THE JEWEL cAskET.

Every variety of chatelaine arrange
ment is in high popularity just now.
Silver monogram finger purses in seal,
walrus, alligator. elephant and other
serviceRble feathers are decidedly con
venient and useful.
Watches are mounted in bracelets, card
cases, purse tops, etc. The smallest yet
noted is a bicycle watch in the form of
stud to be worn in the buttonhole. In
ring watches the dial is usually set
around with brilliants.
The fancy for setting diamonds or 9th
er brilliant stones in the jaws of griffin
or lion is striking one. of which an ex-
ccllent variation is to attach the gem
ms pendant from the mouth. thereby
affording freer display of its beauty.
Bracelets afford two rather taking fads.
One is the silver bracelet engraved with a
favorite quotation from Shakespeare.
The other consists in buying plain gold
band, so that favored friends and ac-
quaintances may have the initials of
their names engraved upon it.-Jewelers'

THEY FOOLED THE CONDUCTOR.

Tt was a slick trick, and it worked" said a well known conductor, in telling of an incident of his last trip down to this place, says the Galveston News.
 Just before We left Dallas" he said, "I noticed a young woman and two young men get on the train, and when I came through a little later to collect the ticket I found them sitting tOgeth- ar in double scat. When l stopped at their seat the man sitting next to the aisle handed me two tickets, one for man and 1wife and q single ticket to Galveston. I took them, thinking noth- ing of it. but on passing back and forth trough the car several times after that l noticed that the man and wife did not seem to be getting along very well to- gether; in fact their actions toward each other would lead one to believe they were peril strangers, and dur ing the day their actions became more and more noticeable, until my suspi- cions began to be aroused, but as I knew nothing 1 held my peace until all most here, when, finding the one who

of filial piety. he ssnould have lived a life of monastic seclusion. Again and again the Gazette, with the permission of the Chunchi Gnu, returned to the charge. and the indignation of this hard hitting democratic court journal was only appsased, it is said, by the personal intervention of the empress dowager, who, as a mark of her dis pleasure. ordered a portrait of the of lending prince 10 be eXiled to the Amur river, and with this punishment the ins ctdent was declared closed.
 "Every now and then the council of editors goes a little too far The au- thorities attacked or the board of cen. sors make indignant representations, and then attempts are made to with draw the offending number from cir culation. I have seln n at least one issue of the paper where a paint brush had been run over several of the lines.
 "There is one edition of the Gazette printed on creamy white paper and copies of this are supplied to the high officials throughout the empire by the courier service under the war depart- ment. A copy is then supplied to the great printing shops in Pelin and in all
 
 on yellow paTer are printed to meet the local demand.
 ''I visited the printing shop in PekiD the other day. though wi.h very little encouragement from the proprietor, who was, or pretendsd to be of the litterati class and wore the most enor" nous pair of tortoise shell trimmed spectacles I have ever set n. The shop was composed of three or four large rooms filled with about forty typos, stripped to the waist. Around each room were fifteen hundred to two thousand pigeon holes about four inches by six, in each of which were piled up about a hundred of the willow wood types. From the number of the pigeon holes I inferred that the Pekin Gazette can be printed with about eighteen hundred characters. The types were being set into forms of about six by eight inches. ar1 two pages We're set at once. Then a brush full of India ink is run across the types, a sheet of dampened paper run over it and then withdrawn, and when dry given to the folder and the binder who in a few minutes stitches it into place.
 ''The greatest fillip tO the circulation of the Gag tte is the fact that all nom- nations to office are first printed in it, so that all the aspirait taotais, or ex- pectant office holders of every grade, buy copies th It they may secure the good news of their appointments at the earliest possible moment.

 "He said he and the young man sit ting opOsite to him when he handed me the tickets were from Kansas City and having lost their positions in that city. had started to come south to see if they could find something to do down here in Texas and that they had got ten as far as Dallas when their money gave out, and, having been assured of getting positions in Galveston, wanted 10 come on here.

MINING NOTES
Stories of Mineral Development In
 Southern Arizona.

Parties from HeIvetia state that there is plenty of ore on the dumps and in the smeltlr bins, but that the water supply is very low. The company hopes to strike a good supply of water in their workings IS they attain greater depth. It is not at all improbable that if this hope does not materialize socn a pipe line will be constructed to the river which would furnish an abundance of water.
 Frank Fish came in from the Cup rite mine, and speaking of the distric. in which il is l0csted h. said there are some very good claims being worked there. The Black Horse, from which a god deal of ore has been shipped. is in the district. Alex McCay is also working some claims near by. Consid- erable work has been done on the Cup rite; a 50-fuot shaft has been put down and fine bOGy of copper ore averaging 10 per cent. has been encountered. A drift has been run about thirty feJ, from ;he bottom of the shaft, which is also in good ore.
 It is reported that negotiations are pending for the construction of a mill on pr. Matas' famous Del Orc proper ties. The doctor has been working three mines for three years and has done a large amount of developmJ ut do"k. with very good results, as large bodies of gold ore have been shown up.
 Operations will begin on the Purcell group If mines. eleven in number by the first of next week. Purcell has been working more OF less on rhis group for the last three years and has done considerable development work.
 r. B. McCleary, who is in town from the Old Badly mining district eight miles from HelVetia, said to a Star rep resentatiVe that h. had six claims in the district carrying silver. gold and lead. He has sunk two incline shafts on the property with good results. Over two hundred feet of development work has been done.
 Three miles from McClearys mines is the Old Florida group of mines, six in number. This group has had large amount of work done on it in the past. Owing to the rise in copper the owners who are Denver people. are making preparations to resume work. Their expert recently visited the property with that aim in view. MT McCleary says there are some fine prospects in the district, and also that there is also a likelihood of a sale being made in the district shortly of some new prospects that are now being opened up.-Tuc- son Star.

wolf captured, and the Eastern Colo rado Live Stock association. as a body. offered $15 for every animal killed. In Denver scores of spOrtsmen with dogs and guns are arranging to make an eX- petition to the range of sand hills in which the coyotes are breeding, and letters from Nebraska and Kansas in dicate that hundreds will be on the ground from neighbOring states. Many Wyoming people are already there. Tha sand hills break d monotonousIy level prairie, or plain, near the state line be- tween Colorado and Nebraska. and it is here that the little animals breed by thousands every year.
 Twelve years ago, when one of these big wolf hunts was he'd, it was believ- ed that the coyote was a thing of the past because so many of the animals had been slaughtered. Eighteen hun- dred were killed at this time. but the mortality appears to have had little ef- feet upon the coyotes. While the cow boys do not fear them. instances have been known where the children of ranchmcn have been attacked by them and have narrowly escaped death.
