Considerable interest is being TAX

recently at Deer Lodge, small set
tlement about 23 miles east OF
Phoebe. Among the first arrivals OF
the new discovery was Maurice ].
Fink, old time Nevada mining man.
Accompanying Mr.. Fink was John
Carter Anderson, prominent mining
engineer sof Tucson. Arizona. Many
other Phoebe mining men also visit

created much interest in local min

that Silverhorn's poet lariat used
some Of that hair dye just before he

And how the lady did hate the
word "No" when used in answer to
her sales appeal! Possibly she
thought it was a German word that
was put into the English language
by a Hanoverian kind who took q
seat on the throne of England when
nobody was looking. Or possibly,
when little girl, she was one day
playing with the dog and asked papa
for quarter to go to the movies,
and as he peevishly answered mo"
the dog bit her-but she thought it
was the word instead Of the dog that
took the bite. Whatever may be the
explanation of her antipathy to the
word, she made it plain she thought
one might be in better business than
using such language.
Unlike the stage magician she did
not pull any live rabbits from the
reticule, but the Knockout blow was
given with a patent hair cutter. This
lady was quite sure that the miners
had brought no homemade hair cut
with them in their wardrobe trunks
and she was equally sure they woult
need them when dolling up for th'

the patent hair cutter.

down his silver heirlooms for bullion,

through China and India, is handled
by Japan. The price Of Silver once
