Looks Like Business.

George Teitsworth, one of the origi- nal owners of the Bonanza mines. has driven bis stake at the foot of Mount Ben Nevis, and intends to stick by the old camp. He has entered into co-part- nership with Mir. RuiTner and bought out the Pioneer store, with two lots, of Messrs. Gibson ,S Frazer. The new firm of Teitsworth S Ruffner will build sta- bles and corrals and open out first class establishment on the site of the old Pioneer store. Mir. Teitsworth, who IS now in town, purchased 10000 feet of lumber to-day with which to put up buildings and corrals, and the lumber IS being loaded on freight wagons and will be forwarded at once. When such sub- stantial improvements are being made in Logan 1t looks very much as though people were going there to stay, and the fact that Mir. IeitswOrth knows so much of the mInes, and shows his faith in them by his works, should encourage others who are there who have Got had the privilege of inspecting the great bODauZgS

Two "Clown. Stories.
From the Boston Courisr.l

In the Drury Lane Annual, last year, MT. Payne told a most characteristic story concerning one of the little fellows whom he trained for some business Ju one If his psntomimes. No prettier tale appeared last Christmas than tha, which related how young oa Packer fell down a trap q week before boxing night and broke a limb. and how his little sister dressed m his clothes and begged to play bis part. Harry found she knew all about 1t, for the pair Jsd rehearssd together at home. Let us finish the story in his own words. "ohe was a great success the first night. Although the audience called for her after her song she did not come back, but sat at the wings crying. She won a complete triumph for her brother, whose name was printed in the programme in all the papers, although he did not appear once in the run of the pantornime. On the strength of those notices 1 dare say he got his foot on the ladder to fame, up which he climbed pretty high by this time, for he Is now a popular actor and favorite with the public. As for his sister. her first and last az pearauce upon the stag2, l believe, IS chrJGiclsd in this story-nOt a very wonderful story. per haps, but as true as l am a sinner" He has a whole fund of recOllectlons, and as if to illustrate the bent of his mind. they are mostly pathetic. Once at the Surrey theater the harlequin slipped as he leaped through a clock-face. and his leg stuck in the scene. Harry. who was clown, thinking tO cover the bad retreat by laugh, took hold of the leg and cried to the audience as he shook 1t, "Oh, there's a clumsy manr The harle- quin was pulled through, and the scene proceeded; but ss he did not put in an appearance again, the clown inquired the cause of the prompter. "He has broken his le-," was the reply. It was the leg he had shaken. When he heard 1t Harry Payne tainted on the stage.

Experiments that Confirm the Theory of
 Volcanic Dust.
Philadelphia Eocordl

lAu4l-4t- li-4A ttnIU.
 Joseph Wharton oi this city believes that he has confirmed by ocular demonstration and experiment the truth of his theory that the recent splendid twilight eIuws resulted from volcanic dust, thrown out by the Javan erup- tiOns On Sunday morning last, while the snow was yet falling. Alr. Wharton states bc took gallon Of # from the clean surface, quarter of a mile or more frtm the nearest leeward building, and lO0 yards to wIndward of his resi- denCe. That snow. melted unier cover in the porcelain vessel in which tt was gathered, showed at first no sediment. but after d time, and aided by a gently rotary movements, which brought all jo the deepest point, slight deposit ap- pesred; bv pouring off most of the water and evaporating the remaider a little dry dust was obtained, which, even to the naked eye, showed. in the sunlight, tiny vitre0us reflections.

Coal Near at Home.

EDITOR CITIzEN:--A five foot vein of bitUminous coal has been discovered about hall way between here and Casa Grande and some F miles from the Southern Pacific track. A sample of the coal coked in retort gave but ten per cent. of ash against IS per cent. in a sample of Trinidad treated at the same time and under the same conditions. As the sample came from the surface 1t is but safe to predict that on attaining a depth of few feet, a quality of coking coal will be produced equal to the best English in the market. Parties are now on the ground making further explora- tons before locating.
