THE GENTLE CYNIC

Every woman travels under an
assumed name when she marries.
When hope dies the devil sends
out invitations to the wake.
Many a man who feels that the
world is his oyster fails to open
the shell.
Lots of people who are cocksure
of going to heaven are in the
wrong pew.
If other people really knew
themselves. how terribly bored
they would be.
The man who trades a load of
trouble for a load of cheap
whiskey makes a poor exchange.
The truth is mighty and will
prevail, unless superior induce
ments r offered the other way.
You may suggest with all
propriety that a bride and groom
are installed in their new home
without suggesting the installmcnt
man.-New York Times.

SHIPPING ORE
FROM LEADVILLE

An event of much Importance
10 the mining men of Washoe
county was brought to light yes
terday when it became known that
j. F. Harnan, the well-known min
ing man had made a shipment of
two carload, of very good ore
from the camp of Leadville, says
the Reno Journal. The ore is ex-
pected to run at lesat 500 a ton
when the assay returns arrive and
there is every indication that the
mine at Leadville will eventually
become a large producer of lead
and silver. The ore runs heavy in
lead, the last assay showing as
much as 25 per cent of lead ore.
The camp of Leadville, accord
ing to Mr.. Harnan. promises to be
a busy place before long. He has
been working two shifts on his
claims and is down 800 feet.
The camp is, at least Is miles
from Reno by the most convenient
method of travel, a fact that
illustrates the size of Washoe
county. The Western Pacific will
have much to do with the develop
ment of the northern section OF
the county. as the ore is now taken
thirty-nine miles to Gerlach,
where it is sent via the Western
Pacific to Salt Lake. A short
wagon route is planned that will
make the distance to Gerlach
twenty-five miles.
Mr.. Harnan is also heavily in
terested in the Seven TrOughs
district and has done a very large
amount of development work
there. 1t is reported that he is at
present engaged in negotiations
which will again put Reno in the
limelight as center Of large mining
deals.

FIRST CHINESE DIVORCE
GRANTED IN UNITED STRTES

Mrs. Josie Dung is divorced
from Dung Hung. the one
wealthy resident of Denver's
China town. She is probably the
first Chinese Divorce in the United
States and one of the very few of
the slant-eye daughter. of the
celestial empire to have her name
enrolled in a divorce court.
The ground for the divorce
that Judge Allen gave her last
week was social ostracism. The
customs of ner race require it.
This cultured, educated woman
was cohdemnd as a ve-itable
pariah. There are two children.
Both parents want them and at all
accounts want them very badly.
Dung Is one of the most respected
Chinese in Denver.
Mrs. Dung says her marriage
was arranged by her parent.
They sold her to Dung for $3.50.
Eighteen years ago she lived in San
Francisco. Lack of love is given
as the grounds for divorce. He
was 20 years her senior, she being
but ii years of age. while he was
81 at the time of her marriage.
She claims all he wanted her to do
was to work and further claims
he hae a wife in China to whom he
sends money annually.
Mrs. Dung claims that what
little money she obtained from him
was gotten by theft.

MAKING A SALOON FIGHT

Information has come to us that
the liquor interests of the county
are making an organized effort TO
elect men TO the senate and
assembly Who are oppo,e ed to
further restriction Of the liquor
traffic. If this is the case, we
believe the saloon men are making
a & rcat mistake. Instead Of OBJ
posing just and reasonable re-
stictions of the liquor traffic.
they should favor such d measure.
For the time is coming in Nevada
when the people will demand that
the number Of saloons be limited,
according TO the population of a

TESTED AND FOUND TRUE

There is a well settled opinion
among a good many that an effort
will be made during the coming
session of the legislature to repeal
the antI-gambling law. A
despirate effort is being made to
defeat George Mcintosh and John
Schoer for the assembly and E. C.
Riddell and II. II. Coryell for
state senators because they sup
ported and voted for that law.
The question now comes directly
before the people and they must
pass upon it at the ballot box If
the people of Elko county want
the anti-gambling law to remain
on u statute books, they should
vote for Coryell, Riddell,
Mcintosh and Schoer. They stood
by the better sentiment of the
people in the last legislature and
those whose wishes they carried
out should stand by them now.
Let us do our duty to the youth
of the state and return these men
to the legislature. They have
been tested and found true.
