AUGUSTA LOCALS.
New America.

Her eyes are full of noble hope.
A quiet strength is in her hands.
She sees the years of splendid scope
That brighten in the morning lands;
The seas are Swallowed with her sails.
Through wider fields her pillow is sped,
Her cup of plenty never fails.
She feeds the nations with her bread.
She throws Ger many an alien race
The shield of equal posing law,
The weak are sheltered in her grace,
She keeps the violent in awe.
Around the world her eagle flies.
The peoples gather at her knees.
Her peaceful empire arches rise
Above strange lands in far-ot seas.

Railrca1 paiaver.

The local tigurers on railroad prop ositions have been busy the past week changing the gauge of the Arizona X New Mexico road. They point out that General Manager Kruttscbnitt made a trip up to Clifton. That after his return to San Francisco Mr. Wallace, connected with the mainte nance of way department of the Southern Pacific, came down and made trip up to Clifton. Only one conclusion could be drawn from these visits, namely, that the Southern Pacific was going to buy the Arizona & New Mexico road. Of course if the Southern Pacific did this it would make it standard gauge road, it would make a union depot, it would continue the road from Guthrie to SolOmonville, and there connect with the Gila Valley road, which is said to be ready to drop into the Southern Pacific's hands, it. would build a branch to Morenci from Guthrie, it would continue the road from Globe into the northern part of the territory, and probably through and hit the main line at MOhaye. There are various other combi nations figured out, such as running the line north to connect with the Union Pacific. When the local railroad builders get to work it is astonishing what large and complete railroad systems can be built, with Lordsburg as the head quarters. The Liberal is informed that as yet the papers transferring the Arizona & New Mexico road to the Southern Pacific have not been signed.

A Mammoth Cave.

The Coconino sun thus describes Il recently discovered cave located in Oak creek canyon: 'The cave had an entrance fully twenty feet high and extends into the rock distance of 50 feet At the entrance the width is about fifteen feet, which widens to D feet near the center, then gradually closes in until it comes to a sharp point, resembling an immense row boat turn ed upside down. Dust and leaves fill ed in the entrance, making a gradual slope to the rear of the cave. The wonder of the place is its walls. Water seeping through the crevices of the rocks for ages has caused the sides of the cave to present a corrugated ap- pearance, ribbons projecting from one to three inches from the walls. Some are as delicate as rose leaves, some rough and prickly, others polished as ivory, some gleaming with iridescent colors, others pure white. all glisten- ing with soft tints, like the shades of silk and satin. It is well worth any ones time and trouble to enjoy the beauties of this cave, and no doubt the many visitors to Oak creek canyon in the future will consider it one of the main attractions.

Federal Mining Laws.

The Los Angeles Mining Review prints in its last issue letter from Bingcr Hermann, United States Land Commissioner, Washington. on the subject of what the United States laws require in the matter of assessment work on mine locations, whether lode, placer or petroleum. The Commission CT says: When several contiguous mining locations are held in common, annual work for the benefit of all the locations done upon one or more of them in given year, to an amount equal t0 that required to be done upon all the locations in that year, meets the requirements of section 232I, U. $. Revised Statutes. " In another portion of his letter the commissioner says:
 In the case of Dolles ys. Hamberg Consolidated Mines company, t23 L. b. 267), the Honorable Secretary of the Interior decided that where q mineral claimant owns adjoining claims the annual work may be done on one of said claims, if such work is designed for the improvement or development of the group. In such case. however, the burden of proof is upon the owner to show that the work done, or inn proyements made: ,:does as matter of fact tend to the development of the property as whole. and that such work is part of a general scheme of improvement"

 MINE-OwNER's LIABILITY FOR IN- JURIEs TO EMPLOyEE.-Wh a fire is raging in the middle of mine, while an employee is below the fire, it is the duty of the mine owner to tele- graph to distant city and hire q special train to obtain appliances with which to extinguish the fire, if such is the only means of saving the employee $ life, as the rule of diligence, when life is at stake, requires the doing of every thing that gives reasonable promise of it's preservation, regardless of difficult ties or expense. An employers failure to use diligence in reScuing an em- ployee in the mine under such circum- stances is not excused by his acting pursuant to the unanimous opinion of other operatives. He is also liable for death caused by the failure of his superintendent to do what due di.i- gence required of him, because he was acting under excitement. In an action for damages for putting plaintitf $ minor son towork in a dangerous place, without her consent, whereby he was injured, the question of contributory negligence and negligence is imma- terial.

 ACQUISITION OF LODE CLAIM. The laws of the United States Revised Statutes, Sections 2,319, 2,320, 2,324), require that before the locator of a mining claim on public lands shall be entitled to same he shall have dis covered on unappropriated land q mineral bearing lode, and shall have marked the boundaries of his claim, So that they may be readily traced: but the finding of the lode need not precede the stalking of the claim, and hence, where a claim is located, and the locator afterward dis covers lode in same, before the claim has been discovered by another, he has a valid claim to same. That part of the land on which miner located a claim was patented to another without his objection does not prevent him from including the part unappropri- ated in another claim located on ad- joining land and obtaining valid patent to the claim thus established.

POET BURNS AS PUGILlST.
A rlasOnic Souvenir of fiis Fighting
 Ability Owned In Chicago.

Ability Owned tn (ntca&O.
 A part of the Masonic altar that once brought the Scottish bard, Robert Burns, in dire disgrace before his lodge Is now in the possession of Chicago woman, Mrs. w. F. Punch of 1850 Sid ney avenue, and is treasured by her as family heirloom, says the Chicago Tribune.
 Mrs. Punch is by birth a Canadian of Scotch origin. In the days when her grandfather, George MacRae, was young he attended the same lodge as did Robbie Burns and was one of the "lichts'' of the town. One night be- fore lodge meeting the poet and Mac Rae sat long together
 Bousing at the happy
 And gettn fou and unco happy.
 And then arm in arm they sauntered slowly to the room where the Masons were wat to assemble.
 All would have gone well had not Burns desired to show his Masonic brethern how good pugilist he was, and he let go heavy undercutat Mac Rae, arousing the latter's fighting blood, and the bout began, which re- suited in MacRae being felled to the floor and Bobbie Burns throwing the four legged altar, or stand, tt him as he attempted to rise.
 Luckily he missed his aim, and the stand struck violently against the wall, shattering completely one oi' the legs.
 At the following meeting: the two friends were brought before the order for trial. A fine was imposed on them, and they were made to replace the al- tar. The broken one was thrown out, and as MacRae went home he carried the stand with him.
 It is about two feet high snd is of a style out of use today in the Masonic order. 1t has since been prt tserved in the family as an heirloom.

The W orid's Supply of Gold

In the opinion of Director of the Mint Roberts the worlds supply of gold would be seriously affected in case of q war between Great Britain and the Transvaal republic. The de- gree of influence would depend of course, on the extent and duration of hostilties. The Transvaal republic is at present the largest producer of gold in the world, and the indications up to the present time have been that large gains would be made during the current year in the output from that part of the world. ''Thc total out put of the republic last year." says MT. Roberts, twas SSs, 5000, GOO. and that was great jump above the year before. During July of this year the gold product of the republic amounted to over SS,00O,0O the larg- est ever taken out in one month. At this rate each month the yearly pro- duct would be close to Sl00,000 ,0OO. Including the gold mined in other parts of South Africa the output would fully reach that figure.

Guns Recaptured.

London, Dee. 20.-An unofficial dis
patch from Chievely Camp says that
The guns lost by General Butler at
the battle at Tugela River en- last
Friday have been recaptured. An
other correspondent says that only
four Of the ten guns abandoned were
recovered.
The guns were left near the bank
Of The river, and we're in the zone OF
heavy Boer rife fire from tho oppo-
sic bank.
General Butler, the dispatch says,
called for volunteers to bring back
the guns. and at midnight, after the
battle, small party crept forward
and dragged the heavy ordinance
out of range OF the Boer fire, and
then, with horses, hauled tile pieces
to Chievely Camp. An eleventh
gun had been shattered during the
battle by well-aimed Boer shell.
Until the guns were recovered
they were covered by General Hid
yards artillery, and the Beers did
OF dare to cross the river 10 carry
them off.
