The final week Of the Democratic

The final week of the Democratic
canvass finds the three gubernato-
rial candidates pretty equally
matched IN Christian county. Each
candidate has some advantages.
Stone has perhaps larger number
of supporters, Goebel has the best
organization and Hardin has a fol-
lowing buoyed up by more conf
dence and enthusiasm. 1t will be
a pretty triangular fight, which
has so far engendered no bad feel
ing. Everybody is glad it viii be
over in four more days.

TIMES AND MINING.
MINING ACTIVITY IN MEXICO.

A correspondent writing about the
present activity in mining matters in
Mexico, says: MANY Americans are
now engaged in opening old works,
forming new companies and bonding
and developing properties in way
that makes the average Mexican stand
aghast, wondering to himself what the
Americana is going to do next. The
mining laws are, on the whole, much
more satisfactory to work under than
the mining laws of the United States.
No annual work is required. You pay
$10 (Mexican) per year for each per-
tenencia (claim), about 330x330 feet in
dimensions, and it makes no difference
whether you work your mine or not. !"
Speaking of the more permanent min-
ing properties operated by Americans,
the writer says; BRAY & Beveridge of
Minneapolis, have organized a COM
pany and are working some rich mines
near Hermosillo, Sonora. Juan Pedri-
gino is working the famous Carmen
mine, in the Ures district, in which a
large body of very rich silver ore was
recently struck. This mine is not for
sale at any price. The Tuape Mining
and Milling Company, whose president
is Hon. w. H. Perry of Los Angeles,
has a group of high-grade mines near
Tuape that they are actively at work
upon. There are nine mines in the
group, some of which were worked by
'ancianos,' as those of past genera
ton are termed. One of the group, the
Nina Colorado, was worked over 200
years ago. The church, still standing
at Tuape, and the nunnery at the same
place, were built from donations made
the then owners of the mine. The
bells of the church, three in number,
are dated 1899, just 200 years ago, and
are said to have been cast at Tuape."

HALE { ENTURY BLANK.
Man Receivers His Senses After Fiity-
three Years.

Cleveland-A remarkable case of Q
recovered intellect has taken place on
farm in Jackson township, Ohio.
Matthias Steingruber, veteran OF
the Mexican war, lost all sense of
time fifty-three years ago at the battle
Of Reseca de la Palma. He was a cav
alryman in Payne's Pennsylvania reg
iment. and in one of the charges he
was thrown from his horse, struck his
head on stone and his spine was par
alyZed. He was found on the battle
field after. the battle was over and TAX
en- to the hospital, where, although he
could tell the story of how he was
hurt. his mind from that time on was
blank. He has always insisted that
he was only 81 years of age, and that
al the next election he was going to
vote for General Taylor for the presi-
dency.
The other day when some of the men
on the farm were saving wood with a
buzz saw, piece of wood flew and
struck him on the head, knocking him
senseless. When he recovered a pecu-
liar expression was noticed on his face
as if he had just awakened from long
sleep. From the effects of this blow he
has recovered all his lost senses and
today when he visited Fostoria, O., for
the first time, although he has lived
within two or three miles of it all his
life, he was greatly astonished at the
improvements. which have taken place
in everything since he was young
man.
He stared in wonder at the poles full
Of wires. and his last words when he
stepped into the wagon to return home
were: well, 1 guess the world has got
too far ahead of me for me to catch
up"

THE RANKING ADMIRAL.
Dewey Will Salute First in Only One
Instance.

Admiral Dewey will be the ranking
naval officer afioat at every port at
which he may stop on his homeward-
bound voyage, either on the Asiatic
Or European stations, with the single
exception of Malta, where the British
Medittel ranean fleet is now assembled
under command of Admiral Sir John
O. Hopkins, X. G. B.
When the flag of Admiral Hopkins is
displayed, Admiral Dewey must first
salute. as his commission is subsequent
to that of the British admiral. Admiral
Hopkins will respond with an admiraps
salute. Each officer is entitled to the
same number Of guns. No foreign
government except Great Britain main
taiDs higher naval.ranks than those of
rear admiral and vice. admiral, and as
a rule the British service is the only
one maintaining officers in command
OF .leets having higher rank than that
of rear-admiTal.

This sort Of thing aroused a certain
Cleveland business man, G. nj. Nun

tute a test suit on the ground that Q

that Mr.. Munhall obtained q perpetual
injunction to restrain the city from
killing dogs, and the. license law was
of no effect after that decision. This
was eight or ten years ago, and Cleve-
land has since been a paradise for
dogs. Mrs. Bolton claims that the city
Is not troubled with surplus dogs, and
that it has no more mad dog scares
than any city of it's size in which the
dog license is rigidly enforced. 1t is to
be doubted, however, whether many
sufferers from bowling and prowling
dogs in cities would regard the proven
ton of '.the yearly slaughter Of thou
sands" as an unalloyed blessing. The
dog is a faithful friend, but a bad
neighbor, and his presence In cities
should not be encouraged.

Perhaps it is fortunate for Mr.. Fitz

Perhaps it Is fortunate for Mr.. Fitz-
simmons that Mrs. Fitzsimmons re-
fuses to permit him to become farmer.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons seems to have fallen
q victim to the persistent and almost
universal delusion that anybody can
run farm" Possibly there is a more
general misunderstanding on this point
than on any other. Aboard ship, every
body wants to farm. The captain thinks
because he can sail a vessel he can sue
coed at raising crops. The mate and
the boatswain feel the same way. The
cSok Is positive Of his ability. In town
esSry other lawyer is an agricultural
genius who made an unfortunate mis-
take La choosing career. Physicians,
journalists, actors, carpenters. black
smiths, capitalists, butchers, bakers
and candlestick-makers long for the de-
lights of bucolic life and are thereby
convinced Of their fitness for agricul-
ture. Mr.. Fitzsimmons evidently feels
that the man who could knock out Cor
bett ought to be able to grow a few
soup vegetables. About the only per-
son who really seems to have any
doubts on the subject Is the farmer
himself.

MINING NOTES.

A strike of $3.50 ore has been made
at the Sherman, in the Hillsboro dis
trict.
The purchase of the Bonanza mine
at Baker City, Or, by the Standard Oil
Company for 100000 represents the
biggest mining trade ever made in Or
egOn.
H. l.. Swain, superintendent Of the
Ibarra Gold Mining Company in Lower
California, reports that stampede has
taken place to the decently discovered
hopper mines near Santa Rosalia.
Redding-The News reached here of
the collapse of an ore reservoir belong
ing to the Midas Gold Mining company
at Harrison Gulch. The ore, in a semi
liquid state, escaped into the creek, en-
failing loss of $4,000.
Prof. A. G. Tredwell, who is stock
holder in the United Verde copper
mine, Ariz., is quoted as saying that
the profits of the mine in copper alone
for last year was $4,000 as against
the Calumet Hecla's $5,0O0,000.
The Monte Cristo Mining Company,
Ariz., has started up their new ten
stamp mill and are running full blast.
They have about $4,000 worth of ore
on the dump ready to run through, and
fully 100000 blocked out in the mine.
The Midnight mine, located between
Red River and La Belle, N. M, which
has over 900 feet of workings but which
was shut down about year ago, ow-
ing to chickering's among the owners,
is to be opened up. The property is
owned by Mark Hanna and other capt.
talists of Cleveland, Ohio.
1t is learned on good authority that
the famous Vulture mine, which has
produced millions in the past, will soon
be operated on a large scale. The mine
has been stocked for a large amount;
it is said $4,000. A hundred-stamp
mill is to be erected and large force
of men put in the mine.
A great flow of water was struck a
few days ago in the tunnel at the yell
low Aster water wells, says the Rands-
burg Miner. The increase for the first
twenty-four hours after was very no.
ticeable, and 10000 gallons more water
were sent through the pipes to the mill
than ever before in one day.
Two big copper mines in Montana
are down for dividends this month.
The Anaconda paid semi-annual div
idend of $1,500,00O on the Sd inst,
making $9,750, 600 to date. The Boston
and Montana will pay dividend of
5000, 900 on the 29th, making $1.65O, 900
this year, and 1O,75O,OOO in all from
the start.

LIVELY DAYS IN REPUBLIC.

Z The reports from Spokane and Seat
tie, Wash, indicated very lively state
of affairs in Republic mine. A late spe-
cial dispatch to the Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer says: "The recent payment of
a $4,000 monthly dividend on the Re-
public mine has stimulated the local
market in stocks, and has given new
impetus to work among the mines.
There are over fifty properties in the
camp that have been worked steadily
during most of the winter, and to give
an approximate idea of the amount IF
work done on these during the month
of March, mile of tunnel will scarce
ly cover it, This at a cost of $40 per
running foot, would run the total ex-
pense of prospecting in the camp up to
considerably more than $4,000 for the
month. This does not include the work
on the Republic, Mountain Lion, San
Poll and two or three other properties
that have gone beyond the prospecting
stage. And all this development has
not been without some good results. ="

New York Citrus Fruit Market.-The
latest mail advices from New York
show that there was a fairly good de-
mand for California oranges which
sold at Slip to $4.84 per box for navels.
$1.25 to $40 for seedlings, and $1.35
to $3.50 for sweets. The low prices were
for fruit in~bad condition. Importers Of
foreign oranges claim that their bust
ness this year has been done at a loss
and that nothing will hereafter be at
tempted in bringing in this fruit. If
the business is a failure this year it
would surely involve great loss under
ordinary conditions, for prices have
been unusually high.

There are rich men nowadays who
twist that new testament rule of char

should do business openly and keep his
charities as secret as the grave, but
some modern capitalists seem to think
that they ought to do. their charity as
openly as possible for the sake Of the
effect, and keep their shady transac-
