Names of Mining Claims.

"In travelling through the mining
region of Colorado one is often surprised
and amused at the queer and fanciful
names given by the miners to their
claims and Mines" said a Denver man.
Down in a deep gulch I came upon a
brawny. full bearded man welding a
pick vigorously in the tunnel Of the
Baby Belle mine. Near by was the
Girl [ Left Behind Me- owned by a
handsome, strapping young fellow, who
no doubt had many happy, helpful
thoughts of the girl he had left behind
him while working eagerly and hope
fully on the claim that might make
them both rich. In another gulch were
claims called Little Sassbox, 'Daddy's
Delight, The Pretty Polly Pemberton,'
'Thompson's Mule Starvation Bust
ed and numerous other claims whose
names were equally interesting. The
owners of these claims are likely to be
quite as happy without as with the for
tunes for which they seek. In many
cases they are better off seeking wealth
than they would be in the sudden pos
session of it. '-St. Louis Globe Demo.

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-10-05

The fine Italian diplomacy of Pope
Leo was never better exemplifed than
in his dictum on the cremation ques-
ton. Approaching fully the s%anitaryrea-
sons in favor of this mode of disposal of
the dead and bearing in mind at the same
time the church's traditional attitude
on the question, he says that cremation
is heretical in principle. Under certain
conditions, however, which would in
volve a public scandal if cremation were
not resorted to, the pope permits priests
to oficiate at the funeral of a corpse
that is to be incinerated. Priests may
not go to a crematory, but they may
perform rites over bodies that are to be
taken thither. Probably his holiness
had cholera, typhus and smallpox in his
mind when he gave this qualified per-
mission.
