WHITES TO ABSORB MAoRIs?
That Fate, Rather Than Extinction,
Said to BE Assured to New Zea-
land Tribe.

The ingenious explanation that they
wouldn't have eaten neighbors had
beef, mutton or pork been more album
dant on the early New Zealand market
stamps the native Maoris as race
with working brains, and their ply
siques have long been praised. 1t is
not surprising, therefore. that, as a
correspondent records, these aborig-
inals are among the few in modern
times who, instead of promptly vanish
ing. will doubtless be absorbed into the
white mans family.
Fifty thousand pure-bred MaOris still
remain, half of whom are practically
civilized. Many have attained to high
political position. There are four Mao
ri members in the house Of representa-
tives, two in the legislative council
and one is an important minister in the
executive council.
Themselves POlynesians of remote
East Indian blood, these natives, be it
added, are not strictly aboriginals.
They are thought to have displaced,
a la table dhote, some 500 years ago a
savory stock Of Melanesians or Pa
puanS."

MINE AT LUNING
2 TO BE DEVELOPED

Plans are now being made to
finance for further development the
Silver Chief Mines Company, own
ing a group of five claims Sl-z
miles from Luning, on the road to
Rawhide. The company has already
spent $4,000 in development work
and, according to DR.. B. J. Baker, OF
Yerington, Fiscal agent, the result
has been far beyond expectations.
Most of the work has been done
in the Neglected and Chance claims
which are considered the best of the
group. The main workings in the
Neglected claim consist OF an 8O-foot
crosscut tunnel, with drift, wines
wines and raises from it. There IS
also an intermediate level above the
tunnel. The main drift i'll the vein
extends IS feet east and $50 feet west
from the tunnel. Ore has been ex-
tracted on both sides OF the shaft and
on the intermediate level. The upper
Chance workings consist OF cross
cut tunnel driven 90 feet to the vein
and a 6O-foot drift that connects
with 35-foot shaft. Stopping has been
done on both sides of the shaft for a
distance Of 60 feet. These slopes ex-
tend to the surface. Below this tun-
mel is another that is 225 feet long.
Fifty assays have been taken.
according to DR.. Baker, ito detss-
mine how and where the values oc-
Cured, the main object being to de-
termine what grade ore had been
produced and what could be expected
with the developmnt OF other ore
shoots"
A report on the geology OF the dis
trict says: "The main country rock
of this property is coarse grained
crystalline rock showing large crystals
Of fcldspar, quartz. biotite and chic
rite. The veins, one to four feet wide.
are composed of quartz and tale. The
orc contains lead, copper and silver in
sulphide form. The outcrop df the
vein can be traced for 1000 feet. The
shoots, judged by those that al
ready have been mined, will be found
close enough and large enough to al
ford very profitable mining alter the
proprty ha been more thoroughly de-
veloped."

GOLD MINERS MUST
BE HELPED

A great deal has been, written for
and against the McFadden bill which
proposes tax of $40 an ounce for all
gold used for other than monetary
purposes. From this sum the gov
eminent would pay gold miners $40
an ounce to help cover the greatly in
creased cost of production to encour-
age gold mining which is now declining
at rapid rates per cent in the
past four years.
Theoretical discussion from eco.
nomic standpoints relative to this mea-
sure does not produce gold and so iaT
the Nc Fadden bill seems to offer the
only immediate relief for the miner
says the Manufacturer.
The McFadden bill does not change
or interfere in any way with our stand
ards of, value, money or currency.
1t simply imposes tax on gold for
manufacturing purposes, this in turn
to be paid as premium to producers
Of new gold
No man can indefinitely operate
business at loss and if the gold
standard is to remain stationary for
monetary purposes some method must
be devised which will enable a gold
producer to operate at i profit under
present conditions
The gold mining industry will he
completely shut down unless construc-
tive aid is provided without delay. in
which event it will take years to de-
velop normal output of gold at a
very much greater expense. To allow
the gold mines OF the United States
to cave in and fill with water entails
a waste of developed gold resources,
which in most critical hour of Einan-
ciaI need will cause want. No argu-
ment can be made in favor of waste
The time to act is now before the in
dustry is Shut down.

Has Served Country Well.

Senior Portal, for the last 80 years
tho leading journalist of Peru and the
author Of IL ''best sellers in that coun-
try, has done for his native land what
Luis TabOada did for Spain, Mark
Twain for the United States, and, long
ago, MOliere for France; while wag-
ing war with his pen, he has created
true literature. Thirty years ago, when
he laid down the sword he had carried
with honor through the Peruvian strug-
gle with Chile, he took up arms against
every imaginable weakness, shOrtcon-
ing, sin, and vice OF his fellow coun-
tryInen; and in laughter-provoking sar-
casm and scathing irony he has de-
picted all the wickedness to which flesh
and particularly Peruvian flesh+-is
heir.

Velocity of liQht.

Physicists never tire Of efforts to
Increase the accuracy OF their knowl-
edge Of the fundamental facts OF
science. A REORGANIZATION OF the We
locity Of light by the Fizean toothed
wheel method was made at Nice. These
experiments were remarkable on ac-
count of the great distance over which
the beam of light employed was trans
mitte1. Previously such a beam had
been caused to travel about fifteen
miles, but on this occasion the reflect
ing mirror was so placed that the total
distance traversed by the beam, going
and returning, was fifty-seven miles.
The mean OF 1109 observations gave
for the velocity Of light 1S6.2251a
miles a second.

Get Lucky Tips in Dreams.

When an Italian has dream he
doesn't so tell his friends about 1t
for the sake Of making conversation,
hut hurries to get his dream book to
find out what the dream pOrtends. The
book has a number for everything man
wears, has, eats and sees. Things
shown in n dream are looked up, and
the corresponding numbers are played
by the Italian in the weeks national
lottery. And If he doesn't win, says
Kenneth l.. Roberts in the Saturday
Evening Post. he feels positive that
somebody with the Evil Eye has looked
at him and broken his chances. The
man with the Evil Eye is hated, feared
and Stunned.

SPARKS ONLY PLACE
TO GO DEMOCRATIC

While listening to the returns Tues
day evening, one bright young man re-
marked that the only place in the
United States that went democratic
was Sparks. Nevada, and from the
face of the returns it looks that way,
say the Tribune.
Sparks returned democratic ma
jorities for more candidates than any
other section.
Cox carried the three wards in the
city by IS votes.
Henderson did little better and
carried the town by IS. five less than
two years aao.
Jones carried Sparks by 1888 and
Evans defeated Arentz by ia.

Keeping Water Cool.

The only way to keep water cool
is to surround 1t with some mate
rial that is bad conductor of heat,
or in other words, does not pass on
the heat too rapidly. The poorest
conductor Of heat is a vacuum or space
from which the air has been excluded !;
hence. a thermos or vacuum flask
makes the best c0ntainer for cold wa
ter. Other bad conductors of heat are
wood. leather, felt. horn, bone; con-
tainers made Of or covered with these
materials will keep liquids cooler than
those made Of metal or glass.

GLORY DESTROYED BY TIME.
Of the Once Mighty Cities Of Babylon
and NIneveh Hardly Yes
tige Remains.

When the ancient Kingdom Of the
Assyrians fell through effeminacy and
negligence 300 years after the Trojan
war, many petty states arose out of
It's ruins, two Of which raised them
selves to high degree Of power. The
kings Of Media subdued the mountain
land Of Persia, and established rela-
items Of amity with hordes that
wandered on the eastern side of the
Caspian sea; they conquered also a
portion Of the empire which had CEN
tered in Nineveh. At the same time
the king Of Babel, or Babylon, -four
ished with still greater magnificence
and power.
In Babylon, ancient seat OF learning
and science, Nabopolassar, after a
long period of anarchy and division,
erected most powerful monarchy,
whose sceptre ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, his
son, extended from the Caucasus
mountains, where he defeated the
Iberians, to the sandy deserts Of Lydia.
He burnt Jerusalem; defeated Ammon,
MouD anu EuoH, CoHqueieu LEAc, tho
richest city Of the PhOenicians; laid
waste Egypt, and formed his empire
on new boundaries. He adorned Baby
Ion, the city Of his residence, with the
noblest works of architecture, but Of
this city the ruins are scarcely dis
cernible. 1t is still more difficult to
trace the vcstiges OF Nineveh, which
lie three days journey from it, and
whose ruins have sunk in the marshy
soil.
