Chimney sweepina Modern.

Chimney sweeping. which has real
lied a fortune of over $150,000 for
one of its opponents in England, Is
comparatively modern profession.
None of the Roman ruins showed
chimneys like those of today. with
Areplaces and fiues, nor are any to
be found In Herculaneum or Pompeii.
The chimneys Of antiquity consisted
of hole in the roof, and kitchens
were always sooty. Braziers were
used In the living rooms. the fuel sup
piled to the wealthy classes being
carefully dried wood from which no
SCOT came: but Roman architects
used to complain that the interior
decorations of houses soon became
smoked up. The modern chimney first
was used in Europe in the fourteenth
century. The oldest certain account
OF chimney place is in Venice In
1867.

Mining Operations at aockland

The Yeringtod Times of Saturday
contains the foliosiu mining news
ofinterest:
= The extension of the Truckee River
Company's power line from Pine
Grove to Rockland was cor pleted on
the 18th inst. and the men who con-
structed IL came down from that sec.
ton and left for their homes--mostl y
in Virginia City. Dwight Leavitt,
who superintende ed Che construction,
returned to his home in Virginia City
yesterday. :. Tie line is over some
pretty rough country but it has been
substantially installed The Rockland
Co. expectsto be ready TO begin OPP
erations on quite ansextensive scale
about the first of the year. The old
mill on the property has been relnod-
eled some and the new cyanide plant
lis nearing completion. This latter is
fbelow the mill aud the system of cya-
hiding will be continuous one, the
tailings passing directly from the roll
10 the mill to the cyanide tanks. Ma
chinery and lumber is being received
now for the completion of the entire
plant. Everything in the shape of
,machinery about the mine and plant
will be operated by electricity, which
will also be used for lighting purposes
For year or more past the company
has been developing the mineand it
is estimated that ore enough has been
blocked out 10 sufficient quantity to
keep the lOO-ton plant in operation
iior two years or more. The orewill
average somewhere around $40 or $l2
in gold values, while here and there
in the property are streaks of high
grade. The company is very confident
OF the success OF its calculations and
the showings are certainly favorable
for making a nice lot Of money 10 a
legitimate mining venture
All orders have now been placed
Tor the new teaching plant OF the
Nevada. douglas Company aud the
greater portion of the material has
arrived on the ground. A iorce OF
about 30 men has been grading an1
putting in foundations for ore bins
and crushing machinery. Its hoped
to have the plant in operation by the
first of the year or shortly. The
plant is designed to treat 80 tons OF
oxodized ore day, so in reality the
plant will start With daily ca Acity
OF about $50 tons. The company will
then be 10 position TO make it's own
electroytic copper direct to the con
sumner.

BRAVERY or DISTINCT TYPES
Uncertainty Of the Battlefield Far
N Harder to Meet Than lncvls-
~ able Death.

Bravery IN the face of only possible
death. as on the battlefield. and brav-
cry In the face OF certain death, as In
the case OF a Titanic shipwreck. are.
of course, two very different things.
The danger of the battlefield Is much
harder to meet because OF its uncer-
teinty. Men easily summon courage
to meet the inevitable.
1t is the fear OF the misheps end
pe1ils of ordinary life-all our breads,
wcrrinents, anxieties, forebodings,
solic'tudcs. morbidities, apprehensions
Of illness or of pover.y-that need
most to be met and overcome A vast
literature has sprung up within the
last two decades. telling us how to be
forewarned and forenrmed against all
real and Imaginary evils.
The gist of that doctrine, boiled
down into two words is: Don't worry.
II you really must worry, then worry
as little as you can do. If you do find
yourself In sudden peril or emergency,
regard the situation calmly and keep
very cool. If you are in imminent
danger of being run over by a motor
car, preserve your presence Of mind.
for motorists assert that 1t is only the
people who lose their heads who &c.
RIA over
Exactly how nervous person, man
or woman, is to preserve the requisite
presence of mind in great and sud-
len danger has never been adequately
set forth, though many very entertain-
ing volumes have been written tc
prove the folly Of fear.

.esided in Yerington with his family
for some years and become one of our
actual residents He is a man of in

and while he may not be fully versed

edly be fair and impartial dispenser
of justice in his court. He is a Re

affiliation cuts but little figure with an
Office of this naure and Mr.. Phipps
will not object to people of all parties
voting for him on the third day of

OFF FOR CALIFORNIA.

Frank Gallagher, one of our local
contractors, left this week for San
Francisco to take charge of some
large construction work for his uncle,
who is a San Francisco contractor and
builder The work he will have charge
of will be of the approved method in
reinforced concrete construction. He
will also go to Stanford, after his
work in the city is completed, where
he will have charge of the construc-
ton of the government postoffice
work in that place. Mr.. Gallagher
believes that reinforced concrete is
the coming method of build ng, and
when he returns to Yerington he
hopes to be able to introduce some
of this kind of building here.

DEATH OF DAYTON GIRL.

Mrs. Ella Charlotte Clay, wife of
w. f. Clay, foreman on the N. c. O,
road out of Reno, died in Reno on
Friday of last week She had only
been i'll since the previous Sunday
when she was taken with a severe
pain in her side after an automobile
ride Her illness was such that ply
clans considered an operation neces-
sary, and this was performed disclos-
ing the fact that she was suffering
from peritonitis She did not recover
Mrs Clay was formerly Ella Rey-
nolds, born in Sutro about "a years
ago, and who made Dayton her home
for many years of her girlhood, and
up to the time of her marriage to Mr..
Clay, then of Wadsworth, when about
II years of age Ella Reynolds was
the eldest daughter of E. T. and
Emma Reynolds, and bright, beau
tiful and loveable girl as we knew her
from childhood up to marriage, and
her death is a sad blow to her pa
rents, relatives and friends. She, with
Mr.. Clay and children, resided in Ma
son for time something over year
ago She leaves fathre and mother,
the former now residing here, low
ing husband in Reno and two young
sons, sister, Mrs. Ivy Shaver, and
a host of friends. To the stricken pa
rents the Times joins their many
old-t time friends in extending its sin
cerest sympathy.

PLEASANT SOCIAL DANCE.

The Rink Hall was the scene OF a
very pleasant dancing party on Mon
day night of this week, given under
the auspices of the Pythian Sisters.
The hall was made attractive by the
use of the national colors festooned
along the walls and on each side of
the stage a large rosette with long
streamers showing the color of the
Lodge-yellow-m a showy orna-
mentation. The stage was daintily
decorated with plants and flowers. An
attractive feature of the evening was
the demonstration of the laest dances
by Miss Sloane, assisted by Joe Gal
lagher and Gerald Hironymous. Miss
Sloane and Mr.. Gallagher danced in
combination the twinkle waltz, uni
versal waltz, the Boston hesitation
and the Connecticut loving. Mr.. Hi
ronymous demonstrated with Miss
Sloane the San Francisco tango. The
ease and grace with which the dem
onstrators performed reflects much
credit upon the teacher. The party
was certainly social as well as a
financial success, and the Pythian Sis
ters express their appreciation OF the
hearty response by the public.

INDIVIDUAL HONEY BOXES.

Harry Warren, the bee man, has
devised system whereby he is max
ing his bees pack honey in small, in
dividual sections. This is done by plac-
ing four small sections inside of one
large, one-pound section. The small
sections are neat-looking little squares,
holding about a quarter of pound
each. They should be very convenient
for hotels, Pullman diners, and even
families Nobody likes to go into 4
hotel and scrape a portion of honey
from a plate that others have dipped
into, and this is what they have 10
do with the one pound section set on
the table Warren's device will allow
hotels to serve this beautiful, white,
comb honey in small blocks as called
for by guests, the blocks holding just
about enough honey for one individ
ual. This manner of packing should
prove popular and bring little more
money for the honey.
