Perhaps the attorney general will
soon find more important business
In the county than the appointment
of an assistant to add to the burden
of the taxpayers.
The Rome incident was several
sizes larger than the Cairo incident.
Perhaps Berlin begins to feel a little
anxious.
The people of the district have put
much money into stocks at low ebb
during the last few months. This
money will come back several times
OTer before the year is out. And it
will bring an abundance of prosper
ity
The oil fever is spreading OTer the
country with wonderful rapidity. Be
hind it is said to be Standard, pav
ing: the way for the new flotation
which it is going to make among the
peope upon reorganization of the
present unwieldly concern.
The local situation contains a
great deal that is of large promise,
with nothing warranting pessimism.
Present mining, milling and smelting
operations are the greatest ever had
in the state. As fas: as money and
brains can drive the work, the way
is being opened for deep mining and
a vastly increased payroll at mines
and reduction works. There is every
thing here to encourage and nothing
to discourage.
Dr. Eugene Doyen explained at the
International Congress of Physio
thrapy in Paris last week his treat
ment of cancer by means of electri
cally produced heat. The secret of
the discovery is that the cancerous
ceils are destroyed by a tempralure
of from 50 to 55 degrees centigrade,
which is entirely harmless to healthy
cells. The method shows wonder
ful results, he says, in eliminating
the need of the kn'.fe in all Itsio-is
which are accessiVe to an elec tic at
current, artificially applied. The
healing of the tissues follows im
mediately upon *he coagvlation of
the cancerous cells.
Press reports indicate the New
York upheaval to have been more of
a rebellion against rotten, grafting
local organisation thin against "reg
ular ' Republicanism. Nevertheless
there is a note of warning contained.
The people want more tariff reform,
and they are right. Tart and the
great majority of the Republicans
take the same view, but hold that
reforms cannot be made to full ex
tent at a single sitting. Medicines
are good, but overdose* kill. A
steady course of treatment is what
Taft aims at. from the hands of a
tariff commission, and Republicans
agree with him.
During the session of the Ameri
can Oriental Society in Baltimore
last week Prof. G. A. Burton of
Bryn Mawr questioned the correct
ness of the much discussed discovery
of Prof. Hilprecht of the University
of Pennsylvania of a tablet from the
famous "temple library" of Nippur
containing a portion of the Ba
bylon deluge story. Hilprecht called
It the oldest known reference to the
flood in writing, the tablet being at
least 1000 years older than the
Bible narrative. He gave out a
translation of it, which carton says
is largely imaginary. The tablet is
of unbaked clay, measuring 2 \ by
2H inches and nearly an inch thick.
But a part has been broken away. It
bears no date, but internal evidence
places it beyond 2005 B. C. The In
scription is understood to be a divine •
commanded to the North of Babylon
to butld a ship and save life from an
all-destroying flood. This Nippur
version differs from the two found,
at Nineveh and agrees with the
Bible story, according to Hilprecht.
Dr. William H. Ward, while deprec
ating the animus against Hilprecht.
thought that the tablet dated from a
later period and that it was largely ^
imagination to call it an account of,
the flood.
APHORISMS OF A GAMBLER.
Not very long ago there died in
New York Patrick Francis Sheedy.
one of the world's most famous
gamblers. It was more than his
phenomenal daring and luck, how
ever, that made Sheedy’s reputation.
He was famous as a philosopher, as
a defender of the outcast, as a friend
of the frendless. Some ten years be
fore his death, he quit gambling al
together—minus the fortunes that
had passed from time to time
through his hands—and earned his
living as an art-dealer. Here are
only a few of the aphorisms that
fell from his lips in later days—the
ripe fruit of a long experience.
"I'm not afraid to die. I know
I'm going to get a square deal. The
Maker plays no favorites.
■*We are not ail pacers or trotters.
We have our own gait, and we go
that gait; and that gait is Fate.
"Even fat is Fate. I've never
eaten more than a bird, and yet I'm
dying of fat.
"What is the great speculator in
wheat but a gambler like myself?
Only the law protects him and
ostracizes me.
"I've got my life insured for the
benefit of my wffe: the company J'm
insured in bets I won't die this year.
That's the toughest game I ever
struck, for I have to die to beat it.1
“So long as 1 can make a living
and give a ton of coal now and then
of. a hard winter to my mother-in
law, and eon my wife into believing
that she might have gone farther and
fared worse. I'm satisfied to rest easy
and not go around hunting for a
controversy. Any fool can get into
an argument, but it's a wise man that
steer dear of it.
“Put this down—the gambler has
a harder time of it than any other
business man. Once in a while he
gets what slow-going folks might
call a great deal of money, but It
never lasts long. More often he is
obliged to borrow his living expenses
from his friends, and Pat Sheedy is
no exception.
“Englishmen win pay their gamb-|
ling debts before they will their
tailor. The Germans—particularly
German army officers—are about as
good. I wish I could say as much
for my own countrymen.
“I've been through the college of
experience, and learned never to turn
a deaf ear to a man whose luck is
down. That's what most people
never learn.”
MINES AND MINING!
1
FOUR FEET OF RICH ORE IN
NEVADA UNITED TUNNEL-FAMOUSi
ORE BODYTHOUGHT AGAIN FOUND
____._
Reports of an extremely encourag
ing nature have been coming In dur
ing the past few days from the Ne
vada United at Ward. Strikes of an
important nature have been made
very recently which lead strongly to
the belief that the company has
| struck the famous old ore body, from
which approximately $15,000,000
: worth of ore was extracted during
the prime days of me mine and from
which dividends amounting to nine
million dollars were paid.
The late strike is of such stcent
[occurrence that its importance can
not be definitely figured, but average
assays are said to have shown as
tounding values in lead and silver,
the latter making as high as 11.000
ounces. The company is working
eighteen men at the present time and
is pushing its development vigorous
ly. The latest strike has created
widespread enthusiasm and. if it
makes good, will bring return of old
time prosperity to Ward district. In
cidentally it will make certain the
building of the branch railroad to
.connection with the Nevada Northern
. at East Ely at early date.
The present strike is in the tunnel
which has lately been driving. There
i is reported to be better than four
feet of the rich ore to the present
, time, with no end in sight. The be
lief is that they have caught the
1 famous old ore body body, lost some
years ago.
NATION II. I XPKCTS PROSPI IUTV
Iutigation is ( lisei amt the Out
look Greatly Brightened.
It is promised that development
work in the camp of National. Net.,
will be undertaken with greatly in
creased energy now that the suit of
the National Mining company against
the Stall Brother has been dismissed,
the principals having effected a com
promise out of court.
The purpose of the suit was to
cancel a lease held by Stall Brothers i
, on some National claims, and the
litigation has tied up for over a year
the production from the richest por-1
tion of the National holdings. By
the terms of settlement, however.
Stall Brother are given an additional
year on their lease, and tlupugh *p
erations will be carried on unoer
somewhat closer restriction than
heretofore, it is promised that in the
near future the production of the
property will be up to former ti|
ures.

such action. At any rate, much in-;
terest is taken in the district, and'
from all indications the coming
summer will be prosperous for the i
operators there.
The mountain range in which the ;
camp of National is situated is a i
treasure zone for a distance of at \
least fifty miles in length and many
miles in width. From the lower end
of Paradise Valley on the south this
great mineral belt extends to the
Oregon line on the north. Over this
great area it has been demonstrated
that mineral wealth abounds from
one end of the belt to the other. The
past great output of the Paradise
mines is one of the best evidences of
the existence of large bodies of pay
ing ore in this mineral belt.
The New Gold field district, which
occupies the central portion of the
belt, long ago proved the valuable
deposits of gold, silver, lead and cotv
per ore of that section. On the north
ern end of the range near the Oregon
line and about six miles north of the
town of National and in the same
porphyry belt in which occur the
ledges at the bonanza camp, is re
ported a strike of ore that assays
(10 to the pound, with values most
ly in gold.
The latest news from the district
is of an important strike at what is
known as Castle Dome, near the An
dorno stantion, about forty miles
from IVinnemucra and in the same
range of mountains as National The
ore from Castle Dome shows values
in big ledges as high as 187.20 to the
ton in gold, together with good sil
ver values. A number of prospectors
have located e'aims and ore that car
ries paying values is being disclosed
in a number of places in this new
territory.
HAMILTON TRAIL
GALL TOR HELP
_ i
Sheriff A1 Butler and Attorney
Walker, who went to Hamilton sev
eral days ago, have sounded a dis- I
tress call. Butler’s auto is bucking,
and has been for a couple days, with !
result that they want to see a rescue ‘
party.
They telegraphed from Hamilton
Monday and Lee Arris started to
them Tuesday on a motorcycle. Near
Ilipah the motor quit and Arris re
turned to Ely. Yesterday he started
in an automobile, making good time
to Ilipah, but between that place and
Hamilton hts car quit, according to
report received last night. Mean
while Butier and Walker are Just
waiting. Unless they arrive today a
span of mules will be sent out to
haul all hands home.
WIHtMA (.CASK I.iM>KS GOOD.
The drift started last week on the
Wilbuja vein on the fifth level has
opened up an ore body the like of
which has never before been en
countered on the bonanza property. |
The shoot is two feet In width and j
the values are so high as to seetn
almost incredible. The drift U now
in a considerable distance and with
no diminution in size or character i
of the ore body. The east drift on i
the 300 level of the Kindergarten
property of the Coalition, which Is be
ing extended to prospect the com
pany's ground, has cut a blind lead
carrying good values. The Z. C. M
I. lease is running two upraises from
[the bottom level of the Kindergarten
workings and one from the »»>-foot
! level and all good ore. Already a con
: siderabte amount of ore has been ex
| rracted and the initinl shipment from
the lease to the Coalition mill will be
| made about the 30th.—Seven

MINK Bl'KEAU BILL.
Sidney Norman, the editor of the
Los Angeles Mining Review, who has
I been In Washington for the past few
weeks in company with E. A. Mont- I
gomery. president of the Sierra j
Madre club of Los Angeles in con
i nection with the pushing of the mine
[ bureau bill through congress, was
a visitor in New York this week. Mr.
Norman states that the matter has
met with the almost unanimous ap
proval of the house of representa
tives. and it is only a question of get
ting the senate at the present time to
vote in its favor to have the bill be
come a law
The bill, as Is well known, will
interest at least 1.5men who
are identified with both the precious
and non-precious metal mining in
dustry of the United S'ates. Among
other things, it calls for the organiza
tion of a mining bureau to operate
under the department of the interior
It is intended to take up the work of
helping the mining industry of the
United State* from that point where
the geological survey's efforts cease
In addition the bill has adopted very
stringent regulations in regard to the
protection of life and limb which are
to be given the miner—New York «
