Manhattan. New. Nov. is.-A trip
through the Manhattan mining district
at the present time Is attended with
many reminders of the feverish activity
which prevailed in the early days. 1t
IL doubtful II at any intermediate time
mining activity was more pronounced.
1t In certain hat at no period IN the
camps history was development at
tended with greater success in the ind
ing Of pay values.
Mines and mills are both doing their
part in swelling the golden stream
which 1ows from the Neveda desert
into the main channel Of trade. From

ing. Stray Dog. Union No. .. and Wolf
tone average grade shipping and high
grade milling ores are being mined and
either sent to stamp or held at property
until such time as the mill people are
prepared to treat them. In the Litiga-
ton hill section the leases are mining
better than an average grade of mill
rock and are piling up tonnage with
rapidity. 1t Is unfortunate that con-
tracts entered into some months ago by
the larger mining companies and the
various mill arrangements prevents the
reduction of lessee ore until late in the
approaching winter.
Encouraged by the establishing OF a
local market for their ores mining COM
panies in all portions of the camp are
getting busy in earnest and are either
now engaged In development at depth or
are outlining plans for a cam
paign Of that character. With the mills
turning out a golden grist everybody
here is optimistic and fairly content
with the way Manhattan mining affairs
are shaping up.

Reilly and associates leasing on the
Gold King estate have a promising ore
body opened up at nominal depth and
from present Indications there Is every
reason to predict that pay grade In

further effort. The men are saving a
little ore rs development proceeds but
thus far the tonnage is very small No
work IL being done or company account
at present but 1t is the intention to re-
sumo operations within a month. As In
the past the scene Of the more persist

claim, adjoining the Dexter No. 4, the
Yellow Horse and the Annie Laurie.
Each of the three properties last mem
toned is in the money and is considered
the very best of preferred prospects.

Each Eat Dog Meat,x ,RRt For
/ Different Reasons.

North American indians eat dogs
because they love them SO; also be-
cause they are convenient, and, more
over, according to Harper;S Weekly,
an eaten dog never bites. But in Ger
many the people eat dogs because beef,
mutton and poultry are very scarce
and high. II
:, This would hardly appear a just ex-
cuse in this country for as.wholesale
consumption Of CANNES, but the mass
eS> Or the American population are
more finicky about their food than the
similar class Of any other nation.
During the year 1905 there were
slaughtered for food in the kingdom
Of .Saxony (Which constitutes one thir-
ty-sixth of the area and contains about
one-thirteenth of the population of the
'empire) 1922 horses and 3,736 dogs.
This is an increase Of 224 horses and
1873 dogs over the year 1895. In all
Germany during the year 1906 there
were slaughtered foT food 1872, 900
horses. This Is an increase Of about
10000 over 1906, and Of about $4,000
over 1904.
Complete figures are lacking In re-
gard to the slaughter Of dogs for food
in the German empire, but fragmen-
tary statistics indicate that the total
number was about ,000-zprobably
more rather than less mr..
In the city Of Chemnitz alone 69S
dogs were slaughtered in$1a06, an in
crease OF SO over. 1905, and during the
same period 1.070 horses,$.a jan Increase
Of 81 over 1905. While these two
items show an increase ofsJ75, the to-
tai number OF animals SLAUGHTERED for
food in that, city during 1905 was ,685
less. than In -905. Saxonys also con-
sllmed 214,640 head Of cattle (steers,
bulls and cows, 422,S3l calves, Liz
TIA swine, .206,o82 sheep and 74,247
goats. sll%,
These latters fgurcs excepting those
for the goats, are all sltghtiy lower
than those for 1905. M
" .'Horsedesh is very ecnsgA1Iy .adyer-
tised IN the German ncwSpapers, espe-
cially in those of the lar8s9industrial
cAntters, and most GermaR scities have

extended yesterday afternoon by the
board Of public, works for the benefit
or the state fund. This is the maxi.
mum amount that can be levied under
the law but at the same time is the
smallest III the history Of the state.
Last year the state. levy. was 8 IL cents
on the. hundred dollars, 6: cents Of
which was for state purposes and 2 IL
for the distributable school fund. I
1t will be remembered that during
the last session of the Legislature sew

made fight to wipe out the direct
state. tax SO far as the state fund
would benefit, while several Of the in
dependent members demanded that
there be no state levy for any pur-
pose Senator F6rman and the late
Senator Talbot maintained that the
administration. had promised to aboI=
dsh the state tax and while they wanted
the pledge fulfilled We're willing for q
levy of Aye cents for the benefit of
the school fund for the reason that the
money thus raised is apportioned
among the different counties. :.
AS the bill was finally passed the
board OF public works was given dis
cretionary power whether to" divide
the levy of FIVE cents or less between
the two funds or extend 1T for the
benefit OF one to the exclusion Of the
other. AT the same time the distribu-
