wiped out but it won't do ter risk it.
There'll be too many of 'em. I've got a
scheme I'm goin' ter spring on 'em.
Let's git back under cover an I'll tell
yet what it is"
When they reached their rude. shell
ter and lighted their pipes he outlined
his plan, as follows:
Upon sighting the party Rider was to
conceal himself in the woods near the
hut. Bowers himself was to remain in
the hut on the boughs which served
him for a bed, while Turner's part was
to meet the travellers and play the role
of a. decoy.
''They all know my phiz," said Bow
ers, 'an' some O. them knows Rider.
You are the only one they don't know.
OF course, Taylor will remember meet
in yer the other day when hewas goin'
in, an yer can tell him you've met. a
chap as is shot himself by mistake, an
is almost dead. Ask one of 'em ter
come an see if there's any chance fer
him, or sumthin' like that. One of 'em
is sure ter come, an when he gifts in
SAue elHe Sudu W we hlu 1lOlu ulm u =
darned quick"
'But what about the rest of tlhem?'
asked Rider.
"Why, yer chump, when this one
don't come back it's ten ter one tibet
another feller'H come lookin' arter
him, an We'll fix him too. Then if the
rest don't come We'll go out with our
guns all of a sudden an hold 'em up.
Well take all thar guns an horses an
light out lively fer Dawson City.
They'll be sure we've gone ter Dyea an
we'll git off clean with the gold. It's
higher ter Dawson anyhow, then it is
ter Dyea. We kin git down by water
an then take Their steamer fer Seattle,
while they're lookin' fer us round Dyea
or SlSaguay. See?"
"Great head" said Turner, senten-
.tiously, while even Rider began to be
impressed with the clever scheme. 1t
was also a great relief to know that
there was to be no bloodshed, for, bad
as he was, he had not the heart for such
deeds when he was sober.
After carefully discussing every
phase of their villainous plot and ar
ranging the details the trio stretched
themselves ON their rude beds and we're
soon sleeping as soundly as though no
guilt rested on their minds.

A SPEEDY FIGHTER,
Plan for an Entirely New Class Of
Warship for British Navy.
Believed By the Admiralty That she
Will he the Greatest Triumph In
Naval Archltecture-To Cost
S1,25O,OOO.

At the moment Emperor William was
telling Congressman Foss that the best
peace conference is strong navy, plans
had just passed the British admiralty
for an entirely new class of warship.
Great interest is taken in the new YES
sci, which was designed by Sir William
White, director of naval construction,
who has given a representative of the
press the following particulars:
I'VE believe she will be the greatest
triumph in naval architecture, both for
speed and fighting. She will cost, ready
for sea, about $1,25o,0oO; her speed will
be knot in excess of any British bat
tleship, and her guns, turrets, torpedo
tubes, nuts and booms will embody
ideas which experience and experiment
have proved far beyond anything yet
attempted in this or any other country.
Her guns will be generally Of smaller
caliber than those of the Bulwarls, now
building. She will be the longest and
broadcast warship ever laid down in a
government dockyard, while her draft
will be shallow. Her breadth is de-
signed to attain the maximum steadi-
ness under fire, and from her new steer
gear very excellent results are certain.
Forward will be the circular tops
mounted with rapid-tire guns. Her to-
tai armament will be SO guns. The
details as to their caliber for the pres
ent must be kept secret. Six torpedo
tubes will complete her equipment. Her
protection of harveyized steel will be
less than on the ships now building.
The Spanish-American war directed our
attention to coal capacity and nothing
will be wanting in that respect. Her
displacement will be $4,000 tons. The
new vessel, which will be laid down in
November at Davenport, Immediately
after the Bulwark is off the slip, should
be ready within year. She will be the
nearest approach yet attained to per-
feet combination of the fighting capac-
ity of battleship with the mobility of
q cruiser of that type advocated by one
of the highest naval authorities in the
world, Capt. Mahan."

NEED CATTLE INSPECTION.
Diseased Animals Found in Manila
Where Cattle Are Rutchered
for Use of Inhabitants.

Army surgeons have discovered .
serious condition of affairs at Manila
in the neighborhood where cattle are
butchered and served to the inhabitants
and the troops for food. Many animals
have been condemned us diseased, al
though the owners of the cattle pro-
tested against the killing of the beasts.
The reports just received at Washing
ton of the result of the first examine
ton held shows one animal was suf-
fering from acute catarrh and fever;
two were in advanced stages of fever,
seven had been made unfit for food by
starvation and neglect; one was hall
dead from blood poison, and two were
badly injured and in bad condition.
Five animals were rejected because
OF the presence of tuberculosis. Subse-
quent examinations disclosed much in
the same line.
A large number of leprous hogs were
discovered and killed.

CLAIMS OF AMERICANS,
Great Injustice Done Miners az United
States by Legislature of
British Columbia,

Ex-Representative James Hamilton
Lewis, Of Washington, has arrived at
Washington in the interest of num-
Der of American miners who have been
deprived of their property located in
British Columbia, valued at $25 5000, 900.
These miners went to Atlin, B. C., and
took up valuable mining claims, and the
Canadians, seeing the value of them,
looked about for a way to take the prop
erty from the Americans.
The legislature of British Columbia
passed a law prohibiting aliens from
holding mining property in that prov
ince. They did not stop here, however,
but made the law retroactive and con-
sequently the Americans were deprived
of their property without any COM
pensation whatever.
The British government Endorsed the
action of the provincial legislature, and
there the matter rests.
Mr.. Lewis is in Washington to lay the
matter before the state department and
wishes to have it made one of the ques-
lions to be dealt with by the joint high
commission when that body reassem-
bles. AS there is no treaty between
the United States and the British gov
ernment protecting the property Of
aliens it is difficult to see just how this
matter will be brought to the attention
of the joint high commission unless
Great Britain should agree to have this
done, which is improbable.
On the other hand, it is difficult to
see how any self-respecting govern
ment can deprive an alien of his vested
rights.
The property in question is said to
have an actual value of $1O,ooo,o0o,
but a conservative estimate places it's
prospective value at about S25. 900. 900,

MAN NEVER SATISFIED.
The Pcrvcrsity of Human Nature
Crops Out Even Under the Most
Advantageous circumstances.

How true it is that what man cannot
get he desires most. From the little
lad OF few summers, to the aged gen.
tleman of so years, there is no one to
whom this truth does not apply. The
boy sees toy and he wants one like it.
The world will never be right with him,
he thinks, until he has a jack-in-the-bo box
like that of his playmate whom his
mother takes him to visit once in
awhile, and then it's glory fades, and he
must needs have set of blocks and
build houses with them. He builds
houses for brief space, then sees
something else and wants that. Dresses
must soon give way to short trousers or
he will never be satisfied. He is finally
put into short trousers and for few
days he is quite the proudest creature
in the household. But the pleasure he
gets in thinking what a man he is soon
gives way to his desire to go to school;
that is followed by his anxiety to get
out of school and to college. But few
years of college life, Notwithstanding
its freedom from care, and it's delight
full friendships, cannot keep away the
restlessness to get out into active life
and to become man of the world, TAX
ing part in it's struggles and it's
progress. And then ambitions of one
kind or another come to him and he
strives and strives in this direction or in
that until he has attained his desire.
But the attainment thereof does not
bring with it the happiness he had an
ticipated. He must become rich, or he
must make an artist, or a physician, or
a literary man out of himself. But
when he has done so there seems to be
just as great distance as before be-
tween him and his long-pursued happi.
ness. And thus it goes the whole life
through, one thing following another,
and each one seeming to be the great
object of living, that upon which he
must center all his energies. This is
"divine unrest. Detroit Free Press!

1t was well for his plans that he did

1t was well for his plans that he did
keep sharp lookout, for before night
he saw speck far ahead on the trail
which he knew at once to be man. He
was standing on the edge of piece of
woods, and his companions were behind
him at the time. Stepping in the shad-
ow of the trees, he explained:
'"Thar's man comm, an I'll bet it's
one o. them we're after. He may hev
seen me, an it won't do fer us all ter
hide. He won't know you, Turner. You
keep on an pass Their time o. day with
him. Yer bound fer the fort, yer know.
Keep right on, an We'll hide till he's
out O. sight, then We'll overtake yer"
Turner at once walked ahead, while
his two companions secreted themselves
in the underbrush. They saw Turner
stop and. converse with the stranger a
few moments, when the latter drew near
them, and Bowers whispered:
''It's the man they call Taylor! He's
goin' after bosses sure!"
All unconscious of the proximity of
the two men. Taylor tramped sturdily
on, and was soon out of hearing in the
woods. Then the two left their ambush
and hurried after Turner, who awaited
them far out on the plain.
"What did he say?" inquired Bowers,
eagerly.
"Asked me where I was bound an
whether there was any bosses ter be got
in Dyea," said Turner. who never
seemed to waste word.
II knew it'll" declared Bowers. "Now
all we've got ter do is find snug place
this side whar the trail splits an take
it easy till the dust is under our eyes
He'll be back pretty quick if he gifts
any bosses an then we won't hev much
longer ter wait"
Several days later saw them securely
hidden in piece of dense woods, but
each day was divided into watches
when they took turns standing on SEN
tinel duty. From a knoll a short dis.
lance from the hut they had built the
trail was visible for fully mile, and
from daylight to dark they watched ii
closely.
Their patience was rewarded when.
late one afternoon, they saw Dick Tay.
lor riding along to the north, leading a
string of horses behind him.
"Our time is mostup now" said Bow
ers, grimly. "He'll fetch the mine by
to-mo1rer. Them two chaps with him
I've seen round Dyea. They're rich
chaps, I've heard. He's picked 'em up
an is goin' ter sell out"
"How many will there be- of them?'
asked Turner, sam how's the trick tie,
be done when they git here? Dyer
reckon a regular holdup, or what?"

Letter from Rollin.
oLLIN, SANTA CRUZ Co.,,

ARIz.. Oct. 25, 1899.
 EDITOR THE OAsIs-Doubtless your many readers would like to hear from this portion of the county. Our little burg is progressing rapidly and the smelting works will soon be in opera tion. The mines are being developed and many new fields are being opened up.
 We have a large mercantile estab- ment, also commodi0ns boarding house opened up; and several new residences; there are also preparations for others in progress. Propose estab. fishing a post office, also steam press and issue paper entitled Mag netic Free Press,n and feel bouyant over the prospect of getting move on the "push' at the line city
 This being about the center of the county it is now being strongly ad- vocated that the county seat be es abolished here, and in order to make a success sell some of the expensive public buildings at the line city, such as costly jails" and others of like character and apply the surplus funds to the roads in this and other port ions of the county
 There are many reasons to offer why Rollin should be the county seat, aside from it's central location It Is hard ship upon the citizens to be compelled to pay their fare on the railroad on account of the condition of the roads which are impossible in many places en route to the court house and the taxes are becoming to be oppressive.
 The land grant question is also get ting to be beyond endurance and pa tience has ceased to be a virtue. Uncle Sam surely does not know the situation of affairs, or he would take the Hon. Mark Smith's plan and have this complexed and perplexed ques- tion before congress, and settled, in order that the lands may be opened up and developed, thereby producing revenue for state and county. Citizens would be much encouraged and prosperity aud happiness would be the result. More anon.

 As for the application of any ~serews" being applied to this paper, to cause it to fall into line on any proposition, the only "screws" re- cognized by its editor is the dictates of his own conscience and a spirit of fairness and justice 10 all.
