NICKEL BY Nickel
Newspaper Man DribbIed His
Profit 10 Beggar.
Little Transaction by Which Scribe
Thought He Was to Make $2.65
Didn't End in Just That
Desired Way.

Z "A newspaper friend Of mlne," said
Mr.. Goslington, tells me of an un-
usual experience he has had, in fact is
still having with beggar.
4 he met this beggar first about a
year ago., The circumstances attend
ing this first meeting we're novel and
interesting and my friend wrote a lit
tie piece about it which was printed
in his newspaper and for which he
received So. AS he had given the
beggar nickel he figured that his
net profit on this was $685. But:
"A couple of weeks later he again
met this beggar, who again asked for
a nickel, a request that my friend did
not feel warranted in refusing. !
don't think he would have refused any
way, my friend being an easy mark
for beggars; but having profted by
his original transaction with this beg
gar, he felt impelled to hand over this
second nickel promptly, thus reducing
his net on this little piece to $3.50.
ut wasn't long before my friend
discovered that this beggar lived some
where In his neighborhood and made
that part of the town his quarry for
now he used to meet him here and
, there by intervals. Not always, by
any means, when they met did the
beggar approach him; commonly they
passed each other as any other two
might do, with no sign of recognition |;
but once In a while the beggar would
ask for a nickel, which always my
friend gave. In this way In the course
Of three months he gave up 80 cents,
thus reducing the net Of that SO to
$2.65. Then my friend had an idea.
! HE foresaw that if this went on
indefinitely as there seemed every in
dication it would do, the beggar would
! get all of the SO, which to my friend
i seemed scarcely reasonable. But he
did think that an even division would
be no more than right to the beggar,
and so when the So got down to S2.65
he set aside, in his mind, S1.15 as a
drawing account to the beggar's credit,
and he said to himself that when thus
the original fund had been evenly d.
vided he would stop giving and con-
slider that he had done the square
thing.
"Well, my friend tells me that, count
ing nickel that the beggar drew yes.
terday, he has now drawn $1.40, SO
that now it is question of a very few
weeks only, three or four at the ut.
most, when the beggar will have drawn
his full share.
Then, my friend says, he is go
ing to shut down and keep the rest
himself; but what I think he will do
will be to keep on paying till the
whole three dollars is gone, his orig
inal profit being thus wiped out COM
pletely. I don't know what he can do
then, unless he should write, covering
all his experiences with this unusual
beggar, another and longer story; NOV
ing then to another part Of the city"

QUICKSILVER CAMP Furnaces
ARE RUNNING ONCE MORE

The concrete cooling tanks at the
Quicksilver Mines company plant in
Jersey Valley have been completed
and the furnaces are again discharg-
ing the quick.
The plant, which was installed as
a test plant, has proved to be a sue
cess. the result of which was a ship
ment of twenty TASKS of quicksilver
last week with other shipments to
follow.
Quicksilver has advanced in price
from $72 to sos a flask within the
past fcw weeks. which fact, together
with the tonnage in sight at the
mines, gives the owners great en-
enlargement.
The development work at the mines
is proving the value of the property
where six men are at work at present.
The veins are widening and high
grade ore is becoming more in evil
dence.-[Battle Mountain Scout.

BROUGHER VEIN IN
500 LEVEL, DIVIDE

Intense excitement will prevail
throughout the Divide and Tonopah
districts when the fact becomes
known that the southeast crosscut
from the 560-foot level of the Tonopah
Divide mine has penetrated the great
Brougher vein and that ten feet of
ore is showing that will carry values
of better than $3.50 a ton.
The showing on this level equals
that found in any of the upper work
ings. and again proves that the vein
is persistent to great depth. Facts re-
garding the discovery were unobtain-
able. but it was generally known by
those in close connection with the
management of the property that a
sensational find had been made.
This find is one of the most i'm
portant that has been made in the
Divide district since the Divide Exten-
sion, Dividend, and Consolidated COM
panies made announcement of won
derful discoveries. 1t proves the ore
shoot will be found extending to great
depth and will result in development
upon scores of properties being rushed
at top speed.
To penetrate the Brougher vein at
the 560-foot level of the Tonopah Di-
vide, it became necessary to crosscut
for approximately $50 feet. However.
it will unquestionably be found as
wide. if not wider. than has resulted
in the workings above, which means
that millions of dollars will flow into
the channels of industry in due course
of events.-[Tonopah Times.

Although only a th%ree-hour boat trip
separates England and Ireland. there
Is as much difference as between day

food is concerned, says the New York

Ireland Is not ratIoned voluntarily
or otherwise. and there Is plenty OF
everything. with the exception Of SUI
gar. In respect to food II is more
pleasantly situated than the United
States or England. because prices have
not advanced rs they have In America.
and are no higher than In England.

always has sent quantities Of meat
and dairy products TO England and

HAS A GOOD SOUND

L. N. Clark of the Virginia Chron-
icle, who spent a portion of yesterday
in Carson City. comes down the hill
with plenty of good news of what's
doing up there. He states that more
men are working, better times are
being experienced, and the mines are
looking better than in many years.
Bullion shipments are increasing and
the Mexican mill is running full time
pounding out bullion. Clark. who
keeps his finger on the pulse of the
old town, is certainly optimistic. and
has good reason to be, as results are
showing in the bars of silver and gold
that are turned out regularly.-[Car-

PRECIOUS METAL FINDS ARE
CONSTANTLY BEING REPORTED

1t is a pleasure to note that every
exchange in Nevada comes with the
tidings of new precious metal finds in
the State. For a time mining had to
be neglected, owing to the price of
silver and other metals. No matter
what the stock market does, as that
is a gamble, the State is coming into
prominence as the greatest mineral
section in the world. Nevada is es-
sentially a mining state, and the
money made during the war by the
big concerns will naturally look this
way for Investment Editorial in

resolution asking fair play for Ireland at the hands of the paace conference

That the Senate of the United States earnestly requests the American
peace commission 1t Versailles to endeavor to secure for Edward De Valera
Arthur Grfffths, and Count George Noble P1ukett a hearing before said peace
conference in order that they may present the cause of Ireland.
Upon a yea and nay vote being demanded by Senator Borai sixty senators
favored the resolution. and but one, a Democrat, recorded ainself agai1sf it.
