News from the Mines.
TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.

Not very much work has been done iu the line of assessments, during the year 1889 and the first day of the New Year will witness many relocatlons which cannot do any harm even if relocators do not work the claims.
 The Sea Surge is being worked by McClelland, the new owner, who has much faith in his bonanza.
 The T. Nj. & M. O.. are eXtricating and shipping their usual quantity or ore. The announcement IS made that this company has paid expenses during the year 1889 and that is all, they have however brought thousands of tons of ore in sight which they did not have a year ago, and have their properties Tn such shape at the present time that they can take out an unlimited amount of ore with little expense.
 The Turquois properties are produc- ing their full weekly output; there IS no dimunition in the amount of ore ID sight.
 At Gold Camp Jack Morrison is run n1ng his srastras and he is saving about S25 per ton while equally as much goes through the gate.
 Copper is up higher than it has been since the syndicate broke, and there IS much activity throughout the country in copper properties.
 The hitch in the Oso Negro will be fixed up very soon and all will be run ming in full blast there by the middle of the month.
 The Bunk sr Hiil is producing some very rich ore from the stopes which was left when the development work was started on the lower levels.
 INDEPENDENCE Since the last report cross cutting from the lOO-foot level of the north shaft was commenced, toward what is known as the tunnel ledge. The sinking of Q winze to follow down the rich Argenti- ferrous lead ore was also started during the week, otherwise no change is report ed in the mine or the number of men at work.

This district has not reported anything startling during the week. From Mir. S. R. Delong we learn that the bond on the Casey group Of mines is up on the first day of January and there is abso- lutely no knowledge afloat that would lndics te lat the sa e w,ll be promulgat- ed or not.
 The Silver Cave which is owned by Mir. Delong and which he was reported to be trying to place in San Francisco is looking well, but the owner says that he was not in California in behalf of his mining interest.

 The fight for the restoration of silver is the fight of the debtors against the creditors, the laborer against the capital ist, of the poor against the rich. To day all over the northwest the farmer views with dismay the narrow margin between the cost and the income of his wheat fields, and wonders why it is that the prices of these things which he has to sell continue to fall in value so much faster than the price of those things he is compelled to buy.
 To day in my. State, Nevada, the min CT stands by the deserted shaft and the smokeloss furnace and wonders why 1t is that the value has departed from the fair white metal. To-day the Southern planter reads the market reports with sigh and wonders why it is with an increased production of the great South ern staple there cannot be an increase of | the price sufficient to free him from the i fears of bankrupcy.

CAMPBELL DENIES 1T.
Continued Investigation into the Ballot
Box Forgery.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The house COM
mittee investigating the Ohio ballot box
forgery began its hearings to-day. Repre-
sentative Whiting, of Michigan, denied
the genuineness of his signature to the
ballot box contract. He told what he knew
about Walters, who secured a number of
signatures for Wood. He had no suspicion
of anything wrong with Walters, and had
confidence in his character. Powell
Crossley, formerly associated with Butter
worth in the practice of law, said that
Wood told him in 1888 about his box; that
John r. Mclean and T. c. Campbell were
engineering it, and were going to nave a
democratic congressman introduce the bill.
He had no intimation that Butterworth
had anything to do with the ballot boxes,
and believed Butterworth did not know
Wood until after the publication. Gov.
James E. Campbell, of Ohio, was handed
the forged paper, and declared he had
never seen it until that minute. He al
ways wrote his name in full, James Z.
Campbell. After he heard Woods state
ment that he had gotten hold of letter
signed u. E. c." he made up his mind
Wood had used the initials and filed in
his name, in making the forgery. The
witness sometimes signed u. E. c." to
short notes He was never interested in
ballot boxes or any contract bearing upon
them. He introduced the ballot box bill
at the request of T. c.. Campbell. Camp
bell brought one of the ballot boxes to
Washington and said the election commit
tee was going to deal with the
subject of ballot boxes and he
wanted to get his ballot box before them.
He had spoken to Representative Grosve-
nor and now came to him q. E. Campbell)
as a democratic introduction would give
the bill better standing. Just before his
speech in Cincinnati, October 4, a re-
porter for the Cincinnati Post showed him
a card from Halstead, rejecting upon wit
ness. and he said, Halstead is a liar and
if he can prove anything of that kind |
will get off the democratic ticket. Adj
journed until tomorrow.

YOUNG MEMS SISTERS.
By KATE THORN.
New YORK WEEKLY.

Young men are generally very kind and
considerate toward the sisters of somebody
else, but it Is not often that they extend
the same courtesy and consideration to
their own sisters.
The average young man will allow his
sister to run up two flights of stairs to bring
him a handkerchief, and never dream that
it may fatigue her, while he would walk a
mile to get faded-out cluster of cardinal
flowers for the sister of some other fellow.
lest she might exert her delicate strength
in going for it herself
If his own sister wants to ride anywhere,
the young man always discovers that it is
either too hot or too cold for her to be out,
and he can t ride with so many in the car
riage, and he is in hurry. and can't stop
to bother with women, and off he Will go;
but if some other fellows sister will only
go with him. he'll sit in the carriage with
the flies eating up his horse. and the sun
pouring down on his devoted head two
mortal hours, waiting for her to crimp her
hair. and change her dress, and button her
her new gloves and boots; and when at
last she comes Sweetly forth and tells him
she is afraid she has kept him waiting, he
will assure her that she has been very ex-
peditious, and that he really enjoyed wait
ing the weather was so fine, and the pros
pectssso delightful:
And if his own sister keeps him waiting
FIVE minutes, he is ready to fly away with
lmpatlence, and he will scold enough to

The Girl Who Hints.

Naturally you didn't ask him, and you
would be very indignant indeed if any
body suggested that you had forced the
poor fellow into bringing you the flowers,
candy, or In taking you to the concert.
No, you didn' ask him, but you couldn t
have been any clearer about it than you
were when you looked into his eyes in
your most beseeching way and told him
how anxious you were to hear the great
violinist; how sweet you thought viOlets,
and how you did wish for a pound of
chocolate. He didn't want to get any of
these, he hadn't the money to spend for
them; he doesn't get very large salary,
he is trying to keep himself out of debt,
and yet because he is generous and can +
resist a girl you have forced him into a
dishonest position. That's it in plain
English when the end of the week comes
and he is ten dollars short in his money, a
little bit on his board bill! must wait, his
laundress cannot be attended to, and the
money that should go home must be apollo
gized for. This is the first step toward not
doing his duty, and you made him take it.
The American man Is generous, and when
he has the money he will invite you him
self without your suggesting to him what
you like, or what you, think heought to do.
Besides the harm you do him, you are
making Yourself vulgar-he has perfect
right to go away and say that he doesn' t
want to visit at your house any more, be-
cause you hint and hint until he has to
take you some place of amusement, or
make you presents and that, for his part
he cannot afford it. Continue. as you are
doing and after awhile you will get the
reputation among men of being an undesir-
able girl to know, and certainly no man
who has heard of your reputation to ''gst
things out of men" will want to ask you
to be his wife Better stay at home for
ever than goself-invited; better never taste
candy than eat that obtained at the high
cost of-self-respect; better never smell a
violet, or rose than forget, in your search
for them. that is the modesty of the violet
and the dignity of the rose that makes
them Pre-eminent among the flow ers.-

THE CHAMPION SKATER.
Exciting Race Over Ten-mile Course on
Soft Ice.

EAU CLAIRE, Feb. 3.-McCormick, of
New Brunswick, defeated Axtel Paulsen in a
ten-mile race yesterday afternoon and takes
the title of champion skater of the world,
which Paulsen has held for eight years.
The weather was mild and the track bad,
but nearly 1000 people turned out to wit
ness the contest. White made his first
five miles in q minutes and his last in
1879 He had gained half lap during
the first four, and then the two skaters
kept along easily and close together till
the twenty-ninth lap, when Mccormick
increased his lead and completed his thir-
ty-second and final lap third of mile
ahead of Paulsen.
The general impression is Paulson had
given up from the start and only skated
because he couldn't avoid it. Paulsen
sold the result was due to the bad
condition of the ice. 81 proposed" he
said, ito Mccormick to skate for the re-
ceipts and let the championship contest go
for the present, because had only my
thin skates and his were twice as thick as
mine and better adapted to soft ice. He
wouldn't do that and had to skate on
account of the big crowd that had gather
ed" Probably $4,000 changed hands
over the result.

sembeled twelve of the most entertaining
men In all London, but that at one time
at that sitting FIVE of the wits fell asleep.
1t would hardly be thought creditable in
Chicago if at a dinner party of twelve per-
sons sleep should take possession OF so
large a number.
The real truth must be that the intel
lectual dlnner-party or tea-party has been
about the same In all the civilized centers.
Some wit, some wisdom. some display of
toilet, male and female, much food, much
drink, and some egotism and romance
have entered into those things from the
times of Pericles to those of the Western
President. At Virgil's party in the first
book of the Eneid Iopas sang indeed some
high-toned, scientific songs and Eneas
talked in the field of history, butt all
ate and brand tremendously, particularly
did Bitias. while Dido carried on an I'M
happy eourtship with the exile King.
There is no evidence that the English liter
airy evenings from Addison to Dickens
possessed any marked value above the
many literary dinners given in the
Americans cities, 1t is almost certain that
the American dinner" surpasses its
predecessor in all the details of reinment.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Divorced Couple Again the Recipients of
Cupid's Darts.

BosCoBEL, Wis, Jan. 30.-Last week
James Bird returned to Boscobel after an
absence of thirteen years, says the Dial.
He with his wife, Jane Bird, resided in
this city years before that, and she has
lived here ever since that time.
Thirteen years ago they had falling
out. He left her, and she was granted a
divorce. On his arrival here few days
ago he met his former wife with the
evident intention of making up, but
she, with the inherent coquetry of her sex,
stood him off. He Immediately left for
Daggett Station, H., to visit his son and
two daughters. As soon as he had gone
repentance filed the lady's heart. She
thought he would hang around her for
year at least. Relief came to her few
days ago, however, in dispatch from her
children inviting her to come down, and
she joyfully took the train to Daggets
Station. People here look for wedding

An Engineer Alive in the Water But He
Cannot be Rescued.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Feb. 3.-This evening as
an Ohio Indiana & Western freight train
started to go over bridge spanning the
river at Bridge Junction, the first span
gave away, preeipitating the engine,
tender and three cars into the river. Fire
man O'Brien and Brakeman Lewis were
instantly killed The engineer was
pinned in the cab, with his head
Just above water. Physicians have
worked all night doing all they can for
him. He is still alive but there are no
hopes of getting him out.
The surgeons would cut his legs off,
could they reach them, bt1t>cannot on ac-
count of the wreckage. As it is they are
applying hot water and administering
brandy, in the hope of keeping him
alive until something can be done.
1t is said the passengers on the Peoria,
Decatur & Evansville train, which went
over the bridge fifteen minutes ahead of
the wreck, felt the bridge sagging.

A MYSTERIOUS ROOM.
That Occupied by Professor Lyman Soon to
Be Opened.

New YORK, Feb. IA new Haven
special says: Now that Professor Chester
S. Lyman has passed away there will be
an investigation into what has heretofore
been mystery He, as Sheffield Professor
of Astronomy, had the sole entry to a
small windowless brick building, 10x15,
in the rear Of North Sheffield Hall. In
this building was placed astronomical APP
paratus, and after the Winchester Observa-
tory was built he asked to be allowed to
have the sole use of the little brick build
ing. Into that building Professor Lyman
had gone at all hours of the night, and
would often stay there from midnight I'M
til sunrise, and thus he worked hundreds
of hours. The door had peculiar lock, of
which he alone had the key. He also re-
quested that no one be allowed to enter the
building until after his death, and this
was promised him by the faculty Now
the door will soon be opened. and there
are those who believe that sight of his
last work will give valuable knowledge to
the scientific world The members of the
faculty have a lively curiosity to know
what is hidden behind the door.

Selling Their Shanties.

ASHLAND, Wis, Jan. 3O.-Since the
decision of Secretary Noble in reference to
the Holton squatters near Iron river, in
this district, the land craze in this city has
collapsed, as it virtually covers the point
involved in these latter applications. The
point is, that although the lanes may not
belong to the Central grant, the Omaha
can claim them on their prior grant OF
1856. This is claimed to settle the ques-
ton over the lands in conflicting grants.
There are large number of shanties for
sale. Lawyers, preachers and clerks who
made great haste to get in fling, will
now have an opportunity to repent their
rashness.

line and the Canadian Pacific line
to make as low rates from Boston
to Nebraska points by way of ST. Paul, as
any that may be made by way of Chicago.
The decision will undoubtedly cause some
uneasiness ON the part of direct lines be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river.

THE AUSTRALIAN BOOMERANG.
SI1illful Way in Which the Natives Use 1t
Their Shield.

SI>illfu1 Way in Which the Natives Use 1t
Their Shield.
The boomerang consists OF a stick of
hard wood about two feet in length, with
projection at one end, notched so as to re-
ceive the butt of long slender spear
When the spear is launched at any object
the stick is retained in the hand and by a
dexterous movement gives an added i'm
pulse to the weapon like that which sling
imparts to stone. So great is the force
given by this contrivance that a spear
(untipped with metal or bone as it is and
consisting simply of shaft of hard, point
ed wood thrown by it has been known to
pass completely through the body of an
enemy at distance of fifty yards. This
efficiency in spear-throwing was
evidently, says the Boston Journal, the re-
suit of applied reasoning by some ancient
philosopher among the ''blackfellows.
The boomerang was probably discovered
by accident. It's shape is almost precisely
that of the eucalyptus leaf; nor can any
one who has sat under gum tree and
seen the whirling flight In which one of
these leaves settles TO the ground IN cratic
curves when disl0dged from a lofty bough
fail to remark the resemblance of its move
ments to those of the boomerang, and to
see in it at least the possible origin of that
paradoxical weapon.
Native Australians have a certain natur-
al alertness and address which is some
thing more than animal but in general
seems but little allied to the human being.
Most of their development is III the direc-
ton of war and the chase, and in these
pursuits they still manifest some survival
of an ancient proficiency with rude weap-
ons which must have been simply marvel
Gus. 1t was not long that one of these
aboriginals, coming upon cricket practice
with one of the rude shields of his tribe,
showed an amazing adroitness in its use.
An Australian native shield is simply a
piece of wood about two feet long and
three or four inches wide, with a handle
at its back. and pointed at each end-bear-
ing, indeed the shape Of rather broad
pick-ax. Protected simply by narrow
Shield, held at arms length twisted and
turned here and there by movements of the
wrist as rapid and plant as could be shown
by the most expert fencing-master, this
black permitted about twenty of the swift
est throwers among the assembled cricket
ers to range themselves before him and
hurl hard cricket balls as rapidly as possible.
No one could hit him, the balls flew from
his rapidly whirling shield like clots of
mud from a carriagewheel, and until the
throwers stopped from sheer exhaustion he
stood there calmly grinning, accomplish
ing with easy nonchalance feat which
made the story Of the swordsman who
never used an umbrella, but kept himself
dry in a rain-storm by diverting the drops
with his foil almost believable.

THE FROST FAIRIES WORK.

A cottage and a mansion
Stood strangely side by side
One marked by narrow windows
And one by easements wide
And the sun by day shown inward
And was echoed back at night
In one. through costly laces
And in one, through muslin white.
But there came night when the fairies,
Who lived In the realm of cold,
Came down in their silyery chariots
That soft on the moonbeams rolled;
And there, on the panes of the windows
OF both they deity wrought,
With their fairy, flying fingers,
Such lace as ne'er was bought.
And the glowing sun rolled upward
When the fairy troop had gene,
And into the cot and mansion
With a silvery CLEAN it shown,
While the threads of the fairy laces
With gems it scattered DER,
Till the panes of the muslined window
The daintiest curtains wore.
