EXCITEMENT AT L0YELON
OVER RICH TUNGSTEN FINDS

For the past several weeks there has
been considerable excitement at Love
lock over the tungsten discoveries be-
tween Jessup and Seven Troughs. Hun
dreds of claims have been staked out,
which lately have been changing hands
at a lively rate. For several days T.
A. Rickard, a mining engineer of na-
tional reputation, has been examining
the district, and states that it is the
best surface showing he has ever seen.
This morning l.. E. Beeson, Lovelock
druggist and mining man, accompanied
by Mr. Riekard, left for Chicago on
Southern Pacific No. 90. 1t is said that
they go to close a deal on a group Of
tungsten claims in the locality men
toned, for a consideration of $250,000.

Sad BEREAVEMENT
FOR QUICKER FAMILY

At the home Of her parents, Judge
and Mrs. Edward A. Dueker, their
daughter, Helen Claire, aged IL years,
passed away at about O'Clock last
evening. The cause of death was pneu-
monia, complicated with heart trouble,
and during her illness of about ten
DAYS, she was a patient sufferer until
death relieved her Of all earthly pain.
When the sad news was known there
were many expressions Of sympathy
for the bereaved family, and a large
number of friends called at the home
to show their respect to the departed
and offer any assistance that might be
in their power.
Helen was born in Winnemueea and
it was here she had made her home all
her life, her birthday being Decem-
Der f.
Besides her parents, deceased is sur
vived by her nine-year-old brother,
Edward, who will greatly miss his
home playmate. None but those who
have sat in the shadow Of great be-
reavement can justly weigh such a
sorrow and the sympathy of the whole
community is extended to the bereaved
family.
The funeral will be held at 4 O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon from the family
home at East Fourth and Baud streets,
interment to take place at the Masonic
cemetery.

TESTS FOR IDENTIFICATION
OF MOlYBDENUM MINERALS

In identifying minerals a knowledge
of characteristics may be as valuable
as chemical tests A short description
of molybdenum minerals is given by
Frank L.. Hess of the U. s. Geological
Survey in Resources. -
Three molybdenum minerals are fair
ly commonwealth wulfenite
and molybdenum oehre. Molybdenum,
molybdenum sulphide, Mos, 2 contain
ing so per cent molybdenum, occurs in
thin, bright, lead colored flakes, which
bend readily but are not elastic and
are easily scratched by the finger nail.
The fakes may be so minute that they
coat surface like paint, or they may
be several inches across, and they may
be regularly bounded by straight lines
and piled up into doubly terminated
hexagonal crystals. The mineral, how
ever is more likely to be found in ir-
regular humps, easily cleavable into
thin leaves. It's specific gravity is
about As.
Moylbdenite is associated with many
kinds of rocks and veins, but occurs
most plentifully in association with
granitie rocks, especially with granite
pegmatites. The deposits are invaria-
bly, pockety.
Wulfranite, lead molybdate, Pb No.
4, contains 1913 per cent Mo O,3. 1t
usually occurs as lustrous resinous vel
low, orange, or red tetragonal crystals
in the oxidized parts of lead deposits.
1t may be greenish or brownish, gray
ish or whitish or colorless. The crys-
tails are generally platy, but may be
nearly cubes or double pyramids. The
mineral is very brittle. 1t has a hard
ness of 2.75 to 3 and a specific gravity
of 6.7 to 7.
Molybdenum oebre, hydrous ferric
molybdate, Fe,2, O,3.3, MoO,7 1-2 H,2O,
generally forms a bright yellow pow
derry mineral, though it also appears
in small radial crystals. 1t is wealth
ering product of molybdenite, but is
probably never found in sufficient
quantity to be of commercial value.
Powellite, calcium bolybdate, CaATo-
OF, is a white or grayish mineral form
ed by the weathering of molybdenite.
In some specimens tungsten replaces a
part of the molybdenum. Like molyb-
denunm ochre, it is not found in de-
posit of sufficient size to be Of com
mercial value.
Any of these minerals, except mo-
lybdenite, may be tested by heating
small piece in a porcelain erucible,
particle half the size of a grain of
wheat is enough with a drop of sui
phurie acid, until the fumes have near
ly ceased. When the erueible has cool
ed, it win have a beautiful deep blue
coating.
Molybdenite must be oxidized before
it can be tested in this manner. 1t may
be oxidized either by boiling it to dry
ness with two or three drops of nitric
acid or by powdering and roasting 1T
in the air for a few minutes. The sui
phurie acid is then added and the test
performed as indicated.
When molybdenite contains no mica
or other substances harmful to steel
and difficult to separate, it is most val
liable.

II there had been a navy of re-
spectacle size In 1881 John Wingate
Weeks would now be a captain in
stead of a senator Nor would he
ever have become a banker and thus
have set at naught all the traditions of
the Weeks family for self-respecting.
capable and wholesome poverty.
And yet a psychological analysis of
inherited traits might show that the
senator comes naturally by his talents
for public affairs and finance. Any
inquiry into his personality must in
clude the Wingates. the chief of whom,
John. an Englishman, emigrated to
New Hampshire in 1860.
The Weekses and the Wingates in
termarried during the second Ameri-
can generation-the Weekses to con-
tinue as farmers, with an excursion
into potato starch, as has been re-
corded, but the Wingates to become
soldiers, preachers and statesmen.
Paine Wingate. for example, the great
grandson of John, was a member of
the Continental congress and later
senator from New Hampshire.
A Big Man Physically.
John Wingate Weeks of Massachu-
setts, in his name, therefore, goes back
to the middle of the seventeenth CEN
tury. Perhaps his gifts are equally as
ancient. Wherever they originated.
he has made good use of them. He Is
well-to-do-but has less money, per-
haps, than is often represented-anc
Republicans in Massachusetts have no
titled the country that he is their can
didate for president. If he is nomi-
mated at Chicago In June, the main
reason will have been that he Is a
business man. His candidacy, then.
will be something entirely new in ma
tional politics.
In his measurements, Captain Weeks
is a large man. A reasonable guess
at his weight would be $50 pounds.
His stature. perhaps. is FIVE feet and
eleven inches. His eyes are gray and
his manner is frank and hearty. While
at the naval academy he could slowly
raise a 112-pound dumbbell above his
head with his right hand. Then, kneel-
ing with one leg, he could slowly raise
an S7-pound dumbbell with his left
hand More than that he could lower
his hands to his shoulders and slowly
and simultaneously put both dumb
bells above his head the second time.
A muscular youth, he was recon.
mended by his principal to the "pru-
Dental committee" that called at the
academy in Lancaster on a hunt OF a
teacher for their district school. The
school was then closed-a group OF
the large boys having carried the
teacher into the road. slammed him
down in the dirt and warned him

prudential committee said. We'll

Today is Holy Thursdav


Holy Thursday is also known as
Maunday Thursday, from the Latin
"Mandatum or Command" given
by the Savior to His Apostles. 1t is
likewise called the Thursday of the
Lords Supper, being the anniversary
of the institution of the Blessed Sac
rament. Only one mass is allowed in
any church; and the solemn conseera-
tion or blessing of the oils for Bap-
tism, Extreme Unction, Confirmation
and Holy Orders takes place in the
Cathedral during the celebration of
Mass by the Bishop of the Diocese.
On Good Friday the mass is cele-
brated. The service is really "Com
munion Service" though termed the
Mass of the Pre-Sanctifed. On Holy
Thursday two large Hosts are conse-
Grated, one of which is reserved for
Good Friday There is no conservation
Of the wine Therefore the officiating
priest receives Holy Communion in one
kind only. He recites the Lord s
Prayer and a few other prayers of
mass Prayers are then recited for all
sorts and conditions of men. The pas
sion of Christ from the Gospel of St.
John is read or chanted. And then
the Crucifx, which has been covered
since Passion Sunday, is invested with
solemn ceremony. Thereupon the faith
full manifest their affection for the
Symbol of Redemption by the Venera-
tion of the Cross.
