Luck In Death Valley.

A p~rospector was exploring the
Death Valley country. He camped in
the mountains at a spring and stayed
at the same place for some weeks. His
pack mules strayed among the noun
tains, and he went in search of them.
They were found near n spring where
there was good grass. The miner
went to the spring to get water. and
near by saw part of an ore sack stick,
ing out of the ground. He removed
some Of tho dirt and found that the
sack was full of ore, and a little fur.
ther search brought to light four
other sacks of ore.
All the sacks were very rotten, and
had evidently been in the ground q
long time. The miner caught his
mules, went back to camp for sacks,
and then returned and got the ore. He
carried it out TO where it could be
milled, and from the five sacks, each
containing about seventy pounds OF
ore, he realized 81, 800. Not long after
finding the ore the miner met an In.
dian, who is well known in that re.
gion and who knew that the man had
found the ore. The miner asked the
Indian what had become of the men
who had hidden the ore, and the In.
dian said: "Mebbe so Indian heap xii

whites Increase Faster Than the Blacks.
| stand prepared TO show the follow,
ing facts:
The negro population of the south
has never increased in equal ratio with
the whites from the foundation of the
government TO the census of 1880.
The white population increased 9.51
per cent. during the decade %1S60-1S70.
For the same period the negroes in.
creased 500 per cent.
For the decade ~1S70-1SS0 the white
population increased $40 per cent.
the negro population 35.6 &C per cent.
For the twenty years, 1S60-1SS0, the
white population increased 50.S1 pei
cent. the negro population 46. OF.
This period covers the term of years
in which the south lost nearly /, 600.
900 of herwhite population by the cas-,
ualties of war.
In the above statement l do not in.
clude the states of Maryland, Della
ware, Kentucky and Missouri. These
states are excluded because less thar
8 per cent. of their population belongs
TO the negro race.
Broadly stated, the fact is shown by
the census of the United States tina.
Notwithstanding the destruction of hu
nan life by the war, the white popu
lation of twelve southern states in
creased in a greater ratio than the ne
gro race by nearly 4 per cent.-Atlan

WICHITA" said II Wichita man in
conversation last evening, was made
what it is by faith and advertising. A
picnic excursion goes out Of Wichita and
the railroad cars arc covered with banners
booming the town. A Wichita mar goes
TO New York and after being shown the
sights says to his chaperonc: There is no
doubt that this is a pretty good lively
town, but if you want to see a genuine
hummer from Hummervillc drop in on us
at Wichita 1t is the same with a town
as it is with an individual. Ii an individ-
ual has no confidence in himself he will
never succeed. If the people OF a town
have no confidence in it the town had
better fold up its tents like the Arabs and
silently steal away First have faith and
then let everybody see by word and ex.
ample that you have faith and you need
never fear about the future of a town"
There are some things in the Wichita
mans talk that the people Of Cheyenne
might do well to think over.

Railroad Building.

The projecting of new lines. says a rail-
way magazine, continues to 90 on at a
rapid rate. but the actual means OF trans
portation will not be up to the standard
of 1889, owing to the fact that the work
Of construction has been of a hasty char
actor. Track laying began very late this
year, and as yet only l,522 miles have
been laid, against 1000 for the previous
year. but beyond a doubt the number Of
miles laid in 1889 will greatly exceed the
latter figure. The tendency this year has
been to build short branches, or feeders,
instead Of connecting lin es, and thus far
the average length of the roads built has
bene only l2t miles. Mississippi leads
thus far, but from contemplated extension
surveys Nebraska will probably show up
as the star state ere the end of the year,
With Wyoming a Nemesis on its trail.
