NURSING THE PRINCE OF WALES
The following is an incident Of the Prince
of Wales illness The Prince having been
unable to sleep during nearly two days and
nights, bop pillow was placed under his
head, and after some hours he sank into a
6tful sleep. The hop pillow has been con-
tinued, and there is reason to believe its
soporfic effect has been felt in the repose
which at last brought with it the hope of
recovery. During the time when death

DORMANT CAPITAL IN CALIFORNIA
The following sensible and timely paragraph
occurs in the San Francisco correspondence
of the White Pine News:


1t is certainly to be hoped that the
promises of the coming season NAV induce
the capitalists of San Francisco to break
out in some original and legitimate enter
prise. The only thought now seems to be
to follow In the track of some one who has
been successful, and either to follow in his
tracks, to do what he has done, to displace,
black mail or oppose him. The greatest
fortunes have been made in building the
Pacific Railroad ; so to get 'sfn" in there
is an object. Then other fortunes have
been made iu gas and water companies and
speculation in stocks and from this cir
cult it is hard to attract capital Here are
millions of dollars working in circuit in
San Francisco, really doing but little good
while the State, richest in resources of any
section of the world, suffers for the means
for development, while our Tevises, Hagin-
ses, Reeses. Luninges and others who count
by millions concentrate their moneys in the
small circle of real estate loaus or invest
ments in this city. The great interests of
the interior are neglected, and the slow
advancement of this State and Nevada is
the consequence 1t is this lack of enter
prise, or this hoggishness Of intelligent
capital, that will some day incite interna-
tionalism or intelligent labor to say that it
will take some control of the wealth of the
world. There is an abundance of capital
here, and it is a shame that so much call
upon England, the East or anywhere else,
is necessary in the development of our re-
sources.

CLING TO THOSE WHO CLING TO YOU
There are many friends of summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloom,
But when winter chills the blossoms,
They depart with the perfume.
On the broad highway of action
Friends of worth are far and few;
So when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings to you.
Do not harshly judge your neighbor,
Do not deem his life untrue,
If he makes no great pretentions.


Deeds are great though words are few.
Those who stand amid the tempest,
Firm as when the skies are blue,
Will be friends while life endureth,
Cling to those who cling to you.
When you see a worthy brother


Buffeting the stormy MAN,,
Lend helping hand fraternal,


Till he reach the shore again.
Don't desert the old and tried friend
When misfortune comes in view,
For he then needs friendships comforts,
Cling to those who cling to you.
