GIROUX STOCK ADVANCE.

The advance OF GirouX stock has
been attributed in the last week to
several causes. From the local view
point ii looks to be more attributable
TO a campaign of hustle at the prop
erty and on the part of those who are
interested in getting. surplus fund
into the treasury of the company
than to other causes which have been
named. Continued success along the
lines that have been travelled recent
ly on the financial end will mean
money enough in the treasury around
the first of the year to enable the
of much. That Ne
vada Consolidated is after the prop
erty, as has been reported in the east
recently as one of the causes for the
advance in the stock, is not believed
here. Locally there is nothing 10

its situation in all respects, the COM

GIRoux OPERATIONS.

At the Giroux the management is
very well pleased with the results
that are being obtained from opera
tion of the mill Output of the lat
ter continues at the rate of about a
80 ton car every other day. This
means about $50 tons month ship
ped to smelter at present rate of pro-
duetion. The product is running be-
tween 26 and 80 per cent copper.
Taking the lower figure, Giroux out
put of copper from smelter should
make around 100000 pounds
month. Added to the value of this
copper is about $6 in gold to the ton
of concentrates. To reduce the con-
centrates it is shipping, the Giroux
mill is handling about 400 tons of
ore a day. This ore is coming princi-
pally from the dumps. The Morris
shaft is producing some ore and the
Alpha a little from development, but
none of the shafts are on production
to material extent. The water sup
ply for the mill is coming principally
from the Alpha shaft. The system
in use to enable the rehandling of
water through the mill is coming up

DISTRICT ALIVE.

There is no lukewarmeness in the
Ely district. All hands are alive to
the belief that the coming year will
put the camp very far ahead of all
other copper districts in the country
in the interest of mining men and in
vestors Not alone is the ore produc-
ton of the camp to hold large at
tention but it will come forward as
smelling. railroad and commercial
center as we'll. There is full con-
fidence in these things in the district
and among those who have been here
to inspect its resources with their
own eyes and to size up the general
situation of the camp from the
ground. In consequence of the con-
fidence that exists in the camp there
is the closest attention being given to
assessment work and the end of the
year will find the district with very
little If any ground left open for re-
location. A great deal of the annual
work has already been done and in
not few cases the assessment work
has been ATTENDED by findings which
have added to the conviction in the
camp that it's proven ore zone has
large extension ahead.

The Indian Wife and Mother.

Harriet Quimby in Lesies Weekly
 The Seminole wonlar, is devoted mother and wife, and her position in the life of the tribe is of considerable importance She is the boss of her wigwam, and on many questions of tribal import she is consulted. If she finds it necessary t) her happiness and peace of mind to obtain a divorce from her brave, she is permitted to do 50 without disgrace, and her children are invariably awarded to her. In return for these privileges the Seminole woman is unusually patriotic. She not only maintains the highest possible moral standard for her people, but she excludes outsiders entirely. Any young souaw who allows her heart to stray to a white man, and to allow that stray ing to be known, is subject to death. There is legend to the effect that one such case occurred, and that the guilty souaw was found one day hanging to Il tree. where all the women in the tribe had helped to hang her. The cherish ing of the women is said to come from a desire to preserve the race, and as marriages outside of the tribe are not allowed and marriages in the tribe are governed by strict law of gems, the women, young and old, are cherished as carefully as are white women, and the behavior of the Seminole brave differs considerably in this regard from that of the braves in other tribes where women are more numerous.

 But there's a million to one chance for you and me losing out on it. There must have been about a million ears of corn in those bags down on that deck and I'd blundered upon the only red ear in the whole darned layout. l guess may be Jonahdoo wasn't trailing me around that time or nothn'."
 "Got punk dose out in Seattle once, said sheet writer. T was on the oa- zaaz so bad that time that the eats looked as unreal as circus posters to me-
 T plugged ana maced around, but live ones were hard to spring. Finally, down at the depot I nailed guy I'd known Lack here. He was just about to hop d train for New York when l lapeled him. Told him I just naehuly had to eat and that he was It.
 We'll, he was one of these jamwads that figured maybe I wanted the coin for rum, and so he said he'd stake me to a meal ticket There was a little Chink cating dump across the street from the Ttaton, and he trudged over there and bought out a seven-day meal ticket, good for 21 sit-downs.
 That was the incest green card, with places marked for the restaurant cash ier's punch, that ever I saw in my life. He slipped me the green meal ticket and made his getaway on the tram, and l started to cut across the street to have the first punch out in that meal ticket. Never was so hungry in my life before or since, and I was fighing myself, hold ing the thicket out at arms length as l crossed the street. as to whether I'd be- gin on pork chops or ham and eggs.
 Well, I'd just reached the curb leading over to the restaurant on which l had the green meal ticket. when little flick CT of wind sailed around the corner and fiuttered the ticket out of my hand. It dropped on the stone Tagging right n front of the restaurant.
 q was hotfooting over to pick it up, when a big Swede lumberjack, wearing hobnailed brogans. darted around the corner. He had glazed grip in his hand and was hustling to catch local for a lumber camp.
 ''I was just bending over to grab my green meal ticket, when down came he heel of one of that Scandihoolihan's hob nailed shoes on my new, unused meal ticket, and with his hobnails he punched out each and every one of those meals just as slicl- as if the job had been done with a well-oled punch"
 Gee, that was a rum deal, com mented one of the listeners.

From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
 They were telling hard-luck stories at Considine's Glassorium the other night
 "Got into a poker game once on one of the San Joaquin river boats running be- tween San Francisco and Stockton" said man who's now making an on the limo book at the tracks around here, "and it took me quite a long time to get next that they were breaking it off in me- I'd Iever seen any of the four before, but
 when they asked me in for a four bit limit game, why, I said to myself might ; as well drop my 29 bones that way as any ether.
 Didn't have any chips, but one of he four-he said he followed the county fairs with trotting horses-had a couple of great big prize ears of corn in his bag that he'd picked up at one of the fairs. and so we shucked those ears and played with grains of corn Big, yaller grains they were Eard to handle, and I found mine pretty hard to keep.
 Every time l got hold of anything they had me topped. and at the end of an hour or so was nursing five or six of tho SC yellow grains. each representing two bits like man up near the north pole might l urse the last few of a boz of matches And I'd tumbled to it that one of the bunch was dealing from the bottom, and Of course that put me hep to 1t and that they were al playing together
 Well, when I got down to my last five or six corn grains I had an idea. I'd watched em load the boat at Stockton that afternoon. and I'd seen 'em hoist in a hundred or so bags of corn One of the bags of corn had busted in being f-oisted in. and I'd seen that it was val Ter corn all right enough.
 Well, as I say. when l got down to my last few grains of corn l had this idea
 You see I couldn't wait till I went pos itively broke on the corn I'd bought from the banker that had the two ears because I didn't have any more money to buy a rew stack, and and if I'd gone out leay- ing no corn chips behind at all and had sat in again with grains of corn why, of course, they'd sure have got hep to me as having copped some corn somewhere
 So, with those five or six beans yet re : maining, l excused myself from the game for minute and l went out. Went right to the deck where I knew the corn was.
 "It was pretty dark down there and lo- body around. I found the heaped up bags of corn all right and I got out my pock- et-knife and jabbed a hole in one of the burlap bags and pulled out an ear Of corn. I shucked the ear there in the darkness and put about 100 of the grans in my pocket. They wero worth two bits apiece to me, and it looked pretty soft
 ''Then hustled back and rejoned the game. Didn't have any luck with the five or six yaller grains that I'd left on the table, and so when it came my ante just reached furtlvely into my pocket and showed in one of the grains of corn that I'd copped down below.
 T was hep to the mess I was in al- most as soon as I'd showed the grain oc corn to the center, but 1t was too late then. They'd all noticed it.
