An ironic CLEAN appeared in the cor

ly. All at once the tall American girl
was impressed by the wistful, almost
humble look In the Englishwoman's
eyes, an appealing look that caused
her to wonder not little. Like a fash

NOT IN ALL THINGS GROSS
Mechanical the Age May Be, But II
Has the Best Of the Spirit Of
the Past

Ours. says a veteran theater mana
ger gloomily, is a mechanical age, In
which less and less is left to the hu-
man factor, to originality, individual
ity and the spirit. Ours is, indeed, a
mechanical age, but 1t is not an age
that dispenses, or is at all likely to
dispense with charm, beauty and the
things OF the spirit, To the broader
yision--like that of Wells-a mechani-
cal age is an age "set free" an age
that has more time for study, contem-
plation and right living. There is no
reason why vulgarlty and gross mate
rialism should capture the wonderful
mechanical devices Of the age; and
there is plenty of evidence that "the
spirit" is busy trying to utilize the
same devices. Automatic players have
brought music-and good music, too
into tens of thousands of homes In
small towns and rural districts. The
movies are doing wonders. They will
soon become an adjunct OF every
school, museum and cultural agency.
They will democratize science. They
will make dry" studies attractive.
They will steadily elevate the stand
ards of popular entertainment, annex
ing the spheres OF romance, adventure
and beauty. Our mechanical age en-
ables polar explorers to take music
along with them. but has 1t killed the
spirit OF polar explorations? Our age
has given us aeroplanes, but has 1t de.
stroyed the spirit OF the airmen? Is
our age deficient in courage. benevo-
lence. appreciation OF natural won.

Sara that she had said unkind things

The Hollow of Her Hand.

nc TIOllOW OF Tfer ndnus
When Booth called In the afternoon
at Sara's apartment, he was met by
the news that she was quite Ill and
could see no one-not even him. The
doctor had been summoned during the
night and had returned in the morn
ing, TO find that she had a very high
temperature. The butler could not
enlighten Booth further than this

her symptoms than for anything else,
he believed. At least, 30 the doctor
had said.
Two days passed before the dis

That there is more activity in the

eral Kyle than for years past, is the
statement recently made by that
official.
Previous to the money stringency
of 1907, there was great mining ac-
tivity in the state, which lessened
considerably from that time ON.
At this time, however, interest is
picking up rapidly, as evidenced by
the great increase in orders for sur.
veys which is keeping the office OF
the surveyor general busy.
The significance of these orders
lies in the fact that the claims in

ed previous to filing the orders, are

HOLD INQUEST
over REMAINS Of
VIM. CORBEIT
VERDICT is IN ACCORDANCE WITH
FACTS PUBLISHED ABOUT
MiLLMAN'S DEATH

That the deceased came to his
death from some unknown poison,
administered in an equally unknown
manner, was the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury that today investigated the
death of William Corbett, the bat
teryman of the Desert mill at Mil
lers, who succumbed Monday even
ing while being conveyed to this
city for treatment.
The inquest was held in the office
of Justice of the Peace Atkinson
by Judge Barnes of Goldfield. As
the death occurred in Esmeralda
county it was necessary that the in
quest be held by coroner from
that county.
The testimony adduced was prac
tically the same as was presented
in the Bonanza of last evening
which gave complete account o
the affair. Corbett, at the concil
sion of his shift in the mill, retur,!
ed to his home and complained @
being i'll. He was attacked will
nausea and stated he believed h
had accidentally partaken of part
cles of cyanide of potassium. H
lapsed into Inconsistencies and ar
tidotes were administered.
Dr. Mcleod was summoned froI
this city and after providing trea
ment placed Corbett into an auto
mobile to rush him to the hospits
here. When about a mile and
half outside of Millers Corbett SUI
cumbed.
The funeral of the unfortunate ma
was held this afternoon from the S
Marks Episcopal church. the Re
Chas, Gallup officiating at the ser
ices. The interment was in the loc;
cemetery,
