OF a man at S1inIoI.
Clinton, Jan. 15.-Dr. Paul Walter OF

by premature explosion in q Californ-
ia gold mine number of years ago.
One eye was completely destroyed by
the explosion and the coTnea OF the
other was so badly damaged that he
was only able to distinguish between
night and day. The cornea OF the Bel
gian hare was grated on the eye OF
Strickell and as far az appearances are
concerned, the operation was success
full, although it will be three weeks
before it will be known whether Or
not Strickell will be able to see. 1t
is said to be the first operation ever
performed to restore the entire cornea.
T'he hare from which the eye was
taken was strapped to board, to
which it's ears were nailed. IN order
TO insure success il was necessary to
remove the cornea from the rabbits
eye while it was alive and graft it as
quickly as possible to the eye Of the

kEANE'S FIRM STAND.
Archbishop Goes Into nubuqce City
Politics.

Dubuque, Jan. 16. - Archbishop
Keane has promulgated a platform
upon which he will stand for the ccrn-
ing city election, the archbishop de-
nouncing, the present administration
and declaring that Racchus and Venus
now reign here. The archbishop's
platform contains five planks as fol-
lows:
F'irst-Saloons closed on Sunday;
no back doors.
Second Saloons closed every night
at 10 o'clock.
Third---No selling of liquors to per-
sons under Fl years Of age.
'Fourth--No selling of liquors to per-
sons that are known to be drunkards
or that may become drunkards.
F'ifth-The aboslute adjustment OF
the wine room.
The archbishop stated that he did
not desire to appear in the role OF
dictator, nor did he wish to work
hardship against any saloonkeeper,
but in the same breath he declared
that the saloons Of Dubuque are being
conducted with unbridled license and
that check would have to be put on
them In word, he is in favor OF en-
forcing the mulct. but is more con-
cerned about the adoption OF the five
planks mentioned above than he is
about the presence Of curtains on sa-
loon windows and the customary sa-
loon lunch.
The archbishop is now looking about
for some level headed man that will
be available for the Office of mayor.
He can be depended upon to put his
platform into effect-one that will not

A Till Tapper Pinched.

A young hobo tapped the till in Mike GhiOtto's store Monday evening, secur- ing about twenty dollars and gold ring. Mike was standing in front of his store at the time, and the young thief, after getting the money, called him in and made small purchase, leaving immediately afterward. Mike discov- cred the robbery in opening the drawer to deposit the money paid him by the boy, but had been a little slow in his movements, giving the thief time to get out of town on an east-bound train. He was overtaken, however, at Mohawk Summit by Marshal Meadows and brought back. We understand most of the money was recovered. The boy said he had hidden the ring, but failed to find it when he piloted the officers to its alleged hiding place.

Billy Macks Mines in Yuma County

The many friends of Billy Mack, an old pioneer of this section, will be pleased to learn that he is prospering. We print the following, regarding our old friend, taken from the Mohave County Miner.
 "William Mack, who owns 8 rich group of mines in Yuma county, few miles south of Aubrey, was in Kingman a few days ago after supplies. The group of mining claims are considered the richest in Yuma county and have been worked for years past with vary ing results. It is said that the main claim of the group has an ore body, in the face of the drift from the 19-foot level that measures eight feet in width, that gives an average of $600 gold and thirty per cent copper. Free gold can be seen sticking all through the rock. A five-stamp mill was erected on the property some years ago, but the great amount of copper carried in the ores makes the bullion very low. A smelter would be the proper thing for the working of these ores, and as there are other copper mines in that country, a large stack could be kept running right along"

To Rob Hassayampa River of its Golt

Three schemes are now on foot for the recovery of gold in the bed of the Hassayampa river. near Wickenburg, Arizona. Two of them are backed by Los Angeles capital.
 The Hassayampa river drains the Rich Hill and the Octave country, be- sides number of gulches which have yielded handsome returns with dry washers, and the gravel of the river bed is believed to be highly mineral ized. Apparently the only thing neces- sary to recover the gold is sufficient capital to reach the bedrock and handle the sand, gravel and water.
 One of the local consultations that is planning to undertake this work is the Hassayampa Gold Dredging Com pauy, corporation that was recently formed by Prescott and Los Angeles men. G. P. Drew of Phoenix is one of the heavy packers, and he is now in the east in the interest of the new project.
 MT. Drew and his associates have acquired about one thousand acres of the river bed in the Walnut Grove dis trict, where they intend to erect a Ris~ don dredge and operate the property in a systematic way. Similar dredges are being operated in Montana and in Cali fofnia with success and the company is confident that it will do the work in the new field
 B. O. Arnold of Los Angeles also ex- poets to get some gold from the Hassay- ampa this winter. He is making ar- engagements for the installing of cen trifugal pump to pump up the treasure laden sand from bedrock.
 The outcome of these undertakings will be watched with keen interest.
