Salt Lake Shelters.

The reports from the smelters OF
this valley last week was a most
gratifying one. An output of 1872, 500
pounds of bullion carrying gold, sill
yer and copper, was the record, hav-
ing value of over $250,0O The
labor employed at the smelling com
prises $500 men, and the prospect is
for substantial increase in smelling
capacity, as well as of men employed,
since the product of the mines is
crowding the smelter capacity, and
the demand is for more facilities con-
stantly for the reduction of ores The
mines more than respond to the
great development of the shelters,
and constantly call for yet more. -

The Oregon Miner says: "This is
the time of year when the old pros
pector, Ike everyone else, lays aside
for a time his desire to find the pot of
gold at the foot of the rainbow, and
gives himself up to the enjoyment of
life We who are pursuing other
vocations are liable to overlook this
hardy class who have been the real
pioneers of the great west, and, as it
were, with an iron hand have broken
down the barriers that the delicate
sandals of civilization might follow.
To the old prospector every hill is
studded with mines like jewels in a
crown. Henever gives up his search
until he is made aware it is time for
him to cross the great divide for the
last time.

and twelve miles frun the former
place. J 6 fcslcr made the first
locatian In that neighborhocd, two
wears ago. since which time about
two hundred claims have been siaked
out. At present twenty men are at
work, nearly all on their own loca-
tons. The only company thus far
interested is the Hector Mining Com
pany, Of which Messrs Hill and Bar
low, of Bakersfield, are principal
owners, and which is capitalized for
$500, 900.
Jas. r. Clark is the owner of four
groups, comprising some thirty
claims, and known as the Chloride,
Dividend, Summit and Sunday groups.
Mr.. Clark is from Salt Lake and has
enlisted the attention of Jacob BAN
berger, Judge Dixon, Keith and
other moneyed men of that city.
The probability is that ere long the
property he controls, or some of it
at least, will be transferred to a
company in which these parties will
be interested, In the Dividend,
there is a lO-foot ledge, traceable for
l, 300 feet, and carrying from 81 to AZ
feet of ore running in the neighbor-
hood of $40 in gold. The Chloride is
a silver proposition.
The deepest working so far is in
ground owned by the Hector Com
pany, where a shaft has been sunk
fifty feet. The ledge, starting with
a width of two feet and varying as
it goes down, shows at that depth a
width of "a feet and about the same
values as on the surface,
The mines are at an elevation OF
over 1000 feet, and wood, water
and grass" are scarce. The idea Of
those interested is that cleo trio
power will be used for working, such
power being easily obtained at low
cost. Some assays have been OBJ
tanned running as high as $500 in
colo; these are, as is usually the
case with phenomenal assays, from
selected specimens A fair estimate
of much of the ore places its value
at $l5 to $50. The quantity is large
enough, apparently, to make the
future of the new camp hopeful in.

claims west Of the great openings on
the Mizpah, and adjoins the Golden
Anchor, which is being developed by
British Columbia mining capital. The
Little Tonopah properties, capital
!zed by local and San Francisco OPP
ertors, lie on the west and north
west. But what is more to the point
ractically, there is on the Cash Bay
a distinct outcrop of ledge Gaping
very similar to that of the Mizpah,
the strike of which is east and west
and bears direct to the claims named
With good reason therefor, the
men managing the Cash Boy prop
erty are thoroughly confident of the
successful development of mine.
And they are representative Nevada

son, is ex-attorney general of the
state and one of its leading lawyers
The vice president, L. A. Blakeslee,

will be remembered that Jos. Ryan,
the CONS took superintendent, ex-
Congressman Mcguire and DR.. Gin
ton of California are large owners
in the Cash Boy. Until the prop
erty becomes paying one, all these
officers will serve without compen-
sation. The company has no other
obligations to meet than the operat-
ing expense of development, to which
purpose will be applied the proceeds
of the sale of sufficient treasury
stock at not less than 25c per share.
The Tonopah Cash Boy mining COM
pany is well organized under the in
corporation laws of Arizona, with a
capital stock of 500, 900 shares at the
par value of 81, fully paid up and
positively non assessable. No other
stock than that which may from time
to time be offered out of the treas

of which, 10000 shares, has been
placed on the market at % cents.
We learn that the directors have de-
cided to advance the price of the next

The Eureka Sentinel learns that
the owners of number of the large
bands OF sheep wintering in the Sand
Springs country about 100 miles
south of Eureka and 40 miles south
west of Duckwater, Nye county, have
been losing quite a numbero sheep.
These fiocks came from the north and
many bands were in storms. More
snow fell in Sand Springs than has
been known for years, and the ex-
IRENE cold weather and lack of feed
were the causes of the losses.

Shenandoah functions Narrow Escape.

That Shenandoah Junction was not
blown up by dynamite last Thursday
night is regarded as almost miracle.
A B. & O box car loaded with the
explosive was shattered in wreck
and boxes of dynamite were tossed IN
every direction, but, strange to say,
not a stick exploded. 1t was shortly
before midnight when an n. & W.
freight from Hagerstown, in charge OF
Conductor Murray, reached Shenan-
doah Junction, and the crew proceed
ed to deliver number Of cars to the
B < O. On one of the sidings there
was lying B & 0. freight train wait,
Ing tor orders. 1t is said there was
no hsgman on duty and in the dark
the train was not noticed by the n. q
w. crew. When the n. & w. cars
went in on the siding they crashed
into the B. & O. train. The box car
loaded with dynamite and two other
cars were badly wrecked. 1t was not
until some time afterward that the
trainmen realized what a narrow es-
cape they made. Had the dynamite
exploded there is no estimating the
damage that would have been done to
life and property, but it is likely
Shenandoah Junction would have been
scattered over the county.

A Woman Horribly Burned.

Mrs. Charles b. Delaney, wife of
Chesapeake and Ohio canal boatman.
Sharpsburg, was frightfully burned
last Sunday afternoon between 4 and
5 o'clock in attempting to start her
kitchen fire with coal Gil. When Mrs.
Delaney started to prepare the even
ing meal, she found the fire was out,
or at least had every appearance Of
being out. After putting several
sticks of wood and some coal in the
stove she proceeded to saturate them
with coal oil from a half-gallon can.
Instantly almost the flames shot up to
the ceiling and the can Of oil explod-
ed, scattering burning oil all over her
clothing. In less time than it takes
to relate, Mrs Delaney was envel-
oped in fire from head to foot. She
ran out into the street, where her
frantic screams attracted the atten-
ton of Luther Jackson, neighbor,
and a couple of colored men from
Shepherdstown, who were in the
neighborhood at the time. Mr.. Jack
son grabbed spread from buggy, and
with the help Of a colored man they
wrapped the spread around Mrs.
Delaney and succeeded in smother
ing the flames, but not until she had
been horribly burned. Nearly all her
clothing wa. burned of, and pieces of
flesh dropped from her body as she
was carried into the house. Her body
from her neck to the knees was burned
almost into a crisp and the one side of
her face was also badly burned. She
also inhaled some of the flames DR..
E. NJ. Carrot was summoned, but
could do nothing except to administer
an anesthetic to relieve the womans
terrible suffering, and gave as his
opinion that she could not recover
The kitchen in which the explosion
occurred was wrecked but the fire
was put out before any serious dam
age was done. Mrs. Delauney's hus.
band was on board his boat at Cum
berland, when he received word Of
the accident.
Mrs. Delaney died from the eff
fects OF her injuries yesterday about
half.pa II o'clock. She regsined
consciousness on Tuesday, and it was
thought she was better. Yesterday
morning she suffered a relapse, how
ever, and soon alterward death ended
her suffering. She was conscious be-
fore she died and talked with those
about her bedside. Mrs. Delauney's
body was so badly burned that it was
sicksning to look upon, and the won.
der is that she lived as long as she
did after the accident. She was aged
about 80 years, and was native of
Cumberland, where her parents and
several brothers and sisters survive.
She is also survived by her husband
and three small children, the eldest Of
whom is six years old.

Troubles Of the Colored Brother.

Charles Cephas, a colored man, bet
ter known as "Shoats," had differ.
ence with the lady who passes as his
wife at a festival Monday night. He
was go incensed at her actions at the
"feetibul" that he gave her beating
there, bit it was not sufficient tc
quench her spirit. On their way hons
the quarrel was resumed, when he
again attacked her most sayagely,
beating or kicking her until she fell
unconscious. She was 80 badly hurt
that DR.. Grove had to work with her
for some time before she revived
"Shoats" was arrested by Sergeant
Shipley and hailed before Mayor Mil
Ter, who fined him $15 and costs. 1t
was impossible for him to raise the
money, so he will work out his fine by
doing corporation work.
A couple of months ago Thomas
Hopewell, colored, endeavored to in
sert several plugs Of lead in the anat-
omy of Frank Clark, same color, on
the streets of Shepherdstown; but
owing to the wobbly brand Of liquor
that he used he missed Clark by about
forty yards. Hopewell left town af-
ter the shooting and remained fu-
gitive from justice until Last Saturday,
when he returned to take his medi-
cine. He was tried before Magistrate
Rentch on the charges of shooting and
carrying concealed weapons, and was
fined an aggregate of $40 and SEN
fenced to sixty days in jail. He is
now serving the time in the bastlle at
Charles Town.

Improvements at the Cemetery.

Vast quantities of stone are being
gotten out of that part Of Elmwood
Cemetery which is to be graded and
otherwise improved SO as to be laid OF
in lots, and the new addition of the
cemetery Will be as attractive as any
other portion when the work Is COM
pleted. 1t slopes gently to the south
and west, and when the grass and
trees and shrubbery have a good start
it will be very beautiful. Some good
building stone have been taken out,
and these will be cold. A steam stone
crusher is now at work on the great
pile of stones, and after Pike Commits
sioner Hendricks has used what he
needs for repairs to the Kearneysville
pike large quantity of stone will be
crushed for the drives and walks in
the cemetery. W. L. Arthur has the
contract for getting out the stone.

Struck by Lightning.

During the thunderstorm yesterday
afternoon lightning struck the house
on the Rightstine farm, north Of town,
occupied BY Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Kearney. The bolt struck the house
in the gable end and tore some boards
of, but fortunately did not set the
house a6re. The occupants Of the
dwelling did not know the hou'e had
been struck until after the storm, when
they saw the damage that had been
done. They very distinctly remem-
bered the thunder, though, which
sounded as if cannon had been fired
IN the yard.

Rural Free Delivery.

Rural free delivery in jefferson
county is not altogether popular. The
patrons claim that the advantages are
outweighed by the Disadvantages in
many cases, aud considerable pro-
portion Of the people prefer the old
method There is great opposition to
the abolition of the postofices, and
the people of the Leetown neighbor-
hood are particularly indignant at the
proposition to do away with their Of
fee. The free delivery doesn't suit
them, either. The carrier leaves Kear-
neysville at o'clock in the morning,
and much of the important mail for
the Leetown neighborhood lies at Kear-
neysville until the next day. Some
persons refuse to put up boxes and
will get their mail from Kearneys-
vile. A representative of the people
went to Washington to secure a revo-
cation of the closing of the Office, but
was not successful. The office at Bar
dane was to have been closed July
3lst, but the people there got the de-
partment to reconsider the order, and
1t will be retained. The service will
probably become more popular after
matters are better adjusted.
The REGISTER requests Its Subscrlb-
ers to notify it of the changes of ad-
dress made necessary by the institu-
ton of free delivery, so that the paper
may be forwarded promptly. 1t will
probably take some little time to get
matters Strengthened out, and in the
meantime we hope that our readers
will be patient.

A good many persons have been
asking for information concerning mail
boxes necessary for those who receive
mail on the rural routes. 1t was re-
ported that they would have to buy
mail boxes of a certain pattern at a
cost of about two dollars. This is not
true. They may use any sort Of box
that they may desire, provided they
are willing to run the risk Of damage
to or loss of mail. A very good mail
box of tin or galvanized iron can be
bought of local dealer in Shepherds
town at a small price, or he will make
them to order as desired. Sharpers
selling mail boxes are at work in the
Cumberland Valley, and they may
get down this way. Their method Is
to 90 from house to house selling let
ter boxes, collecting in advance, the
boxes to be delivered in from three to
FIVE days. The boxes are delivered,
but they are little tin things which are
of not much account.

A party of boys found an eagles
nest in the cliffs along the river a mile
or two above Shepherdstown few

bald eagles just ready to fly. They
managed to capture them all, but one
was hurt so badly that it died. Ser
geant Robert Shipley had one Of the
eagles in the REGISTER Office yester-

to tip Of its wings. It had a very bad
temper and was ready to fight any
thing that came near it.
