ROUND ABOUT CLIFTON
Development Work, Prospective Deals
 and Other Mining News.

Tim Nardelli reports that his bo- nauza near Metcalf is opening up in grand shape. He is taking out plenty of ore that will average rom 30 to 40 per cent.
 Neil Munro visited his mining prop erty Sunday last and says d consider able amount of rich ore has been un- covered since his last visit. He expects the California people with whom he is on a deal to arrive in few days and take over the property
 John Molder, superintendent of the Home Copper company, was in town yesterday. He is having d prospectus printed for the company preparatory to offering another block of stock to the public. The development work is pro Sressing rapidly, and new bodies of ore are being cut into every few days.
 The following from the Lordsburg Liberal is interesting news to miners in this section, who have ores for mar ket: Work is progressing on the smelter and it is fast assuming pro portions. The company is receiving many inquiries from various parts Of the country regarding the time it will start up, and the prices it will pay for ores. The indications are it will have plenty of business as soon as it gets ready to blow in.
 Joe Tanner, president of the Santa Rosa Copper company, has been doing land office business for the past few sweeks in the sale of Santa Rosa shares, his sales averaging one thousand shares per week, and nearly all of them have been taken by residents of Cliff ton and Morenci. The development work at the mines is progressing most satisfactorily, and MT. Tanner expects to soon be shipping high grade ore.
 Two of the rich streaks of ore in the Standard mines have widened out to three and a half and four feet. The ore now being taken out will average between 45 and 60 per cent. Several carloads of ore of this grade have been taken out, and regular shipments will soon becommenced. Mir. C. A. Ross. one of the principal owners. who rived recently from London. is delight ed with the remarkable showing now made in the company's property.
 Los Angeles. spent a few days here during the past week, and took an op- tion on a group of claims in the Green lee district. MT. Tonl<in was greatly surprised at the remarka ble showing oc that section. He says that if the ground was located in California, min ing men would be falling over each other to get hold of the property. MT. Tonhin will return in few weeks to take up his option and commence work on the property.-Copper Era.

Roanoke" which comes to the Dor ris theater Monday evening, November IS, presents in Q dramatic form a beau tiful life picture with every character true to nature. The play somewhat re- sembles "On the Suwanee River in dramatic construction. but is entirely original. having been written prior to that favorite play. The company rep resenting it is composed of ladies and gentlemen engaged expressly for their fitness for the part they will enact. The play is not a somber one, but has a bright, piquant comedy vein running throughout, while the heart interest is sufficient to enhance the interest and hold the audience spellbound through out the action of the play.
 Mir. Reid has contributed many plays to the American stage that will live. because he selects for his plays sub jects that are pure and wholesome. Roanoke is a sweet play Of southern life The atmosphere is maintained to such an extent that one can imagine himself back in old Dixie, mid the cot ton fields and corn
 Roanoke" is, in fact, q magnificent series of beautiful pictures. The action of the play is smooth and clean cut. It is a paly that a father may take his entire family to see.

A. McCola is in the city again from his mining properties twelve miles north of Morristown and he is more than jubilant over his prospects for wealth. He thinks he now has the big Gest thing in sight that was ever found out of doors.

A PuZZlinG Case.

The French courts were puzzled some time ago by the case of man who lost a bank note under remark able circumstances. Dining on the terrace of Narbonne restaurant, he let the bank note fall into his soup. He laid the note on the table to dry, and a gust of wind carried it away. A passing dog swallowed it, and the gen. tleman detained the animal, whose col lar happened to bear his masters name. The owner of the note sued the owner of the dog for hundred francs, the value of the note. There was much legal hair splitting, but at length the court arrived at decision which sur- prised most people, ordering the owner of the dog to refund the hundred francs.-San Francisco Argonaut.

Some "Reminiscences of the Old=Time Billiard Players

iy interested in trying to effect a match between Deery and Foster. ''Goldie" in the abstract was a little better at fourbal1 caroms than was Kavanagh, but the latter was the bet ter stayer and had more nerve in a close match. Goldthwait saw Neil and Kavanagh and began to talk ''big" about $20, ,OOO match.
 Bryant disliked to hear so much bragging, and he wanted to back Kav- anagh. But he had only $1,5o0 with him besides small sum for expenses about $500. Placing the whole roll on the ta ble as forfeit to be lost if he did not raise the required ,5oo before the next day, Bryant thought he had made the necessary arrangement for the match. But "Go1die" whimpered about stalking the whole sum of $1o,- 900, and Bryant became nettled. He insisted upon the stakeholder taking the money. Jim Meade, a well-known

own against him at three-bau caroms, on a pocket table, whether four or six"
 What revolution in the game might have been wrought had this genius of the worries hit upon the scheme of abol- ishing the pockets altogether and sub- Stituting the bAlk-line for a plan to make the play harder for the experts! But the influence of the Frenchmen on the game as played in the United States resulted in the gradual doing away with the pockets and the substitution of the three-bal game without ob- structions. When the carom table came widely into fashion, Neil quit a style of play that denied full expres- sion to his trained judgment, his man Iual dexterity and mental endurance.
 The man is still living into whose hands Neil Bryant once put the largest half-stake billiards has ever known. Kavanagh had recently beaten Gold thwait, for the second or third time. Goldthwait was in Washington, where were Bryant, Kayanagh and score or more of big politicians who were deep-

theatrical manager, happened along, discovered that Bryant was "shy' a few thousands, and stepping behind the packer of billiardists, he slipped into Bryant's hand roll of $11, 500. ssBet him, Neil, don't let him get away" said Meade.
 With smile of triumph Bryant hand ed over the amount required to make the half stake, and the stakeholder had $1o,OOO in his hands. But "Goldie'' did not come up with his money, and the incident is still discussed as the most remarkable in American billiard his tory.
 While on the subject of old-time bill lizards, it might be of interest to those swhos have followed the game for years to know that Glenn E. Ellison, the old est playing amateur of note at the 18- inch ballkline game, and a figure in the billiard world for over a quarter of century, has decided that he will never appear again in public tournament. Glenn holds the amateur championship of. Illinois and has beaten such long list of players that it would require many times this space to recount his
 
 on the game. All the playing he did, he says, was for his own personal en- joyment, because he loved the sport, and would rather master some diff cult shot than go to a meal. All known amateur records were shat tered recently in a tournament-the last Ellison played in, when he made high run of 147 at balk line and aver aged 27 79 in a 25o-point game, M That average is the best I ever made, guess, in 250-point game" said Glenn. ''Some critics are calling me professional now that have con nected myself with billiard supply house. But I never put up entrance money in a tourney and took a money prize, as did one of the men who criti- cised my amateur standing. Will any thing ever be introduced to make the game harder than the 18-inch balk line? guess not. That style of game is difficult enough for all time. Where the 1s-inch balk line experts will come from when Schaefer, Slosson, Sutton and a few others quit the game, I can not see. As a matter of fact nine out of ten who are now playing 18-inch balk line have no business to attempt it. They should play the rail until they have mastered nursing. Without the knowledge of correctness in nursing, the game of 18-inch balk line is a riddle. You may talk all you wish about the skill of the old-time players, but I do not believe 1t was $ great as that of the present asters of balk line"

Cure for Curtain Lectures.

At stag party recently given in Kansas City, pretty and polite custom was introduced. There were just 40 guests, and every one had a wife at home. Each on his departure (about two o'clock in the morning) received hndsome caszet of sweets to take tc his waiting partner and family The outside box was of satinwood, costing eight dollars, and made pleasant memento of the oc- casion. It is safe to say there were no curtain lectures in 40 homes that night.

Transportation in the Philippines.

Manila Letter in Leslie's Weekly.
That the troops hold the centre of the
valley through which the railroad runs,
and also some points in the east and west,
as well as frinees of the coast territory, is
true, but that the rebels are conquered, or
even brought to terms, or that that the
territory now occupied has been rendered
tenable to its remotest corners by our
troops during the rainy season, Is certainly
not the case. At conservative estimate
there are still 10000 insurgent rifles to
be accounted for in Luzon alone. One of
the vital points, which has been entirely
neglected until quite recently, and is now
but tentatively taken in hand, is that of
rendering the roads passable and building
the bridges which are necessary now, and
which will be ten times more necessary the
moment the rainy season starts. We can
but look forward to the repetition of those
terrible circumstances which accompanied
the bringing up of General Lawton' s sup
plies in his famous march from San lsidro
These are hardly known to the people of
the United States yet. The roads were
but canals of bottomless mud. The wheels
sank till the carts foated on their fiat bot
toms. and the carabaos or bulls had to be
hauled out by ropes Men weary and half
fed worked from dawn till midnight, thir
ty to forty on ropes, pulling the carts out
of the mud. The bulls died, and some
times the men alone had to take the cart
or abandon it by the way.
Unimpeded by wheels, able to pick their
way through brush and forest, pack mules
can find support for their feet where vehicles
could not 90. The lesson is obvious, but
it has been entirely disregarded, and in
stead of having an army equipped with
pack ponies or mules we are daily drawing
nearer the rainy season and are not much
better of-in the way of field Transports
ton for supplies-than we were during the
last rainy season. That the insurrectlon
is not over, that there are armed bands OF
sufficient force to unite and besiege our
outlying positions the moment the rainy
season renders prompt relief impossible is
beyond dispute The army is conscious of
this fact, but the authorities are slow In
understanding it, and have not yet formed
an engineer corps suitable to carry out the
necessary repairs of roads and the construc
ton of bridges. | learned only short
time ago that this army of 1000 men,
in country where the work of engineers
is of vital Importance, has little over two
companies of engineers After being a
year in the country this state of affairs
seems incredible.

MASKING Potatoes.
From the New York Tribune.


There are very few housekeepers who
do not believe they know how to mash
potatoes, and would not scorn a rule on so
simple matter, yet the fact remains that
about one cook in so puts this dish on the
table as it should be put. In the first
place, the potatoes should be properly
boiled. Each one should be dry and
mealy. You cannot conceal the defects of
watery, overlooked potato by mashing
Treated in this way, it will be heavy and
favolles<. Only when the potatoes are
mealy can they be successfully mashed
Do not add milk, butter cr salt until they
are mashed After the potatoes are
drained and dry, mash them perfectly free
from Jumps with strong wooden beetle
or masher in the iron pot they were boiled
in. Push them one side, and put some
milk in the same kettle, and when it boils,
stir it in the mashed potatoes. Use half
cup of milk to II potatoes Beat the
potatoes and boiled milk together with a
strong spoon, add heaped tablespoonful
of butter and an even one of salt, and beat
the mass with spoon until the butter is
melted. Do all this work in the iron
potato kettle in which the potatoes were
boiled 1t is not necessary to take out
any dishes or any utensils except the
''beetle' to mash potatoes. 1t ought not
to take over five minutes to dry, mash and
whip up with spoon IL potatoes for din
ner. The potato beetle is all the extra
article to be washed 1t is true that it is
possible to consume considerably more time
in this work and make use of several extra
dishes in preparing mashed potatoes with
out improving the dish. In fact, moving
the potatoes from one dish to another in
order to mash them only ehills them. Do
all the work, therefore, in one dish, and
as rapidly as possible.
Heap the potatoes in vegetable dish
when they are ready to serve, and if they
must wait few moments before they are
put on the table set them in the oven,
though it is no improvement to do so. Pile
mashed potatoes roughly and lightly in the
dish they are served in. Do not smooth
them down; it makes them heavy, and a
mashed potato should be light and feathery
in texture. Sometimes the whites of two
eggs beaten to stiff froth are whipped
into II mashed potatoes prepared with
boiled milk, butter and salt as given. 1t
is no advantage, however, to add pepper.
Let any person add pepper at the table ii
he likes The majority of people probably
will not care for it.
1t is not an improvement to add the
yolks of eggs to mashed potatoes. 1t only
gives them an egg taste, nor is it an i'm
provement to brown them in the oven. 1t
makes them watery The only treatment
allowable is to brown the top with red hot
shovel so quickly that the potato beneath
the surface is not cooked any more.

Baby Born with Needle in Stomach.

A needle was found by Roentgen rays
on Saturday evening in the stomach of
Mary Lang, 18th months old, who has
cried almost all the time since her birth
and shown indications of pain in the stom-
ach. She was taken to St James Hospi-
tai in Newark, N. j., from her home at
123 Adams street, and the hospital physi
clans sent her to Dr. Frank Devlin, who
has Roentgen ray apparatus. He dis
covered dark line, and by careful manip-
ulation of the flesh brought needle to the
surface and extracted it with tweezers
without making an incision. He was of
the opinion that the needle was in the
child before the birth and cited similar
case of the Dolan baby of Plainfeld, N.
j., from whose stomach needle was ex-
tracted few days ago. The needle taken
from the Lang baby was blackened, bat
intact

Refrigerating Process in Pig Iron
Manufacture.

Preparations are being made by the
United States Steel Corporation for the
erection of refrigerating plant at the Lucy
furnaces of the Carnegie Company, Pa,
which will probable figure largely in revo
lutionary reductions in the cost of making
pig iron The plant, an experimental one,
will cost in the neighborhood of 800, 900.
The idea is to deprive the air of large
percentage of its moisture by precipitation
before the blast is sent into the furnace.
Blast furnace owners have found that in
winter, when the air is cold dry and crisp,
they can make pig iron more cheaply than
in summer, when the air is filled with
moisture The experiment will be watched
with interest by all blast furnace men.
