When the machinery of both is started, his

His idea is that two thirds of the energy

twenty knots would, with the same power
make between fifty and sixty knots, or
would run from New York to Liverpool IN
say two days and sixteen hours. From San
Francisco to Manila would require less than
eight days to round the world, twenty-five
days, allowing for slow time by rail across
our continent. If this cannot all be real

made the invention will eventuate in Ship

twenty knots are now made, and reduce the

way, this is about the first radical change in
the model of ships since Noah started out
on the waters with his lifesaver.

Two Rare Minerals Found In QQanti
ties i'm Vermont Mines.


Brattleborough (Vt) Letter in Springfield
(Mass.) Republican.
1t would seem foolish for Vermonters to
go to Klondnxe in search of treasure, when
the rugged hills of Windsor and other cOun-
ties abound in wealth, as do the hills just
shire side. 1t is an interesting fact that
Lincoln hill. in WeStmOreland. about mile
from the ellison ferry has been worked for
some time for a valuable ore, which is being
brought out in paying quantities. The story
of Its discovery is interesting and unusual
to the residents of West Chesterfield and
Westmoreland, who are watching with no
little expectation the development of the
five years ago dreamed three nights in sue
cession that there was gold in a certain To-
cality on the hill, and finally made her
dreams known TO her husband who spent all
his money in INVESTIGATING and whose belief
in the value of the mine was so strong that
he went TO Boston and found an English
miner who returned with him to Chesterfield
where the latter put in a tunnel TO strike a
ledge in the locality where Mrs. Lincoln
had dreamed gold could be found. Suisse
quently DR.. Charles T.. Jackson, of Boston,
the chemist, investigated the tunnel, which
he found TO be about forty feet In length.
The ore taken out was chiefly molybdenite.
1t is used for making assays in ascertaining
phosphoric acid. 1t also makes a most beau
tiful blue, but has never been found in suffi-
cient quantities TO be profitably available
in this use Extensive experiments are now
being made TO use the mineral in the manu-
faoture of high-grade steel Two miles away
from this tunnel is a fiuorite mine, the latter
being about one mile from the summer
home of Mr.. Overman, of your city.
From this mine resident of the town
says he has carried out thirteen different
and handsome specimens of various coors.
William Writ Chapman. an experienced
miner from Colorado, I'm 1871, backed by a
syndicate of wealthy New York men, went
to Westmoreland and reopened these mines,

NUMEROUS DRUNKEN BRAWLS AND
DEADLY AFFRAYs AT PANA.
Several Double Tragedies, Murders
and Fatal street Encounters In
Cities and Rural Districts.

PANA. ILL.,, Dec. 26.-The Christmas festiv-
tiles have resulted in innumerable drunken
brawls and encounters between union and
negro nonunion miners. Eleven of the lat
ter are in Jail and as many more are purs-
ing serious wounds. Two negroes fought a
duel with knives in West Pana, and both
were badly cut up. James Mayors, non
union miner, was assaulted tonight by IN
identified persons, and his injuries are re-
ported to be fatal. A negro miner named
Snyder attempted to shoot his wife this
afternoon. A bystander turned the gun and
the charge entered Snyder's right lung, max
ing a fatal wound. The provost guard to-
day arrested twenty persons, among them

Good Meals Cost Only ST in the I<IOn-

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec, 26-The steamer
Farrallon has arrived from Alaska with a
number of passengers from Dawson direct
who came out over the ice. The trail is
good and large number of people are on
the way out. Among the passengers is Jack
Carr, Yukon mail carrier who left Dawson
Nov. p. He says the population of Dawson
City has materially decreased, it being now
estimated at $1,000. Cost of living has also
decreased good meals costing but 81. There
will be no food shortage this winter There
is little hope of the mail service being kept
up between Dawson and the outside world
this winter.
The body of J. H. Cadenhead Dominion

near Dawson on Oct o. He had left Sui
phur creek the day previous, and in the night
had broken through the ice. Unable to pull
himself out, he slowly froze to death. Be

ing mill, attempted, to-day, to kill the wife
of James Anderson, a well-known burglar,

weapon on himself with immediate fatal
effect. Anderson is serving a term in the

some. She refused He fired twice at her,

wounding her arm. Johnson went into the
yard and shot himself twice, the last pene-
trating his brain. Mrs. Anderson was taken
to the hospital. She will probably recover.

doing some surface work. At that time the
mineral had almost no commercial value,
the matter of mining being simply expert
mental. Nothing was done with the prop
erty until about four months ago, when
Mr.. Chapman returned and began operations
with small force of men. He has taken
out a quantity of the richest molybdentie
yet discovered most of it being absolutely
pure, for which there is an urgent demand.
Mr.. Chapman declares that Mrs. Lincoln's
dream was not altogether a vision. The
work will be continued, undoubtedly with
successful results. The tuorite or fiuospar

colors that of this locality being of beauti-
full shades of green. The locality being
worked seems to be able to supply an
abundance, the vein being several feet in
thickness in the hillside, while mining is
easy and cheap. The fiuor,Ie mine will be
opened soon. Mr.. Chapman has already
large supply of the mineral ready for ship
ment. So far as known here there has been
no attempt to make it a stock-jobbing az
fair, either by selling shares or otherwise
unduly urging it's promotion, and the money
so far expended has come from the owners
of the plant.

Hearney, aged twenty-eight years, was
found badly burned last evening at her home
in the tenement building at No. 1O3 Detroit
street. Her bed was partly burned. She
now lies in st. Johns Hospital at the point
of death. The cause of the fire was given
by the woman and her husband, Joseph
Hearney, a labOrer, as the explosion of
lamp. AT an early hour this morning, how
ever, the police obtained from the nine
year-old daughter of the couple the state
ment that Hearney came home intoxicated
and because his wife would not get out of
bed and cook him meal, soaked some rags
in coal oil, lighted them and threw them on
her bed. The police placed Hearney under
arrest.
