Rich Strike in Inyo

and samples from a strike his pros
pectors have made in the Argus range.

the territory the men came upon an
old fifty foot shaft, and in this found
a four-foot ledge. They took samples
and sent them to Tonopah, and lit
has been found that they run S54 in
gold. The ore is of character that
admits its being valued at $40 to the

Comets In oldsn DAYS.

People nowadays do not regard the
comet as one of those signs that fore
run the death or fall Of kings, but the
superstition was still current In the
time of Queen Elizabeth, though, to
the amazement Of her courtiers, the
queen calmly scorned 1t. 1t was also
thought that if the sovereign would re-
frain from looking at the malignant
celestial passerby no harm would come
to her. On one occasion Elizabeth's
attendants shut and curtained her win
dows, but her majesty, as might have
been expected, with "a courage an
swerable to the greatness of her es-
tate" caused them to be opened, cry
ing as she looked up: "Jacta est alea-
the die is castv' Then, like King Knut
ON the seashore she read her people a
homily, asserting that her ''steadfast
hope and confidence were too firmly
planted in the providence of God to be
blasted or affyighted with those beams
which either had no ground in nature
whereupon to rise or at least no war
rant in Scripture to portend the mis-
haps of princes

The Doctors lmaoination.

ri have a good story on one of Wash
ington's best known oculists," said a
prominent clubman, addressing some
friends In the billiard room of the Met
ropolitan club. my eyes had trou-
bled me for some months, and finally
went to see the doctor about them.
AFTER a thorough examination he
said that the muscles were badly
strained, and then he gave me a pre-
scription for drops to be used In my
eyes three times day. When left
he gave me an appointment for that
day week, as he said he could not ex-
anime my eyes for glasses until they
were In their normal condition.
"Well, mlslaid that blessed pre-
scription, and as l was particularly
busy that week had no time to get
another copy. So in some trepidatlon
kept my second appointment.
"As the doctor examined my eyes
hesitated a moment about telling him
had not used the drops, when he took
the words out Of my mouth and the
breath out Of my body by remarking
with pleased emphasis:
"'Your eyes are very much i'm
proved. That medicine which / gave
you is certainly wonderful. 1t always
has such prompt and satisfactory re-
suits

Turkey Shooting

During the holidays there are al
ways more or less turkey shoots held
in this county, and this year was no
exception to the rule. A great many
people always take advantage of these
to trysto get turkey cheap, some
succeeding, others spending as high
as ten dollars, and sometimes more,
for single turkey, while others get
one in few shots. AS a general
rule it costs twenty five cents shot.
These shoots have been known to
pay the promoter as high as two
hundred per cent on the original in
vestment. Turkeys this year in this
neighborhood cost around thirty
cents pound within a day or two of
Christmas, while in a certain part of
the foothill country where shoots
and raffies had been prohibited the
price of turkey the day before Christ
mas was between sixteen and eighteen
cents on the street. This was the
price set by the ranchers, who would
come IN early in the morning with q
wegn load. In a great many coun-
lies II the state this practice of tur-
sf- bots has been absolutely pro-
4, and it should be in every
10 ~. 1t is allowable to have target
shoots the one closest to the mark,
or making certain score, being
entitled to bird. This does away
with the needless manning of the tur-
key, and of course the suffering that
goes with it. Imagine turkey
fastened to stake about one hun
dred yards from the shooting line,
and number of men trying their
best to draw the first Elood, which
means that the bird is theirs, when
another will be put in its place. to
meet the same fate.

The head Of large mercantile house

that the latter's son be placed In some
business house where he could learn

Soon after the western millionaire
received the following reply from his
New York friend:

lishment at SO week with others of his

Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drinksr.

Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drinker.
There is an amusing letter written
by the Earl Of Leicester to Lord Bur
leigh as to the lack of sufficiently
strong ale for the queen at Hatfield.
"There is not one drop of good drink
for her here. We were fain to send
to London and Kenilworth and divers
other places where ale was. Her own
beer was so strong as there was no
man able to drink It," Ale and bread
were the chief items of the royal
reakfast. The quantity Of ale con-
sumed by ladies at breakfast in those
days was considerable, for In the reign
of Henry VIII. the maids Of honor
were allowed for breakfast lone Chef
loafe, one manchet two gallons of ale
and a pitcher of wine" A Lady Lucy
made mighty tonic of the national
brew. Her breakfast was a chine of
beef, loaf and gallon Of ale, and
for her pillow meal a posset porridge,
generous cut of mutton, loaf and a
gallon of aie.-Westminster Gazette.

THE RED FRONT STORE
A Good Idea

The State Educational journal has
the following notice of superintend-
ent Greenbalgh's adoption Of the
loose leaf method Of keeping the list
of library books adopted for the
county schools in classified order:
superintendent Greenhalgh of
Amador county. has originated new
form for his adopted list of school
library books. He has classified his
books first, and bad the lists printed
so that these classes would be on
separate sheets. This makes it posi-
BILE to keep all future adoptions
segregated according to the same
classification by using loose leaf
folder, instead of having the list
bound in book form. In the future.
when the board of education makes
adoptions, l will have the slips
printed, all classified iand punched,
he says, and all the teachers will
have to do will be to put them under
the proper heading. - ''Just the
loose leaf idea, but new application
of 1t, and commendable one.''
These lists we're printed in the
Ledger Office few months ago, and
involved considerable work. Com
petitive bids we're invited for the
printing. But the Ledger was the
only Office that put in a bid, being
the only Office equipped for the work.
The contract was given to the Ledger
at the fixed price named. When the
bill was sent in to the supervisors for
this work, there was a great hue and
Cry made; it was graft, according
to the reigning clique, and their
cIaquers on the street could not help,
even before the supervisors met,
exulting over the showing up the
editor of the Ledger was TO get when
the bill came up for consideration.
1t was a fine chance to even-up scores.
The board met, and the district attor-
ney was there to oppose payment.
he knew nothing about the merits of
the matter, but on general principles
wanted the bill rejected or cut down.
The printer was summoned, and as
soon as he entered it was the signal
for a hurricane, of abuse from the
legal adviser of the county. The
printing of the books in classified
order and on independent pages, left
of course lot of blank space in some
pages, and this was deemed proof
positive of graft, although in real
ity, it was the essential feature of the
job, without which it would have
failed of its purpose. When the
board was properly informed on the
subject, the bill was allowed exactly
as presented, and that too in defiance
of the protest of the district attorney.
Now the official organ of the state
commends the school superintendent
for applying the loose leaf system in
this case. While the first cost is
more than the old fashioned way, it
will be much the cheapest in the end,

She Does Not Think Anarchist Tried
to Kill shlppy.
Springfield, Mo-, March 2.-Emma
Goldman, the anarchist, arrived to
night from st. Louis and received her
first account Of the attack upon Chief
Of Police shippy Of Chicago. She
said:
"Of course the man had to be an
anarchist II he tried to kill anybody.
Somebody kills somebody else o. tries
to shoot him and the world, the ON
GERS and the newspapers cry an
archist."
""The dispatch says the dead man is
unknown and unidentified and yet Of
fcers call him an anarchist. / know
nothing whatever about the affair, but
1 would be willing to guarantee that
the man was not an anarchist, but
some fatanic or somebody with a pri-
vate grudge against Shippy."
Mayor Blaine wanted to prevent
the appearance Of Miss Goldman as =
speaker in Springfield tonight, but an
attorney told him there was no law
under which he could accomplish
this.
