CHAPTER KY.

STRIKE THE JOLLY ROGER.
 I had scarce gained position on the bowsprit, when the flying jib Tapped and filled upon the other tack, with report like a gun. The schooner trem- bled to her keel under the reverse; but next moment, the other sails drawing, the iib Tapped back
 and hung idle.
 This had nearly tossed me off into the sea; and now lost no time, crawled back along the bowsprit, and tumbled head-foremost on the deck.
 was on the Ice side of the forecastle, and the mainsail, which was still draw ing. concealed from me a certain DOT ton of the after-declz. Not a soul was to be seen The blanks, which had not been swabbed since the mutiny, bore the print of many feet; and an empty bottle, broken by the neck, tumbled to and fro ikea live thing in the scuppers.
 Suddenly the "Hispaniola" came right into the wind. The jibs behind me cracked aloud; the rudder slammed to; the whole ship gave a sickening heave and shudder, and at the same moment the main-boom swung in board, the sheet grooming in the blocks, and showed me the lee after-deck.
 There were the two watchmen, sure enough; red-cap on his back, as stiff as a handspille, with his arms stretched out like those of a. crucifix, and his teeth showing through his open lips; Israel Hands propped against the bull vvarks, his chin on his chest, his hands lying open before him on the deck, his face as white, under its tan, as tall low candle.

COPPER DISCOVERIES.
Many of the Most Noted Mines Laid
 Open By Accident.

Some of the greatest copper mines of the United States were discovered by accident rather than the wit of man, says the Bosrcn News Bureau. The pigs uncovered the Calumet and Hecla A wandering COW is responsible for the Quincy. The Tamarack was a piece of bull luck by 1easCn of the fact that its vertical shaft struck the Calumet vein in richness, just under the only large worthless spot found in the Calumet vein. Had the great tract of barren ground separating the Calumet and the Hecla continued Q few hundred feet lower down and made barren the upper acres Of the incline of the Tama- rack property, the Famarack might now be of little account instead of q dividend stock at about S20O a share. These remarks are emphasized by the fact that the Tamarack management spent some years ago $200,0 900 or S300,- 00C to the north of Kearsarge trying to hr1 the kearsarge vein on the Sen eca and Ameek properties to make thereof a paying copper mine The ef- fort was fruitless, but a year ago an Overblown tree showed the Kearsarge vein to be just to the east of where it had been looked for in the northern properties, and the result is the Mo- ndWk mlue, WHICH pfOnl1S6S 70 De . dividend payer in a few years
 Several Of these discoveries in hichi- gan and others in Arizona and Men tana have developed into large cor porations, producing millions of dol lars in dividends. The Calumet and HecIa company was incorporated in 1869 for $2, 800 GOO in 100, GOO S25 shares which first sold for 50 cents, or cents oL the dollar to begin development, since which time the company has paid to 2,460 share holders $56 ,850,000 in dividends, and the S25 shares have ad- vanced from 50 cents each to $500 each, or $32 for a $1 share, making the mine valued at S80,000,000
 Several other copper companies have made as wonderful growth It is stated Ghe United Verde at Jerome, ATiz, is worth over $100, 100000 and was bought by w. A. Clark of Helena, Mont, 8 few years ago for S23 600. The shares of stock in several others are said now to be worth more than those in Calumet and Hecla. as in the Copper Queen at Bis6ee, Ariz., Arizona Copper company at Clifton, Ariz., and Anaccnda at Butte, Mont. With the rapidly in creasing demand for copper for electri- cal plants and for thousands of pur- poses the world over shares Of stock in copper mines or in good developing mines are 9 safe investment and good to hold for dividends and for advanc- ing values, as proven by the develop

I glanced over my shoulder, and my heart jumped against my ribs. There, right behind me, was the glow of the campfire. The current had turned at right angles, sweeping round along with it the tall schooner and tEe little dancing coracle; ever quicl1ening, ever bubbling higher, ever muttering louder, it went spinning through the narroWs for tho open sea.
 Suddenly the schooner in front of me gave violent yaw, turning, perhaps through 20 degrees; and almost at the same moment one shout followed an- other from on board; 1 could hear feet pounding or the companion ladder; and l knew that the two drunlsards had at last been interrupted in their quarrel and awakened to sense Of their dis aster

 So I must have lain for hours, con tinually beaten to and fro upon the bill lows, now and again wetted with flying sprays, and never ceasing to expect death at the next plunge.

Every Man Who Has Worn it Has
 Come to Grief.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-There is 9 strange fatality connected with macintosh which hangs in one of the police sta ions of Chicago, and many people da- Hare it would take more than ordinary bravery for a man to venture to wear t. The coat was purchased three ears ago in Ireland and brought to America by Policeman John Clancy. The first time he donned it he took a old which developed into pneumonia, md four days later he died.
 Policeman Pugh, of the Stockysrds jtatiOn, was selected as one of C1ancy's 7all bearers. He wore the macintosh 70 the funeral. On his way home he dipped and sprained his ankle, and for three weeks he was unable to walk His wife then said she would keep the garment in the house, and so worked )n her husbands superstition that he sold it to Policeman Mckibbon for 8. The first time McKibbon wore it he was thrown from a cable car and hs right leg and arm were so severely in iured that he spent eight weeks in a hospital
 After he recovered McKibb0n 0i not say much, but he did deal of thinking, which resulted in the coat being disposed of to Policeman Leach. Leach was delighted with his purchase md the following evening, as the weather looked snowy he donned the aoodoo coat and started for headqUar- ters, while his wife stood in the dcor md laughed at him for wearing a macintosh with the thermometer at zero. Leach passed the night on his 5eat without an accident and going of duty in the morning fell in with Pc iiceman Furlong, and the two stepped to get something to warm them up. quarrel ensued, and Furlong drew a revolver and fatally shot his camran- on. There are now no purchasers for he coat with a bullet hole through it.

A DAILY PAPER.

On Saturday, March 4, the Star will commence the publication of a daily edition. It has been the intertion of the proprietors of the Star to do this whenever, in their judgement, the time was ripe, or the town was large enough to sustain a good daily paper, and sufficient type and machinery were secured when the plant was established here for that purpose.
 The paper will be an evening edition of four pages of the same size of the weekly and an all home print. It will contain each day six full columns of telegraphic domestic and foreign news to- gether with all the local news ob- tainable and such editorial mat ter as may be deemed of interest to the readers or of benefit to the public. By this arrangement we will give the people of Mena six columns of the same general news as appears in the Kansas City papers arriving here on tue same day, something no other paper has ever attempted to do, and all at the low price of ten cents a week, delivered by car riers or through the postoffice.
 An experience of fifteen years publishing a larger-a and the best paper, in a larger town than Mena is now, enables Us to prom ise with the utmost confidence that we will make paper which will be credit to Mena-one that no citizen need ever be ashamed of or hesitate to send to a friend abroad.
 The daily Star, like the week ly, will ever be found doing battle for Mena, Polk county and Ar kansas, and under no consideration or provocation will anything ap- pear in its columns that is not clean and suitable to be read at the fireside by all members of every family.
 By publishing daily we will be enabled to give the readers of the weekly edition more general and local news than heretofore, it, in the future as in the past, the best weekly paper ever published in this portion of this great state.

THE STAR APPRECIATED.

Milan. Kansas, Feb. 2s, 1s99 Editors Mena Star:
 GENTLEMEN. Through the kindness of a friend of your young city l receiv- ed the Star of February 8, 1899, and am very much pleased with 1t. Your pride in Mena is a commendable one, and you are to be congratulated on the Herculean efforts you are putting forth for her upbuilding. Mir. Editor, there is no factor so potent in the up building of town as a live, wide-a- wake paper such as the Star. We wish you God speed, in evidence of which find enclosed one dollar to pay a years subscription. Respectfully,
 H. l.. STULL.
 The foregoing is only one of the many expressions recelved-- verbal and written-reg garding our efforts in behalf of our little city, and praise for the edition of the Star for February 8. 1t Is per haps needless to say that it is a pleasure to receive such substan- tial and cordial reminders that our efforts are appreciated. They are the bright lights that help dis pei occasional clouds and cause the Star to shine more clearly and show with better effect the beauties of Mena, Polk county and Arkansas.
