THE GEAR IS DEAD

We are lead to believe the Czar of all the Russias is dead, because we have been informed that after a court martial he was shot. Prior to that time he was assassinated in a train near Warsaw. Since being taken pris- oner by the Bolshiviki he has been killed as many as ten times, but his latest form of death was sure. We hope that when they kill Bill, the Hun, they will make a surer job of it and really kill him until he is dead.

SILVER
 WITH CURRENCY

The hints of the United States are now melting up the coined silver dol lars to the amount of S2OO,0O0,O00 and new certificates of S1 and S2 de- nomination are being issued in place of the silver certificates that were in circulation against the silver stored in the treasury vaults. All this silver will gradually be replaced with new notes and the silver will go into bull liou for shipments to Europe and the Orient. Big purchases of bullion will soon be made to replace the silver and make possible the greater use of the metal in this country.

WILL DRILL WELLS

I.M. George and E. M. Carrow have hauled a well drilling outfit to their range in the Wallapai valley and will soon have it in operation drilling wells for water for stock purposes. At the present time there is plenty of feed, but so far from water that it is impOs- sible to get cattle upon that part of the range. With the opening of new wells cattle can be ranged all over the country.

BIG COPPER SHIPMENTS
 FROM THE EMERALD ISLE

Last Monday the Emerald Isle ship ped 1S,000 pounds of cathode and ce- ment copper from its teaching plant near Chloride. This is the largest single shipment sent out by that com pany, but it only shows the increase in the work that is now going on there.
 The company has its foundations laid for the big buildings that are to house the teaching plant and machin- cry and is working two shifts to ex- pedite the putting of the plant in com mission. The main cell house is to be 32xS6 feet and the engine room 27x4O. The floors are of concrete and the whole plant is to be fireproof. The addition of the new plant will give the company fifty cells and about treble it's amount of copper. The company now has a good we'll of water and is driving laterals to give it plenty of storage room. Many other improve ments are designed to make the prop erty one of the best copper plants in the country. The costs of cathode cop per at this plant is lower than that at the New Cornelia, at AjO, and with additional cells it should be still fur ther cut.
 The property of the Emerald Isle is one of the greatest in possibilities of any in the country and we expect that as soon as shaft sinking below the present level is started it will open up one of the great mines of the state.

Among the Chinese there has exist

lanterns. In every city, at every port
and on every river and canal, as soon
as night comes on, the lanterns make
their appearance. They are hung out
at the door of every dwelling; they
swing as pendants to the angles of the
pagoda; they form the fiery crown of
every shop front; they cluster round
the houses Of the rich and light up
the novels of the poor; they are borne
with the carriage of the traveller. and
they swing from the yards and masrs
