'Mr President and Gentlemen-I do not
feel that can add anything TO what has
been so well expressed in the resolutions
offered here to-day: can only say that 1

kinley for more than forty years: first as a
bright-eyed, good-hearted. ambitious boy at
school, admired and loved by every one. He
was the soul Of good nature and kindness.

disagreement or an enemy in school, and

A Mexican Throws a Lighted Gig
arctic Into a Keg Of Powder.

From miner who came up last eve.
ming from Nacosari the Review learns
that on Friday afternoon of last week
an explosion occurred in one of the
shafts in the mine which did consider
able damage. From the facts learned
it seems that Mexican employed in
one of the shafts at Pilares threw a
lighted cigarette into keg of powder
in one of the drifts. The explosion
that followed was terrific. The Mexi-
can had come out near the mouth OF
the drift when the explosion took place
but was badly bruised by being struck
with flying bolders and pieces OF tim
ber. The damage to the mine was
quite serious. The explosion set fire
to the timbers in the tunnel which
caught those of the shaft near by and
the fire burned fiercely until Saturday
when the flames were subdued.
At the time of the accident it hap
pened that there was no one in the
shaft, the men having come up to eat
their dinner. The damage to the shaft
will delay work for several weeks un-
til the new timbers can he put in. The
work of putting in th 1iCw timbers had
begun Monday morning when our in
formant left there.-Review.

The old mines of Silver Reef, Utah,
are being worked by leasers and it is
reported that considerable money is
being taken out. The mines of that
camp were big producers about twenty
years ago, but the rich pockets were
worked out and the mines shut down.
The ore was in sandstone and was con-
sidered one of the most wonderful geo.
logical deposits on the continent. In
one of the Slopes of the mine a cedar
tree was found converted into sandstone.
which was found to be as rich in silver
as any of the ore in the stope. Many
curious petrifactions were found in the
mine, all being rich in silver. The
advent of a railroad within about sixty
miles of the camp seems to have given
it new lease of flife.-Kingman Miner.

Shasta county has a Bunker hill that

drifts from which hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been taken. On

seams have been cut all over the hill,
