A tollgate keeper at Wytham, near
Oxford, England, has some strange
pets which he exhibits. He places a
piece of bread on the toe of his boot
and whistles in a peculiar way. In
stantly a dozen or more wild rats
emerge from the bushes. eat the
bread and at another whistle go back
to their holes. The man places a
piece of bread on his shoulder,
whistles again, and this time numer-
Gus sparrows and finches appear. The
gatekeeper says that the obedience of
his feathered and furry pets is solely
due to patience and kindness.

GOOD NATURED AGAIN.
Good Humor Returns with Change to
Proper Food.

"For many years was a constant
sufferer from indigestion and nervous
ness amounting almost to prostration, -
writes Montana man.

vision was blurred and weak, with
moving spots before my eyes. This
was steady daily condition. grew

Nothing I ate agreed with me, till
one day l happened to notice Grape
Nuts in grocery store and bought
package, cut of curiosity to know
what it was.
It liked the food from the very first,
eating it with cream, and now buy
it by the case and use it daily. I
soon found that Grape-Nuts food was
supplying brain and nerve force as
nothing in the drug line ever had done
or could do.
1T wasn't long before I was re-
stored to health, comfort and happi-
ness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts
food my digestion had been restored,
my nerves are steady once more, my
eyesight is good again, my mental fac
ulties are clear and acute, and I have
become 50 good-natured that my
friends are truly astonished at the
change. I feel younger and better
than I have for 20 years. No amount
of money w..u1d induce me to surren-
der what I have gained through the
use of Grape-Nuts food" Name given

Another Gentle Reminder.

Again was our town visited by fire
last week and had q wind been blow
ing at the time there would have been
no chance OF saving the N. c. shops
from total destruction. In years past
much property has been burned to
the ground and when there is a fire
OF any proportion and it gets a good
start, all our people can do is to stand
by and watch the property go up in
smoke, since we have nothing in the
way of fighting fire. Up to this time
Notwithstanding the urgent appeals
that have been made from time to
time for the people to get together
and devise means for fighting fire,
nothing has ever been done. This is
a matter that should not be left to go
unnoticed and il there was anything
to be done in this line it should be at
tended to without further delay. We
are getting tired of bringing this mat
ter before the people for there seems
to be no interest taken in this import
ant matter and probably will be none
until such tins when some part of
town will suffer q severe confiagration
and then, OF course, it will be too late.
Our citizens should wake up and take
the matter in hand without delay.

Death Of q Good Citizen.

Frank Curieux died in the German
hospital 10 San Francisco last Saturday.
Deceased was well-known in Battle
Mountain and his numerous friends will
be panied to hear OF his death. For
some years past he had been engaged
in the mercantile business pursuits at
Beowawe and it was only a short time
ago that he disposed of his business and
left for California in hopes that a change
would benefit him.
His remains were brought to Reno for
interment and the funeral took place
yesterday afternoon.
He was a native Of Nevada and aged
about 40 years. He leaves a wife and
two children. a mother and three sisters
to mourn his loss His only brother
| Mortimer died about four months ago.
He left an estate valued at several
thousand dollars.
Mr.. Curieux was q man much beloved
and highly esteemed by all who knew
him and he is one the commonwealth
can lily afford to lose. There are few
men who possess the many virtues Frank
Curienx possessed as husband, father,
son, brother, friend, citizen in any OF the
many roles he carried out. Many a
strong man will count it no weakness to
weep at his loss.
May his last long sleep be calm and
peaceful.

LANDER, New, Apr. l, '01

LANDER, New, Apr. /, '07.
Several important transfers Of min
ing property have occurred in the
Bullion district during the past week,
and a renewal of activity is every
where apparent. The most import
ant deal was the sale of the old Lovey
property to Manion q Flynn, of
Derdwood. Since the purchase, Mr..
Manion has made an exhaustive ex-
animation of the mine, and has care
fully sampled the numerous old work
ings, and announces, as the result OF
his sampling, that he will commence
shipments from three or four different
places on the property within the
next sixty days. He is laying out AN
extensive and systematic plan OF
development.
Braden & White, OF Goldfeld, and
Charles Scheile. OF Colorado Springs,
have just completed the purchase for
the sum OF $4,000 of the Caledonia
group of six claims, lying between the
Moose and Phoenix properties The
ground has an excellent surface show
ing, and is directly in line OF the ex-
tension to the east of the great vein
recently opened up in the "Trout'
lease on the Phoenix.
Mtssrs. Vetter & Nolan, of Reno,
have also acquired some good prop
erty in the anne neighborhood. Last
week they bought OF H. II. Hale and
others OF Reno, the st. Lawrence and
Anaconda lodes, adjoining the Gold
Quartz company's Phoenix claim on
the east, and directly on the strike Of
the Phoenix vein. The consideration
was $4,000.
Charles s. Ondcrdonk, of Denver,
spent the past week in the district,
and succeeded in getting several good
properties. He bought of W. S.
Montgomery the "Big Bug" group OF
ten claims lying about two miles
north of Lander, and adjoining the
Raven-Bullion company's ground, and
also the Minnie NJ. group, near the
Black Rock property. Mr.. Onder-
donk also took short options on the
Kendrick and Denmark lodes IN the
south end OF the district.
The sale of the Copenhagen and
Delmas lodes to j. j. Cusick, of Salt
Lake, has been consumated. Mr..
| Cusick has taken possession and is
busy making out leases on the prop
erty.
The leasing system has become a
craze in the district. The phenomi-
nal success Of Riggs, Trout, Haas and
May Others has stimulated others to
try their luck, and il is estimated
that there are now about thirty sets
of lessees at work in different parts oI
the camp. SO many are leasing that
operators have considerable difficulty
in getting men to work for wages.
