A MINE WITH A HISTORY.

A rich mineral strike has just bee n male in the Four Peaks mountains !, sixty miles east Of Phoenix. by pros- pector "gruh-stsked" by Hi,Hooksr and miners declare that the iamous "Lost Dutchmsn mine has been re- discovered. The prospector found the -lchss concealed under . surface which i. said to be fairly glittering with mug gets, while the mstriK matter taken from the vein tesms in cslors. At lesst. say thoee who are familiar with mining Tn this region, the remarkable riches of the "Loet Dutchman" will be brought to the attention of the world and the men who have epsut thou sands of dollars in attempting to lo- cate this property will have ample time to nurse their disappointment for not having looked further for those riches which the supere,itiods Apsches have successfully guarded from white men for years, The cost Of tbe noted ledge is figured not only in dollars, but in human lives, says the Florence Blade.
 The mine just found shows evidence of having been worked years ago by white men. There is one S0-foot shaft and around the mouth is scattered rusty picks and she skulls of several human beings, which pbrenoiogists declare are the remains of white men ..

PROFITS IN lEGlT-
 MATE MINING
Conservative and Modern In-
 vestOrs Open Their Eyes
TO THE TRUE SITUATION.

In lseitimat. mining 25 per cent dividend is not copsidered startling, assert. the New York Herald, and the mining interests of the weet are will ing ts pay that interest for the u.e of money, for by the aid of cspItsl they open up tremendous ore bodies that lead 10 still greater fortunes. The sm ployment Of slO,OOO in mining is equivalent, to $i0,O0O in any other branch of industry. For years the wondrsu. profits of the metal indus tries have been whispered among in- vestor., who apparently were afraid to let their neighbors know they were identified with mining, but the recent efforts of the financial czars Of the world in forming combinations to con- tfol first the market of the miners through the smelting trust, and then the mines through the Amslgsmsted copper trust, have opened the eye. of the conservative and mo dern invest ors aud they are making efforts to ot- ,aiu their share Of the metallic wealth which nature has spread co layisbly. Nature has laid her treasures in the mountain recesses of the west, The American miner searches them out. Eastern money makes possible their conversion into bullion and the joint results Of the miner and the capital i.ts make possible the tremendous profits that signsIize successful min ;ng.

Dr A D Houghton of, Hshnemsnn Medical college, Chicago, has discov- cred means of bestowing artificial life, says the Rocky Mountain News. He has grown some crystals already, and this is important in view of the sslt ,rust. He has also invented light which looks like sour cream and makes the electric light and gas com psnies look like sour skim milk co If be wsnts to lay claim to the title of benefactor to the human race he can read his title clear. That is. he can fl h, stops now. IL he goes on it may be different. He says in five years he will be able to make s man by kind of compressed yeast process. He should read the story Of Frsnkensteip and pause before it ia too late.
 A. irst gap one is apt to think this automatic man might be good thing. It is possible that Dr Hough,on has hit upon a solution of tine hired EIrl trouble. and found way to end strikes. and make it co that the farmer can get his hsying done with ou. having his hands" quit to 20 to a Fourth of July celebration. A mau that didn't need anything but iittle oil in his hinges would be boon. a priceless bosn, to the trust nagnstes, and hired girl who was her own alarm clock would be warmly welcom- ed in many veil regulated families.

will 90 ia search of the sloop OF war
Condor, which sailed from Esqui-
malt December 2 for Honolulu, and
has not arrived there. The Phae.
ton will probably receive orders to-

Today the local customs officials
received instructions from the

ESeria, which was to have left the
drydock at Esquimslt yesterday,
was delayed by the storm, She
will come out OF the dock today.
She will begin cosling at once and
make all preparations for going to
sea, orders to that effect having
been received. 1t is expected that
she will sail before the end OF the
week to assist in the search for the
Condor. When the lost vessel was
up at New Westminster in October
last to be at the royal oity during
the exhibitiohs Captain Schlater
told a marine man that the con-
struction OF his vessel was not OF
the best, for with her high poop
deck and forecastle and her high
bulwarks and decks it would go
hard with her il one OF her larger
guns shonld break its lashings, as
did one OF the nine-pounders of the
