So far as California is concerned, in
spite of the enormous sums that capi-
talists here have invested in mining
properties, there are now 1900 unde-
veloped prospects in the state. Many
of these are worthless, but many will
ultimately become rich mines. This
state has not the surplus capital to
develop them Immediately. Under
these circumstances it is not strange
that miners look to the East and to
Europe, where SO much money is idle,
and where rates of interest are much
lower than on the Pacific coast.-San

Cowell by name, suggests that all wo-
men who ride bicycles shall be COM
PEELED to undergo rigid examinations,
show their capacity to guide the ma
chimes and give bonds to keep the
peace. He further declares that "A
woman who starts out on wheel trip
is menace to public safety unless
she can steer the machine through any
crisis" Whereupon the Boston JOurn-
al vigorously replies: THE menace to
society, if there be one at large on any
wheel, is the male scorcher-the round
shouldered, long -necked, ,gaunt-visaged,
red-eyed, thin-legged enthusiast who
doubles himself up, gazes straight
down at the flying roadbed and lets
menace. When he meets crisis, the
crisis may escape. but the menace and
his victim are taken away in ambu-
lances. Let woman ride and ride at
will. 1t does her good and it fills the
landscape with motion and color. IL
she neglects her home-if the biscuit
he soggy, the children unwashed, the
husband ungroomed, that is another
matter. But no examination, no dis
elimination. In the divorce court man
and woman are on the same level"
"Every old miner is not a rich man."
nor is every old farmer, or rancher,
or merchant, or lawyer. If it is "luck"
that makes one miner rich and leaves
another poor, what is il which guides
fate, or fortune for every laborer in
the other industrial fields? If it is an
argument against mining, why will not
the logic fit the merchant? The sue
cessful man is generally called a lucky
man, and it seems sometimes as though
il must be luck that carries fortune
to the plodder and passed by the
brainy rustler whom human judgment
had selected as the winner. Luck or
skill, whichever it may be, hits one
class as hard as the other, and the true
rendering should be, "every old man is
not rich man," and age with poverty
can be no argument against any kind

Private adviceS received in Los An
geles the last day or two from Rands-
burg state that the recent strike in the
Butte mine is one of the biggest ever
made in the camp. The ore was struck
something over week ago, and as
work has proceeded it has shown no
diminution either in quantity or rich
ness; in fact, its value is said to be in
creasing. A sample assay from the
first ore taken out showed over 3,300s;
/ since then another kidney has been
opened up and some of the ore is run
ming as high as 4s to the pound. The
strike has had the effect of encourag-
ing those who own property adjacent
to the Butte, and as a result much
new work has already commenced and
more is projected d-Review.

FIVE MULES STRUCK DOWN.
LightninE's Work at MineOIa-Min
Company Organized.

Valdosta, Ga, Aug u.-News reached
here this morning of great damage from
lightning bolt at Mineola yesterday.
The teamsters of the Mineola Mil Com
pany stopped at the noon hour to feed
their stock and twenty mules were tied
in the shade of some trees eating. A bolt
of lightning struck a tree and killed five
of the mules outright, stunning one other
and also stunning a negro man near by.
The loss from the bolt amounts to nearly
81 900. as the mules were valuable ones.
About the same time a bolt of lightning
struck a tree in the city and knocked
knife out of the hands of a gentleman
some distance away. He was slightly
stunned by the shock.
The stockholders of the Strickland cot
ton mills held a meeting yesterday, and
organized and issued a call for 10 per cent.
of the capital stock in the enterprise. b.
f. Strickland was elected president, E. p.
S. Denmark vice president and f. W
Lane secretary and treasurer. The con-
Germ will begin working at once on their
buildings aud making other preparations
for operations.

NEW DEPOT SITE PURCHASED.
SOUTHERN SAID TO HAVE BOUGHT
AUSTELL BUILDING.

Location Is That COntended for by
Vice President Egan for AtIanta's
Union DepOf-Agent for the Owners
Is Reported to Have COnsummat-
ed the Deal at Providence, II. 1.
VIII Prove an Ideal Site for
Union Passenger station.
Atlanta. Aug. 1.-THE report is current
here that the Southern Railway, either
for itself or representing the other rail-
roads entering Atlanta, has bought the
Austeu building located at the north end
of the Forsyth street bridge.
The Austeu building is one Of the finest
office buildings in the South having cost
in the close neighborhood of a half mil
lion dollars. II is located on spot that
many have urged would be extremely de-
sirable for a new union passenger depot,
and if the sale has been consummated, 1t
no doubt has some bearing upon that
question.
The building Is owned by the Joseph Ban
ig&n estate of Providence, r. l. Mr. Roby
Robinson is the representative of the Ban
igan estate in this city, and he is now
in Providence. It is understood that he
went there to negotiate the deal for the
sale of the big building.
a number of railroad lawyers and OIL
Gals had heard the report of the pur-
chase of the property by the Southern to
day, but it was impossible to get at any
of the details or secure a positive confirm
alton Of the report. The Information is
believed to be reliable, and there is also
little doubt that the purchase means the
building of a new union depot al Forsyth
street the location that has always been
contended for by Vice President Egan of
the Central Railway.
Mr. Egan has never given a depot on
the present old site any serious consider
alton. He has believed from the first agi-
alton of the subject that the depot should
be built at Forsyth street, as has been
repeatedly stated in these dispatches, and
It looks now as if all the other railway
managers were coming round to his way
of thinking.
Forsyth street is an ideal location for
union depot and if it Is indeed to be built
there, Atlanta will be repaid for the
months of wrangling and waiting that
she has undergone trying to get at so
luton of the problem.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A novel method of securing a living
without labor has been described by the
house detective of the Auditorium Hotel.
The detective is on the lookout for
man who is systematically working on the
sympathies of the guests of the Audito-

income. This man, who is continually

a tale of misfortune. In touching words
the writer depicts his fan from affluence
to poverty through circumstances beyond

with an appeal for 81 with which to buy
the victim of misfortune a days food and

traveller who is touched by the silent APP

SLUMP IN BUTTONS RETURNS.
In Spite of improvements, the De-

Atlanta Aug. 1.-Fulton's tax returns
sent in to-day show a decrease of 50, $751;

the gains made by 107 counties previous
ly reported, and Controller Wright Is cor
respondingly sad over the result.
This big slump is the more enigmatIcal
because of the great amount of buildings
that have been erected. Two large office
buildings were completed last year. the
Prudential and English American but
this is the first year they were given In
for taxation. These alone cost three quar-
tiers of a million, and with the various
buildings going up in all parts of the
city, there is much surprise expressed at
the low figures given in this year, which
are $5o,125S34, as against $5S,7s2, 1875 last
year
There are only 205 lawyers who have re-
turned for the profession tax, while the
city directory shows the names of about
$50 lawyers doing, or pretending to do
business. Probably some of them have
not made enough money to pay the tax.
City property foots up $32,3lO6l1 as per
the digest while the land and buildings IN
the county are a fraction over $4,000. 600.
Merchandise is returned at $685., 1893 and
money, judgments and accounts, at s.. AL.

BAILIFF's NARROW ESCAPE.

Attacked ny n Negro Whose Horse
He Went to Levy On.
Atlanta. Aug. 11.-Edward A White, a
bailiff in Judge Bateman's justice court,
had a thrilling experience with a negro
man in West Atlanta tonight.
He went to levy on horse and wagon,
when he was attacked with knife in the
hands of the negro and severely bit by
the negro's dog at the same time. He
killed the dog and beat the negro severe
ly over the head with handouts.
A pistol shot brought fifty to seventy
five negroes on the ground, who became
menacng, and but for the timely arrival
of the police he might have been roughly
handled. White got the horse, but the
negro escaped.
