River Press: Fred Zingler, who
has been prospecting the Boss mine
in Barker for the past year, is re-
ported to have made q rich strike of
five feet of good ore, galena and car
donates, similar to tho Silver Belle
ore. AS q prominent smelter man
remarked the other day, they have
now lots of ore but unfortunately no
reduction works. It is q pity this
good ore was not struck in an earlier
stage Of the game.

just in from Barker, coming from
White Sulphur Springs over to Nei-
hart by the new mountain road. He
reports travel as practically suspend

there are now four feet and q half of
snow near the summit, and there has
not been enough ore hauled over the

In the gulch at Neihart there is only
about two feet of snow.

THE BLAINES.
Interesting Particulars About
the Family.

Mrs. Blaine seems to have no
friends and cares for none. says a
letter writer in the Detroit Times. It
would be exceedingly d~isagreeable to
nearly every lady in Washington to
see Mrs. Blaine in the White House,
and there are many who would never
go there. Mrs. Blaine is tall and
stout. Her features are heavy and
masculine. Her eyes are shaped like
her husbands, very full and opening
wide. But they lack all the life and
good nature which sparkle in MI.
Blaipe's. Her hair is nearly all white.
She wears 1t brushed away from her
face over q roll, the same as Mrs.
Logan, but in Mrs. Blaine's case 1t
only makes her large features more
prominent. She always dresses
nicely and in excellent TASTE The
Blaines have five children, three sons
and two daughters. The elder
daughter was married last winter to
Colonel Coppinger. of the army. The
younger daughter will be in society
here this winter. They, like their
mother, do not have the faculty of
making themselves popular. The
eldest son, Walker Blaine, lives in
this city and is counsel for the Gov
eminent before the French Claims
Commission. The second son, EN-
mons, is I:racticing law in Minnesota.
The youngest boy, Jimmie, is very
wild and has caused his parents much
trouble. He is still q school boy

Mr.. Harry w. Child, Assistant
General Manager of the Boston and
Montana Gold Mining Company. in
an interview with an Independent
reporter, reports $4,000 tons of $40
ore In sight in the Gloster mine.
This, he says, can be worked at a cost
of $500 per ton and will yield a net
profit to the stockholders of So, 762,-

A BOLD ROBBERY.
Joseph Rich's Pawnbroker Shop
Burglarized.
Two Thousand Dollars Worth of
Watches Stolen.

Last evening between six and seven
o'clock "Uncle" Rich, the popular
and accommodating pawnbroker, do
ing business on Main street next door
below Mr.. Newkirk's sample rooms.
locked his door and went to supper.
LAMBS were left burning as usual,
and the treasure of the establishment
was left in its accustomed place. No
extraordinary precautions were taken
to prevent the entrance of thieves, for
"Uncle" Rich has been somewhat
careless in this particular. Upon his
return from his evening meal he
found the door opened without the
use of his key, and going
in he discov cred that some
party or parties had paid his room a
visit during his absence. In the
show case he had left a tray contain
ing fourteen gold watches, valued at
$1,000. One of the watches alone
would bring $3.50 in: any market. A
closer examination showed that the
burglars had also taken $50 in silver,
which were stacked in one corner of
the case, and two gold chains. A
large number of silver watches, gold
rings, watch chains, pistols, etc., and
a cigar box containing $500 in green
backs lying near the property taken
was untouched. The thief or thieves
evidently knew the place, and where
to get just what they came after.
The two gold chains taken were
among a number Of cheap ones and
were selected from them. Up to a
late hour last night no clue had been
obtained Of the burglars. 1t was a
cool. bold robbery, which only an
expert in the business would dare
undertake.

The MINER was in error in stating

ing his own doorsteps. The gentle
man had started down town to at
tend to some official business, and
when but a few rods from his house
he stepped upon a loose piece of ice,
which rolling under his foot, precipi-
tated him to the sidewalk with the
result before stated. It was nearly
ten minutes before he could make
himself heard for assistance. When
removed to his residence aud a sur
geon procured it was founl he had
sustained a compound fracture of the
leg just below the knee, the bone pro-
truding through the skin. Mr.. War
rem has the sincere wishes of a host
of friends for his speedy recovery.

The Health of

The Graphic says that a close guess
as to the health of animals may often
be made by feeling their'pulse. In q
horse q good and strong but quiet
pulse beats forty times a minute, in
IN OK fifty to fifty five, In sheep and
pigs not less than seventy or more
than eighty for ordinary health. It
may be felt wherever q large artery
crosses q lone. In the horse it is felt
on the cord which crosses over the
bone of the lower jaw in front of tho
curved position, or in the b0ny ridge
over the eye, and in cattle over the
middle of the first rib. In sheep it is
perhaps easier to place the hand on
the left side, where the beating Of the
heart may be felt. A rapid, hard,
and full pulse in stock points to in
flamation and high fever; a rapid,
small, and weak pulse also to fever,
but to fever accompanied by q poor
and weak state of the subject. A very
slow pulse in stock will often be
found 10 indicate brain disease, while
a Jumping and irregular pulse shows
something wrong with the heart.

Splicing the Jugular Veln with q
Pipestem.

I remember a wonderful case as
came under my personal observation
when I was travelling in E.. Tennes-
see. ! struck one of those little noun
tain towns one time when they wuZ
holding comfy court. Every man
had a bottle of m%oonshine and they
wuz all feelin' mighty happy. Final
ly they got a little too hilarious and a
fight sprang up between a great big
duffer and a little bit of q wlry teller.
The big duffer could a eat the little
Teller up, clothes and all, but the first
thing he done was to pull one of those
old pot-metal knives and jab the blade
into the leetle feller's neck. 1t went
in right alongside the jugular and
then it bent kinder around and under
it. When the big Teller went to pull
it out he ripped the leetle feller's Jug
ular right square in two, and you
oughter seed the blood fly. 1t SPUR
ted about twenty five feet. AS the
leetle Teller dropped everybody cri' d;
Oh, he's a goner, his jugular veins
CUT and they expected to see him
croak inside of three seconds, but
there was one of them mountain
doctors there and to look at him
you'd think he didn't know q jugnlar
from a trombone. Stand back
said he. 'glye me a chance at him.
and he elbowed his way through the
crowd to where the leetle Teller lay
breathin' his lest. He pulled out of
his pocket somethin' as looked like q
crooked darnin' needle, and then he
fshed around in the wound until he
caught hold OF both ends of the
jugular vein and pulled 'em out.
Then he tied the ends tight with a
piece of thread to keep the blood from
s1uirtin' out until an old fellow in
the crowd whitfield down an old
pipestem to make it fit in the jugular.
When it was shaved down small
enough the old doctor inserted the
pipestem and tied the ends of the vein
tight around it. In less than two
minutes that little fellow was on bis
feet and looking around for the fellow
that cut him."
"You mean to say that he recov>
ered"
"Course he did, and you'll find the
case recorded in the medical works.
Only case of the kind ever heard of
in America"
"And the pipestem never bothered
him?"
mo; only it made him sick at the
stomach at first. The stem was q
good deal stronger than he had been
used to handlln' and it made him q
leetle bit dizzy for q few days.

ed and ended at the expiration of the
three minutes by Cusick being knock
ed against a chair in one of the cor
ners of the ring. While on his knees
and in the act of rising, he asserts
Mccoy struck him. Cusick claimed
q foul and believing it was
admitted he went to his corner and
pulled off his gloves. But Cusick
was mistaken, and when time was
called for the third round he was not
prepared to go to the scratch, and the
fight was awarded to Mccoy. The
boy showed that with proper train
ing he could have made his defeat by
the New York champion a very
doubtful matter. His game is un-
questioned. The sparring contests
between the members of the Comb
nation did not differ from those
previously exhibited at the same
place.
We understand that Al. Smith,
business manager of the Combine

King, as stakeholder, $500, which
amount was covered by Barney Nc

to state that Al. Smith is willing to
increase the stakes to So, 500 a side or

AJACK-KNIFE GENIUS.
How an Artist In whiting Makes
the World Wiser and Better.

William Yohe claims 10 be the
champion jack knife artist of the day,
although he was born in st. Louis,
and net in Yankeedom. A Post
Dispatch reporter heard Of this pro-
fessional lacerator of pine sticks and
sought him out. It was not until the
inside of AZ unused Methodist church
at Kirkwood. this county, was
| reached that MI. Yohe and his knife
were cornered. The knife was slash
ing cigar boxes to pieces at railway
speed when the reporter opened up
with: "Are you the man who is
making an automatic worlds fair
and ST.. Louis exposition wi}h q
knife?"
mo, that isn't what I call it. l Am
making what I call the Missouri Pa
cifc and Strasburg Cathedral auto
matte wonder, with the golden ark of
the covenant. 1t will contain over
$780, 900 pieces, and will have 100
moving figures"
All around the gaunt and disman-
tied church were piles Of cigar boxes
and laths and myriads of nicely
carved little pieces of wood, appar-
emily portions of models of buildings.
The whittier was q small man with
keen eyes and a ready tongue, and
about 36 years of age. In the course
of an hours conversation he said in
substance: II didn't know that 1
was anything extra of a whittier till
about 1869, when in q small way I
made some models. / was in Texas
working at mill. wrighting. The first
large piece l ever made was q model
of a Bermuda castle. Afterwards I
made Balmoral castle, Bingen castle,
Miramer castle, the steamer Bristol,
Solomon's temple, the Texas state
capitol at Austin. S0lomon's temple
contained 1928 pieces and had 1859
windows. 1t is now on exhibition in |
Texas. The Austin capitol building |
has 62,874 pieces and SCI moving peo- |
pie. Every room and department in
the building was given with all the
officers and legislators. Everybody |
was represented, down to the man
saving wood in the basement for the
furnaces. All the figures were
moved by a wooden engine, which
was run by sand falling on an over
shot wheel. I made this piece at odd
moments in 1881.
IT have just hired this church and
begun work. I shall sleep and eat in
this church until about May l, next.
The material? Yes it does take con-
siderable. I have already used up
967 cigar boxes and 500 laths, and 500
feet Of lumber. The cigar boxes I get
