MT HerZberg has announced that
 he does not think it fitting that
 Phoenix be unrepresented in the Prescott diamond carnival and he has announced that in the absence of any other organized team in the city at the time at which the con- test occurs, that he will make ar engagements to secure a team and take it to the Mountain City. The lineup as it was given out yesterday was Delgado. pitcher; Pedro. catcher; Gri- jalva, first base; Hahn, second base; Scott, shortstop; Duhnson, third base; Glow, left field; Sullivan, center field; Quiros, right field. In addition to this number several men who have been playing with the team from Tucson will be ecured to furnish the extra battery and in order to replace the locals if the use of any substi- tutes is necessary.
 In addition to all of this activity in the baseball line Chas. Pishon, encouraged by the great success of the game which was played at Wick enburg on the occasion of the recent Elks' picnic to that point, is making an effort to secure a team of local Elks to take to Los Angeles at the time of the convention in order that they may show the people on the coast how the great American game should be played and at the same time advertise the valley from which the players will be chosen.
 With all of the men who are try ing to organize a ball team of some sort there ought, with concerted ef- fort in the fall, to be no difficulty in securing a team which will play here during the winter season and which will be a credit to the sports men of the city.

A Woman in Maine Calls Mi-o.na tn,
 Sunshine Presentation.

There never was such a marvellous prescription for stomach distress and indigestion as Mi-O-na.
 No doctor ever wrote a better one; it's doubtful if any doctor ever will. It's so good that Larson Drug Co. says money back if 1t doesn't cure.
 A woman in Maine calls Mi-O-na the sunshine prescription because she has seen so many sour, miserable aggravating dyspeptics turned into happy, cheerful, sweet human beings in few days by taking Mi-ona.
 The stomach is responsible for three-fourths of the nervousness and half the misery in the world A wO- man can have a first-class stomach and yet be miserable if she has a husband who is a nervous dyspeptie.
 But why not change pain to pleas ure; misery to happiness; dull eyes

ANOTHER STRIKE IS
MADE AT HAMMOCK

HAMMOCK, New, Nov. 18.-This
camp is wildly excited today over an
other rich strike found late last evening
on the Jones' MINIS lease four or FIVE
hundred feet from the original find.
The rock is in place, a clearly de-
fined vein, full of free gold visible to
the unaided eye, and that which shows
no gold pans freely, both in gold and
concentrates. Though it is not as rich
as the stuff taken from the glory hole
that attracted and riveted the atten-
ton of the mining world on this dis
trict, it carries values that run into
the thousands of dollars a ton, and
there is a whole lot more of it.

This is unquestionably the ledge
from which came the rich float that
has been picked up from time to time
on Treasure hill above the first dis
covery and for which a diligent
search has been made for several weeks
past. 1t doubtless extends into other
leases and can now be easily traced.
1t was found by an extensive system
of trenches and the high grade extends
to within not more than two feet of
the surface.
OF course, every one hereabouts is
elated, as a bright future for the
camp is now assured. There has
been considerable mouth to ear knock
ing of the proposition, that has had the
effect of stopping many people from
coming here, and has caused some
chronic doubters to leave. Now, how
ever, only a liar by preference viii

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, New, Nov.
18.-Through prospecting around Ban

district is one holding splendid posi-
bilities for gold as we'll as copper, lead
and silver production.

joining the holding company's shaft to

in the main shaft.
The Bannock Leasing company had
an assay of 1852 from some picked
samples out Of a new ledge uncovered
at the extreme end of their lease. So
far it is developed that the ledge is
over six feet wide. Some more of the
float showing free gold, such as set
things humming here a week ago, was
found on the same ground. This COM
pany has ten men at work, and they
will soon be ready to put the ore out

VAST AREAS OF ARABLE

state of Nevada, that needs but waite,
to make it as prolific as any in The
world, while the number Of people WHIT
realize the great amount Of water that
Nevada really has that may be used
for irrigation are ever less. In this
connection the following figures, com
pounded by Col. Maxson, one of the
first men in the state to actually irri-
gate lands, will be of great interest.

INDUSTRY IS PROMISED
A OF NEVADA
Careful Experiments By an Illinois Man Show That tn
Despised Sage Brush Contains Elements Of Great
Value. and Nay be Basis Of q Paying Industry

Some few decades ago certain rail
way builders, when applying to the
United States congress for land grants
embracing the area of a few states, as
reward for building a railway from San
Francisco to the east, diminished the
appearance Of their demands by stating
that Nevada, where a large amount of
the land applied for was located, was
nothing but sagebrush. and sand, fit
only for rattlesnakes and lizards -
Now, it appears, the despised sage
brush and greasewood, is a real asset,
and may in the near future be turned
into yellow gold.
For some time past the state board
of publicity and the state engineer q
Office have been e~ndeavoring to secure
capital for the manufacturing of vari.
GUS products from the sagebrush of Ne.
vada.
Over a quarter of a century ago
Thomas Edison when in Virginia City
remarked to some friends that the
Lord Almighty never put SO much sage
brush or anything else in one place un-
less he meant it for some economic use
Various attempts have been made in
the past few years to utilize the sage
brush. The late Thomas Wern expert.
mented with it and produced a very
fine quality Of tannin oil and Mr.. P. B
Ellis of this city mascerated it and by
treating it chemically produced a very
excellent quality of rubber. After
some Chicago people became interested
they asked for reports on the extent
of the growth of sagebrush in this state
and these reports were furnished by the
state engineer.
AS a result of the correspondence
ON the subject a company has beer
incorporated in Chicago known as the
Chemical Produce company with 9
capitalization of $150,0OO fully paid III
and non-assessable, with a view to put
up plants in this state for the extrac
ton Of wood alcohol, tar, creosote
pitch, acetic acid and charcoal.
A careful series of experiments dem
onstrated just what profit there is il
$4,000 tons Of s~agebrush. The yield
from that amount was $282,357 and tht
cost of producing the commercial pro
duets was $4,000, which gave a net
profit of $192,375. The yield per tor
averages something over $15.
These are cold figures from actua
experiments and means a great dea
to this state.

LEASERS AT HAMMOCK
GETTING GOOD RESULTS

The Walker lease paid first royalty
to the Omaha company.
The last shot on block Is, leased by
Hug and johnson, brought out a light
colored quartz closely resembling the
early quartz found in the big shaft,
and paintings produced any amount of
colors as well as several tiny nuggets.
This shaft is but IL feet below the
surface. In several places small par
ticles of rock show the free gold.
The tunnel driven by the Nevada
Omaha company to crosscut the main
vein carrying the rich ore is in 215
feet, and it is calculated ITO feet more
will reach the objective point. Four
veins have been cut tbs far, the two
last being on the Mayer-Reber lease.
They run diagonally across each other,
and there is a strong possibility, ac-
cording to the Judgment expressed by
experts as to the junction of veins in
this formation, that a rich deposit of
ore will be found at depth.
F. T. Ransom, M. D. Wetherell
and Joel W. West, officials of the
Nevada Omaha Mining and Milling
company, were in camp and viewed the
small mill grinding out the bullion
from the rich Limelight strike. These
officials were rejoicing over the great
showings of their property.

1t will thus be seen that there is
money in sagebrush and that Nevada
has much of it for future use as shown
by the following letter:
Mr.. Frank f. Hirsch, President,
Charles City College,
Charles City, Iowa.
Dear SIR
Replying to your favor of May Is,
concerning the growth of wood com
monty known in this vicinity as sage
brush, 1 cannot state authoritatively
as to acreage containing s%agebrush
within the state of Nevada, but l
would ~conservatively estimate the ,area
at three million acres, that could be
adapted to a commercial use.
In certain portions of this state the
sagebrush grows six to eight feet in
height, and having a base or trunk six
to eight inches in diameter. Immediate
ly north of Reno and extending north
erly in a direction of nearly one hund
red miles, there is a large luxurious
growth that could be readily obtained
for your use, and l will be pleased to
accompany any representative You may
in the future decide to send to investi-
gate the amount available.

MoIiere's Misanthrope.

A literary problem periodically de-
bated by lovers Of Moliere has been
the identity of that famous type OF
Alceste in the great dramatists lie
Misanthrope." The plausible sus-
picion that the character was sug
gested by the Marquis de Montausier,
Marschal de Camp and Governor OF
Comar under Louis Kill, and later
the preceptor of Louis XIV, would
seem to be henceforth beyond all
doubt in consequence of curious dis
covery made by NJ. Leon Lefebvre
during his recent examination of the
Colmar archives. He has found a
voluminous correspondence exchang-
ed between the Marquis and the town
officials, and he noted in the COVER
nor's letters several passages virtual
ly identical with the well known
verses of lie Misanthrope." He con-
cludes that Montausier was Moliere's
model. The demonstration of his dis
covery is to be found in a study pub
lished in the Correspondent, under
the title lie Drame de Tame Asa

Defeat Of a Ferret.

Tell a man that he hasn't the pluck

Yet the taunt lis a libel on the rab,

In defence of her young. She will
charge like a hattering ram and uss
those long sharp iBcisors of hers to
capital purpose.
An old buck rabbit is not to be
lightly tackled by weasel, stoat or
even ferret. On the sanded floor OF
a small public house near Chestnut
a ferret of long experience was
matched with an old lopeared buck,
the property Of the landlord.
The ferret made straight for the
rabbits throat, but the latter wa.
in the air before master ferret could
reach him, and leaping clean over
the ferret's head let out with those
powerful hind legs OF his kick which
hurled the ferret bodily against the
wainscot. Twice the ferret returned
70 the attack and twice he missed his
grip and went hurting through the
air
The third repulse was enough for
him. He knew he was beaten and
could not be persuaded to stand up
