We are fun Of sympathy for the Prince
of Wales and his interesting family, On
account of the painful injury TO his royal
kneepan, which is likely 10 cripple him
for life. That IS sad enough, God wot.
but what is still sadder is that his affiic-
ton is likely TO make it impossible for
him TO lead the family prayers in the at
titude which, it is TO be supposed, has
been habitual with him from his earliest
infancy Indeed, there is room for fear
that it was the intense piety and prayer
fuIness Of His Royal Highness that OriSi-
nalIy weakened both of his kneepans.
Only one OF them has 50 far succumbed,
but, as double duty will now be exacted
of the other. the danger is that an extra
camp meeting, or revival or two, might
settle it, also.

In India.
From MacinilIan's Magazine.)

charming story is told of the Kamber KheI4
Illustrating how eheaply the trbesmen regard hu-
man life. mullah of the tribe once in a mo-
ment of eandor expressed his regret to his flock
that no sacred man among them had vet been
called upon to lay down his life for his re-
ligion, alleging that the presence in their midst
of the tomb of so holy a man would be of the
highest value both from a spiritual and a prae-
tical point of view-spirituaiIy, because the
prophet would regard them ali henceforth with
greater favor; practically. because devout pill
grimages, attracted to the shrine, would enrich
the whole tribe by their gifts. The KanIbe-s
took counsel together, laid hold of the mullah
and slew him; and then, having erected suit
able shrine over his corpse felt that they had
done all that in their power to remove
reproach which reflected upon the whole tribe

Cuban Hammock Song,

See US softly swaying
Meath the shady trees,
Leaves above Us playing
In the gentle breeze.
Cuba. Cuba Librei
That's the song we sing;
While the shadows come and go,
And the breezes softly blow,
Cuba. Cuba Libre!
Singing as we swing.
Bless us. this Is pleasant,
Neither thought nor care;
Let's enjoy the present
In the drowsy air.
Yanks can do the scrapping-
Hear ZEN bang awayI
We prefer our mapping
Through the drowsy say.
Cuba. Cuba Libre!
That's the song we sing.
Eating while We swing in line
Yankee rations-they are fine!

that men there are we'll employed, makes the

State has given facts relative to the enlistment
of men who proitably employed, and the
further fact that in many cases the employers

The cyanide plant at the Eureka mill has
been completed, and was set in operation
on Tuesday last. So far as it has been
tested 1t works very satisfacto torily. The
plant has a capacity of ten tons per day.
The ore from several mines in the district
contain manganese, and 1t is impossible to
extract nearly all the gold without a cy-

Messrs. Wood. Oakley and Doolittle, di-
rectors Of the Little Butte Mining and Mill
Ing company, arrived in camp Wednesday
evening, and after thoroughly inspect
ing the mine, left for home Friday evening.
They expressed themselves as very much
pleased with the work done since they were
last here. These gentlemen are also IN
terested in the Little Butte Extension, and
were accompanied by another director OF
that mine. 1t was decided to commence
work on that mine at once. A lease was
also let to Percy Mcmahon of the Wedge
to sink 100 feet and drift 100 feet each way.
The Desert Red House company of Gar

A NEW STAMP MILL
Fresh News of the Randsburg
Mines

JOHANNESBURG. Sept. 3.-Mr. Pur-
rngton of San Francisco, representative
of the Union Iron works. visited the camp
this week. He came to consult with Col.
Singleton of the Yellow Aster company
regarding the erection of the new stamp
mill at that company's mines. Mr.. Pur-
rington hopes to secure the contract for his
company. He left Tuesday evening for
Barstow, to meet Mr.. Singleton, who was
experimenting the monthly cleanup Of
the Yellow Aster ore.
The contrac; for digging the pipe line
from the yellow Aster company's wells 70
the companys mines was let to Edmund
Dryden and George Lloyd. Work was
commenced several days ago. The pipe
line runs through the towns Of Johannes
burg and Randsburg, thus making there
water companies who have the right Of
way through these towns.
Work is being pushed at the Windy mine.
The main shaft is down over eighty feet
and when the 100-foot level is reached a
drift will be run in both directions. This
shaft has been made a double compart-
ment one. and a whim will be put in in a
few days. AT shaft No. 2 the workmen
are down about sixty feet and are taking
erected on the claim and an ore house is
soon 10 be built.
Work will be commenced at the o. K.
properties about the 18th instant.
The Barstow Milling company has an
nounced a new schedule on milling ores
From and after this date all ores valued
at less than SIS will be hauled from Jo-
hannesburg, via the Randsburg railroad.
and milled at Barstow for $3.50 per ton.
y-dollar ore will be treated at 81
per ton. This cheap rate if accompanied d
by good work, will do much in developing
the low grade mines as there are very
few Of them which produce ore worth less
than s. per ton.

RANDsBURG DEMOCRATS
They Refute and Rebuke Republican
Misstatement

RANDSBURG, Sept. 5.-The Randsburg
Democratic club held large and enthusi-
astic meeting recently. A number of To-
cal speakers addressed the club on cur
rent topics. The club Is rapidly growing
swell it's membership roll to $50. Next
Tuesday evening a number of speakers are
expected from Bakersfield, in which event
an open air meeting will be held, as there
is not a building in the town big enough
to accommodate all the Democrats wher
they get together.
At the meeting the following resolutions
were presented and adopted unanimously
Whereas, The California Republican
party platform having charged that
tha c-Populist-Fusion" par
ty of California is attempting to stir
up hatred of the Judiciary and contempt
of the law, we brand the same as false.
and assert that the sole purpose of
such indictment is inspired by the hope
that in the furry Of politics and in the
excitement of the approaching cam
paign feeling of sufficient Indignation
may be aroused among the masses
against the so-called calumniators as to
develop and hide the pervert acts and
unwise decisions of those Of the judici-
airy whom they, the Republicans, wish
to shield and whom they have selected
for high office. Therefore, be it
Resolved That while we refute in
toto the frivolous charge as made by
the Republican platform, We recognize
the constitutional right of every citi-
zen of the land to criticise and condemn
the ursurpation of legislative power
which many of the courts of the United
States at the present time have taken
unto themselves.
Whereas, The platform adopted by
the Republican party at its recent-con-
vention held in the city Of Sacramento,
having assumed for that party all the
honor and glory for the brilliant sue
cesses achieved by our invincible army
and navy during our late war with
Spain; and
Whereas, All sections and parties.
without regard to geographical lines
or political color, having shown their
fealty and love of "Od Glory by ten
dering their services and lives, If need
be, at the call to arms, we brand the
Republican party's claims as a mis-
statement of facts. Therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the Republican party,
In arrogating to itself the whole credit
for victories won by representatives of
all parties and classes of the United
States, displays an arrogance and sell
hshness that Is puerle and childish,
and it is deserving Of universal con-
demnation for its presumption by all
lberty-loving and fair minded citizens.
Corrected statements from Bakersfield
show that the registration of Randsburg
Garlock and other camps within a radius
Of twenty miles of Randsburg will approx.

of this number Hon. J. G. Mcguire will re-
