OTHER GOOD CLAIMS.

Miller & Graham have six locations on lodges running parallel to these last named On one of the claims of this group, adjoining the Lost Coon. there is 30-foot tunnel, which is in fine ledge matter the entire distance and oi the same character as that encountered in the Lost Coon. It promises to de. velop into a large mine. Miller and Graham also have three gold claim' adjoining the old Banker claim, which are good prospects.
 The old Banker claim, now knowr as the Red Wing, owned by James H. Pascoe, Win. Stewart and Chas. Dick son, is the oldest location in that sec tion and one of the best. We made mention of this claim last week.
 Wm. Windsor has five claims in the same locality on which the showing i, very encouraging for the limited amount of work done.
 Ed Bowen also has several very good copper and gold claims in that vicinity on which he is doing some work.
 REGION OF GREAT PROMISE.
 Pinto creek and the country adjacent to it, including Powers gulch and Gold gulch, is believed to be one of the most promising sections of the Globe mining district, and that it has not earlier attracted the attention of min. ing men is due to the rough character of the country and consequent inac. possibility. The whole region is strongly mineralized, the lodges being large and the ore sufficiently abundant and of a grade that would pay well fol the operation of large reduction works. The proposed railroad from Phoenix to Globe would intersect this region and bring it into prominence as one oi the richest mining districts Tn South eastern Arizona.

A Three Days Dance.

What promises to be the longest ball
on record will soon be held at
Brighton, England, in the cause of
charity. It is said it will last continu.
ously for three days and three nights.
Just how this will be managed has not
yet been learned. 1t is possible, how
ever that it can be kept going by a
careful arrangement of relays of mu-
sicians and dancers who will reel off
the waltzes, mszurkas and schottlsches
one after the other. Probably short
interval will be allowed in the daytime
for rest, and then the programme re-
sumed with increased ardor.
The entertainment is to be given in
the Town Hall, and the institution to
be benefited by it is dispensarY for
the relief of the sick poor. There is
long list of titled people among the
patronesses, and it is presumed that
many members of the nobility named
will grace the occasion by their pres
ence. The Duchess of Teok is the
greatest "altesse" on the list. which
also includes the Countess of Munster,
Baroness de Worms, Lady Ellis, Lady
Pocock, and several score of the un-
titled gentry of the place. The
Lord Lieutenant of the county, the
Marquis OF Aborgavenny, is the nomi.
nal head of the affair, but whether the
authorship of the idea is his is not
stated, New York Journal.

the front and one large plume sur
rounded at the base by several small
ones completed the garniture. The
short collsrette worn with this hat was
made of rose-colored cloth embroid-

with founce of plated black chiffon
over rose -colofed taffeta.
One of my matinee girls was as chic
as possible in a smart tailor-made
frock of black broadcloth made per.
fectly plain, save for the numerous
rows of fine stitching, that showed the
tailor's art off to advantage. Her hat
was made of, dark Empire green vel
vet, trimmed with an immense bunch
of red roses resting upon her hair in
the back and couple of rich, dark
plumes on the left side of the brim.

The flower, fern and palm booth was
presided over by Mrs. Edwin Gould,
who was radiant in deep. violet vel
vet gown made with a plain skirt and
bodice that fastened on the left side
in double.bressted fashion. The top
of the bodice was filed in with black
grenadine showered with violets of
both white and purple. The sleeves
were made of shirred grenadine and
we're capped with series of tiny vel
vet puffs.
Nine. Olarovsky, wife of the Rus.
sian Consul, who was in charge of the
bric-a, brac booth, wore an exquisitely
plain tailor gown of deep blue cloth,
made with double breasted bodice.
The trimming consisted of some neat
stitching of heavy silk, and an edglng,
collar and belt of pale blue taffeta. An
illustration of this pleasing costume is
shown on this page.
Mrs. Theodore Sutro wore an ex-
tremely stylish and pretty gown that
set off to advantage her clear olive
complexion and glorious dark hair. 1t
was developed in light tan colored
corduroy with opal green velvet trim
mings. The full plain skirt fitted the
hips as smoothly as glove, and sloped
out gradually until the bottom showed
a pronounced flare. The short jacket
just covered the belt line and was out
lined IN irridescent passmenterie,
showing opalline glints and CLEANS. A
jaunty bolero, also outlined with the
opalline passmenterie, was cut away IN
picturesque lines and showed a full
front of opal green velvet jeweled
with real opals until it looked almost
Oriental in its vivid colorings. The
close-ftting collar fastened with clasp
of exquisite Eastern opals, showing
splendid restless fires within their
glowing passionate hearts. A similar
beautiful clasp fastened the belt, and
on the cuffs there were lovely opal
buttons in the form of buckles.
A small gathered opal velvet turban
was worn with this artistic gown, and
the whole effect was charming in the
extreme.

Rights Of Bicyclers.

A bicycle rider was run down and
injured by street car going in the
direction in which he was going. His
suit against the railway company to
recover damages for personal injuries
was dismissed by the lower court on
the ground that his admitted failure
to look behind him was contributory
negligence on his part.
The Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court. after reviewing the
case, decided that a person riding q
wheel must. first of all, keep good
lookout in front and on both sides;
that if this be done, the rider cannot
keep watch behind; and that to re.
auire a constant rear lookout would
amount to prohibition of bicycle rid
ing. Therefore. to say the least, the
question whether this rider was guilty
OF contributory negligence in not see
ing the oncoming car should have been
submitted to the jury. A new trial
was ordered.
The result of the new trial will in
terest several millions of persons in
the United States. The bicycle has
come to stay, and the statutes and de-
cisions relating to it's use will consti-
tute an important feature Of the law,

Just south of the Parthenon and
within easy reach of the main entrance
is the Auditorium, which is one of the
most impressive buildings on the
grounds. The intention is to use it
for the meetings of large bodies.
Many conventions which are to be held
in 1897 by various societies have de-
termined to take advantage of the
opportunity to attend the exposition
and their sessions will be held in the
Auditorium. It is also proposed to
hold parliaments similar TO those held
in Chicago during the worlds fair.
The capacity of the building is about
1000 people. The design is colonial
in form and Ionic in treatment. Four
porticos, facing the different points
of the compass, give the floor a shape
resembling short cross, except for
the circular colonnsdes connecting at
each corner, forming a desirable
promenade and restful place for weary
sight-seers, while the roof furnishes
beautiful balcony, which not only
adds to the charm of the design but
in addition affords vantage point for
the viewing of outdoor displays and
pageants. The interior dimensions
are 900 by 10 feet. The tower is 140
feet high. The architect is George W.
Thompson.
The Commercial Building is the
largest on the grounds. 1t is situated
on the western side and is also de-
signed for the display of the liberal
arts. On the roof will be garden

wide enough for our wagons to go
through, and on either side doomed

crevasse was about fifteen miles long,
and at its end. just to the right Of the

stumps of different heights and sizes.

monster tree, somewhat imbedded in
the soil. It was completely petrified.

tree was quite sixty feet in diameter.
We measured its length with q tape

limbs remained, but in the trnnk were
clefts where apparently limbs had

sides OF the trunk for distance of 100
feet or more. .-ra>-

A True Bear story.

Speaking. OF law and the enforce!
ment of discipline in YelIoHstone:!
Park, writes Charles Dudley Warner
in Harper's Magazine, I heard tne:
story of a bear there, which Iconsidei
exceedingly important not only as aS
comment on the discipline Of thes
park, but as moral lesson to parents
in domestic obedience. The story j.
literally true, and if it were notG !,
should not repeat it, for it would have
no value. Mr. Kipling says t.the leT
of the Jungle is--Obey = This also
seems to be the law wof YelloRstoneS;
Park. There is lunch station at the
Upper Basin, near Old Faithful, kept !
by very intelligent and ingenious;
man. He got acquainted last year
with she-bear, who used to come to j
his house every day and walk into the
kitchen for food for herself Sand her I;
two cubs. The cubs never came. The
keeper got on very intimate terms
with the bear, who was always OWL
and well behaved, and would take
food from his hand without taking
the hand). One day towards suaset
the bear came to the kitchen, and hay-
ing received her portion, she went ont
of the back door to carry it to her y
cubs. To her surprise and anger the
cubs were there waiting for her. She
laid down the food, and rushed at her i
infants and gave them rousing
spanking. ''She did not cuff thems;
she spanked them." and then she q
drove them back into the woods, cuff
ing them and knocking them at every
step. . When she reached the spot
where she had told them to wait. she !
left them there and returned to the
house. And there she stayed in the
kitchen for two whole hours, masking
the disobedient children wait for their
food, simply to discipline them and
teach them obedience. The explana
tion is very natural. When the bear
leaves her young in particular place !,
and goes in search of food for them,
if they stray away in her absence she
has great difficulty in finding them.
The mother knew that the safety OF
her cubs and her own peace Of mind .
depended upon strict discipline in the
family. Oh, that we had more such
mothers in the United States. :;

copy of the celebrated Athenian build
ing, which has been known for GEN.
turies as the finest piece of architec-
ture created by man. The Parthenon
was designed and completed in the
time of Pericles under the direction of
Phydias and Ictlnus. The building is
intended as permanent memorial OF
the exposition, to last after all Of the
other buildings shall have been de,
stroyed It will therefore be entirely
fireproof, with stone foundations,
concrete floors, brick walls and. steel
roof. the exterior being ornamented
in nodded staff imitation of the Athe-
nian Parthenon. Of course it is i'm
possible to make an exact replica of
the famous building IN such a short
space of time, but the building is
startingly like the original, ex-
cept for the delicate carvings on the
pediment and the interior decoration.
In front of the Parthenon will be u
statue of Pallas Athenae, now being
made in Paris, which, with its pedestal,
will be forty-three feet high. From

and other concessions. The building
measures 591 by 256 feet. The in
terrier is divided into aisles and a naee,
the former being twenty five feet wide
and tho latter forty.fve feet high.
The central pavilion is two stories in
height, the second story forming a
gallery on either side III by 100 feet,
overlooking the nave, and is reached
by four broad stsirways, one Oh each
end of the four corners. The general
style is based on the Corinthian and
Ionic orders of the Graeco Roman.
The Agricultural Building is more
on the lines of the ordinary exposi-
tion building than most of the others.
1t is the renaissance style and was de-
signed by Julius G. Zwicker. It is
800 by 200 feet in size, with magni6-
cent dome rising in the center to a
height OF 100 feet, while six minor
domes are used to balance the struc-
ture. Triumphal arches, magni6cently
executed, surmount the four en-
frances. The Agricultural Building
will be we'll lighted, as the domes are
partly of Opaque glass, while there are
numerous windows. The building is
located 80 as to show it's classical lines
and fine proportions to excellent ad'
vantage.
All of the buildings will be grouped
as closely together as possible, with
view to artistic effect without sacrifice
of convenience. An attempt will be
made, if possible. for the visitor to
travel over the whole ground in
short space OF time. The chief objec-
ton, and in fact the only one to the
worlds fair at Chicago, was that there
was too much to be seen and that the
distances to be traversed were too
magnificent. The Tennessee Centen!
NAL will be compact and an oppor-
tunity will be given for everybody to
see that which he wishes to see with
the least possible expenditure OF effort.
The amusement row at every worlds
fair since the Chicago Exposition has
been known as the Midway in honor
of the Midway Plaisance, along which
these concessions were grouped in
Chicago. But the Tennessee Centen-
NAL has found new name for the
amusement quarter. The place set
apart for them is to be called Vanity
Fair, alter the show mentioned in
"Pilgrim's Progress" which was seen
by Christian in his journey through
life. In a triangle will be erected
many of the features which were at
tract1ve at the worlds fair, with
others. Free open-air shows are pro-
posed, barkers are to have full swing,
and there are number of novelties
suggested. The Director-General has.
however, declared that there shnll be
no exhibitions which would be
offensive to anyone. Startling
novelties are promised, and the
Tennessee people say that the Vanity
Fair will eclipse the Midway in novel
ties.
