A Great Country

A prominent resident of Pioneer,
who was in Rhyolite few evenings
ago, vouches for the following story.
His name is not mentioned because some
soothing, doubling Thomas might ques-
ton his veracity:
A few days ago resident of Pioneer
peacefully breathed his last and his
spirit left for the great beyond.
Friends made funeral preparations,
telephoned Rhyolite for coffin and had
the grave dug. The body was taken
out and buried by large crowd of sor-
rowing friends, some of whom when
leaving picked up some of the material
which had been taken from the ground
in digging the grave This was taken
down town and PANIED, showing a
string of colors that made their hair
stand on end
A consultation was held and it was
decided to move the body to another
spot and start work sinking shaft
Men were sent half mile further away
and another grave started The last
round of shots opened a ledge of quartz
that was literally spotted with gold,
and it was decided to ship the remains
to Goldfield, there to rest in peace until
Gabe makes the big noise.

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to mite in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite" seems to have been q third of Flemish penny but the Use of the word for the widow s coin of the New Testament made it's regular English meaning half far thing. aud some old people may re- member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books mite" stands for various val ucs not represented Ey actual coins but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 11O6 makes it oue-tweifth of a penny. two sixteenth century books one-sixth of farthing, and in 1874 Jeake's arithmetic made it as little as one sixty fourth of a penny.-Lon. don Chronicle

The first charge overthrow the Eighty y-third regiment of the Prussians and penetrated among the German troops. but the latter formed again rapidly after the retirement of the French cavalry.
 General Ducrot then asked if they could renew the charge with what re- mained of the light cavalry and hus- sars. and then Gallifet answered in the words that have become historic. ".As often as you wish, general. as long as man remains!' The second charge was not SC successful as the first Only few rurn, with their gen eral at their head. succeeded in pene tratin@ the first ranks of the enemy. It is known that the king of Prussia, who was watching the battle from the top of the hill of Marfee. exclaimed with admiration, "Oh, les braves gems"
