FROM THE MINES
The FleshIem Exploration

The Fleshiem Exploration.
Joseph Fleshiem, of Menomi-
nee, has taken an option to ex-
plore the ne. I OF the W. / of
sec. %, 1882. The land lies
one half mile directly south of
the Armenia mine and is owned
by the l.. w. & V. s. Co. This
land was explored in 1892 by
Thomas McCusker who sunk
two pits thereon, supposing that
he was on an adjoining forty.
Both pits were bottomed in fine
ore, an analysis OF which gave
about SO per cent iron and 90
phos. Soon after getting the
second pit into the ore Mr.. Nc
Cusker discovered that he had
been working on land upon
which he held no option. He
Immediately filled in the PITS and
went to Menominee to get an
option on the land but, at that
time, the land could not be
optioned and no work has been
done there from that time until
now, although many persons
have tried TO get options on the
property. The story of the find
leaked out and got to the ears of
Mr.. Fleshiem who secured the
land from |. Stephenson, Jr..
the secretary OF tho company.
There is NO question but that
the explorers will get the ore il
they succeed in finding Mr.. Nc
Cusker's pits, and all acquainted
with the location look for very
promising find out there.

The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume OF
the Week In Iron Circles.
The iron ore movement to
June 1, SO far as figures are
available, has been a surprise in
its size. The ports heard from
that fall short OF last years
record, are only slightly behind.
and in other cases the 1898
figures TO June have been ex-
ceeded. Two Harbors sent
down $4,000 tons in May,
against 1853, 200 tons in May last
year. Wild rates are strong and
with the big loads modern boats
can carry vessel men are getting
some share of the going pros
perity. From the head Of the
lake 70 cents Is paid, from Mar
quette 20 cents and from Esca-
naba 65 cents. Shippers are not
holding of because of the sub
stantial advances over the June
rates that have obtained for
several years. and the indica.
tions are that this level will be
maintained for some time.

Mayor Jones, of Toledo, Decides to
Become independent Candi-
date for Governor.

Toledo, o., Aug. 22.-MaSor Jones ar
rived in the city Monday morning and
at once began work on letter an
nouncing that he would be an inde-
pendent candidate for governor. This
letter he will probably hand to the
press to-day. Concerning his candi-
dacy, Mayor Jones says:
at shall announce myself as candidate.
I do not intend to wait for the nomination
by the democratic convention or any other
political party. 1 shall be strictly Il non
partisan candidate rather than an inde-
pendent, and so / want it understood that
my candidacy will be nonpartisan. shall
run on a platform of principles such as
have been advocating for several years, and
1 want to be the candidate forall the people
rather than for any political party. 1t is
for this reason that l have declined ad-
vances from the union reform party. and
l intend to follow out my own lines. L
is not likely that there will be any other
candidates on the ticket with me. A change
in methods of politics and governments is
needed, and that Is what / am working for.
regardless of what the consequences may
be to me personally"

SUNKHAZER FLIES OF MAINE.
Worse Than jersey Mosquitoes and
kissing Bugs Have No Chance
with Them.

Since reading in the newspapers of the
kissing bug and his doings all the people in
rural Maine have taken to capturing bugs
and insects OF all sorts and bringing the speci
mems to town for examination by newspa
per men and naturalists. Countless are the
kinds of bugs that have been taken to
Bangor in bottles, boxes and preserve jars,
and the captors all seem to be sorely dis
appointed when told that instead of the gen.
uine kisser they have a moth killer, lace.
winged fly, or something quite common and
harmless.
A man came from Veazie to Bangor the
other day with a ferocious-looking bug
corked up in a preserve jar and claimed the
credit OF having captured the first kissing
bug in that part of the country. 1t was not
the famous Kissing bug that he had, but ma
tive bug somewhat resembling a small lob.
ster with wings.
'I don't care hang" declared the Veazie
man, when told that he must try again.
"These fellers kin lick the stuffin' out OF
Sunkhazers, and that's what none of your
common bugs kin do,
Not many people living far away from
Bangor know what "SunkhaZer" is like.
1t is a ferocious big fly that infests the fats
and meadows about Sunkhaze deadwater,
a place in the Penobscot river where the
are RATED. The Sunkhazers are the pest
of the loggers, upon whom they feast to
their hearts content, and nothing can drive
them away. They are four times the size of
the famed mosquitoes of Jersey, and any
Maine man will back one of them against
dozen kissing bugs in fair stand-up fight
Maine folks have, probably, no kissing bugs,
but so long as the Sunkhazers survive they
will not feel lonesome.-N. Y. Sun.

Sensational Result of Fancy Dress

Sensational Result of Fancy Dress
Costume at u Ministerial Gathering.
Judge z. B. Martindale, of Indianap-
oils, Ind, owns one of the handsomest
residences in that city-a large stone
mansion hidden from the street by
thick grove of trees. 1t was in this
house that one of the most exciting
functions ever known in the Hoosier
capital took place many years ago, the
true story of which is now printed for
the first time. The judge. who was one
of the leaders of society and at the
same time was pillar in the Presby-
terian church, had issued invitations
for fancy dress ball, which at the
last moment he had to withdraw be-
cause of the presence in this country
of large body of Presbyterian dele
gates from Great Britain on their way
to an international conference in the
west.
They were to be entertained at the
judges on the night set for the hall.
1t so happened that every guest re-
ceived his notice save one, n merchant
named Woodward, who was on trip
through the northwest 1t also hap
pened that Mr.. Woodward had hit up
on the most startling disguise of any
planned. He had bought a complete
costume of Sioux war chief and in
tended making up as nearly like the
original as possible.
Mr.. Woodward did not return to In
dianapolis until the evening fixed for
the ball, and, therefore, to save time,
put on his costume at his office and
drove to the Martindale residence in
his carriage, which he dismissed ut
the gate. Through the trees and shrub
berry he glided stealthily until he
reached the house. Looking through
the window Mr.. Woodward saw some
persons whom he knew and many of
whom he did not, but everyone was in
ordinary evening dress.
"They've unmasked."' soliloquized
the war chief, "but I'll have my fun
just the same" Thereupon. stepping
| upon ledge, he made one spring
through the open window and landed
in the center of a group of Scotch del
egates, meantime brandishing genu-
inc tomahawl< and uttering shrill and
hlood-curdling war whoops.
The effect was astounding to the
masquerhder. Some of the guests
tainted, others crept under the tables
and sofas or fed to the upper stories
of the house. 1t took only an instant
for Mr.. Woodward to discover that
terrible mistake had been made. In
order to preserve his identity and
make his escape he gave a few more
whoops, executed fearful dance and
dGrted out of the window into the
| darkness.
1t was explained to the foreign
guests that one of the Indianapolis In
dian tribes was evidently restless, but
that no further trouble need be fear
cd. AS for Mr.. Woodward, his side of
the story was not known for nearly
20 years Observation-Disclosures

AN Austrian gunmalxer, who has de-
voted great attention to revolvers and
repeating rifles, has patented new
form of revolver. In the present type
weapon the gas generated in the
ischarge is made use of for reloading
and resetting the revolver but in the
new one these functions are performed
by mechanism. Climatic conditions af-
feet the gases and render the weapon
less effective; this state of things is
avoided by the new patent.
