SAYS NATIONAL SIINE is
ONE OF THE RICHEST

After a tour of Nevada for the
past month, William J. Smith, late
of the Dixie Meadows mine, re-
turned to this city yesterday, says
the Baker City, Ore. Democrat.
While away he visited Winnie
mucca, Dyke. National, Goldheld,
Tonopah, Rhyolite, and then into
the Funeral range Of mountains.
At National he visited the Ma
tional mine. owned by Sam Gunda-
ker, formerly Of Idaho. The Ma
tional Mr.. Smith found to be one Of
the richest mines he ever saw and
all reports of its wealth are not ex-
aggerated.
At Dyke he found many promis-
ing properties. one Of which Is
owned by the Foster brothers, John
and George, of this city.
From Rhyolite he went into the
Funeral range, in Inyo county, Cali
~fornia, and there he secured options
on one or two properties showing
great deposits Of ore Of high values,
In the vicinity Of Rhyolite Mr..
Smith met many former Baker coun-
ty men, among them James Gilfl-
Ian, Hugh Leonard, John Mitchell
and Thomas Kelly.
So we'll impressed was Mr.. Smith
with what he saw Of Nevada he in
tends to return there in the neal
future.

The Chinese Doctor.

In China physicians practice on the
Subscription plan; that Is to say. each
family pays its doctor certain fixed
sum each year. But the Chinese con-
slider that the principal value Of doc
tors is 20 keep them well rather than
to cure them Of illness: SO when a
physician is unable tn prevent one of
his clients from becoming i'll, certain
sum is deducted from his pay. the
amount being regulated by the length
of time his client is sick This sensi-
BILE system makes the Chinese physi-
clan exceedingly watchful over the
health Of the people.
But the system has its disadvantages.
as the court physicians have just learn
ed to their cost For the doctors found
themselves unable to prevent the En-
peror and the Dowager Empress from
dying; therefore It was necessary that
they shonld suffer the penalty of such
grave ignorance AS consequences OF
this double imperial death Ave imperial
physicians have been degraded two de-

HRIToNs DISAPPOINTED.
All Arrangements Made for Cordial
Reception Of Latham at Dover.

Dover, July 19.-Although starting
under the most favorable conditions,
Herbert Latham, the French aerOnaut,
failed in his first attempt to fly across
the English channel. Making an as
cent at Gas A. NJ. today the aviator,
sailing beautifully in wide sweeping
circles. appeared to have every pros
Tpect of success in his hazardous UNI
dertaking. Wireless reports from San
gattc soon announced that the machine
was out of sight and the watchers at
Dover, NJ. Latham's object point, were
warned to be on the lookout. The ma
chine never appeared however, and as
the time passed the greatest anxiety
prevailed. Soon came the report that the
monoplane had fallen into the sea and
the hopes of NJ. Latham's friends, that
he would be the first to accomplish the
channel fight, We're disappointed.
When the day broke heavy fog
hung over the French shore, light
rain was falling and it was said here
that the fight would be given up. AS
the morning advanced however, the
sky cleared and by o'clock there was
little wind and no mist. watchers on
this side being able to see 10 miles
across the water Similar conditions
prevailed on the French side and the
wireless instruments brought the in
formation that the Frenchman had de-
cided to make the attempt. The tugs
were sent out and every precaution
made for the reception of the aviator
The disappointment therefore was all
the greater when the news that the
attempt to cross the channel had been
met with failure. 1t was not until 1890
that definite news was received here
Of the rescue of M. Latham. A brief
dispatch then said that the torpedo
boat destroyer Harpon had returned
to Calais with the aeronaut aboard.
The monoplane had dropped into the
water several miles from the French
coast or shortly after it had disappear
ed from sight to Sangette. When pick
ed up the monoplane was still floating
and Latham was sitting calmly in his
seat smoking cigarettes.
