QUICK SILVER HAS ADVANCED
TO $3.50 PER FLASK

Quicksilver was quoted in New York
yesterday morning at $3.50 a flask.
This is the highest price on record. 1t
compares with $l05 ON December /,
500 in October and November, $50 in
July to September, $50 in April to
June, and s57 at the beginning of the
year. The increase so far this year
has been $73. The production of quick
silver in this country is gradually re-
ceding. In 1914 the output was 16,500
TASKS and this year it will be about the
same. OF late years the output has
been decreasing at the rate of between
5000 and 10000 TASKS annually. Cali
fornia supplies considerable part of
the United States production. The re-
cent rise in price has been due prima-
rily to the fact that imports are no
longer possible, embargoes having been
placed on shipments from Austria,
Spain and italy.

FAMOUS CANNES SECURED
BY BATTLE MOUNTAIN MAN

The pair of sheep dogs that delight
cd thousands of people by their almost
human intelligence in herding sheep al
the Panama Pacific International Ex-
position, are now the property of Geo
i. Kaeding, of Battle Mountain, who
secured them at the close of their ex,
position engagement.
These dogs, the finest representatives
of strain peculiar to the sheep sec.
tions of the Scotch highlands, were
brought over to the United States b
their owner under contract for daily
performances at the Exposition.
Those who saw the dogs at the Ex-
position take a dozen sheep out of a
pen, herd them in and out around poles
and then back and forth through a
Maltest cross in the center of the fell
all without any assistance, will be
glad to hear that such an intelligent
strain of dogs is to be established in
the west. They are equally efficient in
herding cattle and horses.-Journal.

fense was Bernard Clark, the defend
ant He testified that on the day of
the shooting ne went up to the mime

Ioining ground in the southern part OF
the state; that while he was there
Hendra and several other men came up
for the avowed purpose of performing
annual labor on the ground; that be
told them it was his ground and ad-
vised them not to 90 to work; that
their appearance was unexpected and
that he had never discussed the prob
ability of their attempting to take pos
session of the mine with anyone, and
had not arranged or conspired to re
fist them.

RAILROADS ESTIMATING
NEXT YEARS WOOL CLIP

Railroads maintaining offices in Salt
Lake have received numerous inquiries
from wool buyers in st. Louis, Chicago
Baltimore and Boston regarding the
wool crop of Utah, Idaho and Nevada
for the coming year. The inquiries are
on printed forms and desire that ques-
tions be answered concerning the num-
her of sheep in the three states and
also the prospective amount of the
wool clip. The buyers say they will be
liz the market for approximately thirty
million pounds of wool next year.
The Wabash road, which handles a
large amount of the western wool from
the Missouri river east, has already be-
gun work on the compilation of the
statistics desired by the eastern buy
ers. The Oregon Short Line and Den
yer & Rio Grande freight departments
will also figure on the wool crop of
rext spring. The Salt Lake Route will
give an estimate of the number of
pounds which will be clipped along its
hne, and in addition local dealers will
be asked concerning their opinion of
the wool clip.-Herald- Republican.

MODERN SEISMOGRAPH FOR
NEVADA STATE UNIVERSITY

A modern seismograph ordered near
~ two years ago from a German fac
tory, arrived Thursday at the Universi.
~ and is installed in the Mackay
School of Mines. The instrument is OF
the most modern type and will record
not only vertical and horizontal trem-
blors, but also the time of duration of
the shock and the exact moment when
it began.
Prof. J. C. Jones, geologist at the
Maekay School of Mines, who has
been making study of the recent
earthquake disturbances in this local.
ity, will be able to determine the
source of all disturbances of this ma
ture. There are similar instruments at
Berkeley and Santa Clara, and the
three form perfect equilateral and
give the geologist a mathematical ba-
sis to work out the center of disturb
aHce. ~
Besides the seismograph several
other measuring instruments were in
the shipment, which was consigned to
the physics department.

INTERCHANGEABLE
Mint AND JAIL

Should the government turn the mint
building in Carson into a Jail, it would
have little difficulty to turn it back
into mint, open for the "free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of Is to l without the consent of any
other nation,' using the melting YER
biage that has caught the vote of many
feeble-minded citizen. Meanwhile,
and / mean quite while, the building
can be used as Jail, and Carson will
OF object to feeding bootleggers, while
waiting the advent of lootbeggars.
However, / extend my abjeet apol-
ogies to Pat Mulcahy, the testy and
peppery editor of the Sparks Tribune,
for stating in a former letter that the
mint looked like Jail. Pat used to
work in the mint when it looked like
a haven for birds of paradise and of
passage, and felt like it by those who
nested and feathered on the inside.
Salaries were high and work light.
Sparkling eyes spake to eyes that
sparkled back again, and made the la
bor a labor of love. Carson supported
stock theatrical company, led by Sue
Robinson, and to take a mint girl to
the phoW W ste tHc oCtOIuOh VI
East Lynne" performed by Sue, and
little bag of peppermint really made
a julip, with the accent on both sylla-
bles.
bear in mind the omnipotent power
that raises the curtain ON the dream
of life also lowers it, and, looking at
the unwirking eye, fixed upon the actor
when life's sun casts its iengthening
shadows to the east, it is then that
we look backward and enjoy over again
the pleasant experiences of life.
therefore do not blame Pat for his ex-
pressions of adherence over my sug-
eestion of turning the mint into Jail
But business is business, and its mex
orable laws must be obeyed. OF course
7 should cite authority for my greedy
contention: The United States of

cidentallv of business), sold the old
fIigate Constitutin for junk, in order
to raise funds to buy bullets to save

Carson has the right, following suit, to
sacrifice the endearing reeollections Of
the mint and have it turned into a Jail

protection, as the Short Line road af-
