adopt the commission plan OF government
as first exploited by Galveston. Tex.
and later by some few other cities. vii

OF government The commission plan OF
government has made good deal o.
noise in the world. 1t has been applied
very successfully in few instances. and
it has been heralded by many as tht
ideal plan of municipal government
Whether the government by commission
plan in cities will prove panacea for. al
our municipal ills is a matter to be de
termined by much wider experience

TRUE BOHEMIAN
 ABHORS WEALTH

From the Smart Set.
 There never was a true Bohemia that was not marked by cheery song, good talk and poverty. A bankrupt millionaire or great noble of fallen fortunes frequent ly becomes the best of Bohemians: but let member of the guild acquire wealth, fame or social position, and the Bohemian ism slips from his shoulders like an old garment, as 1t did in the case of Clemen- ceau, who once contentedly quaffed his beer at Pfafrs and Is now Prime Minister of France.
 There Is only one thing more absurd on it's face than a wealthy and fashionable Bohemia. and that is one that is sour and discontented and whose laughter does not ring true And the trouble with every one of our self-styled Bohemias Is that it is not happy and careless, but morose envious and given over to the worship of money, which 1t borrows on every possible occasion from the unsuspecting stranger under the pretence of making good Bohemian out of him."
 It is pitiful to think of the delightful groups of unaffected, agreeable men and women that have crystallized in New York from time to time only to be broken up and scattered to the four windsl 10 sooner does the cheery and unpretentious little foreign restaurant which has served to attract clever and interesting people begin to acquire a little local renown, than the professional Bohemian is certain to appear upon the scene. He is known to all wise men by his forced geniality and a laugh that never comes, as all honest laughs should, from below his collar hutton

sad and melancholy Jack Moore with gloom instead of brightness stamped upon his face.
 The story caused a sensation in the ship, and while the captain and mates tried to laugh the incident away, the crew would readily discern in the laughter hollowness expressive of anything but mirth. The next night the skipper put two men on the watch forward, and when they had an experience altogether sim liar to the one described by Ben Da1y, every one on the ship was converted to firm belief in speeters. The night before the Mary Wolford reached Singapore the whole crew was forward watching for the ghost The pale face showed on the waters; the specter arose from the sea; but instead of ascending to the deck the presence rested for a moment on the Jib and vanished. That was the last seen Of the ghost and Langford, while swearing to the truth of the story, makes no at tempt to explain the phenomenon.

Wells Please the Grocer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 'These wells the women folks are wear ing, all nailed down tight under their chins, are 8 great boon for us. all right, all right" said an East End grocer. ''Women, you know, are the greatest peo- pie on earth to come in and sample things. They'll take taste of this and a taste of that while you're wrapping up something for them. and the first thing you know they've eaten up about a neckeps worth of stuff.
 I've can't say anything to a woman. particularly those that are good custom CTS. Now we don't have to. I haven't seen a woman taste anything in the store for month or so. Those veils are put on so tight that the only way they can sam pie anything would be to take 1t through a straw"

or found himself thinking or Jack Moore. This was not all, for as the recent trag- edy was pictured again in the mans mind Daily felt an uncanny chill steal up his spine and grip at his heart.
 Then it was that strange sound smote his ears; it was a gasp, moan, smoth- cred cry and it came from somewhere out in the Indian sea. Daly, recalling all the stories he had heard of ghosts and hobgoblins, was thoroughly frightened, and leaning over the side of the ship he gazed upon the moonlit waters. For time he could distinguish nothing but the silver sheen quivering upon the gentle swell and was about to turn away when his eye detected something strange and horrible which appeared to move just be- meath the floor The something was a white, drawn face, which, even as Daily gazed upon it, rose to the surface and remained stationary while the waves washed over it. and seemed to leave glis- tening drops in the dark hair, hanging damp and matted about the marblelike forehead Daily looked at the face in the water as though spellbound; fear held him enchained, and he had no power to hasten from the scene. And as Daly gazed the face all the while becoming clearer, took on a familiar cast. It was the face of Jack Moore, the drowned man. but, oh, how different from that same face in life. The features were drawn and set; the cheeks were hollow, the eyes deep sunlSen in their sockets, and while it was unmistakably the face of Jack Moore, it was also the face of one grown suddenly old through confront ing some awful chimera The face up- rose, a body apparaled in dripping pea jacket oilskinned trousers and heavy boots followed 1t and the spectre, as light as air, ascended through space and stood on the deck in the moonlight at the side of the terror-stricken Ben Daly.
 The ghost said nothing, only gazed with a look of inexpressible sadness up at the bellying shrouds, and then faded, very slowly, into nothingness. It was Jack Moore, contended Daly, but Jack Moore that the shipmen had never known, a

Daly's mind was all at once turned from it's channel of thought, and the sail or found himself thinking of Jack Moore. This was not all, for as the recent trag- edy was pictured again in the mans mind Daly felt an uncanny chill steal up his spine and grip at his heart.

GOOD ORE BEING SACKED

oulaan Uncovers Rich Ore in Virgin Ground in Extreme
Western Edge of the Dstrict--DeveIopng Big Vein
That Yields Iron Sulphur, Gold and Gas

on an average. The vein has been en-
tered on the IS, $50, $50, 300, 375 and
40O-foot levels On the $50 level
crosscut is now in about 100 feet and
it is figured that it will have TO go
another 100 feet to cut the vein. Dacite
was encountered at 100 feet depth in
the workings.
An upraise on the 375-foot level en-
countered about three feet of ore that
averages better than $6 and on the
250 level there are two and one-half
feet of ore that breaks from $50 to
$35, and which is being sacked for
shipment. Picked specimens Of the ore
will run much higher, some of it being
worth perhaps 5000 per ton. The ore
is highly silicified dacite, that has
in places been almost entirely replaced
with iron sulphates, containing gold.
The vein matter is partly mass of

veins Part of the vein is barren. In
both the $50 and the 375 levels drifts
are being run on the vein, and present
indications are that big ore shoot has
been found, and that the little mine
out to the west Of town is going to
make some money for the men who have
stayed with it and done such faithful
work.
There is flow of water in the lower
levels now, and on the $50 and 20O-foot
levels there is such a flow of gas as to
at times drive the miners ort of those
levels. Ventilating apparatus is now
being installed, and this trouble will be
obviated The gas has strong stencil

BELEVE OIL STRIKE
IS A genuine find

WINNEMUCCA, Dec. "a. Encourag-
ing reports still continue to come to
hand Of the oil strike on the Western
Pacific railroad on the edge of Black
Rock desert. From parties who re-
turned this week from the vicinity OF
the strike, we are informed that the
first Indication of oil was struck in a
well at depth Of 800 feet, when .
black greasy substance was brought to
the surface by the well-boring device
employed by the Western Pacific COM
pany in sinking for water. The forma-
tion which the drill is penetrating is a
soft, black shale and an expert who is
on the ground, and who has had ex-
perience in boring for oil, pronounces
the indications there as the very best
for field Of producing oil wells.
The well-boring equipment at Sulphur
Siding is standard machine and is
capable of attaining great depth, it is
the opinion of people of many people
who have been there that if the rail-
road company will continue the boring
oil in paying quantity will be found.
