MAYOR o. hlNa.s ISLAND.
Death OF an Odd Character Who Wi
Well Known In Missouri


Death OF an Odd Character Who Was
Well Known In Missouri
Jack Ring, known for quarter Of a
century es the mayor Of Rings Island,
died recently at his home in the middle
Of the river, south Of st. Joseph, Mo-,
says the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch. He
was the ruler of the settlement known
es Rings Island, and exercised control
over nl the inha bitants. At one time
he owned greater part of the island
and only leased the houses, but he met
with rcverses and lost all his property.
He died in a ,wretched hovel, sur
rounded by every evidence of poverty.
Ring swas one of the most daring
characters ever known in the west. He
was an expert swimmer, and in the
last ten years has saved hundreds Of
people from drowning in the river.
Scores of people who have jumped from
the bridge with suicidal intent have
been dragged out of the water by Ring,
whose home was in sight of the bridge.
In his boat he carried hook, which he
fastened in the clothes of would-6e sur
cides, while he towed them to the
shore. This method was employed
when he recovered dead bodies from
the river, and few Of them Aoated by
the island unseen by Ring. The popu-
lation OF the island is made up OF Grim
Z inal classes Of the lowest kind The
island is under the control Of the city,
and is patrolled by the police, but there
have been times when 1t was danger
Gus for officers Of the law to venture
upon it except in large numbers. Ring
was not criminal. but he associated
with them, and could control them far
better than the police
One of Rings most daring feats was
to climb to the top of the highest church
steeple in the city and hang head down
ward for an hour. He frequently swan
the river when the stream was so high
that nc other swimmer would venture
into it. Last winter he went into the
stream when it was full OF floating ice
and rescued German collarmaker who
had plunged from the bridge to die.
Ring, dragged the man by the hair,
lodged the floating ice, and landed him
nearly mile below the bridge, The

later by taking poison. Ring was OF
small stature and his head was far be-
low the medium size. He had no edu-
cation and was not fluent taiker, but
it has been admitted for years that he
possessed a strange influence over the
criminals and desperate characters
with whom he came in contact. Ring
had never heard of hvnnotisnn. and had
no name for the peculiar power he pos
sessed. A false charge Of larceny was
once made against Ring by an officer
who was probably envious of the little
mans power to control the reckless
toughs on the island, and he was ar
raigned before magistrate. Scores of
the reckless characters from the island
and other places attended the trial,
and had Ring not been vindicated there
would doubtless have been bloodshed
in the courtroom.

It is worthy of note that the Chinese
very, very long ago Matched out their
ducks by artificial heat, and the incu-
bators that seem SO wonderful to MS
at the poultry shows and country fairs
were an old story in the east long be-
fore our rgreat-grandfathers were born.
1t is likely, says Harper's Weekly, that
we got the domesticated duck from
China, SO long ago that we know not
when, and the writers on natural his
tory content themselves with telling
US that it is derived from the mallard,
mixed in some cases with the musk
duck and the gadwall, and perhaps
the black duck. The domestication of
the duck has had an effect the oppo-
site of that usually produced by civili-
zation on man, for the mallard is strict
ly Homogeneous. Waterton the nat
uralist assures US, indeed, that the wild
duck is most faithful husband, and
remains paired for life, while the
domestic drake is most notoriously po-
lyCamous.

NO ACTION TAKEN.

The territorial loan commission met yesterday morning in the office of the governor.
 The meeting was called for the pur- pose of hearing the argument of T. w. Johnston of Prescott, who repre- sents the owners of the Prescott & Arizona Central railway bonds. The bonds, 213 in number, are of the face value of $1 900 each. MT. Johnston re- quested the commission to issue terri torial bonds in place of the old P. & A. c. bonds, to run fifty years at per cent interest. The request was based on the provisions of the territorial funding act of 1890
 Although quorum was present, the commission deferred action in the matter under the plea of taking it un- der advisement Alfred Franklin secretary of the loan commission, is at present absent from the city, and no further action will probably be taken until his return.

BLACK JACKS ESCAPE.

Black Jack'' visited the Holming brothers ranch the other day and told a story of the fight at Deer Creek, which varies slightly from the one told by the officers. It was Black Jack himself, not Jeff, Davis. who was riding with Bob Hayes. When the shooting commenced his horse began to buck and his pistol flew out Of his holster. Then his horse was shot and fell on his Winchester. He turned the horse over, got the gun and then ran and hid behind cactus, The of ficers hunted for him and at one time were within twenty feet of him, but failed to see him. When they aban- doned the hunt he gracefully retired
 He was not hit by a bullet He was riding a Diamond A horse when at Holming's ranch.-Lordsburg Liberal

trouble in a short time between the sheep and cattlemen.

As a result there is considerable feel ing and a meeting of stocEmen has been called to take place at Craig on Thursday.

MINING IN MOHAVE.
This County Is Marvelous1y Rich in
 Gold and Silver

Mohave county, traversed by the Atlantic & Pacific railroad. has an area of 12,000 square miles. Tie United States mint report for the year 1893, in the chapter on Arizona, says:
 ''The yield of silver was more than double that of the year 1892. This came almost all from the White Hills district of Mohave county. The indications are that there will be still greater increase in the year 1894, as it is not likely that the price of silver can drop low enough to make such rich ores unnroftahIe. In all other sections of the territory silver mining may be said to be at stand still
 In this country, besides the White Hills district, there are a number of companies operating gold and silver properties and placers, quite number of such properties being leased by "chloriders'' on royalty. Along the banks of the Colorado river and in the canyons of the Cerbat and Black
 mountains are considerable areas of placer ground only needing water, or 'ohlO iA4A1o Ol uAy ludCHjotS, WHICH dispensing with water, will save the gold, if such a machine is feasible.
