sa,e of woura,n Mi .ss.

Saturday last there occurred in Will
 eoq . transaction which may lead to the
 development of an important industry
 in this county. Messrs. c. U. Cornell
 con, B. F. Halderman and Chas. w,
 Halderman sold to F. E. Canda of New
 York their intersst in the wolfranite
 claims at RusselIvile, receiving there
 fore the sum of s5 500 in gold coin. The
 deal was negotiated by Mir. Wm. Hiven
 an expert on rare ores, who in the early eighties prospected in the Galliuros in search of precious metals and later was assissant mrHissioner for Arizona at the New Orleans Exposition. The pur chaser is connected with one of the lead ing steel companies companies of the Unitei States. Melsrs. Smith Bros and Otto Moore also had an offer for their claims but hope to obtain a bette, figure.
 The history of those deposits read ', like romance. More than four years ago Mir. B. F. Hsllerman sent sample of wolframite to New York copper company and was informel that it was of no value
 In April, 1890, o. T. Smith. timber man in the Copper Queen mine at Bis bee, was conversing with Mir. Cornell son, c miner, working for the same com pany, when the latter remarked: "1f could find good wolfram mine would quit working for wages." Mir. Smith asked what the metal was like and en hearing the description said: "I know where there is large vein of the ore." In sfew days they were at Russelville, but Smith had forgotten the exact loca' ton of the ledge. They called in the evening at the house of Chas. W. Hal derman and in the course of the conver- sation Mir. Smith, taking from his pocket piece of ore which Cornelison had brought from New Mexico, observ- ed: "Do you know where l got that, "Yes," was the prompt reply, Ion the ridge behind the house" And 1t Has fouId, when Messrs. Smith and Cornelissn repaired thither the follow irg morning.
 The two young men share in the dis covery. the one because of his knowl- edge and his inquiring disposition; the other because his close observation had fixed in his mind the appearance and approximate locality of tho ore whose identity and value were unknown to him. ."..r..
 Wolframite ore is worth from $l00 to $500 per ton. The rock must assay not lees than forty per cent. Mir. Niyen who is we'll versed in such matters and who few years ago discovered in West Texas new metal now k~own as Niven- ite, suggests that persons finding strange ores or other peculiar minerals should send samples to recognized authority on minerals and not to an assayer or re. ductioR company. He names Professor Blake of the university as the nearest reliable authority on such matters.

Woman Who Has Learned Entirely By
Careful Listening.
The wonderful development of certain
faculties IN the cases Of persons who
have lost the use of some Of their natural
functions, or of others whose faculties
have not been sully developed, has long
been a matter Of remark, but it is not
alone the outside Observers who appre-
ciate the provisions of nature fer the
benefit Of the unfortunates. The suffer-
srs themselves often appreciate this full

grow to depend so much upon their &C
Quired faculties as 70 be afraid of a
change, even if they have the chance OF
one.
An illustration Of this is given by a
woman IN Brooklyn who never has
learned to read OF write In 10 way
could one discover this except by her
own admission or by putting her to a
direct test, for she is ore CT the best ed
ucated women IN the country, CONVEX
SAINT with Languages, art, literature and
all the current topics Of the day. She is
xSch, too, and could afford all the serv-
ICES of the best teachers If she but chose
20 learn TO read, but she refuses to do so.
When this woman was a child, her
parents lived far from schools, so she
had no chance then to learn to read or
write: As a mere child she began to
earn her own living, and again the
chance for schooling slipped away. Then
sic married and the cares Of a family
tbok up her time. By the time the ba-
bies were off her hands, her husband
lad grown rich, and then she began hef
real education, and EoW, as a widow,
she continues it. Her companions read
TO her and talk with her about all the
topics which interest her. Years of such
work have stored her mind with a rich
treasure CT knowledge, and there is not
8 page of a book that has been read to
her that she is not familiar with. Hes
stores of knowledge are at her instant
command. Why Will she not learn to
read? Because, she says, she fears that

such a treasure house TO her, might De

weaken the demands upon it
What such a memory can do IS well
illustrated IN the case of tailor of this
city who cannot read or write. He is
probably the most widely known man
IN his business here, as for many years
he has done business with New York's
fremen and policemen. Almost every
man Of these two bodies has dealings
with this tailor, and each month be
tween the first and the tenth days he
visits every station. house and engine
and truck house IN this city to collect
his dues. He has acquired considerable
wealth, and it is said of him that IN all
the years he has dealt with the fremen
and policemen he never was known &c

GUNNERY PRAcTIcE.
Pcriis That Outsiders Know Little

An officer of the United States nav,
relates the following as ILLUSTRATING
some of the perils Of gunnery at sea:
Il came very near going up into ths
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun practice
nj sea, and but for the quickness of a
gunner's mate would have never re.
turned AS you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing button. The OFF,
Ger In command of the forward turret
on our ship during rapid-frc practice
was just about to press the button to
irc one of our big guns when a gun
ner's mate was seen to grab at some
thing On the wall of the turret and then
fali In asheap on the floor. The officer
pressed the button, but the gun was not
discharged. When the mate came to he
was asked what had happened, and he
t1formed the officer that the breech of
The gun had not been locked, and that
what he grabbed at on the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing cir.
cult. When he saw that the officer was
preparing to fire the gun, and at the
same time observed that the breech of
the gun was not locked, the only thing
that occurred to him to prevent the gun
being discharged was to destroy the cir
cult. which he did promptly and effect
lively. When all this occurred there was
charge of ESQ pounds Of powder in the
gun, another charge Of the same size in
the turret ready to be served, and the
2assageway leading to the powder mag
azine was wide open. But for the quick
Eess OF the gunner's mate the gun would
have been blown out inside the turret.
the gases from the burning powder
would probably have ignited the charge
lying in the turret, this explosion would
have ignited the powder in the maya
zine, and the chances are that the whole
ship, crew and all, would have gone up
In the air. A thought that has occurred
to me is this: Suppose the accident had
occurred, what do you imagine the YER

OF the loss of the ship would have beer?

adopted electrical means to prevent the
