4 WHITE MAN TO WORK

Ed Wagner and Mike Fisher arrived
in Tonopah recently from their camp
near the newly discovered borax
mines in southern Clark county with
the report that the thermometer
registered 1913 degrees in the shade.
The instrument used was special
government thermometer. and the
owners, fearing damage. took II to g
quiet place one night and packed II
away under canvas. In spite of the
heat, tractors and a large force OF
men are employed in grading for
thirteen miles of railroad to connect
with the Salt Lake route, and tun-
mel Is being driven into the hill for
colemanite to prepare for extraction
of the mineral bearing rock as soon
as the railroad Is completed The
property was purchased by "Borax"

End Consolidated Mining Company OF
Tonopah. The price is said to have
been 100000 of which $4,000 was
paid when possession was taken.-

lives, whereupon adjournment was
taken.

LADY WON'T WEAR TIGHT
SHOES AGAIN IN SOCIETY

A young woman was taken to one
of the down town restaurants for din
ner. She wished to make a good i'm
preston, so she stopped the shoe
shining establishment to have her
shoes polished, which shoes, by the
way, were little too small and
pinched considerably.
They pinched even worse after they
were seated at the table, and the
young woman decided to do a very
daring thing So. carefully. she man
aged to slip her hand down to her
foot, loosen the shoe and slip 1t off
her foot Just as that performance
was ended the waiter arrived with
the dinner and she Strengthened up
to get ready for it. She reached for
her napkin and horrors! The inside
of her hand was as black as could
be. The shoe polish had not yet
dried. Worse and worse, Her friend
noticed her hand.
There was nothing to do but ex-
plain the situation, which she did in
a very amusing way. But she vows
steadily that she will never again
wear tight shoes when going out to
dinner.-Indianapolis News.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
July IS, 1867

Brakeman S. f. Roberts was shot
through the left arm by a tramp at
Oreano yesterday morning. He was
brought here and attended by DR..
Hansen, who found that the bullet
passed through the arm above the
elbow, but did not touch the bones.
AS near as could be learned, Roberts
went to put the hobo, who was steal
ing a ride, off the train; the tramp
objected, scene ensued. resulting as
above stated The man has not been
caught as yet, 1t being impossible to
get good description of him. as It
was still dark when he fired at the
brakeman, but we have no doubt he
will be captured. 1t is claimed the
hobo fired three shots, the first TAX
ing effect.
A story is going the rounds of the
press Of young couple who attended
a lecture recently. When the colec-
