As the result of the development of our public school system and _ the cheapening of books, there has grown up a large class of men and women who seek broader education, or desire to extend their knowledge along special} linés, Their duties in life, oy lack of means, exclude them from the universities. The Cosmopolitan Magazine has undertaken the task of bringing liberal education, in its-broadest sense; within the reach of those who have the aspiration, but are deprived of the opportunity. Doctor Andrews, late of Brown University, has undertaken the Presidency of the Cosmo, olitan’s educational movement. The~ work, thus begun, is not intended to take the place of regular university work, but to supply a gap in existiug education facil» ities. Those who are really in search of knowledge will find direction and aid. It can do nothing for those who have not the desire to study. An intending student sends to The Cosmopolitan, New York, his name, occupation, previous courses of study, s udies desired to be pursued, objets and purpose for which course is des gned, and the number of hoars, daily or weekly, study which can be given. No of any kitid wiil be made to students. : To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All Druggists refund the money if it Tammap, Col. September 8—T. -I.

A Rich Strike at Mountain City in the Sagebrush State. One of the biggest strikes ever recorded in the State of Nevada has been made in the Walker boys’ mine at Mountain City. This property was worked years ago and produced ore that was worth #4a ponnd Atadepth of 40 feet the vein was tust und it was thought it did not go down. © Last winter Frank Ish, Thomas Ryan and Hiram Hill, Colorado miners, went over there snd came to the conclusion that the mountain had faulted. They associated themselves wilh Perm Walker, Will Walker and'Rutley Woodward in the development of the mine, and the first steam hoisting works ever brought to the camp was erected. P After some prospecting it was discovered that the mountain had faulted 200 feet and the ledge was again found in place, eight feet wide, going down, between granite walls. ‘Thirty-five feet in from the 125-foot level the rich ore chute was again encountered. Last Saturday fifteen sacks of ore ‘were taken out richer than anything that had been found above. When the News representative visited the works the roof of the drift, for the eight feet driven into the chute, wus fairly green with chloride of silver. The pay chute on the surface to the depth it wus worked was 200 feet wide. From 10 to 25 per cent of the values of the mine have been gold, and gold shows all through the ledge matter in the present strike for the full width of tion of being a true fissure and the permanency. of the mine “seems assured. The discovery’ without doubt the State for many years. Mountain City is on the Gold Oreek mineral belt. + o@e + Discharged From Custody.
