Memorial on Death of james Jordan,

At a meeting of the directors of the
Scranton Packing company. held on
Saturday, Oct. 30, 1897, the following me-
mortal was adopted:
Resolved, That in the death of Mr.
James Jordan we suffer the loss of an
able and honorable associate, a saEacious
and far-seeing adviser kindly and
sympathetic friend.
That we deplore the loss while we hon
or his memory and example.
That, as we were his companions in
business transactions, we may bear wit
ness to his conscientious adherence to the
commands given to merchants in olden
days:
BE thy rules just thy weights true;
And be thou faithful in thy covenants"
Resolved, That this memorial be in
scribed upon the records and that a
copy be sent to the bereaved family.
Let every Republican vote for as
many Republicans as he can find on
the official ballot, and stop at that!
The way to find them all is to put a
cross mark in the circle at the head
of the Republican column.

The fact that the city OF Lima Is men

once done duty there.
1t will be noticed that there are olller-
ences in the Two inscriptions. But any one
familiar with the times when the guns
we're made will know that gunmakers
we not literary men. The II erences
are due to ignorance. and it is plain that
they were intended to be what the in
scr. ption can lie dec phe:ed TO be IN good
Spanish.
These guns were not cast as cannon now
are under the Rodman theory, with the
internal cavity already in them, cooled
from the inside outward by water core,
but they were cast solid irustum OF Il
cone and afterward bored out with Dor
ing rod. The model of the gun was built
up b. wrapping long stick of wood evenly
with a rope, covering this with clay until
the model was shaped. The ornamental
ton was secured by carving the designs
on the model in wax, which was then
melted out in drying the mold OF
sand, which was subsequently packed
about the model. The metal used in these
guns is of an unknown composition.
AS to when these guns reached Cal1for-
MIA only conjecture is possible. There
we're four presidlos under the old
Spa nish regime; those of San Francisco,
Monterey, Santa Barbara and San Diego.
These were the headquarters OF the mill

at once began to boom and every body was
on the rush. Ore was taken out in
enormous Quantities, the pay ore going
in to one place and the waste being dun ped
over into the ravine where it accumulated
in great heaps.
Miss Lane was the daughter of a miner.
She knew something about m ines and dis
liking her profession of school-teaching
decided to set to work at once asserting
the waste dumps Dressed In the miners
garb Jumper, overalls, bobnailed shoes
and cap-she could be seen, day after day,
seated on a pile of rock or moving al bout
among the dumps, picking out the small
bits of pay ore that had accidentally or
otherwise fallen into the waste. Many
miner who knew her would toss her a
specimen as he ran out his car.
All this sort of work she kept up for
some time, when she decided to have a
milling. Can you imagine her surprise
when her first $500 came from the mill?
Thus inspired and encouraged she contin-
ued in the same way for an indefinite
period, at last getting permission to work
as many waste piles as she could manage.
Finally she branched ont independent
ly, and, locating mine in the vicinity,
began 10 operate it. OF course, the work
in new mine was harder than her first
experience, but she soon mastered the
trade, an can now run q wheelbarrow as
well as a man. And she is considered one
of the best prospectors in the camp.
Many are the tons of ore that she has
taken out, and it is all good pay rock. too.
for the millman told me that he would
rather have rock from her than from many
men in the camp. He said that she
knows what she is about" and can tell
pay rock when she sees it, AS for herself,
she said that she had tried everything
else, and had found mining the most con-
genial and lucrative of all occupations.
She has recently taken partner, girl
chum, and they work together.

They Are at Present Used for
Ornaments on the Parade
Grounds at Fort
Mason.

Within the area of Fort Mason, a mill
tary reservation in San Francisco. and
distributed as mere ornaments over its
grass plats, there are at present eight
cannon whose singular pattern, foreign
origin and great age make them the most
remarkable relics within the State Of Cali
fornia, as they are believed to be the old
est guns in the United States.
OF these guns six are large fertilization
pieces and two are small, for field uses.
The years of the casting of the larger ones
are in raised letters upon the breeches an
these show that their manufacture be-
longs to the seventeenth century, the Old
est gun having been cast in 1873 the
youngest in 1893
Tradition about the fort has it that
these pieces of ordnance were made in old
Spain. They were certainly brought to
California TO fortify the Preside of San
Francisco in behalf of, the Spanish King
years before the despised Yankee invaded
the region and began to shape affairs in a
fashion which led to the merging of the
political power into that of his great
nation east of the Rockies. That they are

names and words upon their surfaces,
while the dilettante in heraldry might find
lasting entertainment in locating the
houses to whom belong the armorlal bear
ings which form so conspicuous a feature
of the elaborate ornamentation with
which each OF the weapons is adorned.
1t is unfortunate t hat the authentic his
tory of the guns lies enveloped in dark
ness. The officers longest at the fort know
nothing of them. They say only "that
they were here when we came" and that
is all. Records, data of their past, there
appears to be none; and movement 10
send them to the Government museum in
Washington has been given setback be-
cause the department refuses 10 admit
them until some historical inform alton
concerning them has been secured.
How this is to be attained there is no
telling. To identity the arms upon the
guns, to effect translation of seemingly
mystical words in old Spanish. to read
through musty archives telling of the

arrival OF this gun or that, to follow them
perhaps into Mexico or Peru, would re-
uure an appropriation larger than Con-
eress pledged to economy would be will
ing TO make. The Likelihood is that the
guns will continue clouded by the obscur-
itv concerning their past, which however
dense we know to be as strange as the
curious relief which is EN- bossed upon their
exteriors.
The six large guns are of bronze; they
average 1900 pounds in weight, have g.
inch bore and throw N-pound ball.
They were smooth bore, for the rotary or
rifle bore was not introduced until after
1883. and they could send ball with GER
tainty OF aim about 1000 yards, or four
times as far as could a smooth-bore mus
ket. They are from 10 TO IL feet long,
their great elongation of muzzle being due
to the erroneous idea then prevalent
among gun founders that the THROWING g.
power of the piece wa, increased by the
length of the bore.
That these cannon were regarded as OBJ
jects of importance and distinction
amounting almost to veneration may be
told not alone from the ornate embellish-
ment which spreads from vent to mouth
nor to the coats of arms have mentioned,
but from the fact that they each bear the
name of some city or eminent person, or
of some saint. We can fancy the casting
of these guns under the Offices of the
church, their mounting beneath the bless
ings of the priest. They were consecrated
as instruments tremendous in the defense
of his Most Catholic Majesty and of the
holy church. Among these names the
Sans predominant. There is the San
Francisco, which now is mounted upon
an old naval carriage, looking from dis
lance as ominous as a krupp gun, it's
mouth open toward the bay which bears
its name. There is the San Pedro, the
San Domingo, the San Martin, while only
two are given the presumably non-ecclesi-
astcal names of Labirgent Barbaneda and
Poder.
There are two coats Of arms upon each
of the guns; the one on the breech is
believed to be that OF the reigning family

One Woman Who
Works a Gold Mine

WOlh SOlO JIiiAS
During a visit to Nevada not long ago l
met young lady OF an exceptional turn
of mind, and, upon closer acquaintance
with her, learned many curious facts con-
corning her history. She is one of the
leaders of the four hundred of Silver City,
a prosperous mining town OF Nevada, and
while her early education was directed
along pedagogical lines her natural bent
made itself felt while she was still very
young woman.
She had welded the birch in a number
OF district schools. but teachers life did
not satisfy her; she had learned the dress
makers trade, but the monotonous days
of seamstresS held out few attractio
for one of her peculiar disposition. In
fact nothing in the line of woman's work
was found congenial. and it was singu.
lar coincidence that led to the discovery
of her life occupation-mining.
