A novel scheme for attracting men
to religious services on Sunday has
been devised by Rev, sydney Good
man. of Atlantic City, whose exam
pie pastors in general are not likely
to follow. Mr.. Goodman has estab-
lished what he calls the Mems
Church." and besides preaching a
sermon, he provides an entertain
ment consisting of moving pictures,
stereopticon views and singing by
professionals. During the entire pro-
ceedings-even the sermon-the men
present are permitted to smoke, ci-
CARS and pipes being furnished by the
preacher. Naturally the meetings
are so well attended that q larger hall
may soon be necessary. Mr.. Good
man is the assistant pastor Of q reg
ular church, and he has had to un
dergo criticism Tor what savors to'
much, In the opinion Of many OF hi
parishioners. OF Salvation Arm
ways. But some conservative churci
members who at FIRST strongly op
posed Mr.. Goodman's methods, ar
said now to have been won over t
them.-Leslie's Weekly.

pletion of arrangements and the
fencing and improving of the grounds
so that the schedule may be started
Immediately after the 9Th Of July.
The County Commissioners will be
asked to improve the streets leading
to the baseball grounds in order that
|the discomfort which has formerly
attended travelling to and from the
ball grounds may be obviated.
The Tonopah Water Company has
! already made the connections neces-
sary to sprinkle the grounds, and
every effort will be made from nov
on to make the attending Of future
baseball games as pleasant as posi-

II the hoodoo is not on the owner
Of the French laundry, La Petite
Whiskers, we miss our guess.
Three fires and six runaways, horse
gone lame and wheels refuse to turn
around, due to lack OF axle grease,
all within a year.
While the dapper little shouter Of
the "Marsellaise" was in the Wells
Fargo Express office, yesterday af-
ternoon, negotiating for a bundle
from La Belle France, the fiery steed
attached to his laundry wagon be-
came imbued with a desire to hit the
high places himself, and forthwith
proceeded TO give an exhibition of
the charge OF the Light Brigade, :"
at least some OF the laundry float
ing in the breeze was of a light char
acter. Reaching the Butler Theater
corner he made an evolution that
denoted hat he had formerly been in
the cavalry brigade. Discerning the
t%ricolor on a lady's Merry Widow hat
coming down the street, he refused
longer to have the ~plebeian vehicle
attached to him, and with a lively
kick became free, and then, execut.
ing an about face, he stood at atten-
ton.
Damage: One Frenchman's fee,

in front of the American saloon, som
dainty lingerie which can probably b.
repaired. and Charley Blumenthal',

Ing amounts of copper, in some in
stances, according to reports, run
ming as high Is 20 per cent.
A J. Mcpherson, who is heavily
,uterested in the district, returned
from there Thursday, and he says the
ueople are very enthusiastic. They
believe that the striking of copper
ore at this depth means that Green
water will develop into one OF the
biggest copper camps in the country.
The shaft at the Greenwater and
Death Valley was started some dis
lance from the ledge, and the bot
tom, 1t Is believed, is now about 300
feet from 1t. The cutting of these
sringers, 1t is thought, indicates that
an ore body may be expected in the
vicinity. A station has been cut at
the 1,0O0-foot level, and cross-cut.
ting has been started.
The shaft at the Furnace Greek
copper is down beyond the S00-foot
level and sinking is being continued
II was the original intention to carry
the shaft to the 1,500-foot point be

now that ore has been struck in thu

MOuO LAKE ls III tuo Hhld-

the American Mining Review. The
lake itself is about sixteen miles long
by ten miles wide, and the valley or
basin surrounding it contains about
10000 acres.
The evidences Of oil are here dis
played in such remarkable, and, for
this country, unusual form, that i.

have not been convinced. All the
favorable geological conditions that
are usually expected are found there

down, and in greater quantity as the

does not come from a small stratum
but from a deeper lying formation
which is almost saturated with oil
and is forced through by a heavy ga
pressure from the oil sands beneath
At different points about the lake
there are other seepages, and also
gas bubbling up from the surface o.
the lake. Seepages are found at {
distance of seven miles back from tn
lake.
The nearest railroad Is about q
miles from the lake, but there is
narrow-gauge road running througi
the oil lands from the lake to Bodie
which will be connected this summe
