when closed, is air and water-tight

he is much married man. He has a
score or two of official wives, and no.
body knows just how many hundreds
of what might be termed courtesy
wives, though in Solomon's time they
were known by another name.
How far contact with western civ
ilization has modified Chulalongkorn'
religious views nobody knows, but
nominally, at least, he adheres to the
state religion, which is a decadent
form of Buddhism on which many su-
perstitions have been grated. The

1t is the Siamese custom to scare de-
mons by demons, somewhat on the
principle of setting a thief to catch a

erection of two of these monstrosities

Perhaps the Danes selected the
raven for their standard out of feel

COIN LEGENDS

The present movement at Washington for new designs for United
States coins has awakened interesting "reminiscences concerning the ori-
gin and development of the present designs.
One of the most interesting anecdotes of the series is produced by
the Chicago News, which paper informs its readers of the birth of that
impressive legend. I'm God We rust" which appears on some of the
eons Of the United States. The News says that the use of these words
was suggested by a letter written BY a Maryland farmer to Salmon I.
Chase. Secretary of the Treasury. The document is dated in November,
1861 The writer "a evidently impressed by the gloom which overhung
the nation and felt that the time had come to put God on the coins
even if He was denied a place in the constitution. The Secretary passed
the letter to the director Of the mint, giving to that official his choice
of the legends, our Country, Our Cod" or God Our Trust The sub
iect was RENTED to Congress in that year and in the two succeeding
years, but no action could be secured until n the 2d of April. 1864,
the Congress of the United States directed the coinage of a bronze piece
of the value OF 2 cents to bear the now immortal legen. I'm God We
Trust" instead of "E Pluribus Unum." BY an order dated March 5.
1865, under the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. the director
OF the mint ordered the same legend on ali gold and silver coins which
were susceptible of carrying the words
A most interesting addition to the anecdotes is in the fact that the
words themselves come from "The Star Spangled Banner" reading" And
this be our motto, In God Is Our Trust"

new DISTRICT
OF COPPERFIELD

f. Saville Smith returned Monday
evening from the new town of Cop
perfield. which is located near the
siding of Acme on the Southern Pa
cifc road. about seven miles east of
Nina. Mr.. Smith said: We have
decided to call the new townsite Cop
perfield instead of Anaconda. as was
our intention at first. The town will
be located near the Acme tanks
which supply water to the railroad
company. The surveyors are now at
work surveying the new townsite as
well as other properties owned by
the company. Ae petition which con-
tanned 200 signatures has been sent
to the Postmaster General asking for
the establishment of a p%ostofice.
From fifteen to twenty prospectors
arrive every day. but on account of
poor accommodations they are forced
to Nina to get the necessaries OF life.
About fifteen tents now adorn the
new townsite. Among those inter-
ested in the new enterprise are r. 8.
Perciyal of Tonopah, Otto Taubert Of
Denver and the Bowman-Smith Co.
of Tonopah. They have twenty claims
in close proximity of the large strike.
The contact has been traced for five
miles and is OF granite and lime
stone. The original locators are at
present preparing a shipment of cop
per ore that assays As per cent on
the surface. The groupings in places
assay as high as so per cent. 1t is
the belief of those that have beel
on the ground that most of the new
locations will pay from the grass
roots.

conservative estimate, a half million
dollars of ore blocked out.
The mill has been installed and
housed and everything put in readi-
ness to commence treating the ores
now on the dump and in the bins.
with the exception OF the regrinder
or tube mill. and the pipe for the
water. The regrinder, Mr.. Davis in
forms us. is now at Tonopah and is
being held there awaiting the arrival
of the pipe which has been side
tracked at Nina for over two weeks.
AS soon as this arrives at Tonopah,
teams have been engaged to bring
the entire shipment, together
with the tube mill.
Ii is estimated that the stamps
will be dropping some time before
May l. and from that time on will be
going night and day with the appar-
emit necessity already before them of
soon doubling the present cotton ca
paeity of the mill.
James Mcdonald. the genial sup
erintendent. has under way. arrange
ments to treat the surface dirt on the
three claims and fraction owned by
the company. The area that ii will
pay to work is the full width of the
three claims and fraction, or about
1900 feet and about half way up the
hill. or about $50 feet north and
south. Figuring on the basis OF
Thomas Wilson's lease, one corner
of n claim, 400 feet square. which
produced $4,000 in sixty-seven days
work, there should be on top of the
ground of this famous and fabulous
ly rich property another half millior
dollars. This, with the half millior
underground already blocked out anC
ready to stope. about puts the stocl
at par. But that is not all. During
the next two weeks the ledge will BIZ

LITTLE FLORENCE
A RICH PRODUCER
Finy-four Inches of $1,000 Ore Is
Opened Up

Fiffy-four Inches of $4,000 Ore Is
Opened Up
Assays returned on Saturday from
the property of the Little Florence
Mining company on Florence ground.
returned from $2.204 to s2,33s.4O|
per ton in gold.
These were taken from across the
entire breast Of the drift. -four and
one-half feet in width. The ore is
quartz with coarse free gold abound
ing all over and through it. The ore
also carries sulphides and telluride.
In the opinion Of some of the big
gest mining engineers of the district
who have visited the property during
the past two days, this lease will
prove to be far richer than the fa-
nous Hayes Monnette on the Mo
hawk. They declare that no prettier
ore was ever uncovered in the Gold
field district. In the opinion of Mr..
Oliver, expert for D. Mackenzie &
Co, who visited the lease Saturday.
the ore is "demoralizing," to use
his own expression.
The first assay from the Little
Florence was but $27. Since then,
day by day, the values have mounted
higher and higher. until mining men
now wonder when the limit will be
reached. The lease also has a ledge
fifteen feet in breadth, giving from
$40 to $50 all through. The lease
is one of the busiest spots in this sec
ton. Men are sacking ore and $50
sacks have been filled already. Ore
sorters are working on the dump,
which has four carloads ready for
sorting. The ore house is nearly com-
pleted and shipments will commence
within a week at the latest. All eyes
are directed toward the lease because
the high grade strike opens up the
country south and east of the Flor
ence main shaft. Directly in line to
get the same vein. are the Rogers
and Gatzen leases.
DR.. Robinson has samples of the
ore which are fairly alive with free
gold. The mineral was encountered
on the south drift. Men are also en-
ployed drifting to the north where
another strike is almost certain. The
entire ground seems to be impreg-
mated with the precious metal
