The Star Valley Mining and Milling Co reports a cross cut tunnel 300 feet from the portal with 160 feet more to drive to reach a vein. The last 200 feet show heavy mineralization with an assay of 40 ounces of silver and copper per ton. A gas engine will be installed for ventilation and a new shift will be added once operational.
J A Jones of Vovatetlo returns to Star Valley with proposals for an electric railway project. The offer asks farmers to pay three dollars per acre, with a plan to issue stock—five shares per assessed amount. Jones and Lewis will conduct a personal canvass of both Star Valleys, aiming for a decisive action. If successful the route could extend from Palis to possibly Idaho and reach south toward Smet.
The Wyoming Children Society formed five years ago to place homeless and neglected children in good homes by adoption or other means. It has grown to 36 branches nationwide and began its own Wyoming work in 1911 with state approval, aiming to advance charitable methods and help public wards.
A compact notice chronicles Maryland artists and inventors from Chestertown to Philadelphia. It highlights Charles Peale and his son Rembrandt Peale, noting portraits of Washington and Virginia officers, Peale’s role in the Revolution era, and his pioneering enamel teeth manufacture alongside his art and metalwork.
A Dayton News piece urges starting the day without complaint and building momentum gradually like a careful engineer. It compares gentle startup to a train’s rollout, stressing calm to avoid jolts, ensure steady progress, and keep both passengers and machinery safe.
A German investigator recently calculated that 100 dozen eggs would hold all chemical elements needed to make a man of 150 pounds.

A fragment describes Sardinian shepherds in fur skins defending their lands against banditry. It notes visitors face no danger despite local tensions over taxes and costs, and that natives rarely harass tourists, contrasting with southern Italian areas.
A discussion of British regimental nicknames drawn from earlier wars. The Sixteenth Infantry are called the pened ful for lacking a battle name on their flag, the Norfolk regiment are "Saints" for selling banners in Spain, the Second Royal West Surrey are "Sleepers" from the Almeida surprise, Gloucestershire are "the Sears," the Seventeenth Lancers are "the Dandies," and the Seventy-sixth were nicknamed "the Pigs" after a poorly drawn elephant motif.
A Saturday Evening Post note explains that most payments are debits on bank books, chiefly by checks. Clearings of bank checks last year totaled about 180 billion dollars, with Bradstreet’s finding city clearings imply total bank credits near five hundred billion. Adding smaller towns yields an enormous annual money movement.
