loUNG GIRLs-NoUNG MEN.-The
poorest girls in the world are those who
have never been taught to work. There
are thousands of them. Rich parents
have petted them; they have been
taught to despise labor and depend upon
others for living, and are perfectly
helpless. The most forlorn woman be-
longs to this class. 1t belongs TO par
ents to protect their daughters from this
deplorable condition. They do them
great wrong If they neglect it. Every
daughter should be taught TO earn her
own living. The rich as well as the
poor require this training. The wheel
of fortune rolls swiftly around-the rich
are likely TO become poor, and the poor
rich, and Indispensable. TO the poor

The lone

We had a telegram from Austin q
few days ago giving an account OF the
mangling of a man in the mill at lone.
The Reveitle Of the 18th furnishes the
following additional particulars: DR..
Wixom returned from lone last Sat
urday evening, and reports that Chas.
KantZ, the man who met with an acct
dent in the Ural mill, died on Friday
afternoon. The Doctor reached the
mans side shortly after III A.. NJ, OF
the day he left here friday, making
the trip from this city inside Of five
hours. He found Kantz in a terrible
condition, with one of his arms tori
away and his entire body frightfully
mangled. The Doctor did what was
in his power for the relief of the un-
fortunate man, but he was beyond the
reach of surgical aid. and died about
four hours after DIR. Wixom's arrival.
He was conscious nearly to the last, and
gave an account of the accident, which
was to the effect that while engaged
in oiling M of the journals of a line
shaft, his blouse became entangled IN
the shaft and he was caught up and
whirled around, his body being
thrashed against the roof at every rev.
olution. He was a German by birth
aged about IS years, and had no rela.
tives in the United States.

GhO1lar.P OtOsi.

The Chollar-Potosi mine produced
last year s7lO,94l in bullion and $780,
202 was received from assessments.
The total receipts, including 500, 900
borrowed money, were s 1912, 6S4. The
average yield of the ore was SIS SO per
ton. The cost of mining and milling
was Sl4 SO. leaving a profit of 50 20 on
the ore. The expenses of prospecting
were, however, 50 l6 per ton on this
ore. while the disbursements on ae-
count of the new combination shaft
were 81 " per ton, which, added to the
expenses, show a loss of 81 Is per ton.
Twenty per cent. of the assay value of
the ore was lost in the tailings. The
mine has produced in Twelve years
$50, 600 tons of ore, producing Sl3,S39,-
900 in bullion, about 80 per cent. of
which was gold and 81 silver. For the
past eleven years the mine has paid A
dividends, a~ggregating S~3,079,925, and
leviei IL assessments, a~ggregating
81, 35S, SOP, leaving a balance in favor
of stockholders of 81, 72l 1913. OF the
gross product 25 per cent. have been
paid in dividends.

The Pierce Brothers,

A telegram appeared in yesterdays
SENTINEL from Helena, in Montana,
stating that Joseph's bands were max
ing back for Snake river, and that in
crossing the head of Horse prairie they
had killed the Pierce brothers. The
Pierce brothers-John and Thomas
were brothers Of Mrs. Henry Smith, of
this town. They were bachelors, and
had lived in that section for eleven
years, being heavy cattle ~raisers. They
had resided on this coast since 1850.
Mrs. Smith is deeply grieved by the
intelligence, which we hope further
news will prove to have been unfound-
ed. We publish this morning a Mon
tana dispatch, received via Washing
ton and New York, which seems to
indicate that the hostiles have taken
the back track for Lapwai, but by a
route, we infer, further to the north
ward than Horse prairie. If this sur
mise be correct, it is quite likely that
the rumored killing of the Pierce
brothers a without foundation in
fact.

ONE OF BRIGHAM YOUNG,s


kS.
Colonel Fulton, of the Eureka Ii
brary Association, contributes the fol
lowing sketch of one OF Brigham
Young's wives. The Colonel was per.
sonally acquainted with 10. Smith, OR,
son Hyde, and other celebrated Nor.
mon officials, at the time they were
carrying on the proselyting work in
Pennsylvania, before the settlement oil
Nauvoo:
MRS. TwIss.
She is an Irish lady, and her father
was a brewer in Dublin. Failing in
business, his daughters were COM
PEELED to seek employment, in order to
earn a livelihood. Jane, the oldest,
established a millinery shop, and was
doing well until a miserable shoemak-
er who, in her fathers DAYS dare not
address her, induced her, for the sake
of a home and privacy, to marry him.
They emigrated and settled i'm Penn
sylvania, at a time when Mormonism
was fresh and the loose ideas of people
not educated in religious dogmas
gave 10. Smith and his followers a fair
field. 1 boarded with Mrs. Twiss,
whose real name is Twist. There was
a camp meeting in the neighborhood-
a Methodist camp-meetipg - and
James Twist and myself went
to ii, as a matter of curiosity
and relief in a country place.
We got home about IL o'clock, and
found Jane pale and almost distracted.
She had tainted, and remained in a
swoon, she could not say how long.
Her history Of the affair was this:
Joe Smith, Orson Pratt and Farley
Pratt had been drumming up the
neighborhood, and unsettled minds
were excited. After we had gone
away about an hour, her mind revert.
ed to the new doctrines, and while
thinking and seeing, all at once she
became conscious of some supernat-
ural light in another corner of the
room, and presently from the glow
arose the head and bust OF a man with
linen buster and rather short
cropped hair. She described every
thing in the most concise terms,
suppo,ing, of course, that she had
slept and dreamed, we retired as usual.
There was a Mormon meeting next
night in the school house near at hand,
and l went with the family, and sat on
James right. The moment the preacher
arose from behind his desk-he was a
small man-Jane keeled over on me.
We took her out, and took her home,
and as soon as Consciousness returned
she exclaimed, James, that was the
man who appeared to me-" They
were both baptized a week later by the
little man., Orson Hyde. L IA not
quite convinced, and am moi yet. Mrs.
Twiss is now IN Of the mistresses of
