creation, and the fight promises to be
concerning men more than principles.
1t would be d surprise If the republic
can party lost it's present control. and
Bryan is not quite as much feared
since he dropped the free silver and
government ownership.
A final word as to distrust and it's
cause. The distrust which has been SO
grave an element in the panic was
produced by two sets of influences The

women's Vanity BaIks at Deceit.

A Frenchman, just back froms China
says that the imperial edict against
opium is great blow to the thousands
who were slaves to the habit, and all
sorts of subterfuges are resorted to by
people who thin they cannot exist
without it, The law provides that peo-
pie over 60 years old are exempt from
the new regulations, and consequently
the number of patriarchs has increased
wonderfully Sturdy men of 40 and
so have declared themselves, DID, and
where nature has made the deceit too
evident, paint, cosmetics, and other ar
tificial means have been employed to
cheat the eye. The government was
not slow to discover these frauds, and
severe punishment has been inflicted
on many offenders. Strange to say,
altho women are as much addicted to
the opium habit as men, not a single
case has been discovered where a
woman hade herseyf older in order to
be allowed to use opium.
