another can not recover. The fire
must have been very severe while it
lasted, for in many instances the flesh

through to the bone. The accident is
now attributed to foul shot.
With the past week the various

The observance Of Easter was fttingly
observed in the NJ. Il. Church last San
day. The morning service was well at
tended and the ermon delivered by Rev.
BARLEY, suitable for the occasion, was
~discoursed e~loquently. In the evening
the church was we'll filed by a large
congregation to listen to the exercises to
be rendered by the Sunday school chill
dren. The exercises proved very inter-
esting aud those taking part did well.
The church was nicely decorated with
lilies and large palm leaves, averaging
from four to six feet in heigh', which
had been received from California for
the occasion. \ large number of the
leaves were made into baskets by the
pastor which adorned the walls and
were particularly fine.

CHANCE FOR PRospEcToRs
Men of Wealth Now Anxious to Invest
In Mines.

A capitalist never yet found a mine
he buys them after they are found, says
the Salt Lake Mining Review. 1t is the
prospector who makes the first discov-
cry. He is the one who blazes the trail,
finds the way. and guides the mar Of
means to the mountain ranges, the can
yons and the hills to the cropping ledge,
the mineral zone in which nature has
placed her richest treasures.
This is the age OF michigan era of
mining. Men Of wealth have the fever.
They have come to a realization of the
fact that mining is a legitimate pursuit;
that it is vastly profitable; that there
are more millionaire mining kings than
there are railroad or manufacturing
magnates, and they want an inning in
this fascinating pursuit and occupation.
Hundreds of investors aud capitalists
are Of the same mind. However. they
will not find mines, but they will buy
them after they are found il they can.
And right here is where the opportunity
OF the ~prospector comes in. With his
ability to trace the float to the mother
lode, and his mining experience, his
knowledge Of mountain life, his training
in judging the value Of different classes
of ores, and with an understanding of
the formations, the distinction between
~porphyry, granite, lime and quartzite. it
only remains for him to make a valu-
able discovery in order to command the
attention and assistance of capital in
order 10 transform a prospect into a pro-
ducing mine and dividend payer.
While the West is possessed Of many
almost matchless ~bonanzas, the fact re-
mains that our mountain ranges and
canyons have been but oarely prospect
ed as yet. In fact there are great areas
of country in the West, much Of which
are doubtless richly minsralized, that
have as yet never been visited by the
~prospector and miner. What such
boundless tracts hold in "trust" for the
future, no one can tell, but it will be the
prospector who will reveal the secret,
and, 10 time tn come, it will be through
his aid that the world will be given in
