ROCHESTER
IS MAKING GOOD

A. A. Codd returned yesterday
from a brief trip to Rochester. where
he went to inspect progress on the
Codd lease and the Nevada short line
railroad. which he is constructing in.
to that camp and will soon have
completed says the Reno Journal.
Mr.. Codd states that the laying of
track up Rochester canyon will be
finished to the Rochester Mines Com.
pany's mill by December 10, and that
by the first of the new year he expects
to have the road completed TO the
terminal in Upper Rochester, which
Is within n short distance of the big
mines.
From the upper terminal a wire
tramway will be constructed up the
hill to the mines for the purpose Of
transporting the ore without the
necessity of continuing the railroad
along most prohibitive grades to
reach the mines. Big ore bins will be
constructed at the junction OF the
tramway and railroad. and the ore will
be automatically dumped into the bins
as II IN down the hill, and from
there will be drawn off into the ore
cars Of the railroad.
The shipping ore will be conveyed
to the Southern Pacific railroad at
Orcana for transportation to Salt
Lake directly to the new mill that Is
now being constructed between Up.
per Rochester and Lower Rochester
by tho Rochester Mines company. a
new organization headed by l.. A.
Friedman, the famous mining man of
Seven Troughs. has recently taken oy-
or the interests of Cowan and other
small Salt Lake mining men. In the
mill and the Rochester Mines com
pany and will speedily carry on the
big work 80 well inaugurated by Mr..
Cowan and associates. II Is believed
that tho new mill will be ready for
operation not later than February l.
Some new equipment. including n
Shea engine, will soon be added to
the transportation facilities Of tho
Codd railroad. which will then be
able to handle all the ore tho camp
raj produce.

highly pleased with the present show.

MANY SHEEP

says that the quarantine on sheep has
not kept the herds from coming into
this state from Idaho and Utah to
any great extent rs they are pouring
in from both those states daily and
are feeding in the vicinity of his
home. A number of these sheep were
already in the state before the quar-.

have come in since The ban was put
on them. According to Mr.. IIackett
all the bovines are in good shape
and show no trace of disease.

COURTESY ALWAYS AN ASSET
Something That Should Not Be For gotten Even In the Rapdity of
 Modern Life.

One of the minor virtues is to say thank you" audibly.
 A man surrenders his seat to a woman in a crowded car, and of course it Is no more than his chival- ric duty to do so. Nevertheless, he feels mildly resentful when his sacri- fee is accepted in utter silence, and the beneficiary flounces into the va cant place without so much as a glance at the benefactor.
 Similarly, when one has given bar Der a gratuity amounting to the cost of the tonsorial operation, 1t Is irri- tating to have the honorarium pock- eted as a matter of right. and not as a gracious concession.
 Walters and porters who are anx- ious to insure the life of the onerous practice of tipping would do well to observe that much of the well-defined popular resentment of the custom is due to the unappreciative attitude of the recipient It is only human na- ture to expect at least civil acknowl- edgmept when we think we have con ferred a favor, and many man who gives 8 tip regrets 1t when his gen erosity is accepted without a word.
 The practical value of courtesy as an actual business asset Is coming to be so generally recognized that the modern employer considers politeness, together with honesty and sobriety, as among the indispensable qualifications for one who seeks to enter his service The brusque. ill-natured employe drives business from the door, even as the deferential one attracts trade and makes friends for the establish ment-Philadelphia Ledger.

There was something pa. thetic and appealing in his manner; so she took dollar bill, put it in an envelope and wrote on the envelope, Never say die"
 She slipped out of the house ia the most casual manner she could assume and handed the envelope to the man as sine passed him.

The TanaerIne.

When the tangeslne orange was first introduced into China, 1t was so highly esteemed that 1t was given as a gift to the mandarins, and hence became known as the mandarin or ange. Our tangerine is simply a descendant of the ancient mandarin orange.
 In the last few years there seems to have been a falling off in the popu. larity of thege dainty, little glove or anges, as they used to be called. Pos sibly 1t is because the modern navel orange, with its sweetness and de- lightful flavor, Is so plentiful
 Even so, the appetizing little tanger- inc ought to have bigger place than 1t has at present. It would seem that the very fact that the tangerine skin pcels off so readily would insure It's popularity. But there are fashions in food. as we'll as in clothes. and the wheel of fashion revolves from time to time. Perhaps when bustles are ln again the tangerine will be a daily visitor to our tables.

Some of the terms used to describe apartments are mystifying to the un- initiated. declares the New York Sun. For instance. railroad fiat" conveys little idea to the novice until It Is ex- plained that this special type of apart. ment has no private hall. The back door and the front door both open Into the public hall. and the rooms follow one after the other, like cars on railroad train. which accounts for the expression railroad fiat.
 A box fat" is one degree up the scale. for here, while there is no en. tire length of private hall, there Is a sufficient slice taken from the bed. rooms so that one may walk from the parlor to the dining room without crossing the two intermediate bed. rooms. The tiny hall Is boxed in. hence the name box flat.
 A walk up" speaks for itself and Is easily translated into non-elevator Hat As a matter of fact, many of the most desirable of the older apartment houses come under the head of walk ups"
 A push the button" Is still another type which may apply to any of the others. It Is never misleading, as it graphically describes its mode of en- trance.
 All these fine points of distinction can be gleaned from a days apart. ment hunting.
