Counts for the Gold Jcwelry That Goes
Into the Minis Melting Pot.
(From the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocraO: "Yes, we receive lots Of things
that we hate to see go into the melting
pot" said an old mint attache. Folks
in financial distress bring Uncle Sam
al, manner of heirlooms. which are
bought over the counter for their
naked weight In gold or silver bullion.
Art or antiquity don't count at the
mint, and a candelabra by Benvenuto
Cellini himself wouldn't bring more
than a lump Of raw metal from the
smelter. We get plate OF every de-
scription, old watch cases, rings,
chains, snuff boxes, spectacle frames
and jewelry mounts without number.
In this section of the South there are
ness Of travelling through the rural dis
tricts and buying up all the old gold
and silver they can find. They are
experts in Judging Of the fineness OF
metal and they pay as little as they
can, SO there must be big profit in
| the trade AS rule the stuff they
bring us and that finds It's way here
through other channels is old
and broken and uninteresting
but now and then something
Of rare artistic value turns III

Of their relics lost forever In the melt

The Bell-Conness election contest
case in the town of Brule has been set
tied, Judge Vinje Diminishing the case,
after having it under adyisement sew
eral DAYS. A great many witnesses had
given testimony, but no proof could be
obtained that votes had been secured
through generous help from the poor
fund, or that men had voted who had
no intention of making their home In
the town. Thus this much talked oil
case has been settled by the Judge, and
those who think it an easy matter to
proye that votes are to be had for the
buying in Douglas county will now re-
nlise that it is easier said than done
Peace reigns once more.

MASKED PITFALLS
OF Ouic!isand Found In the Desert of

or Ouic!isand Found In the Desert of
Arizona.
Curious but dangerous freaks of ma
ture frequently found in the desert OF
Arizona are called Sumideros by the
Mexicans and Indians. They are
masked pitfalls of quicksand that oc-
cur in the dry plains and are COW
cred with a treacherous crust of clay
that has been spread over them in fine
particles by the wind and baked dry by
the sun. The peculiar properties of
the soil retain all the moisture drained
into them after the infrequent rains,
and allow it to be filtered to unknown
depths, so that a man or horse or
cow or a sheep that once steps upon
that deceptive crust instantly sinks out
Of sight beyond hope Of rescue. The
'Sumideros are on a level with the sur
face Of the desert. There is no danger
cannot be distinguished by the or
binary eye from the hard clay that sur
rounds them. They occur most fire.
Quently in the alkali-coyered flats. and
are often fifteen or twenty feet in
diameter. Sometimes they are only
little pockets or wells that man can
leap across, but the longest pole has
never found their bottom. A stone
thrown through the crust sinks to I'M
known depths, and no man who ever
| fell into one Of them was rescued
They account for the mysterious dis
! appearance of many men and cattle.

Cotton Development In South.

Cotton manufacturing in the South
has witnessed a phenomenal growth
during the last few months. Special
reports show U that fifty new cotton
mills are being built or have been
projected during this period. involving
an estimated outlay Of about S11,5Oo.-
900 and the employment OF approx
mately 100000 new spindles; (2) that
thirty-nine established concerns are
making or will make engagements at
an estimated cost of S5,0O0,O 900, and en-
ploying 100000 new spindles. This
means that in the short space Of five
months definite provisions have been
made for about s17,000,O00 new capital
and about 100000 new spindles to be
added to the productive capacity Of the
South. Much the larger portion OF t-lls
expansion takes place in South Caro-
lima and North Carolina.

TROLLEY CARS IN MARSEiLLES
After Fifty Years the State VIII Own
and Operate the Lines.

and Operate the Lines.
From the New York Tribune: For
eign cities have been much slower
than those of America to adopt electric
traction, but they are now coming to
it rapidly. The public conveyances OK
Marseilles for many years have been
omnibuses and horse cars. The latter
are now to go, and most of the former
will also now disappear, no doubt, at
least in streets served by electricity.
About two years ago the Compagnle
General Franchise De Tramways OF
Paris secured the necessary concession
for working the revolution now IN
progress in Marseilles. Before the
close of 1899 it is probable that all the
principal thoroughfares of the latter
city will have trolley cars In opera
ton. The uniform fare for short and
long rides will be 10 centimes. or z
cents of American money. Hitherto II
has been customary to charge cents
for rides beyond a certain limit Inc
concession will expire in 1850. Not
only must the company pay the city
an annual fee of $4,000 for the use OF
the streets, and an additional tax based
on receipts after these exceed $1,4oo,-
| 600 year, but at the end Of fifty years
| the tracks and appurtenances pass into
| the hands of the municipality. Ii
during the last five years of the con-
cession it appears that the company Is
! allowing its property to oeteriorate
the state reserves the right to seize
the company's revenues to maintain
the road in good condition. The stats
| will take such rolling stock as 1t wants
| from the company in 1850, but is I'M
der no obligation to pay for more thar
it wants. The state may require tn
holders Of the concession to remov'
the tracks at the end Of the fifty year
If it is not deemed expedient then u
continue the operation of the road.

SANTA FE's BIG ORDER.
Rolling Stock For Delivery at Cali
fornia In JULY.

According to a San Francisco paper,
the Santa Fe people are already ar
ranging for lot of new rolling stock
for the Valley railroad. They have
commenced building for the use of the
latter $50 box cars at their shops in
Topeka, Kan. These cars are to have a
capacity of $4,000 pounds each. In adj
dition, the Santa Fe has invited bids
from the eastern car manufactures for
the construction of LOCO box cars. All
of this new rolling stock is TO be deliv-
cred here during the months of July,
August and September. 1t is under
stood that six passenger and ten freight
locomotives for use on the Valley road
will shortly be ordered by President Z.
p. Ripley of the Santa F'e from a New
York firm.
While Superintendent of Machinery
John Player of the Santa Fe, who is in
San Francisco at present, refuses to
talk on the subject, it is generally I'M
derstood that he has decided upon
Stockton as the proper site for ma
chine and repair shops, which the COM
pany viii need at the end of its over
land system. In a general way it is
known that plans for five or six build
ings are to be prepared, and their esti-
