Included in the islands. which it is
proposed to annex to the town Of
Rogue Eluffs. is Rogue Island. the
summer home of Mrs. Jack Gardner of
I;oston, 4 society leader. and famous
for her Venetian Palace. and Mrs
Gardner is one of the petitioners to
have the islands annexed.
Until i dozen years ago what is now
Rogue Elu1s was included in the town
of .'onesport and when the petition for
separation WAS presented it was pro-
posed to take Rogue Island and several
smaller islands at that time but the
strong opposition by Jonesport people
to parting with the islands defeated
this pant of the pronoSitiOn. In 1896
an unsuccessful attempt WAS made by
the town of itoque Bluffs to annex
| these islands ut which time Hon. Her
bert NJ. Heath Of Augusta appeared as
counsel for Mrs. Gardner
At that time arguments were adj
Nan"ed that Jonesport held al the is
lands from Addison to Machiasport
40 iii number, and that Rogue Bluffs
WaS asking for but nine of them. 1t
was also claimed that the residents of
theS" islands desired separation from
Joneslort and annexation to Rogue
Elufs.
In 1872 ROGUE Island was bought by
! one of the Pea hodys Of Salem and WAS
placed under the charge of John
Shorcy. Shorcy, it is claimed. acted in
| high handed manner and that when
Jonesport WAS incorporated as a town
the island was annexed and Shorey
banished. The island became the
property of Mr.. Gardner. father of
Jack Gardner. who sold it in 1869 for
$1,000. Later the sons bought it back
for $1,000 and it has remained the
| property of the family since. There
are 1.200 acres in the island which is
situated about ~ miles from the
shore.

The land adjoins the Mountain View Company's prop erty. 4 number of men are now at work opening up a road. After this they will be put to work sink ing a shaft. 4 number of negro colonists are expected to arrive shortly from the south. There are a great many practical miners among the colored people of the southern mining regions, and it is presumably among these that the promoters of the enterprise expect to get their results. The attempt is believed to be the first of the kind.

MINING NEWS.

Tucson Star: Reliable informa- tion comes from Silver Bell, that the value of the ore bodies of the Imperial Mining Co, now deyel- oped, measures mp to over $8,200,- GOO. This beats any showing for the amount of development of any copper mines yet discovered, or which are being worked.
 Kingman Miner: Henry Lovin carried twenty thousand dollar bar of bullion from Gold Road to Needles last Saturday. This is the first bar shipped since the method of treatment was changed from dry to wet crush at the Gold Road mill. It is now expected that the mill will produce S3O00 daily. The mine is showing mp wonderful bodies of rich gold ore.
 Tombstone Prospector. l. a s t week, the sixth of the new furnaces of the Copper Queen at Douglas was blown in, and in day or two the seventh will also be in opera tion. With these additional fur naces the CopperQueen plant IS now the largest in Arizona and one of the most complete in the world. During the month of January, the Copper Queen plant broke all for mel records of its own and also the record of any other smelter in Ari- zona for similar length of time The plant turned out 100000 pounds of blister copper. One days run last month eclipsed any thing in the history of the smelters of the territory The product turned out on that day represented 2 value Of $50,O00.
 Prescott Courier Over $300,000 has been taken from the Blue Dick mine, near this city. There IS plenty of ore now in sight in the mine. An eastern man named Barnes has a bond on the property and is said to have company or ganized to work it. Jack McDon- ald, F C. Wilder, ). L. Davis and M. J. Burns own an extension of the Blue Dick and have been work ing same for past two years. The extension is showing up well with from six feet to twelve feet of ore. which averages $15 per ton gold, silver and copper, principally gold and copper. At q point where the ledge is twelve feet wide 1t sam- pied $26 a ton. Car loads of ore have been shipped from the Blue Dick which returned 427 ounces silver and $20 per ton gold,

LOCAL WATER SUPPLY
SERIOUSLY THREATENED BY
CONTINUED Low RIVER.

The local water supply Is seriously
threatened by the continued low stage or
the Potomac river. Col. Leach, the en-
gineer officer in charge, has brought the
matter to the attention of the War De-
partment. In report to Gen. Mackenzie
chief of engineers, he says that several
times during the past month it has been
necessary to remove ice from around the
mouth of the conduit at Great Falls and
the screens at the Georgetown distributing
reservoir.
1.-The present consumption and waste of
water" says Col. Leach, lis estimated at
about $4,000, 600 gallons per diem, and ow-
ing to the present low stage of the river
this large consumption has lowered the
Georgetown distributing reservoir to- about
seven and one-half feet in depth, or over
three feet below the normal. The other
reservoirs have like reduction. This low
ering of the reservoirs means reduction
of nearly 10000, 600 gallons of their capac-
ity, or about one-fourth of the total stor-
age"
Col. Leach reports also that the water
served to the people of the District during
January was clear only two days, being In
various stages of turbidity during the re-
manning twenty-nne days. The work on
the filtration plant is progressing as rap
idly as possible under the extremely ad-
verse conditions of the weather.

PREPARING FOR THE WORST.
Mrs. Edwards Nerving Herself for the
Execution on Thursday.

READING, Pa, February 4.-Mrs. Kate
Edwards today is more composed than at
any time in two weeks, and 1t is believed
that she is nervng herself for her execu-
ton on Thursday. Today she walked with
firm step from her cell to the Office in the
jail, where she met her lawyers for the
preparation of further afiidavits to be pre-
scented to the board of pardons tomorrow.
Sheriff Sassaman has made every prepa-
ration for the execution and in the event
of an unfavorable decision from Harrisburg
the erection of the scaffold will be COM
menced. Mrs Edwards and Greason will
be hanged at the same time. Greason Is al
most dumbfounded. He had confidently ex-
pected a new trial and his ultimate free
dom. and he apparently can scarcely realize
his terrible situation.
Mrs. Edwards has given up all hope. and
has selected the text for her funeral sermon
and the hymns to be rendered Rev.
Stephen Schweitzer is to preach the sermon
from the text found in Isaiah GOD, Thy
sun shall no more go down. neither shall
thy moon withdraw itself; for the Lord
shall be thy everlasting light, and the days
of thy mourning shall be ended-"
She has requested that three hymns be
sung at her funeral, the first is Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" the second. Rock of
Ages and the service will be closed with
Nearer, Ny God, to Thee"
