Are You Interested in Gold Mining?

If so, investigate thoroughly the wonderful results obtained by
tho CRAWFORD MILL. This mill. from actual working tests. has
achieved greater results. grown in popularity more rapidly and is
to-day going into more mining camps than any other mill. Its
simplicity, cheapness, high saving powers on base ores fills a long
needed want, and hundreds of low grade base rnines heretofore
lying idle can now be worked as good dividend paying properties
No ono interested in a gold property should fail to investigate this
mill Illustrated catalogues can be had and a working model seen.

The report that Mr.. Cleveland has
threatened to allow republican office
holders to hold over in states whose
senators voted against the repeal OF the
Sherman act is r~idiculously absurd, but
if Mr.. Cleveland should let them hold
over in states where democrats are so
stupid and foolish as to refuse to elect
democratic senators when it is in their
power to do so, nobody could blame him.

In announcing the first four members
OF his cabinet MIR. Cleveland credits
Judge Gresham to Illinois. This prob
ably will bar the appointment OF an
other Illinois man to the cabinet, al
though Mr.. Cleveland may break the
rule in that respect, as he did by taking
two men from Now York. In that case,
there would be a chance for William r.
Morrison, an honest old democrat,
whose appearance in the cabinet would
be crested with great satisfaction by
tie party.

he did the most unusual things II
happened in the spring Of 1872. Bart
had been doing . smashing business in
more sense than one in the northern
part of the state, and he had become
such terror that q double guard was
sent out with every coach that went
from Sacramento to Nevada City. Once
he attempted to hold coach up against
such odds that he failed, and only
escaped after 0long chase through the
mountains, during which he was
wounded severely. and the guards were
confident that. MORALLY hit BY their
bullets, he had managed to crawl into
some one Of his retreats and died. fog
several weeks nothing was heard from
Bart, and. believing him dead. the ex-
press companies relaxed their vigilance,
and the mails and strong boxes were

Here il = strange tale culled from IN
old treasury Of interesting facts which
illustrates how impetuosity sometimes
wrealks ruin that is irretrievablc.
Three hundred years ago Stavorcn was
one of the busiest and richest towns on
the Zuyder Zee. To-day it is known
u one Of the dead cities" Of Holland.
And this il how this mighty change
has been wrought: The haven is
barred BY . band called the ''Lady's
Sandbank," and thereby, according to
local tradition, hangs the tale of the
ruin of Stavoren. In the height of its
greatest prosperity naughty. purse
proad woman, wife Of one of the
wealthiest merchants Of the place, babe
the captain Of one Of her husbands
ships to bring her one Of the most
precious things in the world" The
honest sailor brought the dame u cargo
Of wheat from Dantxig-what he con-
sidered. and rightly, too. the most
precious thing in the world. Angry 1t
his stupidity" ~ the vain lady
thought it she ordered the wheat to be
thrown ~overboard It the hsrbor's
mouth, whereupon the grain took root
and laid the foundation q the vast
grass bank that killed the trade Of
Stavoren.-Harper's Young People.
