on more than one occasion, j. a fine Stimulant for
all parts Of the west in that it stirs the blood
If professional mining and starts capital into

strict attention to state boundary lines seems
little small for any community The revival Of
mining in Nevada eight or nine years ago fol-
lowed it by the opening Of many new
districts, unquestionably Of benefit to the
whole mining fraternity wherever operating His
tory may repeat itself and the npft Of the
west may again be observed as an incident to the
discovery Of Cripple Creek or a Tonopah
Just now there j disposition upon the part
of many mining TO overcome the lethargy
IN the sphere of mining investment by centering
their efforts upon one or more well chosen dis
tricts and bestirring the public mind to the
Importance Of opening something new in the
gold line. Assuming that stimulus is worth
having at this time, it is hardly becoming Of any
body Of citizens to elbow its state patriotism to

It would be very nice thing to have another

PROPHECY AND PERFORMANCE.

When Colonel Roosevelt declared seven months
ago that an effort 10 force his candidacy for the
republican nomination would be calamity, he
uttered about the greatest truth that has come
out Of Oyster Bay since be returned from Africa.
For he has plunged the republican party, which
had hOnored him, into almost hopeless muddle.

and the nomination campaign IS yet bat two

who then persuade himself that either of
them viii have much chance in the final election
And for this the Colonel IS largely TO blame
and the more because he foreeasted il before he
got into il. Here Is his statement Of the
situation:

Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Mason gath
cred at the depot this morning to
wish them bon voyage, and all the de-
lightful things possible to travellers
by land or sea. Except for the lack
of COW bells, rice and old shoes, one

their honeymoon.
When they left Hesperus a cou-

to stand on. The whole town turned
out to bid the travellers Good luck"

not rest in any position, owing to
pains in my back and at night there
was a steady ache across my loins.
