the challenge to play a three cornered
worlds series he has sent to the major
leagues be taken up, the team winning
the pennant in his league will claim
the worlds championship. The ma

NAMED there until 1860, when he
ran q pack train from PIacerVille
to Virginia, and sold his stock in
the. streets of that city, then g
booming mining camp. He sold
flour at $25 a sack and ether things
in proportions. He cleaned no his
stock of goods and returned ia
PlacerVille and in the fall of 1860
he was elected assessor Of Placer
county. His health fuiling he came
to Eastern Nevada in 1863 and has
been here ever since.
Mr.. Russell is h lie and hearts
end very active for q man Of his
age. His grandfather lived to be
nearly 100 and Mr.. Russell stands
a good chance of reaching the cen,
tury mark, judging from the way
he carries the II years that have

Medical Journal Also Advises the %.
Ing Away With Breakfast, Which

cary Meal.

Were the entire food supply Of the
world yeQuitably distributed the labors
OF surgeons and physicians alike would
be sensibly reduced, but In the mean.
time those who eat too much are az
frequently the care of medical men
as ere those who eat too little. /.
The victims Of excess or of depriva-
ton a be relieved by treatment, but
the advice must be carefully followed,
and neither patient necessarily does
this. . In the case Of the man
h eats too much, and equally In
the case OF the man who cannot obtain
more than two meals a day, 1t is sug-
gested, we have read recently, that tine
meal to be sacrificed should be break
fast. The reason offered for this be-
lief is that after the nights sleep the
bodily strength, nervous and muscu-
lar, Is at its highest, and work can be
carried on without food. The machine
Is running strongly and no fuel Is re-
quired for the time being. There
would appear to be good foundation
for such belief, says the London Lam
Get, and yet, Ia this country at any
rate, we believe very few people act
upon It.
How many men r in the habit Of
doing any work before they have
breakfast? Very few, we imagine.
Yet, as the evidence Of some literary
men proves, there is no time. of the
day more fitted for the prodnc4ion OF
intellectual or imaginative work than
the early morning hours, which, quiet
and refreshing, are friendly to brain
work, breakfast or no breakfast. For
manual labor the nc breakfast plan
is not so suitable. A little fresh air

system which involves the eating of

our own heavy breakfast plan. It can
be excused only II adequate time is
given after the meal for the digestion
thereof, and most professional and
business men cannot spare the hours

day meal. In most continental cities,
where the midday meal is a heavy one,
an hour or so is commonly spent in

possible with the more strenuous

be severely deprecated If the quanti-

tom Of the shaft. thus avoiding the
drilling Of one or two holes. One
day one Of the miners. the last one
going up. threw q stick of powder
with a lighted fuse attached, in be
hind the timbers. The explosion
was so terrific that it proved that
many of the miners had been catch
ing their pow der there. The ex-
plosion opened up another parallel
vein which vas very rich.
A n time partner of mine in
the early '70s, travelling on foot
from Red M ,untain to Ir%onton,
Colorado. sat down under a tree at
the aide of the trail to rest Having
a small prosecutors pick in his
hand. he broke a piece oft the rock
nearest tt him and this proved to
be galena. An hours prospecting
on the mountain side disclosed the
vein although hundred of practical
miners had passed over the trail
without noticing the float. He
took cut $780, 600 worth of ore and
sold the claim for $4,000.
AT the Camp Bird claim, near
Ouray, Colorado, the men doing
the annual assessment work, late in
the Fall, cut some material il the
DRIFT that was different from the
rock which they had been driving.
On account of a heavy snowfall
they were obliged to leave the
property in haste, and forgot to
take samples of the new material
with them. Eventually this rock
which had been thrown on the
dump proved to be rich ore and led
to the discovery of the now we'll
known Camp Bird mine.

tain many other necessities and lux

Of the Rell Telephone System. Many
pay stations and long distance tele.
phones had registered calls that
amounted to thousands of dollars,
and yet, although the central oper-
ators actually heard the calls re-
gistered rs the money tinkled into
the slot, not q nickel was found
when the repositories at the station
were searched. Schaefer. who is
Manager Of the Southern Bell Sec
ret Service System, was put upon
the matter and began investigation.
His findings were amazing.
He found a regularly organized
band of men and women who would
go to those automatics restaurants
where coins were dropped in slots
for ANYTHING you wished to eat who
used slot machines for almost
everv possible purpose-to obtain
gas. candies, talk to distant cities
and even to get money from garb-
ling slot machines.
This is the way they did it.
Three or four of them would 90
into a place where such gambling
slot machines were located that if
you dropped a nickel in the slot of
a certain color you lost the nickel
or were paid twice, three times or
as much as twenty time, the amount
you dropped in, if YOU happened
to select the slot IF the winning
color. Yellow pays a dollar for a
nickel, green SO cents and so on.
All Of such 81 t machines are
made so that the public simply
can't win in the end. They win
just often enough to encourage you
to gamble your nickels away. These
men, however, had discovered a
way Of "beating" any slot machine
thas was ever invented. They car
ried with them a dress suit Ease in
which was a whole outfit for max
ing pennies, nickels, dimes, quar-.
tiers and the like Of that out Of ice!
A set of forms to the exact size
of those various coins was made
that if water was placed in them an
automizer, which sent forth a jet
of some liquid which rapidly evap
Grated when directed upon the
water in these little dugout circles,
froze and left a set of coins made
of ice.
These counterfeit Coins" IF ice
could not. Of course, be used for
buying anything, but they are of
the same weight ps the correspond
ing pieces of money, and hence,
when dropped into the telephone.
gambling, automatic lunch, candy
and chewing gum machines will
promptly do the work Of the real
metal.
When, however, a slot machine
manipulated is opened nothing is to
be seen because the little bit of
water used quickly soaks through
the apparatus. Vertically ice coins
are phantom money. The work of
these bands of ice counterfeiters is
much more extensive than is sus-
pected and many corporations re-
fuse to prosecute these scamps
when they are caught for fear that
the scheme will become public and
be widely imitated.-New York
