MANHATTAN IS
VERITABLE bee HIVE
xEW LEASES ARE BEING START
ED EVERY DAY IN THE
NORTHERN CAMP.

+. Fl. Howell, representing Cali
fornia parties, Is here on a trip of
general inspection of the various
camps Of southern Nevada. MI.
Howell arrived here from Manhat-
tan Yesterday, after spending a week
in the northern camp. He is very
much impressed with the camp, and
the character of work which is going
on there.
III was not my first trip in there"
said he, "but | had heard of so muCn
that had been going on since last
spring when | was there that l was
curious TO 80 again. 1t looks to me
as If they were going to get the
money, and get it quickly to. There
are any number of leases being op-
Grated, and there are, besides, a
number OF men who are trying to
get leases, some place to start dig
ging in the ground. A new lease Is
started. 1t seemed 70 me, about eyery
DAY. The leasers are very confident,
evidently, that they are going 20 get
the ore right away. for they depend
upon it to keep themselves going.
.They are taking out ore from 8
great many openings, and the ore
zone covers a wide area. The mill
on Mustang hill has not yet got in
to proper working order, but |
think win be all right in another
two weeks. They have it all covered,
and now have the windows set in
place. The Manhattan Consolidated
is the only mine at present shipping
ore to the mill, but from the appear
ance OF the dumps. there is evidently
plenty OF ore for all the mills. The
other two mills are being rapidly
completed, and the Lennon mill is
all enclosed. Manhattan is a camp
that will appeal to any one"
Mr.. Howell leaves for Blair this
orning. and from there will go to
Rhyolite, and from there to Califor-
mia.

GMEARA TALKS
ABOUT NEVADA

W. r. o'Meara came in from Los
Angeles and Nevada Monday aud
will spend the next few weeks look
ing after business matters on this
end OF the line.
Although some Of the Nevada
camps are considerably handicapped
By the decision OF the smelter mana
gers to eurtail production from the
mines IN every possible way, condi-
tons over there are quite satisfac-
tory. This is particularly true OF
%Tcnopah. where the mines and mills
are running along at full blast.
But | viii say this, continued
Mr.. o'Meara. that the day Of the
Charles NJ. Schwab method of mining
in Nevada Is over with. Desired re-
suits cannot be obtained by riding
over the country in Pullman cars
and living at the Waldorf-Astoria.
If Mr.. Sehwab had done some real
mining like the Philadelphians who
opened the Tonopah mine, he would
have come out all right in Nevada.
The fact is, that when Schwab is
mentioned as q mining operator In
Nevada, it is time to laugh. His
late howl about how he had been
treated in Nevada makes it all the
worse. Why | was told by one of
his engineers not long ago that for
every n dollar that Charles NJ.
Schwab Invested in Nevada, he took
out $500; so that isn't doing so bad
and the steel magnate hasn't any
kick coming"

Egyptian prauahts.

The ancient Egyptians played a
game somewhat like chess. It was
called draughts. The two players
sat on the ground or on chairs, and
the pieces, or men, arranged at Ell
ther end of the table, moved proba-
bly, on a checkered board, as in
modern chess. Egyptian representa-
tions of the game, always being
given in profile, do not show either
the exact appearance Of the board
or the number Of squares the same
contained. The game was very pop
ular both in the homes Of the poor
and in the mansions Of the rich.
Even Rameses is portrayed on the
walls of his palace at Thebes engag-
ed in playing the game. - Circle

Thought Il Was Sian,

Although the name of Biddle is a
well known one to many besides the
select of Philadelphia, New York.
Boston, Washington, Baltimore and
elsewhere, it seems that this magic
name conveyed only dense confu-
sion to an Englishman once visit
ing the City of Brother,v Love. as
proved by the following little story:
After a sojourn for a week in that
quiet but delightful place, where he
was 1eted and honored to his hearts

tlally: Can you tell me what thev

FEMININE SMOKERS.
Ways Of Women Who Indulge In the
Tobacco Habit.

1t is interesting to notice the dill
ferent WAYS in which cigarettes, cl-
ears and pipes are held by people.
Tho writer has travelled great deal
in different parts of the world dur
ing the past eight years and has had
very good opportunity to observe
the customs of smokers in Cuba,
the land where the ladies smoke, as
they do in the Philippines. The
Filipino and the Cuban like to
smoke. No matter how poor, he or
she always has supply of cigarettes
to smoke. As the ladies and chill
dren smoke, too, one can observe
some delicate hands supporting
cigars and cigarettes.
While the ladies do not, as a rule,
smoke pipes in the Isle de Cuba or
the islands of the southern Pacific
ocean, you can see the pipe in serv-
ice in the grasp of females now and
then.
But the ladies of Spanish origin
of Cuba are unique in the man
aging of the cigars and cigarettes.
They always act as if they thought
the gentlemen were observing the
manner in which they hold their
cigarettes. They like to assume
that they are old hands at it. They
are pleased to make good impress
sion upon the visitor.
The ladies of Cuba do not all
smoke. There are many Spanish
and Cuban ladies who would never
think of handling either the cigar,
the cigarette or the pipe. The Amer
lean and ladies of other nationali-
ties in Cuba very seldom smoke.
But there are certain classes of ma
tive born ladies who smoke a great
deal.
They are pleased to begin the
morning duties with smoking and
to finish off the afternoon with a
cigarette. Toward the final hours
of the night, before retiring, they
smoke. Some fall asleep smoking,
and the servant has to look out for
the cinders to prevent the bed
clothes taking fire. Some chew a
cigarette in their dreams. The men
Of Cuba are great smokers, as are
all people in the tropics.-United
States Tobacco Journal.

An Oriental Story.

There is an oriental story of two
brothers, Ahmed and Omar. Both
wished to perform a deed whose
memory should not fail, but which
might sound their name and praises.
Omar, with wedge and rope, lifted
an obelisk on its base, carving its
form in beautiful devices and sculp-
turing many strange inscription
on Its sides. He set it in the hot
desert to cope with its gales. All
med with deeper wisdom and truer
though sadder heart, dug a well to
cheer the sandy waste and planted
about it tall date palms to make
cool shade for the thirsty pilgrim
ana to shake down fruits for his
hunger.

Furnishing English sshsoIbey..

In English schools for boys the
punishment is inflicted for the
most part by the students By way
of example the cricket captain OF
the football captain can give SO
many cuts with the cane to a PLAYER
who has not done his duty. A well
known English authority on educa-
tional matters called attention to
the strange fact that "an heir to a
dukedom or actually duke himself
may be well thrashed at Eton by an
annoyed monitor, who is only a
schoolfellow after all, and nobody
make the slightest remonstrance." "
On the other hand, "the son Of a vii
lage cobbler cannot be given even
one stroke by the headmaster of
the village school for outrageous
conduct without also seeing enough
stir made in the village 10 incline
one to think that the Constitution
had come to an end."-American

Tn. Boy and tn. Lawyer.

In the incident related below a
boy of twelve years old conquered a
smart and shrewd lawyer fighting
for bad case.
Walter was an important witness,
and one of the lawyers, after cross
questioning him severely. said:
atsY our father has been talking TO
you and telling you how to testify,
hasn't hep"
eyes," said the boy.
"Now," said the lawyer, "just tell
me how your father told you to tes-
tify."
"Well," said the boy modestly,
"father told me that the lawyers
would try and tangle me, but if l
would just be careful and tell the
truth l could tell the same every
time"
The lawyer didn't try to tangle
up that boy any more.-Massachu-

Not Much presrsss.

Such an exchange Of courtesy as
was chronicled in q German paper
not long ago would hardly suit the
taste of brisk Americans. The e1-
change was in the form Of two ad'
vertisements.
'The gentleman who found a
purse with money in the Blumen-
strasse is requested to forward it to
the address Of the loser, as he is
recognized"
A day or two later appeared the
response, which, although so cour-
teous, had an elusive air, to say the
least:
"The recognized gentleman who
picked up purse in the Blumen-
strasse requests the loser to call at
his house at convenient day."

Continuing to speak about social
ism Mr.. Adams said it was beauti-
ful thing in theory. but the trouble
with 1t was that it would not work
in practice. 1t was just like free
trade In this respect. Any college
professor might stand up before a
meeting like this and paint = pict-
ure Of free trade that would look like
an angels dream but free trade
would not work In practice.
In his talk Mr.. Adams paid a
splendid tribute to the late Ben
jamin H. Eaton, former governor OF
Colorado, pronouncing him not alone
one of the greatest state builders OF
Colorado, but of the country, be-
cause he developed the soil and thus
made homes for hundreds.
Following Mr.. Adams speech the
committee appointed to formulate
plans for the reorganization of the
association along the lines suggested
by President Skinner Tuesday made
its report. The state will be divided
into thirteen districts as suggested
and the board of directors resulting
will decide on time and place o

of the association. This plan viii

His Stenosra s,hsr.
She was riding into the city q,
the morning train in search of 20.
sition as stenographer. HAVING
seen the large, tlorid man in tho
scat in front of her cut an adyer-
tisement from his newspaper and
put it away in his pocketbook, She
was just curious enough to look un
the corresponding place in her own
paper. Finding there an advertise.
ment for stenographer, she noted
down the address and thanked her
feminine curiosity.
She then turned back to her pen
Gil and notebook. 1t seemed as if
practice as she might, she never
could keep her speed up to 100
words a minute. She tried COPYING
from the newspaper, but the motion
of the car made the words dance
before her eyes until they hurt her.
She tried making up sentences as
she went along and failed. Finally
she resorted to taking down the in
cessant chatter of two women be-
hind her, hut their talk was often
drowned in the disturbances of a
number of young people still far
ther back, who were riotously noisy.
The young lady struggled with
TRADE on the servant girl problem,
timing herself by the distance be-
tween stations-two minutes from
Sherwood to Sherwood Corners.
Could she do 200 words? As her
hand dashed madly over the page a
large wad of newspaper flew past
her and struck the forid man in the
neck. The laughter behind subsid-
ed into dismayed giggles.
Slowly the large man turned his
injured neck. He was redder than
ever as he started to speak. The
words fell from his lips, hot but dis
tinct, swiftly but smoothly. He was
telling the boisterous young people
seven seats back just what he
thought of them.
The young woman with the pen
Gil saw her chance and took it. Here
was glorious dictation. Her pencil
flew. The speech lasted a minute
and a half and was cut short then
only by the arrival of the train at
the terminal. The stenographer
slapped her book shut with COM
Portable feeling of having done even
better than hundred words per
minute and set Off in search Of her
position.
When she arrived at the address
she had noted down, she was ushered
into private Office, where sat the
man of The speech. She stammered
little until she saw that he did not
recognize her. His mind had been
full Of bigger things. Then she
smilingly told him her errand.

She began to read her notes.
His jaw dropped. There was his
masterpiece of the train, complete
and unabridged. 1t really sounded
very well, SO full Of fire.
When she finished, he looked at
her sharply. His face was very red,
