CONCERNING BEGINNERS.

ELY's ENDURING FUTURE

president of the Nevada Northern,
SAYS:
Ely is bound to be the best camp
IN Nevada. She will he producing
copper in abundance long after the
other Nevada camps, now. operating,
are pretty much played out.
In this sentence is explained Why
the Guggenheim interests are now
spending a score of millions Of dol
lars developing Ely mines and build
ing, Ely smelters.
This money is being spent because
Of Ely's future permanence as cop
per producing camp. The mining
proposition here does not mean the
working of veins, which, after a time,
will cease to yield. On the contrary,
there is in the Ely district vast
body Of copper metal which has al
ready been explored sufficiently to
mako il absolutely certain that there
viii 70 work here for thousands OF
men for generation or more, and as
continued developments adds 10 this
known body, there is clearly Tor the
future of Ely employment for genera
tons of men.
That is why investments in this
camp have been SO alluring 10 men
of money all over the country Any
enterprise mere Will be a permanent
one With the passing OF years,
property will increase in value and in
the returns it yields.
Here permanent city will grow
up, and here will live and prosper
the children and grand children of
the men and women who are now in
the field.

One youthful aspirant to manage

was a letter to the superintendent IN

science of manipulating the cords. mus

For a certain osteopathic practitioner

that the bread pill era has not departed

a woman who was clearly a hypochon-
driac. The special disease with which
she believed herself affilcted was heart
trouble. let us say, for IL the correct dis

TO the woman concerned and mean
trouble for her and possibly fo- the osteo-
path.

The patient declared that there was

A Fox Hunt.

From the Boston Transcript
While walking IN the Arboretum last
Friday afternoon, a friend and myself
witnessed a rather unusual incident, 7 be-
lieve.
We were near the top Of Hemlock Hill.
and stopped for moment 20 watch
flock OF crows that seemed 70 be in dis
tress. flying into and eircling about g
clunD Of trees upon our right.
The cause Of their distress suddenly
appeared from out OF the trees. namely.
a fox. Mr.. Fox stood for quite a few
moments IN the open. apparently trying
TO decide which direction he should take
TO rid himself OF his termentors, for
such the crows appeared 10 be. flying very
low. near the fox, and continuing their
racket
He finally decided 10 go down the op-
posite side Of the hill, and started of at
a rapid pace. with the entire flock OF
crows in hot pursuit
We wondered Just how long the crows
would continue the hunt" and what
would be the end of Mr.. Fox.
