Conscientious Workman.

At the Union league of Philadelphia
a few days ago the veteran shipbuild.
er, Charles H. Cramp, related a curl.
GUS incident of a skilled caulker named
Brown, who, after many years of ser.
vice at the Cramp shipyards, obtained
a more important position at the
navy yard. This man came of a family
which had been employed at Cramps
for three generations, since the early
part OF the last century. and was ex.
t-emely conscientious. So keen q
sense of duty did Brown possess that,
although he had been placed on the
regular salary list at the navy ward.
nothing could induce him to draw his
pay for the days he did not work. He
had not been accustomed, he said. to
get paid except for working days. and
he was not going to rob the govern
ment" when work was slack.

A correspondent of the Las Vegas Age is roasting both Pioche and Searchlight, but at the same time is of the opinion that Eldorado Canyon is the most wonderful mineral country on earth. The gentleman is somewhat behind the times. Pioche, if worked under proper conditions today would be one of the greatest mineral pro- ducer in southern Nevada: and Search light is also all right. And this is not disparaging Eldorado Canyon, which has been wealth producer for nearly fifty years.
