AN lNDE6TRUcTlBLE TOOTH.
A Wonderful Story That Is Told of u
Japanese Palace.

n wonderful story That Is Told of -
Japanese Palace.
Several long articles, if not whole
volumes, could be written under the
general title of "Curiosities About
Teeth" At Yakadama, Japan, there is
q costly temple built for the sole pur-
pose of affording shelter for one of
the grinders of an ancient god of q
certain Hindoo sect. This palace is
known by the high sounding title of
The Palace of the Sacred Tooth, and
is a costly and elegant structure in
every sense of the word.
According to the mythology of India
the god who formerly owned the tooth
pulled it out to hurl it at a gigantic
cobra, when the irreverent serpent had
been SO indiscreet as to make an attack
upon his godship.
In the latter part of the last century
Europeans captured Yakadama and par
TALLY destroyed the tooth palace The
tooth itself, which had been an object
of heather alteration for centuries, was
ground to powder and thrown in the
river.
But the particles came together, so
the Hindoo priests say, and again
formed themselves into perfect tooth,
which was found after the seige quietly
reposing in the bed of the stream.
The temple has been rebuilt, and the
tooth, more revered than ever since the
attempted destruction, is again en-
shrined as an object for alteration. 1t
is kept in gold box, wrapped in films
from the sacred white spiders web, the
first gold box being in eight others of
the same precious metal.

"A Million Dollars is Enough"

Tive got a plan for dealing with the
concentration of wealth in this coun-
try. said J. B. Whitney, who repre-
sents the Rockford Silver Plate Com
pany, to a st. Louis Globe Democrat
reporter. Il take it for granted every
body except those who have got the
money feels that the rapid accumula-
ton of millions in the hands of a few
men is bad thing for us. For myself,
l look upon it as the greatest danger
which threatens our future. Our laws
prevent entailing these great fortunes,
it is true, but the millionaires find a,
way of holding them together and Of
perpetuating and increasing their power.
Take, for example, the way in which
the Vanderbilt interest is held and
handed down from generation to genera
ton. See how the Astor property has
been kept together until it has reached
enormous proportions. 1t is contrary
to the spirit of our republican institrl.
tions, and in my opinion we are very
near the time when we will have to
adopt some means to counterfeit this
Capitalization. Confscation will not do.
We can't set limit on the means which
man may acquire legitimately in his life
time That would be an infringement
on personal liberty. But we can make
laws to regulate the disposition of an
estate. Now. my plan is to put limit
on the amount of money which man
of wealth can leave after his death to
any one individual. Ipropose a law by
which all of an estate, no matter how
large, may be willed away by the tes-
tator, but it must be so divided among
individuals that no one of them shall
receive more than 81, 900, 000 Popular
sentiment, I take it, will accept that
figure as O sufficient amount for any
heir. For myself, I think that $780,
900 is enough, but am willing to make
it 81, 100000 to meet the objections of
the millionaires. The rich man, under
the law I suggest can dispose of every
dollar he has got to his relatives. The
law will only put an outside limit on
the division of the estate. We already
prohibit the entail of an estate; it is
but step further, and righteous step,
as I believe, to provide that single in
heritances shall not exceed 81, 100000.
To make the law effective, would pro-
vide that if man wills more than
100000 to any one heir the excess
shalt be forfeited to the State, OF, if
there is no will, the excess, after the
distribution of 1,000,0 600 to each of
the immediate heirs, shall go to the
State. There have been many reme-
lies suggested to stop this centraliza
lion Of wealth, hut I never heard of
any which seemed so fair as this.

A Great Mine.

In an article on copper in the Min ing and Engineering Journal We find that the Copper Queen Co of Bisbee produced in the four years ending January 1st,' 1892, the enormous amount of 37 ,552,771 pounds of cop per. In the year 1891 the product was the greatest, and reached 10, 0,5OO,- GOO pounds. The writer credits the Queen company with having paid $S15 ,OOO Tn dividends, and the cost of producing copper at IO.6 cents per pound. In the cost of producing this amount of copper is figured the cost of building railroad and other ex- tenslve improvements above ground. The total value of the production for four years amounts to $4,O06, ,s6O.

Senator Proctor has introduced a bill to carry out the policy begun by him as secretary of war to enlist In dians in tine army as part of the reg ular force. It authorizes the enlist ment of 3000 Indians under the same conditions that govern the enlistment of other persons to be formed into troops of cavalry and companies or infantry. The strength of the army IS to be increased to this extent.
 There will be no trial or grand jury called at the ensuing term of court unless the indge so directs after his arrival. There are several prisoners in the county jail awaiting the action of a grand jury, and if they are not brought before the jury at this term they will not be before May next. By the Tucson papers is gleaned that the judge has set the regular term in Pima for Feb 23d, so he cannot ex. pect to hold long term here.

A CANARD.
The New York Press ExUoses that ''Important Bill''
 Business,

. The article credited to the New
 York Press, going the rounds of the
 papers, in which it IS alleged that un-
 favorable action has been taken in the New York Legislature against the Royal Baking Powder, proves to have been a canard, gotten up and circula- ted by opposition baking powder makers,fo purposes quite apparent to everyone.
 The New York Press, in exposing the fraud. says: "No such legislation as that stated in this article has ever been had in this state, or in anylegis- lation to our knowledge" The lie is made from whole cloth. The Press disclaims any responsibility for the and objects to being made a party to such methods adopted by some baking powder manufacturers in their efforts to substitute their goods for others now in use.

CREEDE CAMP.
The Latest Excitement in Colorado. and
 What It Amounts to.

A responsible mining man who has been visiting Creede camp, gives the Georgetown Couri a few items re- gsrding the ore of that district. The pay rock, he says, is decomposed, and its principal silver value is in the form of sulphurets, which occurs as a super. ficial coating on quartz and decom- posed minerals, and much of it resem- bles to Il remarkable degree the surface ores from the Georgetown mines. Much of the quartz has the deep purple color of the amethyst. There is also considerable white tale. A brownish black riable mineral, prob ably the oxide of magnesia, contained 234 ozs silver per ton, and white mineral, consisting in part of sulphate of lead, carries 556 ounces of silver and P per cent. of lead.
 But one lode yet discovered shows any considerable quantity of galena, but it is highly probable that in depth all of the veins wi be found galena bearing.
 The shaft on the Last Chance mine, which is probably the deepes. in the camp, is no feet. The vein averages about five feet in width, the entire contents of which is shipped without sorting, and mills little more than 100 ounces of silver to the ton. The mine ships about.75 tons day, Six | claims are being worked in the camp and produce about 130 tons per day The country rock is said to be lime stone, through which are numerou. dikes of porphyry. The mineral veins are found alongside the dikes. There are at present about 1.OOC
 people in the camp, 200 of whom ar, | carpenters. Within the past sixty i days about 300 buildings have beer \ erected.

SILVER has struck S94 and the gov ernment still continues to strike of silver dollars with about II cents worth of silver in them. If this is not free coinage, what is it? The sonly draw back to this style of free coinage iF that the government makes the profit instead of the people. The man who thinks Uncle Sam is not in the free coinage business right now, does not knew what he is talking about He simply pays us S9 cents per ounce and sells it back to us at 1929.

THE free colnage of silver is the simplest question on earth to under stand and 1t Is nor-;larei th~ -,.s-<
 .-~-- Iu. rne reason that it's real merits are not discussed by those op- posed to it. It is simply this: The government places the value on the ounce of silver at 1929 and pays that price for all that is offered. paying for 1t Tn silver dollars. There is no such thing as a man taking silver to the mint and getting it coined to dollars without the price being fixed at 2929 The idea of saying that free coinage Will not bring silver up to I.2929 is ridlcuious. The price of an ounce of silver must be fixed at 1929 befor free coinage can exist.

HOW THEY VOTED.

WAsHINGToN-It has leaked out that there was strong fight made in committee against Bland's bill. Five distinct propositions were offered by anti-unlimited free coinage men, but were all defeated. These were taken into international monetary confer ence but should be reported so that the standard dollar should consist of an ounce of silver, that it should con- sist of 535B grains instead of 4121 grains, that free coinage should be restricted to the American product and that there should be stricken from the bill the clause making gold and silver coins legal tender in pay ment of all debts, public and private.
 The weakest of these propositions was that relating to the American product, which found only two sup porters, Messrs. Stone and Joh nson, and eleven opponents,
