Applies to all Hotels .

A new law just passed by the legisla-
ture provides that ''every bedroom or
sleeping apartment fronting on a street,
alley, yard or other vacant ground, on
any other than the ground floor, of any
hotel, inn or public lodging house, shall
be supplied with, and there shall be kept
at all times, in plain sight and securely
attached therein, hempen rope of not
less than one-half inch in diameter of
sufficient length to reach to the ground
outside, of sufficient strength to sustain
a weight of at least five hundred pounds"
These ropes are presumed to be used
as fire escapes, and not as means by
which one may Jump his board BILL or
that boarders may commit suicide.

A Desperate Plunge.

Pete Anderson, brother of our ex as
isemblyman Nick Anderson, of Albion,
made deliberate but unsuccessful at
tempt Monday noon to end his life by
drowning. A few minutes before
o'clock pedestrians on and near the Main
street bridge were Mortified at seeing a
man climb to the top of the railing on
the south side of the bridge and let him
self fall into the water below. Those
who had witnessed the strange act hur-
ried to the bridge in time to see the man
rise to the surfrce where he lay without
stirring or making any cutlery, the cur
rent which here is pretty swift, carrying
him rapidly down the river At times
he was entirely immersed but he made
no effort whatever to make use of the
pieces of lumber and long poles which
along and even took a few swimming
his path. Had he wished he could, no
doubt, have reached either shore with
very little effort. No boat was at hand
at first but Frank Atkinson and Ross
Hyland succeeded in getting one out
from a boathouse and started out to
rescue the poor fellow who by this time,
was already abreast of the armory. He
had apparently finally changed his mind
as to drowning and was being buoyed
up by piece of sidewalk which he re-
luctantly relinquished when the boys
overlook him and towed him to shore.
Willing hands assisted him to the fur
mace room in the basement of the Hy-
land block where he procured change
of clothing and remained until he was
tolerably we'll recovered from his chilly
experience. His brother, Nick, who was
notified by messenger, arrived here at
about o'clock and took Pete with him
out to the old home near Albion
Stoughton Hub.

The German Band.

The Edgerton German Band is COM
posed principally of very young players,
and Professor Pieper, the instructor, says
that the band will be ready to play on
Decoration Day. The success of the
band lies in the fact that they have had
the right man for an instructor and they
have promptly attended rehearsals and
entered into the work with a willingness
to learn. Otto Siewert is manager of
the band and there is every reason to
believe that it will succeed.

The Monument Contract Let.

The Rock county soldiers monument
committee met at the county clerks
office Tuesday afternoon and opened the
bids submitted for the erection of the
shaft according to the plans and specif-
cations adopted some time ago. There
were eight bidders in the field and the
contract was awarded to A. S. jackson,
of Beloit his bid being 49, 25, and the
lowest one in which all the requirements
were complied with. George Ell. Mitchell
of Chicago, had the lowest bid in, $1,000,
but it not being accompanied by GER
titled check, it was not considered.

are several life sized portraits, ful
 figures of Our Saviour and tte Virgin
 Mary, which however are very poorly
 executed; but there are life sized
 bust portraits of the twelve apostles,
 painted in Spain, two hundred or
 three hundred yerrs ago, which are 1 finely executed and would doubtless
 be of value anywhere in the world.
 The other church Is small structure
 with d lofty tower, built fifty years
 ago at cost Of thirty thousand dol
 lars, by the private munificence of a
 resident who had made fifty thousand dollars in mining transaction and so slgnaized his gratitude.
 In is in the Sierra Lista Blanca, overlooking the valley from the north and east that are located the tribu- tary mines upon the side next to the OpOsura river; and the mines which send their ores to Osterman's mill at El Cajon, are but a few leagues away across the other side of the range
 While these mines are new, having been discovered in 1894, there are traditions of a lost mine, taking it's name from that of the Sierra, which in the day of the early Jesuits is re- ported to have produced silver in great abundance. Many efforts have been made to discover the lost Lista Blanca mines, but without success. To those efforts, however, is doubt less due the discovery of those now being worked.
 The traveller approaching Batuc at night sees near the crest of a lofty mountain across the river three bright lights, that au first he is in- clined to think they may be stars in the Armament. But careful scrutiny dlscloses the line of the mountains appex, just above them. This mOun- talA is the northern prolougation of OhS DtSiio Licbu DiauOd' duu VuC lights are at the openings of Dolores mine, four miles north from the town, the property of Mir. Ramon Varela. There is well defined two foot ledge, carrying 80 ounces per ton in silver The mine has been heretofore worked by "taJosn (open cuts b along the vein; but tunnel is now being run to cut the ledge and develop 1t at lower depths.
 In the range of the Sierra Lista Blanca are number of very produc- tive silver properties, owned by d syndicate of local business men, the most prominent of whom are Dario Calderon and Benito Molina, of the firm Of Calderon, Figueroa x Go. and A. A. Duarte of the firm of A. A. Duarte X Co. Associated with them in the ownership is Don Francisco c. Agular, prefect of the Ures district. Their mines are the San Francisco, El Porvenir, Santa and Potosi. They hold be- side number of promising prospects, their entire list of Announcements in- cluding twenty-two and ninety-one pertenencias of ground. In the juris- diction of Suaqui the same owners hold La Gloria, four pertenencias, wiGh four-foot ledge which yields ore that gives 100 ounces of silver and more per ton, in the mill.
 The San Francisco mine has three veins three feet in width each, the pres from which yield about eighty ounces, silver, per ton. at the mill. The mine is opened in several places oy shafts about 400 feet deep, and | there are three tunnels, one 400 feet ong, the second 800 feet, the third i 200 feet.

WAYSIDE NOTES.

blems are purely Masonic. There are dove Of peace above them, the flaming heart and pointed sword below, and upon each side the two traditional pillars of the craft. How those em- blems became displayed in a structure designed for the use of the church of Rome is puzzle to those who know the immemorial attitude of that church and Masonry toward one another.
 Beside these carvings above the principal entrances some Of the other openings had carved upon the key stone in the centers of their arch itraves antique looking initials, some of them being peculiarly combined in part. Over one the lettering was SBR N with the K and N united in monogram and o small and above the base iine of the other letters. Another had $ A : with the lat. ter and A united and the like wise small and above the base line of the others.
 But 1t was now approaching dark and we had several miles to ride to Batuc for supper, and we hurried along. We rode to the residence of MT. Abraham A. Duarte, one of the leading merchants of the place, who  entertained us with the utmost hos pitality. Upon the following morning the gentleman showed me over the town and gave me great deal of valuable information.
 Batuc is town of about 1900 popu. lation. and is on the lower part of the Oposura valley-about two leagues from SuaQui, which latter town is about the same distance above the junction Of the Oposura with the "a qni Here the valley has widened out giving several thousand acres of fine land, irrigated from water taken from the river, and yielding abundantly all the usual agricultural products of the region, including wheat beans, corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts The lat. ter are very productive crop, some 2000 fanegas thereof being annually produced.
 The valley and the mines support four small towns, viz, Suaqui de Ba tue, with population of about 1900; Tepupa, 800; Batuc, 1900; San Pedro, 1900.
 At Batuc is l5-stamp mill reducing ores from mines in the Lista Blanca mountains, which lie right across the river to the north and eastward. The process used is lixiviation, and about ten tons of ore daily are treated. The mill is the property of the firm of CalderOn. Figueroa & Co.,, who are also interested in some of the mining properties which supply the ores re. duced, Attached to this mill is fiouring mill with capacity of forty five barrels per day.
 Another il0ur mlll or the same cap acity, owned and operated by Aniceto Penuhiri, is located in Batuc.
 The town supports four general merchandise establishments, viz, A. A. Duarte & Co.,, Calderon, Figueroa & Co.,, A. Penuniri & Co.,, and Iguacio c. Navarro.
 Batuc boasts two churches. The principal one is large and imposing structure, built from the same kind | of rock as that in the big convent at Tepupa, and doubtless from the same quarry, which is said to be at least thirty miles distant from either place. The editice is about 40xl0O feet, with an arched stone roof, the distance from the floor to the spring of the arch being about forty feet. The in-
