THE OLD CIRCUS POSTER.
Pretentious Language With Which the
Show Was Described.

The grandiloquent extravaganza Of
language Of the old time circus poster
is illustrated by this reproduction,
which is given verbatim:
There will be presented a resplen-
dent series Of sublime, moral, interest
ing. instructive, amusing and wonder
full scenes which would appear entirely
too fabulous if expressed in an adver-
tisement. They must be seen to be
duly appreciated. These great displays
will unfold in all the. loneliness and
beauty Of enchantmept, carrying the
minds Of the bewildered or spellbound
spectators off on the gentle wings Of
the imagination to such pageantry as
they might dream Of after reading a
few pages Of Arabian Nights Enter
tafnments.' Words are really wanting
TO give adequate expression. Web
ster's unabridged fails most signally in
language TO fully portray a semblance
OF the reality. Economy may be learn
ed at this great college in single
evening. Here the visitor win see
splendid specimens OF the zygodacty-
lous race that live upon the earth or
6oat and poise upon the wings Of gold
and silver plume in the cerulean arch,
and in reference TO these the corps Of
superintendent in courtly dress will
elucidate the peculiarities OF each with
guarded suagiloqueoce."

THE TWO ROME0S.
Mrs. siddons' Opinion Of David csrriobC
and Spraneer Barry.


Mrs. siddons' Opinion Of David osrrieIc
- and Spraneer Barry.
David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time in London. Barry played IT at
Drury Lane on the Monday, and Car
rick played 1t the next night at Coyent
Garden, and the town was divided as
10 which was the greater RomeO-in
fact, there was quite a great excite
ment about II, and they acted IT upon
such different lines and with such mar
yelOusly different conceptions that the
people argued the case as TO which
Shakespeare intended. The fact Is that
Shakespeare intended Il 10 be acted
well. and II one mans temperament
suited II best to act in that way It
would do for another temperament the
other way
So they asked Mrs SiddOns, who was
the Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo, which she considered better OF
the two, and she said:
1T rs difficult 10 say. They are both
wonderfully great, but ] will tell you
how they impress one in the balcony

Perkins Co., Times: A jubil-
ant meeting of the Bison County
Seat Club was held at Bison Tues
day evening. About a hundred
people were present. The COM
mittee sent to Lennon to look
after the illegal vote reported
having had an interesting time
and said that a certain few of the

tertaining. A committee was ap-
pointed to go ahead with the con-
struction of the court house build
ing as soon as Bison gets the
certificate of election, and another
to attend to the financial matters.
The campaign committee reported
some funds still on hand, the total
expense having been less than
seventy-fve dollars. (Wonder

NEW CAMP OF NATIONAL
HAS IDEAL SURROUNDINGS

ing developed there at the present time.
The Stall brothers are taking out an
other shipment of high grade and in a
few days the people here will have the
pleasure of again seeing another lot
of gold ore that is the richest yet taken
out of any mine in the state. That
is a pretty broad assertion, for Nevada
is producing very rich ores at a great
number of places.
Too much cannot be said of this
great camp, for development work on
Charleston hill has proven almost con-
clusively the continuity of at least one
great vein. AS the porphyry belt in
which the veins occur covers an area
of many miles, a number of other
mines equally as rich as the Charles
ton hill property can be looked for
with development.
Tomorrow the Gundaker automobile
will leave for the camp with a num-

National, the northern Humboldt
county mining camp that is produc-
ing the richest gold ore yet sent to
the smelter in quantity from the state,
is eharmingly located, with numerous
advantages over many other camps in
Nevada, and especially on the southern
deserts. Throughout the whole dis
lance of seventy miles from Winnemuc-
ca to National, over al excellent road,
there are first class stations, with the
best of accommodations, at regular in
tervals along the whole route.
National is situated on the northern
end of the Santa Rosa range OF noun
tains and overlooks the beautiful
Queen River valley that is dotted with
ranches from one end to the other and
is one of the greatest stock raising re-
gions in Nevada. In fact, there is "a
fine ranch at the mouth of the canyon
that leads into the camp. 1t is with
ont doubt one of the most favOrably
situated mining camps in the state.
Besides it's picturesqueness and close
proximity to the ranches, there are
large streams of water running almost
at the portals of the mines that are be-

if he comes will be given a promin, Mt

Mr.. Penrose arrived in Nevada from
Illinois il 1852 and while en- route to
California stopped and mined for a
month in Gold Canyon. He again
tried his luck in 1853 and remained
until June, 1854, when he returned 10
Nevada in 1856 with his family and
has since resided in this state, follow
ing summer the occupation of farm
ing and that of mining in winter.
MI. Penrose was in Gold Hill when
Riley and Mclaughlin found a good
prospect of gold at what is now the
Ophir mine. Owing to prospective
trouble over the discovery Riley and
Mclaughlin induced Penrose to buy
out the other claimants as he and
Comstock owned nine shares of the ten
of the spring that furnished water for
working the mine. About June II,
1859, the pay streak turned down into "A
lead about four feet wide and the
ground was soon after located as a
quartz lead.

STRIKES RICH GOLD VEIN
IN NORTHERN HUMBOLDT

Word has reached Winnemucca, says
the Humboldt Star, that John Yates,
who has been prospecting in the Pine
Forest range, has struck a wonderfully
rich vein of gold ore. The disclosures
were made about three miles south of
Dyke, and only ten miles west from
Quinn River Crossing. He has located
a group of claims with outcrops of ore
that pan well in gold. One of the
lodges is over eight feet wide and seems
to be extremely rich, for a treneh cut
through the vein shows eolors of ths
yellow metal for the full width.
This big ledge has been traced fol-
a distance Of 500 feet, and gold can be
PANIED anywhere along the strike. Be
sides showing great milling values Their
are s~tringers and shoots in the ledge
that are immensely rich in gold, show
ing many large eolors to the naked
eye.

AN OPTION Is TAKEN ON
FAMOUS LEWIS PROPERTIES

An option was taken this week by A.
c.. Lemaire and w. A. Collins on the
control of the Otaheite Gold and Silver
Mining company, owning the famous
Star-Grove and Eagle mines at Lewis,
IA miles southeast of this place, says
the Battle Mountain Herald. The con-
troll of this company was purchased
some time ago from New York parties
by Walter Dobbs, and he in turn OPP
toned it to Messrs. Lemaire and Collins.
The property consists of eight patented
claims and was worked actively for
several years during the halcyon days
Of silver mining in Nevada, supporting
a camp of more than a thousand popula-
ton.
The old workings are to be reopened
and from all accounts Of the conditions
in which the property was left when
closed down some Is years ago, 1t Is
more than probable that it will again
become an active producer.

MUCH WORK In PROGRESS
In GOLD CIRCLE SECTION

Midas, May 27.-The Geyman mill is
running to it's full capacity and treat
ing at least 80 tons a day. Mr.. Miller,
the ~amalgamator, claims they are saw
ing IS per cent with straight amalgama-
ton. The first run was on the Yaden
Leasing company's ore, and now they
are running 500 and Mr.. Fayant of this
company says they will have a mill OF
their own in 80 days.
The Riley-Riddell Leasing company
sent six tons to the Glasgog Western
Milling company of GolcOnda. The
Huntington mills there, with straight
amalgamation, saved S2 per cent. The
ore through the sampler averaged 1852.
This company will give the Midas mill
at once 300 tons.
The Boyle lease on the Esmeralda
is sinking and has three shifts and will
90 another 100 feet before prosecuting.
They nave 700 tons on their dumps. 1t
was sampled last week by Mr.. Hartley
of Oakland, and he reports a value OF
1858.
Mr.. Hartley has a mill on it's way
here, with a capacity of 20 tons daily.
He had bought this mill for National,
but changed his mind and it will be in
operation as soon as it is possible to
get it in.
The Rex Mines company has crosscut
Is feet of ore from the hundred in their
new shaft and from a floor sample OF
500 pounds gave an assay of $ls. This
company also expects to put in a mill
Of their own. They have on a horst

MYSTIC JUICE PUTS NEW
LIFE INTO MANHATTAN

The all awakening power of the cleo
tric current made it's entry into Man
haitian Tuesday night for the first time,
and citizens of that camp loosed a loud
cheer when they saw the rays of light
pierce the gloom for the first time from
the few lamps which are already install
ed. Today, the work of installing the
electric light bulbs throughout the
camp will be continued by the people of
the camp desiring light, and it will be
only a short time until the entire camp
and every household is lighted by
electricity.
c. o. Poole, consulting engineer of the
Nevada-C California Power company, has
returned to Goldfeld from Manhattan,
where he superintendent the last steps
in the installation of the power line to
that camp, and he says that the citizens
were very enthusiastic when the light
entered the city, as since the birth OF
the camp it has had to depend entirely
upon oil lamps and candles.
"Outside of the mere fact that cleo
tricity means so much to Manhattan
an illuminant,' said Mr.. Poole, sit has
a greater value to the camp for the use
it may be put to as a means of devel
oping the various mines, and stimulat.
ing the work of placer claims. Manhat.
tan always has been handicapped by
it's lack of power, as the cost of fuel
in that camp has been very high at all
times, and with the cheaper rates, many
properties will be enabled to continue
operations, after a period of enforced
idleness.'
Nj. Poole stated that the big power
line will be run Immediately from
Vudhhoee"h Wv INT oSSSAt w "ouh'
! Mountain, and that the line will be il
that camp within a week, although thu
power will not be available until q
week later. Power will be in Pioneer
within one week, also.
Mr.. Poole left today for Bishop, aftel
completing certain business arrange
ments which he came to Goldfeld t,
make, and will remain in Bishop TO
some time.

SIGNAL PEAK TUNNEL
NOW IN OVER 700 FEET

The Consolidated lease on Signal
Peak is one of the busiest properties
in the south end of the district, says the
Seven Troughs Miner. The tunnel,
which is being driven on the vein to
cut the ore shoot which was opened up
In the Eureka lease by John Duke, is
now in about 600 feet. In this distance
several good punches of ore have been
run into but no attempt has been made
to follow them as the objective point is
stlll farther on. The tunnel Will cut
the Duke workings at a depth OF ooo
feet, which will give the property am
pie ground to stope.
