I AFRICAN GOLD FIELDS.
Mr.. Reginald Frost, son Of Gen.
D Nj. Flest, has returned to st.

years hunting and exploring in
Africa, principally sloag the Zsm-
ber' river. "In ths eastern sectlon
OF this lower coast below the Zam-
bsxi, in What is kRewa as Mashopt :

aad has now three good towns with
ssms 1900 to 1000 Inhabitants
in each. Fort Salisbury, Fort Vic
toria and Untali have hotels and
are liz direct communication with
the Cape Colonies. A railroad "a
narrow gaugs-is being built from
Bira on the eastern coast to Una
tall, Bra has two steamship lines,
oas going to EaglaHd by the cape,
the other by the Susz canal. The
road will be two miles in length.
AT present all supplies have bean
bfsught from Kimberly, distance
OF 400 miles "This 10 & great
gold country" said Mr.. Frost, "and

There are fully 5000 white people
in it, and as soon as the railroad

right Of ownership to ons-half the

THE BRUTALITY OF SCIENCE

THE BRUTALITY OF SCIENCk
Alsuqusrqus Ti~os.
Among the disgusting particulars
Of the carving up of Carlyle Har-
ris' body that newspaper CORES

this ghoulish statement: "Harris'
skull, which had bees sawed off by
Drs. Shsshan and Pyne, was used
to dip the fluid from the thorA1 to
pail on the q Jor."
Either corrSsposdenw should
be risidly excluded from such
barbsric exhibitions, sr doctors
should be compelled, by the law,
to be humsuly deeeHt. No matter
what tho young mans crimes aay
have bsen, there was no demand
frox science that his chsrrsd body
should be hacked and gagged and
dis6gursd ts bs sent back to his
poor mothsr. That mother who
proudly said to him while her
heart was breaking, Il thanked
God was Carlyle Harris mother
and could say what few mothers
san say, that in his twenty-thrss
years OF life he had not given me
oas sskind word or aver aisobeysd
an expressed command. We agreed
that Gods wsrd must be bsst."

BURNS ON H[LLSBORO.

Santa Fe New Mexican.
Hsn. Wm. Burns Of Sierra csun'
ty, was a pleasant caller at tAs
Nav Mexican Office last svesint
and hs said mach ABOUT the pros
psrity prevailing in the Hillsborc
mining district. At present sslas
800 msn are employed there fol
wages. Feur mills and the GALES
snsltsr are under full headway
Tbs ore from the mines is free mil
liag, hsncs the popularity Of the
district. Probably 200 men at work
oa their own claims, and chatactsr
of the ore ls suck that, in the de-
vslopmsnt, srs enough is taken cut
to give than a living and pay for
the work; this ID feature that will
suggest to all mining man the sup
sriority OF this camp. There are
great chances thsrsabouts fer men
with small capital. Men with $500
to $4,000 can get into properties
that will realize for them fortunes.
The thrss principal col operations
there ara the Standard company,
tho American company and the
Coed Hope BonaRz& syndicate.
The two former are managed by
Hon. n. Gallas, also the smeltsr,
and are doing well. Mr.. r. q.
Trosgsr, Of The Good Hope Bonanza,
employs forty msn, and lis paying
regular dividends, the mines hsv-
ing yielded gold from grass roots
down.
The placer fslds, two miles from
Hillsboro, are being actively work
cd although water must be convey
cd thereon to make them big pay.
Judge Springer, late second vics-
president OF the A., T. & s. +. com
pany, was thsre last week and his
company is runsing surveys for
Pipe lins to convey wstsr from the
Animss river, three and q half
miles distant, to these plaeers. Tho
saad is full Of gold, often yislsiRg
Nuggets worth from So to $40. 1t
costs 50 to get barrel of water on
these gravel beds at present, but
once there this water is worth all
the way from S25 TO 500, for 1t
will wash out that nuch gold.
Judge Burns says Hillsboro il
steadily building up, and promises
to continue as now, one OF tue bast
gold camps in the country.

THE DAMAGE SUIT
OF DIR. S. Burg Tried by Justice
Adams-The Verdict.

In Justice Adams court this
morning a civil damage suit was
tried, in which DR.. S. Burg brought
suit against H. Culey, milkman,
for damages sustained. He claimed
damages to the amount of 500 on
the vehicle and 800 personal in
juries. The suit resulted from a
collision in which Culey's team ran
into DIR. Burg's buggy on South
Alamo street last March. The
jury, after hearing both sides of
the case, returned verdict for $l4
damages for plaintiff.
Culey previously pleaded guilty
in the recorders court on the
charge of leaving team alone,
which was the origin of the above
damage suit.
