tation grows lush, there is little sun
shine. 1t is obscured by the great growth
of the trees In the human swamps
the sunshine is hidden by the trunks of
greed and selfishness and inconsidera-
ton.
When the marsh is drained and the
trees are cut down there is better life.
There is just as much vegetation per-
haps, but 1t gets better chance to
grow and to develop.
When q human swamp is drained by
the forces of love and kindness and mu-
tual helpfulness the human vegetation
can grow into healthy life.
Hew away at the trunks of the OBJ
scuring trees. IL you cannot cut one
down, at any rate you can make cash
in the bark that shall serve as a guide
to the man with mightier arm and a
keener AK
So shall the human moras be cleared
and the beauty that is found even there
have a better chance for life.

A Stroke of Luck
n Pearson's Weekly.

From Pearson's Weekly.
Bad handwriting is sometimes a fortu-
nate thing for the writer. however, as in
the case Of Lord Curzon.
When he was a young man at college
he wrote two letters one day, one of them
to relative and the other to an inti-
mate friend. Unfortunately he put them
In the wrong envelopes, and the relative
got the friends letter and vice versa.
The mistake was only discovered when
the friend wrote returning the relatives
letter and asking what he meant by il.
AS the letter written to the friend and
sent TO the relative contained some very
biting criticisms of the relative himself,
young Curzon was Mortified. and waited
I'm fear and trembling for the explosion
of indignation that seemed certain to
come from the affronted relative.
All was well. however. for the reply
that came back from the relative was:
y have not been able to read a line OF
your scrawl, but suppose it's money
you're after. SO I inclose check"

~ GOD for Flusser!
He wants to earn his own
- money.
In his case the word earn means what
the dictionary says it does:
ITO merit or deserve, as by labor or SER
vice; to do that which entitled one to a
reward, whether the regard is received
or not"
How many men or women would do
what he has done? How many men and
women would fail to see in inherited
money anything but windfall-a gift to
be received gratefully and spent cheer
fully?
A wise man is F1usser!
He knows that the only money that
brings real satisfaction is the money that
Is earned by rendered service, by duties
performed. 1t is the money that brings
good to others, as we'll as to the possessor.

Colligan vein while the old Wingfield
tunnel is in ore running over $50 a
ton.
1t Is now conservatively estimated
that there are over 200 miners work
ing for wages in the Rochester dis
trict embracing Mcneil hill, the Lin
ericks, Lincoln hill and Weaver can
yon. The pay roll is over $25, 900
monthly and each week sees an in
crease in the number of men put to
work.
On the Sunflower group of claims
on the western slope of Nenzel noun
tain five sets of leasers are now
working while the company is sinking
a 1O0-fot shaft on the vein.
Considerable excitement has been
occasioned because of discovery of
rich silver float about two miles north
of Mcneil mountain in a spur of the
Weaver canyon. 1t is stated that the
vein has been uncovered. If this dis
covery makes good and the ore is
found in place, it will mean an ex-

GOLD VALUES AT ROCHESTER.
Recent Strikes at Nevada Town Insure
a Big Mining Camp.

Rochester, New. - Following the
startling discoveries OF gold values on
the southern slope of Nenzel noun
tain on the Colligan lease in the new
mining camp of Rochester in the
Humboldt range in Nevada, increased
development of that section lying to
the south and west of Nenzel noun
tain has been in progress the past
week with the result that gold-bear-
ing ore has been uncovered on the
Sunflower group of claims. To the
north of Mcneil mountain the Llmer-
icks are showing gold values In place
of silver and it Is now believed that
the main Nenzel vein which has been
penetrated by the Big Four and Codd
leases, showing phenomenal values In
silver, will eventually turn to greater
gold values at depth.
In the north drift from the tunnel
level in the Codd lease the face across
IL feet exposed with neither wall in
sight gives assays of $40 and over to
the ton. 1t is undoubtedly one of the
greatest showings of silver ore ever
encountered in the state of Nevada at
depth of 1877 feet. Codd has shipped
seven cars of ore to the smelter, no
sorting being attempted, and mill re-
turns have netted $35 a ton. With
improved facilities, compressors and
additional teams, the Codd lease is
now shipping carload OF ore per day.
The Big Four lease adjoining the
Codd lease to the south is, working IS
men. Twenty carloads of ore have
been shipped to the smelters and this
lease is now being worked on the
money taken from the ground. Ore
is being shipped that runs over $50
ton. No sorting is being done and
this lease is preparing to spin from
80 to 100 tons Of ore daily as soon az
additional transportation facilities can
be obtained. The Case lease has
shipped second carload Of ore and
the third car Is being sacked.

last week by being appointed mem
Der of the committee from the COM
mittee on military affairs of the
United States senate to visit and in
spect the military academy at West
Point, New York. The committee
made thorough and complete in

make full report to the committee
on military affairs that will enable
the members of that committee and of
the senate to have first hand infor-
nation that will be very valuable in
considering matters pertaining to the
betterment of the military academy.
Senator Brady expressed himself as
being very favorably impressed with
conditions at West Point, and said
that he wished very much that the
people of the west, especially those
who have business with the military
academy, could see for themselves the
splendid work that is being done
there.

advocating the adjustment OF the
