Of the statements. He declined to give

The dispatch referred to tho official au-

Southern Pacific made every possible effort

UTAH VOLCANO
Explosions Heard for Miles -S@eke. Dust and Lava Have lssued frsm Crater
 tsrthsuskes ia Several Counties.

According to Dr. D. A. Turner of Milford, Utah, an old volcano, form ing part of the Wasatch range in Southern Utah, between Beaver and Piute counties, which apparently has been extinct for centuries, has broken out afresh. Explosions, apparently eminating from the crater, have been heard for miles around, while at times columns of smoke and dust have arisen from the volcano and new lava for nations, still very hot, have been found on the sides of the mountain.
 "There have been number of slight earthquakes in that vicinity, recent ly," said Dr. Turner, "and we have heard explosions for distance of thirty miles from the crater. Not long ago I ascended one of these volcanoes and found small quantityOf lava that apparently had recently overfowed from the crater, for it was still very hot. Several times of late, smoke and dust in considerable quantities have been arising from the crater. Yester- days earthquake, which was quite se- were in that locality, was fresh evil dence of renewed volcanic activity in the Wasatch range"

The companies could not agree on a common scheme of drainage, plants burned, silver fell and the rich mines deserted.

Heavy eating is usually the first cause of indigestion. Repeated at- tacks infiame the mucous membranes lining the stomach, exposes the nerves of the stomach, producing swelling after eating, heartburn, headache, sour rising after eating and finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves the inflammation, protects the nerves and cures the catarrh. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach troubles by cleansing and sweetening the glands of the stomach. w. H.

The Be.. Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighbOrhood. One of the most terri ble things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a re- volver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern mothers say that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to 'throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Pioneer Drug Store.

The Tombstewe Mines.

The start of actual pumping in the enterprise of unwatering and reopen ing the great mines of the Tombstone district in Arizona is the mining event of large importance in Arizona and the Southwest during the current month, says the Pacific Miner. It marks the beginning of a second great era for one of the greatest mining dis tricts in the land. The Tombstone Consolidated Mines company, which has acquired most of the mines in the district and which is making one big mining proposition of the group, has its great power plant installed and pumps placed and has begun the work of unwatering, which will quickly en- able development to proceed at depth.
 On the 6OO-level of the Contention is Prescott pump designed to pump de- signed to lifta l5-inch column of water to the surface at the rate of 17O0 gal Ions per minute. Duplex 6-inch sink ing pumps have also been installed further below. The company is ex- pending about 8, 300, 900 in the great enterpriseiofreOpening, deepening and equipping these old mines, and in a few months Tombstone will be the scene of one of the greatest productive mining enterprises in the United States.

 est Reserve.
 l am advised by the Department that loo, ,OOO head of sheep will be al- lowed to graze on the Black Mesa For est reserve during the season of 1903, from April 1st to December 1st., dis tributed upon the different sheep rang es as follows:
 Range No. 1, 5000 head.
 Range No. 2, 10000 head.
 Range No. 3, 5000 head.
 Range No. 4, 10000 head.
 The closed areas where sheep are not allowed to graze in 1903 will be the same as during the season 1902. A number of permits were revoked last year for trespassing on the ex- cluded areas and from coming on the reserve with more sheep than allowed in permits, and are denied permits for the coming season.
 Thirty thousand head of cattle and horses will be grazed on the Black Mesa reserve during the next year. Applications will be reserved for sheep, cattle and horse grazing from this date.
 Sheep grazing applications cannot be actedupon untilthey are all in and they should be made just as soon as possi- ble, to avoid conflict in range and in numbers. The number allowed in this reserve last year was l5O, 900; this year it is loo, 900, and it is expected that ap- plications will be made with this re- duction in view. Blank applications will be forwarded those desiring them on application. Applicant should state whether sheep or cattle and horse ap- plication is wanted.

IN THE DOMAIN OF WOMAN.


stroke Of the painters brush could only
be initiated by as many careful stitches as
that brush contained hairs.
Surrounding all difficulties, however, by
sheer pluck, she at last considered her
work worthy of public exhibition, and sent
to the Chicago exposition a magnificent set
Of sixty pieces, embroidered with a design
Of butterfly orchids, which was shown by
the consent Of Nine. Patti, for whom it
was worked. At once Mrs. Giichrist liter
ally awoke to find herself famous. The
silk Initiating the actual texture Of the
flower was even better than the brush.
When II was decided to send over a case
Of American needlework to the recent Paris
exposition Mrs. Gilchrist was asked to con-
tribute a piece. She selected an arrange
ment Of pansies hanging loosely over a rib
bon, from a painting by a French artist.
using, however. the natural flowers to work
from. The committee on awards unani-
mously gave her the gold medal over all
other competitors for. beauty and natural
ness of color and design.
The exquisite beauty of this panel at
tracted the attention of Queen Alexandra,
who has all a woman's fondness for en-
broidery, and when Mrs. Gilchrist, who had
previously vainly tried to get some Of her
work accepted by Queen Victoria, wrote
with little hope of success to Queen Alex
andra's private secretary, Lady Knolly, she
was surprised and delighted to receive a
courteous acceptance from her lowing to
the unusual circumstances"
Mrs. Gilchrist decided on an adaptation
OF the design used for the Paris exposition
worked on a tea set as her gift to the
queen. In making the designs for this set
Mrs. Gilchrist first made a careful water
color drawing direct from nature. From
this the working design was outlined, free
hand, with ordinary pen and ink directly
upon the cloth. Commencing at the outer
edge Of each petal every leaf was worked
toward the center. Every few stitches the
needle was reflled with silk a shade darker
or lighter, as the case might be, from the
skein arranged in exact color gradations
in front of her. From this description II
will be seen that Mrs. Gilchrist's method
of art needlework differs from that Of the
painter only in a technical way. Every
little shadow on the flower is faithfully re-
produced, and there are thousands of tiny
stitches in each pansy.
The exceeding neatness and care by
which the soft, smooth, velvety texture is
achieved may be best illustrated by the
fact that 1t is very dificult to distinguish
one side from the other. No knots or loose
ends are flowed to show.
Lately Mrs. Gilchrist has turned her at
t~ention toward the popular beadwork and
has achieved great success in applying the

Worthy Of special mention are the black

that Is entirely new this season.
Galatea, linen, hopsacking, canvas or

skirts but the majority Just escape the
ground and are stitched or finished with
bands In exactly the same style as the
cloth pedestrian skirts.
In preference to tAffeta, which does not
wear very we'll, many OF the most beau
tful SILK waists are made of peau de sole
and peau de crepe. They are tucked and
plated, often inserted with motifs and
squares of white, black OF ecru lace. The
silk Is cut away beneath these applica-
lions so the lining Of contrasting color
will show through. ~
Some of the shirt waists are made with
broad Gibson plaits IN the shoulders and
quite fancy sleeves. They have beautiful
pearl buttons on the fronts and sleeves.
Others carry out the shirt waist plans

front, French back and bishop sleeves
