HIS Z: Y.
$4,000 BLAZE

Sunday Golconda was visited by q
costly fire about 6 o'clock In the ey-
ening, says the Winnemucca Star.
The Are started In the store bnilding
fOrmsriy occupied by the GalcondR
Mercantile company, and this building
and the big warehouse next to it be-
longing to Taylor and Sheehan were
totally destroyed. The Golconda Mer-
Camille company had about $4,000
worth OF merchandise stored in the
building and this was also total loss.
Besides the warehouse Taylor Ueand
Sheehan lost 1000 sacks of seed
wheat, two tons of alfalfa seed and a
large quantity Of sheep camp supplies.
Taylor and Sheehan's loss will ap-
proximate about $4,000, With no In
surance, while the loss Of the store
building, which was erected In 1897
and belonged to q. L. Dutertre, was
about $4,000, partly insured. The
loss sustained by the Golconda Mer-
camille company was $4,000.
The flre started at o'clock and
burned for an hour and q half.
Mr.. Heller, a government represen-
tatiye OF the Smithsonian institute,
who Is in Golconda for. the purpose Of
securing antelope specimens, was pre-
pairing, to tan some OF the hides in the
unoccupied store building. He had
built a hre In the store early In the
evening and then left the building. It
is thought there must have been an
explosion in the stove caused by ac-
cumulated gas and that the Goals were
thrown out on the floor, causing the
flre which destroyed the building and
the Taylor and Sheehan warehouse
adjoining It.
The fire was not discovered until
the flames were shooting through the
roof OF the store building. There were
no facilities at hand for fighting a
flre Of such magnitude and the flames
spread SO rapidly that practically
nothing could be saved from either OF
the buildings. It was only due to the
strenuous efforts of volunteers that
the polkinshorne store and the big
barn belonging TO H. L. DutertFe,
which adjoinod the burning buildings
were saved from destruction.

CARELESS BOYS SHOOT A
MAN AT WlNNEMuccA

Sylvan Sarazene, Frenchman In
the employ Of Lay Bros, at Jackson
Mountain, was shot In the legs this
forenoon by the accidental discharge
OF shotgun in the hands of youth
named Tom Heating, nephew OF T.
J. d. Salter, says the Winnemucca
Star. Sarazene was standing on the
sidewalk In front OF Ruckteschler's
store conversing with some frineds
when young Heating and another
youth named Peter Miller came along
with loaded shotgun. According to
keating's story, Miller was carrying
the shotgun and when in front of
Ruckteschlers store he handed the
gun to Heating AS he did so the
weapon was discharged, and It is pre-.
sumed one Of the boys must have had
his finger on the trigger. The muz-
zle Of the gun was pointed downward

AS ONE OF THE WORLDS
GREATEST GOLD AND
SILVER PRODUCERS
NEvADA's GREATEST MINING
CAMP IS AGAIN GIVING TO
WORLD FROM ITS STORE
OF MILLIONS

Inc October net earnings of the
Goldheld Consolidated Mines com
pany succeeded those of the two pre-
ceding months of September and Au-
gust by notable amounts. This fact
Is shown by the final report of Act
ing Assistant General Manager X.
M. Simpson for the last month, which
has just been made public by A.
II. Howe, secretary and treasurer. In
point OF tonnage, October was the
best month in the last four.
The October report shows that the
company mill treated 28,651 tons of
ore, from which was obtained net
profits of S149,373.33, as against IT.
S7l tons and net profits of $12O,59s.67
IN September, an increase in tonnage
OF 7SO tons and in net realization of
$2S,773.66. The report further shows
an increase in the amount of deyel-
opment work accomplished at n re-
duced price. In October a total of
2'S74 linear feet of work was perform
ed at cost of S6.O2 per foot. The
most noteworthy development in the
various mines of the company dur
ing october occurred in the Combin-
alton. On the 23O-foot level, 100 feet
northeast of the shaft, 292z, sill was
extended and yielded 275 tons of s53
ore, notable increase in values. The
Mohawk mine continues to give a
splendid account of itself, contribu-
ting it's full share to the total pro-
ducuon of the various properties as
whole. Leasers operating on the
various properties are still obtaining
handsome rewards for their efforts.
They extracted and shipped to the
company mill during October 51,2O9
dry tons of ore of the gross value of
$2O,262.O2, Of which amount the COM
pany received in royalty s1O,sS2.Os,

With the hanging wall of the vein
unrevealed, there is now exposed in
the top of the raise seventeen feet of
ore, which, taken as whole, is OF
a high-class shipping grade. Imme-
diately above the eight4 feet of quartz
carrying average values of $22 per
ton, lying on the shale footwall, there
Is nine feet Of ore that assays $541
per ton, according to Consulting En-
gineer ]. X. Turner. Above this nine

shown by assays on muck from drill
holes which will not be shot for the
present. Thus far the drill holes
have given no indication as to when

OLDEST PARIS NEWSPAPER.
The Journal Des Debats and Napo-
Icons Famous News Order,

The Oldest newspaper in Paris the
Journal des Debats, was one Of the
cluster OF newspapers which sprang
into being with the beginnings OF pop
ular government In 1889.
1t was founded by printer named
Baudoin. and purported TO be. as It's
name shows, a mere chronicle of po-
litical events. Owing to its pungent
criticisms OF men and affairs II soon
became one of the most influential of
the Paris journals.
In 1905 the paper was compelled by
Napoleon TO change its name and be-
came the Journal de rEmpire. 1t was
In the course of the correspondence
which took place between Napoleon
and the editor, Fievee. on the subject
OF the threatened censorship that the
emperor gave the order which has be-
come famous. about the policy of the
newspaper. that it should publish no
news unfayorable TO the government
until the truth was so well known that
publication was needless"
After Nnpoeon's retirement to Elba
the paper resumed its old title 1t Is
stiIl edited and printed In the house
where 1t was first started, beside the
church Of st. Germaln de rAuxerrois
from the tower Of which the signal
was given for the massacre OF st. Bar

newspapers 1t has been the least af
fected by the modern developments OF

Not Necessary to Put a Telephone
Transmitter to the Mouth.
In ease one does not care 10 stoop
to telephone while talking. or does
not care to put the transmltter to the
mouth. he can make himself heard by
very simple means. Simply place the
abdomen or the chest against the
mouthpfece of the transmitter aud talk
into the open air. and the sound Will
get to the party on the other end. The
whole chest wall and the wall Of the
abdomen vlbrate IN unison when the
mouth is speaking. as they are II great
sounding board. and they will transmit
the proper sound waves to the dia-
phragm. This is easy to try and as
tonishing in result.
Another peculiar thing noticed in
telephones at times is phantom. talk
heard In receiver when one Is walt
ing for central to give connection. Odd
scraps of conversations may be heard
In this manner. They are probably
due TO conversations going on over
wires lying In close proximity to the
one that you are using-such CONVEX
sations causing small oscillating cur
rents which. by the process OF indnc-
ton. cause small oscillahng currents

then the agonized pair watched the
fight for llfe-skill and vitality on one
side. fierce disease on the other. When

dawn of day was looking in at the

"She Is all right now" said the doc
tor, shaking the mans hand, which
had gripped his. and feeling his heart
grow warmer under the look Of mute
gratitude the woman turned upon him.

by side ut the baby's crib. listening to
her regular breathing. Then with one
accord they turned and kissed each
other. And in that kiss the icy barrier
between them melted away.-Atlanta

SENSITIVE sElsMoGRApHs.
They Serve other Purposes Than Re.
Pc cording Earthquakes.

| cording earthquakes.
Contrary to popular belief. earth
quakes are by no means rare occur
rences. As a matter of fact practically
all places on the surface of the earth
experience some kind of tremor or
shake at least once an hour. and lesser
tremblings are even more frequent.
This fact has been established since
the opening throughout the world OF
stations where seismogfaphs record the
slightest movement OF this earth of
ours.
The seismographs can be made to
serve several other useful purposes
besides the recording ot earthquakes
Some of them are SO delicate that a
railroad train running mile away will
affect them.
Seismograph records have frequently
been produced In court to show that the
operation OF heavy machinery produced
sufficient vibration in near by buildings
to make the owners OF the factory la
BILE for damages.
Probably the most unusual purpose
TO which the seismograph has ever
been put il that OF determining the
amount Of vibration in locomotive as
a result Of unbalanced driving wheels.
Engineers have devised some ingen-
ious methods of cutting down this vi
bration. which means greatly de-
creased consumption Of coal.-New

"A good rule TO follow In rne matter
Of cutting alfalfa is TO harvest it after
the new shoots have started from the
crowns of the plants. but before they
get tall enough TO be cut with the
mower sickle. Many are guided by
the stage OF the blossoms, but observ-
ing the new growth is a safer way.

Many fruit trees that year after year
produce an abundant crop Of leaves,
but little or no fruit. have been made
productive by planting near 1t tree
