arrival of one or more capitalists at San
ia Fe who branch out In various por-
tions of the territory in search of min
ing investments that have been present
ed to them by operators or promoters,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
other localities are enjoying the same
distinction.
The Klondike craze has abated and a
| majority of the companies which guar
anteed to pay dividends are levying as
sessments instead, and the steamships
that sought the Pacific in order to &C
%commodate the passenger rush are seek
ing employment elsewhere. Contrary
to expectations, the Klondike boom has
not injured mining in the states and
territories. 1t has intensified the inter-
| est of investors and now those who
built high hopes on the Klondike are
satisfied to look up legitimate mining
at home and place their money where
a reasonable profit is to be obtained
from safe investments.
The mineral Industry" has just com

duction of the United States during

So, 500, 900, is not included, for that is
conceded to Canada. The figures show
that the United States is still in the lead
of the gold producing countries, having
produced nearly $50, 600, 900. To be eX
act, the report reads:
1.-THE gold output of the United States

The Result Of Neglect.

The announcement that sit Is begin
ming to be realized that the short-com'
ings of our military service are so many
that delays are inevitable and that much
work will be necessary to put the ma
ton in efficient fighting shape" will
prove a disagreeable surprise to those
Americans who have spent the better
part of the past 80 years boasting that
"Uncle Sam can whip the whole crea.
ton" Still, there is nothing surprising
about it. For many years this country
has lived in peace with the rest of the
world; the little standing army, the
greater part quartered in isolated front
Ter post, has been looked upon as an ex
pensive plaything by the majority Of
the people, and instead of being kept in
fighting trim has been placed on as in.
expensive a scale as possible. True, in
the past decade there has been a gen.
eral awakening to the necessity for
building and maintaining a strong navy
for coast defense purposes, but the
army has been, in a large degree, neg
lected. Another thing which initiates
against any rapid movement by the
armies of occupation, is that but nee be-
fore in the history of the United States,
have troops been sentlnto distant lands
and different climates. For foreign
services the army is totally u%nprepared
as regards equipment, and all things
necessary for such work, uniforms,
camp equipment, and transportation
facilities, must be supplied, which is no
must be provided for.
An effort is already making to throw
the responsibility for the ineficiency Of
the army to meet the requirements of
the present emergency, upon the off
GERS who are in charge. But that is
shameless nonsense, prompted by a
desire to find q scape goat for the negli-
gence and carelessness of the sena-
tors and representatives who have
controlled the finances of the ma
ton for the past quarter of q century.
The men who have occupied seats in
the halls Of congress, term after term,
upon the questionable reputation of be-
ing watchdogs of the treasury, are the
ones who should bear the brunt of the
disappointment and chagrin of the peo-
pie. To maintain an army, no matter
how small, on an efficient footing, re-
quires money, and the officers in the
service have had nc opportunity to &C.
quit themselves of their responsibility
in a creditable manner, because of the
lack of that great requisite.
However, the end is not yet, neither
Is the wal lost, and a few weeks time
will work wonders in Strengthening out
the snarls. or money for military pur-
poses there is now no lack, and the &C.
culumative momentum Of activity in
preparation will Don place both the
volunteer and regular branches Of the
military arm Of the government in o
creditable and efficient shape.

about this company is that it is nearly

FAMOUS ABBEY.
Among It's Members Are Many Men who
Bore High Titles.

The pope has received in private au-
dience the able of the famous Abbey
OF Benzon, at Seckau. in Germany, one
OF the best-known and most celebrated
monasteries, especially a of the
high station OF the monks who are gath
cred there. The able spoke separately
and in detail OF each of his dependent
brother monks. and Leo XIII. heard
with interest OF their welfare. The
monks of the abbe include Prince Philip
of Hohenlohe. who has hidden a definite
adieu to the world: Father Charles, un-
der which name IL concealed the iden-
tity of a brilliant e~x-cavalry officer be-
longing to an illustrious house; Prince
Edward acknowledgements. Father
Benedict. Father Sebastian, once a ma
jor in the Saxon army, bearing the
name of Baron Won Dor; Father John,
who was Baron Won Drais. and al

brace this career; Father Nicholas. who
was Baron Won Salis-Sogllo; Father
Hildebrand. who. before assuming the
cowl and gown. was a brave captain,
by name Count de Memptinne. n
many others, too numerous to mention.
The Abbey Seckau Is situated among
the mountains of Stelermark, in a thick,
wild forest. and in 80 years has brought
together Benedictine monks belonging
to the best-known families, celebrated
for nobility or riches, or distinguished
in the arts. This monastery, where the
rules are most rigorous. was founded
over so years & by two brothers,
Maurus and Placidus Wolter of Co
logne, two learned monks sent by Plus
TX. to Prussia to reorganize the mon
asteries there. The pious Princess
Catherine of Hohenzollern offered them
the ancient Abbey of Benzon to estab-
lish a new house. which came into ex-
istence in 1868. Around the two broth
ers there soon gathered literary men
and artists. especially from Dusseldorf,

George Walker. a resident of VIII
Transport. Ind. who has suffered ter
ribly from insomnia. claims to have
found a specific cure In the following
novel mode OF treatment. For nve
years Mr.. Walker suffered from fire.
quent spells OF insomnia. which were
always followed by severe headaches.
His employment was such hat he had
to do a great deal Of brain work in the
evening. The attacks Of insomnia n
the consequent headaches became so
frequent and distressing that he was
compelled to give up the greater part
of his evening work. Indeed. he a
almost made up his mind to resign his
position when he found immediate and
permanent relief by means OF a series
of exercises performed after getting
into bed at night and before rising In
the morning. Each exercise was done
first by the right limb N then the
left. These are the exercises:
Stretch out the big toe as far as pos
sible: then bend IL up toward the shin
as far al possible.
Grasp one calf with the hand and
swell up the muscles of the calf; then
relax them.
Place the hand in front OF the thigh,
swell up the large muscle. then relax IL.
Grasp the large muscle underneath
the thigh, swell n relax II.
Grasp the bicep muscle, swell and re-
lax II.
Grasp the large muscle at the back
OF the upper arm, swell and relax IL.
Grasp the large muscle on the tor OF
the shoulder. swell and relax II.
Open and shut the hand, at the same
time grasping the forearm.
Grasp the large, fiat muscle at the
side of the chest, swell and relax IL.
Raise the head from the pillow and
partly lower it again.
The whole attention must be fixed
upon h muscle-working. The grasp
ing of the muscles Is to enable one to
feel them working. Each exercise
should be slowly repeated so times be-
fore taking up the next. Mr.. Walker
says he ound hat he was seldom
awake long enough to go through the
whole series. He has mad only one bad
headache since he began to practice
these exercises nearly a year ago.
Another effect of the exercise is a
large increase in the size and strength
OF his muscles. When he first tried the
experiment he was able with great
difficulty to raise a 4%0-pound dumbbell.
After three months regular practice he
could raise the same dumbbell with
the greatest ease. In the meantime he
had purposely refrained from taking
any other athletic exercise.
