SHELTER AT WILLIAMS
New George Process Thoroughly
 Tested by a Trial Run.

What would be the outcome of the vital question in the minds of the resi- dents of this section, says the Williams News, but on Wednesday, although tho inventor of the George system, w. l.. George. and the manager of the Anita Consolidated Copper company, H. l Nesmith, had claimed that the test would be satisfactory, numerous citi- zens wer on hand to witness the great est event in Williams history.
 A great deal of work yet remains tO be done in the works in the way If getting screens. concentrators and much automatic gear in place for the automatic handling of low grade ore and the test was only made to prove the correctness of the inventors ideas and the faith had by the company in the process was well founded. Mir Nesmith, in speaking of the process said: We have the system we need and the smelter is all, and more. than we expected. Our efforts now. for thf next few weeks, will be devoted to get ting other automatic labor saving de- vices in position so that only as little handling of the ore as possible will have to be done by hand"
 After a quantity of ore had been treated it was run through the crushel and rolls and many fine specimens oi pure copper-some as large as a copper cent-were picked up by the interested onlookers. The treatment is such that the pure metal is separated from al foreign elements and comes out il quantities varying according to the richness of the ore.
 Mir. George, the modest inventor ot the process bearing his name, has pur in many hours of hard thought ana toll in perfecting his idea, and reward is now his.

UNRESTRICTED OIL WELL.
Bored for Sat Water in 1S40. and Every November Spouts Oil.

Louisville, January 1S.-Oil operators who have visited the Kentucky oil fields this fall have been very much puzzled over an old volcanic well on Richland. six miles from Barbourville. The well in question becomes disturbed regularly every year during November, and at intervals during this month erupts big streams of oil gas salt wat CT. mud and other substances.
 The well was drilled in 1S4O, near Payne's creek. by the old settlers, who were after salt water, from which they obtained their salt supply. The ma chinery used in the drilling was very crude, but the drillers got to a depth of 45O feet. when they encountered an immense stream of oil. which gushed for several days. The people did not know what the oil was. and were very much disgusted as the nasty black stuff" as they termed it. The effort to reach salt water was abandoned and drilling stopped. Tn the course of time the bed of the creek changed, un- iii now the water flows over the mouth nf the oil we'll. At any time one may see the water bubbling up over the hole, caused by the gas pressure.
 As far back as the people in that vicinity can remember the well has made the annual eruptions. The dis turbanCes this year Were somewhG' earlier than usual and attracted moro than ordinary attention on account oi the oil operations in that section. Al one time the water and oil were cast up nearly fifty feet. Just after a flow e match may be touched to the creek and a flame will fit across the water the gases causing this.
 Only few feet from this old well is the Hammons oil gusher. which makes | 4s0 barrels of oil daily.

stockholders in the prosperous company operating the mines.
 This distinguished party is very wei come here. They have shown their faith in our country by their heavy in- vestments, and are prepared to carry on development on a larger scale than ever.
 The latest reports from the Troy Manhattan properties are most encour- aging, and everything now leads to the belief that this will be one of the largest and most prosperous camps in the southwest. This is a consummation sincerely desired not alone on account of the country itself, but for the reward of the people who have invested them capital and energy. The determina- tion they have shown in the prosecution of the work upon these mines is worthy of the highest commendation, and vii, doubtless result in the opening up of a large number of now idle but valuable prospects.

ANs-sIBERIAN TRAFFIC.
Freight Business Increasing More Rap
 idly Than the Passenger.

Washington. January 1S.-Traffic on the Trans Siberian is developing con servatively but stadily, and experience has shown, since the opening of the line in 1898, that all depends on the upbuilding of the agricultural and min ing regions tributary to the road.
 There has been a much more rapid increase in freight than in passenger receipts, although the volume of neltt- CT is large as compared with the busi- ness carried on by railroads in Europe or the United States.
 Consul-General Holloway writes to the state department from St. Peters burg that the number of passengers carried over the Siberian road in 1898 was S6O, ,662; in 1899, 919, TSP. and in 1900. s66.551. He does not give figures for 1901 or 1902
 The fast freight traffic amounted to G.S40 tons in 1898. 13.4O4 in 1899 and 27.- 759 in 1900. The goods consisted chiefly oi butter. fresh meat. fish, fruit and other products of the country. The traffic by slow freight amounted in 1898 to 617.123 tons, in 1899 to G61. .11S tons and in 1900 to HIATT tons.

woRKMEN FIND BIRD STONE
A Fine Specimen of Prehistoric Relic
 Unearthed in Illinois.

Streator, H., January 1S.-As fine specimen of the prehistoric bird stone" was unearthed here by work men employed by the Chicago and Al ton railroad. It is five and a half inches long and an inch and a half high. and archaeologists have pro n0unced it a magnificent specimen.
 A bird stone," while of the unde- fined class of prehistoric ornaments or charms which have been called ''cere- monials," represents stone age art of no mean degree. This specimen is fine ly finished and polished and is extra ordinary in its workmanship. graceful ness and beauty. It represents, per haps, the highest achievement of pre- historic American art.
 Many theories regarding the use made of bird stones" are fanciful. It has been asserted that they were worn by married Indian women. Again, it is claimed that bird stones" were worn by Indian conjurers, and still another guess is that they were bound to the prows of canoes. It has also been guessed that they were employed in playing game; that they were totems of tribes and clans, and that they were talismans in some way connected with the hunt for water fowl.
 This bird stone" unearthed by the Chicago and Alton engineers must have been hammered or pecked into shape and afterward ground to its present form, and then polished diligently, for it is nearly as smooth as glass. Con- sideration of the then existing condi- ditions demonstrates the difficulty 0f making the object and the dexterity and workmanship required.

 Bring to Phoenix Homes.

Hard to do housework with an aching back.
 Hours of misery at leisure or at work.
 If women only knew the cause.
 Backache pains come from sick kid neys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills will stop them.
 Phoenix people endorse this:
 Mrs. F. Maldonado, F. Maldonado employed in the S. P. R. R. shops, resi- dence 341 North Main street, Tucson. Ariz., says: About a year ago I first noticed kidney complaint and since then at different times the aching has been almost constant. It was just across the small of the back and when not suffering from severe twinges the stiffness and soreness were so evident that I could scarcely get up or down from a chair. In addition to the back ache there were headaches and dizZl- ness and sleeplessness at night wIE cr caused a tired and depressing feeling the following day. I saw Doans Kid ney Pills so highly recommended wher the last attack was in the acute stage that I went to George Martins drug store on Congress street for box. II astonished me how quickly they helped A continuation of the treatment stopped the aching. removed the sore ness and radically disposed of other in- dications of either weakened or over excited kidneys"

Evidences are manifest for miles around in the castaway methods which are used in handling the dirt. The hundreds of holes to be observed show that years of work has been done.

WASTE PRODUCTS OF USE.
Fine Paper from Cottonseed Hulls and
 Flax Fiber.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, January 1S.- Three grades of paper of fine quality have been made here in the plant of the Pettibone Cataract Paper company from material obtained from cotton seed hulls and flax fiber.
 The latter raw material was supplied by the By-Products Paper company. which concern has conducted a long series of experiments on the treatment of cottonseed hulls and flax fiber. The cottonseed paper is a bleached product. soft and tough. It is thought that writing paper can be made from the hulls.
 The flax fiber makes a paper much like linen, and it is believed that the material has a great future. The eX- periments indicate that the south and west have a new source of revenue in their cottonseed hulls and the flax

The -four trade, which Is it's distin-
gushing traffic, has been badly inter
fered with by this inability. and also.
by trouble in securing cars. Outside of
these disabilities the road shows every
promise of increasing business. The
Manitowoc division has proved a sat-
isfactory Investment. The earnings
have been depleted and will continue
for some time to be depleted by the
necessity of providing for great inn
provements out of current receipts.
The work in the last year was all met
out of the earnings. The management
is showing itself decidedly conserva-
tive in this regard, dividends being
sacrificed to proper improvements. The
company has earned so far this year
at the rate of more than 4 per cent on
the preferred stock, without extraar-
binary expenditures. The matters that
have interfered largely with the traffic
will be entirely obviated by the open
ing of lake navigation in April The
prospects for the coming season are
brighter than at this time last year.
The betterment is owing to the i'm
provement in general business and the
increase in flour trade due to large

For the present, at least. the enforce

there is some doubt as to it's enforce
ment even then.
