shippers. The strike was made eff
to the left of the tunnel at a point
in about SIS feet. with a depth of
225 feet. About three inches of tale
lying along the side wall of the tun-
mel was cut through exposing twenty
inches of high grade ore. The aver
age assay value across the entire vein
were: Gold, $3.50; silver, $13;
lead, 81. Other assays taken were
considerably higher. one return
showing $103 in gold, $13.75 silver
and 81 in lead per ton. The ore is
in place and shows every evidence of
permanency and increasing values
with depth. The strike has created
much excitement here and the ore
which is on exhibition here would
increase stampede anywhere else.
The result of the strike has increased
activity in the development of the
surrounding claims.

tanning cyanide was on the dresser
and plainly showed the manner in
which the end came. The suicide
had taken blanket from the bed
and placed it neatly over the white
spread, but in the death struggle his
body had rolled to the floor.
An examination of the deceased
few effects revealed no trace of evil
dence as to whether he had wife
children or relatives to mourn his
loss. A letter indicated that he was
expecting money from Mrs. ].
Smith, whose address is unknown but
is probably Los Angeles. Not a cent
was found in his clothing.

WABUSKA COPPER
Mine real Thing

The Wabuska Copper mine is now
to be classed with the big mines of
the Yerington district, The develop
ment of the 500-foot level is show
ing this property to be whale. The
south drift is in full breast of ore.
The crosscut is into ore for thirty
feet. The general copper content is
better thanl3 per cent for the whole
distance. Drifting is being continued
in the ore. Every foot of working is
showing the ore body to be improving
in content as we'll as size. The de-
velopment of this very large ore
body, located as it is in the north
end of the district, means that the
district is something immense in
length and width and much larger
than originally supposed to be. Those
holding stock in the Wabuska are to
be congratulated. The property is
actually demonstrated as very big
mine comparing favorably with the
Nevada-Douglas, Bluestone and Ma
sonic Valley mines.
The property is to be equipped
with a large compressor, larger hoist,
pump, ore bins, ETC., for more rapid
development and big production.
Being an ideal fluxing ore, large div
lie,

new BURGLAR
ALARM DEVICE

A German has invented burglar
alarm which prevents night Prov
Ter from entering window or door
without arousing the dead.
This appliance has been thorough
ly tested by the police authorities of
Dresden and Berlin, and the most ex-
perienced criminal experts were I'M
able to find flaws in the apparatus,
or to enter INFO the protected prem
ises without starting the alarm. The
appliance itslef is very simple, con-
sisting of curtain or portiere, wired
with fine conductors. At certain
places on the curtain are affixed
small metal knobs which are con-
nected with the wire conductors. The
curtain is then drawn across the
window or door, or around the safe,
and the slightest disturbance of this
position Immediately breaks the cir
cult, as the metal knobs are thrown
out OF contact With each otner.
Should the burglar notice the wires
and cut one or several thereof, the
breaking of the circuit would also
start the alarm. Any other attempt
destroy the protecting curtain
would also be noticed. Any curtain,
unless made of fireproof material,
would also act as a fire alarm. The
alarm itself may consist of series of
bells, lights, or other electrical ap-
planes. This invention can be used
to protect doors, windows, safes, ETC.,
and naturally the curtains, forming
the most conspicuous part of the de-
vice, can be designed and arranged
to suit individual taste.

not suppressed. Their needs. their

too soundly democratic to fail In this
manifest duty. lnefficiency. idleness

first school teacher In the history of

there were nine scholars present, all

Just little strategy TO accomplish

Sharp.
There was nothing imposing In the

an adobe roof. and containing one
door and a lone window, 1t answered

the United States has total of about

feet depth and over and more than

creaseh this lack of organization.
Our INCREASING commerce de-
mands that our waterways snail be
made an active part of our trans
portation system" says the letter.
-Our inland rivers are not so now.
Waterways themselves and their con-
ditions must be so improved that they
shall carry a share OF the nation 8
traffic proportioned to their real pos.
abilities, and shall so supplement the
rail system as to prevent the recur.
