Into the Louis XIV room, where Nicholas Van Ploon and Miss Van Ploon sat with unusual impress slveLess, Mrs. Davies came arrayed in the black velvet afternoon gown which gave her more stateiness and more impressive dignity than anything ln her wardrobe. Miss Van Ploon, who was true member of the family, in that she considered the Van Ploon entity before any individual, quite ap- proved of Mrs. Davies. and was in no- wise jealous of being so distinctly out shone in personal appearance.

 Mrs. Helen Davies dropped patient reason instantly. She was aware of an i1apnlsive wish that Gail were in pinafores, and her own child, so she could box her eess.

He has so much money that you could buy a Kingdom and be a queen, if you chose to amuse yourself that way. He has a dignified old family, which makes mere social position seem like an ignomini- ous scramble for cotillion favors and It is universally admitted that he is the most perfect of all the Van Ploons for many generations.

IUSCARORA HAS
A GREAT FUTURE

A party consisting Of Mr.. Edmund
X. Stallo and Judge Rockwell Of New
York City are here today on return
trip from San Francisco. They are
brought here by their interests at Tus-
carora, where they will go tomorrow
to look over the properties which they
have recently purchased. Together
with Roy Primeaux, they will journey
to Tuscarora tomorrow and plan the
improvements they intend to make
there; they expect to return to Elko
tomorrow evening and resume their
trip hack to New York Immediately.
Their coming, at this time is aus
picious for the mining camp in which
they are interested. For when men
leave their comfortable homes In New
York, and come on long trip of this
kind in mid-winter, 1t proves that they
are intensely interested. For men Of
their calibre to be interested in a
mining district that has so much real
worth behind 1t as Tuscarora possess
es, means much. No doubt when the
first birds of spring begin to sing, a
couple of months hence, Tuscarora
will stand face to face with the bright
est, most prosperous year that she
has ever known. For this party is
planning some big things for our
neighboring mining camp. and as soon
as the snow is gone, Tuscarora will
have a prosperity that even her most
successful past years have never equal
led. For Tuscarora has the ore, and
all that 1t has needed during these
years of idleness has been sufficient
capital to start operations, and now
that the legal entanglements are clear
ing UP. the old camp will hum with
activity and prosperity.
