MAzUMA HAS / COSTLY RLlE

Nc Leans store and the post
office at Mazuma were destroyed
by fire, believed to have been of
incendiary origin, early last Tues
day morning. The store building
and stock, vaslued at Sc, 900, was a
total loss. All the records and sup
plies of the postoffice were con-
sumed.
1t is generally believed that the
fire was started by an incendiary
and that robbery was the motive.
After the fire had completely de-
stroyed the building a search was
made and the indications point
strongly to the fact that the build
ing was set on fire. In the cath
register was $50when the store was
closed the previous evening. On
examination after the fire the mon
ey was missing. There was some
money in a box under the counter,
but no trace Of this could be
found, not even the melted bullion.
There was some money in the post
Office drawer and this, too was
missing Humboldt Star.

WILDCAT Law IS UPHELD

The first test of the so-called
wildcat Law" has been made and
has resulted in the sustaining of
the law. The case wherein the test
was made was that of the State of
Nevada on the relation of R. C.
Moore VS.. Manhattan Verde Mining
Company. The decision was written
by Justice Sweeney and concurred
in by Chief Norcross and Justice
Talbot. The case was one of q writ
of mandamus to compel the officers
of the defendant company to stamp
the words Treasury Stock" and
Promotion Stock" as the case may
be, upon the stock of the company.
An act compelling this action
was passed by the last legislature
for the evident purpose of the pro-
lection of investors by the markings
on the stock telling what the money
p aid for the same was to be used
for.
The ruling Of the supreme court
defines the meanig of two classes
and states that Treasury Stock"
is such stock as has been set aside
for the actual development of the
property. In other words that the
money derived from the sale of this
stock will be actually used in the
development of the mining ground
of the company selling stock. PRO
motion. Stock" is such stock as is
issued to those who iimay originally
own the mining property or valu-
able rights connected there with in
consideration of their deciding the
property to the company when the
company is Incorporated, or it may
mean such stock as is issued to
promoters or those in some way in
terested in the company for services
rendered in launching the company,
such as advancing the fees for the
incorporation, surveyors fees, ad-
vertising, etc. The stock is of
equal value unless otherwise speci-
fled in the incorporation.

Deafness, Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed,
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when : it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

PROCESS REVEALED
FOR MAKING GOLD

Austin Granville,a mechanical
engineer, with Offices in the Temple
Court building, states positively
that gold can be created out of
chemically pure materials, but he
admits the process is so expensive
that it has no commercial value,
says a New York correspondent of
the Boston Herald. Moreover, he
makes no secret of the gold-making
formula, but frankly gives. it in
detail, with the suggestion that any
chemist can easily test its value in
his laboratory. Here it is:
"Place in a crucible, Dixon black
lead preferred, the following in
gradients: 6 assay tons of rolled
sulphur; 5 assay tons of anthony.
ground to a mesh of 100 fine; 2
assay tons lamp black or other car
bon; 2 assay tons of card teeth or
piano wire; cover with caustic soda;
Lutte on cover with ashes and fire
clay; bind with strong steel wire.
Place this in furnace for one hour
at not less than 1300degrees Faren-
heit.
Though anthony suffuses at 900
degrees Fahrenheit, 5 assay tons of
antimony will be found in button.
Grind this to 100 mesh just as you
would for ordinary assay; then
dress with chemically pure lead and
scorify and cupel. The result will be
a bead of almost pure gold, although
perhaps little silver will be found
with the button. This is parted in
the usual way and the amount of
gold determined"
The formula Mr.. Granville saws.
was used in experiments made
several years ago by E. C. Brice,
who made tests for a government
board appointed by Lyman ]. Gage,
then.secretary of the;treasury. The
cost of the manufacture, however,
was four times the value of the
product.
"Brice's theory" says Mr.. Gran
vile, was that sulphur contained
gold and was the matrix of that
metal, much Jas aluminus is today
obtained from bauxite. = Any
chemist who will try out the labora-
tory formula given herewith can
convince himself that Brice's pro-
cess was scientifically correct,
though one may doubt it's COM
mercial utility"

why He STOPPED
HIS NEWSPAPER

Men stop the paper" for a
variety of causes. Thomas Nelson,
who does business under the name
of "The Thomas Nelson Company,
Incorporated Stone House, Ne
vada, remarks that cit is always
sad to part with old friends; it is
a long time since began reading
your paper; but have advanced
or the paper has deteriorated; l find
myself out of sympathy with it. -
Then Mr.. Nelson states a specific
cause of complaint: 49,. -.
Just now it is popular to cry
about high prices. Did any one
ever see good times when prices
were low? Did any one ever seabet-
ter times in the world than we are
enjoying right now ? If SO, when?
Why not let we'll enough alone
Instead Of rejoicing at the plight the
republican party seems to be in, we
should feel bad. 1t means trouble
for the whole nation"
If the library resources of Stone
House include Guizot's History of
France,''Mr. Nelson can find there
in an exalted character who shared
his theories of political economy.
His name was De Calonne, and he
was minister of France in 1887.
His regimet is epitomized by Guizot
in these words:
Money was lavished; largesses
were multiplied; there was no de-
clination to be good natured or
complaisant; economy was made
the object of ridicul; it was daringly
asserted that immensely of expendi-
ture, animating circulation, was
the true principle of credit"
Of course, what happened in
France some two years after the
period that was so amiable and
pleasant seeming to M. De Calonne
and his prosperous friends isn't
going to happen in the United
States. People who predict for
this country an economic and
political revolution, accompanied
with violence, are as absurd as those
who stay awake nights fearing that
Mr.. Roosevelt is going to be a Marat
or Louis Napoleon. But that
this country must pass through an
unpleasant and drastic economical
experience in order to recover
from the conditions symbolized by
the present era of high prices is a
belief entertained by a good many
sound thinkers.-Collier's Weekly.

HOLLAND AND ITS TULIPS
Floral Charms of Today Revive
Memories of Ancient
SwlndIe.

In going from Amsterdam to Copenhagen,
Mr.. Roosevelt went from the scene of a
great swindle OF the seventeenth century
to the scene of an equally notorious swindle
IN the twentieth century. Conrad Gessner
had successfully transplanted the tulip from
Constantinople to Germany in 1859 In the
forepart OF the seventeenth, originating in
the Netherlands, the tulip mania" i'm
poverished investors all over Europe. AS
high as 1900 florlns-s5, 2OO-was paid for
one bulb of the species, known as Seminar
Augustus. Ownership, even in a single bulb,
was frequently divided into shares; there
was the widest speculation on bulbs not
yet In existence, by men who possessed
not so much as a square foot of land for
garden. Large quantities Of bulbs were
sold on paper, far in excess OF the num-
Der actually produced, When the crash
finally came thousands OF the spectators
lost all they had. II was a long time be-
fore tulip culture in Holland recovered from
the effects Of the financial disaster that
overlook the victims of the tulip mania.
| But when the sturdy common sense of the
people returned they set to work in sober
earnest to rationalize the cultivation of the
flower, with the result that today there
are 1900 recognized varieties grown in the
Netherlands and $4,000 pounds Of bulbs
are shipped every year 10 the United
