Samuel Butler, the witty but eccen-

means "Nowhere'-and of many other
remarkable and suggestive books, Is
now more read than during his life
time. He died in 1902. In one OF his
notebooks he tells this incident, which
must have amused the great Charles
Darwin:
Frank Darwin told me his father
was once standing near the hippopota-
mus cage when a little boy and girl,
aged four and five, came up. The MP
popotamus shut his eyes for a minute.

Smiles Face Value.

certainly realize at times that 1t Is a

High Praise

Greatly pleased with the showing
evident at the Blaine mine was j. f
Murphy, who visited that and other
properties in the Granite district
yesterday. Comparing the Granite
with Rawhide Mr.. Murphy had nc
hesitancy in declaring the showing
better at the local proposition than
In the new rush camp. He is a gold
miner of many years experience in
Colorado and this state.
Granite district formation is
much better than that at Rawhide,
while the amount of ore in sight
makes it look promising. OF course,
the greater part of 1t is low grade.
but for that matter so is Rawhide.
This talk about the rich strikes of
high grade at Rawhide is all hot air.
Occasionally they run into streaks
of high grade the thickness of a
knife blade and extending for three
or four feet. Then the cry of a rich
strike is heard.
There is ore at Rawhide Peo-
pie saying there is not are badly
mistaken. Balloon hill Is practically
one mass of low grade. At the Gran
lite. however, there are several hills
equally as good IL not better looking
than Balloon hill. Speaking conser-
vatively, | cannot see why the Gran
lite should not make a great gold
district. I think we'll enough of it
to return to it shortly and will then
spend about two weeks prospecting
in the hills" With Mr.. murphy On
his trip yesterday was Walter Nc
Nichols. who was at Rawhide with
him. Mr.. McNichols was equally as
high in his praise of the new dis
trict.
The rush to the Granite continued
unabated yesterday. In spite of snow

documentary local evidence was
given yesterday by filing of three To-
cation notices by j. s. Hathaway and

TO WITHDRAW

A report has been circulated in
Reno that the government aid for the
maintenance of the military force at
the state university will be immedi-
ately discontinued and the instruc-
tor called from the state. 1t is un-
derstood that the reason for the ac-
tion is the fact that at the present
time there is very small attendance
at the university and the require
ments demanded in this respect by
the federal government are not lived
up to. President Stubs denied the
report, stating that he had received
no notification from the government
and further stating that the appro-
priation for the year 1908 had al
ready been allowed by the govern
