Round the feet of messy stumps;

new system of street railway con-

was to form the car wheels without
fanges, but instead to place the
fanges on the rails. The new con-
struction was ably presented and
many good arguments were brought
forward to show the superiority OF
such a system over the present one.

CHINESE BURGLAR WHO is UP
TO-DATE.

The first Chinese aeronaut has
made his appearance and probably it
will not be long before others at
tempt to excel the feat of the pioneer.
This man had not made the idea OF
t. conquest of the air his hobby, but
he had probably seen the descent of
Ivy Baldwin's representative in
parachute, and had thus recognized
another means of eluding the police.
He gained entrance to the second
floor of a house in Temple street,
Yaumati, and was engaged in gath
ering all the valuables he could lay
hands on when a woman entered the
room. She screamed for help, but
the thief did not wait for its arrival.
Opening large Chinese umbrella
he leaped over the veranda and, ac-
cording to the woman, landed lightly
on the ground, and jumped over the
praya wall into the harbor. The po-
lice were early on the scene, but the
thief was not caught.-Hongkons

AN INDEsTRUCTIBLE SNAKE.

Snakes on the pampas OF South
America have many enemies. Bur-
rowing owls feed on them, and so do
herons and storks, which kill them
with a blow of their javelin beaks.
The tyrant bird picks up the young
snake by the tail, and flying to.
branch or stone, uses the reptile as
fail until it's life is battered out. The
large lizard of the pampas, the
iguana, is a famous snake-killer. 1t
smites the snake to death with its
powerful tail. Mr.. Hudson, in his
Naturalist in La Plata" tells this
story:
One day a friend of mine was rid
ing out, looking after his cattle. One
end of his lasso was attached to his
saddle, and the remainder of the
forty-foot line was allowed to trail on
the ground.
The rider noticed large iguana
lying apparently asleep, and although
he rode within a few inches it did not
stir. But no sooner had the rider
passed than the trailing lasso at
tracted the lizards attention.
1t dashed after the slowly moving
rope and dealt it succession of vio-
lent blows with its tail.
When the whole of the lasso, sew
eral yards of which had been pounded
in vain, had passed by, the iguana,
with uplifted head, gazed after it with
| octopic bmoDt Never had such a won
derful snake crossed it's path before.

THE BRAVEST ACT.

Colonel William F. Cody declares
that one of the bravest acts he has
ever seen was at the battle of New
Hope Church, Georgia, OIL May 27.
1864. Major John M. Farquhar was
the man whose act Conolel Cody
deems worthy to be set down beside
any that history has ever recorded.
The story of the brave deed is printed
in the Washington Times.
At that time Major -Tarquhar was
provost marshal of the third division
of the Fourth Army Corps Of the
Army of the Cumberland. He was
detailed by General Thomas J. Wood,
commanding the third division, to
carry an order to the colonel of the
Thirty-second Indiana Volunteer In
fantry.
He started to execute the order,
but found the way so obstructed by
Confederate forces that he could not
get through except by making wide
detour. To do this meant defeating
the plan of the commanding general.
There was little time for him to
think. The despatch was in his
hands; he was responsible for it's
safe delivery. Failure meant defeat.
Major Farquhar realized these things
as only soldier can.
In front of him stretched the wall
of the Confederate breastworks.
| Without an instant's hesitation he
urged his horse up the side of the
breastworks, and under the fire OF
ten thousand muskets used the top
for a bridle-path for a distance OF
about one hundred and fifty yards,
until he found a place where he could
continue his journey without danger
of being again halted or hindered.
Mental, moral and physical bravery
were required to accomplish what
Major Farquhar did. He never lost
his mental balance, else he would not
have been so quick to think of a way
out of the difficulty. The knowledge
of the responsibility placed on his
shoulders made him morally brave
AS for the physical danger, no man
could dare more than riding hun
dred yards under fire on the top OF
the enemy's breastworks.

THE FAIRVIEW EAGLES
PAYS 6 FOR |

A. II. Howe of Goldfeld, secretary
of the Fairview Eagles Mining com.
pany, has sent to stockholders the fol.
lowing notice regarding the merger
with the Nevada Hills company:
I'm pursuance for the consolidation
and homogeneous operation of the
Fairview Eagles Mining companies,
suggested and agreed to by majority
stockholders of each company, you are
respectfully invited and requested to
send your Eagles stock 10 the under,
signed to be exchanged for stock of
the Nevada Hills company at the ratio
of one share of Nevada Hills for six
shares of Fairview Eagles stock. In
cases where the amount of Eagles stock
sent in for exchange is not equally
divisible by six, Nevada Hills stock to
an amount as near one-sxth as posi-
BILE will be issued and the remaining
odd shares of Eagles stock will be
purchased at the closing market bid
price on the day the stock is received
at this office.
1T is believed that single ownership
and operation of the two properties
will be highly advantageous to both,
and an early response by stockholders
70 the foregoing request will be ap-
preciated.

WONDER Mines
SOON RESUME

There is general activity in the Won
der mining district following the com
meneement of construction of the Ne
vada Wonder company's mill, num-
ber of companies having already re-
sumed work and others preparing to
start. With both water and electric
power brought INTO the district, opera
tions will not be under the heavy hand
leaps they have labored under in the
past.
Notices of a special meeting of
stockholders of the North Star and
the reorganized Alice. Mining company
of Wonder have been sent out, the
meeting to be held in Goldfeld on
July 18th. At these meetings the two
companies will elect a new, directorate
and arrange to finance a resumption of
operations on their properties.
The North Star property in particu-
Tar is regarded by mining men as
most promising piece Of property. A
good deal of development work has
been done, on this ground, and it will
probably not take great deal of
work to put it on producing basis
as soon as milling facilities are at
hand
The Alice of Wonder is trifie far
ther out, but has excellent showings,
and the work that has been done has
yielded gratifying results. All an
nual work on the two properties has
been kept up, and as soon as the
mill of the Nevada Wonder nears
completion active development work
will be started. Arrangements are
being made to place big block of
North Star treasury stock at good
figure, to give initial working capital.

ORC LETS CONTRACT
FOR SINKING

The New York Gro Corporation which
has n lease on the ground of the Gold
field Orc Mining company is going
ahead with development work in a
manner which augurs wei! for the fu-
ture of that property, which mining
men generally in the district feel is an
especially rich spot. This week cen
tract was let for sinking the main
shaft $50 feet below the depth OF 275
feet which had been attained when the
present leasers took over the ground.
Messrs. Kilker, Daley and McLaughliE
are the contractors and their work
should be completed within about forty
days. The full extra depth will be
sunk no matter what is encountered on
the way. Two shifts are now on the
job.
The leasing company is also drifting
west from a prospecting shaft down
about thirty-five feet. This work is be-
ing carried out for the purpose of max
ing study of the vein system and
promises to aid the general mining ma
terially. While the management hopes
to encounter the Red Top vein the sur
face indications are that IN the prop
crty there is regular network of
veins, anyone OF which may develop
into a glcat showing.
On the strength of tine work being
pursued and the general feeling in
camp that some day the Oro property
will become a great mine Orc stock has
been much in demand of late an, has
accordingly.
