THE "AVERAGE MAN"

The average man lives and dies
comparatively poor. He has not
the faculty for accommodating mon
ey; you could not pass laws enough
to make him rich financially. The
exceptional man is made to make
money; money seems to stick to
his fingers, and you can not keep
him poor. The life-history OF the
man who has lived an unsullied
life aud died poor is one of I'M
eventfulness. He is generally
generous-hearted, and never as
pires to enrich himself. All he
asks is decent living, worthily
earned--a roof-tree and food and
clothing for his family. Out of
his modest earnings, he will prob
ably save enough to pay for his
modest hune-seldom more. He
gives bis children common school
education and starts them out into
the world with "God bless you"
for their dover. He is honorable
in his dealings; he pays his debts;
he works hard and spends little
for luxuries. He seldom complains
of his lot, aud never knowingly
commits crime against the state
or humanity. He loves much, and
laughs more. He may put by a
few dollars for his old age, but Of
tener not. When he dies. men
say of him she WAS an honest man
and a good citizen. We shall miss
him" There is nothing in it to
exploit; just the story of an aver
age-one of the salts of the earth.
We all know or knew him and his
kind. He has lived according to
his light, and his being has served
it's purpose. No man is ever a
failure who has left behind him
the influence of usefulness and
stroug integrity. Elk.

The Lucky horseshoe is the sub
ject of an interesting letter writ
ten to the Boston Herald. The
letter follows: II have noticed
several communications in your
paper about the horseshoe as a
symbol of good luck, and the dis
cussion seems to center about its
position when set up, whether the
toe should be up or down. 1t is
in my mind that the origin of the
idea that the horseshoe is emblem-
attic of good luck is something like
this: A NEUROLOGICAL legend owns
that certain god, having fought
a losing battle, was escaping on his
good horse, being closely pressed
by his enemies. He was confident
of eluding them until his horse
cast a shoe and soon went lame.
In distress and despair the god
and his horse came to forge in
the forest Upon the god stating
his plight, the master of the forge
fastened shoe upon the horses
foot with such skill and alacrity
that the horse pranced for JOY and
paved his gratitude, and WAS soon
able to carry his master into safe
ty. Before waving adieu, the god
thanked the blacksmith and pro-
claimed that for all time the horse
shoe. which had enable him to
escape death, should be the en-
blem of good luck Although l
can not give the authority for the
above story, [ have no doubt you
will find that it exists, if you have
inclination or time to look it up
The question of whether the shoe
should be up or down is unimpor-
tant. The shoe is the emblem
THE COMMONER.

New Find on Granny Ground

c. r.. Schoonover, the superintend-
ent OF the Granny gold mine, has
made an important strike. 1t is an
entirely new find, as the vein was
first uncovered by Mr.. Schoonover a
couple Of days ago.
A week or SO ago, while looking
over the ground, the superintendent
picked up a piece of float that looked
good TO him. The pan and the as
savers returns verified his opinion
and he began a diligent search for
the vein from which the float had
been carried. His experience in
prospecting aided him in his search
and led to the discovery of a strong
vein that assays from good milling
into the hundreds. Mr.. Schoonover
says the Granny is bound to win out.
The acreage is on Litigation hill,
which is fast coming TO the front and
has values enough itself to make
Manhattan a thriving camp.-Mail.

The east side, especially that ter

STILL BIGGER STRIKE

Thursday morning the day shift on
the Golden Eagle Leasing company
broke into a good body of rich sui
phide ore, carrying a big percentage
of gold. Some of the ore carries free
gold, and all of it pans well. No as
say returns have been received from
this last strike as yet, but the char
aeter of the ore is too we'll known
in this district to admit of any doubt
as to its big values. The vein,
which was a small streak of high
grade at the surface of the cropping,
has gradually widened until, at a
depth of twenty feet, it is fourteen
inches wide, and is assuming excel
lent form. Conviction is strong here,
on the part of those who have
watched this lease for two weeks,
that it is n Of the biggest things
in the district, and there is a
scramble for the stock. which has
long since been heavily oversub-
scribed, although the original allot-
ment of treasury stock has been
trebled.
A series of five assays from this
lease, taken this week. returned
$40.64, $S31.96, $4,000, $89O.91,
$419.21 and $12.41. No returns yet
in from the sampling of the strike of
Thursday. but there is no doubt as
to the extremely high grade quality
of the ore.-Fairvie wNews.

The Importance Of these late develop
ments are momentous to the Nevada
Hills and surrounding properties, and
the result of the next few weeks
work is anxiously awaited by all con-
cerned.
The Knox lease presents a busy
spectacle, with the ore house rushing
to completion, excavations being
made for two mor engines, while
the dump of shipping ore continues
to increase in size; the ore cannot be
moved fast enough, with the present
production, as there is no sorting at
all, and everything goes into the
sack Just as broken down. Founda-
lions are being placed for the second
hosting engine, same size as the
present N in use, and for the 60
horsepower engine and compressor.
All of this machinery pulled out of
Tonopah on Tuesday of this week. 1t
is being brought overland by freight
teams in order to insure its arrival
here without delay, and within ten
days from the starting day they
should arrive at the works here. This
equipment will double the hoistirg.

sinking can be carried on without
in the least interfering with the pro-
duction of ore. When in full oper-
alton the capacity of the entire works
will prove to be not less than $50
tons of ore every t~wenty-four hours,
which means an output of $4,000
for the same length of time. Not
less than $50 men will be employed
for the last ten weeks of the lease

The Making of a Great Mine With
Development
Some of the most regular and con-
sistant work done in the district has
been upon the Golden Anchor claim
of the Rosebud Nevada Mining COM
pany. While It has not shown any
sensational values on the surface or
In the workings, the returns have
been sufficient TO warrant the maxi
ing of a mine with sufficient develop
ment.
In the lower shaft, at a depth of
fifty feet. a crosscut has been run for
fifteen feet on one side and forty
feet on the other, and neither wall
has been reached. This shows about
sixty feet of liberalization. At
eighteen feet from the shaft an av-
erage sample was taken from the en-
tire face of the drift, which is four
feet wide by eve feet high. 1t
showed values of $62.3S, there be-
ing less than one ounce in silver, the
remaining being gold. On the foot
wall side is a streak eighteen inches
wide which runs eight ounces in gold.
While the full width of this vein is
not known, 1t is strong, the ore is in
place. and the values are most en-
couraging. The highest assay OBJ
tanned from the workings was seven
ounces in gold. Some sulphides have
appeared in this ore. The company
is now sinking this shaft and a depth
OF 100 or $50 feet will be attained
before any more prosecuting is done,
On this work a whim-the first in
the district-has been installed.
Further up the hill, in the discov-
cry shaft. ore running $173 in gold
with practically no silver values has
been uncovered.
The tunnel which has been driven
TO cut this ledge is now in $50 feet.
AT 325 feet a i-foot vein was cut, and
it is expected that a few feet further
will have to be driven before the
ledge with the rich showing above is
encountered, Assays from the vein
in the tunnel gave returns of $13 in
gold and silver.
Ten men are at work on this prop
erty and more will be put out as soon
as room can be made for them. The

NEVADA
LEASE RECORD

Since so much power and ma
chinery have been shipped into this
district the developments Of one week
are sufficient to make a contrast in
the condition of the mines and pros
poets now working. and while the
visitors marvel at the revelation af-
forded by fifteen months growth in
Fairview, rel the residents of the
camp are astonished by the changes
wrought between weekly visits to the
hills. The approach of July /. con-
trary to the usual summer experi-
ence, finds us witnessing more actual
mine-making than was in evidence
May l. In short, the sweltering heat
of the hot months does not retard
the development of Fairview this
summer, and each day brings more
life and more people to the district.
1t is said to be the only camp In the
state whose population and the num-
Der of men employed are increasing
through the summer.
Rapid strides have been made at
the Knox lease during the past eve
days; while the production of high
grade shipping ore is maintained
without sorting the main shaft is
dropping down rapidly, and thirty
five feet has been made since the
start from the 100-foot level was
made. As was expected, the vein was
cut on the dip at 1875 feet the first
OF this week, and the shaft is now
dropping down to the north of the
vein; at the intersection of the shaft
with the vein the ore was in splendid
and regular form, with perfect walls:
the shoot was fully three and a half
feet wide, and the values we're
something enormous, easily ~eclipsing
any yet found in the camp. The
series of assays, about twenty in
number, taken from the vein where
the shaft passed through it, is the
most remarkable in the history of
Fairview, and the picture values
there excel, on the whole, any previ-
Gus sampling of the Nevada Hills
vein.
In the drift to the East, on the
vein at the 100-foot level, there has
been a demonstration which may ex-
plode the theory of a decided fault
in the main ledge of the Nevada
Hills, at a point but a short distance
east of the leasing shaft; the fault
ing plane vas supposed to be at an
angle that would give plenty of stop
ing o. at the 200-foot level, and
provide more r than could be re-
moved in four months time, and the
work was being conducted along this
line, But this east drift at the 100
foot level, instead Of running into a
faulting plane, has turned off to the
north in such a manner as to give
opinion to the effect that the fault
ing plane is not a perfect one-that
1t does not cut the vein off-and
that the ore shoot will be found to
continue on through the Boulder No.
