LOW GRADE WHAT PAYS.

A we'll known mining authority
says that less than per cent of
those engaged in mining are shrewd
enough to see that proposition that
is good for fifty years is vastly bet
ter than one whose glittering dis
play hardly outlasts the setting up
of the stamps which pound out the
values. Highgrade ore is always
short lived, while medium and low
grade ores are the dependable as

First Start was Made Yesterday and a
Twenty-minute Test Shows no De-
fects in Huge Piece of Machinery
Will Start Pumping in Earnest on
Monday.

The big pump on the 1200-foot
level of the Mizpah made it's initial
run yesterday and for twenty min
utes water was forced to the surface
The test was more than satisfactory
and the run was made without a
hitch. The sinking pump which is to
convey the water from the bottom of
the shaft to the sump on the 1900
level also proved satisfactory and
furnished sufficient water for the
larger pump. The real work of ex-
tracing the water from the bottom
of the shaft will start on Monday.
The main pump, which is the first
to be installed in the Tonopah mines,

affair with a four and one-half inch
plunger and twelve-inch stroke,
and has a capacity of 200 gallons
per minute. 1t is driven by a 100
horsepower Westinghouse type CO.
motor. The power is supplied by a
three-phase. armored cable capable of
delivering 200 horsepower.
The water column for the delivery
OF the water to the surface consists
of 600 feet of extra heavy six-inch
pipe and $40 feet of, standard six
inch pipe. In this line near the
pump is a six-inch check valve. also

CARSON, March 5.-Here is a
handful of measures pertaining to
Nye county that got mixed up in the
proceedings of the assembly today:
The bill providing for the refund
ing of it's Indebtedness was reported
favorably from the committee.
The delegation from Nye county
introduced these triplets: Fixing
salaries of county and township Of
ficers and telling where fees receiv-
ed should be placed to do the most
good; requiring county treasurer to
give surety bonds and providing that
the premiums for the same shall be
paid by the county, and permitting
county treasurers to deposit funds in
their custody in banks.
A resolution was adopted that
none other than appropriation bills
shall be introduced after Monday,
except by two-thirds affirmative
vote.
Three of four fish and game bills,
the senate substitute for the pure
food bill and one amending present
marriage and divorce laws were
passed

tcrneys of that jay camp, gave notice

For some reason that does not ap-
pear on the surface, the committee
on state institutions submitted a
lengthy thesis on the beneficial beau
ties of the State Historical society,

there was something going on without

FUNNY SIDE OF gALLooNIN
BY GEORGE B. HARRISON


IN HAT there are more laughs than
fears in ballooning is the testi-
= mony of those who have tried it
out. The time to be afraid is before
one starts, when it must be seen to
that the weather is good enough, that
ropes, envelopes, ballast and outfit are
what they should be. Then the man
who knows his balloon-and your bal
loonist comes to know his aerostat
just as the horseman knows and loves
his steed or the motor maniac his car
then the efficient air traveller will en-
joy his ride and come back to earth
more firmly convinced that there is
nothing like 1t.
The memories of ones voyage in
balloon that give the strongest impress
sions are the extremes, the awe in
spring and the ludicrous. 1t goes
without saying, almost, that no one
can get mile above the earth without
feeling his insignificance and coming
nearer to the eternal order of things.
When you see Los Angeles from Gar
vanza to the limits that touch the
waters of Wilmington bay, and at the
same time can take in with the sweep
of an eye the country and ocean from
Santa Cruz island to Sierra Madre,
from Mount San Gabriel to away be-
yond Santa Catalina, you are filled
with a tremendous enthusiasm about
the imperial possibilities of Los An
geles county, and you want to go and
tell the mayor all about it.
But it is when you get nearer the
ground and are travelling ION the rope
that the funny things happen and you
get the laughs out of ballooning. Even
at 2O0O feet you can hear the wild ex-
citement in the poultry yards. In
evitably as a balloon approaches cocks,
hens, cockerels and pullets join in
ha TnIinn and mAdIV for
cover. The hens scurry under the
barn or the nearest wagon, always
followed last by the old rooster
handing you his choicest assortment OF
swear cackles. If you are travelling
above one of the many poultry colonies
in Southern California you may pick
out the nervous Mediterraneans from
the more self-contained American
breeds. The leghorns will set up a
terrible fuss and endeavor to get
through the fence wire, while a family
of rocks or Wyandottes takes the un-

A RURAL JOKE

In inspecting an old English church,
Mr.. j. j. Hissey was conducted by a
caretaker who evidently had small IN
terest in architecture, for as soon as
the visitor had looked about all he
wished as he records in "An English
Holiday" she announced, Now l will
show you something of real interest"
She led the way through the church,
yard to a spot where an open space
in the boundary wall was apparently
fenced across by some wooden rails
and three upright posts; beyond this
was a footpath across the fields.
There" she said, that's what we
call tumbledown stile. 1 don't expect
you have ever seen one before. Strange
folk, who don't know how to use 1T,
put their feet on the bars to climb over
natural-like, then the bars give way
and the folk tumble down trying to
climb over it,
Before us were four rails stretched
across the open space at the usual
height of a gate or fence, and our
guide, placing her hand on the topmost
rail at one end pushed it easily down
with the others below, and stepped
over them.
Upon a close examination we discov-
cred that the four bars moved on pivots
placed in the middle upright post, the
bars being weighted at one end to keep
them in horizontal position when not
purposely pushed down. Truly
quaint, uncommon and somewhat COM
plicated sort of stile, although simple
enough to use, to any one acquainted
with the working of it. novice, how
ever, who essays to climb over it, which
appears the natural thing to do, is
nearly always thrown down. as already
mentioned, owing to the bars unex-
pectedly giving way under his feet;
and that as the old body exclaimed.
"is the joke of it,
I verify believe that she would have
greatly rejoiced had a stranger CHANGED
to come along that day and tumble
at the stile: but, as she explained, half
apologetically, strangers be scarce in
this part of the world; it amt no good
waiting for one"

is, of course, legitimate damage FREE
quently incurred in ballooning, but it
Is seldom that the owner of the bal
loon finds it underestimated. Roy
knabenshue says he has had some
dengnttul experiences in his Southern
CallIornla trips where he has found
the people more willing to put them
selves out than to make out an eX-
traVagant bill.
The initiation of a new passenger is
d chance for the practical Joker. 1t is
easy to work yourself into worry
If you have nervous temperament
and your fellow passenger persists in
telling what would happen il you
should fall out or accidentally pull the
rip cord or run into the high tension
wires and get $4,000 volts. Then, if
you have never heard it before and
the pilot has forgotten to tell you
what it means, when he pulls the
valve open some 5000 feet above the
ground and you hear the swish of es-
Gaping gas and the clang of the clos
ing valve you possess a job lot of
scarry shivers to close out below cost
What if the valve wouldn't close?"
you ask. The pilot says it does close
and will close, but you don't laugh
about it until the next trip.

concluded that her mouth was full of
pins. A writer in the Toledo Blade tells
the story.

A Chinese Superstition.

FengShui is the Chinese superstition
that determines good site or locality,
and if town on the Yangtze has not
a good fengshui trade will not come to
it, and it will be ruined. A town
named Peishih had its pagoda in the
wrong place-not far enough down the
river-and the result was that all traf-
f1c which should have come to it was
swept past. Peishih being left out in
the cold. The people pulled down the
pagoda and built another one in the
supposed right spot, as nothing would
convince them that the depression
could arise from any other cause than
that of bad fengshui.
The city of Wanshein, on the other
hand. has perfect fengshui two fine
pagodas. and is very prosperous. But
the fact that Wanshein is situated in
a fertile valley, where wheat. barley
and the poppy flourish abundantly,
while Peishih is barren and miserable,
does not concern the inhabitants so
much as the fengshui site. This re-
markable idea in the Chinese mind is
only one of thousands like 1t.

Cigarettes and Business.

The recent drastic action
against the cigarette in the
Western States is very signifi-
cant. and the reason therefor is
we'll worth the careful consider
alton of every young man who
has an ambition to do something
in life worth while.
The States of Michigan, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Hi
nois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebras-
ka have all passed rigid laws
prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of what are aptly termed
coffin nails" within their bor-
ders.
These drastic laws are passed
solely for business reasons. En-
ployers have found it utterly use
less to forbid cigarette smoking
by their employees. as in spite of
the prohibition the victims of the
pernicious habit persisted in its
indulgence n secret and felt
that they were at liberty to do
as they pleased on their own
time.
That, of course, was their
right, and not being a crime,
could not be forbidden or punish
ed by law. Moral reasons and
preachments d i not weigh.
But in order to obtain competent
and reliable help, employers
found it necessary to do some
thing to put a stop to cigarette
smoking, and their combined in
fluence resulted in the passage
of the laws.
