PROMINENT VISITORS
AT MASON TOWNS|TE
They Have Many Things i'm View for the
Greater Development of the
Yerington District

On last Tuesday special car with
George Gum, w. B. Thompson and
wife and lady guest, and Messrs. Al
drich. Mitchell and Mcconnell OH
board, arrived at Wabuska. The party
came over to Yerington in couple of
autos the next morning and then went
on to Mason, their objective point.
They spent Wednesday and part of
Thursday inspecting the Mason Valley
mine and the Mason townsite and the
work being done there and then took a
trip over the surrounding country.
Their time was fully taken up in looking
over various projects and prospective in
yestments in the valley.
Messrs. Gum and Thompson are the
main men in the Mason Valley mines
and the townsite. Mr.. Aldrich is a
smelter manager from British Columbia,
Mr.. Mitchell is an attorney from Ely,
and Mr.. Mcconnell is manager OF the
Ely City townsite. When the various
positions held by the members OF the
party is considered, it looks as if they
intended doing something of more than
usual magnitude very soon. The own
ers of this splendid property smeter
man, an attorney and townsite mana
complete combination to project great
things. And it is needless to say that
the people in and around Mason expect
big things from the visit.

YER|NCTON REPORT

]. c. Dick, general superintend-
ent OF the Yampa Smelling COM
pany, is back from Yerington,
where he placed force of men at
work on the Revenue property 10
finish the assessment work for the
current year. Mr.. Dick states that
the Yerington country is more ac-
tive than it has ever been, the
necessity for assessment work
bringing out companies into activ-
ity that have done nothing for
year or more. This assessment
work in so many places is bound
to give results that will add gre atly
to the general attractiveness oi the
camp.
One significant item picked up
in the camp by Mr.. Dick was the
statement from one close to the
company that the Bluestone smelt-
ing project is not being over
looked by any means, and smelt-
ef for this company seems now an
assured fact, and within a short
time. The Bluestone company
has completed some extremely
gratifying tests on its ores, and
knows exactly the kind of smelter
which will be required to treat the
tonnage now in blocked form.
Mr.. Dick did not get to go un
derground at the Mason Valley,
but from so many sources he heard
facts about this copper mine that
demonstrates this to be splendid
proposition. The Nevada Doug
las, likewise. Mr.. Dick considers
one of the record copper mines of
Nevada. Before leaving Nevada
for Salt Lake, Mr.. Dick paid a
visit to the Rawhide district.
and he stated in an interview
that Rawhide, in his opinion,
eventually will make large mill
ing district.-Salt Lake Tribune.

The Hard Times Ball.

The Hard Times Ball given last
night by the Yerington CONNER
cial Club was success in every
way. The crowd was large, the
floor was in fine shape, the music
furnished by an orchestra of good
musicians was up to the standard
and the dancers, old and young,
came with the intention of having
a good time.
Children have been in evidence
more or less at most of the dances
given in Yerington but never has
their pleasure been featured as it
was last night. The old folks also
had chance to get in some old
time steps and they took advant-
age of the opportunity and en-
joyed themselves.
1t is hoped that the Club will
give a few more dances this win
ter if last nights dance is SAM
pie of the good time its dances will
always furnish.
The floor director, Mr.. E. S.
Mayfeld, assisted by Messrs. G
+. West, N. H. Van Alstine, ]. F,
Mckay, +. M. Hammond, c. w
Gallagher and T. L. Hoppin de.
serve credit for their efforts in see
ing that all had plenty of dancing
and a good time.

All the members of the party were
the Ely men as we'll as the smelter man
were positive i'll their statements as to
the future greatness of the Yerington
district as copper producer of magni-
tude. Coming from men who have
watched and helped make the Ely camp,
this has a weight that could not be ac-
corded persons less fully informed
Those of the party who had not visited
our great section before were very much
surprised at the diversified products of
this section and said that our future
would be great from any point of view
They were sorry that they lid not have
more time to look over the valley more
carefully, as the weather is better than
summer and auto trips "a pleasure and
delight, as one Of the party stated it
An interview with Manager Kidder
elected no specific information except
that the work OF putting up their new
residences, the new big Office and hotel
building and the installing Of the water
works would go on briskly. He prom
ised to take the Times into his conf
dence, however, as soon as any new
plan was decided upon We shall, there
fore be able to give all the news as to
the doings in this project as soon as it is
ready to be given to the public.
The visiting party left in their special
car from Wabuska Thursday afternoon.

BOOK CLUB CARNIVAL

ushered in with a burst OF music and
bewiidering blaze of color. the skating
carnival benefit. given by the Woman $
Book Club for the free reading room,
made its bow to waiting crush
Of spectators. The grand march
single fled doubled, quadrupled and
pvoted its way through its mill
tary figures, the climax. perhaps,
being the Virginia reel change. Often,
as the first four or eight abreast swept
swept majectically down the large room,
or as some other graceful maneuver
caught the eye, the audience expressed
its approval and enthusiasm in hearty
handclappings, quickly suppressed lest
they lose the next turn.
Better leaders could not have been
chosen than Mrs. Powers, Sunfower,
and Mr. Charles Blake, Vaquero. When
ever the Sunfower turned its yellow
scarfed head, whenever the Vaquero
sombrero sailed above its fellows, one
felt the magnetic power OF leadership
and command as row after row melted
into orderly lines. The sight was one
to be remembered.
The affair throughout was correct be-
you'd criticism, though one could not
but feel the thrill of the carnival spirit.
Although masks were forbidden, many

Mir. Lang md M. France.

'
 Anatole France in French literature of to-day holds a position in many respects analogous to that hell by Andrew Lang in English Roth are critics. both novelists and historians. Both too, arc stylists, though tho lronic humor of tho Gaul is different and more subtle than the Scot Each of these men has a par tlcular fondness for certain periods of the history of his respective country. Mir. Lang mas delyed much in 1acobite history. though it Is the period of Mary Queen of Scots that has received his best attention. Anatole France. in turn. is deeply verscd in mcdiacval history in the pathology and tho fascinating legends of monks nyd monasteries, 10 which he evinced a hevotion, even as a boy, before he entered the Eole dos Chartcs, The Scots best work Is per haps his Life of Queen Mary Tho Frenchman has just published Life of Joan or Arc, which critics find to ba his greatest achievement. and the final and standard work on the subject. But to MT Lang tho work of the Academi- elan Is a disappointment. He finds in II many misstatements and inconsis- tencies. In one place NJ. France says in another that he does not dispute her honesty and that she cannot be suspected of falsehood." Mir. Lang fur thcr points out, according to M. France. the reports in the Italian chronicle of Morosni 'contain not single fact which Is presented in it's true charac- ter;" vet NJ France twice tries to prove "on the sole evidence of MorosnI's re- ports, that Jeanne make a false prophe. cy." Itis hoped that NJ. France will take notice of those strictures, for nothing could more interesting than a learned battle between the Anatola France of Britain and the Andrew Lang of Gaul.

THE AFRICAN NEGRO
His Teeth Are Large and the Toothache is Not Uncom-
 mon With Him.
LATITUDE AND STATURE
As One Approaches the Equator tho Physique Seems to be
 Smaller.

The following letter upon Tho Afri- can Negro has been received. It will be explanatory
 To tho Editor of tho Journal Courier.
 l have noticed an ad. in your paper by F A. Stewart. entitled, rho Afrl- can Negro" In thls ad. ho speaks of tho teeth of the negro and their per lection even unto old age. It remind cd mo of the African negroes saw in tho territories included between no south latitude to 60 north latitude; and from the coast of Africa to sumatra. These may not all be African negroes, | but the teeth are of like quality as to slzo and durability. Tho negro and tho Arab, alike, wherever you find them, chew the betel nut and limo when they cannot get tobacco. this combination making their teeth of q purple hue.
 remember well an instance at the seychelle Islands, one day there came aboard tho ship a stalwart negro well above six feet tall; 10 call him a buck negro is drawing it mild. Ills head was done uD In white cloth as though suffering from toothache one of the men on board asked him what was the natter -nabon," was his reply, as he held his hand to hls face. One of the men turned about tho crew and sub gested that "Sylva' had no bono in his jaw. Now this suggestion did not sat | isfy tho rest of the men. SO he was asked again. "sylva, what is tho mat | ter with you?' Then came the same 1 answer, N "a paSbnn' Directly the 1 shlps steward came to the rescue and 1 the fellows trouble was translated as a patols meaning poor Sylva was suf- | iering From toothache; "mal dcnt,' he | told the steward
 Well, the truth of tho matter was 1 that Sylva wanted the captain of the | shii Co extract a decayed molar rhis, of course, had to be done with a wrench, You may imagine for your ! self the size ot the tooth. whcn I relate 1 that the captain had 10 give that tooth | three good pulls before 1t would give 1 way. We all thought the first Inter 1 preter had lt pretty nearly right in re- ] gard to the bone in his jaw. for lt ver- ! fly appeared to be bone That the negro hns very large teeth is very true. l but that he never has the toothache Is m error
 II seemed 10 mo that every negro | 1 no south latitude, that Is in tho neigh l borhood of the Fcrnon Velosa river. | was cut off at exactly feet. inches, | and they were proportion aa large | in physique As one approaches the equator the physique seems to take on smaller proportions, the stature of the | Bedouin Arab being not more than ! | feet on tho average. But the teeth seemed of the same firm quality Tho ! natives of the region of tho Indian ocean are very healthy apparently. But when one goes to the Sevchcile 1 archipelago and sees tho people on the Island Of Crucinx suffering from lcnro l sy he beholds a terrible contrast with the vitality and stalwart proportions of the African negro.
