The Senate passed the local option

only needs the signature Of Governor
Buchtel, said by omcials Of the anti
saloon league to be readily forthcom-

"It Is not all We asked for, but we

Laughlin as the bill was passed.
Representatives of the brewsries
and the whisky interests make the
same comment.
The bill provides for means OF clos

county.
1t requires q petition signed by forty

The bill. as passed. strikes out the
original provision inserted by the SEN

The bill was strengthened in the

Representative Vincent forced this

Why Farmers Grow Old Early.

Anyone who has lived on a farm
does not need to be told the reason,
for he knows of the strain under
which the American farmer lives dur
ing the five months Of spring and
summer, says Woody Hutchinson, M.
D.. in Harper's Monthly. His work
day is from four or five in the morning
until eight or nine at night, including
chores-15 to II hours of the hardest
kind of physical labor, and every min
ute Of 1t at high tension, especially
during harvest. Then comes a period
Of relaxation in the fall, the one time
In the year when he has just enough
muscular exercise to keep him in
health. Later, the winter season, ap-
preaching stagnation, in which he
takes on flesh. gets "logy," and then a
furious debauch Of hard labor through
the spring and summer again. No
wonder that by As he has had sun
stroke and cant stand the heat" or
has "a weak back, or his heart gives
out" or a chill makes him rheuma-
tic;" and when you add to this furious
muscular strain the fact that the far
mer sees his income put in peril every
season, and his very home every bad
year, so that each unfcyorable change
in the weather sets his nerves on
edge. it can be readily imagined that
the real quiet, peaceful country life"
IL something sadly different from the
ideal.

Blanchard and Donaghue, operating
on the Mountain Beauty properly, on
Bull hill, have opened up a good look
ing body of ore at depth OF 100 rect.
1t was while working an old vein that
a new shoot two feet wide was en-
,countered The vein all the way
across gives returns OF better than TWO
ounces In gold to the ton. ana carries
a oneiEck streak that shows values
as high as $210 to the ton. This Is
the second strike made by these les
sees, as about two months ago tney
opened up three-foot ore body, which
is giving returns Of $50 to the ton. Inc
Mountain Beauty company, which Is
operatiny below the 6OO-foot level, has
some high grade ore in sight, and has
for the past two months been making
regular shipments of mineral carrying
good values.
1t is reported that Edward Doyle
and associates, opening on the Gil
max claim OF the Londonderry COM
pany, on Bull hill, have made strike
at a shallow depth. Several days ago
these lessees opened up an ore body
Of low grade. which gave returns or
from IS to $12 in gold to the ton. 1t s
said that these lessees have encoun-
tered a vein one and one-half feet
wide which carries five-ounce values
The lessees are shipping their low
grade to a cyanide mill for treatment.
Olsen brothers, working on the MO
hican property, on Battle mountain.
continue to ship ore giving returns OF
from $40 to $50 per ton. The lessees
are operating through the Ajax smart

installing 10x14 hoist is progressing
rapidly, and the machinery will be In
operation within few days.
On an average OF $500 tons OF ore
are being sent out each month from

splendid strike on the Chase.

The Chase mine at Central City 10
mostly or Grated by lessees. but for the
past few weeks the company has been
working men in the 1.000-foot level,
and Monday they broke into a fine
body of ore that promises to pay all
the expenses incurred In that direction.
Samples were; taken from the streak
uncovered, and the tests gave ten
ounces gold to the ton. A quantity OF
this is being saved and will soon be
shipped for treatment. In the 300-foot
level lessees are taking out ore that
is payin, them handsome dividends.
Last week shipment was made con-
tanning values of fifteen ounces to the
ton for the first-class ore, and a little
over two ounces for the second. A
large run was also made from the 200
foot level last week that gave returns
of over six ounces to the ton. The
lessees IN the 450-foot level are receiv-
ing about four and half ounces IN
the ton from their ore. There are very
few mines that can boast of such .
record and keep 1t up constantly. This
mine has been producing good ore for
some tima past. Another good feature
OF the mine is that since the Saratoga
has been drained of water there Is not
much to be found in the Chase. For.
merly 1t was necessary to run two
shifts, one of which was kept busy
constantly hoisting water The night
shift has now been dispensed with.
There used to be ninety-five barrels
hoisted every twenty-four hours. which
amounted to $4,000 gallons. This has
been reduced to about twenty barrels,
or about 1000 gallons every twenty
four hours. There is a great saving IN
this alone. The Saratoga, which 10
drained by the Newhouse tunnel, in
turn drains all the mines around it. of
which the Chase is one.
