MINERAL COUNTY MINES
COMMAND ATTENTION

There is considerable increase
in interest in the mining develop
ment of Mineral county says the
Ha"thorEe Bulletin. At no time
within the past three yeas have
so many men been engaged in ac-
tive prospecting and depvelop-
ment work in this district as at the
present moment. and we are glad
to note that gratifying results are
being obtained on many properties
which have lain dormant during
that time.
Esmeralda county has long oc.
cupied leading place in the pro
duction of precious metals. and
when the county of Mineral was
set aside, less than a year ago.
from Esmeralda, the new domain
was known to embrace a vast area
of undeveloped mining ground. to-
gethe' with such proved AID pro-
ductive camps as Aurora, Lucky
Boy, Columbus, Pamlico, Big Injun,
Candelaria. Marietta, La Panta,
Garfield, Pine Grove and Gillis
Mountain. These camps have pro-
d. ed many millions of dollars, at
a time when the output of what is
nov Mineral county was exceeded
in this State by the famous Com
stock only.

A SAGEBRUSH REMOVER

+. a. Remington Of Lake, Ore.
gon, has inventd a saGcbrush re.
mover which promises to reduce
the cost of romoeing the uDdesir-
able plant from raw land about
80 per cent. The arrangement is
simple being modelled much like
an old fashioned stock or ped rake,
as uscd to gather the product into
windrOws.
The remover not only gets the
plant from the roots up, but stirs
the ground TO n depth Of from .
to 6 i5chcs, thus distributing the
veRetaho.c mould and forming n
new bed so that when the land is
plowed deeply IL is in fairly good
shape, as far as initial work is
concerned to plant and get crop.
The device cost Mr.. Remington
about $50, and with four horses
he is able 20 handle from five to
ten acres Of sagobrush a day.

OF
CRIME DUE TO LIQUOR

Chief Justice Ben Hill of the
state court of appeals of Georgia
in deciding the appeal of Will
Langston. young man convicted
of man slaughter for killing his
father. said that three-fourths of
the cases that go to that court are
due directly or indirectly to the
excessive use of intoxicating
liquors. The opinion. says the
Atlanta Georgian, is as strong as
any sermon or temperance lecture
against the evils of drink. In it
Justice Hill says:
"The facts of this cas- present
another of the daily occurring
instances showing the monstrous
and measureless evil of intoXicat-
ing liquors. This hydra-headed
and rcmorseless monster, with
ceaSeless and tireless energy,
was ties the substance of the poor,
manufactures burGensome taxes
for the public. monopolizes the
valuable time of courts, fills jails,
penitentiaries and asylums. ruins
homes, destroys manhood, terror
ICES helpless women and innocent
children, battles the church, and
mocks law, and answering its in
eXorabe demands. each new morn
new widows mourn, new orphans
cry. new wrongs strike heaven in
the face.
These are the products of a
curse imposed, not by the decree
of God, hui self-inflicteu by the
voluntary conduct of man, its
weak and wicked victim. Judges
OF criminal ourts. speaking
from off exerience. have grown
weary calling attention to the
drink habit as the principal cause
of crime, and nothing the writer
coul = say would add to the
manifest truth. But can not
refrain fro n saying that after Eve
years observation of the cases that
have been before this court,
thrce-fOurths of the crimes are
due directly or indirectly to the
excessive sue of intoxicants. and
that if the church and the state and
public sentiment could ultimately
make Georgia sober, the prisons
would be vacant, the chain-gangs
empty, and the cities, towns and
country would be filled with
prosperous and happy homes"
Will Lang5ton, a nineteen-year-
old youth, killed his own father
who had come home beasty drunk
and drove his sick wife, the
youths mother from her bed into
the night. The youth resented
this treatment Of his mother. The
father frenzied with liquor, cursed
his son, knocked him down, cut
him with a knife and threatened to
kill him.
The son then picked up q stone,
used as a door prop. and hurled it
at his father. it striking him on
the head and killing him. He vas
tried and convicted of manIaughter
and appealed for new trial, but
the court of appeals could find no
error on which to send the case
back to the lower court. Conse-
quently the decision was affirmed.
