The Rapid Journal gives an account
OF a mos, shocking accident that occur
red twenty-eight miles northeast Of that
place on Sunday last, resulting In the
death of Eugene, the fifteen-year-old son
OF George Mcpherson, a farmer residing
on Alkali creek. The particulars of the
sad case, as reported, are briefly as fol-
lows:
Sunday afternoon the two sons Of
George Mcpherson, Eugene. aged abou.
ifteen years, and Glen. about twelve
years old, were herding the cattle, the
Ssst Of the family being away. The
boys were playing, endeavoring to catch
each other with their lariats, viii IN
were fastened TO the pommels Of their
saddles. Glen succeeded in getting the
rope oil his brother, Eugene, when the
pony took fright and started of on
mad run. For two miles the unfor-
tunate boy was dragged over rocks, hills
and gullies until death came to his re-
lief When found the body was a sad
sight to look upon, the flesh having
been torn from the limbs and body so
that it was hard to recognize the lad
who but few short hours before had
been the picture of health and life"

LOST CABIN MINE POUND.

VIM. Murry, who has mine at the
junction Of Kosh creek and Pitt river,
about sixty miles northeast of Redding,
Cal. brings news of having discovered
the richest mines in this country, and
says il is the original Lost Cabin mine.
which has been searched for during the
past thirty years. He has discovered q
ledge 500 feet wide and 400 feet high,
impregnated with iron ore, which bears
gold and silver to the value of from $50
to $3.50 per ton. The range where this
mine was discovered is a continuation
of that upon which is the great Lost
Confidence mine, or what is generally
known as the Iron Mountain. 1t was
recent sold to an English syndicate for
$1,000, ,000.-Times.

The recent test run of gold ore from
the King Solomon mine at the J. X.

over We dollars per ton.
The Hill City News says w. w. Challis
has struck it rich again. He has claim

Dave Swarzey, the owner of the Big
Hit mine, near Keystone. is said to
b I'VE perfected arrangements with a st.
Louis smelter for . test run on the ores
of that well known mine which is claim
ed to be a very promising smelling pro-
position.
The d. & d. Smelter company of
Deadwood, pays the b. & NJ. railroad, so
il is said, five thousand dollars per
week for transporting ores from local
sRd Montaaa mines, coke from Pennsyl-
vania, coke and coal from Newcastle
and other supplies.
A lively gold excitement has sprung
up ut Douglas. Wyoming, near which
place gold 10 said to have been Tecently

Of the most productive sections in the
Hills.


The bond on this property expires in
few weeks, and the owners are by no
means anxious that il be taken up, says
the Deadwood Times, as other parties
stand ready to put up mill to treat the
ore in consideration of an interest in
the property. This proposition is far
more acceptable to the owners, as in q
few months after the mill is in operation
the values recovered would equal if not
exceed the amount expressed in the
option. The mine is now in shape TO
keep . 20 stamp mill in continuous
operation.
NCsHANE FRACTION.
The returns from the first car load of
ore, % tons, from the Mes hane fraction
to the ID. & d. smelter, were received
yesterday. They show that the ore car
ries $64 so gold and 7-l0 silver per ton.
Average daily output of the mine ranges
rom q TO 80 tons OF same graae or ore.
1t is expected that future shipments will
show much higher value, as in the
first car load considerable waste rock
was shoveled into the car, but such was
not found out until it was dumped into
the ore bin at the smelter.-Times.
THE KILDoSAN MILL.
The massive walls and foundation, on
which the Buckner roaster, will rest in
this new mill, were completed yester.
day. The work has been done in first
class manner and reflects credit on the
mechanics employed. The lumber con-
tractors are now delivering car loads of
material every day and tomorrow the
work Of framing will commence. No
more delay is looked for and the plant
will be pushed to completion Times.

PITTSBURG,F Feb. IA wreck oc-
Cured tonight at 10 O'Clock at the
Rankin crossing between the East
ern express on the Baltimore q
Ohio and a trolley car on the Brad
dock and Rankin branch of the Sec
ond avenue electric line, which re-
suited in the death of Miss Anna
Kusac and the severe injury Of Will
lam Jonas, both passengers on the
electric car. The Baltimore & Ohio
train was an hour late, and was
coming along at high rate of speed
just as the trolley car approached
the crossing When the motorman
and the conductor saw that col
lision was inevitable, they told the
passengers to jump for their lives.
There were twelve passengers, all of
whom succeeded in getting off except
Miss Kusac. She sat still because
she could not understand English,
and did not know the danger she
was in. She arrived in New York
on Saturday, and was on her way to
Rankin to join her father, whom she
he'd not seen since she was four
years old. The car was struck fairly
in the center, and was reduced to
kindling wood. Miss Kusac's head
was cut entirely off, and her bedy
horribly mutiIated. William Jonas
had his arm crushed and his head
badly cut. All the other passengers
were bruised or slightly cut by flying
pieces of, the wrecked car.

ONE BORN A MINUTE.
Mr.. FauIIz of Iowa Il Rich, Rare
Sucker.

J. w. Faux, an Iowa farmer,
came to Minneapolis about four
weeks ago on a laudable errand. He
had $3.50 good American dollars with
him, and he gave it out that he was
going to start a lodging house some
where up town. Mr.. Faux con-
Guided to come at the town carefully,
so he began on the shores of the
Father of Waters, in the district that
Iieth over near First street. In the
course of his peregrinations he met
one frankie Lashelle, a sympathetic
dove who felt it was not good for a
man to be alone, especially if he had
$3.50 After Frankie learned FauIk'a
business idea, she jumped with his
humor, and together they bought
an establishment which frankie
knew all about. But like the affair
between the torpedo and the whale,
"AlI went we'll until one day." when
a furniture man swooped down upon,

frankie was astonished-there was
a big misunderstanding all around
she didn't know anything about
business mo how" and Faux, who
had thought he only had to pay
something like $175, had to pony up
$500. All of the parties to the deal
fought it out in City Clerk Haney's
office one day last week But the
guileless Faux, though severely
roasted in Mr.. Haney's office, was
only half done and frankie knew
it. She led him forth and threw
few s1ugs of the enemy into him to
steal away his grey matter, and then
proposed a trip to st. Paul. Nothing
10th, Faux went along. But in the
second watch of the night, when he
awoke from his slumbers, he found
that frankie and the remainder of
his coin, $3.50, had disappeared, and,
like the wedding guest in the An
cient Mariner" "a sadder and a
wiser man he rose the morrow
morn" frankie forgot to leave her

WITH A CHEAP REVOLVER.
A Young Husband Fatally Shoots
His Wife.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 17.-At the fe-
male hospital of this city today Cline
w. Cameron, a youth of eighteen,
made desperate attempt to end the
lives of his girl wife, Mamie, aged
seventeen, and himself. Through a
succession of misfortunes the couple
had become unable to make a living.
Mrs. Cameron was taken with an at
tack of malarial fever and removed to
the city institution for treatment.
Cameron, still out of work, called to
see his wife today. They. talked ear
nestly for some time, when suddenly
Cameron drew a cheap revolver and
fired one shot at his wife, infficting a
probably fatal wound in the side near
the heart He then turned the weapon
on himself, but inflicted only slight
scalp wound before he was seized.
His wife will probably die.

The Kevstoue-of tho A-oh

In the edifice of health is vigor, which
means not merely muscular energy,
but an active discharge of the various
functions of the body, such as diges-
ton, secretion of the bile, the action
OF the bowels, the circulation of the
blood. Nothing more actively and
thoroughly contributes to the united
performance of these functions than
the renowned tonic and regulator, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. The result of
its use is a speedy gain in strength.
together with the agreeable conscious
ness that the tenure of life is being
strengthened-that one is laying up a
store of vitality against the unavoid-
able draughts which Old age makes up
on the system. The fortifying influence
OF the Bitters constitutes it a reliable
safeguard against malaria, rheuma tism
and kidney trouble. Appetite and sleep
improve through its use, and it protects
the system from the effects of cold
and damp.
