Lost In an Abandoned Mine.

I An old gold mine neal Georgetown,
Cal, long since deserted by it's owners,
is still visited by miners who take out
an occasional grub stake.
Henry Fraser, an old Georgetown
miner, went into the mine ten days ago
to work II claim about a mile under
ground. Ho lost his candle and matches,
and was unable to find his way among
the hundreds of passages.
For ten days he was without food.

agonies, His friends grew anxious at
his long absence and started out in
search Of him. They Immediately re-
paired to the mine and found him more
dead than alive, about a mile from thc
mouth of the tunnel.
The mine is under an old river chan
mel, and varies from 81 to 100 feet in
width. This has been all worked out.

Our First Congress.

On the first day of March, 1889, the first
Congress of the United States of Ameri,
ca began it's first session. Though we
0metimes date our national existence
from July 4th, l176, when the Declaration
or independence was promulgated to
the world, that was really only the es.
tablishment Of a ~confcdcracy of indie.
pendent states, for the single purpose
Of freeing themselves from the domino,
ton of the British Crown. Under this
compact the Revolutionary War was
fought, but after peace was gained, the
paticular interest of the separate states
began to clash, and it was evident that
the General Government needed larger
powers II the country was to amount to
anything among the peoples of the
earth. Our existence as a consolidated
and powerful nation may therefore pro-
perly be said to have begun IN 1889.
The history Of no nation can show such
a growth in lob years. And but a small
part Of our 65,0O0,OOO people would be
here were it not for railroads, for the
center Of the continent could not be
populous without them, and the bulk of
the population is in the central portion
OF the country. Foremost among these
transportation systems is The Burling-

quick and easy communications with
the east, south and southwest. For

Carried the Bonds In a Har.

State Treasurer Bobleter left st. Paul
Monday for New York. There was
nothing especially interesting in this
single statement, and only two or three
attaches OF the capitol and a vigilant re-
porter knew that the little yellow griI
which the treasurer carried in his hand
contained 81 200. 900 in bonds duly
attestcd and signed by the governor and
secretary Of the state of Minnesota, and
folded in II small package about the size
Of an ordinary law book. Rather than
trust to the uncertainty of an express
company in this age when the train
robber is abroad seeking whom he NAV

convey the precious package to its
destination, where it will be used to

fact that those issued will bear only 81,

The Future OF Natural Gas,

For three years the territory from
which natural gas has been drawn has
not been sensibly enlarged, and except
in the new fields its general use TO,
manufacturing has steadily diminished.
There certainly need be no fears that
coal mining will become a lost art. But
we are inclined to think that the pres.
ent tendency is mainly u halt or reac-
ton and that natural gas has come to
stay. Just now its uses are merely sug-
gestive OF the future.
1t brings to us fuel in the most con-
venient form-the refined essence freed
from dross, weight, impurity; self trans
porting, smokeless, an invisible potent
agent that once possessed of we cannot
well part with. If nature cannot be de-
pended upon to furnish it ready made
we must undertake to make it or some
thing nearly identical out of coal or oil.

4 DARING BANK ROBBERY,
The Burglars Blow Open the SAFES and
Get $4,000

UCoLDwATER, Mich. March 3. The
COldwater National bank was robbed
last night. The estimated loss is 500,
900. The robbers drilled the outer door
of the vault and with IA punch broke the
lock off. The middle door was secured
with "A paddock. This was probably
broken with a sledge. Inside the vault
contained one burglar proof combination
lock and also IA steel safe with IA time
lock. These were drilled and charged
it is thought with dynamite. The doors
of both safes were blown completely off,
knocking both safes down and leaving
nothing but the shell of each. The con
cussion shattered the wooden shelves in
sike the vault and scattered the contents
of the safes and shelving about the floor.
There was no one sleeping in the bank.
The discovery was made by one of the
employees on opening the bank this morn
ing. No one heard the explosion. There
is no clue to the robbers. The bank
officers offer 500 reward and the sheriff
500 additional for the apprehension and
conviction of the thieves. 1t is the most
daring robbery that has ever been COM
mitted in this city. The thieves gained
entrance to the bank building by prying
open the outside window. 1t is learned
that there were two explosions heard by
people living "A short distance from the
bank. This took place between 2:3O and
3 o'clock a. m. There was a number of
special deposits in the vault consisting
of watches and diamonds valued at about
$1,000. About 200 in gold that was
badly mutilatcd and bent out of shape
and also a large quantity Of s%ilvcrwarc
were left by the robbers.
