Journal, Speaking about the good
old times when Washington was in
augurated, hams we're worth 10 cents
a pound; present price II cents. In
1883 corn was worth 81 cents; it ia
now worth about Al cents. But II
cents worth of ham will now buy /
IA to L IL pounds Of sugar; in 1889
it would have bought 2-5 to 81 Of a
pound. Eleven cents would have
bought 10 to 14 Of y pound Of tea
and will now buy from IT to l-6 Of
apound. That useful article, soap,
which can now be bought at q lbs.
for II cents would have brought twice
that amount in17S9. We have nd.
vanced long way from the standard
Of living in vogue 100 years ago and
yet we hear people sigh fer "the good
old days" They don't know what
they are signing for. There never
was a better time to live than now;
never a better place than right here
in Minnesota.
A telegram from Washington says:

dispatches Of the letter received by
Prof. Willetts, assistant secretary Of
agriculture, respecting the existence
Off machine, that will take the flax

the mail Of the department has been
burdened with letters on the subject,
showing a national interest. One Of
the letters received was from a man
afacturer in the Northwest, who has
Invested nearly 800, 600 in the busi-
ness Of fax manufacturing, which
has produced deep impression at
the department. The writer says he
has made two trips to Ireland aud
Belgium, aSd has seen the operations
Of the machine offered, and he con.
firms all that it claims. He further
agrees with the original writer that
the country is on the verge Of 4 grea,

MINING NOTES.

Some good prospects are being opened
up in the Old Woman Mountain, near
Fenner.
N. G. Gordon, who has a lease on the
Silver King mine at Stockton Hill, had
four tons Of ore run through the sampling
Works this week.
NJ. ID. Howell had one car load of lead
ore from the G. o. ID. put through the
Sampling Works this week and has two
more on the road.
J. ii. West and several other citizens OF
Needles have several mining Claims in
Needles Mountains, ON the Arizona side,
from which some good ore is being taken
There are several other claims in this
neighborhood which are being worked
with good results.
A. NJ. McDuffie & Co. had twenty-one
tons of ore from the south end Of the
Connor mine, Chloride, run through the
sampling Works this week. While this
ore was not quite as high grade as the
boys would like to have it, the returns
left a credit on the balance side.
The Copper World mine, twelve miles
south of Yucca, is being worked by +. l.
Murray, OF Prescott, on a bond, who il
prospecting the mine to find the extent o
the ore body, which varies from one II
six feet, and will average about twenty
per cent. copper. A good deal OF wori
has been done in connecting the tunnels
and extending the workings. A car loat
has been packed TO the spring at the road
and hauled to the railroad at Yucca TO
shipment to the smelter, where it will b
tested. The result Of the work on th'
mine has been more than satisfactory
There is plenty Of water near the mine u
run furnace, and plenty Of timber 10
fuel within two miles.

The building OF the new A. & p bridge
across the Colorado at Point OF Rocks is
being somewhat delayed for the reason
that in sounding for bedrock, which on

nearly eighty feet no bedrock has been
found. The compsny are now consider
ing the proposition Of spanning the river

hundred and twenty feet. If this is done
it win be the longest span canti-leyer
bridge ever constructed.

Accidentally Shot.

Last Saturday evening A. A. Kilburn,
Wm. Larkin, Chas. Lynch and 7. +.
Lawler left here in twoseated convey
ance TO attend the dance at Mineral Park.
When about a mile beyond the Layne
Springs flag the parties were startle
by the report OF pistol and Larkin cried
out that he was shot. Larkin and Kill
burn occupied the seat together and the
latter's pistol was in some manner acci-
dentally discharged but just how is not
known. The pistol was Colts self-acting
Al calibre and was found in the bottom of
the wagon. Larkin was at once driven to
Kingman and taken to the rooms at the
Sampling Works and DIR. Livingstone was
called who made search for the ball.
Supposing that the ball had lodged against
the back bone an incision was made but
the ball was not found and further ex-
animation was postponed until the arrival
Of DIR. Cornish, from Flagstaff, who ariy-
ed Tuesday and upon consultation it was
decided not to search further for the bali
but it was recommended that the wound
ed man be sent to San Francisco. Ac-
cordingly on Tuesday, accompanied by A.
A. Kilburn, he was sent to that city. A
telegram Tuesday announced his safe
arrival at the German hospital The
wound is pronounced by the attendant
physicians here as serious one which
may result fatally. The accident is great
ly regretted by the friends of both Messrs
Kilburn and Larkin, but so long as pistols
are carried accidents Of this kind will
happen.

- Tuesday there was about as heavy a
straight wind blowing as this part of Gre
alton has experienced for many day.
The ashes from the burned prairie filled
the air, making things look as though the
crack of doom might be expected at any
moment. A loud and united creaklng of
cellar r-door hinges was heard in the land,
as people made ready to escape the afore-
said crack. But the wind gradually
weakened. A few haystacks were de-
moralized !; Warren Worst bad his gran
ary unroofed; 4 portion OF the roof of
J: H. Worst's granary vamosed; Ira
Young's stable top took French leave,

We, too, have had our share of trouble
from the fire fiend. Wednesday morning
the flames came sweeping down toward
Clare East's and over the hills from
the north but fortunately the wind was
not very strong. and 1 believe every man
turned out TO help fight it back. They
fought it valantly until o'clock at
night before they succeeded in getting it
under subjectlon. Mr.. Beach deserves
many thanks for the very efficient service
he did with his team and plow. l want
to make mention of one lady, also, Mrs.
Weller did as good work as any of the
men, and could not be persuaded to leave
the prairie until the fire was extinguished,
but stuck to it like the very heroine that

MIR: Hiram Fuller seems to be rather un-
lucky. One day last week he traded with
Mr. wade for young COW. and to fetch
her home tied her and young steer to-
gether. so he could drive her. But it was
very warm day, and she got overheated
1t is quite loss to him. :. Messrs. FUR

their little granddaughter, Miss lisa Fra.

horse along, and Miss lisa concluded that
she would rather ride on horseback than
in the wagon and this she did, riding
the whole twenty miles in that way. The
little lady IS eight years of age. Next
