CURIOUS CHINESE COIN.


The finding of an ancient Chinese coin
country, according to the opinions of the
speculation in Buffalo, especially among
the geological students. It was discov cred
imbedded in the glacial clay at depth of
fifteen feet below the surface by work
men at the steel plant C. c. Conkling, the
chief engineer at the plant, took charge of
the coin, and he is authority for the
statement as to its location at the time
of discovery. Mr.. Conkling, although
not coin expert, appreciated the ex--
traordinary conditions under which the
copper piece was found and noted its
condition. One edge of the coin wa~
noticeably worn, and Mr.. Conkling says
this, no doubt is due to the action Of
water upon it.
The coin somewhat resembles the Chi
nese money of the present day so far as
the shape is concerned. It has the square
hole in the center, but the characters
upon 1T differ slightly from those of the
present chinese script. The. copper piece
was turned over to J. J. Albright some
months ago, and it is said Mr. Albright
intends to have its date learned, if pos
sible. Mr. Cenkling said that the coip
was found by laborers who were engaged
iri excavating a space for one of the fur
naces at the steel plant. There seems to
be some question as TO whether or not tile
coin was imbedded in the clay. The
workmen say it was, but there is a pos
sibility that it was buried in the soft
earth and fell into the excavation after
the glacial clay had been reached. How

"What-er-is it?"
Listen, SAID the Property Man. And
he swung the oblong piece back and
forth. Sounds just like rain, doesn't

the visitor acknowledged that it did.
You see," he explained, It's just two
pieces of boards covered with canvas and
fined with shot. The property Man
slowed the invention carefully away.
There are two more property rooms
above this one. Perhaps you would like
to see Them he suggested Hospitality.
The second property room was reached
by means of a narrow and very straight
up-and-down ladder. If the first looked
like an old curiosity shop the second
seemed, in Inc dim light that came from
solitary incandescent light a veritahle
chamber of horrors. From nail driven

iron cauldron that suggestede the three

and a big collection of drinks, daggers

from the high tragedy effect OF this

school, it should be mentioned that there
is a kindergarten department also with

Strange as it may seem, many of the
patients who hold the most persistent

GOOD NEWS FOR oRIENTAlISTS.
Highly Mineralized VeIn of Ore iu the Tunhel-visit of the Consulting
 Engineer.

The Jamestown. New York Even ing Journal, of Tuesday, February IS, gives the following concerning a Va vapai county property:
 A number of stockholders in the Oriental Mining company which has extensive and valuable claims and mines at Providence, Yavapai county, Arizona, met at the home of A. F. Kent at Jamestown Monday to greet H. E. Armitage of Prescott, Ariz., who spent the day as Mir. Rents guest. Included in the number were F. H. Rockwell and J. A. Rockwell of War ren (who leave soon for a visit to the property) and John McNair of Shef- field.
 It was happy circumstance that good news was received direct from the mine while Mir. Armitage, (who is mining engineer, an expert, and the consulting engineer of the company,) was in the city. The telegraphic message stated that in the face of the tunnel rich base ore in vein of good width had been opened. As this vein or ledge leads direct to the shaft which in the past has been proftably worked and as the tunnel is heading for the shaft, the significance of this strike can readily be appreciated aud the outlook is considered very en- couraging.
 MT. Armitage created highly fav- orable impression on those who met him for the first time, and confirmed the esteem in which he was held by those of longer acquaintance. An Englishman by birth, he has for many years lived in the states. His knowledge of mining has been gained both by technical education and by a large and varied experience in uumer- ous mining districts of the world. As an expert his services have been for years in demand in some of the lar gest properties in the country. In addition to his position as an author ity in mining matters he is cultured conversationalist and companion.
 MT. Armitage is a firm believer in the Oriental company's holdings. He knew them before the present owners acquired the property. Thus far he has been so conservative in his views and the development has so closely corresponded to his forecasts that his confidence in the mine is considered well founded, and is shared by the owners. During his visit to this city all questions connected with the property have been discussed. The work of development will continue with unabated vigor and with the well grounded assurance that the dividend paying stage of the enter prise is with in sight.

Wandering Agents Are Like Circus,
 Here Today and Gone Tomorrow.

When buying goods of any descrip- tion is it not wiser to purchase of your local dealer than from travelling vans or nonresident agents? Now for in- stance, when the latter sells you goods, what hold have you upon them to make good their guarantee7
 This is something to elicit your full consideration; especially so when purchasing piano. Any mushroom or sausage factory can procure var nish, wire, felt and material enough to throw together ''thump-box" and cali it a piano, but this is not the kind of goods you want; surely not the cheapest in the end to purchase. So bear in mind your local dealer can save you all the money that can be shaved off from the purchase of a good piano, and is always here to live up to the guarantee given with each piano.
 Call and be convinced of my talk.
