a Rexolutionary Eagle.

Eagles are not so scarce in this state
as is generally believed. It is said
that there are hundreds Of the great
birds in the Highlands near West Point,
but though the matter of .hundreds''
may be doubted, the fact remains that
there are many. Among these is one
old fellow that lives on Turks Head
above Garrison. He dates from revolu-
tionary days, and still bears scar
made by British bullet. John Dom
oboe, whose father and grandfather
passed their lives in Garrison, has FREE
quently seen him. His habit of flying
sideways and the peculiar swoop of his
right wing makes him an easily recog
nized object. This droop was caused
by the. shot of British soldier who,
while passing up the Hudson on man
of-war, was ordered by his captain to
shoot the eagle as it scared quite dis
lance aloft The soldiers marksman-
ship was good, but it cost him his life.
A band Of patriots, hidden in the rocks,
saw the deed, and, as the ship lay well
toward the shore, their volley killed the
sharpshooter. The wounded eagle was
cured for by the patriot Buffalo TX
press.

RAYS TO FIND 6oLD.


Use OF the Light Missy He Valuable n
Mining Operations.
The miner who starts to the Kloadikd
without finding out whether or not tho
x rays can be made use Of in laying
out his claims and searching the land
and gravel beds, may miss fortune.
It will be all that thousands Of men
can do to reach this region with enough
food, clothes and ordinary mining TOOLS
but there are scientists who bellows.
the x rays may be made to revolutioni7o
gold mining in this region before an
other year has passed. .s
Nikola Tesla is one of the higheAt
authorities in the world on the Xray1
and its possibilities. He has often
given it as his opinion that mountains
can be photographed with this new
light, and that gold mines will be-
found with as much precision in tho
earth as bullet or needle is now
located in 3 persons body. He was
asked for his opinion on the value ok
the Z ray in gold mining in the Non-
dixie. He said such mining was not
only possible, but perhaps practical,
though at this moment to limited
extent. -
! ''Some of the x rays" said he, ''are
without limit as to length and radi-
ography. They are limited now be-
cause of our almost toy apparatus for
producing them. Our instruments In
the present state of electrical devel-
opment have generated rays only .
few feet in length at best, but we know
that they can be made longer. 1t is q
question of tubes and currents, and
at any moment we may find q way for
producing rays that will penetrate
stone walls and hills and mountains,
not to speak of the earth itself, which
is certainly a possibility. The K rays,
however, could be made valuable now
in searching small beds of sand and
gravel that have been thrown up by Z
shovel for Washing"
DR.. s. 81. Emmons, of New York, 4
noted metallurgist and electrician, who
is an authority on the x rays,
said they could undoubtedly bo
used with great advantage in tho
Klondike. He has in his office
q AoAAOSAoPA VI q P1OSS " 'Au0A -
showing gold imbedded in the center
of the rock and concealed from the
naked eye. This Photograph shows most
clearly the black spots of gold in the
gray quartz. Said he:
''The x ray could now be used to
great advantage in the sand and gravel
beds in placer mining. For, instance,
these beds could be thrown up in shall
low ridges and mounds here and there,
and by the aid of the rays from one
side the miner with his screen could
search this sand and gravel and esti-
mate whether or not it was worth
washing. Along the creek and river
banks this sand and gravel could be
piled in ridges, and as the miner
searched he could make great Roadway
with his washings, taking off with a
certainty only the richest dirt. have
no doubt an immense amount of labor
could be saved and great deal more
gold could be mined."-N. Y. Journal

Narrow Escape.

The tenement house of Frank Drow-
skowski, at Little Falls was totally
destroyed by fire, with all the contents.
The occupants of the building had a
narrow escape and were carried out in
their night clothes. The families
burned out are those of Peter Miller,
Frank Kenopkic, John Drowskowski,
Peter Kenopkic. Their loss on the
building is $1,000, partially insured.
The fire is supposed to be of incendiary
origin.

Gold at Duluth.

Gus Schroeder, a Duluth policeman
who was let out the first of the month
as result of the mayors policy of re-
trenchment, is prospecting for gold
within the city limits, and he has al
ready found color. He is an old miner
and believes he has found a quartz
vein bearing gold in paying quantities.
Recently he crushed out a small piece
of ore and he was rewarded by several
specks of gold. He also says that he
has good reason to believe there is a
placer mining field in the city.

RULES IN LAUREL COUNTY.
ssB1E Liz" Vaughn a Terror to tn
Eastern Kentucky Officers.

s'BfE Liz" Vaughn Terror to the
Eastern Kentucky Officers.
Down in the eastern part of Kentucky
folks tremble when they speak about
big Liz" Vaugn. Peace officers and
town authorities steer clear of her, and
she sort of runs things in Laurel coun-
ty, where she lives on a farm. Liz is
a trifle over six feet in height and
weighs 225 pounds, which is pretty fair
for a woman in that part of the coun-
try. She has a large family, some of
her children being married. She rules
not only the entire crowd, but also the
neighbors and all the surrounding
territory pretty much as she pleases.
One thing which helps to make peo-
pie bit shy about crossing Mrs.
Vaughn's path when she is looking for
trouble is that she has big knife which
she calls ABE Lincoln" She knows
how to use it, as many past experiences
have proven, and is not afraid to cut
loose when occasion offers. A few
years ago her husband got mixed up
with party of eight or ten neighbors
on the farm and they began to beat
him up, but Liz was there with ABE
Lincoln" and when the marauders saw
it flashing they cleared out in a hurry.
The escapade which brought Mrs.
Vaughn the most fame, however, was
the killing of her son-in-law, Cortez
Brown, this spring. Brown had been
hanging around the place drunk and
disorderiy for long time and annoying
his wife, who had taken refuge with
her mother. Mrs. Vaughn finally
warned him to keep away or she would
shoot him. He did not have the same
wholesome fear of his mother-in-law
that the rest of he'folks exhibit and
tried to force his way into the house.
Big Liz filled him up with 44-caliber
bullets and he died on the doorstep.
The body lay in the dooryard for ten
hours before anyone dared to enter
to remove it. Finally the coroner ar
rived and took charge of it. Mrs.
Vaughn is comparatively young wom-
an, but old enough to take care of her
self. Chicago Chronicle.

Grain Business.

For the crop year ending Aug. 81,
Minneapolis made an excellent record,
receiving 81, so5,740 bushels of wheat
and grinding in harmills Is, 500. 600 bar
rels of flour, the equivalent Of nearly
60,00O,00 bushels of wheat actually
ground in the Minneapolis mills. The
business in coarse grains reached 49,
000,0 bushels, as against Q, 500, 900 the
previous year, the increase being due
in large part to a partial adjustment
of rates in lieu of previous discrimina-
ton against that market. Duluth

MIR. l.. P. SMITH-Dear Sir: On our
arrival in Charleston ahead of schedule
time, after a most delightfully."- pleasant
trip from the mountains, I felt like call
ing out to the crowd, '"Three cheers for
Capt. Smith," and was restrained only by
the fact that it might seem too undigni6ed
in a minister. Not yielding to that i'm
pulse, Ifeel that I must express in writing
my great qualification in being permitted
to enjoy such an excursion as you gave
from Greenville to Charleston, and around
the grand historic Charleston harbor.
Having tried a number of eIcursions
which were dreadful I naturally dreaded
this one, but to my surprise everything
was conducted in the best way plenty Of
room, good water, and most wonderfully
orderly crowd all the way. Hereafter if
an excursion is advertised, all that will
be necessary to attract and interest me
will be to know that Capt. L. P. Smith Is
the manager of it, and great will be the
difficulty to keep me at home. So be
sure always to let me know of your pro-
posed trips, and I will heartily commend
them to every one, from the most conse-
Grated minister to the most modest and
retiring lady.
Yours truly
