WOODEN SHOES MADE
IN THE UNITED STATES

In this country beech is the favorite
material for wooden shoes, the manu-
faeture of which has reached consider
able proportions in the United States,
according to the department of agri-
culture, which has just issued a bulle-
tin on the use of the wood These
shoes, the department says, cost from
60 to 75 cents pair and are good for
two years. tney are worn by those
who have TO work in cold or wet
places, such as tanneries, breweries
and livery stables, aud by workmen
must walk on hot CRATES or floors.
Farmers, 100, are elassed among the
users.
Beech wood is put to a very much
wider range of uses than the average
person would be likely to suspect. The
department says beech enters into
hundreds of articles from hobby
horse rockers to butchers blocks. We
walk on beech floors, eat on beech
picnic plates, carry beech baskets,
play With beech toys, SIT ON beech
chairs and in dozens of other ways
use articles made of beech almost ev-
cry day of our lives. Its freedom from
taste fits the wood especially for arti-
cles which come in contact with
.oodstuffs, and beech meat boards,
skewers, lard tubs, butter boxes,
sugar hogsheads, relrigerators, dishes,
spoons and scoops are widely used.
Only one species OF beech grows
naturally in the United States but few
trees in this country have a wider
comemrcial range, 1t extends from
the Gulf of Mexico into eastern Cana
da, and in practically every place
where it grows il is cut for market.
The total yearly output of beech wood
in the United States, is approximately
500 million board feet

VARIONo WAYS OF MAKING
DAYLIGHT ARRTlFICIAILY

Various cabinets, lamps and lights
to produce daylight have been manu-
faetured, but none has stood the test.
In this latest invention a cabinet is
employed. The cabinet is constructed
in various sizes, but the one which is
most convenient is eighteen inches
deep, thirty inches wide and twenty
eight inches high.
An incandescent gas light is placed
at the top of the cabinet. There is
metal reflector to throw the light
downward through the delicate
screens which filter out the rays of
red, orange and yellow, which are for
eign to daylight except in small way.
In other words, the screens extract
from the light excesses of these colors.
The invention has a great field of
usefulness in surgery and certain in
dustries. Surgeons depend upon the
color of the tissues to tell whether
they are diseased or not. A great deal
of surgery is done at night. In artifi-
cial light the tissues have not their
true color. The invention Sill remedy
that, in that operations may be per-
formed by aid of daylight at any hour

TAKES LEASE ON PROP
ERTY AT GOLD CIRCLE

At uold Circle, where the Elko
Prince mine was recently sold for
100000, Assemblyman t. Parker Lid
dell, of Battle Mountain, has taken
lease and bond ON the Rex property of
three claims and 30-stamp and tube
mill with cyanide plant in eonnec-
tion. He is associated with Burt How
ell, of Mercur, Utah. His brother,
Charles A. Liddell, of Virginia City,
is associated with him and Howell in
lease on the Colorado Grande prop
erty adjoining the Rex, on which there
is a good showing. Howell and Lid
dell expect to mill considerable of the
high grade ore in the Elko Prince.
They have made tests on it showing
SO per cent extraction, some of them
going as high as 96 per cent. In the
Elko Prince, an ore chute 700 feet
long, a erosscut in its center with
long tunnel of 700 feet. Drifts each
way were followed by l00foot winze

the left, from the bottom of which
short drift is added to the develop
ment work. Values in the Elko Prince

EAGLE DRUG co. OBJ
SERVES UNIQUE CUSTOM

Some years ago the Vinol fraternity,
of which the Eagle Drug company is
member, originated the idea of
having a National display week of
Vinol and companion products, semi
annually.
This Vinol fraternity must be
quite an extensive organization, for
returned travellers tell of the wonder
full window displays of Vinol which
they have noticed in their travels
through Canada, Cuba and as far
away as South America.
The Eagle Drug company is now
preparing for Vinol week, which be-
gins October 9th, this year. Their
attractive window arrangements, and
store decoration, show the same en-
thusiasm which they have for years
put behind this meutorious Cod-Liver
and Iron preparation.
Their special feature is Cod-Liver
Oil and Iron. Later in the season,
they intend to give away new Vinol
Cook Book to their customers. Every
woman interested in good cooking
recipes should call and get one.

APEX LAW DECLARED OBJ.
SOLETE AT MINING CONGRESS

"The crying need of the mining in
dustry is a complete revision of the
mining laws declared Dr. David w.
Brunton, of Denver, president of the
American Mining congress, in his an
nual address at Philadelphia Monday
night. He referred to the so-called
''apex' law as the most archaic that
ever was placed upon the statute
books. He inveighed against the re-
Gently passed laws in many western
states, which he declared placed new
burdens upon mining property, but
pleaded for the extension of work
men s compensation acts to all states.
"'In every state in which compensa-
tion laws have been passed so far as
| am aple to learn" said the speak
er, "the results have been extremely
gratifying. The cost to the employer
has been no greater than before,
while the sufferers get from two to
ten times as much as they did under
the antiquated laws in force in most
states
DIR. Brunton declared that the mine
owner and miner of the west are be
ing throttled by gigantic smelling
monopoly, which, he declared not only
dictates the price to be paid for ore,
but in some instances how much ore
may be produced. "Wiid cat" pro-
motion also was scored by the speak
err who concluded his address with the
statement that the greatest service
the mining congress has accomplished
has been the assistance given towards
the creation o. Federal bureau of
mines.
Safety in the mines, workmen s
compensation, mine taxation, the Alas
ka situation, Federal aid for mining
schools, revision of mineral land laws
and the sherman antitrust law as it
relates to the mining industry will be
among the subjects discussed by the
congress.

bonanza STRIKE
AT Quartz PEAK

ID. r. Dwyer came I'm IRON Battle
Mountain Tuesday night, bringing 50
pounds of samples from strike made
on Quartz peak, ON property upon
which he and Winnemueea associates
hold lease and bond from Arthur
Hancock.
The property was located some IL
or ID years ago by Barney Finn, who
developed it to a considerable extent,
and upon his meeting with an acci
dental death, fell into the hands of
Arthur Hancock, who has done a large
amount of development work. There
is group of nine claims, all of which
have been developed to some extent,
but the principal work has been upon
the "Pride.' Here a tunnel is driven
for 800 feet, and is so large and light
that candles are not required to see
to work in the face during the day
time.
At point 100 feet inside the tunnel
n crosscut has been driven for so
feet, which cuts the ledge at verti-
cal depth of 140 feet. When Mr.
Dwyer and associates took over the
property a station was cut at the end
of this go feet and winze sunk At
the floor of the tunnel the ledge was
about 2la feet wide, with a streak of
five inches that gave values of better
than $4,000 in silver. lead, gold and
copper. At a depth of nine or ten feet
the footwall was encountered, and at
twelve feet the ledge was six feet
wide, the full width of the shaft, with
no hanging wall in sight.
The ore was shown to several prac-
tical mining men yesterday, and at
first sight each one exclaimed that it
came from National, as IL closely re
sembles ore taken from the big mine.
While no assays have yet been made,
IL is estimated that it will run be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 per ton, in
silver and lead, with "A small amount
of gold.
Mr.. Dwyer will go to San Francisco
in the next few days to secure mining
machinery, and in all probability a
mill will be erected on the property.

master at Kennedy, moved to Winnie
mucca, leaving the postoffice in charge
of his son. Inspector Shea, of Reno,
has posted notices calling for appli-
cations for the postmastership, but
thus far none have been received, and
a canvass of the village discloses the
fact that no one wants it. In case no
application for the position is tender
ed on or before n vember Is, the

McComb was indicted by the grand
jury. Fighting every step of the way,
his counsel moved to quash the in
dietment on the ground that sitting
on the grand jury as member was
Bishop Hyde, of Metropolis, manager
of the Deeth creamery, Mormon
bishop who is alleged to be still hold
ing office as state senator Of Wyom-
ing and who is said to be still main

Judge Taber, of Elko, overrufed the
motion on the ground that no excep-
tion was taken to the list of the grand
jury. Van Fleet has now asked of the
Supreme Court writ of prohibition,
on the ground that Hyde's residence
was not learned until after the indict-
ment. Saturday is made the time for
returning the writ.

.ELKO MAY SECURE
AN indian SCHOOL

Elko has good prospects of secur
ing United States school for the In
dians. Conditions are such that some
thing has to be done at once by the
government or the Indian children
will be without an education. Serious
complaint is being made by the In
dians of Elko and eastern Nevada
against the school at Carson City.
Parents of Indian children hereabouts
say they will not send their children
to Carson for the reason that when
the children return from Carson they
are worse than when they left home.
In many instances it is declared the
children sent to Carson have develop
ed traits and acquired habits which
are not in accordance with good citi-
zenship. For this reason the Indians
are baking against allowing their
children going to the Carson school.
On the other hand the government in
sists that the children must go to
school. This has not alone caused an
embarrassing situation, but consider
able friction between the Indian and
the Federal authorities. In view of
this, Elko citizens interested in Sc
curing a government school here have
interviewed the Indians in the settle
ment just outside of Elko and the par
ents of 10 children have agreed to
send them to school in Elko if gov
ernment school is established here.
The same condition exists in other
eastern Nevada counties and in some
instances conditions are even worse
than here In Eiko county.

number of years ago and Elko
would have had an Indian school at
that time had not certain land been
held too high. Thomas Hunter then
offered to donate 80 acres for a school
to give plenty of land. The matter
then fell through.
Stanley Taber has become inter-
ested in the matter and taken it up
with G. II. Asbury, special Indian
agent of the department of the in
terror. In letter to Mr.. Taber, Mr.
Asbury suggests plan for school
here as follows:
- stopped off at Elko and in con-
versation with some of the Indians as
to getting their children into school
they said that plan had been sug
gested whereby the Elko school dis
triet would provide a separate school
for the Indians, building them a small
schoolhouse, if they could guarantee
them an attendance of about twenty
children, or sufficient to justify the
school. (Taber has 10 pledged)
''It occurred to me that we might
make some joint arrangement where
by the government would pay to your
district tuition which would Justify
you in making some arrangement for
school even for a less number than
suggested above. l am not just sure
what we could do in the matter, but l
know that our office has made con-
tracts with district schools whereby
they are paid tuition on sworn
statement of attendance. If you are
interested in this matter, l will be
glad to furnish you with application
