Their Food All Right Now.

A letter from Ed. Larock of the Yer
mont Volunteers, dated at Chickamauga,
says: AS | hear all the boys saying
something about the food we get down
here, | thought l would add word
about it. When we first arrived here
the food we got wasn't what you would
call good, nor what we had been told
and expected it would be, but 1t is a
great deal better now. | wouldn't ask
for any better, and it is well cooked,
which is the main thing. We expect to
move from here to Tampa in a short
time. Rob Morse and viii Larock are
not very we'll. The 'army lice" are
getting pretty thick here. The Middle
bury boys all send their regards to their
friends.

The following from Our Record, of
Chicago, an organ of the NJ. E. church,
relates to the late Timothy Case, whose

The sudden death of Bro, Timothy

nected with the Hudson River railroad,
and while roadmaster of this line he was
for twelve years superintendent of the
Sunday school in Castleton, n. Y.
During Mr. Cases residence in Chi
cago and in the varied relations which
call out mans activities he showed his
fidelity to every principle which helps the

A RELIABLE BUSINESS.

The output of gold in the Transvaal for the first five months of this year is nearly twice as much as the output during the same period of 1S96
 Nor is the Transvaa1 an exception to other gold mining regions. From almost every camp in the world where gold is mined come reports of in- creased production. Gold mining un. der the methods now in use is a re- liable undertaking. The mining for gold has been reduced to a business basis and is now conducted on business methods. Gold in paying quantities is now found where it was not SUD- posed to exist. The gold was there all right enough, but the methods neces- sary for extracting it were lacking All that IS now changed. Moreover. as necessity is the mother of invention B so also in the case of gold mining the necessities are productive of the means.
 Mining for gold has. as has been already said in these columns. ceased to be a gamble. And whether it be for gold, silver, copper or other metal close study of conditions, aided by chemistry, have overcome possibilities of failure, so that wherever ordinary prudence is exercised mining for one or the other of these metals is as safe and legitimate a business as is the de- velopment and working of coal mine or the selection of an ashler from a quarry.-Los Angeles Review.

 in voice that could be heard all over
 the deck, nodding in the direction of
 the Indians. Bad bunch, though. As lief stick knife into you as look at you. They get suit O duds and come
 on here to see the Great Spirit with a
 lot O kicks they have piled up, and then they go back to their tepees, put

 young women.

 Just then the waiter passed along the deck. Che of the bucks beckoned to the waiter with his finger When the waiter got close to him the buck asked of his two companions:
 "Wbatll you take?" ''I think I'll have glass of sarsapa- rilla," said the old Indian T want a seltzer lemonade" said the ether buck. s
 Waiter, just bring us sarsaparilla
 and two seltzer lemonades," said the
 first buck.
 The two funny young men and the two giggly young women took this in with open mouths. When the waiter
 had gone, said one of the funny young men:
 Say, the music's playing on the back part of the boat. Let's go back there hey?"

SIMPLY SMILED.
The Red Men Were Not as Stupid as
 They Looked.

Three l-blooded Indians sat un- der the awning covering the main deck forward of one of the steamboat going down the river last Sunday af- ternoon. Two of them were bucks, apparently about 30 years old-but an Indians age is hard even to approxi- mate-and the other was an old man All three of them were neatly and quietly dressed in dark store clothes, and they all paid strict attention to their own business, talking Indian, that sounded good deal like Chinese, to each other.
 Two funny young men, accompanied by pair of giggly young women, toolu camp chairs directly in the rear of the Indians They all thought the guttural grunts of the three Indians very anus ing indeed. and the two funny young met got off fair imitation of the h. dians' talk.

A NEW CAMP.

MT. John Parks, who has been here this week visiting with his family. gave the Bulletin some interesting items about the new camp at Black Rock. Mr. Parks came Dy the way ot Black Rock on his return from the coal fields and says that when he rode up on a hill overlooking the camp he was surprised. The camp is as large as Geronimo, and the approaches are lined with teams going in there hunt ing for work.
 Fifty miners are now at work in the new camp and eight double crews are working in rich ore. MT. Parks says it is one of the richest camps he has ever seen in the west, and if he is not mistaken will soon become a rival of the famous Pearce mine in COchise county as a gold producer.
 Next Monday Alexander Bros. will put on a regular stage line from Thomas to the mines and on Monday last their teams began hauling the lumber for their new store which will be erected at Black Rock as fast as possible.
 The grading work is about complet- ed on the mill site and the machinery has been ordered and is expected on the ground by the last of this month.
 The Spenazuma Mining and Milling company is composed of St. Louis cap- italists and are represented at Black Rock by Captain Thomas McEniry, a mining man of much experience.
 Eight tunnel sites have been located and are on record in the recorders office.
 A railroad from Black Rock to Thomas is one of the probabilities of the near future.
 At present no men are being put to work as the present force is sufficient for the work to be done.-Arizona Bull letin

MICA MINING IN NEW HAMP-
 SHIRE.

The following notes in regard to the mica mines of New Hampshire were furnished Mines and Minerals by B. J. Crowley, Grafton Center, New Hamp- shire, foreman of the Ruggles mine at that place. He writes:
 In the American Gazette printed in 17e8, reference is made to mica of the best quality being found in Graf ton and of it's being worked in a prim- itive way by Mr. Meramill. About 1905 this property came into the pos session of MT. George Ruggles and is still owned by his heirs He con trolled the business by buying out the rights of all who attempted to open up adjoining mines In 1869 the Glass Hill mine produced 26,250 pounds. worth $60,000, and gave employment to ten or twelve men, After the death Of MT. Ruggles in 1869 other capitalists began to prospect for mica on prop critics not controlled by his estate and about 1873 several new mines were opened up at Grafton, Orange and AL exandria, some of which rivaled the old Ruggles mine The mica vein ap- pears to be a vein of very coarse gran ite varying in width from two to forty feet, the strike and dip being the same as the enclosed rocks, the strike being northeast and the dip towards the southeast, sometimes at a high angle. When the cap rock is not too thick the mine is worked open cut, but if thick, deep levels are driven.
 The importations of Indian mica in jured the industry in this section, but lately capitalists have become inter ested in the matter and indications are that new mines may be opened up. During 1896 and 1897 2,000 tons of scrap mica were shipped from New Hampshire As only ten per cent of the total production of mica is fit for shipment by far the greater part of the amount goes over the dump and if these shipments of scrap mica continue and a market is found for them the profit of the business will be very ma terial-Western Mining World.
