Lona-Lost Mine Found.

The long-lost Cinnabar mine In Ne
vada has been found after search
lasting more than thirty years. The
discovery was made some weeks ago
by George Keough while searching for
strayed stock. seven miles from Nina.
The discovery was kept secret un-
til claims were staked and assays
made of the ore, showing 1t to run
high in quicksilver.
Following the announcement OF the
finding OF the mine a rush was start
ed for the district in which 1t is
located.

nabar deposit, became confused and

He conducted expedition after expe-
dition in search of the deposit, but his
efforts were fruitless. He described
the location. stating that two petriiied

AS will be readily understood. the
commission is able and willing to sell
food at very little above cost. Conse
quently the housewife on the isthmus
can buy at prices that are never above
those in the states, and that nearly
always are considerably lower.
An important part of the commits
sary plant is the industrial and ex
perimental laboratory In Cristobal
where all the foods are tested and
many things. such as flavoring ex
tracts, are manufactured.
The commission conducts more than
dozen hotels for white Americans,
where good meals are furnished for
80 cents each; score of mess halls
for European laborers. where a days
board costs forty cents, and about
twenty-five kitchens for West Indian
laborers, where board casts thirty
cents day. Something like a million
meals are served each month in these
various establishments. for nearly .ey.

man there fixing new paper in the
shogi he sent for the ladies of the
court and delivered a short lecture on
economies. informing them that when
the shogi wanted repairing they
should not have a workman in to fix
new paper. but should themselves
patch 1t up with old. A certain privy
councillor who was in attendance dur
ing the last days of the late emperor
and entered his room told the present

1t is of course well known that all

|" HE every day life of the Japa-

known to the public in spite
OF the increasing enterprise of
Japanese journalism. which
has made repeated efforts to break
down the barrier of exclusiveness and
mystery that has hitherto guarded all

the Chiyoda palace. Invariably these
attempts to violate the sanctity OF the
imperial precincts have ended In fall

about 100000 pounds OF the roasted

attention of Colonel Wilson. for he
is himself a great coffee drinker. He
