could not care for him and they sent

and tried by all means in his power to
bite the four men whom it required to

ed the boy had been bitten by a dog a
little over a year ago, and that gave
rise to the rumor that they boy was
suffering from hydrophobia. A doc

Bird home and had the boy placed on

where he was kept over night. This
morning he was much improved,

Upon the vocation Of the pros
pectOr the prosperity of the mining
industry must primarily depend. 1t
is a pursuit OF large expectations
and small rewards and is MAIN
tanned chiefly by the activity of the
organ of hope that constantly en-
livens the imagina ton of the pros
pector with visionary bonanzas of
high degree In proportion to
their numbers few professional
prospectors ever rea ize their hopes
and attain wealth, although dozens
OF paving properties m v have been
discovered by them. To the man
who is proud of his attaiLments the
vein that subsequently,, and in
other hands, becomes a paving
mine brings great deal of salts

The recent egg famine in the
east has called forth some rather
surprising statistics as to the ex-
tent to which the thrifty hen fgu es
as a factor in the country's pros
p rity. 1t is shown that in 1898
the production Of chickens in the
United States reached g. 1000, 900
and of eggs 100000, the to.
tai value of chickens and eggs be-
800 million dollars for the year.
BY way of comparison it may be
stated that the value of the Amer
ican tobacco crop Of 1898 was 43
million dollars; the value of the po-
tato crop so million dollars; the
value of the barley crop 30 arilion
dollars. The oat crop is rarely
worth more than 120 million dol
lars, while the annual output of
pig iron is worth about 1870 million
dollars. Coal, bv far the most val
liable of the mineral products of
the United States, rolls up an ag-
gregate annual ou put worth 200
million dollars. which is not mach
more than two-thirds of the annual
achievement Of the American hen.
There are in fact only four products
of American industry whose annual
output is greater than that of the
henneries; they are corn, wheat,
hay and cotton. The corn crop is
worth 44O million dollars to 7S3
million year. the wheat crop 2l3
million dollars to 5l3 million dol
lars, the hay crop $50 hiIlion dol.
lars to 400 million. and the cotton
crop 29O to 80 million dollars.
The Iowa State Register, which
furnishes these figures, estimates
that the recent hen strike in the
east cost this country the enormous
of nearly l,00O,O00S day
In other words. it was, while it
lasted, almost as heavy a drain on
thr nation's financial resources as
the war with Spain--San Diego
Union.

An ther week and Arizona's leg
lslature passes into history. Few
acts of nature conducive to the
public welfare have been passed
during the session. One of the
go d ones being the exemption of
water storage reservoirs from taxa
tion. The necessity of storage res
ervoirs is apparant to all and as
years will pass before enterprises of
this kind can he put on a paying
basis they should be exempt from
the payment Of tax. OF course,
after the end of the session, when
the act. that have passed int, law
are reviewed, many good measures
may he found among the many.

and effort. Any law that will tend
to discourage prospecting for min.

should have a perfect right to pros
pect upon any piece of ground not
being actually prospected or devel-
Oped by another. The mining in
dustry as such can be encouraged
in no better way than to give full
scope and a free field to the hardy
prospector, and legislation should,
at all times tend to tighten his
burdens.-Miner and Electrician.

CHICAGO, NOV. 1.-THE steamer
Cuncstosa, of the Anchor line. sank at
the mouth Of the harbor early this
morning. after 4 race for life.
The steamboat, bound into Chicago
from Buffalo. in the dense fog that
hung over Lake Michigan, ran into the
half way crib. q mile and half out
from the harhor entrance and a grea
hole was stove in her bow
FILLED RAPIDLY
The boat commenced to fill with wa
ter fast and there was a disposition to
rush for the boats. but the captain
gave orders to turn on all steam and
commanded the men to stand at their
posts.
The vessel was settling fast and her
speed was diminishing greatly before
the distance to the piers at the mouth
of the harbor had been traversed
AS the mouth of the !larbor was
gained. floods OF water poured into the
fire hold. drove the stokcrs up the lad
derS to the deck and at last cXtin-
SuiShed the fires in the boilers.
SETTLED FAST.
The COnestoSa came TO a stop as her.
keel rubbed hard in the mud at the
bottom Of the harbor entrance and she
settled fast.
The water did not reach the upne:
deck and the crew We're safe. The
steamer was loaded at Buffalo and car
rcd freight from eastern points. 1t is
thought that the less on the cargo
alone will be in the neighborhood Of
100000.
