JOHN BURNITT'S ERROR.
He Might have had the Wealth Now Roll
ing Into n. c. Creede's Golfers.

John 2. Burnitt, one of the owners
of the rich White Hills mines, says the
San Francisco Examiner, is one of the
best known prospectors in the west.
He is abont 45 years old, and his walk,
conversation and every movement are
an advertisement to the effect that he
has all his life been delving among the
rocks and examining ore. He has
mined in many states and territories,
and on any occasion can tell stsry
that, without frills or fnishings, is in
herently interesting.
He antedates N. G. Creede, now of
the Creedc, Last Chance, Holy Moses,
and Amethyst mines, and credited
with being the founder of the BOOM
ing camp of Creede.
II was the original locator of the
Bachelor lode, now one of the famous
mines of Creede," he said yesterday.
The story of it was this: | had got
out on the wild mountains ona branch
of the Rio Grande among the big tim
ber. The timber is very big there. 1t
is all pine and very thick. One day
came across the ledge of the Bachelor
and and my two partners located it.
We also located the Amethyst. The
Bachelor we worked right along, but
the Amethyst lapsed on our hands be-
cause we did not do our assessment
work.
"One day we heard that man about
twenty-five miles over the mountains
from us had made strike and had
some good ore. We went over theie
and there we found N. G. Creede. We
looked his claims over and they didn't
meet our expectations. Why doA'i
you come over on our side of the
mountains?' l said to him. You'll
find better ore over there
well, we returned, and shortly
after l went to Harqua Hala, impelled
by the big strike we heard of there.
When got back Creede was there.
He acted on our advice, sure enough
and by locating the Holy Moses, Last
Chance, and others, and relocating the
Amethyst, had got what afterwards
proved to be great fortune.
GAS for US, we didn make any big
thing. We got $4,000 for the Bach.
elor That was all. This is another
instance of the fact that a miner may
sell out too soon. The Bachelor has
developed into great property. How
ever, in getting into the White Hills
mines we have done well, and from
other good property l know of, hope
to have an abundance of wealth."

Total. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. lSo
So far, the view is clear and easy
enough to see into; but when we turn
back again from cost to origin, and
seek to divide out the total paid for
each class of food among the various
countries that have shipped it to us,
we get into complications with which
it would be useless to attempt to strug-
ole, for an exact table of the sources
of supply of every category of article
consumed by us would fill pages with
arithmetic General indications will
serve all the purposes in view here.
The United States stand first in the
long catalogue of our purveyors, for
we spend some $47, 100000 with them
every year; while Germany, who comes
second in the list, takes only $l3, ,000,-
900 from us (two-thirds of which are
for sugar), France and Russia receive
only $40. 00) each, Austria absorbs
So, 900, 900, Denmark nearly as much,
while herd of other countries stand
in for lengthy variety of lessening
sums. Our position toward the United
States "gives to think" as the French
put it; for we are drawing from them
more than quarter in value. and
probably as much in weight, of our en-
tire food import, fact which opens
the door to eventualities that it would
be unpleasant to have to face.
We get from them (the ratios merit
to be mentioned rapidly, ,notwithstand-
ing their dryness), 27 per cent of the
wheat we buy, nearly IS per cent Of
the flour, 60 per cent of the maize,
nearly all the oatmeal, lard, and salt
beef, two-thirds of the live oxen, about
80 per cent each of the bacon and
hams, seven-eighths of the fresh beef,
45 per cent of the cheese, nearly
quarter of the salted and preserved
fish, 80 per cent Of the preserved
meats, 20 per cent of the apples, Is
per cent of the honey, and an undeter-
mined quantity of timed fruits and
vegetables. We stand toward the
| United States, as regards these sup
| plies, in position which is not merely
commercial, but which has-or may
have-a serious political aspect as
well. On the principle of forgetting
tomorrow, we are right to take our
bread and cheese and bacon wherever
we can find them cheapest; but neither
| the necessity which forces us to get
| half our nourishment from somewhere,
| nor the material advantage $50 long as
| it endures) of thinking only of to-day,
in any way obliges us to buy quarter
of that half from one single seller.

Eviction Made Easy.

A visitor to Brazil records a fact
which seems to show that in South
America, as elsewhere, one use of the
law is to increase the sum of human
ingenuity. The climate is very wet,
and sloping tile roof is in universal
use. 1t is easily put on, easily repair
ed, affords excellent shelter from the
tropical rains, and what is deemed q
capital advantage, it is easily taken
OIL. A law OF the country forbids the
eviction Of tenants for nonpayment Of
rent. When landlords patience is
exhausted, therefore, instead of warn
ing the delinquent out of the house he
takes of the roof for repairs, and the
hrst heavy shower does the rest.

'Terpichore has good job. She got
it early and she has held on to it. You

Terpsichore was out of a job and, with
eating wild huckleberries in the woods
and free lunches in the Athenian
saloons, Terpsy. old girl, was playing
in hard luck. Toward winter when
the shut the door signs began to APP
pear on the Athenian front gates, the
prospect for Terpsy was indeed a sad
one. The only thing she had in the
world was a pair of eyes glasses, a
feckle and silk robe with demi-

of the happy past when Terpsy reigned
quivering queen of lovliness in the
biggest palaces in Athens; when many
men had fallen at her feet, particularly
the Greek dudes who tripped over the

Those, We're happy, happy days for
Terpsy. There wasn't husband in
Athens or in the immediate suburbs
who did not fear for his own constancy
when Terpsichore came out decolette,
nor wife who did not burn secretly
with envy. But things had changed.
Now the proud, naughty Terpsichore
was the poor, forlorn, forsaken Terpsy,
who rushed the growler for people just
for the opportunity of nibbling at the
free lunch while the froth was being
drawn. Such, indeed, is the sad bis

Tipping in Switzerland.

AS an example of the extent to which
tipping prevails on the continent it is
interesting to learn that porters in
Swiss hotels are not only paid no
wages, but themselves pay rental to
the inn-keepers. They make their
living, and good one, exclusively
by the tips given them by guests.

Electric Locomotives.

George Westinghouse, Jr., is quoted
as follows on the subject Of electric
locomotives: "As to the operations
OF the standard 6 .uge roads by elec~
tricity in place OF the present steam
locomotive, such talk is all moon
shine. It is a question OF centralizing
the power economically. Where
anthracite coal must be burned, as
ON the New York elevated roads, it
may be found economical to use soft
coal to centralize the power. The
present locomotives have very nearly
the full efficiency of a stationary
steam boiler. Now, to put in its
place an electric motor connection by
structure with q steam plant cores
ponding to an aggregate of all your
steam boiler plants on wheels would
be really duplicating your power
equipment with but little advantage
and no economies, while there is Il re.
duced efficiency by reason of the
transmutation of the heat units from
the coal through dynamos and wires
to an electric motor on wheels. In
the present stage of electrical scie ce
talk OF the operation of standard
gauge roads throughout the country
by electric traction is wholly vision
ary."

COLUMBIA, s. C., July ga race war is
threatened at Irmo, twelve miles from here.
George Kinard, a negro, outraged Mrs. Ad-

talked of lynching him. The negroes
around Irmo are greatly excited over the
affair and gathering there. This morn
ing Lewis Brown, a negro, became very
i~nsolent and got into a. fight with S. K
Bouknight, who shot Brown through the
stomach aud he will likely die. This shoot
ing still further incensed the negroes and
there was u talk OF rescuing Kinard. The
white men of the neighborhood are collect
ing at lrmo under arms and the negroes
are also out i'll force. Trouble is feared to-

The latest advices from Irmo show an

The Potato Rot.

The potato rot fungus attacks both
the foliage and thetuber of the plants,
causing in the one case what is called
blight Of the vines and in the other
what is best known as potato rot.
The first appearance on the leaves is
seen in yellow spots and % powdery
substance on their surface. These
spots soon turn brown, and finally
the whole plant becomes infected and
dies.
If the leaf spines come in contact
with the tubers Or if the fungus reach
es them through the stems, rotting
OF the tubcrs ensues, provided there
is a continuance of warm, moist
weather, which seems to be q condi.
ton attending the prevalence of the
disease. In seasons when the atmos-
phere is cool the tops are not attack
cd, and il the soil remains cool the
tubers will often escape when the tops
are destroyed.
Unfavorable climatic conditions of
course cannot be prevented, but it
should be remembered that q loose,
light soil does not promote the decay
like one in which water is held and the
air enters with difficulty. Deeply
planted potatoes may escape, while
tubers lightly covered may more
readily contract the disease from the
vines. AS a rule potatoes should be
dug us 500 as the vines show that
they have been struck by the rot.
AS an applied preventive, some of
the experiment stations have reported
favorably on spraying the vines three
or four times with the Bordeaux
mixture. Used at half strength and
with Paris green, beginning with tho
appearance OF the potato bug, it may
be madet % servetwo purposes. Early
planting and early harvesting
are also in the line OF safety against
the potato rot.

The pronunciation, and especially

which the formidable sound was to be

trade like any man: She naturally
chooses the sort of work according to
her strength. At present she is MAX
ing g speciality OF iron brackets,

she hopes to accomplish is q
school and shop of ornamental
wrought iron for women believing
that for the work in wrought iron now
in vogue women might have q special
aptitude. This has q delicacy akin
to that Of jewelers. work. One OF the
prettlest fantasies in wrought iron is
a bell and a bell pull in William ID.
Salcne's country house at Lenox.
The bell hangs outside OF his study
door, which is IN a separate wing.
The bell is wreathed with roses, and
a garland that has broken loose and
hangs down in leaves and blossoms

there is no reason why fancy could
not take so graceful q form in
