A Rock Salt Quarry.

Up to few years ago it was sup
posed that the only rock salt in the
United States was that found in West
Virginia. There is mountain of it
in San Pete county, Utah, from which
last year 100 carloads were shipped
outside the territory, and 80 carloads
to Utah points. 1t is in Salt Greek
Canyon, six miles east of Nephi. The
mine has face of 100 feet of solid
salt, and is quarried the same as stone.
A single blast often produces 10 tons
in Jumps of 10 to 800 pounds.
This rock salt is shipped to Butte.
Helena and to points in Nevada and
Colorado. 1t is used in the mines for
fiuxing and on the cattle ranges as
lick. At Sslina,. in Sewer county,
there are also works Of some magni-
tude. --lSt. Louis Republic.

Arizona is plentifully sprinkled
with the ruins of strange habitations.
Most of them are constructed of con-
crete or adobe, and the mystery about
them is the identity of the people who
designed them. How they could be
built is not a matter of conjecture, as
the materials are close at hand. But
there is one ruin, although still in a
good state of preservation, which is a
mystery, no matter in what light it is
considered
It is in the Huachuda Mountains,
not far from the military reservation,
in northeasterly direction. Nothing
is known of its origin, and the won
derful part is the material of which it
is constructed It is about 200 miles
from the ocean and surrounded on all
sides by hills of sand and rocks cover
ed with cacti There is no water for
miles, except the excuses for rivers
that run during the rainy season.
There is not even the suggestion of
water, and yet the house is built of
seashells laid in sort of cement.
Where the shells were obtained is a
mystery that may never be solved.
It does not seem possible that the
builder of the house would carry the
material over hundreds of miles of
desert when there were plenty of
rocks near by that would answer the
purpose Just as well, even though they
were not so unique. The house is
built h the shape of the straw huts of
the Papago Indians, and is about the
same size. There is room inside for
five or six persons, but at present no.
body occupies it, except, perhaps,
some prospector who uses it for tenn
porary shelter in cold weather. There
are dozen varieties OF shells in the
walls, and one over the door is of ex-
traordinary size.
The age of the building will never
be known, but there is little doubt that
it is as old as the Oldest in the Terri
tory San Francisco Call.

Begging as q Fine Art.

I think the usual wage for diligent
begging in Germany is between one
mark fifty and four marks. in addition
to the three meals OF course there
are few who are much more success
full. One fellow at the Herberge, for
instance, who had been in England and
could speak English quite well, claimed
that he begged forty marks in one
week last winter from the Americans
in Dresden. Another vagrant told .
story of man he had met in south
Germany on the road with two hun-
dred marks in his pocket, which he
had collected in two weeks il Munich.

The cat that owned the false teeth
had lost his own, and had his jaw
broken besides by drunken wretch
who beat him with cobble stone-
With great care the poor animal final
Iy recovered; but he had to be fed
with little milk in spoon for long
time. When able to pursue his ordi-
nary business of catching rats and
mice, he could not eat them, because
he had no teeth to chew with Some
thing must be done for him, for his
life supported on spoon vittles" was
a burden and a young dentist In the
neighborhood, who had become great
ly interested in the unfortunate cat,
resolved to try the experiment OF max

was nothing to what followed when the
teeth were fairly In. II the animal

plate was being fitted, he acted like
mad thing when it was firmly attached
to his jaw although it was well made,
and fitted perfectly. He could not
understand that it would enable him
to continue the Injurious feasts to
which he had been accustomed; and
for several days he was furious over it.
Every possible and impossible scheme
was tried to get the uncomfortable
thing out of his mouth; he tore at it
with his claws, he shook his head vio-
lently to make it drop out, he butted
against heavy pieces of furniture, and
if any one came near him, he growled
and scratched at them.
There seemed to he danger of his go

RESOURCES OF ALASKA.
Interesting Facts From a Census
Agents Report.


Charles H. Isham, Deputy Collector o:
Customs of Alaska, who was assigned as
census agent, to the duty OF preparing sta
tistical data of the Territory, arrived at Port
Townsend, Washington, from Sitka tho other
day, and gave osit some information con-
cerning the resources OF Alaska which has
not been published before He estimates the
annual gold product at about 81 ,000, coo.
Miners who ascend the Y-lkon River in the
spring usually return with from $4,000 to
10000 in gold dust, and about 9700, 900 in
gold Is taken out annually by the TreadweH
mines. For the year ending June 80, 1898,
113 vessels entered from foreign ports, and
ITO cleared; coastwise vessels, eighty-hye
and eighty-nine. In the district there are
tifty-fve vessels documented. The value OF
domestic exports to foreign countries was
S148l1 and foreign goods exported TO
foreign countries, 5000, making total OF
81, $751; The valuation Of the imports for
the same time was about $50, 900. The Gus

81, ,769. 81, but the expenses or collection
In the customs district of Alaska there are

Mr.. Isham says HThe canaeries that belong
to the combinations entered into an agree
ment not to put up more than 400 900 cases
this year. From reports received to Sep
tember 1, estimate their catch at $50. 900
cases. The independent canneries have
packed about 81, 600. The whole output will
not exceed SOC, 900 cases. The codflshing

Of his Calling, and tv illustrate the
same with stories There was nne
beggar in the room who even kept an
account of his income and expenses.
/ saw the record for March and found
that his gains had been ninety-three
marks and few pfennigs, not inclnd-
ing the meals which he had in various
kitchens where the servants were
friendly. l must say right here, how
ever, that such success is found only
in cities.
One tramp was philosopbizing in
maundering way over his life on the
road, and what first brought him
there. He reasoned that as he was
born lazy, the blame should be put on
his parents, but he finally concluded
that the Schnappsfasche also had
hand in it. Another companion said:
"Why should I work, when I can beg
more than / can possibly earn. Now
if I should follow my trade ]
could earn about eighteen marks
week. But as a beggar I can beat
that by ten marks. No, brother; it
isn't all the blame of the Schnapps-
fasche that we're on the road. I, for
one, am here because I can do bet
ter than anywhere else. Isn't that so2"
And he nudged me for an answer.
"Well, said, swe lads on the roed
seem to have more money than most
laborers, but we seldom have decent
place to lay our heads. For instance,
what sort of place is this we're in
now?'
Eyes, that's true" he returned:
ssbut then, we're never sick, always
happy, and perhaps we're just as well
off as anybody else. You forget that
We never work, and that's a great
thing in our favor. Those lads who
have their homes have to work for
them, and don't you forget it. It's
my opinion that the home isn't worth
the labor. =" Century.

THE TOILET OF BIRDS.

The feathered tribes have many pc
culiar ways and fancies about the de-
tails of their toilets. Some birds use
water only, some water and dust,
while others prefer dust and no water.
Birds are not only exceedingly nice in
their choice of bath water, but also
very particular about the quality Of
their toilet dust. . Wild ducks,
though feeding by salt water, prefer to
bathe in fresh water pools, and will fy
long distances inland to running
brooks and ponds, where they preen
and dress their feathers in the early
hours of the morning. Sparrows
bathe often, both in water and In dust.
They are not so particular about the
quality of the water as about
the quality of the dust. They prefer
clean water, but I have seen them take
dip in shallow pools that we're quite
muddy. The city sparrow must take
water bath where be can get it--in
the streets or on the house tops but
he is most careful in his choice of his
dust bath. Road dust, the dryest and
finest possible, suits him best. I have
noticed the city sparrow taking his
dust bath in the street, and invariably
he chooses place where the dust il
like powder. Partridges prefer dry
loan. They like to scratch out the
soil from under the grass and fill their
feathers with cool earth. Most birds
are fond of burnt ashes. Some early
morning take walk across . field that
has been burnt over. and see the num-
ber of winged creatures that rise sud-
denly from the ash heaps. A darling
form, small cloud of ashes. and the
bathers disappear. New York Home.

Blaclxfoot Scouts TraiIed the Gang
Which Held Up the Northern
Pacific Train to Hut-Three
Robbers and an Indian Killed
Two Bandits Captured.l
Three train robbers and one member of an
Indian posse were killed in pitched battle

of the Rocky Mountains, not far from Kali
spell, Montana.
Their names were Charles Jones, alias
Charles Kincaid, John Shipman and Ben
Hall, alias Ben Mattocks. robbers, and Henry
Schiber of the Indian police. Several other

robbers were members of the gang of four
which held up the Northern Pacific passen-
ger train near Livingstone, Montana, on
August %.
They were traced from Livingstone by two
Blackfoot scouts, who finally ran them to
ground near Two Medicine Geek. The
scouts returned to Kalispell and notified
United States Marshall Jackson, who started
out on the trail with posse OF about thirteen
Blackfoot Indian police. Where the robbers
camp was struck at Two Medicine Greek was
within mile OF the Great Northern Rail-
road.
From signs about the tracks OF the road it
IS DeI1eved tnat the gang intended to wreck
or hold up a Great Northern train. There
were five men, one of whom probably joined
the Northern Pacific robbers after their es-
cape from Livingstone, encamped in a log
house, which had been erected by Shepherd,
Stems q Co., railroad contractors. When
Marshal jackson reached the camp a heavy
snow storm had set in.
The cabin was surrounded, and Marshal
jackson approached it with flag of truce
and ordered the men to surrender. The
answer was sheet OF flame from the win
dows OF the cabin.
Henry Schiber was instantly killeA The
fire was returned, but without effect. The
robbers were again summoned to sur
render, but responded by another volley
Marshal Jackson sent a messenger to
Helena and Kalispell for rcinforcements.
The reinforcements of lis men arrived at
night under Sheriff Curtiss. of Helena, and
Sheriff Granger, of Kalspell.
The besieged and besiegers had kept up
steady firing in the mean time, and three OF
the robbers had been killed by the Indians.
The fourth robber, Brown, and the unknown
man kept up the firing for an hour after the
reenforccments came, but their ammunition
gave out and they finally surrended.
None of the robbers had anything to eat
for four days. All the booty, with the ex-
ception OF few articles. was recovered.
Brown and the unknown man, who said
his name was Sinclair, we're taken to Kali
spell. They may be lynched before their trial
