THE abduction of baby from the
residence of a Kansas City millionaire
last week, and the ransom of the same
by the payment of $4,000 to the abduct
ors is the latest sensation of the day.
The thing was worked so smoothly, and
so little trouble was met in getting the
ransom money, that the public may
look for other speculations of the same
kind to follow shortly. Banker Beals,
in promising the abductors not to pros
ecute, and sticking to the promise, not
only encourages the new Industry
but will have a tendency to discourage
the police and detective forces. Ii he
had offered the SIS, 900 as reward in
stead of ransom he would doubtless
have recovered his child fully as soon,
and the money would have gone to
honest men. AS it is, he and his en-
tire family should be compelled to tes-
tify against the abductors already cap
tared, and there ought to be a law that
could make them also furnish evidence
for the apprehension of the man

HOLM ES ORE.
The Comp NY viii Erect Leach
ing Works.

The management OF the Holmes
mine is considering the feasibility of
erecting extensive teaching works tor
the reduction of the vast reserves of
low grade ore which have been passed
by in former years as being OF too
little value 10 pay for milling.
This company has been experiment
ing on small scale with the teaching
process, and the results of the expert
meets are more than satisfactory.
About |, 100 ounces of sulphides were
shipped to the Selby smelling works
from the Holmes mine last month, and
Melted $775 above all expenses. The
sulphides came from IS tons of refuse
ore from the Holmes waste dumps,
treated by the teaching process as an
experiment.
The success attending the first trial
has encouraged the Holmes people so
much that works having the capacity
for treating 100 tons of ore per day are
to be erected in the near future if the
price OF silver does not drop below
that of rock salt.
In connection with the proposed
new works, Mr.. Asa B. Eastwood OF
the Holmes Company was in Haw-
thorne last Sunday inspecting the large
roasters and other machinery from the
Mt. Cory Mill, which is now awaiting
shipment TO Virginia City. Mr.. East.
wood also examined the lumber and
timber on hand at Forbes & Toby's
yard and made an inspection of the
old teaching tanks of the Cory Con-
pany, with the view of purchasing the
same if his company decides to build
the works. Mr.. Eastwood says that
the company cnn work $40 ore at a
profit by the leaching process. AT
present they cannot touch anything
less than SIS ore, and it requires close
figuring to make that pay. He esti-
mates that there are fully 400, 900 tons
of refuse ore on the dumps, as well as
immense quantities of low-grade ore
in the mine that can be worked at a
profit. And then the mining of The
low-grade ore will develop large areas
of new ground, and it is not improb-
able that rich bodies will be encount-
cred, as it has proven itself to be most
fertile ground in the past.

FUTURE. OF THE OYSTER.
It's Extinction Threatened Unless New
Methods Aro Adopted.

It's Extinction Threatened Unless New
Methods Arc Adopted.
A recent letter from General Bradley
7. Johnston to Baltimore paper pre-
dieting the extinction Of the oyster beds
unless measures shall be taken to re-
plenish them is likely to bear good fruit.
President Tyler, of William and Mary
College of Virginia, in letter to the
Richmond Dispatch says that this col
lege would gladly undertake the trust
OF experimental oyster culture. The
college is in the center of tide-water
Virginia, contiguous to the oyster-beds
of James and York rivers, and the gift
to it of few thousand acres of oyster
lands would enable it to work out the
question of oyster-culture on scientific
basis. The offer should enlist the ready
cooperation of the State. ..',.
1t may be true, as Florida papers
say, that Indian river alone has oys-
ter-beds enough to supply the con-
tinent for years, or, as one journal
puts it,, that ''any settler along it's
banks who wants bed of his own
has only to put few palmetto logs on
the bottom of the river, throw bushel
of oysters upon it and they immediately
go to growing and multiplying indefi-
nitely." Admitting this, it is a we'll
known fact that some of the most high
ly-prized beds in our neighboring waters
have virtually become exhausted, SO
that the varieties of oysters that made
them famous are merely traditions now.
Besides, oyster-culture has it's scientific
claims, and irrespective of results, the
proposition of the Virginia college is
commendable as showing the practical
tendency of college work in these days.

Wonderful Sight Witnessed on Pixies
J. Peak.


In q paper describing q perilous ascent
of Pixies Peak, Lieutenant John p. Fin
ley, United States Signal Service, says
that the ascent was made in April, when
the snow was the deepest Of all months
of the year, and the Lieutenant was ac-
companied by the sergeant of the sta
ton. The ascent was accomplished on
mule back until zone of deep snow was
reached, and then the animals were
taken back to the halfway house below.
Into this snow they sometimes sank to
their armpits and saved themselves
from plunging deeper by spreading out
their arms. At one time they crossed
frozen crust in the shape of a
turtles back, where O foothold had to
be cut at every step, and where mis-
step would have sent them thousands of
feet down the mountain. Electric
storms sometimes were witnessed there,
when each snowflake charged with elcc-
tricity discharged q spark as it touched
mules back in It's fall. Electric sparks
streamed from the finger tips of up
raised hands. In their ascent they en-
countered storm Of sleet that cut their
faces SO as to draw blood. Tho last five
miles was fight for Hfo against wind,
sleet, cold and rarified air. .-.....

Latest Fad in Bath-Tubs.

1t is quite possible, indeed it is very
easy, to pay fifteen hundred dollars for
a bath-tub in these days, says the New
York Sun. For seven hundred dollars
or eight hundred dollars the makers
now offer tubs of iron faced with por-
celain and then boxed around with mar
BILE in such way that to all appear
apce the whole tub is carved out Of the
beautiful stone. But If you want to
battle elegantly and have fifteen hun
dred dollars to spare you may buy u
sbath-tub all marble outside and raised
Mt one end to a height Of ten feet to ac-
commodate shower-spray in tall
marble tower that is open at the end
toward the rest of the tub. If you put
this in your bathroom and cover the
walls and floor with glazed tiles and set
up cheval glass seven feet high in
which to look at yourself while you
battle you will be quite in the fashion

the least.
