THE SOUTH PEACOCK AND DEBORAH
Mines will be Developed Imme-
diately.

w. B. Hancock, Superintendent of
the Boston Il Seven Devils Copper Co.,
(Which was formely the Boston & Idaho
company of which Mr.. Lewis A. Hall,
president of the p. & l. N. railway com.
pany is president, arrived in Cuprum
on Friday, Aug. IL. Mr.. Hancock was
accompanied by several miners from
California.
At the present time the necessary
buildings, living, engine, pump and
shaft houses, shops and all other build
ings necessary to the extensive working
of a copper mine, are being built.
As soon as these structures are COM
pleted, and the machinery (which is on
the way arrives, extensive develop
ment work on both the South Peacocl
and DEBORAH mines will be commenced.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Hancock to
employ some 35 or 10 men on the two
properties, and push work with all pos
sible speed.
Mr.. Hancock is one of the best and
most favorable known mining engineers
of the west, having been engaged in
mining in various places for the past
20 years, ard we doubt not that under
his able management these mines will
soon be known as among our BEST
Seven Devils Standard.

THE OLD MINER.

Every old miner is not rich man,
nor is every rich miner an old one.
Many, very many, who joined in blaz-
ing trails to the FL Dorados in the far
west, who have built their humble log
cabins where prosperous towns or
cities have long since displaced them
who set their stakes and spent months
or years to develop prospects into pay
ing mines, whose hopes of striking
wealth ended not in fruition, whose
tenacity of purpose and bulldog hang
onativeness led them, over and over
again, to venture their time, their
labor, their all in other equally disas-
trous ventures, have either passed
lover the range" to prospect for a
home mot made with hands, eternal in
the heavens" or are now with
whitened locks and furrowed cheeks,
with bent forms and faltering steps,
patiently waiting for the summons to
lay aside their picks, pans and shovels
and drills and spoons and hammers,
and go up higher where short, water
and barren rock are known no more
forever.
We say there are many old miners
waiting to join their comrades who |
have gone to find bonanza in the |
Great Beyond and who leave the world |
as they entered it, with nothing to
claim save the air they breathed. But
they have done good work, they lived |
not in vain. Fifty years ago they
crossed the Missouri river and entered
the "Great American Desert" into an
almost unknown country, bearing their
lives in their hands, meeting and over
coming obstacles and dangers of which
they knew not, frightening or driving
the savages of the plains from their
pathway, and the less savage animals
from their lairs, but defying all, fol-
lowed the setting sun on its course to
the golden sands of the Pacific, where
they found an empire in domain,
storehouse Astounding in gold. But
they builded better than they knew
They opened the way for others to fol
low. In blazing the trail to the Pacific
they passed over great stretches of
plains and mountains, out of which
Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah,
Idaho, Montana and Nevada have been
carved each treasure vault from which
countless millions have been emptied
into the busy worlds channels of trade,
creating millionaires and multi-million-
aires while the trail-blazers themselves
were awakening echoes in camps that
aided more millions to the wealth OF
countries and their people.
All hail to the miner! He opened
the gates through which the more for
tunate passed to wealth. He uncom-
plainingly endured the privations and d
hardships which are ever the hand. d
maids of the pioneer. His youth disap G
peared in his combats with an adverse '
fortune. aliddle-age claimed him be-
fore he finished his battle, and old age I
has seized him. Physically broken
down, but rejoicing, he has lived to see

hereafter, which he is pre- a
pared to take when the signal is given Il

Island Is a Magnet.

In the Baltic the Danish island Born holm, which is situated about twenty four miles, east by south, from the nearest point of Sweden, may be re- garded as a huge magnet Although the power of this magnetic island is not so great that it can draw the nails out of ships, as was told of the legend ary magnetic hills, the magnetism of the rocks on tee island of Bornholm can and does cause a good deal of trou- bic to ships in quite another way. for the island exerts such an influence on the magnetic needle that it causes a vessel to turn pereeptible aside from it's course. The effect of the island magnetism is felt at distance of about nine and a half miles. On the island ct C. (one of the Argyllshire Heb rides), sltuate about three miles north west of Rum there is hill which has magnetic power sufficiently strong to affect the eompasses of vessels passing near it. The island is a mile in breadth by four and half miles in length

Queer Eoinciiences.

There is little world in which we live and the people most certain of this are those who have experienced strange coincidences which seem aI- most impossible. The New York Tel egraph relates some cases which are authentic. Harry Bradshaw, executive librarian of the Cambridge university library, had strange adventure in the Paris library A book had been lost for nearly century, and MT. Bradshaw went over to see if he could discover it. Search was fruitless, though there was strong presumption as to the part of the library where it would be found. He stood one day in one of the recesses of the library, describing it's probable appearance to the libra rian, about the height. thickness and similar binding to this" said he, talk ing book out of the shelves.
 It was the missing book.
 The stories of strange coincidances in the matter of the recovery of lost property are legion. Two years ago a ANay 2tot 1d5 at IOaS D4duG0 1Osl a gold ring while bathing. 4 reward was offered and all the boys of the place raked the whole shore up in search of it. But it was never found The next year the lady was at Long Branch again, and while reading on the shore, never looking for the ring or thinking of it, she turned it up accidentally with her parasol
 A woman out bicycling lost a jeweled scarfp;0, which she much va |. She did no ss it till the end of her jour ney, and as she had ridden 2G miles the prospect of finding it seemed small. She, however, gave notice of her loss to the police. On her return journey, when about mile from home. she punctured the tire of her machine, and on dismounting to discover the cause found the pin sticking in the tire.

Grow Most at Night.

It is a curious fact that night is the time which nature utilizes for growth. Plants grow much more in the night than in the daytime, as can be proved any time by measurement
 Measure vine at night, then meas ure it again in the morning and the next night, and it will be found that the night growth is two or three times that accomplished during the day
 During the day the plant is very busy gathering nourishment from va rious sources. and during the night this raw material is assimilated into the plant life.
 The same fact is true of the animal creation. Children grow more rapidly during the night
 In the day time, while the child is awake and active, the system is kept busy disposing of the wastes conse- quent on this activity; but during sleep the system is free to extend it's opera tions beyond the mere replacing of worn-9ut particles, hence the rapid growth.

Meaning of the Ghost Dance.

In one of the recently published yoi- umes of the Smithsonian Institution, Mir James Mooney explains that the underlying principle of the Sioux ghost dance is the doctrine that at some time the whole Indian race liv- ing or dead, will be reunited in life upon this earth, untroubled by death, hunger or disease. The object of tke dancers is to fall into kind of trance, in which they can see and converse with their dead relatives. The medi- cine man plays the part of mesmer ist, keeping the sun full in the face of the dancers, making passes before their eyes, and twirling sticks and feathers until tley become entranced. Such warlike outbreaks as that of 1890 in the United States are due to the att tempts of ambitious chiefs or medicine men to anticipate the Indian millen- nium through the annihilation of the white man.

A Roral Love Letter.

Sir Benjamin Stone, M F., was all lowed last year to photograph in the Vatican number of MSS. relating to Great Britain and going back hundreds of years. Some of them have never been in print One, we are told, which excited deep interest, was letter of Henry VIII to his dear Anne Boleyn. It was quite in the style of lover signing like a furnace" The anxious monarch writes:
 The approach of the time, which 1 have so long expected. rejoices me so much that it seems almost already come However, the entire accomplish ment cannot be until two persons meet which is more desired by me than anything else in the world. For what joy can be greater upon earth than to have the company of her who is my dearest friend, knowing like wise that she does the same on her part?-the thinking on which gives me pleasure. You may judge what effect the presence Of that person must have on me whose absence has made greater wound in my heart than either words or writing can express, and which nothing can cure but her re- turn
 At the foot of this scroll is the figure of heart, inserted amid the words, HI. cares for no other. Rex"

An Exasperatinc Letter.

A letter that arrived from England on one of the cold days of last week said in part: "A cycle of warm win ters seems to have set in. Last year was like spring at this season and to- day under my window pale, rain drenehed violets, creamy roses in be- lated bud, and primroses as hardy as weeds, tell the story of a mild winter and spring that threatens to come too soon." At this point the recipient Of the letter put on her fur cape. put an other log on. the fire and shiveringly finished the epistle.-New York Com mercial Advertiser.

Four Famous Statues.

The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes. the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Thebes, and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of it's property of emitting sounds when it's lips were touched by the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally a portrait model of King Amenophis III. and was one of pair of statues be- tween sixty and seventy feet high, carved out of single blocks of sand stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so well known the most remarkable is that of Bu5dha at Nara, raar Kioto in Japan. which was erected A. D. HOO. It is made of bronze, and is ffty-three feet six inches high and more than twenty eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 966 curls, and the i'm age is surrounded by glory or halo seventy eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast. Two smaller images, each twenty-five feet high, stand in front of the larger one. The total weight cf metal in the main figure is about 450 tons, of which 800 pounds consist of gold.

Science of Cheesemaking.- g.-There are many branches of science that are in trieate and very difficult to acquire and understood, and if there is one more difficult than another the manu- facture of cheese seems to be that one. When we consider the hidden power of rennet action, the active effect of fermentation and bacterial influences, the varied unknown conditions of milk as received at cheese factories and the intricate combinations that any or all of these form to effect the final re- suit, we see the many difficulties the eheesemaker must oyercome.-D.

The Trekking Wagon.


 The South African wagon is long, heavy cart mounted on four wheels, as a rule, with sort of canvas tent over the back half, leaving the front clear to carry the miscellaneous furniture of its owner, drawn by sixteen, eighteen or twenty oxen, curiously fieree-look- ing with their immense spread of horn, sometimes as much as eight feet from tip to tip and rarely less than six. but in reality as patient and hard working beasts as one could wish to find. Their mode of progression is certainly slow, but there Is strangeness and a fas- cination about 1t which may draw men to 1t almost as the Alps draw their devoeees. In front there marches the "voorlooper," generally a small boy leading the two foremost oxen by a rein or rope passed through their nos trils. The driver walks alongside with the long and terrible whip be uses so unsparingly, or else sits on the front of the wagon and gets of occasionally to lash up the whole team with unfall- ing impartiality. The travelling is all done at night, starting a little before sunset and marching until perhaps II or 12 o'clock; then there is a halt till a little before the first signs of dawn. when they go on again till the sun be- gins to get hot overhead, and then they lie for the day-Gentleman's Nigga zine.

Atmospheric Changes Foretold by Stone

In Finland species of stone, known as "semakuir," actually foretells the probable changes in the weather. In dry, fine weather the stone is of d dark gray color mottled with white spots
 but before approaching showers of thick mists it bIackens all over-most eonspieuously, of course, at the spaces which were previously white-and gradually returns again to it's former state as the weather improves. It's prophetic warnings are regarded by many as having superstitious origin, but a recent analysis of the stone ex- plains the cause and shows that there is nothing whatever mysterious in it's action. IL Is composed of a ground mass of clay and fossilized organic matter, with little rock salt and ni- ter scattered throughout in grains and small patches. These salts absorb the aerial moisture as it increases in amount, and dissolve in it, forming black surface films, while they regain their white color as the drier atmos- phere evaporates the moisture from them. The cast-off shell of a species of crab in Chili answers the same pur- pose, being extremely sensitive to at mospherie changes It remains quite

The Life Plant.

There is a plant in Jamaica called the life plant, because it is almost im- possible to kill it. When a leaf is cut off and hung up by string, it sends out white, thread-like roots, gathers moisture from the air, and begins to grow new leaves.
