The Fate of a Smasher.

Portland Oregonian.
 Mrs. Carrie Nation who few months ago was the battle-ax and Boadicea of the prohihitionists of Kan sas, now languishes in Topeka jail and is without a friend. The 1000 church members who promised to follow her and help her smash every saloon in To- peka now permit her to serve out a fine of $14S in the Topeka jail. Mrs. Nation Is deeply disgusted that she has been deserted by pr. Mcfarland and by that most pugnacious parson, the Rev MT. Emerson. No minister has visited Mrs. Nation in prison. Da- vid Nation. the husband, also turns a deaf ear to his wifes appeal. He says that she need not look to him for sym pathy or help. If Mrs. Nation Is sane, she deserves no sympathy; If she is insane, she ought to be transferred to a hospital for darkened minds.
 The fool hen chuckles joyously over the egg that Is destined to furnish some one else with an omelet.

crosses the YaQui. In the vicinitl ore many antigua" mines, worked ii the past and reputed to have yielded handsomely. One. the Zapucha, i' but couple of miles away, and tho ruins of couple of arrastras, whict are said to have been used to work it's ores, are visible close to the rancf building and across the arroyo there from. There is wide ledge in the Zapucue, but the pay streak is very narrow. The ledge is said to be all mineralized, and it would probably pay tO work upon a big scale-tht problem of sufficient supply of water being solved The ledge makes the backbone of a porphyry mountain and the croppings, which stand uI several hundred feet above the DOT. phyry sides of the hill makes con. spicuous object in the landscape, measuring 1900 feet in length and 25C to 300 feet in width.
 From the summit of the croppings upon the Zapuche ledge there is wis ible through gap in the mountain ridge succession of low, reddish hills, and near them, upon the plain at their base is the ruin of an old church. The site Is known as the Cerro Colo rado and is said to have been once a prosperous town built upon the work ing of rich placer mines in the im. mediate vicinity.
 Southward from Terais, about one league, is the Rcalito mine, owned by MT. Louis Frank of Ores. This prop erty is also an antigua and in the arroyo near at hand, are the ruins of many arrastras used in crushing its ores at one time. There is a l4-foot ledge which can be traced 5000 metres. and along which are numerous "tajos or open cuts from which the ores we're were extracted by the workers in olden time. The ore is said to be of a class better for concentration than reduction by any other process.
 About three leagues southeast from Terais is Tepeguaje where an Amer ican company with headquarters at Sioux City, Iowa, is developing some very promising properties.
 Eastward from Ierais, about three leagues, lies La Providencia, another antigua" property with big ledge and evidences of work having been done long ago.
 h the vicinity of La Providencia IS an old copper mine which tradition says was worked by three Americans nearly forty years ago. They erected a fine brick building and otEer struc- lures of brick, put up shelter aud got everything ready for work upon an extensive scale, when they were surprised by Indians aud massacred
 At Terais we fell back upon our own resources in the provision line, and MT. Stohl demonstrated that he had mastered the art of camp cooking. He fried the bacon to turn, and his dexterity in Tipping flap jack in a frying pau would have done credit to Japanese juggler in any of his sleight of hand performances.
 Friday morning, March the first, we went over to examine the Zupache mine, and were away from the ranche until some time in the afternoon. Except the pack mule and the mozo's horse it was plainly apparent that our mounts were united for further travel, and upon our way back we held council and determined to n, a tra aHnrt n nnalya haffar

WAYSIDE NOTES.

The route planned to follow was to leave the main travelled road tO Snaqui de Batuc at NacOri and go to Terais, place about eight leagues southeast from Nacori. to look at a gold prop erty which MT Kislingbury had been sent to examine. thence cross the mountains to Suaqui rather than re- turn to Nacori So at evening we contracted with SenOr Navarro to outfit us the next day with four sad dle horses, pack animal and moso' When the outfit was pre-ented the next morning it looked somewhat du- bious. The moso had fair mount, the pack mule was good, but the other horses were sorry specimens. To my lot fell big sorrel horse which sick ened on the road and was left behind at the Delavan mine, where we stopped in the afternoon, (SeIior Ma varro, who accompanied us, giving me his own horse to go through to Teraisl and Messrs. Kissligbury and Stohl getting smaller horses that would not move out of walk without a vigor- ous application of whip and spur. We were also accompanied by SeIor Jesus Varela owner of cattle ranch near Terais-Messrs. Navarro and Varela going along to show us the Delayan copper mine they are working, which they described as but little way of our route of travel. They were both finely mounted and it was severe work for our poor, lily fed plugs to keep up with the fat, sleek animals they rode.
 We reached conclusion that the Delayan copper mine was consider ably off from our route, for it was nearly two o'clock when we reached it, and if as close as stated--four leagues we should have been there in a couple of hours. The mine is a small one, the ledge but about four feet wide, the ore in kidneys, ,aDd quite high in grade. Five tons shipped to Hermoslllo netted the owners S250, Mexican money.
 From the Delavan mine our route led over a mountain ridge through a pass named Fl Puerto de Guasimas, so named on account of large numbers of large grey birds which are called ''guasimas. Sefor Varela wanted to show us some coal in the vicinity, which he assured us was very near ("muy cerquita'0 We were in a hurry to reach Terais the same even- ing, and as politely declined the polite offer. While in the canon lead ing down from the pass Sei1Or Ma varro overlook us, (having secured auether horsel at spring whose waters are strongly impregnated with sulphur.

We noticed small boy at the gate of the watering pen whose duty was to keep away all cattle not bearing the brand of the rancho The water is drawn from a well about forty feet deep, dgged upon the bank of an arroyo, and rises to within ten feet of the sur face.

Yard flushed with wrath. and striding
toward the workman, planted his heels
firmly on top OF the hose. shutting off

wrath gave way and he denounced the

Wires as Weather Prophets.

According 90 pr. Eydam. German
physician. there arc no more reliable
weather prophets than telegraph wires.
This novel diseovery was made by him
in The following manner: As he was
waiting FOR a train at country station
he heard shrin sound. which was made
BY the wind as II passed through net
work of nearby wires. ~ once the doc
tor remembered that n. had frequently
heard a similar sound either Immediately
before or after a storm or heavy fall
of rain or snow. and il naturally occurred
TO him TO Try and ascertain whether there
MAS any connection between the sound
and such changes in tho Weather
As n heavy shower of rain fell within
forty-ciEht hours after be had heard the
sound az the railroad station. he conclud-
90 that there was such = connection. and
hs then determined 10 investigate the
matter thoroughly As = result he now
maintains. FIRST that any unusual disturb.
snce IN the telegraph wires Is an infalll.
bic indicator OF bad weather. ard. Sec
ond, that the nature o. the changes in
the atmosphere may be learned from the
sound which thu wind makes when pass
ing through the wires.
Thus n deep sound. he Saws which II Of

Gates that there will I've slight showers OF
rain with moderate winds within from
