there is a prejudice against it in Wis

Death Within an Inch.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.

The horrible accident to two Pennsylva-
MIA women who were walking over a rail-
way trestle when they were overtaken and
run down by a train recalls thrilling ex-
perience through which a Philadelphian
passed last winter. He had often read of
the grandeur of the White mountains when
they Were covered by snow and ice, and he
decided to make a trip through them. 1t
was about noon when he reached the depot
near the foot of Mt. Washington, and as a
train would not go southwark until 6
o'clock. he concluded to walk through the
Crawford Notch. He had his first hair
raising adventure in the Gate of the Notch
He was half way through when north
bound freight appeared around the curve
at the eother end. There was no time to
reach the open end and the snow was
packed so closely to the rocks of both sides
that there were ridges where the sides of
the cars had scraped they passed. Death
seemed inevitable, but there was a little
space alongside the rails, and into this he
crawled, lying on his side to make himself
as small as possible. The next moment the
train was laundering past, the wheels pass
ing within an inch of his body. Had he
moved muscle he would certainly have
been mangled to death. He said afterward
he thought that train must have been at
leas. 100 miles long.

MORE LITERALLY DISPOSED.
Feeling of Representative on Money
for the Navy and Coast Defenne.

The disaster to the Maine has aroused
feeling among members of the House of
Representatives in favor of extreme Hber-
ality in appropriations for the naval and
military establishments, the practical re-
suit of which Is likely to ne the acceptance
by the House with little contest of the
Senate amendment increasing the appro-
lriations for fortifcations about 81 OG0 go.
the authorization in the naval appropria-
ton bill OF two battle ships instead OF one,
and possibly the authorization of the entire
dry dock scheme recommended by the
dry dock board appointed by the Secretary
of the Navy.
The question of what dry docks shall
be authorized has given the naval COM
mittee more concern than all other dis
Iuted items in the bill. The propositions
before the committee include Iecommen-
cations for two new docks. one at Algiers
New Orleans. La, and the other at Mare
Island. Cal; also the repair and improy e.
tnent of the dock at Brooklyn improve
merits at the Norfolk dock repairs to the
Portsmouth On. III dock and the wide n
ing of the dock at League Island so as to
admit first-class battle ships. This whole
dry dock scheme, it is estimated. would
cost in the neighborhocd of $5.OO0.OOO.

FROM ALASKA TO MEXICO.
Turn In the Tide Exploration fol
Gold.

Gold.
The Secretary of State has received a re-
port from United States Consul Kindrick
at Cfudad Juarez. Mexico In regard to the
gold discoveries in the Yaqui country. from
which 1t appears that seekers after the yell
! low metal, discouraged by the rigors and
| hardships of an Alaskan winter, are devot-
ing considerable attention to the southern
Eldorado.
For the past month";" says the consul
'as many as twenty prospectors each week
nave fitted out at Ell Paso, Tex, and de-
parted over the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre
ard Pacific road for the Yaqui territory.
Reports coming back from them have been
generally favorable. few days ago
rich vein was struck near Guaynopa which
runs 5000 ounces of silver and II ounces of
gold to the ton. But, however rich the de-
posits may be, L would not recommend that
any one seek his fortune there with a mere
pan and pick. There is, without doubt
considerable gold there: but, to be worked
profitabiy, plenty of capital and the most
improved .!l machinery are requisite.
The Yaqui gold country is reached by
taking the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and
, Pacific road at Ciudad Juarez. Mexico, for
CaSas GrandeS, $50 miles to the southwest
AFTER winding among the dehles of the
mountains, the prospector will enter the
valley of the Yaqui river. Many extrava-
CANT stories have been told of the exist
ence of placer and quartz gold in this val
gold in meager quantities. Until recently
the admission of miners to this territory
was denied by the Indars, and this prob
ably caused the exaggerated reports about
the deposits of the precious metal Until
lately the Indians rebelled against certain
laws of the Mexican government; but now
treaty with them is in effect, and they
are peaceable. For many years the In
dians have sold gold to traders. but it has
been impossible to determine low rich the
deposits are. AS stated above. it will re-
Guire plenty of capital to mine it profitably.
1T is a virgin country from Casas
Grandes to the gold fields Plenty of deer,
bear and turkey can be found to supply
the traveller with fresh meat. Springs and
small streams of fresh water numer-
Gus. AS far as Chuachupa corn, flour, po-
tatoeS and other necesSaries can be pur-
chased from settlers.
prospecting in the Yaqui country is rel
aGvely cheap. Everything purchased is
paid for in Mexican money. The climate is
he althful, and work can be prosecuted for
365 days in the year. The mining laws of
the republic of Mexico insure the prospec-
tor full protection and enjoyment of any
thing valuable he may find
