A Test salt Well.

The ChebOygan Lumber company will
expend $4,000 in sinking test well,
provided the village will reimburse them
in part for the outlay If the test is sue
cessful.-Detroit Epening Journal.
Z. Nelson, President Of the company
says he never heard Of any such propo-
sition, and is of the opinion he would
know of it as soon as any other person.
However he is one Of the firm believers
in salt underlying this section and says
the company is ready and willing to
contribute toward another effort TO sink
a well to test the question, providing
the test is made upon the property OF
the company, and that the company will
agree to refund all money paid in, in
case salt should be found in paying
quantities. From the success attending
efforts made in other portions of north
ern Michigan we think there Is bat lit
tie doubJ but that Gheboygan is includ-
cd in the salt basin of Michigan, and we
would like very much to see another ef-
fort made to solve the question definite
ly. Mr.. Nelson says the company will
subscribe $1,000 with the guarantee to
refund all money expended by others,
in case the project should prove success
ful. With the knowledge obtained
through the two former efforts we are of
the opinion that third would prove sue
cessful and that we'll could be success
fully sunk to the required depth. Should
salt be found in paying quantities every
branch of business in Chsboygan would
be benefited and IN view Of this fact we
think it worth while to risk something
on the venture. We would like to sec
the matter pushed and another effort
made to put down well, and TO this
end are willing to contribute our mite
towards the enterprise.

The Inland Route.

Since the improvement of the inland
route was made, thus opening 1t up for
travel, and the placing Of line Of boats
on the route, it has steadily advanced in
the favor of the travelling public. and
has become to be considered one of the
great attractions for tourists Of NOrthsrn
Michigan. Considerable interest has
been manifested this spring rs TO wheth-
or or not there would be line Of boats
running on the route this summer. We
are glad TO state that the route will be
open as usual, the popular boats Mary
and Northern Belle forming the line
and running the same as last season, the
Mary leaving Mackinac Island every
morning running through TO Mullet
Lake House, at the head of Mullet Lake,
and there connecting with the Northern
Belle for Oden, GA the G. r. s. J. r. X.
The Belle will leave Cden every morn
ing and connect with the Mary for Cha
boYgan and Mackinac Isaad, Captain
Keeney. of the Northern Belle common
ced fitting out his steamer last Monday.
Both boats will be put in the best posi-
BILE condition for the seasons travel, and
we have no doubt Will prove as popular
with tourists as ever. A trip on this
route should not be missed by any per-
son visiting this section and those who
pass over it once are always anxious to
repeat the visit. The boats will com
msnc8 running between this and the
first of July. The exact date will be
announced hereafter.

A FLOODED MINE.

The Susquehanna Coal Con1pany's Mines i'm
the Vicinity of NanticoEe, Pa, Flooded
The Lives of q Number OF Employees I'm
Jeopardy, Being Hemmed In by the Wa.
ter--Worling For Their Rescue.
NANTICOKE, Pa, December 19.-Nantiv
coke was thrown into terrible consterna-
ton at eleven O'Clock yesterday morning
! by report that the mines of the Susque-
3 hanna Coal Company Were. being flooded
by water from the river, and that several
lives had been lost. The break was in
No. slope, and the volume of water pour.
ing in was so great that before the
miners and laborerS could get away from
the breasts in which they were
working, the water was more than q foot
deep in the gangway, and rising rapidly.
Boots were abandoned, driver boys left
their mules in the gangway, and all fed
for posts of safety. Before the Workmen
were all out, the water was breast high.
Several men are reported missing, and il
is feared they have been drowned. An
alarm was spread to the other workings,
Nos l and 2 shafts and No. slope
oil of which are connected with the
slope and are of lower and greater depth.
The alarm was promptly acted upon, and
the Workmen hoisted ten at time to the
surface. The workings now affected by
the inflow employ upwards OF 1900 men
and boys, all of whom will be thrown out
of employment.
Yesterday afternoon the excitement was
greatly increased over the report that
about forty men employed on rock work
and half-dozen slopemen are impTis-
oned In an old working, the mouth Of
which is closed by mine timbers and
broken cars that were forced against it
by the rushing waters. Twenty-Five
men and boys were rescued through the
air shaft by means of ropes, which were
lowered and fastened about their
bodies, and one at time they were
drawn to the surface. AS each one
was safely landed, terrific shouts of re-
joicing arose from the hundreds of
people present. 1t is believed that there
remains yet in the abandoned breast at
the slope the following named miners
and laborers:
Oliver, Win and Frank Kilver, broth
ers, miners.
Ihos. CnH0fd, door Dog
Will Delaney, driver. :
William Elkie, driver.
Lewis Tarbey, company mab
Isaac Saleer, laborer.
Harry Dove, miner.
John Shut, miner.
John Hawk, laborer. y
John Barber, iaborer.
August Mituel, miner, and several
others whose names can not be learned.
The first rescuing party have entered
the mine. The greatest danger feared Is
from foul gas, which is rapidly accumu-
lating, and which the fan can not drive
out, owing to the air-ways being closed
mp.
The disaster is now believed to have
been caused by the caying in of large
swamp covering several acres, upon
which culm was being dumped, the accu-
mulating weight of which is supposed to
have forced the bottom out.

An Attempt to Extort Money From the
Prince of Wales by Threatening Letters
Leads to the Arrest OF the BlackmaiIers"
LONDON, December 19,-The persons
who were arrested yesterday for attempt
ing to blacknail the Prince of Wales are
Jno. Magee and young woman who calls
herself his wife, and is known as Mrs.
Sarah Magee. They wrote letters adj
dressed to the Prince, but the letters were
intercepted by one of the Princes equer-
ries. The Prince did not receive
or read either of the letters.s They were
in q female hand, and demanded that the
Prince should send s750 to the writer,
who named time and place for receiving
the money. The equeTy turned the let
tiers over to the police, who wrote to the
address given by the writer accept
ing the appointment. Two detectives
went to the appointed place and
found the woman waiting for the
money. They told her that they had been
authorized TO satisfy her demands, and
handed her a heavy parcel filled with
farthings. Then they arrested her. In
er.fright she disclosed her identity and
that of her accompllce and putatiVe hus-
band. John Magee was speedily arrest
ed, and both the prisoners were arraigned
before Magistrate and remanded
for examination. There is great cu-
riositv as to the contents OF
the threatening letters. A correspondent
of the United Press agent called at
the Marlborough House and saw the
euuerry who intercepted the letters.
The correspondent asked to be allowed.
to COPY the letters, but the equerry said
it was now out of his power TO grant that
request. On being asked to describe the
contents of the letters, he ans Wered with
apparent frankness that the letters said
the writer was an emissary of a secret
society, and had been ordered to kill the
Prince of Wales; that she did not want
to obey the order, but was wholly within
the power of the society, and would be
compelled to commit the murder unless
she could get away from England, and
that she wanted ESQ to enable her to en-
igrate to America and quit all conspiracies.
forever. II there is nothing in the Tnys-
ferrous letters that is more compromising
than the equerry's answer indicates
they will probably be made public at the
Police Court to-day. Mrs. Magee was
afterward seen by the correspondent, but
she resolutelY refused to answer any
questions as to the contents of the letter
or co say whether the version given above
was or was not correct. She denied That
she wrote the letters, and declared thfab

by the detectives, who, she says, tortured
her. and subjected her to various In
dignities when they had her alone in

spectacle inspectors Of police, deny this

CHAPTER XIX.--CoNTINuED.
The road by which they had come
theanight before could be seen at one
point only, and that nearly mile dis
tant, where it wound around a spur of
tile mountain and dived down into d
ravine from which it emerged only TO
wind around other bluffs and spurs and
dive down into other hollows out of the.
range of vision Of any one standing in
the door or at the windows Of the
shanty.
BY ascending to the summit of. the
mountain, succession of lower ridges
and hills could be seen stretching away
towards Phippsburg and the river, with
sometimes glimpse of the valley be-
YONG, and of thin line Of smoke from
the steamers that went putting up and
down that highway of nature; but from
the lower ground on which the shanty
stood this view was shut out by inter-
ventng hills, and there came, a feeling
of loneliness, and sequestrationa iEde-
scribable, to the three women as they
looked out upon the scene that first
morning.
a thick crop OF seltas0Wn oats mixed
with weeds had sprung up on the
ground, untitled for two years. These
the rain had beaten fat to the earth in
places, while in others they still kept o
half erect position and were twisted TO-
gether in punches.
The few scattering grape vines, left
TO themselves, had broken from their
supports and run riot among the weeds
and grass. The peach and pear trees
showed the same lack of care, the very
luxuriousness of their growth and their
untrimmed appearance adding to the
general look Of desolation.
And this was the scene upon which
Martha Parsons looked, standing in the
door of the shanty with her two
daughters. Contrasting it with the home
they had just left, and recalling the fact
that the nearest neighbor was two miles
away, is it any wonder that her heart
sank and that for moment she almost
wished they had gone down into the
valley and rented, instead of buying
shis Isolated and lonely place upon the
mountain side?

CHAPTER XXI.

JOHN PARSONS GIVES ERAsTus A HINT.
When the spring came, the level
ground about the shanty on the mount
tain side had been broken and sowed in
grain, or planted with vegetables; the
sloping ground above set in grape vines,
and hundred added fruit trees were
putting forth their buds and giving
promise of the future.
John Parsons was not so young and
spry as formerly, but he was still in
good health, and work was his only
escape from thought Every day when
the rain was anything less than reg
ular downpour, he was to be seen st
work somewhere about the premises,
and Mrs. Parsons and Lucy lent ready
assistance.
AS the house was small, the labor Of
caring for it was small also, and on
pleasant days one or both of them were
to be found busily employed in the
garden or vineyard.
They made few acquaintance in
their new home. There was no neiGh-
Dor nearer than two miles away,
and not more than score of families
within circle easily reached for days
visit, and of these a number were for
eigners, who, being unable to speak she
language did not mingle with their
American neighbors.
Occasionally couple of women from
some of the little ranches upon the other
side of the mountain would come 10
spend the day at the shanty, but not
often; and, although pleased to have
them come, Mrs Parsons and Lucy did
not always return their visits. This was
not because they did not feel kindly
towards their neighbours but because
they felt little inclination to 60 from
home, and because they were busy,
whenever the weather would admit
of it, in helping to get the place in
shape to produce living for the family.
And so the spring and summer passed.
and fall came again.
They now had an abundance of Vage-
tables; the two cows viii CHI they had
brought from the old place, and which
found pasturage in the hollows Of the
hills, supplied them with an abundance
of milk and butter, and even with q
small surplus to sell; and this, with the
chickens and turkeys that thriVed so
finely and wandered at will up the
mountain side and down the gorge rs
the foot of the level field, kept them
supplied with groceries.
Ofclothing they had a good supply
when they came, and were not obliged
to purchase, either for garments or
bedding, for some time TO come, and so
did not suffer for anything except from
a sense of their losses and wrongs, and
for the want of companionship.
They heard from Jennie and her hus-
band every few weeks. Ensign had
been given the place promised him.
They were living in the outskirts of the
city, in q little cottage which they had
bought en- monthly payments, and were
comfortable and happy, as young mar
ried folkg who are blessed with good
health and plenty of faith in each other
and the future always are.

"WaIl," replied MIR. Parsons, you're
on the right track anyway, an you Jest
want to keep agoin' till you think it all
out. What you say about the exchang-
in of wealth is sensible. 1t holds TO
reason that there oughtn't to be nothin'
thrown in the way Of folks exchangin'
wealth. Them that works creates all
the wealth there is, and if they had all
the land to begin on, and weren't beat
NO way in the eschangin' of what they
produced, it's mighty clear that eff a
fellow didn't produce nothin' err help
some way in the exchangin' Of what
others produced, he wouldn't have any
thing to eat very long. There ought
to be some way discovered so that them
that produce the wealth could trade
among themselves without supportin' q
lot of fellers that don't do nothin' but
STAN around an look on.
''Ef you an Rastus, now, could be
together you'd tigger it cut between
you in short meter, I'll wager. l tell
you Rastus is smart, and he's got the
sand to back it, an eff anybody ever
goes to disturbin' him on his claim,
there'll be trouble in camp dead
sartin.'
At last the day came when Jennie
and her husband were to take their de-
parture.
The family arose early and prepared
breakfast as usual, but it was with
heavy hearts and eyes wet with tears.
And when it was eaten, Mr.. Parsons
went out and hitched the horses to the
spring wagon and drove around to the
door of the shantg, and helped Ensign
to lift in Jennie's trunk. The smaller
travelling bags followed. Then came
the last kiss and clasping in arms and
pledges of constant remembrance and
love, over which we willingly draw q
veil.
Who is there that has not witnessed
similar partings; partings Of those
whose happiness depended SO much ON
each others presence, yet who were
forced by the cruel necessity of hunting
for dollars, to tear themselves apart, and
each go separate ways with half of the
sunshine gone out of their lives?
VIII the time never come when men
win understand what the Teacher of
men meant when He said: 'Take no
thought for the morrow? And is it
not possible, by being just to each
other, to remove that constant, crush
ing weight of care which comes from
the eyec-present necessity of taking
thought as to what we shall eat, and
what we shall drink, and Wherewithal
we shall be clothed?
I believe it win come; I know it is
entirely possible.
When good-byes had been said, John
Parsons drove the young couple to the
landing, where, with tears coursing
down his cheeks, he, too. babe them
goodbye and God speed, and then, hsv-
ing fed his horses. again hitched I'D and
started sadly homeWard.
