III. I'll. ARTZ'S ZINC HOLE.
That is the Mineral That He Claims
He Finds There.

At last General H. H. Artz's coal hole
out in TregO county has proved a DO
nanza, for he has struck 1t rich IN
zinc. Nearly all last winter the ex-
adjutant general was working on some
land in TregO county along the south
banks of the Smoky Hill river When
questioned closely he would say that
he was looking for coal. But the facts
in the case are that he was prospect
ing for zinc, and now he is enthusiasts
tic over his find. A strong company
has been formed to work mines there,
and over 1000 acres have been secured
by the company by lease.
The hole which General Artz dug is
120 feet deep and five feet in diameter.
1.-The deeper I got'' said Mr.. Artz, to
a State Journal reporter, the richer
the ore was in zinc. Down near the
bottom of the shaft the ore yields IS $40
per cent pure zinc, and there is con-
siderable gold and silver along with it.
One good thing about it is that there
is no sulphur and iron in the ore, so
that it does not require roasting"
The company which has been form
ed is called the Smoky Hill Zinc Min
ing company" and F. J. Kellogg of this
city, is the president. The reason for
keeping quiet about the prospecting
out there was that at that time the
company had not secured a lease on the
land. But now 1,500 acres right in the
vicinity of the prospecting hole are
owned by the company, and 1000 acres
are under lease to the company.
Assays made of the ore made at diff
ferent depths show a zinc deposit of
from % per cent, which is from a. few
feet below the surface of the ground,
to So $40 per cent at a depth of 800
feet. The ore gets richer as you go
down." said Mr.. Artz, and I expect to
find it increasing in richness as we go
down farther until we strike bed rock
Yes, and I wouldn't be a bit sur
prised if you would find plenty of gold
down by that bed rock" said r. G.
Martin, who is interested in the COM
pany.
Mr.. Artz will go out to Trego county
in a few weeks to make further pros
pecting, and to arrange for the smeIt-
ing of the ore. III tell you said the
ex-adjutant general, "a fellow works
awfully hard when he is mining, but
believe I would as soon mine as any
other business I know Of Out there
our shaft is perfectly dry. Some of
these holes fill up with water as soon
as they have gone down 20 feet, but
ours is as dry as punk. When fellow
is working down in a shaft and he sees
rich ore he would rather look at it in
the ore than made into a $50 gold
piece We worked hard, and lots of
times over time. We would get excited
when we struck good lot of ore, and
lots of times I would come out of the
shaft wet with perspiration."

THE 0UEEN NEAR DANGER.
Runaway Team just Ahead Of Her
and Fire in the Palace.

London, July 22.-As the royal pro-
cessiOn was leaving Windsor Castle for
the railway station the horses attach
ed to the carriage preceding the one
in which the queen rode and which bore
her majesty's Indian attendants bOlted
and overturned the carriage. The dr1-
yer and one of the queens attendants
were badly hurt. The queens carriage
followed quietly.
Her majesty was much perturbed by
the accident and asked more particu-
larly as to the condition of the men
who had been hurt. There was no
from Windsor Castle to PaddingtOn-
Arriving at the latter station the queen
walked to her carriage with slight as
sistance from an attendant. She ap-
peared to be in good health She was
dressed in black Having been seated
in an open landau, her majesty was
driven to Marlborough house, where
she made a brief stay and viewed the
wedding presents, after which she pro-
ceeded to Buckingham palace.
A good deal of excitement was cauS-
ed for a short time this evening by
some curtains and other drapery in a
room in the fourth story of the Buck
ingham palace becoming ignited by
some cause Quite an ugly looking
blaze sprang up and an alarm was
turned in which brought the fire en-
gines and the fire escapes to the scene.
The fire, however, proved to be trivial
and was soon quenched. The queen
everything possible was done to keep
her majesty from being further per-
turbed after her experience wit

CYCLISTS SCARED HIM.
a Nebraska Marshal Was Going tt
Shoot Them for 0HoIIering.'

Omaha, July 22.-About 40 members
of the Commercial Law league accept
ed the invitation of the several cycling
clubs of the city and made the run to
Florence, a suburban town, on wheels
last evening. Accompanying the Wis
itOrs were about 200 local wheelmen.
AS the big aggregation started back
the lawyers yell was given. At once
the village marshal called an assist
ant, and with drawn revolvers, at
tempted to arrest two citizens. Both
dignitaries stood in the road with drawn
revOlvers.
If they don't stop, shoot 'em down, -
was the marshals order. The boys
stopped and at that moment the main
body of wheelmen arrived Exp1ana-
lions were demanded and the marshal
gave it out that the two young men
had been arrested for ''hOlIering'' on
the street.
The Omaha wheelmen protested
against the arrest of two members of
the party upon charge so trivial in
nature. The marshal becoming fright
ened, again drew his revolver and
started for the jail. Before he had pro-
ceeded ten feet he was surrounded by
100 Omaha wheelmen and all the Wis
iting lawyers who demanded the pris-
OnerSA release under pain of causing
trouble. He was as badly a frightened
individual as ever dOnned tin star.
He released his prisoners and they
Immediately started for Omaha, amid
the cheers of the visiting lawyers.

AMONG RAILROAD men.
Owing to Reduced Corn Rates
Freight Traffic
Has Suddenly Grown Heavier
Within Last IS Hours.
Items of Interest About Kansas Rail
road Matters and
Miscellaneous.

As a result of the reduced corn rates,
coupled with the fact that this years
corn crop is now assured, freight traf-
fc on Kansas railroads has suddenly
grown heavier during the past two
days. Along the lines of the Santa F'e
and Rock Island farmers are hauling
their corn to the stations, and each sta
ton is filling all the box cars that can
be provided. If the shipments continue
to increase, q. car famine is inevitable.
During the past two days the Santa
Fe handled over 100 cars daily on the
eastern division. The demand today
was for 200 cars. The grain is being
shipped principally to the Kansas City
and Chicago markets. In this city but
few orders have been loaded so far, the
greatest demand for cars coming from
points on the EmpOria and NJ. A. & 3.
branches.
If the corn shipments continue, as
there is promise of now, it will mean
much to the Kansas railroad men. For
months the freight traffic has been ex-
tremely light, and engine, train and
shop men have suffered in consequence.
President Ripley of the Santa Fe once
stated that if even a portion of the corn
stored in Kansas would move it would
be sufficient to place the railroads on a
prosperous basis

BRYAN VS.. DUREIN.
Has a Suit for Ten Acres in Oak
land.

The case in which VIM. H. Bryan, a
cOlOred man afflicted with "epelectric'
fits is suing Frank Durein and his
agent named Lessman for a deed to
ten acres of land in Oakland, has been
heard in the district court and decided
in favor of the defendant.
According to the old cOIored mans
story he agreed to buy 20 acres of
Durein and pay him $50 an acre and in
terest for it.
1t seems to have been simply a YER
bal agreement and no deed was given,
but Bryan says he was to have had
all the time he wanted.
This was in 1884 After having paid
$500 Bryan concluded that the land
wasn't as good as it ought to be and
decided that he would take only ten
acres of it. He had already paid for
more than half of the 20 acres, but
Durein would not give him the deed
saying he would sell nothing less than
the 20. Neither would he give any
money back and put Bryan off the
place.
Judge Hazen gave Durein the case.

HANNA'S BADP0LITICS.
II. C. Payne, Whom He Selected for
Manager, Opposed the Milwau-

Chicago, July 22.-The selection of
Henry c. Payne of Milwaukee as COM
mander of NcKinley's western forces
may prove a decidedly bad stroke of
politics. It was Payne who led the
fight against the Milwaukee street car
strikers, and the man who was instru-
mental in keeping the street car mo-
nopoIy firm against the Iaboriug men.
The strike resulted in several serious
riots and for month completely para
lyzed the business of the Cream City.
Organized labor of Wisconsin and
Chicago is greatly opposed to Payne's
having any hand in the coming cam
paign It was stated today that a
number of the most prominent labor
organizations in Chicago We're prepar-
ing a joint memorial to Chairman Han
ma, requesting that Payne be displaced.

Besides the new hospital at the cor

ton in Topeka. This hospital was es
tabIished years before the new hOspi-
tai was ever thought of; in fact, it has
been in operation since the completion
is known as the Back shop" and the
patients enrolled are the crippled and
disabled locomotives which are unfit for
use either as the result of Overwork or
injury
In connection with the hospital is
what is known as the hospital track, -
where the locomotives are placed await
ing entrance into the hospital There
Iapidated engines are placed for inspec-
ton. If any sign of life, or. more
properly speaking, usefulness, is dis
covered the engines are sent to the
hospital for treatment. If not, they
are shipped to the cemetery, or scrsp
pile, and disappear forever.

Will Fill Yoakum's Place on the San
ia Fe in Texas.

Mr. P. T Downs. superintendent of

Downs stated that Mr.. L. J. Polk, at

road, had been officially notified OF his
appointment as general manager to
succeed B. F. Yoakum, and that the
appointment would become effective in
a few days Mr.. Yoakum will then

Effective on the same date as the
appointment of Mr.. Polk, Mr.. Downs
will be appointed acting general super
intendent, probably retaining his pres

general manager, but this change is
probably made from the fact that Mr..
Polk is more of traffic than an Oper-
ating man. The appointments will
probably be made permanent at the
