Lincoln County Zinc

a writer tells an interesting story of
the discovery of zinc in the southern
part of Lincoln county, 45 miles south
west of Las Vegas. The metal comes
in the form of a zinc carbonate. AS
illustrative of the limitations of ordi-
nary discernment, the true character
of these great deposits was unknown
until about two years ago For the
past 20 years this locality has been
priced for its lead. Though far re-
moved from railroad and smelling
facilities, this metal has baen mined
and the best of it shipped, in fitful
way, ever since 1893. Accompanying
this lead were extensive dykes of a
light, brittle, yellow colored material
that was contemptuously flung over the
dump as worthless ledge matter or
casing" until some restless fellow
took the pains to have it analysed. II
reminded him of something he had
seen in Mexico. The returns showed a
large percentage of zinc Then every.
body. got busy sending away samples,
and it was soon found that Good
Springs had ten tons of zinc TO one ton
of lead.

The Swiss republic, with various
changes, has survived from the year
1908. though its present constitution
dates only, from 1874. 1t now embraces
three .nationalities-Germ French
and italian. The original nucleus of
the state, however, was German, and
even now considerably more than half
the population is German. Federated
under the constitution of 1874 are
twenty -two distinct states.

REGULATE SCHOOLS
TRYING TO SYsTEMATIZE COYNTY s HIGH SCHOOLS. t f
rworts Are CompIIcated to Get New SehOOIs Started and So Far None Have Drawn State
 Fun0.

Indications come to. the Department of Education and the Governor almost daily that county high schools are opening with rush.
 On his return from the East Govern or Conner, devoted some of his ipne- diate attention to the high school bus. mess. There are said to be an hunu- red and one details incident to opening the high schools. The system Is de- cided step forward in the educational ranks of the State. but it must be ackno nowledRed that 1t has yet to be re- duced to system before the machinery is in working order.
 As soon as 1t Is incorporated in the public school system of the State the high school of the country will stick. It is a happy middle ground between the common schools and the colleges.
 Chief Clerk W. F. Feagin, of the State Department, is preparing to re- duce the administration of the country high schools to the regularity of the other common schools of the State There will be more time for routine ad- ministration when they all get a start in the counties. Just at present the efforts to get started are complicated and tax the brains of State authorlties as well as local boards of education It is a slow process, too, such. as ap proving the bonds of the citizens hid ing for the location, verifying title tc the property given in consideration oi the location, giving abstracts ot the deeds to the five acre lots, and other performs neea.

Baltimore, Oct. 9.-(Special.)-Pos 9. abilities in rice growing as contri- butor to the wealth of the South, are suggested in correspondence from Houston. Tex, in this weeks issue of The Manufacturers Record.
 Within the past twenty years, the revolution. centering about Crowley, La, in methods of rice culture. has transferred the center of that culture from the Atlantic seaboard of the South to Louisiana and Texas.
 In the past eight years, the acreage in Texas devoted to. rice, according to the Houston correspondence. has in. creased from 10000 to 245,00. and this conversion of the raw prairies into rice fields by means of irrigation repre- sents a total investment of $24,lS5,- sSO divided as follows: Canals and pumping plants, $s,773.2s0; lands and Improvements. t12,216.600 and live stock and implements. $2196,o00 To plant the acreage and to operate the irrigation plants requires an outlay each year of $3,909,312 and from the total investment there Is a gross aIi- nual return of about $s,O00.0oe. More than 625000 acres in nine Southern States yield annually between $l6.0O0,- 900 and l7,OO0 ,000 in, rice.

kabtr Is. after the Mosque. the most remarkable sight in Cordova. Origin ally erected by the Romans. it's sixteen arches still remain on their ancient foundations. and connect the town with It's suburb. From the middle of the bridge there Is fine view of the old Moorish water-miils and of the Mosque which, with its lofty tower and belfry. is clearly projected against background of the blue sierras. On the end of the bridge farthest from the town Is the famous and massive Gala horra gateway. at the beginning of the road to Seville. The bridge was Hest CTS constant resort, and when return ing from the daily drive she invariably descended and crossed 1t on foot. It was rugged, ancient, and commanded a panorama of the winding river and the water mills, precisely as they had been in the time of the Saracens.
 One evening at sunset, Hester and Captain Tudor were leaning over the parapet together. watching people fish ing in the silent. gleaming Guadal- quivir. and arguing about the Spanish character. He was attacking, she re- sisting and defending.
 You won't deny that they are in- dolent, false and vain.' he said. in order to draw her; simply hidebound In customs of the dark ages.'
 "Oh, grant you they are conserva- tive.", she answered, and indolent-it is the Oriental climate; but they are not vain. only self-appreciative; and why not? Look at their history and their great deeds Think of the days of Isabella and Columbus
 aDeeds! yes. of their forefathers. They are living on their past, like some painted old celebrity, or bear on his paws"
 They are all gentlemen" she con- tinued. "even the very beggars.'
 T give in to one thing" said her companion; they are fine horsemen. and this is the country for horses. I rather want to pick up nag to talk e to Gib; for from Andalusia, most of the cavalry are mounted, I believe some of the nobility and gentry own im- mense horse farms right up in the hills; a Spaniard likes a good horse"
 Though he often treats 1t as if he hated it," she supplemented.
 Yes. so he does." agreed Captain Tudor. Did you notice the splendid turns-out in Madrid when you were there? A Madrilena would sooner go without her shoes than her carriage"
 Oh. I'd much prefer the shoes. I was never born to run barefoot-and think of the cobble-stones."
 "But carriage conveys dignity and position. I believe Spanish lady rarely puts her foot to the ground outside of her own house. The men ride and. to give the beggars their due. they can sit a horse. Have you noticed thepa?"
 'I must confess have not"
 "I suppose you don't ride yourself, do you?" he asked, as If struck by a sudden tn ought.
 '.No, I've never been on the back of any animal except a donkey"
 "Well, they take good bit of riding sometimes"

 "oh, well, as a light burst upon him, T dare say you know all about it"
 Miss Forde was an extraordinary weil-informed girl; she had antiquities and Spanish history at her fingers ends No. doubt she was cof1nois- seur in old pictures. and had hit upon good thing.
 His respect for the heiress was sen sibIy increased. and he made no further rennonstrance. ~
 The two old ladies were vastly in- terested when, over the dinner table, the story of the interview and the purchase was related.
 T know Hester has bought it for charity" said her chaperon. She cam not bear to see starvation, and threw all her lunch out of the window to a wretched dog the day1we, travelled here."s t-s'.f ,t~
 Dear Mrs. Tudor. you never. never will forget that" protested Hester. with a laugh. Five hundred pesetas had been transmitted to the Casa Que prada as a deposit until arrangements for a cheque could be settled. The poor people must have money at once said Hester to Marietta, who despatch ed the courier. Ills face was eloquent of horror when he heard. of the trans action. and the outlay without his sanction.
 By the time dinner. was over. the painting had arrived. and. was immedi- ately brought up into the drawing room. and there placed on exhibition. ,"Yes, it is certainly fine thing. said Mrs. Tudor, examining 1t through her ptnee-nez: "one of the Quebrada ancestors. They are descended from the oldest families in Andalusia." Now let me have a glimpse. my dear." said Dona Luisa, coming for ward and putting on her spectacles. "I believe 1t is good old picture. and should say valuab1e--pessibly Juan de valdes He painted many of the nobility here: but'-standins a little back-'it has a look of some one know!

 You must learn to ride at once" he said straightening himself with an air of decision, land I shall be delighted to teach you. If you have 1t In you, you'll ride in week.
 Pray, how and when am to learn?" she asked with smile; "up and down the Calle de la Plata on one of the huge carriage horses-the shy ing one for choice?"
 You are not bound to return by certain day and hour to Biarritz, are you?'
 No; and. honestly, I don't very much mind if I never see Biarritz again, was her unexpected reply.
 All right. then; you cannot leave Spain without doing Seville. sup pose you will allow that? You'n be jolly we'll laughed at if you do. Not that I care for Seville myself. I'd rather see good race. than forty old cathedrais. Still. you know every one will say to you: Well, what did you think of Sevil1e?
 T should describe 1t from Baedeker,pp she answered with composure.
 You could not be such a sneak. and you'd certainly be found out Now, listen! Cordova is only four hours run from Seville; when you're at Seville you may say you're at Ronda. From Ronda you just drop down to Gib. Dye see?'
 Yes, it all sounds delightfully simple"
 You will see the Fleet and English garrison, the Rock-lots of things I'd take you and Aunt Laura all round, and give you a rattling good time. We might even run over to Tangiers.
