Como Mines Bonded.

Senator Boyle was down to Dayton
from the Comstock last week on bust
ness connected with Como properties.
He has bonded the Mount Como
group Of mines to an English com
pnny for $4,000 for six months. On
the tenth OF this month he will begin
the construction OF the tunnel spoken
OF to run from tho mill in Palmyra
canyon to the Moth Rapidan mine.
This tunnel, we believe, will DO be the
salvation OF Como. 1t will open up
new ground; will run through two
Claims OF the Mount Como group Of
mines, now bonded, and drain all the
mines in that section 80 TINT they can
be prospected and worked to a great
er depth. The North Rapidan is an
excellent piece OF property, md tho
old Mt. Como has produced agoodd deal
OF rich ore itself. All the mines have
been worked down to the water level,
and show good ore at that depth, but
the extra expense OF pumping the
water has been so great that pros
pecting below that level has never
been done. The Boyle tunnel will
drain all this ground and allow OF this
work being done toa depth OF over

Language Of FiaEs.

To strike the flag is to lower the
national colors in token Of submission,
says the School Journal.
Flags are used as the symbol Of
rank and command, the oflcers US
ing them being called flag officers.
Such flags are square, to distinguish
them from other banners.
A flag of truce is a white flag dis
played to an enemy to indicate a de.
sire for a parley or consultation. The
white fog is the sign of peace. After
a battle parties from both sides often
go out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead under the
protection OF a white flag.
Tho red flag Is a sign Of defiance,
and is often used by reyolutionists.
In our service it is a mark of danger,
aud shows a vessel to be receiving or
discharging her powder.
Tho black flag is the sign Of piracy.
The yellow flag shows a vessel to be
at quarantine. or is the sign of conta.
gious disease.
A flag at half mast means u
ing. Fishing and other vessels re-
turn with u flag Mt half mast to an
nounce the loss or death OF some OF
the men.
Dipping the flag is lowering 1t
slightly and then hosting it again to
salute a vessel or fort.

States goes afioat, the American flag
is carried in the bows of his barge OF
hoistsd at the main OF the vessel ON

A POSSE RAIDS AN ILLICIT STILL IN
 VAN BUREN COUNTY,
A Bloody Hattie Between Officers and Moonshiners Which Results in the Death Of Two of the
 Latter.

CLINTON, Ark, Ian 4-[Special. + News has just been received here of q big raid on an illicit still, located about sixteen miles from this place, which resulted in a bloody battle Wednesday night. For sometime it has been known that the still was in existence, but the spot where it was hidden was not surely known until the beginning of the week. 1t is said that the wife of one of the moon sinners gave the location of the wild eat still to the officers, though for what cause is not known.
 Sheriff H. l.. Jennings, with two deputy marshals and a big posse, started out to capture it. The off cers discovered the still hidden in a mountain gorge in an out-of-the-way place. It was running full blast, five or six meu being at work in it.
 The posse crept up 70 within a short distance of it before their pres ence was discovered. Though taken unawares, the moonshiners made q desperate fight, and for a while bull lets flew ill every direction. Putoam, the leader of the moonshiners, was shot through the head and fell dead on the ground. His nephew, a boy of 17, tumbled over, mortally wound ed. Two moonshiners were captured and one eScaDed Not one of the posse was seriously injured, though Sheriff Jennings had a narrow escape from death. 1t was one of the most sanguinarv fights with moonshiners tbat ever occurred in this part of the Ssate.

KENTUCKY SENATORSHIP
BLACKBURN WILL HAVE TO MAKE A
 FIGHT.
Brekinridge Working Hard Against Him. Great Eiyalry Between Back ner and Browu--McCreary
 Saving Wood.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 1.-The senatorial race promises to be uuus- ually interesting. Buckner and Brown have declared themselves in favor of a convention nomination. Whether this will be regarded as binding by the Legislature is a mat ter of speculation. It is generally conceded that Senator Blackburn has got to make fight. Breckin- ridge is working against him, and what makes it the more unfavorable for Blackburn is that his home eounty-the Ashland district-is where the members of the Breckin- ridge fir ise still fierce'y smoking.
 McCreary is identified less with any of the factions, and appears to be a strong factor in the race. Buck ner and Brown will enter the race, drawing from each others territory, and there is probably less good feel ing between these two candidates than exists between any of the oth- CTS.
