SuIphurated Hydrogen.

In the quicksilver mines near Will
iams, Colusa county, California, and
in the tunnels driven for water near
Santa Barbara, Cal, and in many other
places, sulphurtted hydrogen has been
very annoying and dangerous to life
At Santa Barbara it proved fatal to
two workmen.
1t is highly poisonous when breathed
in concentrated form, and when pres
ent in the air in minute proportions it
is rapidly fatal to the lower order of
animals. A single gallon mixed with
twelve hundred Of air will render it
poisonous to birds, and in one hundred
it will kill a dog. When inhaled it
acts directly upon the blood, thicken-
ing it and turning it black.
When present In the air of cham
ber of a mine it may be instantaneous
ly destroyed by The action of small
quantity of free chlorine. Chlorine
manifests an intense affinity for hy-
drogen. When chlorine in free state
is brought in contact with sulphureted
hydrogen it tends to '.draw out as it
were, the hydrogen from its combina-
ton with sulphur, forming muriatic
acid, free sulphur being deposited, and
by this action absolutely destroys the
noxious sulphureted hydrogen gas.
Chlorine gas for this purpose can be
generated in the following manner:
Chloride of lime raixed with water and
exposed to the air in shallow vessels,
is placed upon high shelf. The COM
pound is gradually decomposed by the
carbonic acid Of the atmosphere, and
the chlorine evolved falls slowly down
from the high places. Owing to the
fact that it is very heavy gas when
compared with atmospheric air or sui
phurated hydrogen, is diffused through
the chambers or tunnels. If more
rapid action is required, little dilute
sulphuric or hydr,chloric acid may be
allowed to drop into the chloride of
lime solution from vessel suspended
above it, by means of piece of lamp
wick arranged in the form of siphon
Another method is to suspend in the
chambers cloths steeped in solution
of chloride of lime, care being taken to
avoid excess
Ii must be borne in mind that cblor-
inc in any form must be used only as
an end to proper ventilation. 1t is a
necessary condition for health that
our mines or tunnels be properly ven
tilated.

Thackeray's View Of Death.

The following is taken from letter
of coincidence written by Thackeray
to Mrs. Proctor on the death of her
mother, shortly before Thackeray's
death The letter is found in the bio
graphical introduction to Denis Duval
and shows the great novelist as he was
at heart, earnest and sublime; not the
cynic, the satirist that so many have
considered him. Thinking of DEATH"
says Thackeray, lis thinking of God
inscrutable, immeasurable, endless, be-
ginningless, supreme, awfully solitary.

Grand Old Arizona.

W tn all its faults we love Arizona.
No man who has lived in Arizona FIVE

high bound, orthodox system of the

will have your paw in one hand and
his grip in the other. 'Jist back from

grows more promising with each new

his confidence in this prospect by pur-
chasing it outright. Although it may
be year before it is established that
it is mine, yet the favorable indica-
tions are strong. The property lies in
an immense fissure, the continuity of
which is remarkable. The vein can be

one and one-half miles of the ledge.
An immense iron gossan hat caps the
entire vein: The ore found is red and

blend. A few character samples of ore

were examined yesterday. Their ex-

$4,000 SOLDIERS
viii Be Needed in Cuba
Says General Wood.
Santiago Customs Receipts Still Sub
iect to Ger. Brooke's Orders.
Trouble Again Feared Among Cubans When They
Realize The Situation.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Gen. Wood
continued his testimony before the
Senate committee on military affairs
today, dealing especially with the re-
quirements as to troops in Cuba. He
explained his estimate of $4,000 as the
number of troops necessary to be kept
in the entire island, saying that he had
placed the number SO high because the
effect of the climate was such as to
render a large per cent. of American
soldiers there ineffective for aggres-
sivc action.
OF his present force he did not believe
that to exceed one-half was now fit for
effective service. Ii could be almost
said that no troops stationed there had
escaped the disease due to the climate.
This fact accounted for the nonag-
gressve character of the Spanish cam
paign in the island and he thought,
explained why as many as 2SO Span
ish soldiers were required in the SER
vice there. He had found that the
Spanish were affected by the climate
just as the Americans were and also
that the Cubans themselves We're I'M
der constant liability to malaria. AS
many as 60 per cent. of the Cubans
were disabled.
1t was as yet too early to say wheth-
er our troops in the island would be-
come so acclimated that they would be
able to resist disease. He was hopeful
that by an elaborate system of SANTA
ton in the island improved conditions
might be secured. A year or two at
least would be necessary to decide this
problem.
Gen. Wood said that it was feasible
to construct a railroad line between
Santiago and Havana. and that a San
tiago firm had agreed to guarantee the
funds for the enterprise. The general
thought the enterprise would be a great
civilizer, 1t would he said. afford
employment to many men N the inter-
ior whose present principal employ
ment is that of carrying guns"
He spoke at considerable length in
regard TO the resources of Cuba, saying
that it could be made the market gar
den of the world.
