day.
Yesterday was distinctly a day Of
variegated weather. The temperature
was phenomenally even, there being
a range of but three degrees between
Z a. m. and 8 p. m, and but seven de-
grees between 8 p. m. and midnight,
and so far so good. But that was
about the most that can be said of the
day. All day long, and far into the
night, there was alternately rain and
snow, but occasional brief moments of
sunshine during the daylight hours.
The streets were amply supplied with
mud, and walking was therefore most
disagreeable.

forecast Of the bureau at Washington

Last evening the board of directors
Of the Board of Trade Building Com
pany met in the Board Of Trade rooms
and held a lively meeting, but the ma
jority of the business was OF a routine
nature. The company extended the
architects time for preparing the work
ing plans of the various floors, as he
had been delayed in the work by the
negotiations with prospective tenants.
A committee composed Of Geo.
House, chairman, Geo. A. Laughlin
and Geo. Speidel was appointed to re-
ceive propositions from any Of the
lodges or societies that may decide to
have space on the fifth floor. It will
depend on the propositions received
whether the fifth floor will be arranged
in large assembly rooms, suitable for
lodge meetings and entertainments, or
will be cut up into Offices.
The delay in this decision is aus
ing the public announcement Of the
plans to be held back.
To-day the architect of the new
building, Mr.. Edward Franzheim, will
leave for New York and other Eastern
cities for the purpose Of visiting some
of the large theatres there. in the hope
that he may receive some additional
ideas on decoration and ventilation
that may be used advantageousiy in
the new theatre here.

Mr.. P. H. Irwin, of Baltimore, chief
eng or of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, arrived in the city at four o'clock
yesterday afternoon in his private car.
He left the car and spent the night
at the Mcclure House. To a Register
man who saw him, Mr.. Irwin stated
that his visit wal not SO much a mat
ter connected with any local plans
of the railroad company as matters of
a private nature in Pittsburg.
Mr.. Irwin virtually gave the assur
ance that the present passenger depot
on South street is merely a temporary
structure, and that it is the intention
Of the B. & o. officials to give Wheeling
a substantial modern depot building.
just when these plans will be carried
out can only be surmised, but the
improvements now being made to the
old station would seem to indicate a
purpose to use it for several years at
least.
Mr.. Irwin said that B. & o. officials
had discussed the advisability of locat-
ing the depot at the east end OF
Eighteenth street. This would make
it necessary to tunnel Chapline
hill, or to use the present terminal
tunnel. 1t would be a happy solution
to more than one question, inasmuch
as the location of the depot at that
point would no doubt involve the re-
moval of the present tracks from Six
teenth street.
An Associated Press telegram receiv-
ed from Cleveland yesterday conveys
the information that there has been
an official denial by the c.. L. & W. off,
Gals in that city of the reports that
the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling rail-
road will enter Wheeling and make
connections with the fast trains of the
B. & o.
The Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
was recently absorbed by the Bal
timore & Ohio, and the report that
the Ohio River was to be bridged to
connect the tracks Of the two roads,
was generally circulated.
The statement is made by the G.
L. & w. officials that that road will
continue to be operated as an indie
pendent property, as heretofore.
A Wheeling gentleman, who is in
close touch with railroad matters.
stated that in his opinion the purchase
of the B. & o. by the Pennsylvania was
simply a move to prevent the rate cut
ting which has been ruinous to both
companies in some localities. 1t means
that there will be uniform rates on
the two roads, but there will not likely
be any changes in management, or any
effort to cut down the force of en-

Homo Mission Society Meeting.

The Home Mission Society met at the Bank Hotel on the afternoon of May 10th. Several cases of illness were reported to the Society, all of whom received the necessary attention. Aid has been given to those who have lost by fire, and children have been en- abled to attend Sabbath school who otherwise could not have done SO at present.
 Mrs. Carroll, treasurer pro tenn, re- ceived almost eight dollars. Three names were added to the Society's membership roll of seventy-fve.
 Mesdames Sisson, POuthie, Fryer, Jurden and Hart are the visiting com mittee until the second Friday in June, the date of the next meeting of the Society.
 It is the wish of the Society to have all persons interested in this common cause of aiding all who have been un- fortunate to report any cases Of illness, whether among our own people or strangers? The latter may not need aid, yet home feeling may be given the sick if called uyOn by the Society's committee.

Important Strike Near Case cr>nAs.

Important Strike Nsas Case Cr&nde.
 Last spring Chas. Addicks, a Color ado miner of many years experience. in looking over the Casa Grande country in quest of something good, found promising mineralOgical and geological condition in the Frank Brownell properties, situated about 60 miles southwest of Casa Grande, on the west side of the Quijotoa valley. Believing they would develop into val uable gold properties MT. Addicks pur- chased the group and immediately commenced sinking shafts along large rhyolite dike to water level, the latter being reached at depth of 100 feet. rbe shafts were sunk in 8 vein trending along the dike and all showing ore containing gold and cop per values. When the last shaft reached the water level, the vein took sharp turn under the great dike and exposed a body of telluride of gold and silver ore in the combination classed as petzite. It usually carries about IS per cent. gold and 50 per cent. silver, and in this case, according to assays, is no exception to the rule. The ore body uncovered is four feet in width. The inflow of water is so strong that further development must wait the installation of pumps Mir. Addicks states that the ore and geo. logical conditions are duplicate of the great Cripple Creek mines. This is the first strike of this class of ore in this section and further development will be awaited with keen interest," Florence Blade.

4 Broad Hint.
committee.

The following hint from the editor of the Herald ought to help Sweet Springs, Mo-. concludes the Kansas City Star: There is no reasonable excuse for any man to live in a town if he doesn't like it. If you have no word of cOmmendation to say of your town emigrate You won't stop the town clock by going away. The church bells will have the same musical ring, the little dogs will play as briskly, fish in the river will bite just as we'll, and the pure air, bright sunshine and sparkling water will have the same health-giving properties. If yon have become thoroughly sour and disgruntled, and loss to yourself, go down to the bridge over Blackwater, tie rope around your neck with a great big rock on the end and get off the earth; the little birds will warble as your body shoots through space, "there goes nothing going nowhere; would there were others en route to the same place."

RAILWAY LINES.
Cochiso b Likely to Be the Most FA. voeod Section in tho
 Territory.

It does look very favorable for CO- chi-e county this year. in 1902 and henceforth. The day of staging is about over, at least long hauls. The papers of the two counties, Pima and Cochise, have had more or less to say about the Southern Pacific and it's railway projects, with occasional allu- sions to the Copper Queen (Phelps- Dodge) and the Greene Consolidated, 1, builders of railroad lines.
 It is certain that Phelps-Dodge will build from Bisbee to Fl Paso and touch at Douglas, the new border town, at the junction with their NacOsari branch. They are getting away from the Southern Pacific, but that is not wholly possible unless they push west to the coast. and there Is likelihood of their reaching Guaymus or some port below that, one of the conditions the Mexican government imposes CpOn railroad builders. This outlet affords an opening for lumber supplies and coal in particular, both necessary to towns, mining camps and railroads.
 The latest phase in railroad build- ing its 6 prospective line from Tomb stone to the Turquoise district, twenty miles, a rise of 200 feet, thence to Douglas, a distance of twenty-eight miles.
 The fact that the Phelps Dodge sur veyors are on the outskirts of Tomb stone and indications point to their covering the route designated. If this company builds road to Fl Paso, with the Bisbee district. the valleys and also the Nacasori district as feeders, it looks reasonable that they tap the Tombstone district, where POO men will be employed before the end of this year, also the Turquoise district, where there are now 25O men employed in Ryan, Copper Belle, Great Western and Turquoise camps. This route will not take in Bisbee, but will go through the Sulphur Springs valley, in the na. ture of branch to the A. & s. E.. Bisbee-El Paso Phelps Dodge) through line.
 This is one of the projects in sight according to we'll informed people whom the Star representative encoun- tered this week.
 On the other hand, the Southern Pa cific has an eye to the main chance, and it will not be surprising to see that company tap Tombstone, the Tur- quose district and Pearce. These districts and to the transcontinental l route. The run from Tombstone via Turquoise and Pearce to Cochise Sta tiOn is 45 miles, or whereabouts, as the line would likely be built.
 It is known that Southern Pacific officials have been over the route and to La Cananea. So keep your eye on Cochise county and watch for big things in railroad and town building, opening of mining districts and in- creased population. To go with tn is. more cattle raising and expansion in agricultural pursuits.-Star.
