SALT LAKE MAN TELLS OF
W1NNEMUCCA MOUNTAIN

Thursdays Salt Lake Herald Repub-
lican has the following to say regard
ing the Shiveley and other contiguous
properties on Winnemucca mountain:
While there have been no new
strikes or startling developments the
past few days in camp Shiveley, five
miles northwest from Winnemucca.
still conditions there are exceedingly
good, according to K. C. Woolley, who
returned yesterday from Nevada. Sink
ing Is o well under way on the fifty
foot winze being sunk from the eighty
level of the Shiveley property. The
winze is going down in the country
rock, and was twenty feet in depth
when Mr.. Woolley left camp Tuesday.
BY prosecuting fifteen feet from the
bottom the vein should be picked up.
This will probably be in ten days. If
the values continue to this depth, it is
understood that large interests have
signifed a willingness to go in and
make a mine Of the Shiveley.
Mr.. Woolley reports that the Winnie
mucca Mountain North-End group,
owned by Salt Lake people, is going
at WORK as it it meant business, and
not only that, but Superintendent
William Rea said on Tuesday that he
had struck some rock in the new shaft
which will pan. This was unexpected,
as the shaft is being sunk in the ande-
site, a short distance from the vein.
This andesite is exactly like that at the
Shiveley. This shaft is being put down
On real mining lines, and the inten-
ton is to carry it to the $50 to 200
level from which crosscuts will be sent
out for the vein. Mr.. Woolley reports
prospects indeed good on the North
End.
"Bob" Montgomery has secured a
lease on the Ryan-Mason group of four
claims. which lies on the north of the
Chase group, owned by Mr.. Woolley
and associates. All these properties
are said to possess more or less the ear
marks of future gold-silver producers.

this truly great man has accomplished

Naturally, Napoleon was attracted
to the great general who led an army

campaign of almost unparalleled vicis-

much after they left him. When the

soldiers. who. like him and the Amer
leans, bravely fight for liberty and
equality. The first consul, in conse-
quence, orders that, for ten days

the standards and flags of the repub-

At almost the same time the Ga

In the time of the directory it would
have been imprudent to announce.
Now, the heart may with confidence
abandon itself to all the generous

RRT0O THE weakness of hu.
man nature, perhaps, may
be attributed the fact that
people are more likely to
admire a brilliant fall
ure than solid. substantial success.
And to this, also, may be attribut-
ed the additional fact that, of all the
heroes of the Revolutionary period,
posterity has been inclined to dwarf
the stature of Washington.
For time his biographers tried to
transform him into saint. Obvious
ly impossible, this, because, above all
things else, he was man among men,
a figure in his time which, SO far as
obtained to his personality, was not
unlike that of the late King Edward Of
England-prone to human weaknesses,
but at the same time a gentleman of
rare tact and dignity.
After 1t became apparent that Wash
ington was not saint, the trend Of
opinion was to consider him a re-
spectacle numskull, creature Of cir
cumstances, who managed by luck
never to do the wrong thing. At the
same time, men who, in his day. took
minor parts were exalted into heroes
of the first rank, largely because Of
their fondness for epigram and that
further weakness of the general pub
lie, which would rather scent out a
hero Of its own than acknowledge to
the greatness of the obvious, outstand-
ing figure.
All of which would indicate that the
time has about arrived when Wash
ington should be rescued from his
Ibiographers.
Moderation and determination are
the two dominant characteristics of
which time has not robbed Washing
ton. OF them, the first is the one
which has deprived him of a great
deal Of the appreciation which has
been lavished ON less deserving char
acters.
Whatever the vices of the man. they
were always held within respectable
restraint. Whatever his virtues, he
never gave them undue prominence.
So it is that, after more than
century, there has come a tendency
to depreciate the ability of the one
man who, more than any other, would
naturally be exalted. For a long time
1t was held that his fame was tar
nished because he swore real oaths
at the battle Of Monmouth. That was
succeeded by the present epoch,
which has chosen to regard him as a
lovable gentleman. with enough horse
sense not to make a fool of himself
and, by series of events over which
he had no control. to become the ia.
Their of his country.
And yet it Is doubtful IL another
character of the age is more to be
admired for its many-sided excellen.
cies. As man. warrior and statesman.
Washington yields to no figure of his |
time.
What place Washington held. in his |
own day. must now become a matter |
Of interest. Shortly after his death. |
Felix Faulcon voiced the opinion of
the French parliamentarians when he |
addressed the legislative assembly as
The tomb has claimed him who
was the model Of republican perfec-
ion. This Is not the time to trace all

A Towel Shower.

A towel shower for recent bride
was both practical and acceptable
There were IL intimate friends, sc
they each contributed the price OF a
towel and the hostess purchased one
dozen OF the same pattern with the
large papier-mache letters and cotton
for marking.
On the afternoon for the Shower
all came witk their thimbles and
each girl embroidered letter on a
towel, 80 when refreshments were
served II beautiful pieces of linen
were placed before the bride.
Just a word as to the wearing quail
ties OF these papier-mache letters,
concerning which there seems to be a
divided opinion. Personally. | have
found them most satisfactory. having
used tablecloth and napkins for nine
years that are marked in this manner.
II they are closely and carefully
worked they will outwear the original
material and that is all that is neces'
sary.
The refreshments consisted Of lob
ster salad, hot cheese sandwiches, cof'
fee olives and sailed nuts. A relative,
who knew OF the shower. sent two
guest towels, a pair OF bath towels and
six wash cloths.
