A Girl and a Snake,

1t Is matter of fact that men have
greater fear of serpents than have wo
men. During a visit to friends In the
country l was crossing n stretch OF
meadow In the company of my hostess
daughter, sprightly girl of seventeen,
when black snake crossed the path
ten feet In front of us. caught my
companion by the sleeve, but she
wrenched herself loose, gathered her
skirts about her knees, gave a running
jump and landed sQuarely upon the
back of the reptile. His snakeshlp
thrashed the grass and the girls ankles
with equal futility. AS soon as she
could disengage one foot she planted
1t upon the serpent's head. In the alb.
sence of club or stones l was com.
PEELED to stand and witness scene
that to me was terrifying, but to the
girl furnished supreme enjoyment.
Years afterward when l read Hag
CARDS description of Jess fight with
the kangaroo l understood the kind OF
entertainment that my young compan.
ion had provided for me.-Brooklyn

coated with saffron favored whipped
cream
with each course you drink raki.
If, getting drunk, you get miserable

CONTRACT WITH ENGINEERS
Lehigh Valley Makes Agreement For
Wages and Conditions For 1910.

Wages and Conditions For 1910.
New York, Dec 21.-After confer
ences with committee representing
the engineers, the Lehigh Valley Rail
road company has made an agreement
covering The wages and conditions Of
work of this class of employees for one
year beginning JAM 1, 1910.
The company's previous contract
with its engineers expired just before
the panic of 1907. New demands
were presented then, but the company
pointed out that the unsettled bust
ness conditions at that time made II
impossible to grant them. Conse
quently 1t was agreed to let the mat
ter rest until conditions would show
some improvement.
The contract just signed grants the
men a working day of ten hours.
Heretofore the working day on the
Lehigh Valley has been twelve hours,
whereas the ten-hour rule has pre-.
vailed upon the other railroads in the
same territory. The reduction in
hours is the principal adjustment
made in the present agreement The
questions in relation to the classifca-
tion of the heavier engines and other
minor questions were also satisfactor.
lily adjusted.
The conferences were characterized
by perfect good feeling and the com.
pany and its engineers are on the
most friendly terms.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
THE controversy between the par
tisans of Peary and Cook is a dis
grace to the name of American man
hood and to American science
We fail to see the truth in either

In the first place, is there such a
thing as American science?"
In the second place, how can the
ACTORS of any two men, be they
who they may, wherever born, how
ever reared, regardless of what has
been accomplished or what the
manner of personal conduct, dis
grace American manhood?
How can anything disgrace me,
with which | have had nothing to
do. and how can your separate act
interfere with my good name and
standing when at no point it touches
me?
Neither Pearv nor Cook represent
ought save themselves in their eff
forts their successes or their coun-
ter calumnies.
1t is well to know that American
manhood is not dependent upon the
reputation. utterances or acts of any

ARLINGTON GRILL oIENs

Wills Brougher opened the new
grill in the Arlington hotel this
morning and it is a fine place, the
finest eating place ever opened in
this city.
The new grill is in the front of
the building, in the large room for
merly occupied by the Kelly store.
1t is larger than the old dining room
and is prettily decorated and as
fresh as fresh paint and new paper
can make it.
Three walters were kept busy dur
ing the noon hour and Brougher was
on hand to see that everything went
off well. White cooks and walters
lend an additional charm to the
place. 1t will be run as first-class
cafe.-Carson Appeal.
Now that first-class grill is in
evidence in Carson it is to be hoped
that the transient guest will be
served first when his order is in
ahead of late patron who enters
the grill a half hour later. The
Arlington grill has been conducted
on the plan of playing to the favor
ties. 1t is to be hoped that the new
management will eliminate this fav-
oritism and first come first served.

RHYOLTTE. Oct 5.-The crosscur
Wonder shaft has exposed a width
of 80 feet of ore assaying $14 in
gold per ton, with the opposite wall
aot as yet in sight.
The crosscut is large one, IL
feet high, and this immense lateral
is all in ore of this quality. The
crosscut is being run toward the
hanging wall
The shaft was sunk on the first
ledge in place discovered on the es-
tate. and is proving up one of the
largest ore bodies on this wonder
full property The greatest width of
ore in the upper workings, where
the rock is quarried out Of the side
of the mountain, is 81 feet. only two
feet bigger than the crosscut from
the shaft
IN the drift from the 100 foot
level the ore is continuous, and is
of about the same quality through
out. This shows that the ore body
is one of great magnitude. alone suf-
ficient to feed the mill for a long
time
Superintendent Homer Wilson es-
Inmates that without the ore in sight
in the shaft workings, the old work
ings will produce ore enough to
keep the mill running for two or
three. years.
1t is interesting to note in this
connection that several of the quartz
I 0utcrops on the Keane Wonder es-
tate have not as vet been pros
rected or drawn upon for any ton
mage OF ore. although a sampling Of
the outcrops shows good values.
The Whipsaw claim contains, it is
believed equally as much ore as
the claim ON which the principal
worl- has been done. The reserves
at the Keane Wonder present great
possibilities.
The mill returns for August were
for only $4,000, the quality of the
bullion having been lowered on ac-
count of the sulphide ore which was
then in evidence. Mr.. Wilson ex-
pee 8 the September returns to be up
to the standard.

NYE COUNTY
MEN EFFECTIVE
WORKERS

1t has not been intended but it is
certainly fact, that in giving credit
to those who made the mineral eX-
h1bit success the proper eminence
has not been given to the work of
Fl. c. Schmidt. member of the state
commission, nor to that of Branch
fl. Smith, one of the official collec-
tors. How this came, we are at a
loss to understand unless it was that
their work was done at a distance
and not under the observation of
The Goldfield papers.
Both Mr.. Schmidt and Mr. Smith
are from the adjoining county Of
Nye. Mr. Schmidt Is president of
the Tonopah Promotion association.
He was the unanimous choice of the
citizens of Tonopah for the Nye
county member of the committee,
and Goldfield heartily seconded the
choice, and the governor made the
appointment He gave much time,
thought and work to make the ex-
hibit a success. sacrificing more than
some others in his attendance upon
committee meetings by reason of his
distant residence. He made Tono-
pah day distinct success and was
generous in his work for Goldfield.
Branch Smith did much of the
hard and effective work of collect
ing the mineral exhibit. He tray
eled over many of the northern
counties and by his good judgment
and knowledge of the demands of
the exhibit and by his wide popu-
Iarfty among the people he was able
TO accomplish much that would have
had to he left undone had another
attempted his work He brought to
the mineral palace the best individ-
nal specimens of ore to be seen at
the entire exhibit; and his profes-
sional knowledge and geitlemanlv
instincts and bearing were much APP
nreciated among the visitors during
che exhibition.
Mr. Smith has large acquain-
rance among mining men ard with
