Mow, however, with a railroad at Tonopah, only fifty milen away\nto tho westward, new conditions have\ndeveloped for Uoville district, just as\nthey have for many other districts, both\nold and now, in Nevada and Utah.\nThe veins of the district are large and\nwell mineralized, and the probability is\nthat some of tho now and long continued\nproducers, with some of the old ones,\nwill share fn 11 measure this revival of\nprosperity. Tho camp is only another\nillustration of how time ami changing\nconditions make tho unsuccessful und\npoverty-stricken camp of today, the\nrich and prosperous one tomorrow.\nThis Woman Wants Skin.\nA woman whose skin is a patchwork'\nof pieces of epidermis taking from persons representing every nation on earth\nis Miss limnia Gallahcr, of Hvanston,\nInd. Twenty-three skin grafting op-s\norations bave beeij undergone by Miss\nGallaher since she was burned from the\nneck to waist in a gasoline tank eight\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2years ago. Her left arm is still without skin and has grown to her body.\n\"Skin is higher price than oilcloth,\"\ncommented Miss Gallaher sagely recently, when she was asked to tell about\nher efforts to buy skin. '-The average\ncost of human skin is about $1,000 a\nsquare foot. When 1 once advertised\none hundred men volunteered to sell\ntheirs. Many of them faltered when\nIhcy came to tbe lest. Negro skin, the\ndoctors say, will turn white when grafted on a white person.. When I was in\nSt. Elizabeth's hospital for two years\nthirty-three nurses volunteered to give\nme skin, but 1 refused to lei them do\n.so. All the nations of the earth .sire\nrepresented in,the skin that covers my\nback.
