CURIOSITY HUNTING.
Some Instances Of Finds Of Much Value
In Unexpected Places.

Some years ago in Yorkshire a
man Went to a farm for days
shooting with the farmer. In the
morning as they were about to start
a pointer dog was unkenneled to
accompany them. The sporting
friend noticed that attached to the
dogs collar was apparently a brass
ring, which the farmer explained
his servant had plowed up the day
before and tied to the collar. When
the ring was removed the friend
pronounced it to be gold, and he
offered to take it into town and set
it valued. The farmer assented,
but he said he would rather have
some silver spoons than money.
These the ieweler readily agreed to
give, and he afterward sold the ring
for ego. The next time the ring
changed hands it brought $3.50, and
it is now in the British museum.
1t may be said that this is quite
an exceptional case, says writer in
Chambers Journal on curiosity
hunting, and a man might live
hundred years and never get such a
chance. But how many people ever
make the attempt?
1t is certainly easier to frequent
curiosity shops in town, but you
must know something about every
thing worth buying. 1 remember
once being in a we'll known jewel
er's shop, and while I was looking
at some old rings and trinkets my
eye caught sight of a ring which had
in it stone with lion cut on it
and above the lion a single star. I
knew it as a Roman gem, and it
was the constellation Leo. When I
asked the price the dealer hesitated,
and, looking hard at me, he asked
me if it was Roman gem. I re-
piled that was what l wanted to
know from him. He tried all ways
to get me to confess I knew about
such things, and when l presently
put down the ring and was going
out he told me he wanted 80 shil-
ings for it as it was, but if it was q
Roman gem he wanted more. I
took advantage of his offer and
bought the ring.
1t is always advisable to turn
over the loose stones you sometimes
see exposed in the window of small
jewelers. shop, generally lying in
saucer. l got in that way head
which was appearing out Of bath.
The stone was a yellow carnelian,
but just where the neck was there
was an accidental streak of brilliant
red in the stone representing blood
very faithfully. 1t proved to be a
Roman gem and is now, I believe,
in the Ashmolean museum. Antique
gems are not commonly met with
even abroad, and this way of picking
them up in England is worth try
ing when you are hunting up curl
osities.

AIsoI. the Mystery of the Skies.

Algol, "the variable star of the
constellation of Perseus," is regard
ed among astronomers as the great
est mystery of the heavens. Its
light usually remains constant and
uniform for period of from forty
eight to sixty hours. 1t then com
mences to gradually fade from view
and in less than four hours dinlin-
ishes to an insignificant point of
light. After remaining in a state
of seniobscuration for a period of
time, varying from fifteen to thirty
minutes, it again regains its former
brilliancy. Astronomers believe that
some large dead and dark world re-
wolves between us and Algol, but
this is the disputed point, a mys-
terry which will in all probability
never be satisfactorily explained.

MORBID JEALOUSY.
A Disease That, Unless It ls Killed,
Will Ruin Any Life.

When man is afraid to remark
at the breakfast table, even mildly
and casually, that. from what he
had heard. Cleopatra was beauti-
full woman it is fair to assume that
the specter Of constant jealousy
dwells in thar household. When
wife fears to look at the moon be-
cause she may be accused of admir-
ing the man in it the husband needs
to be gently reminded that he is
taking very rapid short cut to kill
ing the love he seems to hold so
sacred. Love is fed by confidence,
trust, faith and serene, restful reli-
ance. but morbid jealousy is poi
son of doubt, suspicion and injus-
tice that dulls the love it does not
deaden.
Jealousy is disease that can be
cured only by the object, not by
any one else in all the world. No
matter how gentle, kind, forbearing,
forgiving and forgetting the object
of it may be, this in itself will not
cure the attacks. The subject
whose heart is thus swayed by fierce
gales of jealousy must first awaken
to the folly of it. the injustice of it;
must be conscious of the trail of
bitterness and unhappiness it brings
to both. must realize the cruel con-
tinued assault on the tolerance,
love, loyalty and patience of the
other and when the next attack
comes seek by strength of will, by
force of character, by every weapon
in the armory Of the soul, to kill
the feeling. Jealousy must be killed
in the thought. In the mind, the
battle-ground of the soul, must the
fight of determination be waged.
In the thought must the jealousy
be neutralized by faith, conquered
by justice and transformed by trust
full love into restful, abiding conf
dence that only absolute proof and
certainty of just cause for jealousy
can ever reawaken. - William G.
Jordan in Delineator.

Wanted to Know.

An eminent novelist, remarkable
more for his vagueness than for his
brilliance, habitually dictates his
brain products to his secretary.
When the heroine, through stroke
of bad luck, had suffered the ampu-

to how long it would be before she
could be out and about. Absent

JACK LONGSTREET
STRIKES 1T rich
ASSAYS SHOW VALUES As HIGH
A. EIGHT HUNDRED
DOLLARS.

There is rumor afioat that Jack
Longstreet has made one of the
greatest strikes OF the year on his
ranch in the Monitor range.
The old timer and rancher was do
ing little prospecting work on the
ranch a few days since, and was fer
retting out the best spots for his hay,
his vegetables and the rest of his
garden truck, when he struck a piece
of rock that looked to his practiced
eye like the real quill.
He struck off number of samples
and sent them into town by an Italian
hand TO have them assayed. The
latter went out on Wednesday, car
rying with him the assay certificates.
The latter showed assays as high as
$500, and said that without a doubt
Jack would be in in a coupl eof days
to tell of his good fortune. Long
street will probably locate a few
more claims before leaving for Tono-
pah.

Harry Casey did something very
indiscreet last night. He came over

ago since he favored Tonopah with
his presence. At the time of his dis
appearance the dental parlors of DR..

were distracted therefrom gold
bridges, gold crowns, and quite a lot
OF gold amalgam. Some of the stuff
was sold, the rest of it was cached
in an old shack occupied by a man
named Whitney Gray.
Sherlock Holmes Carberry, known
to the profesh as Bud, sleuthed the
goods, and says that he has dead
case against Casey. He was expect
ing Casey, and when the latter put
in an appearance last night, Bud
whispered, Il want you," and Casey
threw up his hands. At O'Clock

RICH STRIKE TO
THE NORTHEAST
rItoSf'IS unlS HIRING ~ sIni
NENS THAT ATTY HIGn
~ sIIVER.

\ great strike has been made
cighty-fivc miles to the northeast Of
Tonopah. just where. the locators
will not say at this time They have
only three locations. but that Is
enough. according to their notions of
sufiicicncy The discoveries are Jack
Kendall and Jim Sloan. old time
prospectors. and they have brought
in samples OF the ore that they have
uncovered. and the ore looks like the
goods"
More than that the assays tell a
most interesting story. The men
have returns from two of their
claims. The ore from the Silver Dol
lar claim goes s197.24, and from the
Rainbow claim s177.14. On the lat
ter claim is huge boulder, weighing
about two tons, and Kendall and
Kendall and Sloan Clipped off a
sample of this, and the return from
that was $76.56.
Just block of ore, and nothing
more" said Mr.. Sloan; that's what
that rock is. Kendall was out there
for two years, and / have been out
there for five weeks. We struck this
find about ten days ago, and it was
funny to Jack that he had to wait
until l went there to make the dis
covery. But then he told me that
he had not yet prospected the ground
and that was easy to believe after |
had seen the ground. Nobody had
prospected it; it was virgin territory
and we only took up three claims.
At that, l think we have the best of
it, and we are going to sink right
away.
The country is the most beauti-
full that has ever been seen from the
viewpoint of the desert. 1t is an
ideal spot, with springs tumbling
down the hills, flanked by cotton
woods and pines. The scenery Is
mountainous and rugged, but there
are wonderful places Of quiet beauty
In the valley below us is lake, at
least three miles long by half mile
wide. The deepest part of it that we
found is fourteen feet.
AS soon as the place becomes
known there will be rush, without
doubt, but We are not looking fol-
money or help of any kind. There
are at least twenty tons of ore in
sight, of the character of which we
brought samples, and we will work
the claims all winter. There are
plenty of duck and deer, and we will
manage to be very comfortable dur.
ing the wet season.

stable Inman by the Reno officers
early this morning asking that Gum
be arrested and held pending the ar

his whereabouts can be ascertained.
He was seen on the streets early
last night and also attended the
smoker given by the Commercial

of the charges preferred against
Gum. About three weeks ago he left
Reno for the southern country, APP

mining property. The same evening

BISHOP OF LONDON
PRAISES AMERICA

LONDON. Oct. 31.-The Bishop of
London in his sermon Sunday at the
Church of the Holy Trinity, said
there were several lessons he had
brought back from America.
There is far greater generosity,
love and trust between different bod
les of Christians and between the
schools of thought in the same
church in America than here in Eng
land, said DR.. Ingram.
1T was like going into another
atmosphere to pass from the
wrangles of Great Britain into an at
mosphere where they are unknown.
1t was a great lesson to be present
at the general convention of the
churches in the United States; high
ly instructive to see a millionaire
from Wall street sitting side by side
with working man, both represent
ing New York It was true democ-
racy.
There are no parlor cars in the
American church.
And then, what services we had
out there! Talk of lively services
Talk of mechanical rites. Why !
have heard the rafters shake with
praise and there was no sneakine
home afterward, desolated and dis.
couraged.
