FINDS PETRIFIED
WOODEN Ball

Mrs. Rask, while camping with
Ed Smith and family on the North
Fork Ct the Little Humboldt a few
days last week put in some time
gathering pretty rocks and peb-
bles. She found one rare spe j.
men, believed to be a petrified
wooden ball 1t is about twlre the
size of a baseball and is beautifully
marked with the grain of the woud.
There is succession IF marks COM
ing to a point like a sharp V, such
as may be seen in many pieces Of
wood showing a beautiful grain.
Other ma Ks extend in circles
around the ball.
The color of the stone is between
a gray and brown and the mar ks
are dark brown. The stone is not
exactly round but little Irregular
A significant fact in connection
with the finding of this stone was
the finding also of a broken pestle
used formerly by Indians for grind
ing grain in a stone IN rtar. 1t
may be that the stone was carved
into its present shape by some pre-
historic resident of the spot where
it was found, and the wooden ball
afterwards became petrified: or
it may be that the stone was worn
into its present shape by being
rolled and ground by 9th stones

The PRIMROSE PATH

No man or woman yet tripped
down the primrose path without
sooner or later falling into the
shadows which Turk around it. TIE
start is easy but the pace quickens
as the wine flows free, and all too
often the victims are swept "into
the gulf of an endless night" We
look about us most every day in
any community. no matter how
small, and find culprits who by
their unlawful work have proved
themselves to be mentally equipped
for making success in almost any
honest calling. With a full know
ledge of the consequences they de-
liberately choose dishonest means
for securing funds with which tn
live lives in open violation of all
social and moral laws.
The primrose path was pleasant
so long as the lights shown bright
and the popping corks made music
sweet, but when the shadows thiCken
fast around them, there is hardly
a doubt that each and every one of
them would gladly retrace their
steps to the parting Of the ways
and take the other path. Churchill

JARBIDGE IS TO HAVE
new STAMP MILL SOON

With a new stamp mill within
thirty days of completion and. half
a dozen properties actively operat-
ing, one with force of about
thirty men, things at the camp of
Jarbigde in northern Nevada are
in fairly encouraging condition
this fall, according to C. L. Martin,
who was in from there yesterday,
a guest at the Kenyon.
Mr.. Martin has Leen connected
with the camp of Jarbidge for the
past two years. He and associates
are now working the Little Devil
property. In this is narrow

This came from just one and one

value is in the yellow metal.
The Little Devil is being opened
by a tunnel that is now in 1855

This has exposed a 4-foot vein of
$12 ore. Of this So to $40 is in
gold and the balance in silver. This
group is located about one-half
mile south of the Buster mine.
The Alpha is today the busiest
proposition in camp. 1t is so near
completion that the management
hopes to have the stamps falling on
company ores inside of the next
thirty days. Regular shipments of
bullion from Jarnidge will help
give the camp prominence.
The Flake. the Buster, the Ari-
IONA and Pick and Shovel each is
employing small forces of men at
present. 1t is expected that next
spring will witness quite a stir in
camp.-Herald Republican.

about it, there is nothing of news
value, for instance, in the fact that
a telephone girl has had to quit
because of poor health. Another
takes her place and the service
goes on. But when we read the
physicians judgement in the death
certificate that overwork and pros
tration conspired with consumption
to kill the telephone girl, and that
she was twenty years old when
she died, though there is still moth
ing of news about it, there is
something of a text. And the ser
mon is easily preached-indeed it
breaches itself. 1t is a plea for
consideration for the telephone
girl. 1t is neTve-wearing work
she does. No word of commenda-
ton can be spoken when the work
is we'll done but the operator is eX-
posed to continuous criticism where
her work is faulty. Occasionally
the worry and abuse and toll of
it prove too much and the MARIA
tive ends in a death certificate.

Restaurants.

A restaurant is a place where you
pay four dollars for fifteen cents
worth of food, accompanied by about
two dollars worth of light labor, light
china and light music, which you have
heard before. After leaving your hat
with a Wall street syndicate, you pay
all the way from ten cents to a quar-
ter for the privilege of getting it back
and wearing 1t once more. The diff
ference between a man and woman
indeed today Is quite simple. A wom-
an pays fifty dollars all at once for
her hat, while a man pays five dollars
for his and fifty-five more in tip in
stallments for storage at restaurants
while he Is vainly trying to obtain
enough nourishment to sustain life
between times.
The object of all restaurants is to
furnish you with everything you want
except nourishment. This is carefully
extracted from all food before it
reaches you.
Every restaurant nowadays has at
tached to it homeless hotel and a
drugless drug store, also a newspaper
stand, where you can buy a paper for
not over twice what you can get it
for almost any night you don't want
them at the same rates. Every res
taurant also has a wine cellar, which
la filled with native cobwebs, Euro
pean labels and California grape juice.

ANCIENT MUMMIES ARE
GROUND UP FOR PAINT

In order to furnish the innumer-
able delicate tints of paint requir-
ed by artists, manufacturers have
nowadays to ransack the word.
Even mummies have lately been
called into USE.
Mummies are usually preserved
in the finest bitumen, and this an
cient bitumen has, in the course of
centuries, turned the mummies a
leathery brown tint. 1t has been
found that when the bitumen and
he shreds of mummy are ground
down by machinery, a beautiful
brown pigment is the result-ex-
actly the tint required for painting
certain shades of brown hair.
Sepia is one Of the commonest OF
artists paints. 1t is deep brown
in color and comes from source
equally strange. 1t is prepared
from the black inky fluid discharg-
ed by the cuttlefish to blind and
battle its enemies.
Prussian Glue is prepared from
horses hoofs and is made by fusing
the h offs with potassium carbonate.
Raw sienna is soil from near ST.
emma, in Italy. Burnt sienna, an
other common tint, is simply the
same earth burned.
The majority of pigments for
making color--that is, the dry pow
der-are obtained from minerals,
but many pigments come from
the animal kingdom. Cochineal,
for example, comes from the dried
bodies of insects. A kim Of pitch
is also used for certain pigments.

CALL FOR LEGIBLE SIGNATURE
Business Concerns and Hotels, AZ Well
: n Legal Firms, Find Themselves
Compelled to Insist on That.

kindly favor us with a legible sig.
NATURE" is an appeal now often en-.
tcountered. It appears on the letter
heads Of many a legal firm and is
.conspicuously printed on contracts
and other important documents. In
hotels this request is sometimes used
as heading on each page of the reg
lister or printed on a card. 1t hangs
in plain view Of the counter.
A room clerk in one of the big
hotels declares that the task Of de-
,ciphering signatures has reached q
crisis.
ut has got to the point where we
couldn't bluff on names any longer"
he said. 'In these days Of constant
telephoning and telegraphing we've
simply got to be sure that every
guests name is correctly entered on
our books or there's bound to be
trouble.
"Of course a successful hotel clerk
must have gift for deciphering bad
signatures just as he must have a
good memory for names and faces,
but when a man we've never seen be-
fore comes in and scrawls a long
wavy line on the register without a
single letter plain enough to even
guess at, how are we going to call
him by name the next minute? He
may have important mail waiting for
him or he may be telephoned for any
minute, 30 our request for q legible
signature arises out of a necessity"
A member Of law firm on whose
letterheads is printed "a legible sig
nature is requested" says that these
few words have saved his firm much
trouble. Papers no longer have to be
returned for resigning, as was for
merly the case, because the first sig
nature could not be read. Before this
request for a legible signature was
made important legal documents often
had to be entirely rewritten because
one of the parties refused to accept
the signature of some of the others
on account of their illegibility. O
A large employer of labor has made
1t rule recently to have all applica-
lions for work brought to him. He
orders each letter folded so that the
signature alone shall show. He goes
over these, picks out the signatures
that appeal to him and gives these
applicants precedence over the others

DISTRICT COURT

This forenoon Judge Taber pass
ed upon the question of special
counsel to assist the district attor-
ney in the prosecution of Frank
Huber, charged with murder. He
read many authorities, the most of
which ustained the right of a
Judge to grant the application for
the employment of special counsel
in criminal cases. Some of the
cases, however. held it was discre-
tionary with the ju ge. Being in
doubt as to his RICH: to deny the
application / the district attorney
for the employment of special coun-
sci in the Huber case, Judge Taber
exercised his discretion and denied
the application for the employment
Of the firm of Curler & Gedney,
butt tated that he would Grant an
application for the employment of
either member of the firm to be
agreed upon by the district attor-
ney and the firm.
After consultation Mr.. Gedney
was agreed upon and he was en-
tered as special counsel. The state
excepted to the ruling of the court
denying the application for the en-
ployment of Curler & Gedney and
the defense objected to the en-
ployment of Mr.. Gedney. The OBJ
jections were overuled and the de-
Tense took an exception.
The employment of special coub,
sci in criminal cases has been the
rule in this state for over forty
years and Judge Taber's ruling
seems to be III conflict with that
practice. HIS decision, however,
was largely based upon the condi,
tons presented in the case before
him. He fully considered those
conditions and made his ruling AZ.
cordingly. He stated that his rul
ing in this case war not to be re,
garded as a precedent.
After this matter was settled
the jury was called in and excused
till 1870 o'clock and the court ad
journed until that hour.
