DIAMOND MAKES GOOD
 SHOWING
BIG ORE BODY OPENED IN DEEPEST WORKINGS GIVES VALUES OF $32 TO THE TON.
(From Sundays Daiiy)

J. Irwin, San Diego operator, who has been working the Black Diamond near Walker, under bond and lease was advised yesterday by his fore man, Joe Algert, of strike in tho north drift at a depth of 40 feet which Is regarded as one of the most important determinations ever made in that section.
 Mir. Algcrt states that body of ore for the full 51I feet width of the drift was hit few Gays ago, and half Of it would stand shipping, with the remainder a milling grade. The values are S32 in gold, silver and lead.
 This strike Is bonafdc, and the assays were on a conservative samp- ling" was Mir. Algert's message.
 The Black Diamond is one of the oldest mines of Walker district, and was first operated in the eos. Mir Irwin took over the property last Fall. and has sunk the old shaft near ly 100 feet deeper. He stated yestcr- day shipping will now begin to Wick enburg, and with asserting, a high grade product can be given of large tonnage. The belt on which is situ- atcd this mine has been attracting general comment in recent months, and when the Homestead strike oc- cured a few months ago, mining in Walker district was materially en- hanccd by other properties becoming active. The strike in the Black Dia mond is not occasioning any surprise to those miners who arc conversant with underground conditions, but is welcomed as demonstrating another desirable proposition.

The Screw.

: The invention of the screw is
generally attributed to the old
Greek Archlr:edes, from all ac-
counts one Of the greatest scientific
thinkers and mechanicians the an
cient world ever knew. The screw
is one of the greatest things in me,
chanics, simple as it is, and adds
immensely to the unaided human
power. 1t is claimed that one man,
with the help cf the screw, can
press down or raise up as much as
200 men can without it. In addi-
ton to the invention of the screw,
Archimedes invented the sunglass,
various devices for battering down
walls and some half dozen other
valuable ways and means of prsvid-
ing power.

Simple Laxative Remedy.
Best for Constipation
DR. CaldWelrS Syrup PepSin Gave
Satisfaction When Nothing
Else Would.

Nearly every one, at one time or
another, suffers from constipation,
or inactive bowels, and one of the
few conclusions upon which the
doctors agree is that regularity of
the bowels is an essential to good
health.
In the family medicine chest Of
most well-ordered households will
be found one or more of the various
remedies recommended for the relief
of constipation. In the majority of
homes today the combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin
known as DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin is recognized as the standard
laxative. Druggists everywhere re-
port a constantly increasing demand
for this splendid remedy which is
sold for fifty cents a bottle.
Mr. James Ash. 1O2 Green St,
Cumberland, Md, wrote to DR. Cald-
well that he found DIR Caidwell's
Syrup Pepsin the most effective REM
edy for constipation he. had ever
used and that he always keeps a
bottle of it on hand for use when
necessary.

the prestige of his name and his

In his will he SAYS, with regard to

This talisman had no power to
turn aside the fatal spears of the

Crayfsh In Australia.

The crayfsh may be described as
a fresh water lobster and usually
lives a purely aquatic life, keeping
to the river bed. Some of the cray
fish found in Australia, however,
have forsaken the water and ex-
cavate burrows in damp soil. The
tunnel leading to the heart of the
burrow is fee from water, but water
is always present in the chambers at
the end where the crayfsh live.
They do much damage to artificial
watercourses in the mining districts
by riddling the banks and dams.

WHISTLER AND MOORE.
Two Versions Of tho Famous Gaming
Incident at Drury Lane.

1t was in his capacity as editor of
the Hawk that the late Augustus
Moore, journalist and playwright
of no little notoriety, enacted an
unrehearsed comedy with Whistler
that created no end of sensation
at the time. 1t happened in the
,2Stibule of Drury Lane theater in
.,don on the first night Of the
reduction of GA Million of Money"
Whistler, it appeared, had been
annoyed at sundry references to
himself in the Hawk and, coming
up to Gus Moore, who was calmly
smoking a cigarette, struck him
across the face with a cane. A
struggle followed, and, although
opinions varied as to the actual
course of the conflict, there was no
doubt about Whistler having ulti-
mately to pick himself up from the
floor.
Each Of the protagonists after
ward gave his version of the Incl
dent. Il started out" said Whis-
tier, "to cane this fellow with as lit
tie emotion as l would prepare to
kill a rat. | did cane him to the
satisfaction Of my many friends and
his many enemies, and that was the
end of it." Il am sorry" wrote
Mr.. Moore for his part, ''but | have
had to slap Mr.. Whistler. My Irish
blood got the better of me, and be-
fore l knew it the shriveled up lit
tie monkey was knocked over and
kicking ABOUT the floor
The notion, however, that he was
knocked down was characterized by
Whistler as "a barefaced false
hood" He contended that Mr..
Moore never touched him. II am
sure" lie added, II don't know why,
for he is a much bigger man than |.
Ny idea is that he was thoroughly
cowed by the: moral force of my at
tack. ! had to turn him around in
order to get at him. Then / cut
him again and again as hard as |
could, kissing out Hawk with each
stroke. Oh, you can take my word
for it, everything was done in the
cleanest and most correct fashion
possible. / always like to do things
cleanlv."

American authors no less than
English sometimes suffer for the
sins of the printer. A line of Mr..
Aldrich's which originally read "a
potent medicine for gods and men,
was misprinted "a patent medi-
cine," etc. And Mr.. Aldrich's equa-
nimity was upset on another occa-
sion because in serious mood he
wrote in one of his poems 'FNow the
old wounds break out afresh" and
was Mortified to read that he had
said "Now the old woman breaks
out afresh."-Londop Globe.
