IMMORTAL ADDRESS OF
LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG

Yesterday being the anniversary
of Lincolns birth, it is quite APP
propriate to publish his immortal
address at the dedication of Gettys-
burg cemetery, delivered November
10. 1863 1t is as follows:
"Fourscore and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth on this
continent a new nation, conceived
in liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are Gre
ated equal.
Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that ma
ton or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield
of the war. We have come to
dedicate portion of that field as
final resting place for those VINO
here gave their lives that their
nation might live.
1T is altogether fitting and prop
err that we should do this. But, in
a larger sense, we cannot dedicate
we cannot consecrate, we cannot

hallow this ground. The brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here,
have consecrated it far above our
power to add or detract.
'The world will little note, nor
long remember, what we say here.
but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so noblv
advanced
1T is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remain
ing before us-that from these hon
ored dead we take increased devo-
ton to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devo-
tion-that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died
in vain-that this nation, under
God, shall have new birth of
freedom-and that government Of
the people, by the people. for the
people, shall not perish from the
earth"

BIG STRIKE MADE NEAR
BATTLE MOUNTAIN

A very rich strike was made this
week, about five miles west of town,
on a group of twelve claims owned
by Don Macdonald, Pete Nash and
associates, says the Battle Noun
tain Herald
While making a drift from a tun-
mel on one of the claims a thirty
three foot vein of ore was en-
countered from which assays have
been made and gives values from
$50 to 500 a ton.
In running surface crosscut $50
feet south of where this strike was
made, a seventeen-foot vein of good
milling ore has been opened up,
this vein is traceabfe. for a distance
of $500 feet.
This property lies between the
Bray and Boyd, and the Snow and
burst group of claims, and it is the
expectations of the owners that when
the development work is carried far
enough a very rich pay streak will
be uncovered.
1t is said by those who have ex-
amined the property that it will
prove to be one of the biggest
producers in this district

UNCLE SANS QUICK DELIVERY.

The following story comes from
Yonkers, New York:
Uncle Sam set new record in
rapid postal service when he de-
livered at Yonkers the other day a
letter sent from Geneva, n. Y, on
April 90, 1898.
Yonkers is just 335 miles from
Geneva. 1t took the letter seventy
two years to travel the distance.
Both the sender of the letter and
the man to whom it was addressed
are dead, the latter forty years ago.
Mrs. Walter Paddock of the old Pad
dock family of Yonkers received it,
She is a grand niece of b. Pad
dock, to whom the letter was ad-
dressed. He was in the lumber
business. Mrs. Paddocks had never
seen him.
The postman called at her home
with a postoffice department en-
velope. Within was the time yell
lowed sheet of paper. 1t was not
an envelope, for it was written
when envelopes were unknown. 1t
was folded square and the ends
turned in, and a postage stamp was
pasted across to keep them there.
The stamp was Cancelled and the
missive bore the date, Geneva, n.
Y, April 20, 1898 Beneath this
stamp was another one, which read
Syracuse, n. Y, Dec. 81, 1910.
No explanation of the delay APP
peared upon it. There was no mark
from the dead letter office. 1t prob
ably had been mailed by the send
er, who signed himself Whitney,
and had been mislaid in the post
office at Geneva to be found again
just now.
1t was in relation to a shipment
of lumber which Mr.. Paddock was
to make from Yonkers, and con-
tanned the information that $4,000
in payment would be sent on re-
ceipt of the consignment.

Are Ready to Start Sinking.

On the Griffith and McAuliffe
lease, in the opening on the east
portion of the ledge, a stringer CT
high-grade was discovered. They
are sinking, following the stringer
to ascertain the values in that por-
ton of the ledge. The showings
have been so good on all the out
crops that the leasers are undecided
as to where to sink. They are go
ing to give the whole of the ledge
a thorough prospecting before any
deep work is attempted, but from
the present indications the main
shaft will be sunk some fifty feet
west of the outcroppings, where the
values were first discovered.

ARRIVES FROM LAKE TAHOE.

c. A. Branch of this city arrived
in Sparks Wednesday from Lake
Tahoe, where he has been wintering
at Carnelian Bay. Mr. Branch was
taken i'll at the latter place, and
made the trip from there to Truckee
on skis, in a much weakened con-
dition and was supported on the
dangerous journey by n. E. Flick,
who arrived in Truckee with FROST
bitten ears and in a state of almost
utter exhaustion from his tremen-
dous exertions in assisting the sick
man over the trail.
This trip was the first to be made
from the lake by any man since the
great storm. At the waterside the
snow IS four feet deep on the level,
and at the summit it is twelve
feet deep.

Seventy Tons of Ore Monthly

The Bath Brothers lease, on
Litigation hill. still holds the record
as a steady producer. They are
turning out 70 tons of ore regu-
larry every month, and the force
is limited to the two brothers. The
conditions are ideal at this lease,
and it should have been called thc
poor mans" lease, as it IS a
straight chimney of ore, and it is
very seldom that any powde" is
used, as the ledge matter is so
soft that it can be picked to better
advantage.

Little Grey to Resume Sinking.

The retimbering of the shaft on
the Little Grey is about finished,
and from the present outlook sink
ing will be resumed next week. The
galloWs frame and hoist are in
place, and things are moving rapid
ly to the point where they will be-
gin blocking out ore. There is a
fine body of ore in the bottom of
the new shaft, and with the new
facilities that have been added for
the transportation of the ore, the
production will be handled very
economically. A new ore bin has
been erected at the foot of the hill
to the north of the mine, and when
the ore reaches the surface it will

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, October 20.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady, unchanged 1 point off. Cables were about as expected. After the call the market was sold free ly, much of the offerings coming from longs who bought cotton yesterday on the forecast of frost in the western half of the belt. No frost at all was re- ported anywhere in the cotton region which prompted the throwing overheard of contracts. A moderate amount of short selling was in view. Prices were forced 6 points under yesterda's close on the most active months and at this level fresh buying started which at the end of the first half hour of business put prices 1 to points over yesterdays s close on the most active months.
 The forecast of frost in northwest Arkansas and Oklahoma kept the ad- vance going until the trading months were to g points over yesterdays close The professional element was not much inclined to 90 short with cold weather still threatening the belt. On the rise scalping longs let go and toward noon offerings wers free enough 10 weigh against prices. At 12 S' clock the active positions were only to 4 points over yesterdays final quotations.
 In the afternoon session the market was very steady; no great amount of business was done. but buying orders predominated. At ? o'clock prices were g to 10 points oyer yesterdays close.

STRONG ADVANCE: !. IN WHEAT PRICES

 It was evident from the start that the pit supply of wheat would be too scanty for buyers comfort. This con- dition grew worse as the day pro- gressed being relieved only at rare in- terva1s and then not sufficiently to cause any material setback. The main reason was that it had storming through the northwest following rain over night. More unfavorable condi- tions could hardly be imagined for threshing the great quantities of wheat still remaining in the fields both sides of the Canadian line. Ploughing for which time had already been greatly shortened was given a further serl- ous handicap. In addition an increased demand for flour was reported in the southwest. especially and there were advices from Omaha that Minneapolis buyers were taking all the cash whea. offered.

STEADY TONE IN
