Douglas goes through a hun dred dangerous experiences and always come out scathiess. He owes most of his good luck to a ring, an amulet, "The Sign of the Prophet" which was given him by La Violette, an Indian maiden whose life he had saved, and which often protected him from death at the hands of the su- perstitious savages. After much suffer- ing and considerable hardships and per- ils, Ross Douglas and Amy Larkin met again, but she has married George Hil- Hard an enemy of Douglas. The latter grieves at the loss of his sweetheart, who had been compelled to marry Hilliard, a man she hated.

It is truer today than ever before that one man is no better than another unless he does more than another.
 When, recently, in the most learned medical review in London, the organ of the great English college of physicians and surgeons, it was proved by exhaus- tive statistics that, despite the drain upon the nerves and blood incident to the modern. strenuous life-despite the Tact that diseases of the nervous system appear earlier and oftener among work Ing people than formerly, nevertheless, within the past five or six years the average life of Americans was materially longer than 1t was a decade ago-the edi- tors of the review pronounced it as their firm opinion that this undoubtedly result ed in no small degree from the discovery few years ago by an eminent American physician of a positive cure for diseases of the nervous system, which had prompt iy been put within the reach of the public in that country. and was being used

 We are cutting 20 per cent of the amount of slaves this year that we have been cutting in the past years" said Mir. J. c. Ritchie of Camden, Ark, who is registered at the Denechaud. 50 far as my part of Arkansas is concerned the stave timber is quite used up. There will be no more slaves cut along the Ouachita where so many have been cut during the past dozen years. While I am not in position to speak positively l do not believe there is any great quan- tity of slave timber left anywhere in Arkansas"
 A number of stave men have recently come into New Orleans from other re- gions where slaves have formerly been stave timber is becoming one of the very scarcest articles. and that 1t Is now a question of only a few years when 1t will longer be possible to export slaves from this country to Europe as has been done so extensively in the past New Orleans has all along been the largest stave export market in the Un- ited States.

 Mississippi has an election November for two State officers said MT. Wirt Adams. of Jackson. State Revenue Agent, yesterday at the Metropolitan. We elect a State Treasurer In place of the present incumbent. who has resigned, and a Sec retary of State in place of a deceased officer. There are two candidates for Treasurer, MT. c. w. Carlisle and MT. M. M. Evans. There are several candidates for the office of Secretary of State, among them J. W. Power, son of the deceased Secretary; A. H. George, son of the ex- United States Senator; H. M. Quin, MT Dial. of Meridian; and Mir. Q. o. Eckford. thik 1t doubtful if more than half of the vote of the State comes out at the election.
 "Financially. Mississippi was never in better condition than today. We have some thing like $700.0O0 in the treasury and are building fine new State capitol, to cost million of dollars. which will be completed without issuing any bonds. Our State did quite an unprecedented thing in paying for $4OO.OO0 worth of bonds at the expiration of a hve-year term, the earliest time when they could be taken up."

In the Black Tail mine work is still
confined to prosecuting for the vein
east of the fault, on the main tunnel
level
The Chico is improving steadily. The
north drift is being extended along the
footwall of the ledge, the roof of the
drift cutting the under side of the
ledge.
1t is reported that the No. 1 Consoli-
dated mine is to be reopened by con-
tinuing the lower tunnel 100 feet, in
which distance it is expected to strike
the vein.
The shaft on the Mountain Lion was
down SO feet below the 425 foot level
yesterday morning. Work is progress
ing quite rapidly, when the site of the
shaft is considered.
At the Ben Hur shalt the water is
being raised to the surface from nine
feet about the 230 foot level. Superin-
tendent George Miller stated that as
soon as the water is out he will begin
stopping out ore for shipment from the
level mentioned.
At the Quilp Superintendent Crum-
mer says that three wagon loads or
about seven tons, of ore went out to
Grand Forks by team last Saturday,
making the monthly total between 60
and rs tons. There are over 20 men
employed in and about the mine at
present.
George L. Hedges, superintendent of
the Wauconda mine, states that rapid
progress is being made on the big tun-
mel. 1t is in $50 feet and progress is
made of from five to six feet each "a
hours. The ledge will not be explored
until after the tunnel is completed, as
the company desires to push the tunnel
forward as rapidly as possible.
In the San Poll mine two men are
running the north drift on the No. 2
tunnel level. 1t is now in little over
300 feet and has only 100 feet farther
to run to the north end line. The ore
in this drift has been much broken up
and bunchy. 1t lately passed through
20 or 80 feet of low grade pay shoot
not such ore as would pay to ship just
now.

that a big strike has been made on the
Brooklyn claim, and that large ore
body has been encountered on the

Stemwinder was encountered on the
2OO-foot level and is reported to give
promise of making the best on the
claim.
On the Green Mountain at Rossland
the diamond drill has been kept stead
lily at work for the past month and Dor
ings have been made IN different direc-
lions. On the 500 foot level one boring
is in $50 feet and at the end ore of a
pay grade was encountered. The ore is
eopper-gold and similar in many res
poets to that of the larger mines of the
camp. The management regards the
find as an important one.
The new Goldfields syndicate of Lon
don. England, has taken bond on two
groups of claims near the Sullivan

ion is that the new company will com.
