A Fortunate Lady.

Miss NJ. d. Crissman received tele-
gram on last Friday announcing the
death OF her uncle, Jacob S. Crissman of
Montana. He was an old settler, having
gone there when a young man, and lived
the average life of three score years and
ten. He was one of the successful men
and accumulated considerable wealth.
There being no other heirs, Miss Crisis
man will in all probability become one of
the wealthiest young ladies in Gilpin
county. Her ambitions and lady-like
manner of doing business are credit to
her patrons. However, this will not in
any way interfere with her business, as
the work she does is the work she pre-
iers. She says she has always been com
Portable and had a good home, and ex-
poets to continue Just the same. She
says she can stand prosperity. Her
uncle passed through here en- route
from the Omaha Exposition, telcgraphed
her to meet him. She spent what time
with him that he stayed in Denver.
Leaving him at the Union depot, he as.
sured her that he would make her com

UNITED STATES MINT REPORT

Director of the United States mint,
George e. Roberts, makes the following
statement of the production of gold and
silver in this country for 1898. 1t is
based upon information received from of
ticlals and agents of the bureau of stats
tics. While Colorado takes the lead
nearly all the states and territories show
an increased production. The following
tabulated statement gives the compare
tive amounts for 1897 and 1893, which is
copied from the Denver Mining Re-

FIRST STAGE OF A MINE. !

\iThe first stage of gold quartz mine
figures as fissure in the earth's crust.
The fracture may extend down as far as
say 5000 feet, or to point where the
crust is pasty and elastic. The second
state is the vein filling. If the matrx be
quartz it is a favorite theory that it
must have been deposited there from and
by the extremely hot water percolating
through the shattered yock below, and
finding its outlet through the open fis-
sures. With the silica come the metallic
sulphides, usually iron pyrites carrying
gold. According to such hypothesis, as
the waters loaded with the minerals ap-
preached the surface they gradually be-
come cooler and the minerals were de-
posted in the fissure and the vein max
ing was complete.

Fast naiI to Seattle,

The widespread public interest in the
contest for the fast mail contract be-
tween Chicago and Omaha has caused
one to temporarily overlook the similar
achievement of the Great Northern rail.
way in establishing quick mail commu.
nication from New York, via Chicago and
st. Paul, to Seattle, and thence to 4ethe
Orient. The fast Pacific mail service by
way of st. Paul to the Puget Sound coun-
try is now quite as remarkable as that
via Omaha to San Francisco. On Janu.
ary 3 the Great Northcn placed in service
fast through mail and passenger train
from Chicago to Seattle, on which the
mail pouches never once leave the car
after the transfer at St. Paul.
New York to Seattle the time by this
Northern route is just four days. Eas:
of st. Paul the mails are carried on sew.
eral roads, but west of that city-on a
run exceeding tho eastern portion by 500
mies-the mail goes through without
change across five great states on the
tracks of the Great Northern. Forty.
live minutes are consumed in transfer
ring the mails in Chicago and thirty min
utes in st. Paul. After that the North
ern Oriental flyer does the rest without
pause until the Asiatic mails go on
board the steamers of the Japan Mail
Steamship Company. Both the import
ance of Seattle as an Oriental shipping
point and the speed of the Great North
ern transcontincntal mail service make
the achievement a noteworthy feature of
American railway progress.
The Puget Sound cities have already
become formidable rivals of San Fran.
cisco as regards the freight and pass
enger traffic for Japan, China, and Asi-
attic ports. The steamer route from Seat
tie to the Orient seems to be more free
from storms than that from San Fran
cisco, and as a large proportion of the
Oriental exports are propucts of the
Northwest the freight traffic has nat
urally taken this course. The fact that
the full capacity of the Japan Mail
Steamship Company's boats are engaged
as far ahead as next August, is in itself
a striking proof of the growing import
ance of the Oriental trade that has it's
outlet at Seattle.
For these and other reasons the fast
mail to tho Pacific coast, for which the
Great Northern holds tho government
contract, is fully as important as that
which daily rushes across the plains and
mountains to San Francisco. The Great
Northern has been as much alive to tho
keen rivalry for speed and honors as have
the Northwestern, Rock Island, and
Burlington, and it is but fair that the
achievements of it's fast daily transcon-
tinental mail should be included in the
new chapter Of railway advancement
now being written by the Western rail-
roads.-Chicago Tribune, Jan. IA, 1899.

last summer have left us in painful
doubt as to the meaning of an inter.

served. There was some curios ity to
see what would be the effect of pres
sure upon wood in the depth OF the
sea. anc so piece of common deal
match boarding was sent down on II
wire to depth of 5000 feet. 1t came
up apparently unchanged, and deep
sea pressures were openly derided, as
Mr.. George Murray writes, "by some
of the more frivolous members of the
expedition. This piece of wood was
left on deck, and on the following
day, as it was desired to ascertain the
drift, it was thrown overheard. In
stead Of keeping ahoat and performing
the service expected of it, the board
sank like shot, and there ends tn Q
story. The men of science might
have ventured the theory that deep
sea pressure had forced water all
through the pores and then smashed
into the ends thereof, leaving the
board permanently water logged, but

AN OLD TORTURE NEWLY TESTED.
Kansas Student Let 5000 Drops of Water
Fall on His Hand.

Fall on His Hand.
To learn Just how much pain would
be caused by the constant dripping of
water on the body, several students ut
Wichita, Kan, have tried it.
A gallon of water was to be loosed
drop by drop from height of three
feet, the drops falling at intervals of
about two seconds. A gallon of water
contains about 81, 44O drops, and at
this rate it would take over thirty
four hours to complete the task.
One of the students was seated at q
table, and allowed his left hand to be
fixed immovably to the table, so as to
insure every drop striking the same
spot upon the back of the hand. The
apparatus for dropping the water was
adjusted, and the experiment began.
For the first forty five minutes he ex-
perienced no Inconvenience, save his
hand becoming uncomfortable from
being wet constantly with the cold
water. Arrangements were then
made to keep the water at blood heat,
and it soon became more comfortable.
III uDblU wv uOttS lCuHSoo
began to appear, which gradually got
as big as a quarter. The third half
hour the drops were scarcely felt at
all. the hand being apparently numb
to the water, although sensitive to the
touch of anything else. The red
spot increased until it was larger than
a silver dollar, and the dripping of
the water began to become slightly
painful. 1t was noticed that if any.
one told q story or did anything to
divert the students attention from his
hand, he did not notice any pain at
all, but concentration of thought upon
his hand made the pain grow. The
water was kept steadily at close to
ninety-six degrees.
After about six hours and n half,
the red spot, which has been first
bright red, slowly turned to purple,
and blister began to raise. The
pain had increased gradually up to
this stage, and the young man said he
felt as though every falling drop
came with the force of hammer, the
pain reaching the shoulder, and even
little beyond. After the blister had
raised the blows from the drops were
not so severe, but he said were bad
enough, being dull feeling like slow
ly pushing down upon it.
After about eight hours and twenty
minutes the water was shut off. About
Is, 900 drops had been let fall, the
rate being little above the schedule,
only one quart two ounces Of water
having been used.

China's Floating Islands.

Floating islands are familiar to all
who have eaten the toothsome dessert
of macaroons and whipped cream, but
little is known here OF the real float.
ing islands that navigate the rivers in
certain parts of China. News comes
from Bangkok that an island of large
size has disappeared near the town OF
Kumpharaphi, on the Mekong. The
island vas partly cultivated and con-
tanned large trees, some of them being
ten feet in circumference. The owner
hunted for it Tor several days, but
found no trace of it. 1t is reported
that in the month of March each year
islands float down the Mekong and
that they disappear invariably. Where
they go and how they arc disintegrat-
ed NO one there seems to know.
