The Vallejo Group.

The Vallejo group of claims, Sit
uated about three miles east of
Thorne, are showing up in fine shape.
These claims are owned by Mrs.
John Hennessy and Ed. Powers.
Dick Powers, who has been doing
the work on the claimcs, reports
that he has exposed four-foot ledge
of high grade galena, carrying about
$l4 per ton in gold.
Ed. Powers and Mrs. Hennessey
have owned these claims for about
four years, and have spent consider
able time and money in order to
hold them under the mining laws.
Now the owners are in the pay,
and, according to an expert from
the famous Belmont of Tonopah,
have the nucleus of a big mine.
This group is situated between the
Catalpa Companys claims and those
of the Thorne group, owned by
Peter Fox and associates.

Our Summer Resort.

Frank Klnghorn reports that
many people in Goldfield and Tono-
pah are anxious to visit Walker
Lake during the hot summer months.
The Tonopah and Goldfield Rail
road Company is considering the
granting of one fare for the round
trip from Goldfeld, Tonopah and
Miller's to Nina, and has asked the
Southern Pacific to grant the same
concession from Nina to Thorne.
This arrangement would enable
Goldfield visitors to spend Saturday
afternoon and evening, and all day
Sunday and Sunday night at the
lake, and arrive home Monday after
noon. Our friends to the south fully
realize that Walker Lake is their
natural resort for a cheap outing,
with no great loss of time.

The Mccormick Lease.

Ed. Haller was in town yesterday
He reports two feet of rich ore $50
foot level of the old Mccormick lease,
but says the inflow of water is so
great that it cannot be handled with
the pumps now in use. The increas-
ed inufx of water is caused by the
shutting down of the Mountain King
mine. When the pumps in the latter
mine are in operation the water in
the Mccormick is easily handled
with the pumps now there
Mr.. Haller says work will proba-
bly, be resumed early in July in the
big lease, and then he will proceed
to make hole in the Mccormick ore
body.

Old Nevadan is Stricken.

A few days ago Colonel Suther-

apoplexy in a New York hotel. He
had varied career as mining pro
moter. One day rolling in wealth
and the next day broke. He was
the king of Nevada plungers, and
his nerve was limitless. He was once
ordered out of Candelaria by mob
who threatened TO lynch him if he
was in town another hour Not long
afterwards he came back with half a
million in his jeans to invest in Can
delaria. He was met by the de-
lighted citizens with a brass band
and rendered a banquet.

coMMoN DRINKING CUP
IS A GERM SPREADER.
Now Jersey Legislature and Chicago
City Council Have OutIawed It.

Beware Of the common drinking cup
or glass. the one used promiscuously
In public places or in shops or offices
where many persons are employed.
This Is the advice of physicians all
over the country. The common drink
ing cup Is a germ spreader, the doc
tors say, and many diseases are trans
mitted through its use. For nickel
anybody can buy glass tumbler or a
tin cup for his own private use, to be
kept at desk or work bench and used
during working hours instead OF the
vessel from which scores drink water.
Recently the state legislature OF New
Jersey has passed 81 law prohibiting
the placing Of drinking cups for gem
eral use in railroad stations, stores,
workshops, factories. office buildings.
etc. A penalty Of S25 for violation OF
the statute is prov ided.
The city council Of Chicago also has
taken similar action by passing an or

IMPORTANT HISTORICAL
FIND IN CALIFORNIA.
Digger Indians Baked Pottsry-ralI
Skeleton Unearthed.

Ethnologists will be interested In
discovery made by Assistant Curator
William Altman Of Golden Gate Park
Memorial museum-namely, the fact
hitherto denied that the Digger In
Hans OF California were acquainted at
least With the rudlments OF pottery
making. Until now no pottery OF Dig
ger Indian manufacture has ever been
found, says Altman, and therefore
he highly values the find he made In
an Indian burial mound at Concord.
In Contra Costa county.
From an excavation made by work
men in the employ Of the Port Costa
Water company have been found
large number OF Indian relics of great
age, including the specimens Of crude
pottery already mentioned and the
skeleton Of an Indian giant more than
seven feet tall. The skeleton is In pos
session Of Or. Neff Of Concord. who is
mounting IT for exhibition. The pot
terry specimens consist of charm stones
Of baked clay OF spindle shape and
pierced so that they may be suspended
from the neck by cords In addition,
there. are a. large number Of knives
and arrowheads Of obsidian. or or vol
canic glass which is extremely rare
IN this, paTt- Of the state. state .and leads to
the belief that they were brought
down by Shasta or Modoc Indians and
traded for other thingsasw the Dig
gers OF Contra Costa.
A striking peculiarity about these
arrowheads is their shape and pat
tern. They are notched in a very
painstaking way with Jagged division
and resemble very much some Of the
weapons Of Filipino savages. A stone
mortar and several phallic pestles
carved with considerable skill and pre-
cision. stone sinkers for fishing and
artistic pipes made Of soapstone, to-
gether with quantity Of wampum.
are among the souvenirs secured by
Assistant Curator Altman, the donor
being Joseph Hittman of Concord.
The mound from which these relics
were taken is close to the railroad
depot Mt Concord. The work of exca-
vation ia stall going on. and more In
tereStlnG finds are looked for.

Good Work Done by Organizing Chit
dren In Snohomish, Wash.
About year ago Mrs. n. 8. Nc
Cready, president of the Cosmopolitan
club Of Snohomish. Wash, appointed
Mrs. L. d. Stokes superintendent to or
ganize the Junior Civic league in the
Emerson school. The pupils in the foux
rooms In that building did some very
efficient work In destroying Eoxious
weeds. such as the Canadian thistle.
Mrs. r. A. Small. principal Of tho
Central school, was made superintend-
ent Of the league in her building. Talks
were made to the pupils on sanitation
and neatness. and they were urged to
begin the good work in their own
homes. The pupils were required to
give written reports Of the work done
Out Of number Of 500 children In the
building 315 reported work done. This
work appealed to the city council, and
Mayor Wood set aside one week In
April US cleanup week The children
from both buildings were Of much help
during this week. Rubbish was put In
convenient shape to be carted away at
the city's expense
To Judge from the large number ol
barrels. boxes and heaps Of useless
stuff In sight the first day Of the haul
ing away, Snohomish was much In
need Of this cleanup.
No work was attempted during tho
summer when school was not tn Sea-
sion, but on the opening of school Mrs.
McCready came in person and talked
to all the children, and urged them to
continue the good work She gave each
pupil card ON which this pledge was

NEW PHONETIC LANGUAGE.
lightning Communication by Means Of
Elemental Sounds.

Elemental Sounds.
A student OF phonetics and philolo-
". NJ. ]. NJ. Chappaz Of Mieussy,
France. asserts that. like the chemist
who has reduced compounds to ele-
ments. he has reduced all spoken
words Of civilized languages to their
elemental sounds. and by those sounds
he purposes to invent method of
rapid communication hitherto un-
known. He writes of the proposed In
vention as follows:
IAN instantaneous language, con
sisting Of new phonetic method got
up by fcrty-three polyglot professors
of divers countries. enabling all the
inhabitants Of the world to pronounce,
read. write. SPELL print. lithograph,
telegraph. type and telephone on the
spot all local. national. colonial and
international languages. including Es-
peranto. with their pure accent and
without having studied them. and to
understand and speak these languages
Infinitely more quickly and more cor
rectly than by the ordinary methods"
In explaining this miraculous inven-
tion the author says that it is based
on the principle OF reproducing the
same sound by one and the same let
ter in all languages In which 1t oc-
curs." He asserts that the forty three
polyglot professors have discovered
that the sounds in all the languages
In the world are reduced to forty five.
and consequently all that is required
is to represent these forty-tive sounds
BY forty-tive separate symbols. com
posing universal alphabet.
