LINCOLN COUNTY COAL.
The Mines Visited By Goal Mine Inspector
], W, Fleming,

Hon. j. w. Fleming, mayor of Silver
City, also the coal mine inspector for
the territory, arrived in the city today.
Mr. Fleming has just been at the White
Oaks and Captain coal fields. At White
Oaks the Old Abe company is shipping
two carloads of coal daily from its coal
mine. Owing to the necessity OF hauling
the coal Is miles to Carizozo station the
output is not near as large as it would
be If White Oaks had railroad connec-
tion. At Captain IT'S men are employed
and the town has grown considerably,
Five carloads of coal are being shipped
at present daily from Captain, but the
shipments will be greatly increased in
the future. The miners are at present
working on slope No. 4, which shows
five and half feet of superior coal. The
shaft is down 1870 feet and no fault has
been struck, showing that the vein is
permanent one. Tomorrow Mr.. Elem.
ing will leave for Monero to inspect the
coal mines at that camp.

Wonderful Operation.

In May, 1890, one of the most re-
markable surgical operations on rec
ord was performed by DIR. Lavelangue
in the Children's hospital in Paris. II
was the case of an idiot child. Its
head had stopped growing since it was
4 years Of age and was only one-third
the normal size. Believing that the
idiocy was due to compression of the
brain, the doctor divided the skull
longitudinally and kept the edges of
the bones from uniting. Fresh de
posits of bone took place, and the skull
gradually expanded to almost it's prop
er size. Then the intellectual facul-
ties, which had hitherto been those of
an infant, grew stronger and stronger
every day till at last the child was as
sound and healthy as any other in
France.-EXchange.

Drought In New South Wales.

The drought of the last few years has
cost New South Wales an enormous
amount of money. The focks of the
colony have shrunken from $4,000, 900
to 46,OOO,OOO, representing a loss of 90
100000 sheep. If to this is added the
loss of the natural increase, the shrink
age amounts to 5O,OOO,OOO sheep
enough, that is, to equip a considerable
sized colony. In addition to this
there has been loss of nearly 300 1000
horses and 10000 cattle. That the
colony has been able to survive these
terrific losses is a striking proof Of en-
ergy and resource. Translated into
money, the colony has suffered loss,
due to mere inadequate rainfall, of
from sec. 900, 900 to 500, 100000.

CHINESE TYPEWRITER.
1t Has 1000 Characters and Was In
rented by u Missionary.

1t Has 1000 Characters and was m
vented by IA Missionary.
The Rev. d. H. Sheffield of the Amer
lean Board Mission, president OF the
Tung-cho college for Chinese students,
saws the New York Press, has invented
a typewriter for the Chinese.
The Chinese language consists OF at
least $4,000 characters, and careful
analysis of the classical works as well
as of the spoken language has shown
that not more than 5000 are in general
use, while 1000 are ample for almost
every purpose. The typewriter which
DIR. Sheffield invented writes this num-
Der. The 4, ZOO characters are grouped
In alphabetical order, according to
their accepted spelling in English, q
large number Of those most commonly
used being placed in separate group
regardless of spelling. The type are
cast on the under part of large wheel,
the upper side of which is covered with
printed characters, each one exactly
over the type it represents.
The carriage moves freely to the
right or left, and projecting from it is
q pointer to locate the characters to be
printed. The wheel is revolved with
thC lClI htlhO uutil IhC Sloup VI AhC III
which the desired characters to be
found is opposite the carriage, and the
carriage is then moved with the right
hand to the right or left until the
pointer covers the character sought
for. To the right is a crank, one turn
Of which inks the type, while small
hammer forces the paper against the
type, leaving clear impression. The
type wheel locks during the printing
and is automatically corrected if slight
~ out of place, the characters being
brought into perfect alignment. The
mechanism performs the operation of
spacing, etc, as in other machines.
When it is considered that the writ
ten characters consist of from to %
strokes, which even the best Chinese
scholar writes slowly, as they handle
the brush delicately, and that a char
acter signifies not a letter. but a whole
word, it will readily be seen that DR..
Shefield's machine saves great
amount of time and labor, while it Of
fers the advantages of other machines
namely, uniformity, accuracy, exact
cpacing and neat work.

FELL TO HIS DEATH.
willard Thayer the BaIIoonist Has Made
His Last Ascension,

His Last Ascension,
willard Thayer, a former resident
OF this city, and we'll known here as a
daring aeronaut, lost his life by falling
from his balloon at StreetoF, ILL.,, last
Thursday. Thayer will be remember
ed here in connection with the robbery
at DORIS store in Chad wick, as well as
his daring ascensions made on several
occasions. He served his time for lar
cehy and only "A few weeks ago was In
TINS city trying to arrange for giving
an ascension here on the Fourth of
July. While in prison his wife, who
resided here, secured divorce from
him.
He was killed while making bal
loon ascent at a Woodmen's picnic
at Streeter, Ill. The ascent was sue
cessiul until height of 200 feet was
reached, when Thayer attempted to
descend by his parachute. When he
lngs holding the parachute to the top
OF the balloon became fouled ia some
way and failed to come loose. Thayer's
weight caused the balloon to turn up
side down. The gas, of course, then
escaped, and the balloon came down
with rush, the unfortunate aeronaut
clinging to the parachute. He was
dashed on the railroad tracks, aad his
neck, back, both legs and both arms
were broken. Thayer went to Streeter
from Collins, Mich, on July 4, and was
to have made an ascension with Nine.
Carmon. She narrowly escaped death
by the balloon taking fire. and was car
rled away by one foot, which got
caught in the ropes. On the Saturday
following Thayer made an ascension
and narrowly escaped being killed
then, his parachute failing to be loos-
ened from the balloon.
His remains were brought to Collins,
where his parents reside, for burial.

On THE DIAMOND.

The games Thursday and Tuesday
proved disastrous ones to the Stevens
Leaders. The teams they went up
against are up-to-date amateurs, and
some of the players were old leaguers,
two or three of them being professional
players with good records to their
credit. Had our boys held their nerve
and not gone to pieces in the eighth
inning with the Sheridan's the result
would have been different, as they
were in the lead. Score:
