arises as to the use of church bells.
Their utility was long ago given up.
Their beauty is still defended by some.
But in the end the discussion comes
back to the question of location. In
the country, where distances are long
and sounds are softened, church bell
is still enjoyable. But in city street,
where hundreds and thousands are
close by, the sound is to most of them
a noisy clangor.
1t has been decided in Washington
that boys who play marbles "for keeps
are gamblers in the meaning of the law
and liable to arrest and punishment for
SO heinous an offense. 1t is cheering to
the law-abiding of the nation to know
that in it's capital the gambling laws
are so strictly enforced, though us the
particular boys in question were
released with q lecture, there is grave
doubt about the propriety OF letting
loose such dangerous criminals on the
community.

particularly at Tuscarora and Aura, and
any news from that region is of in
terest.
At Lime Mountain, between Tus-
carora and Aura, and situated about
ten miles from the Aura King mines,
some California capitalists have secur-
ed the old mines there carrying values
in copper, gold and silver, and are
preparing to open them up on large
scale. g.. ~.'
Chief among the enterprises con-
templated is snelter which will be
commenced in the near future. This
will be of great benefit to that whole
region, as no doubt the operators will
purchase all classes of ores, and it will
also hasten the building of branch
railroad connecting that region with
the main lines of the Southern Pacific,
and the Western Pacific roads.
The whole mining region of Aura is
feeling jubilant over the commence
ment of this enterprise Ex-
