ASHEVILLE WITHOUT WATER.
Storm Tossed Tree breaks The Big Main
Of The GraVitY Line.

Asheville, Dec. 26.-Drinking
water in Asheville tonight is at a
premium. The city's supply has
been off since 8 O'Clock this morn
ing with no prospects of any water
through the gravity line before
near %daybreak tomorrow. "Wa-
ter for breakfast is the best that
can be promised" was the state
ment of a city official this even
ing.
The trouble with the city's
gravity line is at what is known
as rock cut" a distance of prob
ably fifteen miles in the noun.
tains. During the storm and
high winds of last night or early
this morning a tree was hurled
across the 16.inch main and broke
it. The wind and storm also put
the private telephone line to the
intake out of commission. The
telegraph and lines to Black
Mountain were likewise down for
a time and the officials here we're
not aware of the location of the
trouble until 4:30 O'Clock this
afternoon, although heroic efforts
had been made all d-yt- End the
trouble, at first it being supposed
that there was an ice jam at the
Intake.
When the supply began running
low with no news from the intake
line walkers were started from
here walking the line through the
mountains. It was bitter cold
and progress was slow. The
trouble was reached during the
afternoon by one of these walkers
and then half-frozen the line

est telephone and sent in the in

way came to the assistance of the
city, rendered a special train te

It is nearlythree miles from Swan

of that distance fully a mile must
be walked, the men packing theil

take another four hours for the
water to come from the intake in
to the city.
Every prscaution against fire is
being taken tonight. The city is
reserYing an emergency supply Of
three hundred gallons but it is
realized that if a bad fire should
occur with a strong wind the
situation would become desperate.

Advices from Battle Mountain are
that another discovery of bonanza

the strike had been kept quiet, al

Cheer FOR
THE man Who
IS BROKE

The lives of the very wealthy are
at best wearisome and frought with
worries and cares which those in
humber circumstances know not OF.
The burden Of great wealth under
mines the strongest constitution in
its care and responsibility. How
ever, the ambition for honest ac-
ouirement of riches is laudable
one and seems to be inherent with
most men who possess red blood in
their veins. But it is the chase and
not the quarry that makes the game
worth while. In other words,
st isn't the money and it isn't the
fame,
Its the lure, the lure of the game, =
| that keeps humanity eternally peg
ging away for the almighty dollar
and the comforts it may bring.
However, the following statement
coming from Andrew Carnegie seems
to ring true, and even if it doesn't
portray the actual condition of the
millionaire it may act as a sort OF
balm to those who are not burdened
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1909-09-07

with too much of this worlds goods.
Mr.. Carnegie says:
Comrades, l was born in poverty,
and would not exchange its sacred
memories with the richest million
aires son who ever breathed. What
does he know about mother or faith
er? These are mere names to him.
Give me the life of the boy whose
mother is nurse, seamstress, washer
woman, cook, teacher, angel and
saint, all in one, and whose father
is guide, exemplar and friend. No
servants to come between. These
are the boys who are born to the
best fortune. Some men think that
wealth leads to happiness. What dc
they know about it? They only
know enc side; they imagine the
other l have lived both, and
know there is very little in wealth
that can lead to human happiness
beyond the small comforts of life

DELAMAR NINE CLOSING

One of the hardest blows that has
fallen on a Nevada mining camp in
some time is the order which is said
to have gone out for the closing of
the Bamberger-Delamar mine and
mill at Delamar, New. For some
time rumors have come from that
camp that it was the intention of
the management to close the prop
erty and that the shut down would
be permanent. While no informa-
ton can be obtained at the local of
fees of the company, it was learned
from a source that is believed to bt
authoritative that orders have beer
sent out to close everything in con
rection with the mine.
When inquiry was made at tn
local offices the management de
clared that it did not wish to dis
cuss the matter, but that it was tru
that the mill was being closed dowr

THE BITE OF A DOG

Il want to say few words about
hydrophobia, said physician.
"When an animal bites through
clothing there is little or no danger
of infection. The virus is on the
teeth of the animal and when the
person bitten has received the bite
through a layer of clothing there is
little danger.
THE virus on the teeth is left in
the clothing and is not communicate
ed to the person bitten. Rabid dogs
or other animals are not like rep
tiles. They have no hollow teeth
through which poison may be corl
municated directly into the systeE
of the victim.
Therefore, when a supposedly
rabid dog bites person, if the bir'
lis not on an exposed part of Tho
body he should have no fear. =

ORE TESTS FOR
The PROSPECTOR
1HOW THEY MAY DETERMINE
PRESENCE OF VARIOUS
MINERALS

Judging by the number of worth
less samples submitted to assayers
to be tested for various metals, and
by the act that valueless minerals
are oten supposed to be valuable
ores, it is evident that many do not
realize how easily some elements
may be detected. Naturally a pros
peter cannot be expected to burden
himself with the equipment of a
chemical laboratory, but an outfit,
consisting chiefly of a few chemicals,
blowpipe and spirit lamp adds lit
tie bulk of weight and may be of
inestimable service.
The purer the substane to be test
ed the better, and, should the min
eral be scattered through the rock
in fine particles, it is usually we'll to
first concentrate it by pulverizing
the sample and then panning in wa
quently dried and if necessary
ground finer. A clean six-inch fry
ing pan is very convenient, both for
washing and drying what is left.
Gold ores, when crushed and pan
ned, generally show either free me-
tallic gold or suphides, or other con-
centrates containing gold, which
however, is not visible. If these
sulphides be roasted over a fire al
a dull red heat on thin sheet-iron
say piece of tin can, and then re
ground in a mortar to polish thu
gold, the metal in many cases will
be plainly seen on panning again
Should the material be oxidiZed, AM
when powdered and PANIED, shoy
nothing but the magnetic oxide 0
iron, commonly called "black sand,
the sample is apt to be worthless 0
very low grade, for the writer's eS
perience leads him to believe thai
as a general thing, the black san

carries little or no gold. The drie
black sand can be readily picked II
with a magnet.
Greenish rocks are sometimes mis-
taken for ores of copper, whlc

Pour into a test tube, say half a

SECRETARY WILSON.

Advices from Washington indicate
that President-elect Taft had decided
to retain "Tama Jim" Wilson as secre-
tary of agriculture. This will be good
news to the agricultural interests Of
the country, as they fully appreciate
the wonderful work Secretary Wilson
has done. 1t is generally felt that it
would be but to add another to the
list of mistakes made under the name
of reform to remove man whose work
in recognizing and making effective
the operations of the department Of
agriculture has added millions to the
national wealth
Alfred Henry Lewis, writing in the
Chicago Examiner, gives the credit for
defeating the efforts to remove Secre-
tary Wilson to the farmers of the
country. "In his cabinet making"
says Mr.. Lewis, "Mr. Taft has not
languished for advisers. He has had
Mr. Lodge, Mr.. Knox, Mr.. Hitchcock
and Mr.. Hammond, and now this
quartet Of counsel has been augment
ed by the addition of the farmers of
The land, of whom, putting 1t modestly,
there are round 100000"
Mr.. Lewis in expressing the hope
that the present secretary will be re-
taineesin the cabinet recalls a bit of
history that shows Mr. Wilson's
calibre. He says:
Back quarter of century ago.
when General Grant lay dying at
Mount McGregor, bill was pending
before congress to restore him to his
old rank at the head of the army. The
great soldier lay on his bed of death;
speed was necessary or it would be
forever too late.
The Democratic minority in the
house where the bill was being CON
