simultaneous growl every head went
up, and the lions swung round, facing

SIeeplessness,

When people of nervous temperament
retire for the night and cannot sleep it
is usually because their brains are still
active and refuse to part with the
blood which should properly travel else
where. What the sleepless really need
is sloping bed. so that the congested
head will relieve itself easily Of the
superfuous blood. For the upper part
of the body, being heavier than the
lower. inevitably sinks more deeply

PAPER SPEAKS HIGHLY OF
NEW NEVADA CAMP.

For some months past The Miner
has published weekly letters concern
ing the development of the Jarbidge
(Nevada) gold camp. written by Jas.
F. O'Brien. Mr.. O'Brien is among the
best known and most reliable mining
writer's of the west, and especially ~
he familiar with the camps of Nevada.
1t was largely due to his writing that
the first prominence of Goldfield was
brought about Recently he has re-
turned to his home in Reno, and the
following concerning him is from the
Daily Gazette of that city:
Mining Situation Much Improved.
Speaking Of Jarbidge. Mr. O'Brien
says that the mining situation there
has improved greatly IN the last two
or three weeks. The representatives
OF Honore Palmer have finished grad
ing for the new mill on the Alphas
and good force Is engaged In making
other surface improvements. as well
as further development Of the mine.
1t is the general belief in camp that
Mr.. Palmer will also soon take over
the Bourne mine and mill for which
he has been negotiating for some
weeks
Many Coming for Business.
Some developments, which are not
yet ripe for publication, are now taking
place which will have a material bear
ing on the prosperity of the camp"
said Mr.. O'Brien. More people have
come into Jarbidge during the last two
weeks than in the three months pre-
vious, and they are not idle curiosity
seekers--they are out for business and
believe that the time for investment Is
ripe.

Some day, in the not distant future
that portion of Nevada will be noted
for its scenic attractions for the noun
tains and canyons are of unusual
beauty Some 30 or 40 miles below the
