why Jones FIopped.

The San Francisco Chronicle con-
tains the following press dispatch!
washington, September 6-Politi-
cal gossips have come forward with a
reason for the flop Of Senator Jones.
They now say that the reason for re-
nouncing the Republican party was
because of the attitude of his State to-
ward both of the old parties on the
question of silver coinage.
Representative Francis G. New
lands it is now said, is a candidate for
the Senate, and was looking forward
to the time when the Nevada Legisla-
ture would choose successor to Sena-
tor Jones' The latter reasoned it best
to come out of the party with one idea
that of free coinage, cutting himself
loose from every tie which bound him
to every other issue. and thus heading
off the Newlands movement, the mot
to of which is Free silver coinage and
nothing else until that is accomplish
ed.
HHe recalled the fact that Newlands,
two years ago, was elected to Congress
on distinctly silver party platform,
receiving 7,171 votes against |, 295 for
the straight Republican candidate and
348 for the regular Democratic NOM
inee. 1t thus became necessary for
the Senator to declare himself posi-
lively and place himself on a par with
his colleague, Senator Stewart, and
with Representative Newlands in the
new party"

At a depth of 70 feet in the Zirn-
Schulz mine at Pine Nut an ore body
has been struck that to all appearance
is half gold. In two hours Wednes-
day Mr.. Zirn took out 5000 in fine
gold. and the same day extracted ore
which is worth at least 81, 400. Mr..
Zirn claims that there is fully twenty
feet of this marvellous ore in view.
Messrs Zirn and Schulz are to be
congratulated upon their good fortune,
and to be commended for their pa
tience and perseverance in continuing
the work at the mine in spite of all
obstacles. The recent developments
should stimulate other mine owners in
Pine Nut to redouble their efforts,
and renew their energy. 1t will not be
long before the outside world will be-
gin to realize that we have an Eldora-
do here, and then the prosperity of
this section will matter of but a
short time.
Three cheers for Pine Nut and con-
tinued success to its prospectors!-

From all that can be gathered, the
Chinese and .Iapanes are entering into
a war that threatens to be of long duraA

ious in the killing business, the money

the war debts they must contract in
order to murder each other. These

Carrying Gold at Sea.

The specie locker on an ocean steam
er is a carefully constructed vault, and
Is located in the stern Immediately over
the screw. 1t has the shape Of a half
oval, following the contour of the side
Of the vessel, and is generally about six
feet in its extreme from top to bottom.
Some vaults are fifteen or twenty feet
in length, fore and aft. The interior is
reached by a door or hatchway from
the top, simply large enough to give
convenient access. This door is of steel,
and has a combination lock, which Is
known only to the purser. Over this
hatch are also fastened three bars of
steel two and one-half inches thick,
which swing at one end on hinges and
are locked ami also bolted at the other.
The locker, it will be seen, is in the
most suitable location in the ship, away
from the crew, and cannot be tempered
with, as on three sides of it is the sea.
The purser receives the gold, carefully
examines the seals, then checks Off the
weights and ASSUMES the responsibility
for it. Colo Is shipped in bags holding
$1,000 or in kegs Of $4,000. When in
5000 or in kegs Of $4,000. When in
bars the size varies. Silver generally
weighs 125 pounds to the ingot.-Hard-

what seemed to be a sandy path or the bed

could not have been very many when they
were all taken out on two double hand
cars.
II know there were a number who started
north along the track after getting OF the
train, for I and my wife started In that d.
~rection, and we could see a lot ahead or US.
The wind blew such n shower of cinders
over us that I concluded to head back for
the opening. I did not know at the time
that there was any water there. but thought
we would be better off on the little opening:
The colored porter, John Blair. was the first
to tell us about the water, and he urged us
to go to it. Mrs. German was so overcome
she could hardly reach 1t. and when she
did she sank down exhausted. Such a ter
rible night as we spent there Is beyond the
power Of man to describe.

Jefferson was fond Of telling a story
which illustrates in a forcible manner
the Importance that absur6ly ins.gnfl-

says the Philadelphia Press. When tho
deliberative body that gave the world
the declaration of independence was in
session its proceedings We're conducted
In a hall close to which was situated a
livery stable. The weather was warm.
and from tile stable came sM arms of
flies that lighted on the legs of the hon
orable members, and, biting through
the silk stockings then in fashion, gave
Infinite annoyance. It was no uncotu-
mon sight. said Jefferson, to see a mem.
her making a speech with a alarge hand
kerchief in hand and pausing at every
moment to thrash the flies from his
thinly protected calves. Tha opinion Of
the body was not unanimous in favor
Of the document, ard, under other cir.
cumstances discussion might have been
protracted fer lays, If not weeks, but
the flies were intclerable. Efforts were
made to find another hall. free from
the pests, but In vain. As the weather
became warmer the files grew worse,
and the Tapping Of handkerchiefs was
heard all over the hall as IN accom-
paniment to the voices Of. the speakers.
In despair, at last some OHIO suggested
that matters be hurried SO that the
body might adjourn and get away from
the flies. There were a few mild pro.
tests, but no one needed them, the inn
mortal declarations was hurriedly
copied, and, with handkerchiefs in hand
fighting flies as they came, the men,
bers fastened up to the table to sign
the authentic copy and leave the fies
In the lurch. Had it not been for the
livery stable and it's inmates there is
no telling when the document would
have been completed. but 1t certainly
would not have been signed on the

I met a carriage this morning with

ON the back and punch in the ribs
when I meet him on the sidewalk; but,
bless you, when he passed me In q
carriage this morning he bowed slightly
and with as much dignity as If he were
president Of a half-dozen healthy re-
publics. Now he was in the carriage by
himself-three seats around him-and
he could very easily have yelled to- me
to join him in the ride without sacri-
ficing his good character. He didn't
do it, however. de drove straight on
without more than a stiff bow. A
buggy doesn't have that effect on a
man; a ride on horseback doesn't; an
electric car doesn't-then there must
be something in a carriage conducive
to haughtiness. Atlanta Journal.

BurroDett and Granite Lake De-

Cumberland, Wis, Sept. 3.-Bar-
ronett, with: 500 population, eight miles
north of this city, and Granite Lake, a
small town four miles north of here,
were both completely wiped out of
existence by fire. The people barely
escaped with their lives, and have been
brought to this city. Four families are
still missing and it is thought they may
have persisted in the flames. Great
excitement prevails here tonight. Fifty
millions of feet of lumber were burned
at Barrorett, and 5,O0O,OO0 feet at
Granite Lake. Railroad bridges r
row on fire, and the track at Barronett
is warped entirely out OF shape.
