THE laugh WAS
On The DOCTOR
BURGLAR HELPS HIMSELF TO
WHISKEY WHILE RIFLING
MEDICO'S POCKETS.

DR.. Cowden of the Miners hospi-
tai was robbed at an early hour yes
terday morning. He was robbed in
his own room, was a witness to the
robbery, in fact, an accessory to the
fact. He and DR.. Mensendeick oc-
cupy the same apartments, and Cow
den was just doing off after re-
turn from a late call. A man came
into his room, and took up his trous-
ers, and carried them to the adjoin-
ing apartment, then returned with
them. The man was fully dressed,
and walked easily without attempt
at concealment. BY the side of the
doctor hung his coat in which re-
posed his trusty revolver But he
didn't draw; he just yawned as the
burglar calmly poured out drink
from the decanter, smacked his lips
in appreciation of some of the Ne
vada's Clubs Old Grow, rubbed the
aroma in with the back of his hand
and walked out Then the doctor
went to sleep.
When the man of medicine awaK-
ened yesterday morning and drew on
his trousers, he noticed a suspicious
lightness in the pockets He dived
down into the depths and drew forth
blank where the night before there
had reposed thirty-five plunks. Then
he remembered the man in the room
andcal led to his colleague, and told
him that he had seen him going
through his antics. Il saw YOU IN
last night, doctor" he said. "Were
you sick?''
Not /, was the RESPONSE g!
never slept so soundly in all my
life"
What! Do you mean to say that
you did not come into my room, and
walk about it, and help yourself to
urlnK OF WnlSkey?'
Il should say not"
DR.. Cowden looked vaguely al
Mensendeick, then slowly searched
the remaining pockets of his trous
ers. Finally he spoke.
Doctor said he, with conyic
ton, Il am an ass
'Shush!" replied the doctor. 'Let
1t go as burro. l know you are {
kicker, but the other. Tut. tut. my
dear fellow
Then Cowden told him all abou
the man in the room, the drink O
whiskey, and the disappearance O
the thirty-five. The other docto,
shook his head solemnly and finall,
suggested to the doctor the pro
priety of telling Mis- troubles to !
policeman, Chief Malley was sen
for and after hearing the story
laughed heartily.
You know who it is" DR.. Cow
den cried eagerly.
No; how should / know. Yol
saw him; I didn't. What did h,
look like?'
Il give it up. Have a drink
Excuse me-" said the chief. "Il
have to take this whiskey for evi
dence, for you say that the burgla
took drink of it."
The doctor gasped and then, but
toning his coat, cried:
I'm glad put my trousers on be
fore you came. l suppose you woul,
have wanted those, too, for evidence
and it looks like snow"
Its a cold day, Doc said Men
sendeick, consolingly, as they watch

ley, his right hand clutching the evi

INCREDIBLE RICH
STRIKE IS MAKE

Authentic information comes from
various sources to the effect that just
before last weeks temporary lay-off
of the greater part of the force at
the Mazuma Hills mine, what APP
pears to be the greatest ore dis
| covery in the history of the prop
| erty was made. Men who have re-
Gently visited the lower workings say
that the lower tunnel more than 600
| feet from the portal has entered a
| body of picture rock, the like of
| which challenges belief. A recent Wis
itor says that he saw the great strike
of couple of weeks ago and that ii
will not begin to compare with the
| latest strike.
In place of the five inches of rock
near the hanging wall fairly yellow
and glitteEing with gold are twelve
| inches of equally as rich material
| in the same position and that there
are now fully five or six feet of ore
that shows free gold all through it
AS an evidence of the substantial
nature of>this marvellous ore shoot ii
is reliably reported that with only a
force of two men here, three tons
have been taken out in day whose
value, If told, would not be believed
1t was stated by conservative men
that without exaggeration the two
men took out fortune in one day
last week. 1t is safe to say that with
its present insignificant force of two
! men the Mazuma Hills is making a
producing record that, were ii
known, would be the envy of the
widely known mines that are EN-.
ploying host of miners.
Steps toward the commencement
of work on the proposed Mazuma
Hills stamp mill advanced another
stage this week when the survey to
ascertain If it is feasible to tap the
| "otOi liAC lCuuAhS llOAl the lSdu vi
Burnt Canyon and divert the needed
water to the Mazuma Hills mine, was
completed The report shows that
the divide between Burnt Canyon and
Wild Horse Canyon, the next canyon
south, is not only much higher than
the divide between Wild Horse Can.
yon and Seven Troughs Canyon, but
that it is 460 feet higher than the
proposed millsite on the ground OF
the Mazuma Hills mine.
1t is believed that the effect of this
report will be the decision of the
company to erect it's mill on the
south slope of the prominent hill
on the north side of Seven Troughs
Canyon, which comprises its domain
but it is not yet known whether the
water for the mill will be diverted
from the Burnt Canyon Mazuma pipe
line on the divide or whether at som,
point near Mazuma.
The building of the mill at thu
mine, in doing away with the cost o
long ore haul, will enable the com
pany to mill much lower grade O
ore than it otherwise could. -Sever
