A Mystery.

How the human system ever recov- CTS from the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often literally poured into it for the suppositive relief of dyspep- sia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism and other ailments is a mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by disease. If they who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheumatic, would oftener be guided by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid derivable from rational medication. This medicine is a searching and at the same time a thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources, and possessing, in consequence of its basis of pure spirits. properties as medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery locol bit ters and stimulants often resorted to by the debilitated, dyspeptic and languid.

WHERE FLESH TURNS TO STONE.
Peculiar and Marvellous Property of Rapid
 City Soil.

Peculiar and Marvellous Property of Rapid City soil.
 The character of the soil in and around Rapid City, $. D., has peculiar and marvellous property, wonderful characteristic which completely contro- verts the Biblical injunction: "Dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return"
 For the last fifty years, says tho St. Louis Republic, the Bad Lands," lying seventy-five miles to the southeast of the little city above mentioned, has been the wonderland of America, it be- ing locality unequaled in the world as receptacle for petrefactions of ami mals of both the land and water kind. But the wonders of the Bad Lands" are equaled in one respect at least by the mineral saturated soil at Rapid City.
 True, petrefactions of remote geolog- ical ages are not found in such pro- fusion at Rapid City as they are farther south. but, what is equally as wonder full, human bodies which have reposed but a short time in the soil of those South Dakotan hills are transformed into statues of stone as hard as the hardest marble.
 But few of these last resting places have been disturbed, and those only when friends thought it absolutely nec- essary; however, in each case the same peculiarity was exhibited.

Hand Jiggfng.

The Enterprise of Silver City gives some information regarding hand jig ging at Cooks Peak, which may prove of benefit to chloriders in this section. Walter c Hadley, manager of the Cooks Peak Mining Company, had couple of jigs made under the direc- ton of J. H. Cook of Joplin, Missouri, who has had several years experience with various classes of ore. The ma chimes were built at the mine and at Deming, and cost about $lO0 each, the principal expense being in the manu- facture of the grate. MT. Hadley has since bought larger grates Gin sections> for $5, which would certainly reduce the cost of the machine to about $40 or $50.
 The jigs were built for the purpose of experimenting on dump of from 5000 to 40O0 tons of low grade ore averaging about $5 silver and ' per cent lead. At the time of the visit of the Enterprise man to the mine, 1000 tons had been worked to the entire satisfaction of MT. Hadley. About ten tons were concentrated into one, the last returns giving 1852 in silver and 70 per cent lead. Fully 90 per cent of the silver and all of the lead was saved, which is perhaps better showing than could be made with the various steam concentrating machines with much less expense for operation and without any investment to speak Of

On to Benson.

During the past week there have been vague rumors of determination having been officially expressed that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe would push the north and south road through 10 Benson to co meet with the Guaymas branch of the road. The visit of President Manvil of the Santa Fe to Guaymas and Bisbee was not for pleasure but to post himself better on the situation and be better prepared to recommend new ideas in his annual message at the meeting of the com pany which takes place on the 29th inst. He is said to have expressed much surprise at the steady growth of the traffic on the N. M X A road, and especially that portion of it which or iginates at Tombstone and Bisbee. In connection with this visit the follow. ing, clipped from yesterdays Gazette, is interesting:
 Col. Sims arrived yesterday from the east. The Col. stopped in Chicago and had personal interview with E. M. Dickey, who assured him that the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phenix rail- road company would positively build their road on to Benson.

r. Handy's Win Contested.

The will of Dr. Handy, filed with the probate court two weeks ago, came up for hearing Saturday.
 A contest has been filed to the will. It is made by Mrs. Handy, on the ground that she was his widow, she having appealed the decision of the district court granting divorce, through her attorney, MT. Franklin. Mrs. Crosby. who applied for the appoint ment as executrix, was represented by Messrs. Satterwhite, Maxwell and Lowell. Testimony was taken and the case will be decided in two weeks.
 What Dr. Handy's estate in Califor. mia is, is unknown to the probate court, but in Arizona it is estimated at from $1, 500 to $2,OOO, not including outstanding accounts due him. It consists of one lot, his medical library and instruments and horses and car riages.-Citizen.

Th~ Silver King Strike.

Superintendent Champion, of the Silver King, recently started work on a new shaft at the summit of conical hill to the east of the old workings short distance and at depth of less than twenty feet an ore body was en- countered identical in all particulars to the old Silver King bonaza, but more plentifully supplied with sheets of native silver. The best ore is being shipped and the rest piled up with view to soon starting up the mill at Pinal. Just how great the body of ore is, cannot be determined until it is further explored, but it's discovery at this point proves the correctness of the judgment of many practical miners who always cOntended that the work was going away from the main ore body.-Enterprise.

 ''In 1882 old Black Hawk came back into Illinois with the Sacs and Foxes, and militia companies were raised to go and fight them. All the young men went into the Black Hawk war, and Lincoln and l." said William Graham Green, of Illinois, to New York Sun man. were among them. Maj. Moses K. Anderson came to form the companies and get them into shape. Now, Kirk patrick was very anxious to be elected captain of our company, and so was Abe Lincoln. Maj. Anderson got us all to- gether, and then he called out:
 You aspirants for the captaincy walk twenty paces to the front and face the line.' Kirkpatrick and Lincoln stepped out and faced about.
 Now said the major, the rest of you fall in alongside of the man you want for your captainr
 ''I was the first to run to Lincoln's side, and l stood at his right. Kirk patrick's men formed on his left. After awhile, when all had chosen, there were two long lines, one to the right of Lincoln and one to the left of Kirkpat- rick. Then we saw that Lincoln had beaten Kirkpatrick two to one and had seven over to spare. I'll never forget how, when Abe Lincoln saw how things had gone, the old fellow put his big, horny hand on my shoulder, and could feel him all trembling with delight as he said:
 Bill, I'll be damned if hain't beat himr That was the first time that ever heard Abe swear, and know he must have been powerfully excited to do it.
 ''It was at that time that Lincoln first met Jefferson Davis. Zachary Taylor and Davis were both there, and Jeff Davis swore Lincoln into the service of the United States as captain of our company. l saw him do it."

6RlIIsH SOLDIERS ON WHEELS.
Cyclists Who Can Fight Either Infantry or Cavalry.

or Cavalry.
 Is the soldier cyclist good killer? The men of the Twenty-sixth Cyclist corps can thrust their swords through suspended lemon while riding at rate of sixteen miles an hour.
 The safety bicycles are fitted to carry the rifle at the side, which can be taken out in three seconds, a pouch carrying one hundred rounds of ball cartridges, signaling bags, etc., the whole weight of which is something under seventy pounds, including machine.
 Not the least interesting weapon car ried by the cyclists, says the Strand Magazine, and used for the first time at the Easter maneuvers, is the Gatling gun. This particular gun used is capa- ble of firing at the rate of six shots second. It weighs ninety-seven pounds, the ammunition being carried in cases for the purpose. It is transported to and fro on a gun carriage composed of four safety machines coupled to one another and ridden by four men.
 The bicycle zereba is for the purpose of resisting cavalry, and is formed by some twenty or thirty machines, which are stacked on to one another, the men getting behind the cycles and firing at the approaching enemy. So clever are they at forming these cycling squares, so to speak, that the whole thing can be accomplished in five or six seconds. Indeed, taken all round. the military cyclist is not only very ingenious fel- low, but good way ahead of the ordi- nary infantryman; in fact, he is really an infantryman on temporary wheels.

The order assigning Col. Gordon to- Ft. Wingate, has been revoked upon his own request. He expects to re- main at the post until he receives his promotion.
 Major J. H. Patski, Surgeon U. s. A. who has been op leave since last Feb ruary, is ordered to Fort Supply, I. T.
 Charles E. Rhodes, a private of P Troop, End Cavalry, died at the post hospital, at 10;45 p. m. on the 4th inst.
 Companies D and G, 9th Inf, left the post last Friday for their destin- ation in the far east.
 The water supply at the post is getting rather short. although at present sufficient to meet the wants of the garrison if due care is exercised to prevent waste, but the outlook for winter and spring is very gloomy. General McD. McCook commanding the department of Arizona, accompan- jed by his aids de camp, Lieutenapts McMahon and Baker, visited the post last Saturday and Sunday. The Gen- eral was the guest of Col. Gordon, who with his cordial hospitality, quite captivated him. He made thorough inspection of the post, water supply sources, post garden etc. The gentle men from Los Angeles fully concur in the view heretofore expressed by Col. Gordon that Tanners canyon is a su- perior tite for military post.

HEAD CENTER WINS.
In the Suit Brought Against it by Dis gruntled Stock
 holders.

The Daily San Francisco Report of last Saturday says:
 Judge Wallace gave judgment to- day for the defendant in a number of suits brought by Joseph l.. Moody and others against the Head Center Min ing Company. The actions were to restrain the defendant from selling the stock for non payment of an as- aessment. The plaintiffs charged the company with not having pursued the purposes for which it had been incor- porated and it having done no busi- ness except obtaining 100000 shares of Head Center and Tranquility Min ing Company stock. They averred that the assessment had been levied for an Illegal purpose. One of the suits was brought in the name of Peo pie of the State to annul the Com pany's charter. The corporation was victorious Tn all the suits.
 The settlement of this vexed ques- tion as already stated in the PRospEC- TOR means the collection of the as- sessment and the probable starting cl work on the Head Center.
 The assessment was levied on Jan 19, 1891 and the delinquent sale has been postponed from month to month and in some instances from week tC week since that time. The sale will come off on Oct. 20, next Tuesday

when Rowlen broke from the baili who was guarding him and rushed for the door. As he reached it he turned so as to face the court, and drawing 8 revolver from his pocket placed the muzzle to his breast and fired. Great excitement ensued, but the judge re- mained cool. The wounded man had fallen headlOng to the floor AS he fired the shot and was lying unconscious, with the blood streaming from the wound. The court ordered the bailiff to bring the wounded man to the bar of the court. He did So and laid him on the floor. "Let the poll of the jury proceed" commanded the court. Just as the last juror was called Rowlen re. vived. "I am dying" he said "but I am innocent"

MT. Durkee Suffering from a Recent
 Accident.
lLos Angeles Express


 J. E. Durkee, the Arizona capitalist, who threatened to commit suicide at the Nadeau hotel Saturday afternoon, was not intoxicated, as was supposed to be the case among the bystanders at the time. Over a year ago, while a guest at the Nadeau, he was so ill thai his life was despaired of, and he would scarcely have recovered but for the constant and tender care of his es,iin- able wife. While he recovered snffi- ciently to attend to business,,.he never fully regained his strength, and at all times has been physically weak and extremely nervous. During recent visit to Arizona he received severe confusion on the head. and to these combined influences is to be attributed his irresponsible attempt at self de struction on Saturday.
 He was never drinking man, rarely taking even a glass of wine, and he was not under the influence of intoxi cants Saturday. MT. Durkee is gen. tleman, highly respected by all who know him, generous and warm hearted and his domestic relations are of the most enviable character, Mrs. Durkee bring fit companion to such man The sad affair of Saturday was due entirely to his bad physical condition temporarily unbalancing his mind.

Exhaustion of Coal yIines.

It is estimated that the British coal mines will be exhausted in less than six hundred to eight hundred years. It is further calculated that, drawing upon only one of her fields, the West phalia, Germany will not exhaust that before the end of the twenty-scventh century, but that by the beginning of the year 5000 the big coal fields of Ba- varia and Aachen and the Silesian dis. tricts will be entirely used up.
