BORN OF EMPRESS DREAM
Persian Legend Concerning the Design
and Construction Of the Beau.
tIfuI Tai Mahal.

A beautiful story, which Is rot gen.
orally known, Of the creation OF the
Tai Mahal Is hidden away In the
pages of the Persian manuscripts. The
emperor wished to commemorate his
undying devotion and esteem for his
beloved ~consort. but nothing satisfied
his ambition. until day Arjumand
told him that in a dream she had seen
the noblest and most perfect of
monuments, which II actualized. would
be unparalleled In the whole world for
its matchless beauty. The emperor
sent for experts from all over the en-
pire and commanded them to design the
architecture OF the dream. They la
bored TO no effect; they could not Wis
ualize the dream. At last one day an
old venerable Pr ascetic presented
himself. who said: II can help you to
obtain what you seek"
He then presented a mysterious po-
ton to one Of the architects, before
whose dazed eyes the lovely monument
In all its glory was revealed. The
magic of the potion lasted while he
drew the plan in all its detail. then
he fell back exhausted. The empress,
seeing the design of her vision real
lied, was full of Joy and the emperor
at once set to work to have this edifce
constructed. The imposslbility Of lay
ing a firm foundation next presented
itself. The swampy character Of the
banks of the silvery Jumna made II
impossible to erect any construction
that would stand, until, In another
dream, it was revealed that the basis
must be Of silver. Today the Tai
stands. like an ethereal drop Of flaw
less pearl, on its foundation Of solid
silver-breathing forth the poetry of
Its conception:
"Sweeter to rest together dead.
Far sweeter h 10 live ~asunder."

STATUS OF BEE INDUSTRY
SHOWN BY ASSESSMENT ROLLS

According to returns made by the
county assessors, the total value of
bees in Nevada, at $3.50 per stand,
is s27,4S5. OF this amount, Lyon
county takes first rank, with a total
bee-stand valuation of $13, 1886.
Pershing county ONE next with
$685.. Then follow Churchill, Clark,
Washoe, Douglas, Elko, Mineral Nye,
Humboldt and Ormsby, in the order
named. There are no stands of bees
in Esmeralda, Eureka, Lander, Lin
coin, Storey and White Pine counties,
according to the assessment rolls.
The State law makes provision
for payment of $500 per year for
an inspector of apiaries. Taxes
amounting to s1S4.2S will accrue to
the State from the s27,4S5 worth OF
stands of bees.-GCarson City News.

POST MAN

The Lander (Wyo) Evening Post
recently concluded a circulation cam
paign under the management Of the
same company which served The Sill
yer State last month. And as this is a
sort of Circulation campaign edition"
it may be interesting to note what
the Wyoming newspaper said at the
finish Here Is its article:
Well. the Evening Post circulation
campaign is a matter of history. and
now. two days after the closing. We
wish to say that there was nothing
in the entire campaign. from start
to finish, that was not pleasant. while
the counting OF the votes at the Lam
der State Bank, Saturday night. sat
isfied every candidate of the absolute
fairness of the race.
The Post nov has a circulation
that compares favorably with the cir
culation lists of all other newspapers
in the county combined. For this the
management wishes to express its
warmest thanks to those energetic
little whose efforts have
brought this about. There is not one
of them who does not deserve an
automobile. and while of course this
office could not afford any such thing
there is the satisfaction of knowing
that every contestant will get some
thing well worth winning as a par.
tial reward for the excellent work
done. And every one of them had hel
chance at the big money"

| confess coming as a skeptic. I have
been shown and convinced, and I see
no reason why Tuscarora, with the
enhanced price of silver, should not
again come into its own and, like Eu-
reka, set a pace for modern mining
and show results that will outrival
Tuscarora's splendid past. Let me
add, the Rose property is n of the
best things l ever saw"
Sam Wilcox, who is largely inter-
ested in the property, was all sun
shine from what he saw and the en-
thusiasm of his friends, as he had
persuaded them to make the trip to
see the property.
Il told them," said Mr.. Wilcox, that
they would see a golden hill. They
were cynical; therefore it makes me
happy tt hear their expressed convic-
ton that this is the finest and best
thing they have e for years. With
my experience as an old sourdough
in the Alaska placer fields, I was inn
pressed with the possibilities the first
time 1 saw the property. The Rose
area is one of the main ource that
made that gravel gold, and from
which, as government records show,
some $1,000, 900 worth of placer gold
was taken; and l predict from pres
ent showings, greater things for Tus-
carora than were known in the past.
Mining north of Elko surely has a
fine future"
C. d. Seymour, who has purchased
a number of properties in this section
since last spring, said:
Since last spring 1 have visited
many properties, but have seen moth
ing to compare with what l have seen
this day. The showing is surprising.
If conditions and the showings are
indications of anything. then, like
some of our great copper properties,
the dissemination of gold and silver
through the porphyritic structure, in
addition to the gold and silver bear
ing veins, means a massive body of
ore that can be worked probably by
modern methods. l am impressed
with Tuscarora. Eureka has the lead
in regeneration, and Tuscarora, from
what l have seen this day, will fol-

The conference report, presented to

and marine and all woman nurses in
the American forces bonus of $50.
Besides this years tax levy of about
$4,000, 100000, further treasury needs,

emption for each minor dependent,
