A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN MINER.

Bloomers have brought about the
fortune of at least one woman. She
is Mrs. Arthur Rigdon of Pearl,
Idaho, who owns the" "Woman's Rights
Claim" mining ledge which has
proved bonanza.
Mrs. Rigdon is the only woman in
the, camp. The "Woman's Rights
Claim was secured by Mrs. Rigdon
by location-that is, by Stalking of. {"
This claim is 800 feet long, 600 feet
in width, and is tho most valuable
piece of property in that region.
Mrs. Rigdon secured it five years ago.
The ''croppings" were plainly visible,
and at the time there were compara-
lively few miners there.
Experts who have examined Mrs.
Rigdon's claim assert that she will be
n millionaire in q years time. The
fortunate woman miner is the widow
of British army officer. She is
highly intellectual, and has made a
thorough study OF mining. She was
left q widow seven years ago, and it

at Pearl was made after she nA., ,.i,n

"staked" she had it recorded. Then
1t was that her hard work began.
Day after day this strange woman
may be seen descending into her mine,
only to come again to the earth's sur.
face covered with dirt, but always with
face glowing with enthusiasm.
When the report was spread about
that Mr.. Rigdon was wearing ''trous.

were tho stories that passed from lip

While there is much jealousy over
the rich find in the "Woman's Rights
Claim there is at least one man who
is delighted with the widows prize.
He is known as Creeping Jim," and
was a short while ago one of the big

shot into better manners. This hap.
pened over year ago.
Mrs. Rigdon was about to lower
herself down the shaft OF her mine
when jim approached and asked per-
mission to make descent. Mrs. Rig
don consented, and the two were low
ered together. Hardly had they
reached tho bottom OF the shaft when
Jim rushed at the widow and attempted
to oyerpower her. Mrs. Rigdon al
ways carries revolver. Quick MS
flash she stepped aside, and in another
instant she had sent two bullets into
the big miner.
He dropped like an OK, one bullet
having penetrated his brain, the other
having taken effect just below the right
knee. Mrs. Rigdon was hoisted to
the surface, and later Jim was hauled
up. Since that time he has been one

It has been discovered that if q steel

substituting II cucumber for the orange.
In fact, any acid fruit may he used.
In order to make Il voltaic pile it is
only necessary to procure ten or more
pieces of zinc about an inch square, the
same number Of pieces of copper and u
like number of pieces If paper. The
paper should be thoroughly soaked in
vinegar.
First take Il piece of zinc. On it
place Il piece of vinegar soaked paper,
then put Oh Il piece Of copper, then a
piece of paper, then another zinc and
then paper. and so n until all the
pieces of zinc, copper and paper have
been used. 1t is important that Il piece
of zinc should lie Oh one end and Il piece
of copper Oh the ether. Att'r the pile is
completed again soak the whole slight

If the forcfingCr Of one hand be held
against one end and the forcfingcr of

WAGE QUESTION.

The extent of the reduction of wages
of railroad employees" said an Indian
apolis official, has been greatly exag.
gerated. The reductions were not so
general or so deep as in the year 1877.
During the recent depressed times many
of the roads made no reduction and 9th.
ers only in certain departments. On
but few roads were the wages of train
men. especially engineers, tiremen and
conductors, cut. In 1877 both the Penn
sylvania lines and the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton and Dayton reduced wages, and
restored them in about a yea During
the last three years neither of these
roads made reductions. In some cases
where reductions were made. as with
the Big Four, it is claimed that higher
wages were then being paid than by
other railways, and in the train service
and shops and offices of most Of the
roads are making as good wages. or
receive about the same salaries, as they
did four years age. AS business i'm

any reduction was made there will be

that a road loses nothing by paying its

eXaggeration as to the cutting down Of
