The Phoenix Mines.

uperintendent Dillingham; Is in from the Phoenix mine, confident that the property which once sold for seven millions is cheap at the present quo tation of about $250,000. The ten stamp mill has been treating forty tons of ore per day for the past three weeks. On the 10th instant there will be battery cleanup. The ore averages from $4 to $6. It is never handled from the time it enters the car at the chute till:it passes through the mill and the tailings run away down stream, leaving the gold on the plates and batteries.
 The mill runs night and day, with only seven men needed for both shifts. Eight miners are breaking ore in the Thomas tunnel, at a point fifty feet below surface and fifty feet above the main tunnel, to which the ore is drop ed in chutes and from there trammed to the mill, about $50 feet distant.
 One main tunnel is l,200 feet long and from its end 500-foot drift has been run south, the entire distance of 1,700 feet being in ore. A person can easily be lost in the underground work ings.
 The property is on the New York mining stock board, capitalized at $500000 in shares of $1 each. The latest sale quoted up to the 1st instant was 100 shares at fifty-one cents.- Herald.

land, in the shape of contest for prize between washerwomen. Geneva is quite celebrated for it's laundresses, who wash their clothes in the open air and in the water of the River Rhone and Lake Leman. It was quite natural, therefore, if there was to be a washing match any where, for it to be held in Geneva.
 On the day appointed an immense crowd lined the shore of the lake. and the laundresses, having rolled up their sleeves, began washing at the word of command. They soaped and rubbed the clothes, and rinsed and wrung them and hung them up to dry, while the crowd looked on in breathless interest.
 The first prize was won by Mdlle. Le- fevre. Parisian laundress only 19 years old, who went through the process of washing and wringing garment and hanging it up to dry in exactly six min utes. And, as the prize took into con- sideration the thoroughness of the work as well as it's rapidity, the prize winner could not put through her washing "with lick and promise"
 After the contest a banquet was spread, to which 800 of the laundresses and spectators sat down.
 At Troy, N. Y., which has become a city of laundries, and to which clothes are sent to be washed from all through New York and New England, proposi- ton to have 8 contest in washing clothes by hand in the Hudson river would ere ate no little mirth. A washing match at Troy, if the work was conducted in the customary way, would be largely a contest between machinss-Youth's Companion-

Curious Hipdoo Nations

A curious light is thrown on the rural life of Bengal by the contents of a paper reprinted lately in the annual report of the Bombay Archaeological society, says The Calcutta Times. From this paper we are told the following, among other things: Shouting the name of the king of birds (garuda) drives away snakes. Shouting ram, ram, drives away ghosts. Cholera that attacks on Mon day or Saturday ends fatally, but no cholera that attacks on Thursday. The Towering of bamboos augurs famine. In flaming, if the fan strikes the body it should be thrice knocked against the ground. When giving aims the giver and receiver should not be standing on different sides of the threshold. It is bad to pick ones teeth with ones nails. If snake is killed it should be burned. for It IS Brahman. At night the words "snake" and ''tiger" should not be used; call them creepers and insects. Do not wake up sleeping physician. A morn- ing dream always comes to pass. De- votlon without headgear is wrong. Iron is charm against ghosts. A black cat with white face is very auspicious.- New York Star.

Congressman sprinrer's Proposition For
 the Reclamation of Desert Land.

The Hon. Wm. M. Springer, of the House of Representatives from Hi nois, has prepared bill for the recla- nation of desert lands which seems to get pretty well down to the root of the subject and is likely to be popu- lar bill in the irrigating regions and to become a law. The bill provides for irrigation districts first and then he proposes to raise the funds for the reclamation of the vast irrigable lands of the West by the issuance of irrriga- ton bonds which shall be lien on the lands reclaimed by the money which they represent. He thinks therefore that appropriations will not be made from the national treasury for the re- clamation of desert lands. The bill provides for the sale of the reclaimed lands in homesteads to actual settlers. He thinks the bonds will prove favo- lite and safe investment to capital. The scheme embodies 8 point more than has been conceded by Congress generally in regard'to the reclamation of desert lands, which is that the Government will undertake the recla- nation itself. Up to the present time all work that has been done and all schemes for doing the same have mere ly contemplated the engineering work to be done by the Government, and the settlers, or private individuals or the State or Territory to do the actual work of reclamation, but the Springer proposition, if it becomes law, makes the work of retaining the deserts of the West Government work entirely and when the water is on the land then the Government proposes to sell the lands to actual settlers.-Phoenix Herald.

The UngrammatIcal Policeman.

A man was lying stretched out on one of the benches in the Court House park the other night. It was nearly mid night, the leaves rattled dismally in the autumn wind, the park was long ago de- serted and the bench was anything but a pleasant resting place, yet the man lay there until policeman rudely shook his shoulder and said:
 "You can't lay here"
 ''Im not laying here, sir," replied the man.
 But you are; what'er you givin' mel"
 ''But I'm not"
 ''Oh, come off. Get up or I'll call the wagon. You can'tlay here, say."
 But say Pm not laying here.n
 "Well, what are you doing then, you blame fool?"
 'Pm lying here, sir; not laying; I'm no hen."
 "Well, lying then" said the bluecoat in intense disgust; "you can't lie here, then"
 'But I differ with you there. say l can lie here"
 And I say you can't"
 "But I can."
 "Well, I say you can't" and the officer gave strong tug at his coat collar which sent his hat rolling off on to the grass, notwithstanding the explicit orders to keep of.
 ''My friend" said the weary one, as he arose and prepared to accompany the of fcer, "you could never follow your call ing in Boston. You say cannot lie on that bench when have already proven to you my eminent ability in that direc- tiop. Had you remarked to me, You may not"
 But the copper was pulling the box by this time, and told his ward to "drop his chin."-Toledo Blade.

Moose Ropes to Save Life.

Many travellers by rail and steam have doubtless speculated as to the reason for the existence of sort of gallows erected over railroad tracks, with not one but a dozen rope ends dangling from thecross- beam.
 Frequently along the line of the New York Central are these odd looking structures to be seen, and I noticed 8 couple as passed under the bridges on the Culver route from Bay Ridge to Coney Island recently. A few days later the knotted but nooseless ropes swinging in the breeze caught my eye as I was awaiting train at little depot on the Hudson river, and curiosity induced me to question a railroad employe on the subject.
 The mystery that had puzzled me so frequently was simple enough of solu- tion. That contrivance is intended to warn freight brakemen of a bridge ahead" said my informant. "These men, as you know, frequently run along the roofs of freight cars in the night as well as the day time. It is often pitch dark, and they may not know where they are even if on the lookout for possi- ble dangers. But in nine times out of ten they are too much engrossed in their work to think about low bridges, where man standing erect or even kneeling on a car roof would have his brains dashed out against the hard stone or brick while the train swept from under him. The gallows like structures you refer to are placed at sufficient dis tance from bridge to give the brake man time to lie flat on his car roof and thus avoid the danger. The rope ends strike him lightly on the head or shoul- ders as the train passes under them, thus giving him gentle reminder of the bridge ahead. New York Herald.

Cost of q Locomotixe.

One man can build an eight wheel passenger locomotive for 8 standard gauge railroad in 1,500 days; it will re- quire 1850 days work for him to build a consolidated ten wheel locomotive fol a standard gauge. The average cost of the required labor would be $4 ,835, and the cost of the necessary metal is usually estimated at about 5000. The profit may be put down at another $2.000. which would include the expenses of sale and delivery. This would make an engine, when absolutely ready for serv- ice and complete in every way, worth about $s,635.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

Big Mine Prof.s.

Cave Creek mines are profitable. Last spring Messrs. Stewart and Bellas bought from Marcel Dugas the whole of the Favorite mine, on Gold Hill, for $25 To-day Stewart transferred his half interest, together with a similar share in the Monarch claim, located May l,lSS9, to Louis P. Elder for $l 300. This is said to be almost entirely cash transaction The chief value is attached to the Favorite, and thus MT. Stewart, in about six months, clears over $l 400 on an investment not exceeding $100 at the outside !; while the purchaser also has a bargain that satisfies him fully.-Herald.

Arizona Cotton.

A cotton bush was brought in tc-lay by A. J. Straw, for the Chamber of Commerce. Planted last April, on s. c. Bartlett's fig ranch, northwest of town, under the Arizona canal, it has yielded two crops, while the third is still on the bush. The fibre spreads out from the seed like first quality southern. It grew from seed of seeds furnished by the U. $. Government some years ago. No cultivation was expended on it. W. T. Hanna also raised quite a crop this year which was entirely volunteer growth. From 9 roots MT. Straw has picked two flour sacks of cotton.-Phenix Herald.

Unscrewing a Fountain Pen.

If you use fountain pen, and find it difficult to unscrew the nozzle, wrap 8 rubber band few times around it. That will give grip almost equal to pair of pincers, and will not injure the holder. If you haven't rubber at hand a string or dampened pieee of paper will do. A glass stopper may thus be easily re. moved from bottle or inkstand after defying the strongest grip of moist fngers.-Writer.

SETTLED AT LAST.
The Famous Suit of Kimberly vs. Arms
 Amicably Settled.

The Famous Suit of Kimberly vs. Arms
 Amicably Settled.
 The suit of Kimberly vs. Arms has been settled by the payment to Kim berly of $100,000 in cash and an inter- est in 1000 shares of stock in the Grand Central mining company. The U. $. supreme Court had decided the suit against Arms, but re-opening of the case was probability, and set clement on the above basis was made.
 The history of the case is, briefly, as follows Kimberly and Arms were partners in many mining ventures, and several years ago had division of property by which Arms took the Grand Central interests. In the meantime Arms, after the settlement, induced Fairbank to take a big lock in the stock, and retained several thousand shares for himself. There having been some hitch in the settle ment between Kimberly and Arms the former began suit against the latter for a division of the money Arms had made out of the stock and sale to Fairbank, with the result that he se- cured judgment It was on this iudg- meat-tAet 75ai -scctt%leR1ent was made on Wednesday last, by which $100,000 in cash was paid to Kimberly, and half interest in the stock held by Arms transferred to him.
 The Prospecter interviewed Mir. F.. B. Gage on the effect the settlement would have on the affairs of the com pany, and was assured that it could not possibly have any effect whatever, as but 2 1000 shares were represented in the settlement, out of the 200, 900. It is understood that Messrs. Leach and Gage own 1l2,000 shares of the stock between them -Prospector.

 Each couple must think of question, sensible or ridiculous, historical or in regard to the weather. to be written on the cards, after which the cards are to be gathered together, and the leader reads each in turn, giving a few moments for the partners to consider the subject and write the answer, which should be read aloud in turn. This is where the fun of the game begins, as many of the answers are exceedingly queer.
 Those having correct answer mark their card 10, a wrong answer 0, and if the answer is anywhere near right it is counted 5. When all are added prizes may be distributed, as in progressive games for the best and poorest record.
 The instructive part of the game is the discussion which follows the questions.

Remarkable Blind Men.

A namesake of our great American temperance lecturer, John Cough, an Englishman by birth, became quite cele- brated as botanist and writer on sub- jects pertaining to natural philosophy. He was totally blind from the age of years, the sense of vision being so dead ened that he could not perceive the glare of sunlight upon the snow on the bright est winter days. Disabled by this appall- ing affliction, he studied botany, his wife, brothers and sisters doing his read ing, and collected and arranged, by the sense of touch alone, and without the least aid from any living human being, one of the largest and most valuable col lection of dried herbs and grasses at that time (1780) known in Britain.
 That wonderful invention, the string alphabet for the blind, was invented by a man who never saw his queer looking machine, the face of his mother, or the 'sglad sunlight" of which he so feelingly wrote. David Macbeth was blind from birth, yet perfect genius in a dozen different ways. Hewas an accomplished musician, perfect prodigy in mathe- matics and an inventor of no mean order of merit. Besides his string alphabet, he was the inventor of one of the earliest known revolving barrel churns, of a clamp to be used by bookbinders in stitching leaves together, and of 8 self oiling attachment for wagons and carri- ages. He could take his watch to pieces and put it together almost as quickly as the man who made it could have done. It was without crystal, and by gently touching the hands with the tips of his fingers he could tell within one second of the time of day or night.
 He was an expert at the national game of cricket and was reckoned as being one of the most valuable men in some parts of the game, but useless in others.
 When he died he had been engaged for years on the perfection of a fire escape, which has since, with some slight changes and additions, made London firm inde. pendent.
 Alexander Rodenback, the Belgian politician, and for long time member of the Belgian lower house, was totally blind. Besides being noted as political economist, Rodenback was the author oi several works on deaf muteism, blindness and kindred subjects.-John W. Wright in St. Louis Republic.
