during the past week the north ex-
tension of the famous ore zone has
been penetrated. This ore zone, which
is more than 200 feet wide, promises
to produce a high grade shipping ore
clear to the Hamburg end line, dis
tance of 500 feet. and as evidence of
this expectation ore has been exposed
by surface cuts at intervals of every
100 feet. Eight miners are now be-
ing worked, and this force will be in
creased as the necessary space Is
gained in the drift through the ore
bearing ground. Thirty sacks OF ship
ping ore have been recovered in the
last few days. but no attempt will be
made to extract ore in quantity for at
least 80 days. Only the ore encount-
cred in the workings will be sacked.
Two samples taken Thursday. one OF
which assayed 1.6 ounces in gold, 81
ounces in silver. and 27.5 per cent
lead; the other. 9.3 ounces In gold
1o.5 ounces silver. and 2s.5 per cent
lead.

FIVE MILES CONCRETE WALKS

Sparks is to have five miles of new
concrete sidewalk. five feet wide, the
Sparks city council having accepted
the bid of Christensen & Jensen of
Reno, at 10 cents per square foot. for
their construction.
Work will start as soon as mater

Gravel will probably be obtained from
Sisson's pit near Coney Island.
The council received but eight pro-
tests from property owners on the
proposed sidewalks. and three Of
these were considered justified, as
they came from property on a short
piece of street not open for traffic.

KELATrviTY RELATIVELY uNlmpoRTANT.

Speaking Of the departure Of Professor Elnstein,
the Philadelphia Inquirer puts it thus:
81 hope you will not make me talk about relativ-
ity,' said Mr.. Einstein to the reporters who gathered
around him or .ae eve of his departure. 4 have been
talked to death on that subject His anxiety to evade
further dissnesion is easily understood. The aniabLe
desire of Americans to fatter distinguished visitors
by affecting a more profound interest in the cause of
their distinction than is possible to the casual mind
must now and then provoke an unfavorable reaction.
Only a hardened egotist can stand perpetual conten-
plation of his own achievementsa
"No doubt the fact that much of the talk concern
ing RELATIVELY TO which he has.been compelled to listen
with an appearance Of interest was unintelligent and
futile added to the WEAKNESS it bred in him. Mr.. Elm
stein has admitted frankly that only the few can COM
prehend his theory-imperfectly, perhaps. at that.
How dreary the conversation into which he has been
forced muEt have beenl Leaving US, he turned to a
subject within the scope of the ordinary intelligence.
4 think American women are lovely he said. That
he was a deep thinker he showed by a further remark,
Why, even the working girls dress like countesses!
he exclaimed.
NJ Einstein reveals an apt appreciation of one Of
the fundamental distinctions of American social life.
preserve it admirably in appearance. One whom the
eminent savant thought was the daughter Of a mil
lionaire turned out to be the typist in his hotel. There
are various differences, no doubt, between a daughter
of n millionaire and a typist- But they do not always
show in their dress. Every self-respecting American
girl is the glass of fashion and the mould of form. 1t
is not surprising that Mr.. Einstein preferred contem-
plating her to talking about RELATIVELY"

THE COURSE OF WISDOM

Considerable matter has appeared in the state press
with reference to Frank Mondells candidacy for the
lection in the world. In his qualifications and gen
eral fitness we could not pick a flaw. As to the pro-
priety, we remain uneonvinced Of its wisdom, for the
reasons advanced in n former article upon the sub
ject
And in all that has appeared we fail to discover the
Tribune's argument successfully controverted, rather
do we find it agreed to, so the whole matter then ap-
pears to be, that Frank Monden wants to become a
candidate for the senate and they, the newspapers urg-
ing such a course, are willing that he should forego
the certainty Of congressional reelection and eleva-
ton to the speakershir for a senatorship of doubtful
value for some years, even with Mr.. Mondel the oc-
cupant.
or what the several newspapers in the case may want,
but rather what the Republican voters Of Wyoming
may want, that should rule in the matter. And it is
urged that Mr.. Mondell have no opposition, which cir
cumstAnee would afford no opportunity for express
sion of the party's real sentiment.
That Mr.. Mondell can be nominated and elected
senator there is little doubt, but that he should want
it, with his prospects in the house, is tae one thing
we fail to reconcile. =
The support of the Sheridan Post, while sincere, is
also geographic; but where is the Senegambian in the
wood pile in the Cheyenne Trbune's ardor? Can it
be that the congressional vacancy will afford an OPP
portunity to include Mr.. Deming's name in the list Of
probable candidates.?
There is no reason, known to the Tribune, why Re-
publican party matters should not be frankly dis
cussed in the open. There is no mystery about our
aims and objects, which may be plainly stated to be
to lick the stuffing out of Democrats and to elect the
highest class Republicans we have to public office. We
able object We can think of nothing more sublime.
After it has all been chewed over, we remain of
the same opinion that Frank Mondell should remain
in the house and become its speaker, rather than go
to the senate, and Republican party and people of
Wyoming are losing no sleep with reference to the
Tribune's position in the final analysis.

THE FACTOR OF ENVIRONMENT.

The American Psychiatric ASSOCIATION has been
holding a session at Boston. 1t is quite a formidable
name the association wears, but no more so than the
business in which the members are engaged. They
study and treat mental diseases of human beings.
Their science is q most interesting one and whatever
they accomplish in the way of Strengthening out the
kinks in the mentality of afflicted mortals is a bless
ing. They have been debating the question, "s or is
not environment an important, sometimes even a deter
mining factor in producing mental disorders which
later lead to juvenile crime and delinquency" The
debate lasted a day and the preponderance of opinion
was in the affirmative.
To the lay mind it Is reasonable. Environment has
been an important feature in the development of civ
i~lization and the highest accomplishment of all times.
1t is one of the theories upon which the state has pro-
ceeded in the care and treatment of its mental de-
fectives almost from the time it assumed charge of
them as a public duty.
1t is the view, also long established. among social
workers and by which they have performed much serv-
ice for humanity.
AS stated, the scientists did not arrive at complete
concord, but being doctors that was not to be ex-
pected. The world, however, will continue to regard
environment as at least an important factor and pro
coed with that point accepted.

WHAT IS INcoME7

Income is a perplexing thing in its different forms,
and has repeatedly been before the supreme court for
definition in connection with. the federal tax, says
The Nations Business. At the end of March the court
said that its definition has now progressed to the point
where it reads, Income may be defined as a gain de-
rived from capital, from labor, or from both COM
bined, provided it is understood to include profit
gained through sale or conversion of capital assets"
The emphasis upon the proviso marks the question
which was before the court at the time. The point at
issue was the ~taxability of gains from sales of invest
ments, the ~taxabiity turning upon their nature as in
come or increments on capital. The court held that
they were income, and brushed aside the refinements
of photographers and economists" referring to the
heated controversy among the learned doctors as to
whether an increment to capital is capital or a gain
in the nature of incomes.
At the same time, the court set right a situation
that had caused some hardship. Even where an own
er of securities sold at less than the cost to him, he
was being assessed a tax upon a gain when the sell
ing price was greater than the market value in 1918.
The court dryly remarked that there was no gain"
IN such a case.
