THE OLDEST TExr ROCK.

Within the last few years a revo-
luton has been accomplished at Ok
ford which ought really to affect the
mind of the nation more than the diff
ference between Lord Curzon and
Lord Rosebery. A text book has been
discarded which was already vener-
able for its antiquity at the beginning
of the Christian era. Needles to say,
We are referring to Euclid's "Ele-
ments.' For what other text book
ever had such a run as that? 1t has
been accepted ever since it's publica-
ton, which was in the reign of the
first Ptolemy (B. C. 323-285). No
writer hes ever become so identified
wit ha science as Euclid with geom-
etry. The nearest approaches are TO
be found in the relation of Aristotle
to logic and of Adam Smith to po-
litical economy.

WIN
FROM PAINTERS

With the score of s to 0, the Car
p~enters defeated the Painters yester-
day afternoon on the California
Heights ball diamond. The game
was good and interesting from the
start and was witnessed by a large
and enthusiastic crowd. Both teams
were we'll represented by %rooters,
who afforded the grandstand much
amusement. Hunter and Thomas
were the battery for the Carpenters
and they received excellent support
from the rest of the team. Vail and
Rodgers represented the Painters,
and had they received the support
due them the score would have been
different, as there were several costly
errors made.
The Painters have challenged the
Carpenters to a return game to be
played next Sunday for a side bet
of $500, and as the Carpenters are
ready to meet all corners, there is
every indication that the game will
be played and it should be a good
one.

PLANT IN X DAYS.
Old Property Near BarnweIl viii BE
Finely EQuipped.


The old New York mine, known
locally as the Sycamore and located
five miles southwest of Barnwell, is
to be equipped with a 1O0-ton con-
c~entrating plant, the same to be in
operation within sixty days.
James NJ. Kennedy, the efficient
superintendent, reported the matter
in person in this place last Tuesday.
He further stated that in his long ex-
perience in this line, covering a per-
iod of more than thirty-five years,
that the mine in question offers as
good a concentrating proposition as
he has ever known.
1t will be recalled that this prop
erty was bought by Philadelphia cap
italists a few months ago. Those in
position to have the near facts state
that an unusual bargain was secured.
The price was something under $780,
600 and the development work, al
ready done, represented an outlay
close to a quarter of a million dol
lars.
Superintendent Kennedy makes no
claim to any great quantity of fancy
ore, although admitting that it is
there in streaks. Several carloads Of
selected grade were shipped under a
former management, which, per car,
Melted from close to zero up to $500
profit.
Among the pioneers of the desert
there are few who could reel out
more interesting or more varied per-
sonal "reminiscences than Kennedy
if he would. In response to how far
he dated in these diggings he said:
ut must be all of ten years since |

Searchlight. 1t didn't have a rag

One of his early day reports, from
this section to one of the bonanza
kings, for whom he was in the field,
was recalled by another pioneer Of
this place. 1t reminds one of that
famous report of an Irish roadmaster
who, following a suggestion from a
railroad superintendent that he be
more brief, reported on the occasion
of the next wreck, "Of agin-on
agin-gone agin. Finnigan." Ken
nelly said: mo water, no wood, no

He first came to southern Nevada
for Mrs. Hearst. 1t was before then
that he tasted the fruits of being two
times a millionaire and essayed with
a few others to build a railroad from
Salt Lake City to the coast. A line
was built as far as Park City: also to
some coal fields. Then a heavy or
acle in the person Of Coils p. Hunt
ington informed some of the new
roads hackers that there was NOT
enough business in such an enter
prise to load a jack rabbit. Bif-

But the old man, as he would style
himself, is still a stalwart in all i'm
port respects. He has several grown
sons who are hot footing in the
tracks of their illustrious sire and
one or more are now pards with him
and said to be coming pace makers.
