explosion last Tuesday morning.
Several holes had been put in on
Monday evening, and fired when
the men quit work. Upon going
to work Tuesday morning Andrews
saw that one of the shots had missed
fire. He pulled out the fuse and
with it the cap and a stick of pow
der. He then picked up the iron
scraper used for cleaning out the
holes and let it slide into the hole
of its own weight. Instantly a
stream of fire shot up in the dark
ness, followed by a terrific explosion
and Andrews body, horribly man.
gled, was picked up from amongst
the debris. His left arm from the
elbow down was blown away, leav-
ing only strings of flesh or cords.
His left shoulder and chest were
terribly lacerated and his face badly
cut and burned. He breathed a few
times and seemed to try to speak,
but death was almost instantane-
ous.-Mr. Burns, usually called
Scotty, had both of his hands blown

Messenger, Custer, Feb. 26: The
body of John Milliken was found
dead, buried in a snow-slide, in the
gulch back of the Custer Mill, and
about a quarter of mile above the
mill. Milliken had been missing
from Custer since the 18th of this
month; but no great anxiety was
felt about him for it was known
that he started tor Custer Noun
tain and it was supposed he had
made his way up to some cabin on
the mountain, but when it was as.
certained by persons coming down
from Custer Mountain that he had
not been seen there, a search was
made for him some days ago, but
was unsuccessful. Another search
was made to-day by about twenty
of our citizens and his body was
found.-Little Willie, youngest

MISS KATE TAaUE received tel
egram yesterday evening from her
brother, Thomas, informing her Of
the death, at Fulton, Missouri, of
her beloved mother. She died on
the 9Th at the advanced age of "A
years. A telegram was received by
Miss Kate and Thomas Tague,
about ten days ago, informing them
of their mothers serious illness.
Mr.. Tague left for Fulton immedi-
ately upon receipt of the telegram,
but owing to the severe storm .ilat
was raging at the time Miss Kate
did not accompany him. Mr..
Tague arrived at his mothers home
before the terrible, but not unex-
pected, catastrophe came. A CO.
incidence attaches to this death
making one home in Ketchum
doubly sad. 1t is that Mrs. Baxter
and Miss Kate Tague are devoted
friends, and the latter is living with
the former in the same house, and
the deaths of each of their mothers
took place within five days of each
other, Mrs. Tague dying on Mrs.
Averill's birthday.

fessionally and has his Office at the Cliff

S. S. STINsoN, who has been q
resident of the east fork Of Wood
river for some years, died at Salt
Lake on the Goth of February of ma
lignant tumor. About three weeks
before his death Mr.. Stinson went
to Salt Lake for treatment, and
surgeons there performed an opera
ton involving the removal one-half
of his jawbone; but, as they had
previously advised him, it was With
out good effects, and he died as
stated. Mr.. Stinson was 49er, and
like many of his class had wandered
over the mining regions of the coast
from that date till his death, accu-
mulating little or nothing. He
leaves a wife and seven children
who still reside on East Fork. Mr..
Stinson's death removes another of
the devoted little band who AZ years
ago penetrated the terra incognito
of the Golden West, and opened for
the first time the startling marvels
of it's fabulous wealth to the in
credulous gaze of an astonished
world. He has reached the haven
that soon will hold the last of his
comrades in that widest and grand
est of all adventures, and like those
who have preceded him, will soon be
forgotten, but the romance of their
lives, the reality of their achieve
ment will live forever. These are
part of our country as well as OF
| it's history.

\ nfg Salmon Crop.

This is Il great year for big crops
Now it is the salmon crop that exceeds
anything in the history of the country.
Puget Sound is reported to be so filed
with salmon, making their annual run
to the sound shores and the fresh water
streams for feeding and spawning, that
the steamboats, seem to be floating on a
solid mass of fish The paddles kill
hundreds of them and are choked with
their bodies. The sound steamer cap
tains describe the run as an unbroken
string of salmon thirty miles long, the
water for that distance being fairly alive
with them.
Neither the Oldest inhabitants nor the
aged Indians remember such "a big salmon
run. The result of the enormous run is
big reduction in prices: Usually good
salmon sell for ten to twenty five cents
apiece, but now at one cent. each the
market is glutted with the finest quality
of fish At Port Williams few days
ago two casts of seine netted over
5000 fine salmon. Everybody is fishing.

A wonderful mineral Substance.

A new mineral substance, resembling
asphalt, has been discovered in Texas,
which promises to become very useful
to the scientific and industrial world. 1t
is unaffected by heat, acid or alkalies.
and is said to be the most perfect in
sulator yet discovered. 1t may be used
for paint and is perfect covering for
wood or iron, resisting all the influences
which destroy ordinary paints. AS a
varnish it retains its character under all
conditions. 1t may be rolled into tissue
and used for waterproof tents, clothing,
etc.: it makes leather impervious to
water and prevents iron and steel from
rusting.
Professor Hamilton, of the Western
Electric company, finds that wires COW
cred with this substance offer sevenfold
the resistance offered by other wires,
and the results of its use in electrical
engineering are likely to be very marked.
The material is found in unlimited guam
titles, from two to forty feet below the
surface, and if it proves as useful as il
promises will be a new source of wealth
to Texas.-Boston Transcript

But arrogance of heart he never had. In
sympathies and manner of life he re-
manned to the end much of the simple
peasant: Seldom year passed, of the
eighty-five that he lived. that he did not
spend month or two among the Scotch
heaths and peat bogs in or near his
humble boyhood home.
There, nearer than anywhere else, his
restless soul came to the attainment of
that peace and composure which it was
quite capable of nowhere To the end
his own poor, toiling, uneducated kins-
men continued the dearest people on
earth to him. and rarely came payment
from editor or publisher that, whatever
his own necessities, he did not share it

the closer. .-E. e. Martin in Scribner's
