Good judges affirm that they bid fair to

two lodges, one on each side Of the cen.

Still further north there has been quite
extensive prospecting done on large

bricks map Of this immediate section,
II will be observed that these parallel
veins are continuous for miles, and do not
merge into each other. They plough
their way independently through mount.
ain and canyon and are diverged by no
obstacle.
Toward the south side Of the district Is
ledge varying from ten to eight feet In
width, which can be traced by the crop
pings for miles, which has scarcely been
chated with pick or shovel the whole dis.
tance, Notwithstanding the rock Is Of a
lively character and assays prove II car.
ries low values. North Of II runs the
Little Cracker ledge, then the Z. 4 Z.
ledge, then the Ohio system, and still
further north are two other leads of great
width, all being comparatively about the
same distance between each other. They
run parallel and are separate and distinct.
As Il has been proven that these out.
side lodges carry values on the surface as
good as the central lode, and as they ex.
tend from northeast to southwest for
miles, II can be seen what q field there Is
opened for the operation Of capital In de.
The peculiarity OF the district as shown
by development, is that the main lodges
are large, are low grade on the surface
and improve with depth. The average
assays from the best on the surface show
from two to four dollars per ton, rarely
exceeding tive dollars. As there must be
numerous smaller lodges scattered be.
tween the larger ones, and which are
blind on account Of the depth Of the soil,
II can readily be conjectured what such a

1--WE miles In width and as many In length,
may bring forth In time to come.

The Nonchalant Canton n,erchant.

Frequently on entering a Canton
chop You will find its owner with a
book in one hand and pipe or fan in the
other and wholly absorbed in his studies.
You will be doomed to disappointment
if you expect the smoker to start up at
once, all smiles and blandness, rubbing
his hands together as he makes shrewd
guess as to what he is likely to take out
of you and receiving you with obse-
Quiousness or with rudeness according
ly. Quite the reverse.
Your presence is apparently unnoticed
unless you happen to lift anything.
Then you hear that the fan has been ar
rested and feel that a keen eye is bent
on your movements all the while. But
it is not until you inquire for some ar
ticle that the gentleman, now certain
that you mean to trade, will rise with
out hustle from his seat, show you his
goods or state the price he means to
sell at, with polite yet careless air
which plainly says, IF it suits you, we
make an exchange. "-"Through China

SHORT LINE TO BE BUILT.
Attorney Grout so Informs Ex-senator
Fisher.

The Geneseo Republic presents the
interesting information that eX-Sena-
tor III. V. Fisher, while in Springfield
recently, met Attorney Grout and OBJ
tanned some information as to the
future of the new railroad through
Henry county. Mr.. Grout said that
the Hartman syndicate, purchasers OF
the road, state that they will build
the Peoria-Clinton line, and have Civ
en- him positive instructions that
there is to be no sale or abandonment
of any part of the right of way al
ready purchased. The contract with
the LeClede Construction company
and the Warren-Scharff company, MIR.
Grout says, included the right to sus-
pend work or discontinue it altogeth-
er. While the work is suspended the
contractors are held, the owners re-
fusing to discharge them The sub-con-
tractors are all that have been releas-
ed. And from all other sources where
inside information is supposed to ex-
list, Mr.. Fisher had assurance that the
line will he built, though it is not
thought the work of construction will
be resumed till next year.

Her Idea of 1t.

Journalism For Women" book
recently published in England, relates
a story of a woman journalist in the
north of England who wrote to a Lon
don paper for permission TO act as its
special correspondent during the visit Of
some royal personages to her town. The
editor of the paper, knowing her for d
good descriptive writer, gave the neces-
sary authority, with explicit inforna-
ton as to the last moment for receiving
copy. The moment came, but not the
copy, and the editor had to 90 to press
without it. The next day, no explana-
ton having arrived, he dispatched to
his special correspondent particularly
scathing and scornful letter. Then came
the excuse. 1t was long, but the root of
it amounted to exactly this:
II was so knocked up and had such
a headache after the ceremonies were
over that really did not feel equal to
the exertion of writing I thought it
would not matter.

ball Diamond.
The game of baseball scheduled for
yesterday between the whisker NOW
ers of Rock Island and Moline did not
come off. When the teams reached
it was ascertained that the diamond
had been rented to other parties. The
BARRIERS were told if they wished to
wait until o'clock they could have
the grounds, but they decided base
ball "nexts'' were too far apart, and
adjourned. 1t appears the owner of
the baseball lot was formerly man
ager of the Moline BARRIERS team. He
did not I'LL the place satisfactorily
and was recently superseded. A
lump of Indignation arose in his
throat. He accepted the turning
down without murmur Of complaint,
but awaited anxiously the time when
he should get sweet revenge. When
the BARRIERS called upon him to secure
consent to playing in his yard his OPP
portunity arrived. He told them they
could have the grounds. Then he set
about to arrange another game be-
tween the Moline Athletic associa-
tons team, of which he is manager,
and another club. His lot was Sc
lected as the battle ground. The game
was called early, so when the BARRIERS
reached the diamond they found they
were about 20 minutes late.
