THE ORE WASHING LAW
TIE TWO WEEKS or GRACE HA TE
EXPIRED.
It's Claimed That Not Only VIII New River
But Many Other Important s'resmsin
This State be Affected by the Act.

PULASKI, VA, March 3O.-Specisl.--
United States Attorney Montague two
weeks OF grace in the New river ore
washing matter expired the 9TH. lie no
tilted the operators that washings could
be continued for this period. when he
woutd hold a consultation with the man
ayers OF the Cripple Creek mines ana
their dependant furnaces. at Lynchburg.
This conference. II Is supposed, would
have ended I'm framing sort OF friendly
prosecution to secure the opinion or the
courts.
There is now evolved from this order
OF the Department Of Justice a question
OF still more startling character e.
whether upon the enforcement or TINS
order applying TO the Cripple Creek sec
ton Of New river 1t will not extend TO all
the streams upon whose tributaries any
ore Of any character is washed. The
wording OF the act follows:
Section 6. That It shall not be lawful
10 place, discharge or deposit, by any
process or in any manner, ballast, refuse
dirt. ashes. cinders. mud. dredgings.
sludge. acid, or any other matter Of any
kind. other than floating from streets.
sewers and passing tberefrom in a liquid
state, i'm the waters o. any harbor or
river of the United states for the i'm
provement Of which money has been ap-
propriated by Congress- &c.
THE STREAMS INVOLVED.
The tributaries OF James river, the
Kanawha, and the Tennessee and Ohio
rivers are all used for ore washings just
as are the tributaries OF New river in
this section. These large streams receive
the refuse from the ore banks and fur
naces carried out by the smaller streams
and although they do not have such a
proportion OF refuse as New river. they
still clearly come within the purview
OF the act The forbidden refuse is there
and Is palpable infraction Of the statute
whether the quantity is in pounds or
tons These large streams bear the bur
den Of commerce for their Immediately
surrounding country; hundreds Of thou
sands OF dollars have been spent upon
them for this specific purpose. and the
expenditures have been justified by the
results. Here is ground for action: but
these conditions do not nor did they
ever exist upon New river, whose i'm
provements" were idle experiments. and
whose only appropriation, very small
one. came only as a compliment TO the
sitting member from this district eighteen
years ago.
There is but little doubt. II the wash
ings are forbidden in New river. that
there will be influences set in motion
which will eventually close up all the
zinc. lead and iron mines. furnaces and
reducing works in the States of Virginia,
West Virginia and Tennessee. monopo-

Make Great Fight.
 The village of President, an old-tirne petroleum center is in the Oil creek of i Pennsylvania. There is where tho ! Karnses, once a famous family of oil operators, had their home, and some of them live there and thereabout yet. One of these is Henry Karns. The other day, early in the morning, hs heard his pig, which had reached the proper condition for killing, squealing in such an agonizing way in the pen that he knew something was wrong with it. Karns' first thought was bear, for now and then, even at this late dnte, bears venture from the dis tant woods to the sleepy towns in that part of the valley and try their skill on pigs and sheep. So Karns took his gun and hurried to the pig pen. Bat instead of bears rats were the impudent in- vaders of tho pig pen and hungry assail- ants of the pig.
 The stye was simply alive with rats. The pig was prostrate on the floor of the pen. and literally covered with this horde of rats, which were squealing, fighting among themselves for vantage ground on the fat porler, and gnash- ing and gnawing at the pigs flesh, from his head to his trump. To fire his gun into the swarming rats would bS the endangering of the pig, and think ing that q prompt and vigorous attack on the rats would put them to flight, he elubbed his gun and began mauling right and left with it. The pig had plainly made a desperate fight against Its assailants, for scores of rats lay dead abost the pen. The moment Karns pitched into the rats those in the outer ranks turned on him. They came at him in such force that he was uu- able to fight them off, and after D brief attempt to hold his ground he turned and fed. Fastening back to the house he drew the buckshot from his gun and loaded 1t with fine shot Returning to the pen, he gave the great body of rats, shooting along the side of the pig so as nos to injure it, the charge of both bar rels. Many of them were swept down before it, but their places were quickly taken by others. Karns fired five times. The rats that were left still held their ground.
 The shots had attracted the attentionI of the neighbors, who ran to the place to see what was going on. This arrival of endorsements alarmed the rats, and the survivors retreated, seampering away in all directions. The pig was dead The flesh had been stripped from it clear to the bone in many places. It's eyes had been pluclzed out, and it's heart half eaten in two A half-bushelI basketful of dead rats were taken from the pen. Where the rodents came from 50 suddenly in such great numbers is not known. None of them has beea seen since.

Ahe Startling Experience of a Montana
 Man. Who stiu Survives tho Shock.
 Charles B. Hoffman, of Butte, Mont, was standing at the mouth of mine not long ago when he was struck by lightning. The thunderbelt, he thinks, first struck the straw hat he was wear ing, and it tore hole in the hat that cut part of the rim. Then it tore his clothing into shreds and left him naked Both his overalls and the shirt he was wearing presented the appear ance of having passed through saul, sage mill Nobody can tell him why, he was not killed by the lightning. The bolt, he says, after passing through his hat, struck him on the shoulder and van the full length of his body, burn ing the skin to crisp on the side and legs. It also cut his left foot on the side and bottom, breaking the bones of the foot.
 My clothes were torn to pieces and thrown from my body" said Mir. Hoff-. man to a writer for the New York World, land my shoes were torn from my feet"
 He became unconscious as soon as he was struck by the lightning and did not revive for on hour and a half. When he regained his senses Hoffman was in great pain and he was confined to ti1e hospital for nine weeks. When Hoiiman's clothing was examined after the accident it was seen that in many places the lightning had cut the cloth as neatly as if 1t had been done with Q f,f 1,a 1{e nd straight The lightning took his clothes off quicker than he could have undressed himself, and it threw them in pile on one side of the track, with his shoes carefully deposited beside the 1 pile. The clothes seemed to have been neatly folded until they were exam ] ined and found to be a pile of rags, i Hoffman's pants" mad been yanlxed off him without the formality of pulling them over his feet. This seemingly im- possible task was accomplished by the lightning first cutting each leg open, and then it appeared to have talk en them by the seat and dropped them on the coat, and to finish the job by depositing MT. Hoffman's straw hat on top of all. After 1t got through with Hoffman this remarkable streak of lightning ran along metal Crack into the G1engary mine, at the mouth of which he had been working, ran to the end of the shaft, which is four hundred l feet below the surface of the ground, and then it ran along Q 'cross cut" two hundred feet where it branched off and for sixty feet followed s'winze. J fFha1.a xvara cavaral ,,,a,, q f xuoplx o { 4l ( i point, and all were more or less stunned The bolt of lightning went into the earth when it reached the end of the s'winze."
