OLD TIMES IN WHITE PINE.


the following to say about early-day
mining In White Pine county:
None of the old and long forgot
ten camps OF Nevada recalls more
stirring memories than that of
White Pine. This noted district was
discovered in 1865 by prospectors
from Austin but did not attract
much attention until Two years later.
The first finds were made near Ham,

Monte Cristo mine on White Pine
mountain, built mill and produced
some silver bullion, but the opera

mountains sixteen miles distant and
there an out-crop was discovered
that soon became famous-the Hid
den Treasure mine
White Pine mountain is a north
south range twelve miles long, and
running up TO 10000 feet altitude.
On the west slope of this range are
the veins first discovered. East of
this ana lower by about 900 feet or
more is another parallel range in
which was discovered base ores con-
tanning silver. and still east of this
is Treasure Hill, a barren, timber
less eminence 5000 feet above sea
level and separated from the sur
rounding mountains by deep can
yons on all sides.
The formation consists principal
~ of limestone and porphyry. The
limestone strata is tilted toward the
west at about twenty degrees. The
eastern slope is PERCEPTIONS, evident

ore was stained in spots with green

alls. which for the night replaced their
usual service clothes.
Yes. it was all perfect, but Nella
smiled Il little sadly to herself as she
recalled the anticipations which the
invitation had aroused. She still loved
their old farm. but her stepmother
would never permit her to go to the
country. 1t was something she was
supposed to forget.
Ted's fashionable farm had been 4
all so unreal, so insincere, and most of
all she was disappointed in the dance
itself. She made herself comfortable
in one corner of the dark porch. where
the music came but family to her ears
and where she was not liable to inter-.
ruption.
For an hour she sat huddled in a
rustic chair that had cost as much as
Il whole parlOr suit in real farm
houses. and it was not until she heard
Ted's voice that she recalled herself to
the present.
I've been looking for you every
where" he announced as he came to-
| ward her. "The bali is making a great
hit. Every one says it is the best OF
the season, and as a reward Bess says
that l may have leave of absence for
, half an hour"
"Your sister makes aeharming host

smile. 1T must be great relief to

shoulder the burden of entertaining"
You bet" declared Ted. with more
| fervor than elegance. This dance will
cover Il multitude of social debts. But

"Sincc September"

The message Secretary Taft sent the
country from the middle Atlantic is re-
markable as a wireless message and as
confession. $50 far as l know" Mr..
Taft says, "the political situation in
the United States has not changed
since September"
AS everyone else knows, however,
it has changed until, to get back into
republican politics, Mr.. Taft will need
a set of false pretenses, which if they
cannot be made entirely new through
out must be revised throughout.
When he departed. in September, a
"facetious" attorney general was ad-
vising Jail comforts for the cure of
fraudulent wealth, and the last face
tious message sent back as he himself
left the Pacific coast was that there
were many millionaires in the country.
Since September, under the principles
of thetsurvival of the fittest for mil
lionaires. the fittest among them have
been Hospitality entertained at the
White house with the spotlight turned
low. and what in September was pro-
nOunced a runaway administration
was headed back 10 the corral.
In short, the world turned around
while Secretary Taft was going round
it, and when after starting west he
comes back east he will find that the
logic of events makes a difference in
the republican situation. east and
west. In order to be as 'facetious'
now as they were in September, both
he and Mr.. Bonaparte need new set
