About the "Helio"-Phone,

It seems that Great Bend will have
a telephone system all right. The re
CURED number of subscribers are
secured in black and white, with the ex'
ception of four-and they are promised
by men whom we reasonably suppose
will need the service. Mr.. Woodward
tells us it will take about 60 days
TO get the system in, after work is
once commenced, and that work will
be begun as soon as the four more
names are secured.

Luck in Mining.

''I could have owned half of the En- terprise mine at Rico for 2O0$ if tele- gram from Denver had not announced the decision of the doctors to use the knife on my baby boy for hernia. 1 lost more than 1000 000$, but stopped the knife and my boy is healthy and rugged. !"
 These were the words of a gentleman seated with group of prospectors a few evenings ago, which led up to a number of stories relating to similar incidents, says the Durango Democrat.
 "I knew a man more fortunate than myself, however, who grasped his oppor- tunity," continued the speaker "Dave Brown of Aspen, gave prospector 75$ worth of lumber for one fourth of the Aspen mine. Brown was then a stock clerk. He is now millionaire, banker and operator"
 "lt's not always management that se- cures a fortune," ventured another of the group. "It was luck, pure and sim pie, that made Dick Swiceheimer a millionaire. He knew nothing about mining, but a miner told him to sink, and he did sink. He ran out of money several times, but others, who were in terested in learning wh tt greater depths he would encounter on Dolores noun tain, loaned various sums, and at last a lucky lottery ticket drew 40,O00$ and this money reached the ore in the Enter prise mine."
 "Yes, luck has great deal to do with it," said the third speaker Several peo- ple in Durang) had an opportunity few years ago to get into the Colum bus mine in La Platte for few dollars, when the Dutchman who located it owned it. I knew one Durango man who had good chance to buy the mine for less than 5$ the price received, who had spent twice as much in trying to find something like the Columbus"
 "Chances like these are often over looked in Durango" said another of the group. "There was little fellow down there from McQniety a couple of years ago showing some good looking ore from a claim, which he offered to trade a quarter of for a rife, and the kind of gun he wanted was selling secondhand in stores for 5$ or 6$, but the little fellow couldn't get a rife. I saw the property last tall that he offered to trade and saw some ot the ore roasted in blacksmith forge. Gold boiled out of 1t very freely and doubt if all the guns in San Juan county would buy a quarter interest in that property now"

A strange fact is told by travellers who declare that the Arabs iD the deserts of Africa have contracted violent dislike to running water, and will only drink from stagnant pools when on journeys. This has become so much a matter of habit that while the most poisonous looking water agrees with them perfectly pure, running water will in few hours make them violently sick.
 This prejudice against fresh water is common among the animals of the desert also, and is frequently acquired by Eu- ropean travellers. At first, however, when the latter drink of stagnant water it produces nausea and even fever, but when once the system becomes inured to it, running water affects them in pre- cisely the same way as it affects the Arabs

Considerable interest yet centers ID the Old Eldorado Mining District in the extreme southern part of Lincoln county. At the Marie Camp, five miles below Eldorado Canyon, the San Francisco company will soon be ready to start up it's new mill. Will c. Wallace, who was Tn the district last year, was recently in London, endeavoring to place some properties, and several conveyances from him to English parties were filed in the county recorders office here last week for record. Just what this protends, and what may i'm mediateIy follow in the way of work we do not know, but it is gen. erally admitted that gold lodges of great value exist in El Dorado and that it is only a question of time when that section will be large gold producer. The arid ness of the country, lack of population and great expense incident to outfitting has, and will for some time to come, operate to prevent anything like thorough prospecting Record

Wonderful Mirages.

The most wonderful mirages ever be- seen in the twilight winter days in North ern Alaska, says the Republic of St Louis. These remarkable ghastly pie lures of things, both imaginary and real, are mirrored on the surface of the waste plains instead of upon the clouds or in the atmosphere. Mimic lakes and water courses, fringed with vegetation, are to be seen pictured as real as life on the surface of the snow, while grassy mounds, stnmps, trees, logs, etc., which have an actual existence some place on the earth's surface, are outlined against the mountains of snow in all kinds of fantas- tic shapes. Some of these objects are distorted and magnifed into the shapes of huge, ungainly animals and reptiles of enormous proportions. The iogs and mists are driven across these waters by the winds, and, as the objects referred to oom up in the flying vapor, they appear llh0 llNluS CIcdluICoj anu bCCu1 CO OC actually moving rapidly across the plain. At other times they appear high in the air, but this is a characteristic of the northern mirages that are seen near the seashore. When the vapors and mists are driven out to sea the images mirrored
 in them appear to be lunging through the waters at a terrific rate ot speed, dashing the spray high in the air, while huge breakers roll over them and On- wards toward the mountainous islands beyond, and against which they all ap- pear to be dAshing Monstrous serpents, apparently several hundred feet long, sometimes with riders on their backs, men on horseback, thirty to fifty feet in height, animals and birds of all kinds of horrible shapes and colors, seem to be scurring past, racing and chasing each other, until they are lost in the twilight fogs or dashed to pieces upon the rocky islands mentioned above, and which are twenty miles cut at sea.

Deafness connot De Cured

Deaf ness is caused by an inf imed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is inf tmed you have a rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. deafness is the result, and unless the in fammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inf smed con- dition of the mucous surfaces

The government has shown an extra ordinary generous spirit in appropriating 2,0O0$ to buy provisions for the Yuma Indians this winter. The Mesa Free Press says the magnimity of this act will be apparent when it is remem bered that there are three thousand Indians or more on the Yuma reservation. The economy of the Indians in the matter of food is proverbial and therefore it is quite likely that 5000 of them can feast comfortably on 2,OOO$ worth of provisions until next crop time.-Exchange

Water, much as men may dislike it, is good for men to drink. It is possible to prevent many diseases and cure oth- CTS by drinking large quantities of water An eminent French physician says that typhoid fever can be washed out of the system by water. He gives his patients what would amount to eight or ten ounces an hour of sterilized water. Ex periments have been made with disease caused by bacteria which demonstrates the curative value of water In cases of cholera, where the system secretes large amount of fluid, enormous quanti- ties of bot water are of great benefit and will cure many cases without other med icines. One doctor says that perfectly sweet cider, taken Tn large quantities, has been known to cure cases of bowel complaint. The acid kills the bacteria, which are speedily thrown out of the system. Hot water in levers is of great use, and an ordinary tumb mblerful of water as hot as can be taken once an hour IS one of the very best remedies. The i'm. portant thing IS to get into the system and out of It sufficient amount of water to prevent accumulations of ptomaines and toxins within the body,-N. O Picayune.

The war between freighters hauling between Holbrook and Fort Apache has been brewing some time. A union was formed composed of all those engaged in hauling over this route, and strike or. dered against the contractors who imme- diately skirmished around for teams and men to replace the strikers. A large number were secured at Phenix and shipped in Sunday. Monday number of the horses were found to be suffering intense pain and by o'clock eight of them had succombed and several more were in a dying condition. It is sup posed that the striking teamsters admin istered a dose of poison to the animals. Meantime the strike is in force as strong as ever and trouble IS feared.-Sun- Dem ucrat.

The National Bank of California yes. terday received from the Golden Cross mine near Yuma, three bars of gold bullion aggregating 1874 ounces, and valued at 2O,O00$. This represents about a twenty days run, the dairy output of the mine averaging nearly 1,OOO$. Last months clean up netted 26,OOO$, and the preceding month, 29,OOO$ The bullion is usually shipped from the mine direct to the National Bank of California to be forwarded by the bank to San Francisco.

Senator White, ot the committee on territories SAWS.

territories, says:
 "Arizona's mineral resources need no further demonstration than the product of the mines during the last ten years. Every mining man knows that Arizona is one of the greatest mining regions in the United States. It contains large de- posits of both silver and gold, and it is especially rich in copper. In respect of minerals it lacks only in coal, but there is a good deposit ot coal in the San Car los Indian reservation, which undoubted ly will soon be brought into use. During the current year the product of Arizona's mines will establish the reputation of the territory as gold producer if any more of that character is required"

ROBBERS APPLIED TORTURE.
Vain Efforts 10 Extort Money From
an Aged Gentleman.

Hinton, w. Va, Nov. 20.--One of the
most horrible attempts ut robbery ever
perpetrated i'll this county was that of
three men last night, when they attempt.
ell to obtain money from Eli Bailinger,
who lives in the suburbs of this city.
Between 5 anu g o'clock yesterday even
ing they came to his door and knocked
and asked him for II drink of water. lie
started toward tile kitchen, which is
some distance from the main house, to
get the water, and Just as he entered the
door the three men jumped upon him
and knocked him down. Then they
bound his hands and feet and gagged him
by stufhDg n handkerchief in his mouth.
After they had securely bound the old
gentleman, they proceeded to search the
house for money, but only succeeded In
finding GO cents Becoming enraged and
believing that IA large amount was hidden
somewhe re on the premises, they told The
old man they would burn him alive un.
less he revealed the hiding place of his
treasure. He ted them that 60 cents was
positively all the money in the house, but
they did not believe him. They removed
his shoes and applied fire TO his feet in
their efforts to force him to tell. After
calmly watching him writhe in agony for
few minutes, still protesting that ne
had no more mouey, they placed the gag
back in his mouth, and unlocking the
door left him. He succeeded after seva-
raj hours in loosening his bands, and he
then gave the alarm.
Mr.. Balliuger is over so years of age,
and has lived alone for the past twenty
years lie is s critical condition, and it
is feared he cannot survive the shock
lie cannot give any description of the
rohber: except that they were white
men apd all young. The county court to-
day offered II reward of $3.50 for the cap
| ture and conviction of the robbers.
