MADE A GOOD BARGAIN.


How California Prospector Got II Zig
Price for Mine.
San Francisco Post: ut is the easiest
thing on earth to sell mine in London
for almost any price, provided you have
anything to show an expert" said
Major Frank Mclaughlin to Post re-
porter. There is also right way and
Il wrong way to go about it. Some time
ago l went to London to negotiate tho
sale of some mining property. or
course the first thing had to do was to
let capital know what was there for.
Then, when Inquiries commenced,
simply said: Gentlemen. have mir
ing property for sale. If you meat
business and want TO buy send You
expert out to examine the property ana
make a report on IT, You will know
then what you are buying.
"A company was organized. An eX-
pert examined the property and re-
ported fayorably and a meeting was
held to discuss terms.
" Now, Major, said the spokesman
we have found that the property may
be worth something What is your
price?'
1.-Two hundred and fifty thousand,
said /.
That is more than We expected to
pay. We expected to pay about $780,
600. There is not much difference be-
tween 100000 and s25O,OOO, If you
will drop the fifty we will take it,
Il had expected to get about 500, 900
for the property, so with show of re-
luctance l agreed to accept their offer.
When the papers were made out I was
surprised to learn that they had been
talking about pounds and about dol
lars, but l was very careful not to let
my surprise leak, and that is the way
l got s1,0OOOOO for the mine. Grea
people to do business with"

Nave been attacked by a man who
Beated and mallreated her in most
shameful manner Tuesday afternoon.
Yesterday it TRANSFERRED that the story
was built on very slender thread.
I{appears from information obtained
d Ithe police headquarters that two
women became involved in difficulty
and that man, attracted by the noise
OF the scufIle, attempted to separate
them. Finding the task too much for
hin he telephoncd for the patrol wa
gor and when the vehicle arrived the
women charged him with having been
guilty Of the disturbance of the peace
and he and one of the women were
put under arrest and conveyed to the
station. In the recorders court this
morning the complainant, who is said
to I've been badly beaten, did not
put lip an appearance to prosecute and
the nan and woman were discharged.
The d hT claimed that he merely tried
to actl as peacemaker between the
womall and that he suffered the usual
conseql uences of inserferring in such
matters.

MINE ON FIRE 40 YEARS.
Flames distinguished by Water Pumped
from n Distance.

Flames distinguished by Water Pumped
from Distance.
Over forty years ago portion of the
Great Eastern Coal Basin of Carbon
county, Pa, which extends to the Sus-
quehanna caught fire and has contin-
ued to burn ever since, notwithstand-
ing the fact that thousands of dollars
have been spent in the endeavor to ex-
tinguish the flames. The effects of the
fire and its accompanying heat are
plainly shown, acres on the surface
having been scared and blighted. The
rocks are baked and are of every shade
and color. They have changed their
strati6ed positions and are reclining
in every conceivable way. Neverthe-
less, the company owning the mines
has continued to experiment until at
last it has hit on a plan which will
cut off the fire in one direction at least.
Pipes twelve inches in diameter are
being run from No. mine up a steep
incline to the summit of the mountain,
distance of nearly two miles. Holes
are being drilled and after the water Is
pumped up the hill by giant engine
it will be allowed to run through the
borings and thus play directly upon
the flames. The scheme is costing
many thousand dollars, but it will
place a large supply of the finest coal
in such position that it can be mined
with safety.

OF the season was committed. A well
dressed man entered the side entrance
of the city ticket Office OF the Texas

L. p. Turper, who was checking up
the days sales, threw gun ON him,
raSed up the currency on the desk
and disappeared. There were a num-
Der of people on the streets at the
time, some of them stopping to go
into the telegraph office. One or two
seeing men in the ticket Office, tried
the front door, but finding it locked
passed OIL. AS soon as the tLief got
the money he backed to the side en-
trance, still holding the pistol, and
disappeared. Mr.. Turner notified the

citizen who lived alone, about six
miles from Grandyiew, johnson coun-
ty, was murdered the other night.
A man giving his name as John
wilkins went to Taylor's house, prior
to the assassination and hired to him
as farm hand. On the next day he
was seen at Taylor's house, and about
sun-up the day after Wilkins appeared
in Cleburne, twenty-five miles from
Taylor's place. He sold the horse he
was riding to the highest bidder He
aroused suspicion and Sheriff Stewart
arrested him and started to Jail with
him. When he arrived at the gate
wilkins broke and ran, with Sheriff
Stewart after him. Wilkins stopped
behind tree and began shooting at
Stewart, and came very near killing
him, as he shot hole through his
hat After he had omptied his pistol
he surrendered. On his way to jail
he said it was not the horse he was
afraid of it was something worse than
that.

Administering Ether.

The most common mistake made
by beginners in the administration of
ether Is that Of forgetting to lessen
the proportion Of the substance when
full an@sthesiais tablished-thati L.,
continuing to make their patients re-
spire an atmosphere as highly charged
with its vapors as when getting them
under its influence. 1t is a matter Of
surprise to physicians how very lit
ae ether will often suffice to keep q
patient well under its influence to-
yard the close of an operation, and
this small quantity will always post
pone vomiting until the operation Is
