Moving Time.

Moving Time.
Have you ever noticed how
the years shorten as you grow
older? In olden times when we
were younger than now, a year
seemed an age, but now it is
hardly begun until it is finished.
First comes Valentines Day, on
February 18th; then May Day,
and Decoration Day, and then
independence Day, July 4th, in
which young and old celebrate
the glories of our country, and
then for the people of Harrison
county, comes Old Settlers Day
and before we are aware o; the
fact Christmas is upon us, and
this old world has made its 365
revolutions around the sun, and
we have finished a year in the
journey of life, a year of such
haste that we have not had time
to note the speed of our gait in
the journey. Like the old lady
said to her hired help: 'Here
it is Monday, tomorrow is Tues
day, and next day is Wednes-
day-half of the week gone
and no work done yeti"
Yes, time flies with the rapid
| ity of thought; the world moves
and we are all growing old, but
we must admit that things have
changed greatly during the past
fifty years. We have very of
ten thought that we would like
to return to old mother earth,
after we have passed over the
mistic river and been gone for
a hundred years, just to note
the mighty changes made in
that time; we imagine things
in general would be so different
chat we would hardly recognize
our home here, and none
then living would remember us,
nor would they believe us if we
told them of the conditions that
existed on earth one hundred
years ago. We could only guess
by what has transpired during
the last hundred years.
Well, we have lived anyhow,
in a fast age have lived to see
people fly through the air with
wings, and talk by lightning, to
travel under the deep, deep
sea, have sent a Cook to the
North Pole, and elected William
H. Taft to fill the position once
honored by George Washington
and Thomas Jefferson. That is
enough for one life time. Can
the next hundred years beat it?
Everything is on the move
we live now more in one year
than we used to live in two. and
some of us live so fast we will
not live out our allotted days,
but some, no doubt. finish their
journey before all the improve
ments are completed.

T M Gilmore, City Clerk.

Clinton Herald: 1t isdoubtful
whether we have enough of the
right kind of athletics in our
schools. Every student should
be compelled to participate in
the athletic sports, taking up
such sports as his physical and
nervous condition will permit,
but the school authorities should
exercise absolute supervision
over all athletic sports pres
cribing the rules and regulat-
ions and giving just as much
heed to the sports as they do to
any other branch of school work
In this manner rowdyism Gamble
eliminated altogether, and the
moral tone of the schools can
be advanced very materially.

Mining MdgndteS
Visit RdWhide

Malcolm Macdonald, accompanied
by Charles Kirchen and one of his
field men, arrived in Rawhide Sun
day night last to keep an appoint
ment with Charles Wesley Reed,
president of the Rawhide Western
railway, who has lately taken an OPP
ton on the Coalition estate here for
eastern capitalists. On account of
important business engagements, Mr..
Macdonald vas obliged to leave Mon
day morning, but he left his associ-
ate, Mr.. Kirchen, here to visit the
mines With F. A. Gowing, an engi-
neer of San Francisco, who has re-
Gently been associated with Phelps.
Dodge and company Of New York as
mining expert to Mexico and Peru,
and who is also a representative of
the purchasing syndicate.
1t is Mr.. Maedonald's intention to
return here the latter part of this
week, and he will probably remain
here several days to check up the
reports and observations Of his field
men who it is stated will probably be
here from three to four weeks before
finishing their work. C. w. Reed, as
well as E, w. King, president of the
Coalition and Queen estates, accom-
panied Mr.. Macdonald out as far as
Reno Monday, it being their inten-
ton also to return here the latter
part of the week.
Before leaving the east for Raw
hide Mr.. Reed and associates asked
Mr.. King by wire If he would set a
40c per share on the control of the
Queen estate and received a mega
tive reply in return, and 1t is very
likely that the Reno trip has some
thing to do with the Queen property.
Rumor has 1t that II the coterie of
engineers who are now here expert
ing the above mentioned estates re-
port favorably that the deal for the
control of the Coalition and possibly
the Queen estates also means the
building Of the Rawhide Western

Dividend May
be Declared

A great deal Of interest is now be-
Ing conferred around the doings OF
the Combination Fraction, but no lu-
cid Official statement can be secured
to throw any amount Of light IN pres
ent underground conditions or the fu-
ture intentions of the company. It Is
admitted, OF course, that about 1000
tons Of ore, averaging around $40 are
being treated each month for the
Fraction company at the Nevada
Goldfeld mill, and considerable high
grade is also being shipped.
Just how much smelling ore is be-
ing shipped Is an unknown quantity
so far as official statements are con-
cerned, but il Is currently understood
among certain persons who are gem
orally well informed, that the output
of shipping ore is considerably in
excess Of what the Fraction manage
ment is inclined to allow the public
to believe. In fact, It Is asserted
with apparent authorization that
there is four feet Of ore that will run
5000 a ton opened on the 430-level,
from which heavy shipments are be-
ing made.
II is also understood that the Frac-
tion people are hopeful OF being able
to connect with at least a small por-
tion Of the new ore shoot in the Com
bination No. /, believing that It may
strike or dip into the Fraction ground
at a depth of 600 to 500 feet. Under
the vertical sideline agreement that
now exists, the Fraction would be en-
titled to all Of the ore within It's
boundaries, and could follow It to
great depth. \ diamond drill will be
used to prospect for this ore shoot at
depth, and It is said that drifts are
now being driven with three shifts on
the 430 and coo levels to reach the
Combination shoot.
Inc annual meeting OF stockhold-
ers in the Combination Fraction Is
scheduled for next Monday, April 8,
and It is generally believed by those
who have been able to keep inform
ed on the plans of the company, that
a dividend will be declared. The out
put for March was close to $780, 900,
and there is strong probability that
the representations of a dividend are
well founded-Goldfield News.
