A Famous Model.

A good many years ago-27, to be
exact-the most famous model in the
world, Antonio Corsi. wandered from
town to town as strolling minstrel In
England. Felix Moscheles, the ia.
nous artist, happened to discover him
at Dover, brought him to London and
employed him as a model That was
the beginning of a really artistic
career, and to-day Antonio Corsi has
the distinction Of being the finest
model in the world, as we'll as the
most famous. All classes of painters
have been thankful to employ him
He posed for Sargent and Abbey for
the we'll known paintings in the Bos-
ton public library, and he has not Lss-
dained to appear as Mephistopheles on
a can Of deviled ham.

THE OLD MAN TO JAsEz.
Advises Him to Cultivate Retieenee,
as Becoming and Profitable.

"Jabez," said that wise old fellow,
Jabez's father, TO his talkative son,
you talk too much; your clatter is 60
ing on all the time.
There's an old saying: Young
folks should be seen, but not heard.
You've passed the young folks stage,
you are now a man out in the world
on your own account, and when there
is really occasion FOR you to say any
thing you want to say it and be not
afraid, and there may even be times
when you want to blow your own horn
and blow 1t good and strong; but you
want to know when those times are
and never, never talk just to hear
yourself talk.
IT'S astonishing how much ig-
norance a man can reveal by aimless
conversation, and even more aston
ishing how much credit a man can
get for knowing things simply by keep
ing his mouth shut. Many a good,
many a big reputation has been built
on so slender a foundation as reti-
cence. And when you come to think
of it, reticence makes not so slender
a foundation, after all, for it betokens
at least self-control, and is not self
control, self command the foundation
of all success? 1t surely is.
"Jabez, my boy, you have much to
learn. Even you in your sane mo-
ments will admit that. Don't tell peo-
pie how little you know by overtalk-
ing. Talk when you have to, and
don't be shy; never be afraid; but
even in this talking condense and be
always clear and explicit
Don't say unnecessary and irrele-
want things; they distract the mind of
your hearer and weaken the argu.
ment. say again, Jabez, talk when
the time comes and never be afraid;
but as to talk in general-don't.
"Culticate, rather, a habit of reti-
cence. So you will get reputation
for knowing something and that even
more valuable reputation, that of
man who is not gabbler. Cultivate
habit of reticence, Jabez; and when
in doubt keep your mouth shut. You
will live to thank the old man for
this advice"

BELMONT R-EJUvENATED

Tuesday morning, September 22d, the
whistle from the new mill of the 5
euritv Reduction company at Belmont
vas blown for the first time and the
machinery set in motion. The event
marks an epoch in the history of Be-.
mont. 1t means the regeneration of the
old camp, the beginning of operations
that will again bring the oree famous
producer before the public.
The work of constructing the mill has
been in progress for several months, and
the plant would have been started up
two weeks ago had not an unexpected
mishap to the machinery caused a de-
lay. The plant is known as a Fuller
mil, and has a capacity of $50 tons per
day. II will grind from a 40 to 200
mesh at the rate of about nine tons an
hour.

As a synonym for fruitless endeavor,
the pharse carrying Goa to Newcas-
tie" might as well be replaced by Gear
rying cotton to Georgia. "earrying
sugar to Louisiana carrying iron
to Mesaba,' or "carrying copper to
Butte" But there is one article that
escapes the general classification in this
reckoning, and that is gold. There
would be nothing ridiculous in carrying
gold to Goldfeld. Indeed, such a thing
is now on the way to being done, with
Rawhide as the source of supply, says
the Nevada Mining News.
1t may be news to the general pubiic,
but il is nevertheless a fact that there
are more applications for leases in Raw
hide from the successful Goldfield min
ers than from any other source.
No mining camp of proved worth ever
wastes any time or thought on any
other mining camp, unless it has made
good in every sense of the term. The
reasons for this must be obvious even
TO the most casual observer. Especially
is it true of the newspapers of the older
camps. 1t is another very Significant
fact. then, that the weeklies of Gold
field and the dailies of Tonopah are de
voting such a large amount of space to
the discoveries and prospects, and all
the doings of Rawhide.
Jealousy on the part of older mining
camps often biases their views at the
outset of the career of a new mining
camp. In some cases, this jealousy has
a very practical basis. The mines OF
the new camp may attract attention
away from those of the older one, capt
tai for investment may be detected
from the old into the new channel, ana
the old camp made tc pay very ieaiiy
for the prosperity of the new. In other
instances, this jealousy is wanton, and
often is merely an expression OF the
doubt that any good can come out OF
Nazareth. In other words, IT reheets

death of many ephemerai Blooms thai

tive of his present frame of mind and
chastencd heart thai no evil word re-
garding Rawhide has e~seslri lnna since

nounced.
The reason hat the Goldield and
Tonopah newspapers devote so much
space to Rawhide is that the greatness
of the new camp is so firmly established
there is no longer room for the enter
tainment of a doubt. Those who are on
the ground, or close to Rawhide, know
it is only a matter of months when the
full truth regarding the vast richness
and great extent of the new district
must become known To the world, and
that the newspaper which would now
suppress. distort or minimize the truth
about Rawhide must in the very near
future suffer the punishment sure to be
visited upon any newspaper that fails
in it's duty to it's subscribers.
To be sure. such a course as those
Goldfcid and Tonopah newspapers are
following, Improbable as ii may seem
to the novice in journalism and to the
individual who is willing to sacrifice the
dollar of tomorrow for the nickel of
today, is pursued by the fa~rsighted and
the broadminded only. 1t is a pleasure
for the Nevada Mining News to record
the fact that Nevada journalism in
cludes within it's domain many editors
of this type. II is to their efforts, as
much as to her gold mines, that Nevada
must look for her future.

The Ubehebe district and the many
large deposits of smelling ores in the
Magruder range, as well as the ores of
Hornsilvcr, are much desired by the
Ely smelters. There is no way of secur-
ing these ores except by putting in a
railroad, therefore a railroad is coming
surely.
A trial shipment of 100 tons of ore
was made from the Ubehebe district
from what is known as the Smith prop
critics, and the ore averaged $40 a ton.
That is not pay ore at the present time,
as the wagon haul to Cuprite is sixty
two miles, and freighting by this meth
OIL is expensive.
John Salsberry, of Tonopah, is en-
gagged actively in working for a rail
road for Ubehebe. He and his asso-
ciates are largely interested in that
section and are anxious for its develop
ment. The route from Cupritc is the
easiest, practically the shortest and the
only logical one.
Where such vast interests are to be
served and an immense production of
wealth effected, the building of sixty
or seventy miles of railway will be ae-
complished easily. Hence this great
area filed with varied mineral de-
posits is likely soon to be opened upon
the advent of the indispensable railway.
