WORKS MYSTERIOUS MINE.
Arizona Miner VIII Not DiyuIge
Source of HIS Wealth.

Somewhere in the White Noun.
tains OF Arizona, near the Indian
reservation, is a mineral field of
wonderful richness, The location is
known to but one person, an old
prospector named Williams, and he
refuses TO tell where it is. He saws
it is within forty miles of Clifton, to
which town he takes his gold and
whence he obtains his supplies. He
has thus far evaGed those who have
sought to track him to his claim.
and he frankly owns that he hopes to
keep his secret to himself for a long
time. About year ago he took to
Clifton several hundred dollars worth
OF coarse gold, which he had pounded
out OF rotten quartz Since then he
has made several trips, each time
bringing similar amount of gold,
and in addition two. pound lump of
platinum, a metal rarely found in the
pure state. Williams says he has a
hill full of gold and other metals and
when he has prospected to his sa It's
faction and taken out his pile" he
promises to give the world a sensa-
ton by disclosing the richest field
yet discovered, Mining Review.

A San Francisco exchange says;
Eastern buyers are said to have alb
sorbed large quantities of Comstock
mining shares at the lately reduced
prices. 1t is stated on reliable
authority that fully $4,000 shares of
Savage stock, assessment paid, has
just been sent east. Over one-half
of the capital stock of the Best &
Belcher mine is known to be held by
one person in New York. This en-
ables a reasonable estimate to be
made of the amounts of other stocks
that have been taken by fasteners.

CROSSED BURNING BRIDGE
AND THE FAST TRAIN WAS
SAVED BY DARING ENGINEER.

Crookston, Mimi, Dec. 3l-A cat.
sstrophe with heavy loss of life, was
averted by the bravery and GOODNESS
Of . Crookston man. The railroad
bridge over the Moose river at Surrey,
N. d., in some mysterious manner
caught fire. and in short while wal
. mass OF charred ruins. The east.
bound fast coast train was soon due
at the burning bridge.
Owing to the fierce blizzard the
blaze could not be seen for more than
hundred yards, and the approaching
train, had it not been for the bravery
displayed by Floyd Greenhough OF
this city, would have rushed into the
ruins.
Greenhcueh boarded light engine
and headed down the track in the hope
that he might reach the bridge before
the fire had seriously weakened it, AS
he approached the bridge he pulled
the throttle wide open. The bridge
stood the strain and the engine rushed
on to Norwich, where the flyer was
warned.

VATICAN PROTESTS.
WILL OBJECT HEREAFTER TIC
VETO BY ANY POWER OF
POPE'S ELECTION.

Rome, Dec. 3l-The .Osservatore
Romano, the vatican organ, contains
another and, it is considered. moro
important answer to that part Of the
speech Of Count Goluchowski, the
Austrian foreign minister, delivered
December 16, which referred to the
veto OF Austria against Cardinal RAM
polla at the late conclave.
The paper says that the holy see is
studying measures to prevent the prac-
tioal or theoretical use of the right Of
veto in oonclaves. The substance of
the article, which is attributed to
Pope Plus. Is that the changed politi-
cal and religious conditions today rem
der unbearable the veto which In the
past the church prudently tolerated.
When the civil and ecclesiastical pow
ers were strictly united, the article
says, the sovereigns of Austria, France
and Spain were the right arm Of Gath
olicism, often making the church pay
dearly for their protection, but rem
dering altogether signal services.
Therefore, it continues, they were rel
atively justified in having a personal
grata as pope. But today, when gov
ernments make open profession of athe
ism, prosecute the church with iniquit-
GUS laws and proclaim the complete
separation Of civil and ecclesiastical
powers. to pretend to influence pa.
pal election is arbitrary and an injus-
tice repugnsnt to modern conscience
besides, because the constitutional
governments veto is no longer in the
hands of sovereigns, but in those of
men often without faith.

A Popular Comedian Has Made
His Last Appearance.
Succumbs to Pneumonia After a brief
Illness-Was Booked for the
Kentucky.
STORY OF HIS CAREER

Jerome Sykes, who was booked by
Manager James K. English few days
ago to play 1.-THE Billionsire" at the
Kentucky In February, died suddenly
in Chicago Wednesday from pneu-
monia. after five days illness. His
death came as o great shock to the pro-
fession. Mr.. skies had not been to
Paducah since he became famous, but
in his earlier days he was here in rep
ertoire and light opera.
He was prominent Elk and Mason,
and will be buried in New York.
Mr.. Sykes was born in Washington,
D. O., in 1868. He began his stage
career in 1884 as member Of the
Ford Opera company in Baltimore.
Afterwards he sang with the Wilbur
Opera company.
Soon he left the operate walks and
for two seasons played villains in a
repertoire company, the heroes being
impersonated by the then well-known
Newton Beers. The company did
"Enoch Arden" through the West,
and after the usual experiences of
the earnest young actor, Sykes found
himself stranded in Kansas CITY. This
was in the fall of 1889.
Meeting Punch" Wheeler, an ad
vance agent Of fame in the theatre
world, the two compared notes and de-
cided that the time was ripe for the
organization Of a first class repertoire
opera company. They added their
capital and found they had exactly
$50, $29. 80 of which belonged to
Wheeler. They were not discouraged
by this fact, however, and before the
afternoon passed they had secured
nine people and announced . tour by
the "Alcszsr Opera company. They
started for Texas two days later, with
chorus painted on 9 scene, as Sykes
WAS in the habit of explaining.
Wheeler went ahead and gave the
local managers their choice OF an ex-
tensive repertoire, but when the com
pany arrived "Mascotte" was invsria-
bly, the bill II was the only piece
thew had costumes for, and they sang
1t under seventeen different titles.
In 1892, bow. Sykes began to
climb. He ST. ported Marie Tempest
in 1.-THE Fencing Master" and was
later with the Bostonians, alternating
with Mr.. Barnabee. He went with
Lillian Russell when she produced
IAN Ameri lean Beauty" singing and
playing the fat boy. Then, under
Whitney, he played the character Of
Foxy CUTLER in THE HiRhwayman,"
and his future was secure. He was
afterwards featured in THE Three
Dragons, and in Chris and the
Wonderful Lamp" end then "Foxy
CUTLER" was written for him, and he
starred successfully in it.
"The Billionaire" had claimed his
attention during the last two seasons,
and it WAS due largely to his clean
aud legitimate comedy methods that
the big entertainment W as enabled to
continue. He was popular with his
fellow players aud as unotious and en-
tertaining Off the stage as he was on.
