A Valuable Find.

Information received at Covelo, in Mendocino county, Cal, from Caspar, seacoast town and post, 35 miles away, gives the particulars of a val uable find of ambergris af1oat, discov- cred by lumber steamer on her re- turn from Skagway, Alaska. The name of the vessel is not given. A small lump of dirty, gray, greasy stuff was picked up by the crew six weeks ago after discharging cargo of lumber at an Alaskan port. The lump weighed about 75 pounds, and when taken on board was found to be pure ambergris, more valuable than gold and worth $27,275. Ambergris is supposed to be substance formed by a disease of the stomach or the gall duets of the sperm whale. It is elected by the animal and floats upon the water or is cast upon the shore and buried in the sand. It is used to fix valuable perfumes, and for that reason as we'll as for it's rarity and the difficulty of encountering it it's price ordinarily ranges from $370 to $400 a pound. Gold is worth about ten dollars an ounce and S256 a pound voirdupois.--Kansas Citr Call. -

friend Who lived only three doors away. Miss Porter, who had been awake hours of the night, had finally succeeded, as she believed, in reading Maidie to sleep, and then, stretching herself upon the bamboo couch across the room, was, the next thing she knew, aroused by voices.
 Sandy Ray had entered so noise 1essly that she had not heard, but Maidie had evidently been expecting him. In low, earnest tone he was telling the result of his search the right before. She heard the words:
 'fConnelly is down with some kind of fever in hospital and hasn't seen or heard anything of. anyone even faintly resembling Foster. Then l found your old friend, the brakeman. Gen. Vinton has got him good place ,n the quartermaster's departmenp, and he tells me he knows nothing, has seen and heard nothing. Now I'm going to division headquarters to find Stuyvesant."
 "And then," said Miss Porter, "my heart popped up into my throat and I sprang from the sofa!" But too late. An awful, rasping voice at the doorway sti1led the soft Kentucky tones and filled the room with dread.
 "Then you've no time to lose, young man. It's high time somebody besides me set out to help him. That other young man you call Foster lies dead at the police station killed by your pistol, Miss Ray, and Mir. Stuy- ,vesant goes to jail for it.'

on the reservation, who are neither
mechanics nor artisans, and who have
little or no money, announce their
intention of locating around Lawton,
if they fail to win a claim. Campers,
who came in prairie schooners by the
thousands, generally brought with
them provisions sufficient to last
from five to. 10 days. Continued
drought has caused the water to be
restricted, and for days a hot wind
has prevailed on the prairies, and the
temperature has averaged over the
100 mark. With those conditions
before them, many are already be-

followed by disappointment over
failure to draw lucky number, the
hope that bore many up will doubt

THREE-scREw CRUISERS.
Great steamins Radius Of Proposed New U S.
Warships

Washington, July 22.-The plans
now under consideration for the new
armored cruisers authorized by con-
gress contemplate such new depart
ure in steaming capacity that these
ships will be able to make voyages
exceeding any by the ships now in
commission and equaling, if not ex-
ceeding, the long distance trips of
any naval warship afoat. Although
the plans are not fully passed upon,
the main features are pretty well
worked out, They provide for a
combination of three screws, so separ-
ated that any one can work inde-
pendently. By using three screws
the ship could develop great speed
from % to % knots, SO that she
could be listed as % knot ship.
But all three screws would be used
only in case of emergency. For the
purpose of making long voyages only
one screw would be used at time
1t is estimated that this would give
speed of 10 knots an hour. By al
ternating the screws, the craft could
make voyage of at least 10, 600 miles
without stop to recoal,. and at the
same time she would always have her
three screws in readiness to develop
% or % knot speed in case of ne
cessity

In the face of this change in the
situation the strikers are by no means
discouraged. In an official statement
issued this afternoon it is declared
that in the upper anthracite region
there is greater number of mines
idle than yesterday. The statement
says:
In compliance with the order OF
the United Mineworkers of America

complete organization of the entire

the men are fast organizing and will
respond to the call to man.
