The gold product of Colorado this
year will be above the enormus sum
of SIS, 900 900, and it is time for the
people and newspapers of that state to
quit talking about hard times
The new plant put up by the Arizona
Copper company has been placed in
working order, says the Lordsburg Lib
eral, and is giving great satisfaction.
1t has produced copper 99@ per cent
pure, and the regular output is better
than 80 per cent, which is almost pure
enough for commercial uses.
Notice has been posted at the Boss
burg coal mines, operated by the Ra-
ton Coal and Coke company, of a re-
duction of 10 per cent of wages to take
effect September l. The price now
paid for mining is % cents per ton, but
as the men are employed only part OF
the time they claim that they can not
live at the reduced rates.
1t is stated that ex. Gov. w. 7. iThorn-
ton has succeeded in interesting some
well-known Denver capitalists with
him in the purchase of the 'Margarita
mine, just over the line in Sonora. The
property is we'll developed, with a
averaging S3S, with II pay streak nearly
three feet wide. The consideration
was about quarter of million.
A mine that beats the Klondike has
just been revealed in California. 1t is
IN Trinity county. Two brothers des-
cribed as greenhorns found in a pocket
"a lump of gold shaped like a beavers
tall worth $42, 600. There never was
but one larger nugget captured in Ca
lifornia. While the discoveries were
gone to the mint with their prize, the
man in charge of the mine found
al other pocket, and in it was $40, 600

Y RAYS to Find Gold.

Tesla believes that mountains car
be photographed by the x rays and
gold located without the trouble of ex.
cavation, that such mining is possible
at Klondike, though as yet not only to
d limited extent. He says that Roent-
gen rays ARE without limit as to
length and photography. They are
limited now because of one almost toy
apparatus for producing them" He
thinks that as il is only question OF
tubes and currents, at any moment a
way may be be found producing rays
that will penet-atate hills and noun
tains, perhaps the earth itself. A
noted metallurgist has a photograph
of quartz with gold embedded in the
center and concealed from the naked
eye. He believes that much labor can
oe saved and great deal more gold
mined at klOndike if the beds and
mounds of sand and gravel are reach
by X rays as they are thrown up. Then
only the richest dirt need be washed.

Bender Mystery Cleared.

A special from Wichita, Kan, says
that deathbed confession, made by
Capt. Carroll, a former resident Of
Montgomery county, to W. 81. Coon of
Cripple Creek, Colo, who was also
from that county. clears up the mystery
that for quarter of a century had
shrouded the fate of the notorious Ben
der family, whose wholesale murders,
committed in 1S72-73, attracted nation
al attention.
The confession was made at Beatrice,
Neb., three years ago, and Mr.. Coon
kept his secret until yesterday, when
he related it to Judge w. D. Webb,
late of the Atchison county district
court.
The Bender house, as is we'll known,
became slaughter pen. The number
of the family's victims have been var
iously estim ated at from Is to 30. In
his confession Capt. Carroll said that
he was one of posse who dealt quick
many villainies were discovered.
He declared that a posse of deter
mined men followed and overlook the
Blenders, William, his wife, and Kate

Kate was then told that her time
had come and she stood unf1inchingly
until several bullets had pierced hel
body, then fell to the ground dead.
The work was too bloody for some o.
the pursuers and Mrs. Bender wa:
told to run for her life. She got away
and nothing was ever heard of hel
afterward. The lynchers swore secre

present confession.

A MART TO Melons.

The melon crop was short this year,
ard a southwest Georgia farmer who
had practically "cOrnered'' it in his
neigh borhood had suffered seriously
from the depradatiOns of some one
hungry colored brethren. So he gave
it out that he had poisoned his melons,
and after the news went forth he ceas-
ed to miss them.
Night after night an old negro who
lived near the finest melon pal CHI had
gszed at their green sides with hungry
eyes, but the though: of the poison
kept him hungry still.
One moonlight night, however, his
appetite got the best Of him. He look
ed in the direction of the melons long
and earnestly; then shouldering a sack
he star ed off.
SIN de name err goodness, Rufus
wbar you gwine?' asked his wife.
The old man turned, pointed to the
melon patch and said, slowly ano
solemnly:

BISMARCK makes light of the Fran
co-Russlan alliance, and doe, not think
the car will go back on Germany.
And Bismarck is undoubtedly right.
The French hope that the alliance
means the restoration to France of AL
SAGE and Lorraine, by force if necessary,
is not grounded In reason. The only
step in that direction that Russia is
likely TO take is to bring about an
agreement for restoration that may
be satfactOry to both Germany and
France.

Asia and Future OF Christian Civilization.
In the ebb and flow of human affairs,
under those mysterious impulses, the
origin of which is sought by some in q
personal providence, by some in laws
not yet fully understood, we stand at
the opening of period when the
perplexing question is to be settled
decisively, though the issue may be
long delayed, whether eastern or
western civilization is to dominate
throughout the earth and to control its
future. The great task now before
the world of civilized Christianity, its
great mission, which it must fulfil or
perish, is to receive into its own bosom
and raise to is own ideals those an
Gent and different civilizations by
which it is surrounded and outnum ber-
ed-the civilizations at the head OF
which stand China, India, and Japan.
This, to cite the most striking OF the
many forms in which it is presented to
us. is surely the mission which Great
Britsir ,swol ev er at nand has beer lis =
charging towards India: but that stands
not alone. The history of the present
century. has been that of a constant in
creasing pressure of our own civiliza-
ton upon these older ones, till now, as
we cast our eyes in any direction, there
is everywhere a stirring, q rOuslng
from sleep, drowsy for the most part,
but real, uporganiZed as yet, but con
sciOus that that which rudely inter-
rupts their dream of centuries possesses
over them at least two advantages
power and material prosperity-the
things which unspiritual humanity the
world over, most Graves.
What the ultimate result will be it
would be vain to prOphesy: the data
for a guess even are not at hand; but 1t
| is not equally impossible to note pres
ent condit' ons, and to suggest present
considerations, which may shape pro-
ximate action, and tend to favor the
preponderanc of that form of civiliza-
ton which cannot but deem the most
promising for the future, not of our
race only, but of the world at large
