WHAT THE "TROCHA' is.

The following explanation OF "a term
frequently met with in the Cuban dis
patches. taken from the Oakley sun, IS
OF interest:
The famous Cuban trocha extends
from Havana to the southeastern coast
OF the island, and its original purpose
was To divide the insurgent forces, part
OF which were in the western por-
lion OF the island under Maceo and the
rest In the eastern portion under Gomez
and Gracia. 1t consists principally Of
barbed-wire fence three feet six inches
high. with sentinel detachments i'm
mcdialely behind IL. About forty Yards
further back Of 1t is trench three feet
wide and four feet deep, with n breast
work OF palmetto logs and tifty yards
furthe- back are log houses In which
the troops are quartered. The number
Of soldiers required TO guard the whole
line is about $1,000"

MINES AND MINING.

o. a. Tibbefts, mining man Of
Helena Montana. and c. T. Drake, of
Wriser stopped over here Monday night
on their way down from the
Rock Creek district where Mr..
Tibbets had been looking over some
mining properties. He had with him
samples Of ore from the Golden Age (the
old Minnie mine) and also from the Hall
mine. He was well pleased with the
general appearance OF the district.
a coal discovery OF considerable i'm
portance has lately been made near John
Smearage's place on the Butte, about
ten miles north OF Emmett. Dave Martin
WAS engaged in cleaning out mud
spring for the purpose Of increasing the
How OF water when he encountered
strata OF coal about four feet thick. At
the pointof discovery the coal is rot
ten' and not Of good quality, but this
fact Is no doubt due 70 the action OF the
water from the spring on the ven. Mr..
Martin Is now sinking at point farther
up the slope and above the water
and hopes TO find good quality
of coal when he reaches the
vein. II the fact is developed that

An interesting report made by Director
WaIcott OF the geological survey, show
ing the presence OF an enormous gold
belt In Alaska, has been forwarded to
the house OF representatives by the Sec
rotary OF the Interior. The report tells
the story Of an expedition sent out by
the geological survey to determine the
gold and coal deposits along the line OF
the Alaskan coast. A second expedi-
ton followed in May 1906. going to the
gold fields Of the Yukon river to investi-
gate the report that there we're large
placer deposits along the stream beds.
The party traversed the valley Of the
Yukon from the British boundary on the
east To the mouth OF the river on the
west. All the wel-known placer deposits
were examined, and the origin OF the
gold In them was traced to the quartz
veins along the headwaters Of the var-
Gus streams entering the Yukon. Suff-
cient data was secured to establish the
presence OF gold belt 300 miles in length
in Alaska, which enters the territory
near the mouth OF Forty Mile crek and
extends westward across the Yukon val
ley at the Ramparis. Its further extent
is unknown. II is the opinion Of the
geologist in charge OF the expedition

STREET IMPROVEMENT.

The question OF good roads Is being
agllated In all parts OF the country OF
late years and people generally are fast
becoming OF the opinion that the subject
Is vital one in its relation to the well
being Of 4 community.
From an economic standpoint good
roads are cheap roads In the end even
though their construction and main
flamenco cost more dollars and cents
than the ordinary combination Of ruts
aud chuck-holcs and mire, called by
courtesy a highway. from the fact that
they arc SO much more available tor the
purposes for which roads are intended
aud make travel and the transportation
OF produce and supplies possible at a
minimum expense.
OF equal importance to any commu-
niy is the relation which roads bear to
the neral and physical wellbcing Of
the people, yet In a a general way, these
may have less direct relation to the
road question than has the economic
phase of the subject, although we doubt

Richardson, of Belmont county, was in
dicted by the United States grand jury
to-day on the charge of representing
himself to be a special pension exam
liner and collecting money from Leon
ard Fisher. He entered a plea Of not
guilty and bond was fixed in $1,000 and
hearing set for the 18th.
George Jameson, of Pennsville, was
also indicted charged with breaking
into postoffice in Morgan county and
stealing a small amount of money, to
which he pleaded guilty. Jameson is
a boy about Is years of age, and the

Because lie Was Put on Train.

Because lie Was Put on Train.
Columbus, O., December "a tran
script from the Belmont county Court
of Common Pleas, wherein James l..
Carman, a commercial traveller, is
plaintiff, and John K. Cowen and Os-
car G. Murray receivers of the Baiti-
more & Ohio Railroad Company, are
defendants, was filed in the United
States Court, in this city, Wednesday,.
The bill of the plaintiff alleges that on
October 6, 1896, he boarded b. & ..
passenger train at Wheeling, w. Va,
en- route to Benwood, to transact bus
mess at the latter named place. He
handed the conductor a mileage
coupon book which he had purchased
from the officials of the c., S. & H. rail-
way and which he was entitled to use
on certain lines of the B. & o. system
and other roads. The conductor of the
train refused to honor the coupons
and demanded fifteen cents, the fare
between Wheeling and Benwood. The
plaintiff insisted on the conductor &C
cepting the mileage and the latter
stopped the train and put him of,
beating and kicking him in the pro-
cess. For indignities, insults apd in
iuries received, Carman asks damages
to the amount of $1,999,99.
