An Oregon Breathing Wen.

The well is one and a quarter miles
east of Stanwood, on the high land, near
ly $50 feet above sea level Its owner,
o. w. Coltom, began digging it last June,
but abandoned it various times because
Of gas or fredamp. He succeeded in
reaching an abundance of good water at
a depth of ninety feet from the surface
last October, having passed through sue
cessive layers of clay, sand and some
kind of stratifed rock. About eighty
feet below the surface he found a sprink-
ling of anthracite coal, and still farther
down large quantities of loose speci-
mems of volcanic stones of several Kinds,
many of which have the appearance of
having been melted and run toget ner.
About the close of October Mr.. Coltom
noticed that the well was BLOWN: out a
kind of gas with considerable for, e, and
at irregular periods of time, varying
from five days to sixteen hours do -ation.
1t would reverse the operations and be-
gin to draw in the air with equal force,
the inhalations lasting about as long a
time as the calculations. Shortly after
the gas disappeared, but the respiration
of air continued with increasing force,
until at the present time it has sufficient
force to drive a large windmill. Not
long since Mr.. Coltom went down into
the well and discovered that the air was
being drawn in and blown out at a point
fifteen feet from the bottom of the well.
1t is supposed that there must be large
cavern at distance from the well, and
the air comes through a small passage
leading from the cavern to the well. No
cavern or passage has yet been found,
as the well is walled up, and the air
comes through the rocks in the WELL

Returns are in from most of the vot-

suit will not be known until the vois is
canvassed by the Board Of SUI ervisors
on the 18th inst. The day passed so
quietly in Globe, with scarcely any Of
the features which usually mark an
election contest that there was general
expression of surprise at the size of the
vote polled in this precinct-222. San
Carlos and Richmond Basin also cast a
large vote. The vote at Payson as re-
ported by letter from Sheriff Thompson

ed insure the election Of Alonzo Bailey

Another substantial improvement was
be gun this week-a new store building
TO +. w. WesImeyer, adjoining his pre-
sent premises. The structure will have
u frontage Of 20 feet on Broad street
f.nd run back 81 feet to an adobe store
mouse. The front will be built Of brick,
the side walls of adobe, with stone
foundation and rooted with iron. Wide
doOrways will connect the old room with
the new, thus making it virtually one
large store fronting fifty feet on Broad
street. and it will be one of the most
commOdiOus and convenient places of
business in Globe. The way Globe mer-
chants are branching out is evidence not
only of expanding business but conf
dence IN the future Of the camp.

Biblical Discoveries Of Grea. interest.


A lecture of the greatest interest, not
only to orientalists, but likewise to all
interested in Biblical research, has Just
been delivered at the Vere;n Giederwald
of Vienna by that most distinguished
orientialist and linguistic scholar, the
Rev. William Hechler, captain to the
British embassy.
Ever since his student days ne has been
seeking for the key to harmonic the
dates of the kings of Judah and Israel
given in the Bible, and the dates of the
kings of Babylon, Assyria, Egypt and
Persia. AS he observed in the course of
his lecture: whoever has carefully
studied the histories of the ancient en-
pires must be struck with the wonder
fully truthlike appearance of the chron-
illogical and syncronistic data. No his
torian has ever ventured to give such a
large number of dates as the Bible,
which are made to synchronize with the
dates of kings of other nations, thereby
enabling accurate control. Thus the
kings of Judah are made to synchronize
with the kings of Israel, and many of
Babylon, Assyria, Egypt and Persia"
At the last orientalistS congress in
Vienna the learned gentleman presented
the first part Of his researches, extending
over twenty years. No doubt his charts,
when published, will startle many pro-
fessor of theology all over the world
at least such rs have taught their pupils
that it was impossible to put in order
and harmonic these confused dates.
Mr.. Hechler proves that they do har-
monte, and that in a most wonderful
manner, but the key had to be sought
and found. He does not profess to have
united the Gordian knot and to have
of every difficulty, but the re-
clear and ingenious way in
which he puts an end to Biblical dis
is convincing and conclusive.
The charts are so simple and comprehen-
sible that child may read them.-Vi-

FROM SAN PEDRO.
Smiling Eanohers Reyortsd-More
Stock for Sa

Smiling ranchers are now found
throughout the length and breadth of
Sen Pedro valley, resultant from the
large shipments of stock from there for
the last two weeks, where an exodus of
5000 head of cattle has been in progress,
at prices satisfactory, though not the
highest neither the lowest By a censid
cradle.
The stock, as CITIZEN readers know.
were for MIR, Holt the Montana buyer,
The prices paid were Sl1 for 2 year
Odds, Sl4 for year olds and 50 for a
small number of yearlings. The princi-
pal sales were: d. Markham, 400 head:
Mr.. Roark, $50 head; E. q. Stratton,
80 head; San Pedro Land and Cattle
Co., 1000 head and Mr.. Crowley, 300
head. The stock was mainly feeders in
good condition, the whole making a
shipment highly creditable TO the Terri
tory. The shipping Of cattle is still in
progress, and rapidly completing. The
immense output of stock will hardly be
missed by the ranchers, and plenty
more salable stock is yet in the valley.
The estimate of sale is placed at one
tenth. -.
The range is looking bright and green
and is constantly improving. In the
last two days heavy rains have fallen
greatly improving the feed. On Thursi-
day hail storm of considerable violence
fell in the neighborhood of Redington.
Grain harvest is in progress and tn at

most the total acreage of the valley
washed out by the flood is being planted
in corn.

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.
a Young Man of the "Fakir" Com
pany Drowned this Morning.

This morning at $50 o'clock man OF
about 26 drove up to the Silver Lake
hotel and hired a set of fishing tackle.
1t was noticed that he had been
drinking but little was thought Of him
for some time. When his clothes were
seen hanging on limb on the bank or
the D. nd below the lake nothing was
remarked until an hour or more passed,
the clothes remaining untouched. Know
ing something was wrong investigation
followed. On the ground near the
clothes lay 81 revolver, every chamber
loaded. The clothes were unmoiested
and were apparently hung to dry, being
muddy from where their owner had slip
ped and fallen. The fish pole was near by.
Nothing WIS seen of tie young man and
edge of the water, Here the pond Was
dragged, and q Mexican named Rodriges
found the body. 1t was in seven feet of
water and on mud bottom. The hands
were over the breast, clinched, and the
teeth tightly closed. On the right eye
was bruise evidently made by the rake
IN dragging for the body.
1t was removed to the bath house
ard a cororer's jury summoned. In
vestigation in his effects showed his
name to be William j. Howes. He was
property agent of the "F'aklr" company,
and his home is in Chicago. A diamond
ring, a diamond pin, silver watch and
chain, railroad ticket to any point on
the Southern Pacific and q purse con-
tanning s2.75 and various papers were
found in his pockets.
He had evidently be 81 fishing and |
muddied his clothes ami removed them |
that they might dry better, going into
the water where he drowned. The |
opinion generally expressed is that the |
drowning was accidental.
There was no doubt as to bis being dead |
having lain in the water from 9 to 1880 |
when found, and no efforts at resucita-
ton were made.
To the present writing the disposition |
OF the remains ls not decided on.
