According to Ed. Kane, who has re-
Gently returned from Nevada, that
country is good place to stay away
from just at present. Kane is an ex-
perIenced miner and speaks from
knowledge of the country. He says
that you will see whole lot more of
the California people coming back
convinced that this state is far ahead
of Nevada in mining operations.
Wild eating is played out, and the
only paying properties are in the
hands of few men, and these are
employing little help. He says that
we're half the money spent in this
county prospecting, that has been
spent in Nevada, the returns would
be one hundredfold to what that
country can show.-Prospect.
Calvin Swinge, boy employed at
Walter and Nuland's butcher shop,
was the victim of a peculiar accident
last Tuesday. He was at work on
the roof of the butcher shop at the
time, along side the residence of
John Nuner, which is in the second
story of the building adjoining. Mr..
Nuner was cleaning a shot gun in his
room, when in some way the gun was
discharged. The shot went through
the inner boarding, then a four inch
air space, and again through the
outer boarding, and then a number of
shots penetrated the leg of young
Swinge. The shot were all extracted
by assistance which was quickly at
hand, and through the boy is pretty
lame no serious results are looked
for. Prospect.
At the Napoleon Copper mine near
Telegraph City, operations have
about ceased for the seson. About
5000 tons of ore have been SHIPPED this
year. to the reduction works, the ore
being hauled to Milton by traction
engines. These are not practicable
during the rainy season and probably
but little Will be done at the mine
during the winter.-Prospect.

Closes Down Work.

The Union Construction Company,
which was engaged in building the
immense power plant and line of the
Stanislaus Power Company in Toul-
umne and Calaveras counties, was
forced to cease operations on the oath
and discharge temporarily it's l40o
employees. The Stanislaus Power
Company, which had engaged to spend
$40, 00O, 900 in the erection of it's
plant, was being financed by the
Knickerbocker Trust Companyof New
York. The Trust Company suffered
heavy runs last week, and was forced
to suspend payment, although it is
claimed authoritativeIy that the com
pany is solvent. 1t is understood
that the suspension of operations in
Calaveras and Tuolumne is only tenn
porary and that the work will be re-
sumed early next spring. The Union
Construction Company had the con-
tract for erecting the plant and is
in no way connected with the Trust
Company. 1t paid off all its men in
full. 1t would have been few
months at most unfit work would
have been suspended for the winter
anyway, as the rigors of the winter
storms prevents work being done
from December till April in that
altitude.

Millionaire Bey.

Mouammer Bey, son of the richest
man III all Turkey, who will be heir
to more millions than any other person
in the Ottoman Empire, save the heir
Of the sultan, Is in Boston on business,
and before he leaves the business men
will have something like cool half
million Of his money, while he will
have tons of Boston's most improved
shoe and cotton machinery.
There is nothing about this sleek
appearing man Of 30 years, with his
rotund figure, to indicate that he is to
be at some time in the future the rich.
est man in his native land. He Is Just
as democratic as any of this country's
wealthy men, and one wouldn't have to
make a very big stretch of Imagination
to pick him out as an American.
Mouammer Bey, unlike most of his
fellow countrymen, is highly educated,
and instead Of wasting his fathers vast
wealth by rlotous living he has mas
tered the many great industries that
his father controls, and is adding to
the fortune. Those who have come in
contact with him say that he Is as
keen as the proverbial Yankee bust
ness man.-Boston Post.

At intervals Of a few years we heal
that England is scraping the bottom OF
her coal mines and that in relatively
short time her fuel supply will be ex
hausted and she will have to go out OF
| the manufacturing business. Still, En-
gland continues to mine coal in sulIl-
Client quantity for her needs. Lately
however, the prophets have been in
sistent in their auguries Of woe, and
they have asserted that this time there
can be no mistake. The exhaustion OF
the English coal supply is in sight.
Providence appears still to temper The
wind to the shorn lamb, however, for
coincident with these gloomy outgiVings
comes the statement that new coal
beds have been discovered near Dover
$5,OO0,0OO,0OO. Leading geologists say
that the discovery Is the most import
ant since the Norman conquest. Thus
England Is granted a respite. Her man
lack of fuel-not for a while, at least.
Still, the prophets Of evil continue to
prophesy. They calculate that not only
the coal supply of England but Of the
whole world must within a certain time
be exhausted and they demand to know
what will become Of humanity then.
The question Is interesting, but hardly
of contemporary Importance. The anx
ious ones concede that there will be
years to come and we may justly as
sumo that we shall not be personally
interested in occurrences that far In the
future. But even IL we expected t.,
live until all the coal and wood had
been burned we should still decline to
be alarmed at the prospect We have
great faith in the resources of the hu-
man intellect Poe said that the In
genuity of man could not devise
cipher or cryptograph which the in
genuity Of man could not solve. We
hold the same opinion with respect to
any emergency that may confront the
human race. Man rises to the neces-
sites of his existence. When the fuel
tuteS will be found for 1t. The resources
of nature are Infinite and they are at
the disposal Of men acute enough to
utilize them. The Harvesting of the
tides alone would produce enough pow
er transfOrmable into heat to supply all
humanity ten times over. That is only
one resource; there are a dozen others. |

Story hour" is new feature of IL
brary work among children which bas
had marked success at the Carnegie Lii
brary of Pittsburg. Children come to
the building at stated times and listen
to stories told by skilled narrator. In
Boston the centennial Of the birth of
Hans Christian Andersen was ceic-
brated last year by a gathering of
large and interested audience of chill
dren at the Public Library, to whom
lady told Andersen stories. 1t is an
expedient for providing wholesome en-

well be adopted by all cities and large

Once a year he sends them all letter,
mcsphere is almost like that of one

Is the concern Of all, and all help to
repair it. Other correspondents cite
that intercourse between faculty and
students Is growing more intimate in
stead Of more remote; and no one has
considered it necessary to cite-for
every one knows-the definite system
which most Of the colleges have for

If they are familiar with present col

that the relations to-day are simpler

fessor, however benefcent his int1u-

dignity, which made him unapproach-
able. His modern representative may
be regarded with less awe, but not
with less affection. One thing must be
remembered: 1t takes two to form a
friendship as well as to make a quar-

BY those who have watched the rapid
growth of the colleges and universities
fears are often expressed that personal
contact between president and students
between professors and pupils, will be
lost, If it has not been lost already and
that so the best part of a college edu-
cation win be forfeited. The definite
charge, by writer in recent number
OF the Outlook, that In one college at
least this condition has already come to
pass, brought out some interesting cor
respondence. One woman mentions a
professor who not only knew all Ibis
boys" while they were under his in
struction and helped them by personal
advice and friendly social intercourse,
but has kept In touch with every one
of them since they were graduated.
