ORE OF GOOD QUALITY
FROM MANY POINTS At LUNING

The Luning-Idaho Mining con-
Dany. r. B. Todd, president, and j.
c. Skuse, consulting engineer, is de-
relOping a copper property in Idaho
canyon, five miles northeast of Lun-
ing, where there is a contact vein
between monzonite and silicious sed-
imentary rock and lime. The ore
consists of copper oxides in lime,
with some copper sulphides dissem-
mated through monzonite and quartz
all running 4 to Az per CEN
copper.
The contact vein is GO to 20
feet wide, the orebody within it of
varying width. 1t has been opened
at greater depth by shafts and tun-
mel levels. The contact is being
opened at greater depth by driving
a cross-cut from the face of a 800
foot tunnel. A good wagon road
has been built from Luning to the
mine. a hoist and air compressor
are to be put in and the company
will soon be shipping ore. 1t will
cost 81 per ton to deliver the ore
to the railroad at Luning.
The property of the r. b. Todd
Mining company adjoins that of the
Luning-Idaho. A cross-cut has been
driven, cutting a diabase dixie con
tanning iron oxides, carrying paying
gold values with some silver. Some
free gold is found, but most of it

The Vacation. owned by DR.. F. A
Plymire, is under lease and is a
small shipper, as is also the Copper
Reef, owned by A. c. Bachman and
r. w. Watson, who have a set OF
leasers at work. All mining in New
York canyon is by lateral develop
ment, there being no hosting and
little timbering. Most of the ore
being shipped runs 6 to 10 per cent
copper.

company, operating the Nevada
Champion and Anderson mine, four
miles east of Luning, is shipping 2C

Drank MILK From Infected Cow

John Weber, chairman of the
board of commissioners of White
Pine county. has wired Governor
Boyle hat about ter days ago a
COW at Cherry Creek in that conn
ty developed rabies and was kill
ed, but that for some time before
being killed a large number of
people had drank milk and eaten
butter, made from her milk. When
the COW developed rabies the peO-
pie became frightened and took
the matter up with the county com
missioners. The latter wired DR..
Mack of the university, who re-
piled there was no danger pro-
vided the users of the milk had
no sores through which infection
could take place. The White Pine
people now ask Governor Boyle 20
send a competent person to de-
termine if the users of the milk
should be sent to Reno for treat
ment.

MARKS OF GOOD BREEDING
Dignity That 10 Neither Formally Nor
Haughtlness-outward caImness
imperative At All Tlmss.

A well-bred carriage is difficult to
initiate; for in strictness 1t Is mega.
tive; and 1t implies a long-continued
previous training. You are not re-
quired to exhibit In your manner any
thing that specially betokens dignity;
for, by this means. you are like to run
Into formality and haughtiness; you
are rather to avoid whatever n undig-
nifed and vulgar. You are never to
forget yourself: are to keep a constant
watch upon yourself and others: to
forgive nothing that Is faulty in your
conduct. in that Of others neither to
forgive too little nor too much. Moth
ing must appear to touch you, nothing
to agitate; you must never overhaste
yourself, must ever keep yourself COM
posed, retaining still an outward calm
ness. whatever storms may rage with
in. The noble character at certain mo-
ments may resign himself to his emo
tons; the well-bred never. The latter
is like man dressed out in fair and
spotless clothes; he will not lean on
anything; every person will beware Of
rubbing on him. He distinguishes him
self from others, yet he may not stand
apart ). for, as in all arts, so In this, the
hardest must at length be done with
ease; the well-bred man Of rank, In
spite of every separation, always
seems united with the people around
him; he is never to be stiff or I'M
complying; he is always to appear the
first, and never to insist on so appear

as a dressing powder or, dissolved In

acid in solution makes an excellent
gargle for-sore threats or lotion for
sore eyes, and as 1t is not at all expen-
sive a pound box of 1t should form
part Of the domestic supplies Of every
family. Always remember that boric
acid Is nonpoisonous in any ordinary
quantity usually used, while bichloride
of mercury and carbolic acid are ex.
-ceedingly poisonous. For disinfectins
and .deodorizing drains. the crude or
unrefined carbolic acid is one Of the
best agents obtainable."

Any sailor will tell you that tn

mark shows above the water the bur-
den Of freight in the ships hold Is
not too great for her carrying capacity

England, In 1924 When he went into
the coal business he learned Of the hor

Of the British merchant marine had to

cheaper to lose an occasional ship with

THEY DROP MIDDLE NAMES
Some Extremely Nice Persons Have
Only Two Names, Is Discovery
Recently Made.

This is the day of the two-cylindef
name, which fact has been proved by
cognomen cOnnoisseurs who have
looked over every name at Harvard
and inspected the persons to whom the
names belong. They learned that some
extremely nice persons have no middle
names at all and seem to get on rather
well without them.
1T Is assumed" says a New York
Herald writer. that the ever-growing
trend toward efficiency is to be blamed
for the dropping Of oversize names, for
1t has long been understood that q per-
son with two-ply title need not be
especially embarrassed about it In
the course Of wealthy mans life II
means the writing Of about 100000
useless words if he uses his middle
name on checks and Endorsements, and
these things have got to be considered.

In the country, proves this year the
failing value of middle names. There
