Injured at Barker.

Henry Metivier of Barker was brought
to Neihart Wednesday and left in Belt
Mountain Hospital to be treated for
serious injuries received while mining in
the Moulton mine. A cavein at this
mine caught Metivier under a mass of
rock weighing more than IL ton. 1t
twisted his body in frightful shape, and
when taken from the debris he was
found to have sustained a bad cut in fhe
back of his head besides suffering spinal
arrangements. The doctors at the hos.
pital find severe injuries to some main
nerve trunks of the neck controlling the
functions of the upper limbs, and paral'
wing both arms. At this writing they
are unable to give a positive opinion as
to the probable outcome of the case
At the hour of going to press the patien
can use his left hand a little. He is
powerfully built man else the acciden
would surely have killed him outright
He is a Frenchman and has worked il
| the Belt Mountains for five or six years

AMONG rHE N
AT the Gait.

The Gait mine has inserted an ingen-
ious continuance in their tunnel to
guard against danger from fires. A
door of boiler iron has been placed in
the tunnel about 80 feet from its mouth,
fixed with a weight to make it close au-
tomatically. A quarter inch rope holds
it open, being drawn through the main
building outside and fastened where it
can be cut at a moments notice. This
rope, in case the main building should
take fire will burn off, or be liberated
with a knife, in time to close the door
and preserve the air in the mine free
from smoke. A solid brick wall with
morter closes the remaining portion of
the tunnel at this point and when the
door closes it absolutely shuts out all
currents of air which might otherwise
enter. This fixes the mine perfectly
safe for the miners who work 1900 to
1900 feet in this tunnel as they can find
easy exit through the raise to the sur
face. when the main exit is closed
There can never be u Hope disaster at
the Gait.

Strike in the Spokane.

Ernest Close, Joe Grafton and John
List have struck ore in the Spokane,
where they have been leasing. They
ran a hard rock tunnel intending to
strike a vein of ore which had been ex-
posed in a shaft above. The boys
crossed the sought-for vein two months
ago and thinking it only a barren seam,
ran past it a distance of 100 feet. De-
spairing of finding anything by continu-
ing the cross cut, they returned to the
place where they had cut the narrow
vein, and opened a drift. They had not
drifted far till they struck about eight
inches of rich ore. 1t is a great discov-
| cry, as the ore is $50 feet below the sur.
face and will be permanent for a long
distance. The character of ore is the
same as that usually found in the Ben
ton, consisting mostly of brittle ant
ruby silver and running from 500 tt
1000 ounces in silver.

At the Flagstaff.

Pierse and Neihart have encountered
good ore in their lease of the flagstaff
and find the vein widening and growing
richer as depth is attained. Their winze
is 1870 feet deep and from its bottom
they had drifted both north and south.
Unusual volumes of water overlook
them Wednesday morning, and theil
pump was drowned under six feet OF
water. A second pump had to be used
in order to find the first. These mer
show good enterprise and activity il
their work, and their success is wei,
merited.

Thoreau at Cape Cod.

In Cape Cod, Thoreau gave his
natural drollery full play-an al
most antinomian liberty, to take a
word out of thUse ecclesiastical his
tories with the reading of which
under his umbrella he SO patiently
enlivened his sandy march from Or
leans to Provincetown. LAS / sat on
a hill one sultry Sunday afternoon"
he says, "the meeting house win
dows being open, my m~editations
were interrupted by the noise of a
preacher who shouted like a boat
swain profaning the quiet atmos-
phere, and who, 1 fancied, must
have taken off his coat. Few things
could have been more disgusting or
disheartening. l wished the tithing
man would stop him." Charles
Lamb himself could not have bet
tered the delicious, biting absurdity
of that final touch. 1t was not this
Boanergian minister, but a man of
an earlier generation, of whom we
are told that he wrote a BODY of
Divinity" a book frequently sheer
ed at, particularly by those who
have read it." The whole Cape, past
and present, was looked at half quiz
zically by it's inland visitor. The
very houses seemed, like mariners
ashore, to have sat right down to
enjoy the firmness of the land, with
out studying their postures OF ha-
biliments'-a description not to be
fully appreciated except by those
who have seen a Cape Cod village,
with its buildings dropped here and
there at haphazard upon the sand.

DANCING TURTLES
n Curious Training to Which They Are
Subjected In the Far East.

The Curious Training to Which They Are
Subjected In the Far East.
The spectacle OF an old, bearded
man, with long, tangled locks, dress
ed in a fantastic costume, attracted
the attention of passersby n day
in one of the large seaports of ia
pan. Some said he was an Aino,
pointing to his long hair and beard,
and that he was a bear worshiper
from Nagasaki.
The old man stood on the deck of
a houseboat quite as disreputable as
he himself appeared and gave an
exhibition that vas in every respect
remarkable. He held an old brass
drum, upon which he beat with sew
eral sticks, keeping time with his
foot, and in obedience to this strange
summons a number of common high
back river tortoises of various sizes
crawled out of a box, and, forming
themselves in line, began to march,
one after. the other, to the slow, dis
cordant music. Around they went
in a circle, the big mes ahead, the
smaller. ones following on behind,
and at the word of command tho
larger ones took their places be-
tween two boxes and formed a liv-
ing tortoise bridge, over which the
small ones passed from box to box,
the others then following suit,
w%hereupon all the tortoises arranged
themselves in groups, like plates
about a table.
The japanese have another tor
toise, which they train to perform
simple tricks in the water. It is a
little creature, about three or four
inches long, that from a life of in
activity has become covered with a
long growth of green pond weed,
which streams behind like hair as ii
swims along.
These people are also famous fol
their strange fishes of the carp fam.
lily. Some are short and chubby
with eyes that protrude s. far from
the head that they look like tele
, scopes or the stalked eyes of some
crabs, with which the little crea.
lures can see in every Erection.
Others have a broad lacelike tail
l that hangs gracefully like a mass
, of lace and appears to be divided in
to three parts. Others have a per
feet black cross marked upon the
back, which, against the deep red
! which is the prevailing color, pre-
= sents a magnificent appearance
Others are called the fish of thu
white cross, the latter being white
e against red.
n These beautiful creatures ar
trained to perform a variety o
k tricks. They rise at the sound of
r bell, ring a bell themselves, follow
one another in a row at the signal
i and then in many ways show thei
- remarkable intelligence.
=" The Japanese Aso import tn
n famous fighting fishes from India
which they keep in an aquarium
and match in contests, which are, j
must be, said, decided without blood
shed, though the little creature
, show no little feroeity

A.PIONEER SHOEMAKER.
WORKING At HIS TRADE ALTHOUGH EIGHTYFIVE YEARS OIL
Mr. James MCIen, Of Champaign Has Followed the ShOemakers
Trade All His Life Every Day at His Bench Working with Appar'
entythe Same Wgor as Young MaT-A Sketch Of Hslfe.
From the Gazette Champaign, III

At the advanced age of eighty-ive years,
James McMillen, of 1l2 West Washington
street, is one of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is a pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that of any citizen Of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMillen has fol-
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was young man.
He has little shop on North Wright street,
in the vicinity of the University of ILLINOIS,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students OF that institution.
About year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously i'll. For months he was q
sufferer, but finally ne appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account OF
sickness. His friends were surprised 20 see
him out again, and they were more surprised
when re told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter-
est in his case, and reporter visited him,
to have him relate the story.
81 feel, 70 said the spry old gentleman,
"that I owe my life to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Something like a
year ago it appeared to me that was almost
q physical wreck. / was suffering from a
disease of the kidneys. A thick scurf had
formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles were terribly swollen and infamed
In fact, they reached such a condition that
could not walk, and it looked as though my
days were numbered.
