HITHERTO UNKNOWN.
The Antelope Mining District, and Developments Lately
 Made There.

Mining Districts are pretty plentiful in Arizona, and that one should only be discovered at this late day would indicate that the omniprssent pros pector has not been quite so omni- present as his reputation has it, in that he has overlooked 8 mining region in Pinal county, the develop ment of which began with work on General Johnson's Antelope mine some months ago. For fifteen miles we'll defined croppings may be traced on the surface, along which the min ers' monuments are becoming more and more plentiful. The ledge is re- ported to be portion of the Nam moth, and in localities along it's length varies somewhat in character and metals. But one location previous to the Antelope is found, where g shaft runs through barren rock, from which some prospector evidently judged the entire district.
 A property situated beyond the Antelope, not far from Willow Springs and six miles from the Putnam ranch, at Dudleyville, owned by M. Waer ard partner, is developing we'll. Twenty feet of ore is reported, of which fair sample carries SIS in gold, SIP in silver and twenty-seven per cent in lead. This is regarded as very paying proposition, as the lead alone will pay all cost of transportation and reduc- tion, leaving the gold and silver as profit. At the Antelope 500 tons of ore have been piled on the dump, which is rapidly growing. The mill will be put in in December. Mineral surveys are being made in the new distaict.-L Citizen.

Still A Mystery.

The story is told of 8 religious newspaper man from Boston who visited Tombstone at the time the Grand Central mine was in bonanza on the 300 1t level. He expressed a desire to see the mine and c. w. Leach showed him through the differ ent levels, reaching the big ore body just uncovered. He looked ar it in amazement and asked for it's dimen- siOns as far as uncovered. He was told that it was 90 feet long and 40 feet wide. He hesitated moment and then repeated: GAO feet wide and 90 feet long, and God only knows how deep it is and he wont tell.

THE recent decision of the United States court in Southern Dakota, that the killing of an army officer by an Indian was not murder because state of war existed between the United States and the tribe to which he be- longed, may be good law, but it is not good justice. And if it is good law, then it would also be in equity that the solitary Apache, Comanche or Sioux could levy war as we'll as his respective tribe. Isn't it about time that the United States was getting down to bedrock on the Indian ques- tion?

Death to Agricultural Pests.

Chinch bugs and such agricultural pests are threatened with extinction as com plete as that of the dodo. For some time past Professor s. A. Forbes, State Entomologist of Illinois, has been engaged in propagating fungus that speedily destroys them. As soon as it gets foothold on them, it srows rapidly, covering them completely with substance that looks like flour.
 It was discovered by Prof. Forbes in 1889 on the chinch bugs that were ravaging the fields of southern Illin- ois. His attention was attracted to it by the fact that it preyed on the chinch bugs to such an extent that they were practically exterminated. The idea occurred to him that l! il, could be artificially propogated, and bugs that were affected with 1t turned loose in field where other bugs were at work, one of the heaviest sources of loss to the wheat grower might be prevented. He has since succeeded in cultivating the spores in vials filled with fluid of corn meal and beef tea reduced to consistency of thin bat ter. Each vial is lightly corked with soft cotton to exclude other spores, and here x61Hth. goes GIHwith prodig-:
 is covered. Each sp6rc( be distinctly seen only unGe. {. microscope, is capable of producing millions of other spores whenever subjected to conditions fav- orable to propagation. The fungus has been tried with deadly effect on the cabbage worm, the June beetle, the flea beetle, the cucumber beetle and various other insects. The proh- lem that Prof. Forbes Is trying to solve now is a practical method o. utilizing his discovry. The distribu- ton of jars filled with spores among farmers who could infect live chinch bugs and SC. them free in fields being ravaged. has been proposed. It is hoped, however, to devise a method of preserving the spores in the same way that the yeast plant is preserved in the yeast cake. Culture from this s,urce could thus be started whenever it is desired.-l Boston Journal.

ELECTRICAL RAILWAYS.

This Mode of Travel Is Becoming Popu-
lar In America.
1t is n well-known fact that in the de-
velopment of the electric railway Amer
lea leads the world, says Electricity
Three years ago there were only thir-
teen electrical roads in the United
States; now there are over 400, and the
advices from every part of the country
indicate that before the close of the
present year the number will be in
creased to 500. The capital now invest
ed in American electric railways OK
ceeds $4,000, 600. Horse sense" counts
for but little In this age of rapid transit.
We old dogs have been obliged to learn
new tricks, and without the usual priv
ilege of serving an apprenticeship. Our
stables are being converted into power
houses; the electrician has taken the
place OF the veterinary surgeon; our
drivers are being educated rs motor
men, and most of us have horse cars for
sale.
Below are some interesting statistics
OF the street railway industry of the
country, which shows that the electric
cars in use outnumber the cable and
steam cars combined. There are 0,7S2
electric cars now running, against
total of 4,S61 cable and steam cars.
Since November, 1890, the number of
horses employed on street railway lines
has fallen from 1lG,705 to SO, ia; that is
2S,GS1 in one year. at this rate it will
not take long to emancipatc the horse
frem street railway business.
The city having the greatest length of
street railways is Philadelphia, with
$40 miles of single track Chicago fol-
lows next with 452 miles; New York has
$50 miles; Brooklyn has 2S5; Boston,

THE JAPANESE mo" DANCE.

An OntlandIsh Performances by Automa-
ton-I.tke Actors.
The No dance of the Japanese is
wholly artificial, the movements of the
actors being rs stiff, stilted and meas
urcd as the classic idiom in which the
dialogue is spoken and the ancient and
obsolete ideographs which set forth the
synopsis of the action Confined to
yashikis and monastcries, the No was
Tor the upper classes, who alone could
understand its involved and lofty die
ton and intricate symbolism.
The No is trilogy occupying four or
five hours of three successive days The
first set of scenes is to propitiate the
gods: the second to terrify evil spirits
and punish the wicked, and the third to
glorify the good, beautiful and pleasant.
The dramatis personae are gods, god
dcsses, demons, priests, warriors and
heroes of early legend and history, and
much of the action is allegorical.
BY long, open gallery at the left the
actors approach the elevated Pavilion
or platform of the stage. which is with
out curtain or scenery, and almost with
out properties. The costuming is superb,
many of the rich, ccntury-old brocade
and cloth of gold garments having de-
scended several generations
The actors enter at gait that out
struts the most exaggerated stage stride
ever seen, the body held rigid Us a
statue, and the foot, never wholly lifted,
sliding slowly along the polished floor.
These buclsram figures, moving with
the solemnity of condemned men, utter
their lines like automatn, not muscle
nor an eyelash moving, not flicker of
expression changing the countenance.
The nasal, high-pitched and falsetto
tones are unspeakably distressing, and
many performers have ruined and lost
their voices and even burst blood YES
sells in the long-continued, unnatural
strain Of their recitation. The children,
who sometimes take part, equal the old
est members in their gravity and me
chanicalncss.
In some delightful scenes the demons,
with hideous masks and abundant
wigs of long, red silk hair, spread de-
liberate and conventional terror among
the buclSram grandees; and, stamping
the stage wildly, leaping and whirling,
relieve the long-drawn seriousness of
the trilogy. 1t is only when all the
performers are without the ancient.
lacquered masks that the scene is to be
imagined as light and amusing farce,
while the roars of the audience are
elected by stately, ponderous and time
honored puns, and plays upon words
that IL foreigner can not appreciate
