rWo 1MPoRTANT DEALS

Two very important deals were con-
summated in Goldfeld yesterday in
leasing circles.
Chas. A. Stoneham, a New York
f%nancier, dropped into town on the
morning train and within an hour he
had arranged terms for the financing
of the Moore lease and the Mitchell Il
Fairfield leases on the Combination.
The wires were gotten busy and an
hour or two later large sums were de-
posted in New York banks to the
credit of these leases. Work will now
be actively pushed on both properties.

SILVER PEAK Is
A HEAVY PRODUCER

Editor Mix of the Blair Press visited
Goldfeld this week. He reports that
the 1OO-stamp mill of the Pittsburg-
Silver Peak is working full capacity
and that the cleanup for April was
about 100000. The saving was close
to 90 per cent. The ore is now aver
aging $40 a ton and the noble metals
are in a ratio of 100 ounces of gold
to one of silver.
On the Valcalda, the 'Meara
property which Samuel Newhouse is
said to have under bond, the ratio is
five ounces of gold to one of silver. A
new filter press is being installed.
VIM. Finn. president of the company;
George t. Oliver, vice president, and a
party Of twelve stockholders, have ar,
rived from Chicago by special ear.

Pacific lines to Huxley, where three
stage lines and one automobile route
are in commission to transport passcn
gers twelve miles to the new camp. The
first discovery was made last November,
but II is only within the past few weeks
that the district has received much at
t~ention.
Bovard, which is, perhaps, the young.
eat candidate for the attention of tie
wealth seekers, is situate a dozen miles
TO the south of Rawhide, and has grown
to a prosperous community of nearly
LOCO people within two weeks. Its Iu-
habitants are principally from Rawhide,
but some have been attracted from
points farther away. Some very rich
strikes have already been made. and
the systematic prospecting now ocin2
undertaken will doubtless lead to furth
er finds. .
The new copper camp of Rel Butte
lies f~orty-six miles north of ~Aumhpldt,
New, and is reached by a regular stage
line from that point. The Western
Pacific is now building within fourteen
miles of the district. High values
have been found in copper, gold, silver

A Prosperous Year
With tho extension Of the known
mineral. bearing areas - Nevada, there
appears to be every reason to believe
that the present year will be tho most
prolific in general results in its whole
history. Goldfeld has finally settled
her labor troubles upon a permanent
basis, and the developments of the past
few months seem to presage the return
Of prosperous times, ever more notice
able than those which preceded the
trouble. Tonopah, too, is rewarding the
faith Of those who have worked stead
lily in face of the encouragement which
came with the v~ein-breaks at tho GOO
foot levels. Taking all these facts into
consideration, it is generally believed
that Nevada is on the eve Of the great
est mining excitement Of her exciting
history.

party of tourists from New York when
making a trip in a motor car through the en-

upon unexpected scene 1t was the christen-
ing of a baby at the little village of Les
Molieres, near Sevres. As the American visit

they were invited to take part in the Ger, mony
which different from anything of the kind
to be met with at home The following de-
scription of the odd function, related by Young
American woman, gives a good notion of how
such matters are arranged in France.
Pere Sincet is the richest peasant in Les
Molieres. His neat little house has floors Of
polished elm His garden is the biggest and
brightest in the district, not excepting that of
the cure. Pere Sincet had mentioned casually
in the village cafe that his wife was going to
bring up his sons baby. Young Sincet the
baby's father, kept a sausage shop in Sevres,
which he was about to sell fortnight hence.
and owing to this the christening was fixed for
the following Thursday, a day which with
young folk in France is a half holiday In
the week that preceded the ceremony the busi-
est persons in the village were Mere Sincet,
the babys grandmother. and her neShbor the
mother of the godfather At a French christen-
ing the leading role is that of the godfather,

Catching a Bride.

Among certain Siberians the bride
groom is not permitted to have wife
until he can catch her. But they do
not give him fair race in the open.
The bride, surrounded by her female
friends, awaits him in big tent. AS
soon as she sees him she runs off.
He follows like Hippomenes after Alta
lanta. But instead of obstacles being
thrown in the way Of the bride they
are thrown across the path Of the
bridegroom. The pursuing groom falls
over old women, chairs, tables. stones
and fishing rods or is tripped up by
ropes. Only when 1t IS feared he
might give up and sulk and go away
without the feeting lady is he permit
ted to oYertake her. Then as she falls
into his outstretched arms It may be
imagined she utters some equivalent

trivial Cause Of a Bloody War.

In the year 1854 Polish nobleman
became obnoxious to the laws Of his
country by reason of his having COM
mitted crime. He fed to Sweden.
whereupon John Casimir, king Of Po-
land, wrote to Charles Gustavus, king
of Sweden, demanding the surrender Of
the criminal. The king Of Sweden on
reading the dispatch noticed that his
own name and titles were followed by
two set ceteras," while the name OF
the king of Poland was followed by
three. The missing. 'et cetera" SO en-
ragged the king Of Sweden that he at
once declared war against Poland.
The war was carried on with great bit
terness until 1860, when a peace was
signed at OLIVIA. near Danzig. A con-
temporary writer (Kochowsky) poured
out his lamentations on the war in
these terms: "How dear has this let

lives have these two potentates paid

toe nails Of human beings or of ami.
mails having toes. The horn Of a hoof
grows just as toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly in unshed
horses than in those wearing shoes,
and It grows faster in horses which
are well groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about a
third Of an inch month. Hind hoofa
grow faster. than fore hoofs. The toe
of tho hoofs being the longest part, II
takes longer for the horn t. grew

In from eleven to thirteen months

A Substitute.

had gone out to service before and
had had scarcely any experience as a
cook, appeared to be willing and in
dustrious and was quick to learn. In
view Of her inexperience she had read
lily agreed to work for $3.50 a week.
Mrs. Millsap, who was an expert cook
had taken much pains with her edu-
cation in that line, and at the end Of
five or six weeks Jemima was equal to
any demands upon her in the line of
kitchen work. The mistress was
greatly surprised, therefore, when the
maid one morning gave her weeks
notice.

she asked. Haven't I treated you
fairly?"

an attendant at the public library.
GAS rule, when you see man go to

where other people are around you'n
see him look about furtfvely as IL In
fear somebody might see him. Men
who make no pretensions at having
any great amount Of knowledge never
theless seem to be embarrassed to
have any one think that they do not
know the pronunciation or meaning of
some English word. The next time
you see a man looking up a word in
the dictionary just ask him what it is
he is looking up and see IL he will tell
you. You'll find in at least nine cases
out of ten that: he won't tell you. He's

did not think to return it for several

It with letter, saying, my Dear
