BIG MINING DEAL.
Valuable Ground In the La Plata Taken VI
by Minneapolis Parties.


by Minneapolis Parties.
One of the biggest mining deals made
this year in this section is being con-
summated today by contract with
Henry Nj. Johnson, of the Centennial
valley, for two and a half claims of
valuable mining property in the La
Plata mining district, says the Laramie
Boomerang. Charles johnson who is
here from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has
been the principal in conducting the
negotiations which have resulted in in
teresting monied parties of his city in
this property.
The facts have not been made
public in detail but enough has
come to the surface during
the past week to make It
quite certain that the parties who are
contracting with Henry NJ. Johnson
win construct 100000 smelter works in
the La Plata during the summer of
1898 by the terms of this deal they
are TO do the work, and they are re-
sponsible parties.
The valuable property involved in
this big deal, is some twelve miles
northwest of Centennial hill. Several
years ago, when there was considerable
prospecting in the La Plata, Henry Nj.
Johnson located the property, and as
near as could be ascertained, the vein
was from fifty TO seventy feet in width,
and extended for several miles across
the country. From forty assays taken
from the ore across the vein on MIR.
Johnsons property, the ore averaged
1913 per ton in gold, and from mill test
of two tons of the ore, averaged 50 in
gold without any sorting whatever.
Men have been at work recently rum
ming an open cut from one side of the
lead to the other and the ore taken out
has been carefully examined and has
led to the sale of the property as stated
above.
This deal has been under way for
some time, hut matters came to "A
focus today. 1t is the first big lead
deal that has been made, and people
are naturally jubilant over 1t. Other
equally as important deals are forth

Have the Lantern Ready.

A good lantern should be considered
Indispensable on the farm. 1t should be
kept in perfect order, ready for quick
use, should an emergency require its
use. 1t should have certain place
where 1t should be kept when not in
use, and never should be set aside from
Its regular place Of storing for any rea-
son when not in use.
If anything happens at the stables,
or there is an alarm at the hen house
at night, the lantern will be the first
thing needed. If it is in its place, ev-
cry member of the family knowing
where 1t is, it can soon be ready.
Quick investiga ton is therefore a
mere matter Of form under such con-
ditions. 1t would be very different,
however, where a mere haphazard
method of caring for the lantern was
observed. An alarm comes; John has
heard a great commotion among the
poultry. He hastens for the lantern /;
no one knows where it is. Tom had
seen 1t somewhere, and thought the
governor had used it last. After five
or ten minutes it is found, with no oil
in 1t, and then there Is a hunt for the
Oil can. BY the time the lantern is in
readiness for use, no knowing what
damage this unnecessary delay may
have cost

A Novel Bridge at Rouen.


Egineers are naturally interested in
the novel work which has lately been
undertaken at Rouen, France, called a
''pont transbordeur, serving all the
purposes of a bridge, while not intere-
fering with the free passage of ships,
even with those with masts $50 feet
high. Two small Eiffel towers are to
be erected-one at each bank of the
Siene, three-quarters of mile below
the lowest existing bridge at Rouen-
and narrow iron bridge will be sus-
pended by chain cables between their
heads. 1t is to be not less than 100
feet from the level of the quays, but it
is not intended either for carriages or
for foot passengers. Several lines of
rail are to be carried along it, and on
these a skeleton carriage or platform
on wheels will run; this will be
dragged from side to side of the river
by steel ropes passing over a driving
wheel, to be worked by steam or cleo
tricity from one of the banks. To the
skeleton platform will be hung, by
steel hawsers, at the level Of the quays,
or 160 feet below the bridge, the trans
bordeur "a strong carriage - within
which passengers and vehicles will be
transported from one bank to the other.
This carriage is to- be 40 feet in width
by 33 feet in length; the electric tram
ways running on the quays on both
sides of the river are to make connec-
tion at this point, and this transbor-
deur will be fitted to carry the tram
cars SO that passengers by them will
cross the river without changing their
seats.

Paris gets it's revenue chiefly from

cost of collecting which is about $2,-

brought within the Notifications Of
Paris, whether food, fuel, or building
material, is subject to these duties.
There is also tax of 10 per cent on the
amount of rent paid by each tenant,
license tax on business, window tax
and dog tax. These produce about

THE STORY of salt.

The little glass bottle of salt that
you see ON the table every day could
tell a most interesting story. 1t has
made a long journey and gone through
many changes. 1t was for long. long
Men discovered its hiding-place, and
began devising way of reaching 1t
and bringing it to the top. Probably
the salt ON your table came from the
salt-mines in the western part of the
State of New York. If you should go
there, you would find a small city, all
the people in which were interested in
the salt-works. Iron pipes run down
into the earth. Down one of these
pipes water is forced, which dissolves
the salt in the mines, and forces it into
elevated watts or tanks high above the
ground. 1t is now brine. This brine
passes first into pan that Is so hot
that the water is driven out and the
salt crystallizes. 1t is put into great
casks that hold 1000 pounds. Before
it reaches the casks, it has been classi
fed as coarse, common, and refuse
salt, according 10 the quality of the
crystals. These casks of salt are sub
jerted to another system, which separ-
ates the different quality in each case
again by process of sitting or screen
ing as you have seen men in building
a house sift the sand to get the finest
for the mortar for the bricks. The
kind Of salt that is on your table Is
ground to make it very fine, that 1t
may dissolve at once, with freedom.
when sprinkled ON or in food. When
it Is ground it Is packed in sacks by
women and girls, and shipped to the
grocers. The coarse salt Is used by
farmers and In freezing ice-cream.

The small island of Billion, between
Sumatra and Borneo, has long been
famous for it's rich tin mines, which
are controlled by the Dutch Govern
ment. In describing the geology of
Billion before the Royal Academy of
Sciences in Amsterdam recently, Mr..
Verbeek gave an account of the mys-
terious "glass balls of Billiton," which
are found among some of the tin ore
deposits. They are round, with grooy-
ed surfaces. Similar balls are occa-
sionally found in Borneo and Java, as
well as in Australia. Mr.. Verbeck
thinks they cannot be artificial, and
there are no volcanoes near enough to
support the theory that they are vol
canic bombs. Besides, he says, the
CLASSY rocks produced by the nearest
volcanoes are quite different in their
nature from the material of the balls.
He suspected that the mysterious OBJ
jects were elected, ages ago, from the
volcanoes of the moon, and afterWard
fell upon the earth.

CHAPTER VII.
After Bull Run Federals and Confed-
crates began making earnest prepara-
tions for war. The holiday was over.
There was no longer talk of go or 80
day campaign, of soldiers returning to
the farm in time to harvest the crops.
While the Federals ga.2ered on the
plains of Arlington to learn the tactics
of war the Confederates remained on
the fields where their first victory had
been won and prepared for what was to
come. There was fighting in the west.
armies were being raised and troops
moved in every direction, but we fol-
low only those which had confronted
each other on that famous field.
Organized and reorganize, drill, scout,
reconnaissance, arm and equip. In the
beginning the various companies had
been allowed to select their own officers
by ballot. After Bull Run all commits
sions came from the secretary of war;
all noncommissioned officers were duly
appointed. Duke Wyle was commits
stoned captain of the Shenandoah
guards, the second lieutenant was ad-
vanced, and the orderly sergeant was
promoted to lieutenancy. Among
those who secured brief furloughs were
Captain Wyle and Steve Brayton. The
latter reached home first. The story of
the battle was known, but the story of
the rally-the incident which had di-
rected General Jackson's attention to
Royal Kenton-was news to the people
and great surprise. Brayton had no
need to exaggerate facts to compel cheers
for the Yankee." ;" as Kenton was still
called. He told the story over and over
again, always to an interested audience,
and he always wound up with the OBJ
servation:
81 reckon yo' all know that was
agin him and kinder hoped to put on
the tar and feathers, but I've changed
my mind. Durn my hide if 1 don't
wish he was captain of our company"
: One day as he passed the Percy man
sion Marian was at the gate, seemingly
waiting for him.
81 have read of the battle and heard
a great deal of talk about it," she said,
''but would you mind telling mother
and l of the part taken by our own COM
pany? We are naturally more interest
ed in them than any other participants. "
Sitting on the veranda with mother
and daughter for an audience and using
a piece of chalk to draw rude diagram
on the boards, Steve Brayton kept them
deeply interested for an hour.
You were at first driven back?'
queried Marian when he had finished.
s'Driv right back like flock of sheep,
and thar hain't no use to deny it," he
replied.
Where were your oficers?'
"Runnin as fast as the rest of US.
''And Mr.. Kenton rallied you5"
''He did, ma am. Abner Jenkins was

was right behind him with Kenton,
and the Yankee lifts it up, waves it
about and yells for us to halt and rally"
"And did the officers rally, too?" per-
sisted Marian.
''Waal, yes, but they was purity Glow
about it. We had got the cannon and
were drawin it off afore saw any of
'em. Reckon they feel nightly cut up
over it, fur they allus said the Yankee
wouldn't stand fire."

He drelD 1Ip his nlusket and deliberately
fired to kill.
Steve Brayton was not close observ-
er, or he might have discovered secret
that afternoon. Both mother and daugh-
ter exhibited the greatest interest and
asked him many questions, and when
he took his departure he said to himself:
''Durn my hide if they wasn't more
interested than half the men!''
Two or three days later Captain Wyle
appeared, and Steve Brayton vanished.
The captain expected to create sensa-
tion, but was bitterly disappointed. Ev-
erybody was friendly, but Brayton had
told the story of the rally and put the
credit where it belonged. He had plen-
ty of excuses to urge, and his story was
quite different from Brayton's, but
somehow it failed to go. While he was
congratulated on his promotion, which
was strong evidence in itself of his good
standing with his superior officers, he
had not rallied his flying company and
led it back, and no one could be quite
satisfied with his record. On the Sec
ond evening of his arrival he called
upon the Percys. His sole reason for
returning home at that time was to
make this call. The victory which he
had helped to achieve, his promotion,
the laudatory notices he had received
in his home newspaper, all these things
went to make him believe that he would
be accorded frank welcome by mother
and daughter and that opportunity
might be given him to plead his cause.
The captains welcome was cordial
enough, and after the first salutations
conversation naIuraIIy turned 10 me
war. He took an early opportunity to
laughingly remark:
"Well, l suppose you have heard all
about our Yankee?"
TO whom do you refer, captain?"
stiffiy inquired Marian.
why, to Kenton, of course. l be-
ieve you both Iznew him? had no idea
that he could be Induced to enlist, ano
am surprised that he did not desert to
his friends before the battle opened"
Mr.. Kenton believed it his duty as
citizen of Virginia to take up arms in
her cause" replied the mother.
''And instead of deserting he seems
to have led your company to victory
quietly added Marian.
tHe was simply in the rear as we
faced about and was carried along with
the rush, ?" explained the captain.
Nevertheless lie is brave man, and
hope he is in earnest
''Why shouldn't he be?" asked the
girl.
IS Blood will tell is an old saying.
shan't be surprised to wake up some
morning and find that he has deserted
to the enemy"
You do Mr.. Kenton gross injustice!"
exclaimed Marian as her color came
and went. and her eyes looked brighter
than he had ever seen them before. II

believe that he would countenance any
thing dishonorable, and brave men are

Honest efforts make the best friend

Wisdom is the proper use of all means
at hand.
The lucky man plans well and works
to his plans.
An ounce Of conscience is worth a
to-. of explanations.
| 1t costs something to be a Christian,
but it costs more not to be.
You can silence conscience, but you
cannot take away it's frown.
Forbidden fruit in the heart causes
the logic of the head to stink.
Life is not worth living to the man
who is willing to do wrong to live.
Some churches use out of date
methods to fight an up-to-date devil.
Over confidence has slain his thou
sands, but despair has slain his ten
thousands.
The devils face may be seen without
n mask by taking look at the drunk
ards home.
The religion that is only seen on Sun
day is not the kind that is needed in
the middle of the week.
tt man who enjoys Gods peace is
the one who sought and found him
when he had no peace.
The man who .imps and stumbles
along is the first to complain when any,
body else makes misstep.
Which is the greatest transgressor,
the man who breaks the week in idle
ness, orthe Sabbath by work.
God Is as certain to help the man
who trusts in him as the sun is to send
it's light into the open window.
To rebels the state says, "Yield and
be shot," to rebels against his kingdom
God says, "Yield and be saved"
There is no argument for religion in
heaven or earth that can persuade a
man who will not give up his sins.
Some Christians are pious sponges;
only when tribulation squeezes them
the world is better because of them.
He who sows wild oats may expect to
gather chaff, as that kind of seed pro-
duces no. grain. The very straw is in
nutritious.
If an official meeting was composed
only OF those actually at work, 1T would
often be a duet between the preacher
and the janitor.
The greatest proof of the divinity of
the Christian religion is that its abuse
and mismanagement by its professors
hasn't killed it long ago.
The man who is always prating that
former times We're better than the
present deserves no credit, as he had no
hand in making them.
