THE FUTILFTY OF
HUMAN ACHIEVEMENTS

When one stops to reflect on the
futility of human achievements, -
laughed Miss annie Russell, in THE
Stronger Sex" sit reminds me of an
eulogy l recently heard, that went
like this:
'Tenderly she laid the silent
white form besides those who had
gone before. She made no cutlery,
she did not weep. Such moment
was too precious to be wasted in
idle tears. But soon there came a
time when it seemed as if nature
must give way. She lifted her voice
and cried loud and long. Her cries
were taken up by others who were
near and it echoed and re-echoed
over the grounds. Then suddenly all
was still. What was the use of il
all? She would lay another egg to-
morrow"

NEVADA'S COAL MINING
. INDUSTRY IS ASSUMING
LARGE PROPORTIONS
Anthracite Mine at Coaldale Has AZ
Inches of Excellent Coal at Depth of
2O8 Feet---Will Soon Start Shipping
Its Product to this City.

The coal mining industry of Ne
vada is fast assuming a proportion
that will eventually place it among
the topnotchers in the state The
coal mines at Coaldale are now ex-
tracing coal that is nearly an equal
to the Rock Springs article. H. C.
Petty, a pioneer mining man of this
district, was in town yesterday from
his property, which is located about
six miles from Blair Junction, and
states that he will start shipping his
product here Immediately. Mr..
Betty located this coal some seven
years ago and shortly after that
started sinking on one of the veins.
On the surface there are seven par
allel veins which average in width
from eight to eighty feet. He now
has shaft down about 208 feet, and
at the bottom there is about forty
two inches of excellent coal In
speaking of this property yesterday,
Mr.. Petty stated:
81 have had a thorough analysis
made of the coal and find it contains
81 per cent carbon, one-half of one
per cent sulphur, and $4,000 cubic
feet of gas. At the bottom of the
shaft the entire vein is about twenty
feet wide, but it is my intention to
ship only the best to Tonopah and
Goldfield, and the shipments will
come from the forty-two-inch streak
from which l had the analysis made
From the indications l should have
at least seven or eight feet of cool
anthracite when the shaft has reach.
ed twenty feet more in depth. The
grade has been increasing greatly
from the 15O-foot level down an6
there is no telling what amount o.
the best grade VIII be found at an
other 100 feet.
3 The capacity of the mine at pres
ut is about fifteen tons day, bu
when have first-class hosting
plant in operation, over fifty tom
daily should be mined easily.
II have induced a number of tn,
business houses of Tonopah to ALLOW
me to send them a small shipment o
the coal to try in their furnaces, ant
when they see that it is really goot
then I will start in and make regula
shipments, not only to Tonopah blu
to Goldfield The cost of transports
ton is small as the railroad will hau
it for $3.50 per ton and the expens
of taking it to the depot at Blai
Junction will not aggregate owe
50 ton According to this the con

FIRST WOMAN NATURALIZED.

The first case of woman being
naturalized in this state since the
adoption of the new naturalization
law, took place in Carson Friday.
when Mrs. Kate Boerlin, the mother
of Commissioner Boerlin of Esmer-
aldo county, renowned all allegiance
to the Swedish crown and swore to
support the constitution of the
United States Attorney Sam Plat
of this city represented the govern
ment in the action. Mrs. Boerlin has
filed an application for homestead
and it was necessary for her to be-
come citizen of the United States
before true title could be acquired.

juries and judges. by the intimida-
ton of wealth. by all that dishonor
prompted by greed could contriye
and could hire to be accomplished.
the veritable assassination of truth,
the plumber and pillage of govern
ment and the corruption of men and
of the institutions of men. affording
the extra lateral right" to impose
financial ruin at the very price OF
human souls.
The damnable statute is in fit as
ISOLATION with vicious land laws, un-
der which a billion and half acres
of the peoples heritage have been
stolen, the machinery of whose OPP
GRAFTON is to the honest entrymen
ruinously oppressive, while affording
political scoundrels immensely of re-
turns.
The processes of nature are going,
are alive, are repeating variably.
There is no such thing as completion.
When a form has reached limit of
given direction it straightway begins
dissolution and resolution into an
other form. Trere are incomplete
things and many, right here in Cold
field are halfway stages Not all
the silicas have hardened down to
quartz, those silicas once in flow,
which had their "gelatinous stages,
and whose half resolution is in the
tales that partially fill these veins,
whether mineralized or not.
There will be many a Pioneer mine
found where no evidence has yet
been recognized. There is no re-
ducible rule. There may not be even
duplication of condition. There will
be constant surprise. Persistence is
worth more than experience in this
vast virgin field of limitless POSSIBLE
tiles, and where so far as disclosed
there is not a resemblance to typi
cal vein or any vein.
GoIdfield needs an exodus of wise
men and an influx Of cornhuskers
who will dig holes anywhere, whC
will reject all advice, and will MAKE
Beacon Hills here as they did a
Cripple Creek.
