This Afternoon-Some Artistic
ThinOS.

hibition of china painted by herself,
and the work is very beautiful.
Miss Westoott has contributed sever
al rare lace scarfs, an early Christian
lamp, used with q wick floating in oil,
and found in the catacombs in Rome:

TO TAKE 1T ALL.
The 6. H, Will Probably Be Given
The Entire Captain Coal Output.

1--WE have as yet made no contract
with the G. II. to handle our coal out
put, - said General Manager Eddy this
morning, "but the chances are that
such an arrangement will be made
within few days.
"They tried our coal and found 1t
the best they had used Mr.. Van Week
then came out. and after an inspection,
made proposition to US to handle the
entire output. With the exception of
some minor details, all has been ar
ranged, and l think these will go
through, and the G. h. will take all
the CAPTAIN coal"

record equal to the livery barn Of
John F. Wilson. His losses by
fire have been heavy and remark
able. Three times his business
has been destroyed, and three
times rebuilded. Each time the
fire occurred in April, and evident
ly was the work Of an incendiary.
Here is the record, as it appears in

Items of Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.
GOLD INHoUGHToN COUNTY
Quartz Rock Specimens Are
Rich in the Precious
Mineral.

A Houghton dispatch to Detroit
papers says: Henry Schuster, of
the old halfway house on the Onton-
agon road, now known as the Wi
bnona, from the copper mine of that
name, has discovered gold on his
farm on the southeast quarter Of
section 10, town 52 north, range 3G
west. The rock is quartz and
specimens brought to Houghton are
rich in gold, plainly visible in small
nuggets and fakes. The same
quartz vein extends across the lands
Of the Stonington aud Everett mines,
now owned by local capitalists.
Placer gold has been found in many
streams in the copper district, not
, ably in Fire Steel river, but not in
sufficient quantities topay for work
