An illuminated sign ON store up

in letters timed by electric lights and
is lit up and then made dark again
automatically. When the sign begins
to shine out, the electric bulbs at the

illumination follows the course of an
immense pen writing the pame ont So
closely is the course of the pen followed
that the ii" in the name is not dotted

Of metallic ore in the Isabella, is
reported to have been made last

Pinnacle company's Lansing mine
in Grassy gulch. The ore body
is wide and values are considerably
higher than those in the first level
of the mine.
In The breast of the second level
at depth of 100 feet, there are
three feet of sylvanite ore. Sam
piles and assays were obtained this
morning which shows value of
from six to thirty ounces to the
ton. The average of the assays
taken on samples across the three
feet in the breast show a value of
better than ten ounces. In the
upper level the ore was only one
half as rich. The ore has also
been found in an upraise started
fourteen feet from the shaft in the
second level. The value in the
upraise is practically the same as
in the breast, but the ore body is
nearly foot wider.

! Some interesting figures have been compiled showing the extent of the tourist business from the United States to Mexico. During the months of January, February and March, 1899, 557 people were taken into Mexico on special trains. For trans portation of these excursionists the railroads received for passage be- tween St. Louis and the City of Mexico S70,314I5. The whole amount paid to both railroads and sleeping-car companies was $780, 74465.
 All of the division superintendents of the Mexican Central Railway, have recently been in the City of Mexico in reference to the cOntem- plated new fast train between Chi cago and the City of Mexico. Under the laws of the republic, the time schedules must be approved in ad- vance by the governors of all the states through which the route passes.
 The Kentucky state convention called by the recent Lexington con- ference for the purpose of nominat- ing an anti-Goebel ticket is in ses- sion at Lexington. Every county in the state is represented by accred- ited delegates and in addition the convention hall is packed with well known politicians who have declared themselves in opposition to the ticket named at the Louisville con- yention.
 The SwIss government has issued S4OO,OO0,0OO of g per cent bonds for the purchase of the railways of that country. The plan is to exchange the bonds as far as possible for the stock of the railroads.
