THE FUNERAL OF BAT SHEA
THERE VAS 4 LARGE ATTENDANCE
 AT HOUSE AND CHURCH,
Vicar General Swift Ofiiciated at the Mass and Said That the Ending of Shea Was Lesson to All Young Men.


 Troy, N. r., Feb. 13.-The funeral of Bartholomew Shea occurred this morn- ing from the family residence on River street and later from St. Patrick's church. Vicar General Swift of1iciated and at the close of the high mass spoke briefly on Shea.
 There was a very large attendance of friends at the house and church. When the mass was finished Father Swift said Shea's early life did not represent the sentiment of the church's teachings; that he was not faithful to the laws of God. The remains were brought to the church that Shea's soul might have the benefit of prayers. The priest declared that whatever may have been a mans transgressions if he repented in sincerity those prayers should repose the soul; that Shea had paid the debt of human justice wheth- CT innocent of guilty, and that Shea himself did not know whether or not he was guilty of the crime.
 "If he was guilty said Father Swift, 'I do not believe he was conscious of it."
 The priest declared that Shea's ending was due to the latter having forgotten the instructions of the Roman Catholic church and was a lesson to all young men.
 The remains were buried i'm St. Peters cemetery.

PETER MAHER'S EYES BAD
ITS CONTEST WITH FITZSTMMONS
 MILL NOT TAKE PLACE.
It is Impossible for Him to Make Decent Appearance in the Ring--There is No Chance for a Fight for at Least a Week.


 El Paso, Feb. 1S.-The Fitzsimmons- Maher. contest will not be pulled off to- morrow, as Peter Maher is suffering from an affliction of the eyes that would make it impossible for him to put up a decent showing in the ring.
 About week ago, while taking a spin at Las Cruces, several particles of sand were blown into his left eye and later, while kicking football in hi; tent, a quantity of dust was knocked from the roof into the same optic.
 The next day inflammation set in and the services of a doctor were secured. The trouble refused to yield to treat ment, and couple of days ago the right eye also became affected. To-day word was received at headquarters that Ma her was in bad shape. Telegrams were sent to Las Cruce urging to come here. He arrived at o'clock tonight and went to the office of pr. s. T. White, the leading occulist.
 After a thorough examination Dr. White decide dthat Maher was suffer ing from an aggravated case of ophthal- mia, caused by allxali dust entering the eyelids. Dr. White said that Mahei might be able to get into the ring in three days, but it would be better tc allow himself week. He prescribed a wash of sulphate of zinc and atrophia and advised Maher to keep away from the sunlight. Afterwards Joe Vendig Maher's backer designated "Buck Connolly Of Pittsburg, as his represen- tative, and the latter and Julian went into conference with Dan Stuart. The conference lasted for an hour and at it's conclusion it was announced that the fight would remain in statu quo until Monday, pending which Julian would make no claim for forfeit in behalf of : Fitzsimmons.
 Maher's eyes are badly swollen. There is continuous discharge and the eye balls are dotted with white spots The opinion tonight is that the fight is off for good, and many out Of town sports are getting ready for departure.
 No attempt will be made to bring off any of the minor fights until the big affair is settled.

smoke stacks, are seen scattered over
the mountains, and big four-horse Wag
ons travel from daylight until dark
up and down the valley with loads of
silver ore. In going up to the mine you
pass here and there enormous bins or
square buildings, into which the ore,
dragged from the bowels of the earth,
is emptied, preparatory to loading it
on the wagon. These buildings have
many mouths or holes at the bottom,
so arranged that, by the lifting of a
board, they can be opened and the ore
will fall down into the wagons on the
road below. You pass boarding houses
devoted to the feeding of the army OF
men in the mines, and go on until you
reach the big, barn-like shaft houses.
They seem to be rudely built, and you
would never imagine that they repre-
sent a product of $50 900, 900. They con-
tain, however, little more than the
hosting machinery. The real work
shops of any mine are underground.
HOW A GREAT MINE LOOKS.
But let me give you in simple words
Eome idea of this enormous silver mine.
When discovered, it was, you know.
merry mountain of rock, through one
part of which ran a little streak which
the prospectors thought carried ore
values. They broke some of the rock
In pieces. 1t looked not much different
from any piece of broken granite which
you might pick up on the roadside. but
to their experienced eyes it contained
silver. They laid out their claim and
dug a shaft or we'll. They found the
prospects grow richer as they went
downward and at last the hole was
sold to Senator Hearst, Lloyd Tevis, ].
b. Haggin and other millionaires, who
PUT in expensive machinery to get the
ore out. This was almost twenty years
ago. and 1t has in that time produced
the enormous amount of silver above
stated. These men took the well or
hole made by the prospectors and they
have sunk it more than 1900 feet down
through that mountain of rock They
have made of 1t what is known as the
shaft, which is little more than a hole
walled with boards five feet wide and
fourteen feet long, running for more
than mile straight down into the
earth. This shaft was sunk beside the
vein of silver rock, and at intervals of
100 feet on the way downward they
have run off tunnels into the vein and
have taken out the ore Each of these
tunnels Is from four to six feet wide.
and from six to nine feet high. 1t is
walled and rooted with timbers. Logs
as big around as your waist are braced
by the walls against the roof to keep
the dirt and rock from coming down
upon you as you go through them.
From these tunnels the miners have
worked upward along the vein. dig
ging out great caves and rooms In the
mountain, all of which have to be
walled and rooted with logs and so
braced that there may be no danger of
their caving in. A good idea of a silver
mine might be gotten from a big New
York apartment house. Take the On
tario. for instance The mine has fif.
teen stories. each 100 feet in height.
and the shaft contains en- elevator
which an immense steam engine raises
and lowers, carrying the ore and the
men from story to story. At each story
the tunnels run off through the vein

HOW SILVER Is MINED.


Copyrighted, 1896, by Frank G. Carpeter)
PARKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 10.-I
have come to Parke City to tell you
how silver is gotten out of the earth.
This is one of the worlds great treas
ure vaults of the white metal. 1t is
the site of the Ontario mine. which is
the biggest silver mine in the United
States. and which is said to be the
biggest working mine in the
world today. The Ontario has already
produced more than $50, 900 worth
of silver, and it has paid its owners
more than $13, 600, 900 in dividends. For
the past two years it has been putting
in very expensive improvements, and,
owing to this and to the demonetiza-
ton of silver, the dividends have
dropped. but [ am told that it will pay
more than 10 per cent this year, and its
silver deposits are still of incalculable
value. Connected with the Ontario is
the great DAILY mine, whose dividends
have amounted to between two and
three million dollars, and near 1T is the
Daly-West mine, now just about ready
for working. and other mines which
have large deposits of silver.
OUR BIGGEST SILVER CAMP
You reach Parke City by a branch of
the Union Pacific. 1t is situated in the
Wasatch mountains, just about a mile
and a half above the sea. and within
thirty-two miles of Salt Lake City. The
town has about 1000 inhabitants. 1t
lies along both sides of a gulch, and it's
main street is filled with dust in the
summer and mud in the winter. All
around it are silver mines and the
town lives upon silver In it's palmiest
days its pay roll has amounted to mill
ions a year, and the Ontario mine alone
pays out now more than 100000 an
nually in wages. The Ontario proper
~ is situated just back of the city.
When the mine was discovered its sur
roundings were those of bleak, bare
and desolate hills. Now immense

the water falling, falling, as 1t comes
