A correspondent at Montelle City, on the western slope of Mt. Grant, writes as follows: Hearing that friends in Hawthorne and vicinity are interested in the welfare of this camp, I send a few lines to explain what we are doing. We have a new mill (two stamps, with which expect to do considerable work. Last week we received a 30-horse power engine and are only waiting to have it set up to start running. We hope to run all Winter, as we have ctnsiderable ore on hand ready to mill.

At present we are preparing to put up new houses for the men, a boarding house and private residence, as well as a stable, which will be 80 long, as we expect to keep eight horses. We will soon have a lively camp, as ws will have 12 men at work when the mill is running, and if the mine continues good as at pi esent we will put up a 10-stamp mill and another concentrator, as the one sow in use would be hardly large enough. I must tell you about the road I have built, as it has made quite a talk, especially since so large an engine had to be hauled over it. It is a good thing lam of a persevering nature, otherwise I would have been discouraged, as everybody said the road was in no condition to haul such a heavy tonn. But, alas for the disappointment of the knowing ones, it was brought up from the foot of the grade to the mine with eight horses in three hours and three quarters.

That was not bad for an impassable road. Messrs. Welsh and Purcell of Yerington were the drivers, and I cannot give them too much praise for the way they did their work. E. E.

Dumontillk. Stricken with Paralysis. On Wednesday last Wm. P. Hal' ligan was seized with a paralytic stroke and i.e has been in a critical condition ever since.

A Beverage That Is Popular in South America. Preillar Method of Making mad Drinking the Commonly lined Soon Like It. An effort was successfully made in Russia a few years ago to introduce as a fashionable drink the yerba mate, a South American product of the nature of tea. Russians, being inveterate tea drinkers, were not averse to trying a new decoction, and mate became a favorite beverage, although it was eventually served in the same Way that tea was, the samovar being found equally useful for The fancy for this drink is said to be spreading, owing to its decidedly soothing properties. While not so much of a narcotic as coffee, it is equally stimulating and possesses a nutritive quality that is not found iu either tea or coffee.

To the Jesuits who established in Paraguay the first South American missions is owing the' preservation and spread of the custom of taking mate. Before the arrival of the Jesuits the Indians had been mate drinkers, but had not cultivated the herb. The Spaniards at first believed the drinking of it to be a pernicious habit, and forbade it, but when analysis showed its medicinal properties its use was sanctioned. Since then it is seldom that a foreigner lives six months in the country without becoming a mate lover. Mate is properly the name of the bowl or cup in which the is taken, yerba being the name of the herb.

The ordinary bowls used are dried gourds, polished, with an opening made in one end. One of them is bound around the mouth with silver; the tube used is of silver with a perforated bulb at one end. This end is inserted in the cup after the yerba has been put in. Three teaspoonfuls would be the allowance for these cups, which are the size of a good big orange, and hold perhaps half a pint of liquid. A little cold water the yerba, and then boiling water is added, just as tea is made.

The first few draws at the tube cannot be swallowed, as the yerba comes up; after that only the liquid will rise. In serving mate the servant or whoever prepares it must take the first few draws. The cup is then presented to the guest, and in a party of people each person is expected to partake from the same cup and tube. This practice is extremely unpleasant to foreigners, and sometimes debars them from learning to take mate, for he who is a mate drinker and refuses the the others have used it, will give mortal offense. This drink and a dry biscuit constitute the entire breakfast of the Spanishspeaking world of Chili, Paraguay, Uruguay, the Argentine Republic and a great part- of Brazil.

Taken by the or laborers, at early dawn when they start out, it is the only food they get or care for until the midday meal. Some idea of its nutritive and sustaining qualities can be N. Y. Tribune. State op Ohio, City of Toledo, I Lucas County, Frank J.
