STRIKE ON TWIN RIVER
MADE BY GULDFIELDERS

A strike of gold silver ore recently
at the Meadow by Morris 4 .Srat-
ford is attracting considerable attention
to a new and promising district on the
east side of Smoky valley.
The strike is a few miles south of
Ophir canyon, which has a recorded
production in gold and silver of about
three million, and is in the back
range which is a porphyry country
traversed by big quartz dykes.
The ore is a replacement quartz, lib
orally sprinkled with sulphides with
ruby silver as the predominating mIu-
eral.
Assays from the surface run 533
ounces in silver and 2.S ounces in gold,
although the ore will very seldom pan a
color.
The ore shoot opened up by the loca-
tion work is four to five hundred feet
long in a vein from three to eight feet
wide of decomposed quartz and tale.
The lead can be traced for the full
length of two claims and shows small
values along its entire length. The
work on extensions on either end of the
original discovery nave also opened up
the lead, which is therefore traceable
for over a mile.
The country is so rugged and pre-
cipitous that a 700-foot adit on the lead
will gain a depth of 500 feet under the

WILL PUSH DEVELOPMENT
AT GOLD MOUNTAIN

j. U. Grant. who has been visiting
his brother, s. It. Grant, left for his
home today via the coast. Before his
departure he purchased a entire
equipment for his lease on the Gold
Mountain Eagle, which adjoins the

MINING NOTES FROM
THE sEARCHLIGHT BULLETIN

Report comes from Crescent this
week that the management of the Nip
peno mine has been breaking into some
new and very rich ore.
Two or three sets of leasers are work
ing with excellent results ON the Double
Standard property. Also the company
itself, the Red Star, keeps a force stead
lily employed.
The Denver Searchlight, on the Jewel
and Cow Boy claims, one mile south of
Crescent, is sinking a new shaft, now
down 80 feet. 1t is a gold proposition,
with a little silver and some lead.
Values are not high, but it is regarded
very favorably, owing to a steady in
crease with depth. Starting with not
much above 81 values the ore has core
up to 81 and So. A. L.. Burr, one of the
owners, is in charge. G. H. Cooper of
Denver is president of the company.
Mr.. Burr states that for the same
company he will soon resume work on
the Yellow jacket and San Carl, which
properties lie less than a mile west of
the Quartette mine.
Preparing to Sink
Preparatory to sinking tn, main shaft
of the Philadelphia Searchlight on down
to the 1,000-foot level, a reservoir tank
has been constructed on the sixth level.
'
into which the levels above will drain.
Such an arrangement is possible for the
reason that practically all tbs water
from the fourth and iftl levels Grip
into the crosseut in which tie tank is
placed. The water thar csught will be
handled by the station pump, while that
made in the shaft viii he no;ste.l by
buckets.

that Pat really does not blame MS

the self abasing Pat would gladly

Tho Makinu of India lnk.

The manufacture Of so called india

trade secret for centuries. The name

the center Of Its production is situated
In the Chinese province Anhu. The
raw material is lampblack obtained by
the burning Of a mixture Of oil Of
sesame with varnish and hogs lard.
The slower the combustion the better
and more precious is the product. The
lampblack is mixed with a certain
amount Of glue. The dough thus form
Cd Is then beaten with steel hammers
on wooden anvils, and two laborers
working together at this task can fin
ism about forty pounds Of the dough
per day. A small addition of Japa-

peculiar smell. While still plant the
mixture is shaped in wooden forms
and dried during fair weather. In or.

When Goethe Dictated,

In Wilhelm BODIES Studies With
Goethe" an interesting chapter is made
up from the recollections Of his last
secretary, Christian Schuchardt. OF
Goethe's method when he dictated
wilhelm Meister" Schuchardt says:
HE dictated with certainty and ra-
pidity which made one fancy that he
was reading from printed book. If
this had been done in quiet and with
out interruption, l would not have
marveled SO much. But while the
work was proceeding there came the
barber, the hairdresser-Goethe had his
hair singed every other day and had it
dressed daily-the library servant, Of
ten the former secretary, his clerk, all
Of whom had access to his study unan-
nOunced. Friends called, the barber
gOssiped, the librarian told about books
newly received, some member Of the
family would enter and join in the con-
versation. and finally, when all was
again quiet. l would read the last
sentence, and the dictation would pro-
coed as though there had been no in
terruption.

Names of Dances.

The position taken by the dancers
gives the name to the "quadrille"-,
literal English for "a little square" in
the French tongue. From the French
we get also country dance" which, as
a matter Of fact, has no reference to
rural frolcs. 'Contredanse," which
has reference to the position of the
couples, opposite each other, is readily
corrupted into country dance" The
polka" Is a Polish dance, the name
being derived from the Bohemian word
''pulka," meaning half, and refers to
the half step which occurs in this
measure. The waltz" is German
waltzen. meaning to revolve-the cir.
cular motion of the couples easily ex-
planning the connection. The reel is
suggestively obvious. Jig is of
course from the French gigue-Har-

He Robbed the Thief.

From CZenstochowa, the Mecca of
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while he was in church and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief.
81 shall go into the church and steal
money from somebody else" said the
pilgrim, for l have nothing to go
home with" He went into the church
and. seeing man in the crowd with
a wallet on his back, slipped his hand
into 1t and pulled out his own stolen
purse, with the exact sum he had left
In it. He was so glad to find his mon
ey that he hurried off to tell the priest,
and the thief got away.-Warsaw Cor.

Talked Too Much.

In certain village Of New Hamp-
shire there is quaint old character
known as Boss Mellin keenly alive to
the truth of the old saying, "Silence is
golden" Mellin's gift in this respect
approaches genius, though he was full
ly aware Of what he deemed his short
comings therein.
Mellin used to make mattresses for
a living One day native of the place
entered his shop and asked, BOSS,
what's the best kind of mattress?"
"Husks," was the laconic response of
Boss.
Twenty years later, so runs the ira
dition, the same man again entered the
shop and again asked what, in the
opinion of Mellin. was the best kind of
mattress.
STRAW" said Boss.
"Straw? You told me husks was the
best.'
Boss Melln emitted a sigh. I've al
ways ruined myself by talkin," said
he
