PRosPEcToRs IN EVIDENCE

Not in years has there been so many
prospectors in the hills of Churchill
and adjoining counties. Scarcely
day passes but that one or more out
fits are fitted out in Fallon. The re-
cent advance in the prices on all
metals and the demand for rare metals
has stimulated the desert rats" to
unwonted activity. The undoubted ap-
proach of spring has contributed its
share in causing feet to itch and the
call of the wild to become irresistible.
AS a consequence we look forward
to one of the most exciting and pro
ductive years in the history OF Ne
vada mining. Standard.

JAYANESE SHIPPING
ENJOYING A BOOM
NiPPoNESE ARE TAKING FULL
ADVANTAGE OF THE REQUIRE
MENTS OF THE WAR

IVY NsrurhutfN t-feNN.f
TOXIC, Mar. lS-The great boom
and prosperity for Japanese shipping
as the result OF the war is being taken
advantage of here to the utmost. For
tunes are making in the shipping busi-
ness and prices for freight steamers
have risen to practically limitless
figures.
The continuing demand for more
ships has induced the Japanese de-
partment of communications to sum
marize the exact situation of Japan
ese shipping. The. investigation
shows that Japan's progress is not due
to the war alone, though il has OF
course been immensely stimulated by
il. but has been going on for the last
fifteen years. Japan now has 2,l32
vessels of over twenty tons register
with total tonnage of 1903 while
the number of vessels of over 1000
tons is 416 with total tonnage of
1881 1903. There are 66 merchant
steamships, each of 5000 tons or over,
now sailing under the flag OF Japan.
Six new freight-carrying steamships
have been launched within month.
The shortage of shipbuilding ma
terial Is being felt in all docks, but as
far as the stock is available the wori
is being pushed on day and night ant
some shipowners have even offered
prizes for the completion of ship be
fore contract dates. A striking exam
ple of quick building was the steame
Taisho Maru. recently completed TO
the Hokuyo steamship company whicl
was launched within three months
and a half after the laying of the keel
and trimmed for navigation in thre
weeks. That a ship of 5000 tons wa
completed in such a short period !
a record in the annals OF Japanes
shpbuilding.
Japan's great commercial fleet ha
come into existence since 1884 whe
vapan really began to build ship
of iron. For period of about ~
years, between the seventeenth an
nineteenth centuries. the building
over so tons net was prohibited 3
the government and 1t was not unit
the arrival of Commodore Perry fro
the United States that Japan becan
awakened to the necessity OF layir
down ocean-going vessels. the hr
steel vessel was built in 1890.

Tho Glare of Liqht.

Persons who shrink from the glare of light, as distinguished from those who shrink from, light itself. suffer from what Dr. Ernest Clarke calls photoaugiophobia. It Is due to defl ciency in the pigment of the retina and is especially marked in albinos. Sir William Crookes invented glass that cuts off the infra red as well as the ultra violet rays. which cause the trou. ble.
 The Medical Record says that any one with q tendency to shrink from the glare should be careful to shade his eyes with a suitable cap. should work or read with well shaded lights; his desk should never face window. and his apartments should be decorated in cool neutral tints. dull sage green be- ing the best.

Care Without Climate Is Better Than
 Climate Without Care.
 A bulletin uf the North Carolina state beard of hcaith gives out the following bit of advice to cuI sumptivcs. eslIecial- ly to those who are prone to go away to take the "climate cure" It says:
 Care without climate is q far better cure for tuberculosis than climate with out care. and unless one has the price for both he had better remain ut home and have the best care that he can afford"
 The reason for this advice is found i'll the now well known fact that con sumption can be cured anywhere. And because this is truc." says the bulletin. it is far better for n patient of mod crate means to remain at home and take treatment at q nearby sanitarium than it is for him to seek some advcr. tised climate or resort without means to secure the proper care and treat ment that his disease demands and that he might otherwise have.
 "Rest. complete rest. freedom from worry or care, is now considered per haps the most vital factor in the cure of tuberculosis. and this the tubercular traveller with moderate means is not likely to have. The secret of the eli mate cure. after all." advises the bulle tin. 'is living out in the open air day and night. and this is as practical in North Carolina as much of the year as in many of the western states.
 Taking the cure is much of game, anyway. If you play to win you win; if you are careless and indifferent yon are more likely to lose than to win."

The Serious Matter of the Selection of
 Suitable Career.
 Given q basis of good character, good health and thoroughness. the choice of life work is the next great influence upon boy. Many parents foredoom their son to failure by trying to force him to gratify their ambitions in a call ing for which he has neither interest nor ability instead of helping him to develop his own individuality.
 The false idea that there is soc1al dis tinction in certain professions is the basis of many failures that might have been successes in other callings.
 Wherever we look we see failures. many of whom were men of undoubted ability, whose talents were misdirect. ed. You whose sons have their future all before them can guard against shipwreck by studying their taste. di recting their abilities and discussing with them the problem of their future. If you cannot afford to see them through long term of training for some profession discuss the matter freely so that they will appreciate the necessity of turning their interest into other channels-unless they can work their way through their training with out impairment of health.-lsaac Ded- ham in Mothers Magazine.

RELIEF PARTY
 VISITS ISLAND Anchorage Expedition to Fire Island Returns and Reports that Island Not Been Visited for Months.

Advices reached Seward from An chorage last Saturday that the rescue party which left Anchorage to go to the relief of the party which was be- lievcd to be marooned on Fire Island had returned to Anchorage and re- ported that they found the island un- inhabited and were unable to find any signs of anyone having been on the island for months.
 All sorts of rumors have been in circulation in Anchorage regarding the identity of the party who were believed to be on the island. The launch Traveller was reported lost, but when the Dora arrived at Seward from the westward she brought the news that the boat was at Seldovia, where she was awaiting the arrival of engine parts as she had suffered a slight mishap.
 WI en the Traveller was reported safe rumor connected the Onward with the fire signals which were re- ported to have been seen on Fire Isl- and and the business men of Anchor age subscribed to a purse in order to send rescue party to the island. An additional sum of $25 was offered as bonus for the first man reaching the place where the Onward's crew were believed to be perishing from hunger and cold. The investigations of the Anchorage people have set at rest all anxiety on the part of the rel atives of the members of the launch crews.

JOSEPH J. SMITH
 WAS NOTED CROOK
Man Who Victimized Valdez Business Houses Last Summer Appre-
 hended in California City.

Joseph B. Smith, who victimized several Valdez business houses last summer by means of forged checks while working on. the construction of the F'rye-Bruhn building, has been apprehended in Bedding, Calif., where he secured several hundred dollars from the Bedding National bank.
 Smith was one of the smoothest crooks operating in the western states and had eluded the detectives of 1he American Bankers Association for years, and is believed to have se- cured thousands of dollars during the past few years by issuing forged checks. He claimed to be special writer and all the forged checks were purported to have been drawn on the First National Bank of Philadelphia for articles written for the saturday Evening Post.
 A copy of the Journal of the Amer ican Bankers Association received in the last mail, shows an excellent likeness of Smith, who also went un- der the name of Robert B. Jones when it suited his convenience. He had |serv. two enlistments in the aLmy and .ne in the navy, having used that las a means of evading the detectives when hard pressed.
 Smiths sporting proclivities were wei! developed ard he spent mu u::. of his spare time while in Valdez fish ng and looking for game. Being pos .css- led of an affable disposition he made many friends and as the checks which he passed on the Pinzon Cigar stor, and the First Bank of Valdez appeared to be genuine he had no diff |ficulty in securing. the money on them. In order to make the case stronger Smith also had forged letters written on stationery of the Saturday Even ing Post, thanking him for his con- 'tributions and mentioning the fact that a check for his last story had been remitted to him.
 According to the Bankers Journal the torger worked one of the smooth est games at Bedding known to de- |tectives. The bank had refused to cash the check which he presented nn- less he could be identified by some one known to the cashier. To over come the difficulty Smith hunted up an old acquaintance who had known him twenty years ago, but who was ignorant of his recent escapades, to identify him.
 He profited to the extent of S15O which he secured from the Pinzon Cigar store and $62.50 from the Tirst Bank of Valdez while visiting in ' al- dez.
