THURSDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1901

CONGRESSMAN Mondell is proving him
self to be a power in the House. He
does not bluster-he makes every blow
tell. He seems 10 know no let up and
he is quite as well equipped for the fray
AS any man on the floor of the lower
house OF congress, The manner in
which he has gained his point in his en-
deavours to SECURE some legislation look
ing toward the construction Of reser.
voirs in the arid states will command
the admiration Of the west
In the matter of securing better mail
service he deserves the praise and graft
tude Of every man in these Rocky Noun
tain states. Being himself a thoroughly
western man he understands our needs
and the difficulties Of giving good ser
vice on fourth class pay. The Depart.
meut is doing it's best to place our mail
service on a better footing and has Mr..
Mondell as one OF the few congressman
to help it. Nearly every day gives us
fresh cause to admire the ability and
statemanship Of Mr.. Mondell as CON
pared with the representatives from
other states. We have one lone con.
gresham, but he is a power.

A HORRIBLE DISASTER.
rwenty-Six Men and Fifteen Horses
Known to Have Perished.

The telegraph brings news OF a terri
BILE disaster at mine No. l, at Diamond
vile, Wyoming, which occurred last
Monday evening, about an hour after the
night shift had gone to work. No one
knew Of the fire until John Anderson,
who was working neal the mouth OF one
Of the levels, came to the main level,
scorched and almost burned to death.
He had thrown an overcoat over his
head and forced his way through the
flames. The alarm was given and des-
perate efforts made to save the miners,
some twenty.six in number, who were
confined behind the flames. All efforts
were in vain and the sixth level was
plugged about two miles from the
mouth. 1t will be some days before the
charred remaing can be taken out.
Terrible scenes took place at the
mouth OF the mine, women tainted and
strong men wept like children. The Or
igin OF the fire is not known. The loss
Of property will be very great.

A GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Prospect That the Battle Lake and En-
campment Country Will be Favored
With a Typographical and Lat
er a Geological Survey.

Word comes from Senator Warren
that his request for a geological ex-
animation of the great Copper Dis
trict in Southern Carbon county is
about to be- complied with.
An agent of the Geological Survey,
S. f. Emmops, who was in that re-
gion last year, recommends that a
party be sent there the coming sea
son to make a Typographical map of
the area lying between Al deg. and
40 deg. 10 min. north latitude and
JOG deg. As min. and l07 deg. Is min.
west longitude which will include
, about twelve townships, AS follows:
Townships thirteen, fourteen and ff-
teen, in ranges 81, So, Sc, 81 and a
portion of SO. This survey would
take in all of the Battle Lake region
and a good share of the Encampnent
country. The fact that the Geology
cal Survey has consented to take no
tice of this mineral district is a great
Concession, and it is a consumation
Senator Warren has been laboring for
for the past year and IA half.
A geological survey. which now
seems likely to be had, would mean u
great deal for the Battle Lake and
Encampment copper country. Such
Il survey, followed, as it will be, by
accurate maps, will make mining in
that country an easy problem in COM
parison to what it is now. Now that
the Geological Department has con
scented to take this country under it's
wing we can all rest assured that
much good will result and the copper
region advanced wonderfully over the
course it would have been compelled
to travel had it been left to shift
along as best it could.

subsequently obtained the permission
Of Datto BaQui to keep it as souve-

were lounSing about their quarters.
When the Moros scattered in every d.
rcction, crying "El Moro. Ell Moro" at
the top of their lungs, Captain Gillen-
water, the commander, drew his COM
pany quickly and quietly into line, not
aware Of the nature Of the excitement,
but resolved to be prepared to meet
whatever developments might ensue.
The whole affair was over, however,
In far less time than it has taken to
tell it, and the Americans breathed 4
sigh of relief when they learned that
the Moro who ran amok' would run
no more.

A FUNSTON STORY.
The Gallant Kansan's Exciting Expert.
ences With o Cowboy.

The Gallant Kangan's Exciting Experl-
ences With q Cowboy.
This is the season for the Funston
story. Some Of the anecdotes told in
reference to the captor Of Aguinaldo
are more or less apocryphal. but until
the gallant general comes back from
the Philippines to deny them they will
probably pass unchallengcd. which
has been the case with n yarn that
originated somewhere in the West.
After Funston'S brief but exciting
experience in journalism he became a
conductor on the Santa Fe line, and
in this capacity found himself in al
most daily association with various
tough things in the cowboy line. One
day q cattle puncher who had imbibcd
moro whisky than was good for his
nerves boarded Funston's train at
way station, and Immediately began
to make trouble. Refusing to pay his
fare and shooting holes in the ceiling
Of the car proved to be among his spe-
cilaties. He was deal bigger than
Funston, but the latter did not hesl-
tate to emphasize his authority by
kicking the fellows pistol from his
hand and throwing MIN off the train.
The cowboy grabbed chunk Of bal
last and smashed car window; then
he fed down the track, with Funston
in hot pursuit, and flinging gravel az
ter the fugitive as he ran. Finally the
cowboy got away and his pursuer,
tired and breathless. returned to his
train. The chase had occupied some
thing over half an hour and Funston's
train was Just so much behindhand at
the end of the run. The divisional su-
perlntendent made an inquiry and
Funston explained.
"You did right to fire him." said the
superintendent, "but what did you
chase him for?'
Because I was mad" replied the
conductor. "You would be mad, too,
If anybody flung rock through your
window"
Probably" said the superintendent

Eemaie Bird Rules,

Among several species Of the birds OF
prey a Difference for the female sex is
shown which is not met with in the
great majority of feathered kind, says
Mr.. Frank c. Kirkwood, an ardent stu
dent of the ways of birds and beasts.
He says:
Several years ago it was my fortune
to capture two young eagles of the bald
head species. When meat was thrown
into the room where they were confined
the male showed plainly how great was
his desire to pounce upon it, but glance
from his sister was sufficient to keep him
rooted to the perch until she had I'M
ished. When beef or other similar meals
were given them this easy victory for
the fair sex was the rule, but when a
fish was introduced it was only after a
fierce fight that the female succeeded in
reminding her brother of the respect
due her.
"A pair of young brcat-horned owls
which l at one time had also displayed
this female domination l fed them prln-
cipally on live rats, and when they were
turned Loose in the room. the male re-
tanned stolid and indifferent pose upon
his perch until the female had satisfied
her hunger, after which he would des-
patch what was left Many, other are
the instances among the eagles, hawks
and owls in which the female bird is the
master of the situation. ."-Bdltimore

TRAINED BY MACHINERY.
Now Way to Teach Elephants Some Old
Tricks,

lf1ckS,
They are training elephants by mach
inery, says the St. Louis Republican.
1t is something they did not do in the
oldcn times; but, then, people generally
have changed from the old ways, and
there is no reason why elephant trainers
should not do so.
Elephant instructors have devised
new method of imparting wisdom tc
their charges. In former years there
were as many methods as trainers, but
with the invention of machinery and the
progression cf thought material
change has been wrought.
At the present time the elephant in
structor goes about his work in pre-
ciscly the same manner as does the con-
tractor of a sky-scraper. II the material
il, hand is to be raised, the very quickest
and safest way of elevating it is enl-
ployed. If ten-tcn beam is fitted to
certain position On the fifth floor, it is
placed there in the shortest time pos
sibie by the Use of huge crane. If the
elephant trainer wants an exhibition OF
head balancing or rcpe-walklng he is
enabled by the use of the crane to fur
niSh a clue of the most effective nature
in minimum of time.
Dangling at the end of the huge der
rick the elephant is placed in any posi-
ton desired. Once in this position, his
education is commenced from that point.
The new method Of training is an ex-
pertinent as yet, but its success is as
sured, at least as far as young elephants
are concerned. Recently a circus re-
ccivcd a consignment of dozen or
more baby pachyderms from Ceylon,
Suramtra and India. Their ages ranged
from 8 to IL years, and their weight be-
tween 1900 pounds and ton.
Coming fresh from the jungles OF
their native country, the young elephants
possessed anything but docile nature
Hence, their training was accomplished
only with difficulty.
The beginner was taken into ring
in the circus training barns and heavy
harness attached to strong crane or
derrick placed around the beasts body
The instructor then gave the command: ::
Stand on head and forefeet.'
This would be Greek. of course, to
the pupil, but the meaning of the COM
mand gradually dawns upon the ami
mails instinct after being lifted into the
air and tilted forward on his head and
trunk sereval times.
Thus, in due course of time, the
youthful pachyderm is taught success
fully all the acts known to clcphantlne
wisdom.

Fortune in a Mattress.

time ago of the sudden death Of an old
woman named Marguerite Blassau'
who had long been regarded as paup'
or. She had been in receipt of out
door relief for a number Of years, and
had been regularly aided as we'll by

who inquired into the causes of her
death found some $1,000 in bank notes
concealed about her clothing. and
further Investigations revealed the ex-
istence-stowed away in the womans

nChurchyard Luck"

"some of your readers" writes a
clerical correspondent of the West
minister Gazette, may be interested to
know that it IS not only In Trinidad
that mothers have odd ways of ex-
pressing their feelings about the In
crease Of their family. Some three or
four years ago, in village not fifty
miles from London, the Wife OF a Ia
boring man had recently presented her
already overburdened lord and master
with another child. A visitor, on hear
ing the news, asked: Well, Mrs. Jones'
how many does that make" The an
swer was: Sixteen. sir, and no church
ward luck l have not had the heart
to inquire whether since then she has
added to the number, or whether she
has at last had 'churchyard luck, as
she called It,"
