THE GARDNER.

This promises to be a large mine in n very short space of time. Sinking steadily in the two-compartment shaft, rAe depth now attained is over 925 Eeet Numerous crosscuts connect shis shaft with the Spray. which hoist 5 zsach ore as is taken from the drifts. Ass attempt is being made to break
 ground in the stopes of the Gardner, though plenty of ore is encountered, The intention being to make greater depth. The fact that the Calumet 6- Arizona. which joins this property, 's sxite a little deeper than the Gardner accounts for the small amount of water in the latter, boiler being found aszite sufficient to keep the shaft dry; ant this condition will probably change xa soon as the depth greater than the e X A. is reached.

WIcKENBURG SHELTER.

The Wickenburg Mining Smelling company is pushing work as rapidly as
 possible on the construction of the sme,ter. They are taking steps to se- cure a franchise for a light and water system for the city of Wickenburg. They have encountered water in their well at about forty feet, and the sup ply promises 10 be inexhaustible. and hence they are arranging to supply the town The company will need electric lights and power. and they are going to put in a plant sufficient to supply the town as well as them selves.
 Wickenburg may well put on gala attire and plume her wings for a great forward flight in the near future. An enterprising company like the Wicken- burg Mining and Smelting company can make a town out of this in spite of all the knockers in the field. 4 smelt- CT means more for this town than any one can begin to think. It means development for the prospect on it's own productions. or partly so. It means increased business for every business of every kind in the town and surrounding villages. It means activity to the camp instead of busi- ness stagnation. It means work for every one who will work for money. It means good times and plenty of money in circulation. It means that knockers must take a back seat and get out of the way of progress or be run over; and it does not matter which fate overtakes this trouble-breeding spawn of creation.-News-Her

Superintendent George Wood came in from the Chicago group yesterday, where he went the day previous in response to message that a strike of rich ore had been made in a seven foot drift from the 200 fJot level. The strike proved to be even better than MT. Wood expected He brought two lots of the ore in to have it assayed. Assay No. 1 showed . total value. per ton, of s34s; assay No 2, total value of s9290. The values are gold and silver. principally gold. Mir. Wood had one piece of ore from which small leaves of native silver pro- jected, and this specimen carried more gold than silver The pay streak is eighteen inches wide. Mir. Woods has a specimen from the Midnight Test mine, from the surface of which both native gold and silver project and on one surface the gold and silver are amalgamated, making it a very rare ore specimen. MT. Woods re- turned to the Chicago mine, fast vening.-Prescott Courier.

NEGRO A SMALL EATER.
When We'll and Regularly Fed the Black Man Flats Less ThaR
 the White Man.

"There is a very popular, but very erroneous belief that the negro is a heartier eater than the white man," said an observant citizen, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, ''but after some little observation I have come to the conclusion that the negro is really much smaller eater than white man. My attention was called to the matter some time ago by Senator Anse McLaurin, of Mis- |. sissippi, who asked me if I had mo- ticed the fact that negroes, as a rule, when we'll. fed, and when they could get their meals regularly, ate less than white men. I frankly confessed that had noticed no such thing, and said further that I did not believe it was so. Of course, my conclusion was merely hasty generalization, and was due mainly to the popular belief. My interest in the matter was reused by the rather firm state ment made by the Mississippi states man, and so I made a series of ob- servations, the results of which have been a revelation, for they have up- set the opinions of lifetime. I am now in a position to assert that if the negro is we'll and regularly fed he will eat at least third less than a. white man." ..

TWO REGENT INCIDENTS.

A little boy went up Chestnut street in Philadelphia the other day, carrying q bag containing $500 pennies from bank to his employers office The bag burst, the coppers were strewn about the street, and the boy sent a wall for help. N
 Traffic was suspended In that block. Scores of people stopped to help the boy find the pennies, and motormen checked their cars to aid A good many must have gone into their pock- cts rather than search the pavem lent. When the boy finally delivered his charge he had not only the $500 pen nies with which he started, but 16s more.

BOOKER wAsH1NGToN's STORY

"On my way nortT,'' said Booker T.
 Washington recently, "a southern gen tleman, asked me, when I made a speech, to prove to the northerners that they were responsible for the in troduction of slavery into the Aneri- can colonies. I told him it was a pret- ty big contract, and I didn't think I could undertake 1t, but I will tell a story that bears upon the subject. An old colored man had pig, which he sold one morning to a white man for $3. The white man drove off with his purchase, but on the road the pig escaped and found its way back to Uncle Zeke's cabin. A little later another white man came along. and Uncle Zeke sold him the same pig for another $3. On his way home with the pig, the second purchaser encountered the first, returning in search of the escaped animal After some wrangling they decided to go back and refer the question to the old darkey. Uncle Zeke, said No. 1, didn't you sell me this pig at 9 o'clock this morning? 'Sho' did, Massa.' But, Uncle Zeke,' said No. 2, didn't I pay you $3 for this pig at 12 clock? Sho' you did, Massa.' Well, then, who does the pig belong to?' Stakes alive said Uncle Zeke, can't you white folks settle dat ques- l ton between yo'selves?"

Tn discussing the Manchuria trou- ble one writer says, that it would be fair for Russia to remind us that to us, at least, she has always been friendly, and even generous. Her fleet did not lie off our coast during the civil war under sealed orders for an un friendly object, as English warships lay in those waters in daily expecta- tion of orders to break the blockade. To favor America alone, Russia aban- doned her age-long policy of advance, and eeded to us Alaska, with all those coast rights we are now so ready to dicker off to the British empire There was a time when we might have taken the ground that we were everywhere friendly to national rights, and that those of China in Manchuria had the sacredness of the rights of property in our eyes, so long, at least, as the peo- pie of that province did not resent her rule. 4t.s

ROBINS EARN THEIR CHERRIES
Destroy Insect Pests and Save Far More Fruit Than They Can
 Possibly Consume

An orchardist at Fulton makes com plaint against the robins or Jack rob ins" as he calls them. He says they are nipping all the blossoms off his cherry trees. They just strip the trees, and the ground beneath them is white with blossoms. He says the wicked birds tear the hearts out of the blos- soms and then bite the stems in two and let them fall, and fears that his cherry crop will be ruined, says the Portland aOregonian. A member of the John Burroughs society who has been applied to for information on this sub- ject says the orchardist is mistaken;
 if the robins do cut off any blossoms it is only defective ones, or such as have insects in them, md tha the birds are doing good instead of harm. He says he puts up nests of boxes among his trees to enable birds of any kind, even sparrows, to make their homes on his grounds. He says that birds help themselves to a few cherries when ripe, but they are welcome to them, as they have earned them by destroying insect pests. It is hoped that this in formation will satisfy the orchardist. It is doubtless correct, for if robins were as destructive as he imagines there would long ago have ceased to be any cherries in Oregon, while the fact is that the cherry crop is large almost every year, and of great value, The birds must not be condemned on false or mistaken testimony. 4

The unbroken forest of long-leaf pine that once extended from southern Vir- giria through the south Atlantic and the Gulf states to eastern Texas has been greatly depleted says the bureau of forestry of the United States department of agriculture, more than half the original forest has been exhausted; and conservative turpentine operators estimate a standing supply of virgin timber sufficient sonly for fifteen years of box cutting. The in difference with which this destructive method was everywhere once regarded has been succeeded by conviction that something must be done for the turpentine industry, that some method must be found of extracting turpen- tine which will not prevent similar continued operations on the same trees. The present method of boxing is needlessly wasteful of the products and needlessly harmful to the forests. A "box'' or cup-like cavity is cut in
 
 the base of the tree to receive the resin which flows from the scarified face above. The box itself does not con tribute an additional flow of resin; on the contrary the deep cut, by weaken ing the vitality of the tree, really les sens the flow. It is an unnecessary wound, inflicted in the most vital part of the tree, reducing its vigor, lessen ing its power to stand against the wind, exposing it to the attacks of dis ease, and furnishing an unnecessary large amount of exposed infiammable material to feed the next fire that burns over the forest. The future of the forest that has been heavily tur- pentined by the box system is speedy decay and death. ... .......

DUTCH IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Are Better as Farmers and Politi- clans Than the English, Says
 am English Writer.

The Dutch are better men on the land than the English. MT. Rhodes affirmed it as strongly as Benjamin Kidd. Not only are they better men but they are much cleverer politicians, writes w. T. Stead in Book1overs Mag azine. Dr. Gordon Sprigg, the pres ent premier of Cape Colony, told me last year that the rough Dutch farm CTS from the back country had such 8 natural intuitive genius for politics that after three weeks in parliament they could give points to any British member who had been in the house for months.
 Not only are they better men all round on land, not only are they abler politicians all round in the houses of parliament, but, what is far more inn Portant, they are better breeders of men. The British colonist, following the example of the Frenchman and the New Englander, shrinks from tn primal task of multiplying and increas ing and replenishing the earth. The Dutch cradle is never empty. If the hand that rocks the cradle sways the world, it is not less true that the race that fills the cradle will possess the world, Hence the destiny of. South Africa seems tolerably certain to be that of a federation of self-goyerning states, preeminently Dutch, which will or will not be sheltered by the union jack, according to the readiness of the imperial government to recognize that tt has no authority over African ders.

KISHlNEFF.

As far as can be understood the high authorities of the Greek Orthodox church are favorable to the movement against the Jews as well as the Films, if not actually secret promoters of it.. To such ecclesiastics this poem is re- spectfully dedicated. Is this q love-crowned Nazarene, This monster red with murders sheen These awful ones, who children toss Dying to dogs, hold they the cross? Are these the fruits of prayer and
 tears Incensing God these thousand years? That ever earth ye must bedew With blood wrung from the mangled
 Jew? Oh, Church of Christ, build high thy
 Sin, .. . Tread out the souls of Jew and Finn; Yea, bid thy hell-spumed offsprings
 toss .as.. The quiv'ring flesh of babes to swine; Thine is. the power, the glory thine! Have 70 forgot, ye Tartar horde, When Moslem through Sophia poured, The strong g-horsed Arab, meath whose
 feet Your mftered ones swift death did
 meet. Thot pow, proud in your strength
 and might. 'Gainst babes and helpless age ye fight? Ye have the strength, ye have the
 power
 To wreak your will, 'tis now your hour, But, later from the outraged earth Grim Nemesis shall wake to birth; Greater than Tolstoi, grimmer far, Not words alone, but hell-wrecked war. Put forth the terrors of your arm, Bind honest speech, blind your alarm, Weave over man fog forlorn As aught on the bleak Neva born; When least ye reck, truths wonder
 light Shall break the terrors of your night. And 10! the specter of your sin
 Shall mock ye most, as most ye win. F. H. WILLIAMS in Hartford Times

MAYOR MULVIHILL DEFENDED.
Editor Alexander Tup Unmeruy Scores the Men Who Are
 Abusing "Rugged HOneSty."

will go over until the fall or until such time as in their judgment Bridgeport will have another mayor than Mayor Mulvihill. This is, of course, political trick. It has though for its endorsers some of the democrats of the town. Another eminent citizen who has fig ured conspicuously in this underhanded political scheme is former Mayor Tay- Tor, who was turned out of power be- cause. he would not do the bidding of the republican ring of that city. 1t will be recalled that one of the first citizens of Bridgeport who heartily en- dorsed the candidacy of Mayor Mulvi- hill was MT Taylor. Now he turns upon, him. Why, it may be asked? ? Simply because Mayor Mulvihill has a mind of his own and has had the inde- pendence to make appointments that were not pleasing to MT Taylor and his friends. He declined to allow MT Tay- Tor to dictate appointments. That is the explanation in a nut shell of the opposition of MT Taylor to Mayor Null vihill, and why he is one of the prin- cipal advocates of the charter amend ment. The same motive prompts others to favor this charter amendment Those politicians who have been swarming to the state capitol to de- stroy if possible the political powers and prerogatiyes of Mayor Mulvihill have found that they could not run the city government of Bridgeport while Mayor Mulvihill is at the helm. They therefore want to crush him. It is a mean, small, degrading specimen of politics, just what you might expect from some of the members of the re- publican ring in Bridgeport who have found Mayor Mulvihill altogether too honest to suit their schemes. But it will undoubtedly turn out to be another case of those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. Mayor Mulvihill went into office with a ma- jority of over 5000 and he was known all over this broad land as Rugged Honesty, The. attempt of the repub- lican ring and the treacherous methods resorted to by some of the members of this ring and others to falsely misrep- resent the act of Mayor Mulyihill dur ing the, riot excitement recently are pretty apt to end in ignominious fail ure.
 The Union misses it's guess if Mayor Mulyihill isn't elected next time pro- yidIng lie is candidate, by even a larger majority than he had the first trip to the mayors chair.-New Ha- ven Union.
