l. is hard to ouldo Texas and New
 Mexico on centipede stories, but for
 once Utah has taken the lead. There
 wers several MexIcans in camp in
 he southern part of the territory the
 other day, and were laying about the
 fire when one of them, Telestoro
 Crucase, saw . large cenIipede, fully
 nine inches long travelling slowly over his leg. Knowing that the least motion would make il skin its deadly claws into his sink, without moving his leg he got his revolver and waited until the beast had almost reached his knee, when, slowly putting the mouth of the pistol to its head, he pulled and the centipede was gone. But ceRIipede's claws are quicker than gunpowdcr, and Crucase began to have cramps h few minutes. The track of the reptile along his leg turned brownish yellow, and the place where it was killed swelled He rapidly grew worse, and in a little over four hours died in great agony. The most singular part of the story is that the bullet from Crusase's pistol cut small nick in the foreleg of mule that was tethered near by, and at daylight next morning Inc mule was also dead, with its leg so swollen that the skin had burst in several places.

Arizona and sonora Hires

Tbere is a good reason for the be-
 lief that the mines of Arizona and
 Sonora will, in q few years, says the
 San Francisco News Letter, develop
 into full compensation for the decay of the ComsIock lode in Nevada, Until the Southern Pacific railroad penetrated the region beyond the Colorado river, mining operations in Arizona were conducted with eX- treme difficulty and at enormous ex- pense The use of heavy machinery was almost impossible. Now that the railroad can be employed for the transportation of machinery, 10 with in a few miles of the best mines, 9 sudden impulse is given to mining industry in that quarter, and il Is not rash to predict that. within five years from this date, there will be more mills and stamps in Arizona, and along the Sonora line and just over the border than were at any time employed In the State of Ne vada We say this on good author ity. An expcft, sent down by q BOs- ton company some months ago to examine the Tombstone district. has returned and informs the News Let ter that there are in that district four or five of the best silver mines in the world. Altogether they are operating over 100 stamps and the orc crushed averages $100 to the ton, using the entire rock of the lodges. These are over six feet wide wide with pros pect of widening as they sink. Tom bstoHe is within thirty miles of Benson, a railway Etown. 4 good stage road connects the two places.

TIP Tor, December 2.
 EDITOR HERALD-The following is a nut for scientists to crack. On the night of Novem Der 4, John Mor. ton, a miner working on the 900 foot level of the Tip-Top, was suddenly startled by sharp report occurring few feet n his rear and upon in SesIigation discovered his wood en tamping stick shattered into a thousand pieces. There being no caps nor powder near, the only reas. onable explanation and one gener- ally concurred in by miHers cogni- zanl of the facts is that the explosion was caused by a rock falling on the tamping bar which was an old one and bad been thoroughly saturated with glyccrine. May not this explain the cause of many premature ex- plosions occurring while holes are being taniped and w0Ild it not he wise to substitute something else for wood for that purpose.

 RICH GOLD DIsCovEKIEs. Some new gold discoveries are causing quite an excitement here; one in particular, the find of two French miners is really rich and looking better and assaying higher as they sin;l it.
 If these new claims continue to improve as they go down on them, the Vulture Camp is destined to be one of the richest and liveliest on the Pacific slope and that at DO distant day.
 Business at present. is little dull but there arc hopes and justly so that q brisk turn in affairs will be the result when the mine and mill are in full blast.

The Royal Spanish crown, which in silver gilt hangs in front of the cradle, is the work of Fremont, the great Parisian gold smith. The cost of the cradle, with out the hangings of fine lace and the garniIure of marabout feathers which surround it is estimated at $l 400.
