No wonder John A, Logan is tenacious
about his New Mexico grab of Zuni lands.
Here is what he says about wonderful
salt spring in the vicinity Of his Zuni
ranch:
Here Is a salt basin about one nile in
diameter, and the waters ebb and flow as
regularly as do the tides Of the ocean.
When the tide goes out the edge Of the ba-
sin shows salt instead of sand. In the
midst of the lake are three cOnicsl-shaped
mountains 100 feet IN height by 100 feet IN
diameter, which are apparently composed
entirely of cinder, such a. is left IN an or
binary crate after the coal is burnt. One
of these forms an island in the middle OF
the basin, but the Others are so situated as
10 be accessible when the tide Is out. For
tunately this was the case when We were
there, and, actuated by desire to see all
the wonders, we climbed to the top of one
Of these mountains. Il was found to be
hollow, just ss If an immense funnel had
been thrust into the top, and at the bottom,
about on level with the water in the main
bas,n outside, was spring which We dis
covered was possessed OF several peculiar
features. The water was found 70 be very

strongly impregnated with salt, and Its
density so great that a person IN bathing
would find 1t impossible to sink or even
stand up IN II, or do other than float upon
its surface. The depth of the spring is un
known, and this, too, like the water in the
basin, ebbs and flows with the tide. |
think that by the use Of siphon hundreds
of barrels of salt could be obtained from
this spring daily. These springs consist
OF a part OF about 200 acres which have
been reserved from entry or sale by the
Government as saline lands.

I'm Spite of All the Care He
Took.

We saw boy mailing up box the
other day, containing some articles
which he intended sending by express.
From the nature of the contents We
knew it was essential that the box
should not'be inverted on the passage.
So we ventured the suggestion to
place the much abused "This side
up" etc, conspiciously on the cover.
a few days after We saw our boy
again.
Heard from your goods yet? Did
they get there safely?'
Every one broke, replied he sui

Did you put on "This side up as

How II Lady Should Act When
She is Serenadcd.
Job Work-CASII

will you please tell me what is
proper for a lady to do when she is
serenaded ?" In romance it is usually
written: "The curtains were seen to
Auttcr and a white hand emerged and
tossed down a rose In real life the
custom is to light the gas in order to
give the sercnaders the satisfaction Of
knowing that the fair lady is awake.
OF course the curtains. which have
been left open to let in the summer
air, should first be closed, but nine
times out of ten the girl gets flustra-
ted and forgets the curtains until the
room is illuminated. Then she gives
little yell and crawls under the bed.

the Mexican had not seen the date in
the passports. But Brett guessed the
game, and saw the mistake the fellow
had fallen into. He nodded to For
ney to take it up.
Accordingly, Forney said, 'Cincu-
enta pesos (ifty dollars), unhcsitat-
ingly, and not having the money he
took off his watch and laid it on the
table.
The Mexican glanced at the watch,
and opening drawer took out fifty
silver dollars and laid them beside it..
Very good, said he. You were
born on September 80
Without word Forney opened his
passport and showed the actual date
-Juty l3.
The Mexican looked astonished;
but seeing that he had lost, indispu-
tably, he pushed the silver across very
courteously. Being an acute fellow,
too, he at once jumped to two conclu
sions--that custom was not the same
in the United States, and that these
two Americans probably did not
know the Mexican usage. But to be
sure he presently asked, innocently
enough : Do you know my given
name? :?
no. said Forney, which was quite
true; and he gave no indication Of un-
derstanding the drift of the question.
But Brett had heard one of the
women in the rancho address the
Mexican as Renito when they were
there in the morning. Again he di-
vined the game; and by Il quick ef-
fort of mtMory he placed the day,
from connecting it with the birthday
Of Juarez, the 0Mexican statesman.
But Forney remained quite in the
dark.
Perceiving Forneys unmistakable
blank and innocent face the Mexican
said II lost. Bueno. But | bet you
four (cuatro) to one you cannot guess
my birthday
Again Brett gave the nod, and
Eorney, after a moment Of discreet
doubt, said
Done, and put down the fifty dol
lars which he had just won.
'Bueno. exclaimed their host, who
was beginring to get excited. Not
having two hundred in the table
drawer he went to Il chest at the
other side of the room for the balance.
Meantime Brett scribbled a date on
the table under his hand with his
pencil, on which Forney s eye pre-
sumably fell; for as soon as the cash
vas piled he said, quietly:
'Viente y uno de Mario (March
2l.)
The Mexican Jumped from his
chair and made a half movement to
seize the silver. No! no" he shout
ed.
But several of the poems standing
around, all vastly interested in the
play, had unwttingly cried out
'Bueno. 81! SIP bright. Yes !!
yesD
Seeing it was useless to deny it, the
bailled gamester sat down. Excuse,
me, he said; you are right.
Forney lost no time in putting the
cash in his pocket; and the two soon
took lcave-not just liking the uneasy
manner in which the eye Of their host
burned and roved about By this
time it was late in the evening.
old fellow, this is the worst job |
ever helped put up !! exclaimed Brett,
as soon us they were outside in the
dark, But he drove lis to it, Now
lets get away from here before we
are robbed again, or possibly worse.
Instead of going back to their camp
they make 4 rapid trip to the village

hours. And they have not yet

Kenna's Election-The Congregational
z Esueeession-TArin Maiters-PersOnal
and General.

Speciq! Dispatch TO tie Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, January 27.-There is
general feeling of qualification here over
Kenns's election as Senator, and the warm
est advocates Of Senator Davis retention.
before the decision OF the caucus, say they
are better satisfied with the result than
they would have been with a new man.
The belief is generally expressed here
that Gov. Mathews will be sent to the
lower House in Kenna's place. His manly
conduct under defeat no less than his bear
ing when successful, seems to have COM
meuded him to the favorable consideration
of Democratic. representatives, and he will
have the support OF good many in the
Congressional, who opposed him in the
Senatorial race.
Senator Davis expresses himself as being
entirely satisfied with the Senatorial result
and says he feels sense Of relief m antici-
pating his release from public business and
the opportunity OF giving undivided at
ton to his own affairs.
Both houses are making good progress
with their tariff bills, and It seems likely
that through conference anIamended tariff
bill will be passed at this session. West
Virginia interests are in good shape, coal
being likely to be put back at the old figure,
and salt occupying about the same place as
formerly& The glass men are likely to get
about all they want and the same may
be said Of the iron interests.
Judge Hoge says he has 10 present in
tention OF changing his residence. He
thinks the Harper's Ferry project in which
Gen. Belknap was interested, has fallen
through, but says if the Government will
sell at a fair valuation syndicate can be
formed to utilize the property.
congressman Kenna and Wilson are alb
sent this week on leave. The remainder of
the West Virginia delegation are here.
