East PerdictS
IS Cent Silver

n. r. Schade, a wide-awaKe citi-
zen OF Tonopah who has been in Car
son the past few days on business
matters, has recently returned to Ne
vada from a three months soJourn iii
Chicago. In that city, he says, there
is every evidence of returning pros
perity and building has taken on a
stimulus that has been noticeably abb
sent for a number OF years. MeT-
chants are swamped with ORDERS, do
mestic and foreign, and have been
compelled to add to their working
forces.
All through the east, Mr.. Schade
states, there is a feeling that the price
of silver will reach Is cents an
before it strikes its level. In Tono-
pah, however, the impression is thas
it will ascend to 90 cents and then
stop. The latter figure means big
profits to the Tonopah mine owners,
but Is cent silver would start a boom
that would put the one of 1866 il
the shade.

In Travels About the State Had
Several Encounters With Coyotes

J. w. Sitton, formerly assessor 81
Churchill county, who with Warren
Noteware, was appointed special APP
praiser in the disputed tax cases Ct
E1ko, Lander and Humboldt count
les, is in town after a long trip over
the counties named, looking over the
real estate holdinss OF the ranchers
and others who are interested in the
equalization of taxation values. He
is hereto check up the work done in
the field. :.
Mr.. Sitton tells some interesting
tales of his experiences in the great
country of distances. For instance,
one rancher has a streak of land run
ming thirty miles along a creek, very
narrow, but making an area when
taken as a whole. After looking over
this particular piece, it was necessary
to go about thirty miles across the
trackless desert to look over another
piece belonging to the same man.
About half way, the auto broke down,
beyond temporary repairs, and he
and his driver had to hoof it for iii
teen miles without water. He says

Interesting
Labor Statistics

Some very interesting information
and statistics concerning labor and
its employment were obtained from
Labor Commissioner Wallace this
morning. From the May reports re-
ceived in his office and compiled, 1t
shows there are 900 establishments
in the state, which includes thirty
eight industries which employ 1900
males arfl 400 females over 10 years
of age. Included in these figures are
thirty-seyen males and three females
under 10 years of age.
The average wage for males is
1881 per day and $l.95 for females,
and the average hours worked. male
five to twelve, and females, three to
twelve hours a day. Fifty-five indus
tries maintain hospitals. The thirty
nine mine hospitals receive from
mine employees, 1880 in number, $4,-
All per month as hospital fees,
while the railroads, with 4,221 en-
ployes, receive $4,000 per month.
The total number of employed in the
state as reported to the labN com
mission for May, male and female, is
1856.

he has had many similar experiences,
though none quite so bad.
Tn travelling from Winnemucca TO
Go1conda one night the auto ran over
a rabid coyote and killed him. The
savage brute refused to give way TO
the snorting gasoline wagon and the
driver just gave it more gas and ran
over the animal. In all he has shot
and killed three mad coyotes from
the seat of the car.
Mr.. Sitton says that in the north
ern counties, Humboldt, Elko and
Lander, the ranchers and cattle men
have been busy killing the dangerous
pests and they are becoming scarce,
though occasionally one may be seen
from the roads.
In the southern part of the state,
however, not much has been done yet
to eliminate the nuisance and there
are plenty of them roaming the flats.
A short time ago a rabid coyote came
right into the town of Hazen and
chased all the dogs in town away
from home. Dogs have an instructive
fear of the wild mad dogs and unless
they are in great numbers will not
attack them.

another evidence Of his slyness Sun

Fred has been acting suspiciousiy

and a rose in his coat, three or four
evening S a week. He was even
charged with writing poetry, too, but
there is 10 positive proof that he did.
His appetite was good and he did not
wear a wan and haggard look, so DR..
Jarrett, after giving the case a great
deal OF study, decided that there was
no danger Of Mr. Stewart catching
matrimony. But Fred fooled them
all.
Sunday evening he gave his friends
the slip and went west to enjoy the
exclusive society Of the charming lit
tie woman who has solemnly promis-
ed to love and cherish him all her
life. The brides name vas Miss
Edith Stock of Paradise Valley,
Humboldt county.
A private and confidential dispatch
from Los Angeles says that Mr.. and
Mrs. Stewart reached the city on
time and registered at the Alexandra
hotel. "Will you have the bridal
chamber" inquired the clerk, BEAM

VERY FEW LIVE LONG
And Why This Is True Of Those Who
Live in the Present,

ana why ! MS Is rue or ] nose VINO
Live in the Present.
Scientists who see today how few
people live to be 100 years old find
themselves at a loss to explain how
Methuselah managed to live $50 years,
while Noah reached the respectable
age of sos years. Recently, however,
a discovery has been made which
helps to explain this mystery, says the
Washington Post.
When the causes of short life now
adays are counted up it is found that
most of the deaths are due to disease.
Very few people die from old age. And
the reason why people die from any
one disease is that they have been
weakened by other illnesses which
they have had or which have been
handed down to them by their ances-
tors. For example, one widespread
social scourge which weakens the
constitution of many men and women
was probably unknown in primitive
times.
To some of these diseases the hu-
man race has become so accustomed
that it is immune. Measles will kill
off a whole Indian tribe, but among
the white races it is only an annoying
childhood malady. But the variations
of disease increase far more rapidly
than the immunity.
Noah and the patriarchs didn't have
nearly as many different kinds Of dis
eases to face because they hadn't had
enough ancestors to hand them down
variety. Consequently their consti-
tutions were not constantly being
weakened as are ours today. For ex-
ample, there is no reference in very
ancient literatures to a cold in the
head. The Greeks and Romans seem
to have been the first peoples to suf-
fer from it.
The real reason why the patriarchs
lived longer than we do now was be-
cause in those days the fount of hu-
manity was fresher While immunity
to certain diseases has been handed
down to us by our parents, we have
also received the weakened vitality
which was theirs as result Of their
fight against disease. Sooner or later
the race will become immune to tuber-
culosis, but with that immunity will
come the diminished power as a result
of mankind's long fight against the
white plague.

Printing for the BIind.-One Of the
noblest works Of man has been efforts
to lead his blind brother, and especi-
ally to enable him to read by his sense
Of touch. A number Of publications
for the blind are shown in an exhibit
Of the graphic arts division Of the
United States National Museum In
the Smithsonian building in Washing
ton.
The first efforts in this connection
are credited to a Spaniard named
Francesca Lucas, who planned the en-
craving Of letters on blocks Of wood
in the sixteenth century. His scheme
was followed in 1910 by a system of
cast lead letters planned by Pierre
Moreau Of Paris, who unfortunately,
had not the means to carry out his
idea. Then followed systems Of diff
ferent sorts-pins set in cushions,
wooden letters, the movable metal let
ters Of Du Puiseaux, the letters cut
in cardboard, and pricked maps made
by r. Weissemburg, a German, with
which he succeeded in teaching Mile.
Paradis, a talented musician.
The honor of being the first to in
troduce printing for the blind in raised
characters like embossing is attributed
to Able Valentin Hauy Of Paris. who
effected his plan in 1874, the result OF
his accidentally discovering that his
blind pupil could read parts Of a
printed card heavily indented by the
types. Relief printing was the re-
suit.

But" said the lady who handled

That is because 1 do not wish my

he bowed the ladies out with great
dignity.
