-Four and forty years she's waited,
Sitting in her cabin door,
For the lad who went to battle
With the brave Confederate corps;
Still she's sitting, watching, waiting

Lo, these four and forty years.
Two and twenty when he left her,
Six and sixty now, and gray,
Still she's sitting, watching, waiting,
For the lad who went away;
In her cabin door she fingers,
Gazing down the lonely lane,
Over which he marched to battle,
Never to return again.
Down the lane where oft they'd wan
dered,
Watched the rising harvest moon,
Meath the apple blossoms swinging
Fragrant with the breath of June;
Where the bees hung on the clover,
Sang the linnet and the thrush,
Where the mocking-bi and robin
Nested in the alder-bush.
Down the lane where they had plighted
-Four and forty years a-gone,
Each to each lovers largess,
Watches now his coming home
Thinks him still not dead, but missing" Z"
Waits expectantly each day
For the lad to come and claim her,
Waits the lad who went away
Somewhere in the land of flowers,
Just beyond the gate of tears,

White now with the snow of years;
And the time cannot be distant
When she'll cross the harbor shoals.
Meet him waiting at Heavens doorway,
Where they keep no missing" rolls.

MYSTERIES OF BIRD MIGRATION

A recent writer in the Youths Com
panion alludes to the case of the mys-
terious migration of the chimney swifts,
who go nobody knows where for FIVE
months of the year. In the autumn their
movements can be followed until the
various bands gather into one on the
north coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Sud-
denly one day they are found to have
disappeared, and in the spring they re-
appear as mysteriously.
Many birds undertake very long mi
grations whose extent can be traced.
The night-hawk is said to have a sum
mer home in Alaska and winter home
in Argentina, travelled the 1000 miles
twice ayear. The plover has been founC
in June in the ''barren grounds" of the
Artic Circle as far north as latitude 81
degrees, where it rears its young ir
the moss. In August it goes to Labra
dor for the crowberry, and then to the
Antilles. After this again it strike.

ern Argentina and Patagonia, later OF
going back to the Artic.
The same writer has note of the in
explicable phenomena of the red-eyec
vireo. The bird winters in Centra
America and appears each spring a

miles day, as far as Nebraska. Blu
then suddenly in twenty-four hour
numbers of the birds appear in British
Columbia, a thousand miles away. =

An electric iron without electric cur
rent is like a man without, ambition;
not worth cent. That's the difference
in men. Some are connected to the
source of supply and are full of love
and kindness and friendship and force.
Others are in the scrap heap for sale
as old iron, and some are not even fol
sale. There are conceited flatirons who
think they can work without heat
They are like men without an hones
impulse in their hearts. But, mind you,
the iron must be properly directet
after it is heated, for an over zealou
pin head is a dangerous piece of work

LORD, TEACH US TO FORGIVE.

Much injustice we are made to suffer,
Made to suffer while we live;
And on our bended knees we pray:
Lord, teach us to forgive!"
At first our lips only lisp it,
Our hearts are torn in twain;
We cry aloud to Heaven above:
Why are we made to suffer such pain?
The answer comes from our Father
1t is His holy will,
And the storm passes onward from us
Whilst Christ whispers, ''Peace be
still?'
Father forgive them;
They know not what they do!
Our hearts now have learned to say it,
Have been taught to say it by You!

Alameda Highs Football Team
Defeat Oakland Eleven by
Score of 38 to o

Alameda high school won an easy
victory over Oakland at Alameda rec
reation park yesterday afternoon by a
championship of the central subleague
of the Academic athletic league and
attaining the right to compete in the
semifnals for first honorS.
Alameda was. too heavy and fast for
their opponents. One back after an
other would plow through the Oakland
line. battering it SO that toward the
merely fall in front of Graft and Kiser
in the efforts to stop them.
Three touchdowns were made by Ala
media in the first half, the first one by
the next two being scored by Graft.
Kiser failed to kick the goals. In the
early part of this half Calderwood of
Oakland was ruled off for rough tactics.
Bangs was moved from quarter to half.

The second half found Oakland still
fighting but hopelessly outclassed-
They started out with a little squirt,
kickoff, but this speed was only mo-
mentary, for the ball was soon taken
away and the procession again started
with 10 to Is yard bucks by Kiser,
downs were made and three goals
kicked. Hartwell took Peterson's place
at full, the latter having hurt himself
quite severely.
The feature of the game was the
great work of the Alameda backs.
Graft made one so yard run in the first
half for a touchdown and later one of

credit for the manner in which he
handled his team.

WAS GOING TO
ARREST RICKEY
Judge O'Brien Paving the Way for the Ar
rest of 7. B. Hickey When Stayed by
Order of the Supreme Court.

Friday morning was the time sci
for Thomas B. Hickey, of State Bank
and Trust company notoriety, to ap-
pear in the court of Judge O'Brien to
enter his plea. Hickey did not make
an appearance, and as Judge O'Brien
was preparing bench warrant for
the arrest of the embezzling bank
president, he received a wire from
the supreme court, staying all pro-
ceedings.
Hickey, it will be remembered, APP
piled for writ of habeas corpus at
Carson City, and the arguments were
completed Tuesday. The attorneys
for the state were given ten days in
which to file their briefs, and the at
torneys for Hickey fifteen days after
the filing of these briefs. According
to this the matter can not be turned
over to the supreme court for de-
cision inside of twenty-five days, and
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-10-10

in the meantime Thomas Hickey will
be free from legal procedure.
Judge O'Brien stated yesterday
that he was prepared to ignore the
habeas corpus proceedings issued by
Hickey, and was going to have him
arrested on bench warrant and pro-
ceeding with the hearing in his court.
This would have "passed the buck"
directly up to the supreme court of
the state and forced it into some i'm
mediate expression as to the legality
of the proceedings against Hickey.
Judge O'Brien is of the opinion that
there has been entirely too much red
tape connected with the Hickey bust
ness. While his judicial position did
not admit of his saying SO much, it
is plan that he shares the opinion of
the majority of the legal fraternity
that rich criminal, by invoking all
the safeguards of the law, can avoid
final trial entirely too long.

BONANZA
STRIKE REPORTED

RHYoLITE, Oct. 9.-Jack Log
land, who is leasing on the National
Bank, is getting some bonanza ore in
the stope on the east drift. A sample
assayed by N. M. Simons gave a re-
turn of $2008 to the ton in gold.
The rich streak carries width OF
about six inches. While this entire
width will not yield return equal to
the sample, it will give a good ship
ping average. Mr.. Logland's returns
from the ore treated at the Shoshone
mill so far have been satisfactory, his
first grade running in the vicinity of
5000 a ton.
: McVicar and Stewart, leasing on
the Bullfrog Mining ground on Ladd
mountain, are also getting good ship
ping ore, and they will send out a
consignment in short time.

closed. Here the company began
stopping. One shipment of ore that
ran better than $165 per ton was
then out and then drifting was con-
tinued. Water was again struck and
further work in that direction had to
cease. A forty-horse power engine,
Cameron pump and five-drill air
compressor were ordered and in the
meantime stopping was again begun.
1t was at this point that the strike
was made. The vein is fully four
feet wide and in it the values range
from $50 per ton up to $125,0OO.
The general average, leaving out of
account the rich streak, is 5000 per
ton.
The ore shoot is from eighteen
inches to two and one-half feet wide
with a stringer about two inches
wide that carries fabulous value. One
specimen that weighed fifteen pounds
and that is almost solid gold is now
on exhibition at the Hotel Mazuma.
Ten sacks of this phenomenal ore
have been taken out. Today sacking
was stopped in order to timber. The
company has its ore bins full of ore
that will go better than 5000 and is
only awaiting the use of the Kinder
garten mill to begin a run.
The machinery ordered is now due
at the railroad and with it operating
work on the shaft will be resumed.
The shaft will be continued to 600
feet before drifts are again run. The
vein will be followed throughout the
entire distance as it has been SO far.

We're thrown open for the first time
Friday afternoon. Democratic head
quarters are located in the basement
of the Tonopah Club, and the spac-
ious room has every convenience for
political work. The whole room is
gay with flags and bunting, and large
pictures of William j. Bryan and
John w. Kern, the head of the DEM
ocratic national ticket, are con-
spiciously displayed Desks. tables
and chairs are placed aho',t the
room, so that any kind of hsiness
can be carried on, whether it be
business caucus, letter writing, or
any Of the numerous kinds of jobs
which turn up during campaign.
It is said on good authority that.
the headquarters are the most ele-
giant occupied for campaign purposes
by any party in any other section Of
the state
Tonight there will be formal
opening of the headquarters. There
will be cigars a-plenty-the affair
given the cognomen of smoker
and of course local spell-binders Will
weave their spells and make the
usual happy predictions as to party
Succession be the Democrats moth
ing else, they are optimists to man.
Then there will be some music,
monologue stunts and buck and wing
dancing by couple of negro artists
The affair promises to be one from
which history will date.

Claims Richest
Strike in State

BY special permission of John B..
Newman, president of the Wihuja
Gold Mines company, we had the
privilege of visiting what we believe
to be the greatest strike in Nevada,
says the editor of the Seven Troughs
District News.
We were taken by way of the cork
screw shaft to the 265-foot level at
which station is being loaded daily,
ore whose value would hardly be be-
lieved If mentioned in these columns
From this point we walked west for
a distance of about 100 feet where
we beheld such vision as must be
seen to be believed. Hitherto we
have studiously avoided such ex.
pressions as ''veritable jewel boxes"
treasure vaults" and the like, but
after our experience this afternoon
we confess that our vocabulary is too
Limited to express the sight which
met our view. There seemed to be
gold everywhere. A candle held to
the vein at almost any point revealed
whole masses of the precious metal.
A two-inch streak runs $125,OOO to
the ton
The company took over the Stoker
lease in January. Continuing the
shaft already sunk, to depth of 375
feet the management encountered
water that necessitated pumps or de-
velopment farther UP. The latter
course was chosen and a drift was
started at the 265-foot level. At
ninety-seven feet the ledge was dis
