Wafer from the
IMiZpdh Shaft

The pumping of water from the
Mlzpah shaft during the past few
days has caused the lower part or
Main street to be a veritable mud
hole. When the attention of the com
pany was called to the damage the
water was doing to the street IL i'm
mediately placed a force of men At
work toward deviating the course of
the water and in a few days a fiume
will be finished that will take the
water to the gulch where the waste
from the Montana mill flows.
There was considerable comment
on the streets yesterday in an un-
kindly spirit toward the big mining
company for allowing the water to
flow on the streets. Few people
however, were aware that the com
pany is not compelled in any way TO
change the course of the water and
that it is doing it just as a matter Of
accommodation, where otherwise II
would cost the county quite a sum
of money.

Oil Prospects
in Blair Section

That oil in sufficient quantity to be
of commercial value will be found
in the Blair district is now an assur-
ed fact. The merry chug-chug of
gasoline engines can be heard half
way across the salt marsh and is in
dicative of the great activity at the
new oil city. The Bay State Oil
company is now down some 600 feet
with its well, and the drill is now
cutting through a blue oil shale, with
promising indications that oil of a
very high grade will Don be struck
in large quantity. Samples of the oil
taken from the well show that it is
a thin, free flowing oil with a paraf-
fine base-which is the highest and
most valuable type of petroleum.
While no flow of oil has as yet
been encountered, the constant flow
of natural gas, which can be ignited
at the mouth of the well but not yet
affording a steady flame, proves to
experienced oil drillers that oil is
close. Every time the baler is sent
down in the well to bring up dirt,
sand and water, the content is COW
cred with a thick coat of oil, and
when the can is allowed to settle for
a few moments the oil is seen to be
very plentiful.
There is something like ten COM
panies at work on the salt marsh
now, all of them having done their
location work according to legal re-
q%uirements, and all such locations
are duly recorded, so the claim jump
er can get no legal hold on the prop
critics when the field finally proves
to have oil in paying quantities.
OF the companies which have To-
Gated claims, the Blair Consolidated
Mining company is the largest, own
ing as it does, fifty full quarter sec
tions, or 5000 acres Of the choicest
ground adjoining the claim upon
which the Bay State company is do
ing the prospect work. The company
has Just been incorporated and 1t is
composed mostly of young men of
the Blair vicinity. Should oil be
struck by the Bay State. these young
men will have a bonanza In their
properties.
The Bay State company is owner of
the Oil City townsite and maps are
already in evidence. Several lots
have been sold and a few houses are
already constructed. The public
should be advised, however, that the
time for a general influx has not ar
rived, despite the glowing reports
originating from certain Goldfeld
sources and the general impression
given out that the district is already
proven, and that Goldfeld is the best
point from which to start. Goldheld
is twenty miles from the salt marsh,
while It is but eight miles from Blair,
by the old road around the salt
marsh. Since the oil discovery en-
terprising business men of Blair have
completed a road across the salt
marsh that makes the distance from
Oil City to Blair only three miles.
Thus Blair will be the railroad ter
minus for the new vfi field.
Samples of the oil are on display
in practically all the business houses
of Blair, and it is certainly of fine
quality. The people of that section
are looking forward to the time when
the well of the Bay State company
will develop into a "gusher," and
then the word will be passed out
that 1t is time to come to the new oil

:. For snch a life

For such a life,
How far from here to heaven?
Not very far my friend;
A single hearty step
Will all the journey end
IF he was your kinsman, friend or
neighbor, oil my klnsman, friend or
neighbor, and a brother in our noble
order, we would hold this hour sac
red to his memory; and grief yawn-
ing wound, be it old or fresh, has
much to comfort and assuage it.
IF he laid down with the white
majesty of years upon his venerable
head, and the mark of a great service
or high exploit upon his brow, we
would rejoice; for he was Gods per-
fected craftsmanship.
"If he faltered in the bright mid
day of life and love and labor, in a
seeming tragedy of broken hearts,
sundered fellowships and blighted
enterprise, yet may we be comforted.
Infinite grace may have marked his
course; or some degree of unseen
strength attained. which fulfilled to
the brim all the purposes of his life
among us, and gave him passport 10
higher offices. In the intellectual
life, how slothful it is to pause in
stead of progress; to rust instead of
glisten with new ~endeavor; to dawdle
in fields of thought which have been
thoroughly exploited, instead Of plod.
ding on to find fresh soil. Why moi
the same in the spiritual life? When
the spirits development has been
rounded out on earth, even though
the years be few, why remain here,
when there unfolds before us the
great altar stairs that slope through
darkness up to God, summoning us
to our advanced degrees?
Whether we be eclipsed in the
crescent, or sink full-orbed into the
sunset sea; whether our years be few
or many-what does it signify?
The oak natures slowly through
the long, long years, and then. in
season, returns to the earth that gave
it. The rose blooms In the night and
fades with the day. Yet each life is

may be palsied and our substance
consumed. A blight may come from
our fatherland; old landmarks be de-
stroyed, and s~tatecraft confused.
Men may be at each others Threats,
and the patriot concerned for the
morrow of the republic. The earth
may reel beneath our feet, and the
old homestead vanish in red ruin.
Grief may scar our hearts with
white-hot pain, and humiliation scald
our cheeks with kissing tears. Calam-
ity may claim us for it's very own; it
may bite to the bone and cut to the
brain; 1t may leave us stripped, DESC
late and hopeless as the mad old king
on the storm-tossed shore in Britain.
Yet, there is a part of each of us that
is beyond the reach of wreck, con-
hict, disaster and decay.
" But IL, the human standing at
bay,
Who am not told Gods secrets; who
learn
And unlearn in sweat and tears,
| it is who feel the hoof-beats of the
years
Trampling out of my bosom
It's very heart-down to the dust.
Yet from this dust / arise,
| arise and go to God,
And ask again my eternal questions;
And though he answers me naught,
Though he leaves me to suffer
Me, a part of Him
To suffer alone and apart from Him,
He gives me somehow, somewhere, to
know
That, though the hoof-beats of the
years
Beat out my heart from my Bosom,
Down, down to the dust,
Yet they can not kill my soul
The fame-like %exuberant soul that
He made
And sowed with the seed of His
Nor cut it off forever from Him.
Many high aims and aspirations
may challenge the minds of men here
on earth: The amelioration of physi-
cal pain; the development and i'm
provement of political institutions
and instrumentalities of government;
the growth of civil and criminal law;
the nurture of new vegetable forms;
the conquest of the air; the blossom
ing of the desert; the determination
of the locus of the magnetic pole;
the breeding of the sturdier infancy;
the search for the typhus germ; the
rectification of our commercial ethics.
These and many other great human
concerns engross the profoundest
thought and the noblest endeavor of
the race. But if, as we believe, there
be a life after this, may we not
pause; pause to contemplate its pos
sibilities and give heed to our prepar-
alton for its realities? If we shall
see the great Law Giver VINO brought
the tablets out Of Sinai; II we shall
meet him who built the temple of
Israel; If we shall walk and talk with
Marcus Aurelius; hear Paul preach
and Virgil sing; if, in some sentient
form or aspect in the spiritual life,
We shall consort with the strong son
of God, who once trod this old earth
as we do now. and shall grow with
them, and with those we loved here,
and do our allotted work IN TIE full
fllment of the divine plan through
all eternity, and know no end Of time
then the sorrows of earth are but
the fragments of our preparation,
and these memorials are but little
milestones along the path that leads
to the pastures green and besides the
still waters of peace"

perfect; each destiny fulfilled; each
an essential factor in the worlds
work; each submissive to the will of
its Creator, and each the product of
earth's greatest forces.
" What does it take to make a rose,
Mother mine?

80 with our lives. Some are oak.
Some are rose
Some go like our veteran jurist,
Hawley, full of years. Great oak of
justice. His faultless life and lofty
services forever monumental in the
imperishable records of our federal
judiciary.

friend and n~eighbor to all of us
chief magistrate of Nevada-cut
down in the midst of his services to
the state, ere the three-score-and-ten
stone was tailed or the twilight shad-
ows had heightened. Hail to you,
John Sparks!-and to all your rug
ged race of swiftly passing pioneers!
Your shaggy shapes seem to sill
houette the sunset skyline a short
space, then shift from sight and are
seen no more. Hail to you, sturdy,
gentle son of the west! You lived
to see fulfilled the dream of your
gray mother, the desert:
90 am the desert; barren since time
began;
Yet do I dream of motherhood, when
man
One day at last will look upon my
charms,
And give me cities, like children, to
my arms
Some go like Lear's faithful
daughter, Cordelia, in the zenith Of
youth and beauty, shattering the last
silken cord of her aged fathers life.
If it be your daughter or sister, shall
we dare lament that she was young?
Do we know that her life may be old
old as truth and as perfect as the
sunlight? There may have been only
n flaw in the diamond of her soul,
took but this short life to wear away
the mar. Our Man of Sorrow died
young; yet his life was complete; and
it will take the unrolled scroll of
human history to measure the stretch
of his life's influence.
And some there be that like the
rose. If it be a toddling manchild,
some faithful little copy of his sire;
or the bright beauty of a mother in
a little maid lisping prayers at her
knee, holding out heart strings in
their tiny clutch-then in truth,
there be scant comfort for us, save
that we know they are of the very
kingdom of God.
Our young and our old-we trust
that they live with Thee, oh thou
Grand Exalted Ruler of the Uni
verse; and there we find them worth
Ter to be loved.
The silent forces of nature, which
reach up out of the darkness and lay
their moulding hands upon the sons
of men, are not more real than the
unseen Sentinel who whispers into
the hearts of men: "AIl's well with
the SOUL
And all is well. The light of your
life and mine may be turned to
gloom, and their sweetness be ex-
hausted to the dregs. Our strength

SPEECH OF HUGH BROWN
AT ELk'S LODGE OF SORROW

Tread the b~order-land dim
'Twixt vice and virtue
This was thy work,
This was thy life upon earth
When such souls pass from oul
view they blaze a broad trail far out
into the uncharted dark, and the
radiance of their lives abides with us
like the light of a great star, still
travelling through space long after il
has been snuffed out in its planetary
orbit.
IF that other fundamental rule OF
the universe-the law of growth-be
likewise the law of the after life; if,
instead of being made perfect in the
twinkling OF an eye, we shall attain
knowledge, power and purity through
other stages of time, then immortal
ity begins here. He who verify has
woven into his character the primary
tenets of Elkdom, and has striven to
lift his life to the highest levels of
the fraternity's aims and aspirations;
who has been Just to his fellows;
who has loved his neighbor; who has
practiced charity; and sent far out
into the world the warm rays of a
soul saturated with sunshine-he has
already thrust the roots of his life
down deep into the soil of immortal
ity, and equipped his spirit for the
practices of the life to come.
He is the man who has lived his
day and served his brief hour,
whether he be an humble fisherman
by the sea, or an inspired teacher
and moulder of men. Even though
he came but yesterday and be gone
today, yet he found the present long
enough to lend a helping hand, to
speak the kindly word, to scatter
flowers along the road, to sing and
not whine under the burden on his
shoulders. The skies were bluest the
day he lived, and the sod at his feet
was to him the dearest spot in all the
world, He 'reverenced his conscience
as his king; spoke no SANDER; no,
nor listened to it; loved one only, and
clave to her. The habit of kindness
radiafod from hfc POGO opd tbo r,,eso
in his heart was an anthem, not a
dirge. When men cursed, he breath
ed a prayer, the prayer of the strong:
Help me to need no aid of men, that
| may help such men as need. Mems
virtues stamped themselves upon the
tablets Of his memory in triple brass;
their faults he marked in the dust
with a frail reed, and passed on, for
getting. Grief touched on his jour
ney, so that he might know the bur
den of a friends hour of gloom, and
with the sadness of Lincoln in his eye
might say to him, All, my friend, 1
know. His flesh unsullied and his
soul unfagged, glad did he live, and
gladly die, and lay him down with a
will; and, as a great secretary of
state said of his PROSTATE chief,
Showed in his life how a citizen
should live, and in his last hour
taught us how a gentleman could
die
