County, Michigan, Finally
Becomes Exhausted.

Marquette Mich, July 30.-Supt. Dun
stan of the Central copper mine i'll Re
Weenaw county has received orders from
the directors i'll Boston to abandon the
mine. This closes a forty years term Of
continuous operation of this mine, during
which it has returned to its stockholders
S2,00O,OOO in dividends on an investment
of 100000. The vein had been worked
by some prehistoric race and it was the
traces they left of their work that led to
the discovery Of the mine in 1881. The
shut down is due to the utter exhaustion
of the vein and failure TO find other de-
posts on the company's property. -Four
hundred men are out Of employment, and
the village of 1000 persons wholly de,
pendent upon the mine, will soon be
tenantless. This also ends the copper
mining industry in KeweenaW county,

EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA
Sharp ShaCks Experienced in
Several Southern Cities-No
Damage to PROPERTY.

Los Angeles, Cal. July 30.-This city
was shaken by an earthquake last even
ing at OH O'Clock. The direction was
from the northeast to southeast, though
most of the movement was more of an
upheaving than of an undulating char
but not doing much damage. At Santa
Monico and San Pedro Il tidal wave was
looked for by the timorous, but no indica-
ton of one was noticeable. At Acton
there were three distinct shocks, the most
severe ever felt in that region, but 40
particular damage is reported. The pecu-
liar feature of the affair at that place,
however, W2s that Immediately after the
vibrations ceased a large meteor, similar
to the one which attracted SO much at
tentiCn on Friday night here, was seen
to fall to the north. 1t appeared like an
immense ball of blue fire and apparently
moved from the zenith to the north III

why he should end his life unless it was
that financial troubles preyed on his

to Save the Crops.
Cranberry Center, Wis, July 28-The
continued drouth has been attended
by its usual quota of fires in this vicinity.
The dry hot winds of the past few days
have brought the fires in upon this place
with unprecedented fury Help has been
telegraphed for and the residents hope to
save few of the best marshes. The out
look for a crop this year is very slim.
While the lack of floods and snow during
the winter cut off the possibility of a
large crop generally throughout this sec
ton, it was hoped that a fair crop might
still be harvested. The result of three
frosts in June and two in July has been
to reduce the vitality of the vine to such
an extent that. they will hardly be able
TO ripen much fruit.
The extreme heat during the month Of
June blasted great many blossoms,
even on those marshes which are sup
piled with water. Most of the marshes
are entirely out of water now and those
which have water report only enough in
