Church organ on a Rampage.

The grand organ in St Paul's Protes- tant church in Railway, N. !, brought the services to an abrupt close Sunday morning. The choir had begun to sing the gloria, when something happened to tie sgai.. and every pipe began to sound. IL was several minutes before the supply mir could be shut of and the noise ceased. The pastor. the Rev. R. r. Cobb, attempted to dismiss the con gregation during the noise, but his words could not be heard, and the peo- pie left the church to save their ear drums

The opinion recently handed

the Enterprise Mining Company,
involving, as it does, the rights
derived through mining tunuelp,

millions of ore already taken out OF
rich mines may have to be account

of the conflict between the Group

the Group tunnel, and in 1892 q
rich vein was struck In The inanel.
In drifting along the vein il .as

location, which had become the
property OF the Rico Aspen con-

to reach the rich vein and con-
flict occurred. Eminent counsel
tried the case before Judge HslleL
who decided that the Rico COM

NAMES OF MINING CLAIMS

had many happy, helpful thoughts
of the girl he had left behind him
while working eagerly and hope

them both rich. In another gulch
were claims called, Little Sassbox,
Daddy's Delight The Pretty
Polly Pemberton, 'Thompson's
Mule Starvation, Busted, and
numerous other claims whose
names are equally interesting.
The owners of these claims are
likely to be quite as happy with

they seek. In many cases they
are better off seeking wealth than
they would be in the sudden pos
session of it."--St Louis Globe

DOG AND DYNAMITE.

John Gallagher and Peter Har
klns, two young men OF Silver
brook, Pa, through an oversight
almost lost their lives, besides
throwing the entire community
into a state of excitement. A dog
owned by Henry Yansis was the
first to excite the town, and it was
pronounced mad. Gallager and
Harkins went to the rescue OF the
villagers and succeeded in corral
ing the canine III an old stable 10
outskirts Of the village, when they
proceeded to dispatch the dog With
shotgun, but, being poor marks
men, failed in their purpose. 1t
was then decided to make short
work of the dog with dynamite.
Accordingly stick OF the explo-
slve with a cap fuse was tied to the
animals body and the fuse ignited.
The boys then ran to q place oi
safety. In their haste they had
| orgotten to secure the dog, and, to
their horror. found him chasing
after them. The dynamite was
liable to explode any moment, and
to save themselves they climbed a
tree. They were ten feet from the
ground when the dynamite ex-
ploded. The dog was blown to
atoms, and the earth dug away
from the bottom Of the tree 80
much that it toppled over. Both
boys we're struck by the flying
debris, but escaped dangerous in

GOLD IN alaska.


pert of the Geological Survey, says
there is plenty of gold in Alaska,
ana that great deal of money
could be made there if some com
pany would undertake to furnish
transportation facilities for reach
ing the mines. The Treadwell
mine. which is the only great capt.
talized mineral property in Alaska,
is one OF the most profitable in tbs
world, but that is due not SO much
to the richness of the ores as to the
practical business ability and econ
omy shown in its management.
"There are hundreds of mines in
this country" said DR.. Day, "with
much richer deposits than are found
in the Treadwel property that do
not pay at all, while that one yields
big dividends. 1t is simply mat
ter of prudent and able manage
meut. The same cap he said of
the Homestake mine at Deadwood,
which is very similar in the char
acter of its ore and in its method of
management On the Yukon
river and its branches and feeders
there ia plenty of placer gold, and
The further you go up, the better 1t
gets, but there is 40 way to reach
that country except by crossing the
mountains by foot from Sitks, or
by going mp the Yukon river in the
spring when 1t is clear of ice. A
little steamer commences running
every year about April aud makes
regular trips for the benefit OF
tourists and miners until the water
freezes up in the fall, but owing to
the rapids it is able to go but a
comparatively short distance, and
then the miners have to get capoes,
dugouts and other boats and make
the rest of the distance the best
they can. The current is swift,
the journey is slow, and attended
with great danger. The miners
carry supplies for the entire sea
son, and if they happen to meet
with an accident they are entirely
dependent upon the generosity of
others. They 60 up as early as
they can in the spring and stay as
late as they eau in the fall, but
they scarcely ever get more than
SIX months work out of the yenr.
They make good wages as a rule,
but there is great deal of luck
about it, and most of the work ia
done with 10 other facilities than
a pick and a pan. Occasionally
some proud and naughty capitalist
brings in cradle, and his name is
celehInted for enterprise all through

good deal more money. There il

Day added, "and there are leac

grant Japan the extra territorial
jurisdiction she formerly held.
2 There will be na extension
of japanese territory on the main
land of Asia, but the IslaLd OF
Formosa, the Chinese possession
Tying off the coast, will be per.
mauently ceded TO Japan.
3. The Japanese will by treaty
be granted the right to continue
the occupation of Port Arthur and

stations leading to the Gulf of Pc

Corea is a dependency of hers

5. The cash indemnity to be
paid by China will not exceed
$3.50, 100000 in gold.
The foregoing terms give a mum
ber of new features while the
cable information from Pekin and
Toxic has not thus far disclosed.
The purpose not to extend Japa-
nese territory on the mainland,
but to confine ii to the outlying
island of Formosa, assures the
conclusion of peace without Euro
pean Intervention. The mainte.
nance of japanese extra territorial
jurisdiction leaves China as the
only oriental country submitting
to the jurisdiction. Until recently
all civilized nations have insisted
that the courts we're so primitive,
and punishment so barbarous in
both China and Japan, consular
courts should protect foreigners
residing in these countries. Ja-
pan has recently negotiated a new
set of treaties with the United
States, Great Britain aud other
countries in which her modern
court procedure is recognized and
consular courts abandoned. In
conformity with this new system,
Jadan now terminates China's con-
suIar courts in Japan, although
japanese consular courts in China
are to be continued. This pre-
sents singular spectacle of
Chinas coneeding the advance OF
Japan into modern methods, while
at the same time conceding that
she is still In the benighted con-
dition requiring extra territorial
jurisdiction to protect Foreigners
in China.
Possibly the most important
concession is Japanese occupation
of Port Arthur and Wei Hal Wei
for term of years. This will as
