Gold Circle Mines

Mr.. y. V. Reeves, one of the owners
of the Queen groupof mines i'll the Gold
Circle district, gave us the following
items yesterday concerning that dis
trict:.
The Queen group has IA inches of ore
that assays $2Sl4 per ton.
Seven tons of ore from the Queen
group and sixteen tons from the Boyle,
the McNetton, Pyne and Weston lease,
were shipped from Golconda on Novem-
Der Goth, and Mr.. Reeves went to Salt
Lake to see the ore sampled. T. d.
Ryan, manager of the lease, has also
gone to Salt Lake to take care of the
ore from the lease.
Three and one-half tons of the ore
from the Queen group is very high
grade ore and three and one-half tons
will run about $i75 per ton.
The Queen vein is showing strong
with we'll defined foot wall, covered
with tale and very smooth showing
action.
The Jordou and Schenck lease on the
Great Western claim of the Queen
group is showing free gold i'll the quartz.
The owners of the Queen, Reeves,
Hager and Storey, are taking out about
twelve and one-half tons of high grade
ore per day, drifting OH their ore chute.
The gold i'll this rich vein can be readily
seen four feet away by candle light and
any handful of ore out of sack will
show free gold without the aid of a
glass. The boys sold to Frank Winter
of Tuscarora the gold washed ont of
IL double handful of soft ore from this
chute for 81. 75 ut S11 40 per ounce.
The ore now being shipped is going to
the Pioneer sampler of Salt Lake.
When this shipment of ore reached
Golconda, it was guarded during the
night. Three lanterns were placed on
the wagon and Il man stood guard 10 see
that none of the ore was spirited away.

Nevada's Divorce Record

During the years bounded by 1887
and 1906 there were 1915 divorces
granted in the State of Nevada, ac-
cording to the statistics of marriage
and divorce recently issued by the
government In 1900 the rate per lO0,-
600 population in this state was Ill;
in 1880. LOG.
TwO-thrds of the total number of
divorces granted in Nevada in the
20-year period covered by this inves-
tigation were granted to the wife.
Without any reference to the question
of which party was the more frequently
responsible for the martial unhappincss
that led to divorce, it may be said that
the wife had legal ground for divorce
more frequently than the husband.
Cruelty, although not infrcqnently the
ground for divorces granted to Nevada
husbands, was more generally existent
rs cause for the wife'S seeking q
divorce. Five divorces for cruelty were
granted to the wife for every one grant.
ed to the husband.
Only l5per cent of the divorces were
returned as contested. Almony was
demanded i'll Is per cent of the divorces
granted to the wife. and was granted in
1871 per cent. The average duration of
marriages terminated by divorce was
about 10 years. Children were reported
i'll 30.S per cent of the total number of
oases.--Reno Journal.

NJ France may not be reckless. but he knows
very well how to scandalize his reader. Only
he does it with the air of a distinguished per
son who is nothing If not refined, and counts
upon the compaisance of those who hate to be
taken for phlistnes as the devil hates holy
water The vuIgarity of The Red Lily is, in
Matthew Arnold's phrase. of the centre. but it
is embroidered all over. perfumed and pretty
nearly disguised. by the insolence Of individual
ity and by sheer technique.
The dubious strain in "The Red Lily" is pres

You may get half way through some Of his
novels before coming upon patch of coarse
ness, and then, in the next chapter. you forget
it. The shorter pieces. too, are especially apt
to be free from the obnoxious taint. Witness.
for example, the justly famous legend In
Mother of Pearl" Of "Our Lady's Juggler." In
this and in other beautiful tales in the same
volume you have AnatOle France on his half
romantic, half mystical side at his best. De
voted readers of his might assert that the still
more famous story of THE ProcuratOr Of
Judaa," with its pognantly ironical conclusion.
is an even finer thing. 1t is. perhaps. more
characteristic but on the other hand, there is
more in it of that corrosive sophisticatiOn which
at once attracts and repels in this writer, and
certainly does more than anything else to wake
doubts as to whether he will prove one Of the
immOrtals.
If those doubts are ever brushed aside as IN
welcome intruders, it is when NJ. France is in
purely literary mood. the man of books kindlinS
to poetic themes of whom shall see mere as
this edition of his work proceeds. He is alto
gether winning then. not only a luminous critic
but one of those takers whose temperamental
qualities are by themselves charming. A fleet
ing impression Of his will work an enChantment
not to be exerted by the reasoned periods Of
many a deeper thinker. Here again his style is
inseparable from his effect and the translator is
sadly handicapped, but some idea of the appeal
that he makes may be gathered from the fol-
lowing in Mr.. AIlinson's version of The Gar
