COpperOpolis burned.

CoPPERoPoLIs, Nov. 23.-The hoisting
works, together with the storeroom,
blacksmith-shop and 100 feet of shed on
No. 2 shaft, owned by the Union Copper
Mining Company at this place, was to-
tally destroyed by fire last night. The
fire was discovered coming through the
roof on the changing-room. There were
forty men in the shaft at the time. All
escaped through the north shaft. The
calm night saved the town from total de-
struction. The timbers in the shaft are
now burning, but the underground
works are said to have been saved. Mr..
Ross, the Superintendent, says the loss
will be about $50, 900, partly insured.

blue, for if the works should not be re-
built, it will be hard blow to that pros
porous camp, and will also take away a

A Boy at San Jose Meets With a
Frightful Death.
SAN JOSE, Nov. 23.-Robert Harney,
aged Is, met with frightful accident
about five miles above Smiths Creek
Sunday. He had shot his gun and was
cleaning it preparatory to going hunting.
There being charge of powder in one
of the barrels, he undertook to get it out
in a peculiar way. He had been told
once by another boy that in case of this
kind the proper thing was to blow down
the barrel and place the tube in fire, as
the powder would then burn out through
the nipple like the lighted end of a
broken tirecracker.
Young Harney tried the experiment,
and the result was that the charge was
fired down his throat. The palate was
shattered and the muscles badly torn.
He was brought to San Jose and taken 10

ney, resides. His chances of recovery

The travels of the woodworking postal

This is the new rule, which means that
the postal authorities of the world will
not be made the butt of jokers. A pro-

enactment.
1t seems that gentleman in this city

ton on the back of it that the card had
been started around the world. After an
absence of exactly four months the card
reached the sender here, and the course
taken by it was an interesting one.
Every post Office through which the
card passed had its postmark stamped
upon it, and it bore evidence that every
post office official throughout it's entire
course who handled the card took as
much interest in the affair as did the
sender in this city. After leaving Naples
the card started across Italy to Brindisi,
thence up the Archipelago to Venice.
thence across to Constantinople, Alexan-
dria, Cairo, Suez, through the Red Sea,
Gulf of Alden and Arabian Sea to Bonn
bay, thence to Calcutta, from there down
the Bay of Bengal, up through the China
Sea to Hongkong, over to Honolulu,
and thence across the Pacific to San
Francisco, to Denver, to Philadelphia.
The entire distances travelled by the
card was between $4,000 and $4,000
miles.
So successful was the postals trip that

ency OF the worlds mails. There was a
