ANOTHER STRIKE MADE
IN MASON VALLEY NINE

While the work which is being
carried on at the Mason Valley COM
pany's mine, at Yerington, is mainly
that of drifting, prosecuting and
raising, to block out the immense
tonnage of ore which has been
opened to the 600-foot level, it is
reported from the camp that one of
the upraises has encountered an en-
tirely new vein, believed to apex be-
tween the 500 and 600 levels. The
superintendent regards the new dis
covery as of great importance, but
sinking on it will not be started un-
til the company begins to stope ore.
Results of the WORK of blocking
out of the ore bodies are having
good effect upon local stockholders,
says the Yerington Times The Wis
ible supply of ore is so great that
any doubt which might have eX-
listed as to the value of the stock
has vanished. The ore bodies are
proving to be tremendous in size
and the values hold strong AMI uni-
form.
The mine will be fully prepared
for large production by the tirna The
proposed smelter is ready to treat
the ore.

Spoiled His Taste.

ga friend of mine," said a Montana
man, sis defending damage suit for
being party to making a man take
the liquor cure without his consent.
This man had been on a protracted
spree of several weeks, and his bust
ness was going to the dogs. My friend
thought it would be kindly thing to
send him to a sanitarium for treat
ment. He did SO, and the man was
given the cure for the whiskey habit
When he was discharged from the san
itarium the first thing he did was to go
to saloon. File called for whiskey.
He tasted it, but did not fancy the fla
vor of it. He set his distaste of it down
to the cure he had been given by my
friends orders and Immediately began
suit for $4,000 damages. He says in
his complaint that he had a highly
cultivated ahd discriminating taste for
whiskey, which had taken years to de-
velop, and that it was spoiled by the
cure. do not know how my friend
will come out, but he is not helping
any more down and outs without first
obtaining their consent. New York

A Gymnast1c Maine Hen.

Zenas Dudley Of Hampden, has a
hen that will lay every day, provided
she can lay where she wants to, and
that is sitting on top of pole. The
only reason why this hen wishes to
perch on the tip end of pole when
laying can be accounted for only by
the fact that she laid her first egg on
top of pole. When she was a small
pullet she was frightened one day and
flew to the top of a tall pole in the
yard. The dog kept her there for some
time, and during that time she laid her
first egg. Never a time since then has
she laid an egg except when she has
been on top of some pole. A pole has
been set up in the hen yard where this
hen can make her daily layings. A
small net bag is placed around the pole
to catch the eggs.-Kennebec Journal.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
WOMAN FINDS ALL HER ENERGY
AND AMBITION SLIPPING AWAY.

Staunton women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life burden: Backache,
hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, dis
tressing urinary troubles, all tell of
sick kidneys and warn you of the
stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills permanently cure all these dis
orders Here's proof of it in Staun-
toms woman's words:
Mrs. Charles E. Danner, 113 E. Sa-
lem ST., Staunton, Va, says: 81 suff-
cred severely from backache and kid
ney trouble. My back was very weak
and if made quick movement, sharp
pains darted through my loins. My
head ached intensely and was also
subject to dizzy spells. 1 saw Doan's IS
Kidney Pills highly recommended for
troubles such as mine and | procured
box at Thomas Hogshead's drug
store. They helped nae from the first
and I continued using them until my
back was strong and the other symp-
toms of kidney complaint were re-
moved. Doan's Kidney Pills have my
highest endorsement.

demanded 'four years more"

very lusty tone
That just what the country needed was

Now the captains have departed, hush
ed the loud, tumultuous din
And the dinner pail is enlpty-but the
tax is on the tin.
Yes, the dinner pail is empty, but the
tax is on the tin;
And tax upon my clothing, and the
clothing wearing thin.
There's q tax upon the cradle of the
babe of which Pm proud;
There's tax upon my table-there'll
be one upon my shroud.
Yes, I cried out for protection" till my
throat was raw and hoarse,
And got it, o l got it-but twas In

Yes, the promise was as empty as the
argument was thin,
And the dinner pail is empty-but the

"Four years more" We gaily shouted;
We'll "let well enough alonev
But the tariff soup was gobbled by the
trusts-we get the bone.
"Workingmep must have protectionW

marched SO proudly fly,
Now the barons have departed to gay

And the badge OF our protectlOn is the

And we lift the lid and ponder as we
sadly gaze within
That although the pail is empty, still

grabbed through tariff graft;
Carnegie has just as many, and they're
both of them for Taft.

Test for Eggs.

Placed in the water, an egg, if fresh,
will remain resting at the bottom of the
vessel; if not quite fresh, it will rest
with the big end:raised higher than the
small end, and the higher the big end
is raised the older is the egg.
AS an egg gets older, the water con-
tanned in the white evaporates, and
this causes the empty space at the
thick end of the egg to become enlarg-
'ed.- The larger that empty space be-
comes the more the egg rises in the
water till in course of time it floats.

THE MIRAGE.
CONDITIONS THAT MAKE POSSIBLE
THIS BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION.

CONDITIONS THAT MAKE POSSIBLE
THIS BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION.
About that natural phenomenon, the
mirage, much mystery clung in days
of old, but science explains it as readily
as the rainbow.
The fata morgana of the strait of
Messina and the specter of the Brocken
were nothing more in sober reality than
mere mirage.
A mirage may occur at any place
| where the denser stratum of air is
placed above the lighter stratum, thus
rejecting the rays of light. the com,
mon surface of the two stratums acting
as mirror.
In looming mirages distant objects
show an extravagant increase in ver-
tical height without alteration in
breadth. Distant hummocks of ice are
thus magnified into immense towers
and pinnacles, and ships sometimes
abnormally drawn out until it appears
twelve or thirteen times as high as it
is long Rocks are seen drawn upon to
ten or twelve times their proper height.
Houses as we'll as human beings and
animals appear in like exaggerated
shape.
Another form of mirage is when
ship or some other object near the wat
er seems greatly elongated and a Sec
ond inverted image meets it from
above.
Sometimes the proper image of the
object is elevated far above the sea,
while the second image strangely ap-
pears inverted beneath it, the whole
surrounded by sheet of sky which is
mirrored and repeated within it.
In 1882 in the arctic region Captain
Scoresby recognized by it's inverted i'm
age in the air his fathers ship, the
Fame, which afterward proved to be
seventeen miles beyond the visible ho-
rizon of his observation.
One August evening in 1906 DR..
Vince saw from Ramsgate, at which
place only the tops of Dover castle
towers are usually visible, the whole of
the castle. 1t appeared as though lift
ed up and bodily placed on the near
side of the intervening hill. So perfect
was this illusion that the hill itself
actually could not be seen through the
figure.
Some forms of mirage are interal as
well as vertical, arising from unequal
density of two contiguous vertical bod
les of air. Thus on Lake Geneva boat
has been seen double, and two images
some distance apart
Persons have been duplicated in the
same way. Any one on hot day by
placing his eye near to heated well
may see lateral mirages of objects at a
distance and nearly ON line with the
well.
Mirages are very frequent on deserts
of the large sandy plains which abound
in the southwestern states and terri
tories. Many a painting wagon train
has pushed on in joyous haste at the
sight of green grove or limpid lake,
only to be cruelty disappointed at the
fading away of the vision. Is it any
wonder that the natives and Indians
regard the phenomenon as the work of
of evil and tantalizing spirits?
Lake Ontario is famous for beautiful
and wonderful mirages, during which
the opposite shore of the lake is plainly
visible from either side.-Pearson's.
