Mining Items.

Mr.. James Yerxa, came in Thursday
from his mines on the head of Spring
creek, where he is engaged in develop
ing a group of claims called Dakota
Anaconda" which bear promise of be
coming n the near future profitable
producer of the precious metal, gold, as
well as copper.
About the 1st Of the week we noticed
some machinery which had been un-
loaded at our depot, which upon exam
ination proved to be a Willfy concentra-
tor. 1t was marked for the Old Bill
mine, the property of Mr.. H. N. Ross
situated about 4 miles north of town
We were told that it was shipped in by
Mr.. L. B. Parker. from Denver, Colo.
and is designed to be placed in the
Alexander mill at Four Mile, for the
purpose of testing the ore of the "Old
Bill" and other mines in the district
We hope the enterprise will meet with
success.
The work is progressing on the Lizzie
mine with very favorable results. The

is quartz and quartzite gouge full o
pyrite, apparently of an arsenical char
acter, which bids fair to yield well in
gold. 1t is presumed that it will take
| 10 feet more to cross cut the vein, wher
it is expected to reach the rich coppe
streak which lays next to the hanging
wall as shown in the workings abov
before the vein dipped out of the shaft

NO SITE FOR GUILLOTINE.
Famous Machine In Paris May Have
to he Erected Outside the
city Limits.

The guillotine at Paris is just now
homeless. Some months ago the mu-
nicipal council, in obedience TO the pow
erful influences of property owners, de-
creed that public executions should no
longer take place in the famous Square
de la itoquetie. but the choice of an
other place was postponed for ii time.
1t il now stated that The authorities
have on their hands All accums la ion
of criminals awaiting execution.
The aldermen are al oss to know
where the ghastly machine may be
erected. So far every proposal of a new
place has met such fierce opposition
from the inhabitants Of the neighbor-
hood that they had to be abandoned.
Finally the municipal council, whose
majority is against capital punishmen,
anyhow, notified the state in the per-
son Of the present prefect Of police, that
the municipality was not called upon
to furnish a suitable spot for the bar
barous practice. This may raise an in
teresting conflict.
Deibler, Jr., hereafter will proba bly
be compelled to operate on some empty
lot just outside the city limits.

StabIerB rBrOS,
Currency Bills Before Congress.

The chief f-atufes of the House bill
are those xhich relate 10 the metallic
standard. The substance of the hils
has reached the public. but heretofore
in somewhat disconnected form The
following is synopsis OF the main fee.
lures of the House bill:
/. That the present gold dollar is the
standard unit Of value in the United
States.
9. That all interest bearing obligat ons
of the United States for the payment OF
money, now existing or hereafter issued,
and all United States notes and treasur,
notes shall be deemed to be paid in gold
coin, and that all other obliRa ions, pu,
lie and private, shall be performed in
conformity with this standard.
8. That there shsll be established in
The Treasury Department division ef
issue and redemption, which shall keep
gold reserve TO the maintenance of the
parity Of money, separate from the f'cal
operations OF the Treasury.
That gold reserve shall be consti
tuted equal to 25 per cent. of the COM
bined amount of United States notes and
treasury notes outstanding.
That the Secretary of the Treasury
may sell 8 per GEN.. bonds payable in
gold whenever necessary TO maintain the
gold reserve at q proper amount and to
maintain the parity OF all forms of money
Issued by the United States.
These provisions are 90 clesr.cut and
straightforward that they practically OK
plain themselves. If enacted into law
they will place the United States among
the other advanced commercial nations,
with gold as the fixed standard of value
The Senate bill has not yet been given
final form. but differs mainly from the
House bill in creating stronger gold re
serve and giving the Secretary of the
Treasury even broader powers. The
House bill would provide gold reserve
at the outset of about SIP 900 900. The
Senate bill will place this amount much
higher, probably at the even sum OF
$l50,O0O,OO0. The House bill provides
for maintaining the silver dollars at par.
ity with gold by authorizing the Secre.
tsry of the Treasury at his discretion to
exchange gold coin for any other money
issued or coined by the United States.
The Senate bill is expected to leave no
discretion to the Secretary, but to put
every holder of gold or silver dollar
upon the same plane by providing for
exchsngeabilitv OF either coin for the
other at the will of the holder-From

ARE A SUCCESS.
tleship Kentucky Are Tested
In Rough Weather.

Naval contractors are elated over the
report which has reached Washington
from Newport News of the admirable
performance of the new batileship Ken
lucky, the sister ship Of the kearsarge.
Capt. Chester, the commanding officer,
writes that the ship was particularly
steady, rolling only slightly. The
weather was such as to test the ability
Of IA large ship. and the results are the
more gratifying TO the designers be-
cause there has been some question as
to he effect of the great weights rep
resented by the double turrets on the
deck.
1t became great problem whether
the lwo-storied turrets. containing four
heavy guns each, would not seriously
affect the stability of the ship. The
ejaculation was SO well worked out that
even under most adverse conditions
the battleship showed itself one of the
most steady of naval vessels. The con-
tinuance of the Goub,e-tleckcd turre;s S
on the Kentucky and kearsarge. there
fore. is a question of Il purely military
nature. II they be deemed Il great quail
ity from the strategisi's point of view
they will be kept on the vessels. EN-
perience alone will show the value of
the feature.

CANAL MODELS FINISHED.
Chicago Sanitary Channel in Minia-
ture to Go to the Paris
Expedition.

Edwin Z. Howell, proprietor of the
Microcosm, of Washington, has just
finished and is preparing for shipment
to Paris two models showing as many
sections of the Chicago drainage canal.
These models are being sent at the ex-
pense of the corporation that has the
work of the canal in hand, and will be
placed on exhibition at the Paris ex-
position. One model shows the con-
trolling works of the canal at Lockport,
with the big automatic dams and sluice
gates.
Another model shows a section near
Willow Springs, including the swing
bridge that crosses the canal at that
point. On one side of the bridge is the
dirt bottom of the canal, while on the
other side is the solid rock. bottom.
The waste Of rock and earth taken from
the canal, which is piled up on either
side, appears in the miniature produc-
tion. The material used in the model
is exactly the same as that taken from
the canal. A third model, which will
not be completed for several weeks,
will show the canal in its entire length.

proposed legislation, as may be seen
by the following quotations therefrom :
"There can be but one standard of Civ.

in any degree in essential characteris-

Proud Of III. M.rksm...h,p.

Mr.. Rubio became Mexican minister
of the interior under President Diaz.
The latter is passionately fond of duck
hunting. Rubio is not. but he was per-
suaded to join the president on an ex-
pedition. While on the lake one day
Diaz saw number of ducks rise on the
opposite side and begin flying toward
him. He took position in the bow of the
boat and the boatman padded slowly
toward the bank. just as Diaz raised
his gun to fire the boat struck bottom
and the president sat down in the mud.
without noticing the interruption he
let go both barrels and brought down
two ducks. Then he quietly turned to
Rubio and said: 81 wonder II the pres-
ident of the United States could beat
that"

The little hamlet of House, situated in
wild spot 20 miles from Nice, at an al
titude OF 500 yards, has been thrown in

eagle had been observed lowering over
the village for some days, and last week
carried OFF a small pig from the same

claws, but he was too far o n to interfere.
The rocks near House. where it is sup
posed the eagle had its eyrie. have been
thoroughly searched, but no trace of
the body has been found.

The foregoing periods of time mark
the beginning and the close of the busy
life of Brother Frank NJ. West, whose
inanimate form lies before Us, and whose
departure in the prime of life is 80
deeply mourned by a devoted wife, low
ing children, mother, brothers and
friends In the month OF October, 1882,
the deceased was married to Rachel
Kerns, and to them were given five
children, four OF whom are still living,
the fifth, George, having preceded her
father few years to the great beyond.
During the wonderful revival con-
Quoted by Rev. Leroy Clemmens at the
old brick church on the hill, in February
1885, when 80 many weary pilgrims
sought and found Christ, he was among
the number. His childhood, youth and
what of his manhood allotted him, have
all ibeen spent in this community. In
the esrly part of 1883 bis commercial
career began in our midst, and the
steady growth of the then small busine ss
to the one of large proportions, so re-
Gently disposed of, is positive mark OF
the esteem in which he was held by his
neighbors, as we'll as monument to his
untiring energy. The above, together
with his career as Postmaster at the vii
lsge and Clerk of the township, comprise
the principal features of his life as the
world met him, and who has had any
dealings with him in any of the duties
devolved upon him who has not seen
that he at least thought that "life ia
real, life is earnest" In his home be
was an ideal husband aud father, and
every moment not Of necessity required
in his business life, was spent in that
home. To the bereaved family and
mourning friends, who may feel that
such acts of Divine providence are, to
say the least, beyond their understand
ing, we can only cite to them the follow
ing lines Of some unknown author:
Fsarsst sometimes that the Father hath forgot,
When the clouds around thee gather?
Doubt him NOT.
Always hath He onOfogt spokep,
Mover hath His word bssn broken.
Better hath He been fog ysars
Thaa Thy fears. -
