said, was the promise Of the democracy of culture in America
 ''rhe free public library, like the free public school, is the heritage of every child, and should be made the open high way to culture and efficiency. Such an institution deserves the help of every citizen Every contribution is an invest ment that will keep on paying dividends when all other investments fail
 'The Public library is Birming ham g
 Bank of Culture.' TaKe stock in it: it is absolutely safe. All the people may, draw on it at will, and it never breaks: the greater the run on this bank, the greater it's reserve fund; the greater the rush on its vaults, the stronger its credit and the richer the dividends to it's stock holders This is not a fable. Invest in it, and then go up to the library some day and be inspired, aa the Honora ble James Bryce was inspired, with a new faith in your democracy"

panied by J. f. Drew, e-president
of the Missouri Pacific; Carl Burton.

president of the ID. & r. G. and West
crn Pacific; C. M. Levey, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the

evening on special train at
. clock. The train was made up of
the private ears Missouri Pacific No. l,
ID. & r. G.. Az and Missouri Pacific
commissary.
During the day Col. f. r. Place,
general manager of the Winnemucca
Northern, had been in telegraphic
communication with the party and was
at the station when the special pulled
in. He held short conference with
President Bush and was invited to ac-
company the party to San Francisco.
This Col. Place was unable to do, but
he left for the City on Western Pa
ciic No. l this morning.
Seen before he left last evening
by a Silver State representative, Col.
Place admitted that he was going to
San Francisco to keep an appoint
ment with President Bush, but de-
elined to state the nature of the
business. IT is assumed, however,
that il has TO do with the Western
Pacific building the Winnemucca

Before leaving Salt Lake City. to a
Herald Republican reporter President
fush stated that the Gould system is
determined upon extending line into
idaho as soon as financial conditions
Of the country permit. He would not
discuss how and where the new line
of the Gould system will be extend
ell into Idaho, but he appeared GER
tain that Idaho will be the first point
in consideration when the Gould lines
decide to make further extensions. He
was far from being optimistic over
the financial outlook in the east.

RICH STRIKE ON
HINfS-BALDWIN

Word was received in town SUNDAY
that another bunch of high grade had
been struck on the Hines Baldwin
lease, in the Workman tunnel on the
White Rock No. claim on Charleston
dill. G. b. Welshons and w. E. Staun-
ton left yesterday morning for Ma.
tional by auto, but are not expected
to return before tomorrow, when il
is probable full particulars may be
obtained.
BY telephone, this morning, from a
reliable source the Silver State learn
cd that 35 pounds of high grade were
taken out SUNDAY which in appear.
ance equals any ever taken from the
National mine, which means that il
will run around $4,000 per pound. The
vein is three feet wide and the high
grade is found in boulders.
The Hines Baldwin lease covers the
east half of the White Rock No. l
claim, the west half being under lease
to DR.. l.. G. Wheeler. Both leasers
are operating through the Workman
tunnel, which runs for 5000 feet, 60
ing across corner of the Birthdays
and tapping the property of the
Charleston Hill Gold Mining claim.
On this latter property two leases
have been given, the one to the
Charleston National Mining company
having been in operation for more
than a year. OF this company J. p.
Clough is president and f. S. Dear
dorff general manager. A large
amount of development work has been
done and the objective point, where
high grade is expected to be found,
will be reached in very short time.
Adjoining the Charleston National
on the south is the lease of the Ma
tional High-Grade Leasing company,
which owns a four-year lease on a
block of ground 600x13O0 feet in di-
mensions. The controlling interest in
this company is owned by A. w.
Stowe, the local mining broker, who
is at present engaged in financing the
proposition. With this new strike,
made within stones throw, money
should be forthcoming to develop this
promising property.
DIR. L. G.. Wheeler will leave tomor-
row evening for Milwaukee, Wiscon-
sin, to confer with the principal stock
holders in his company, who reside
in the Cream City, and lay out plan
for the coming seasons work.
The vein of the National mine runs
through all the properties mentioned,
and the strike on the Hines Baldwin
lease has given new inspiration to all
interested parties.

NATIVE OF WlNNEMU((A
KILLED IN CALIFORNIA

Edwin ID. Van Lennep on Saturday
and 2:30 o'clock, was killed by an
electric shock received while at work
in the basement of the Sugar Plum.
He was alone at the time of the acci-
dent. Jasper Hodkins, who happen
ed to enter the basement heard deep
moan and went to the reh - of the un-
fortunate man, and cut the wire which
he was holding. DIR. Fay was sum
moned and he and others worked over
Mr.. Van Lennep about forty minutes
bnt at no time was there sign of
life.
There is supposed to be 110 volts
on the wire which Mr.. Van Lennep
was grasping, but it is likely that he
was taking a dead ground by acciden-
tally stepping onto the ground from
the dry board which he had provided
before beginning the work.
The inquest was held by Coroner
Bisbee.
He was born in Winnemueca, Neva-
da. December %, 1879, the son of
David and Susannah Van Lennep.
The family came to Auburn in 1882,
where Edward was reared and educat,
ed. In September, 1908, he was mar
ried to Norma Mccormack, and three
children were born to them, who sur
vive him, as does his brother Henry
with whom he was in partnership in
the Placer Machine and Auto com
pany. Two brothers whose lives were
remarkably interviewer and blended,
one supplementing the other in their
business. And the mother, Susannah
Van Lennep, to who he was devoted
as only a loyal and true son can be
devoted to a mother.
At the time of his death he was
second assistant foreman in the fire
department and manager of the Au-
burn eornet band. Both of these
bodies attended the funeral in full
force. He was held in high esteem by
every member of these organizations
and their heartfelt sympathy goes out
tc the bereaved mother, brother, wife
and children.-Auburn California

EDUCATIONAL AIMS
OF THE EXPOSITION

In the notices of the Panama. Pa
eifc exposition a feature which is
especially important has generally
been overlooked-that the exposition
aims primarily to be educational, and
therein differs from all its p-ede-
cessors.
Not only are intending exhibitors
urged to prepare educational exhib-
it's, but assistance is given them in so
doing. The educational ideas are run
ming chiefly in the direction of the
manufacture of the product
With this feature as the chief char
acteristic there is every reason to be
lieve that the exposition will draw a
large attendance. for the spectacular
features are to be fully equal to those
of other great hibitions.-Engineer-
ing Record.
