THE PROSPECT Finished.
B. B. |. Co. Satisfied with its Coal
Finds and Stops Boring.
STRUCK THE BIG VEIN AGAIN
The Diamond Drill and It's Crew
to be Moved TO Black
Diamond.

X. Il. Symington, mining engineer OF
the b. b. L. Co., who for the past l6
months has been making a thorough
and systematic prospect for coal on the
company's lands north of New What
com, has completed his work, strik-
ing the l5-foot vein again i'm the 18th
and last hole last Saturday evening at
a depth of Asa feet below the surface.
This hole was sunk with the intention
of striking the vein further down on
the dip to ascertain its pitch. The hole
was started about 1900 feet in from the
line of the crop. 1t will be remem-
bered that in one whole the vein was
struck exactly at the crop at a depth
Of 226 feet. The last strike indicates
that the coal is in a fiat vein, thelpitch
not exceeding 10 degrees. 1t is not
necessary to make any further prospect
of this vein and Mr.. Symington is now
preparing to move the drill and entire
crew to Black Diamond to make some
prospects there. He will leave here to-
morrow. He expects to return in the
not distant future to open up the vein
he has discovered.
The existence of the vast hidden
wealth revealed by the prospect justi-
fies the enormous outlay made by the
company to secure it. Mr.. Synmington
estimates the area of the vein at not
less than 1000 acres and its quantity at
not less than 10000, 900 tons.
He commenced the work in October,
1891, his object being TO find the vein OF
the old SehOme mine. He worked ten
months without striking anything, but
since the first discovery he has put two
holes per month through the vein with
surprising regularity. During this time
he has drilled over 1000 feet.

BOLD ATTEMPT At ARSON
DaStardly Effort to Burn a Seattle
Boarding House
oHIo'S FINANCIAL PROBLEM
Republican Senator for North DAKOTA

oHIo's FINANCIAL PROBLEM

SEATTLE, January ga bold attempt
to fire the boarding house at 1905
Seventh street, near the corner of Mad
ison, was frustrated this morning in
the very nick of time. A few mo-
ments more and the whole place
would have been in flames with many
lives endangered and the chances OF
the boarders escape very narrow.
One of the lady boarders awoke at
4:40 this morning to find her room
filled with smoke. She aroused her
husband and telephone alarm was
sent in to the fire headquarters two
blocks away. The department respond
ed and found the fire in the basement.
In the center Of the floor a number OF
trunks saturated with kerosene were
piled up surmounted by a sofa. In the
center was can Of kerosene in a box
which was burning. In another part
of the room was another can of oil al
most red hot. In a few seconds they
would have exploded, vent holes in the
top was all that had prevented an ex.
plOsion. Whoever set the fire, it was
cold-blooded attempt, and only by an
accident was great loss of life pre-
vented.

Casey to Succeed Himself

BIsMARCK, n. D., Jan. 3-The chief
interest in the session of the North
Dakota legislature, which convened to-
day, centers in the contest for sue
cessor to United States Senator Casey.
The Republicans have a clear majority
and the election hinges on the decision
of the party caucus. 1t is alleged that
some of them made overtures to the
Democrats and called attention of the
matter to Cleveland. The latter, 1t is
said, refused to have anything to do
with it, saying that the party could not
afford to run the risk of being charged
with corruption, and advising the cleo
ton of as clean a Republican as posi-
BILE. 1t seems likely that Casey will be
elected in the end.

Contagion Among Arkansas oonvicts

among OOnVlCLH
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 3-No new
cases at the penitentiary and dozen
patients are discharged from the hospi-
tai. The mayor considered the advisa-
bility of notifying the convict lessees
that he would arrest all convicts sent
to work on the city streets but a con-
sultation of physicians decided there
was no danger of contagion from the
cholera patients at the penitentiary and
the mayor withheld his proclamation
temporarily. The convict lessees say
they have right to put men on the
streets in defiance of the mayors or
ders and will continue to do, so. The
mayor insists that he will march at the
head of his entire police force and ar
rest every convict on the streets if nee
essary to protect the city. The last
two convicts who died Sunday night
remained in the prison deadhouse till
last evening on account of the arrest Of
the prison officers on Saturday for
burying convicts inside the city limits.
They were finally buried in the Pot
ter's field, Oakland cemetery. Further
trouble Is expected from this.

OUR GREETING.

OUR GREETING.
AS it is generally conceived, every
book of any consequence SHOULD
havea preface. Likewise, the initial
number of a newspaper is not COM
plete without a salutatory. There
is the difference, however, that a
q preface is ordinarily written after
the book is finished, and the writer
can measure his claims by his work
and tell definitely what he has at
tempted to do. The salutatorian
has the untitled field Of Journalistic
possibility still before him, and has
to content himself with a statement
Of what he hopes to do. This, then,
be the endeavor Of THE JEWISH
SOUTH"
1t does not presume to say that
it is going to fill a long-felt want,
but it does claim, that there being
only one Jewish newspaper south
of the Mason and Dixon line, there
is room for another. That room it
hopes to occupy and to become the
welcome visitor in thousands OF
homessof the intelligent Jews OF the
South. There is ever profound
need of a journal, even here in
America, to defend Judaism against
silly, and often dangerous charges,
conceived in ignorance, born in big
otry, and fostered with unreason-
mo malevolence, that are too ire.

swered, because of the unwilling

take up the lance.
There is, also, always need of q

low-countrymen become Christians.
It is also said they have been quite
successful" We sincerely trust
that these statements are untrue,
but if they are not, we can but con-
sole ourselves with the thought
that men who on SO slight a provo
cation degenerate into renegades
and apostates, would scarcely, un-
der the best conditions, rehectcredi
upon Judaism.
WHILE on the subject we can but
remember the action of our lament
ed DIR. Harris in this direction
By order of the Episcopal Bish-
op a day was set apart upon which
prayer was to be offered in all the
churches in the diocese for the con
version of the Jews. In an "open
letter" to the Bishop, published at
the time in a local daily, DIR. Harris
expressed his thanks for the distin-
guished consideration, but declared
there was no desire whatsoever on
the part Of the Jews for conversion
as they were very well satisfied with
their condition.
INDEED, it is almost impossible to
regard the matter seriously when
we reflect how little our faith has
suffered in this direction. Even when
effected, conversions so-called sig
Nifty but little All of us probably
remember the story of the CONVEX
sion of the young Jewish student at
|, Oxford. So proud was the society
/ who wrought the wonder Of it's la
: bors, that a special public meeting
was had, that the thoroughness of
: their handiwork might be demon
y strated. The affair came off on q
Saturday. After certain prelimina-
ries a curtain was thrown back

AS TO JEWISH CONVERTS.


THE apocryphal tradition as to
the Jews love of money is hardly
borne out by the statistics in Eng
land. During the past year the So
ciety having for its object the con-
version of our British co-religionists
succeeded they claim in twelve cases.
The average cost per capita was
something over SIS, 900. Aseleven
of the converts so-called were un-
der the age of twenty-one, it would
seem that the affection for "the
root" entertained by the Jewish
adult is hardly SO strong as is gen.
orally attributed.
Nor so satisfactory are the re-
ports we hear of conversions on
this side of the water. If these
be true, men reared in Russia as
rabbis are now in the employ OF
Missions in New York, and are en-
deavoring to have their Jewish fel-
