 Decatur. March 27.-(SpeciaL) )-The enthusiasm in connection with the building of the foot. electric railway and wagon bridge across the Tennessee River at this city Is still growing and the building of the bridge is now an as- sured fact
 The committees which have the solic- itation of stock in hand report that the stock Is being rapidly taken ane they believe that within the next few days all of the stock will have been subscrib- ed; that Is the amount of $50,0JO worth of stock that the bridge construction company require the local people 10 take.

HOW MINES CHANGE.

In the history of mining there
have been many very strange and
unexpected changes, says Mining &
Scientific Press. The one-titne lead
mines of Missouri are now produc-
ing almost exclusive zinc ores. The
Horn Silver mine of Utah was al
one TINS a large silver-lead pro-
ducer, but now ships large amounts
Of copper ore.
The great copper mines Of Butte,
Mont, were originally worked ex-
clusiyely for gold aud later for gold
and silver. The Mount Morgan
mine OF Queenland, Australia, pro
duced originally gold only, but
within the past two laars it has be-
come a producer Of considerable
copper The tin mines Of Cornwall
were originally mostly worked as
copper mines.
The great silver mines of Cerro
de Pasco, in Peru, are today being
equipped for the production of cop
per and promise to become an inn
portant factor in the copper world
Leadville, Colo, was originally
gold-producing placer camp. In
1877 it began its famous production
as lead-silver district, and today it
produces gold, silver, lead copper
and zinc.
The Bingham district of Utah was
at one time gold silver camp. Its
production is now largely copper,
gold and silver.
Twenty years ago some prophesied
that the Homestake mine at Lead,
S. d., would in depth become a
silver mine, but at its present depth
of | 200 feet there is no evidence of
this anticipated change The early
miners in the Coeur d'Alenes of
Idaho gave scant attention to the
lead-silyer ores which have since be-
come such an important factor in the
lead market of the world, and which
has sustained the camps in that dis
trict and permitted the founding Of
an enduring industry.
Instances of these changes might
be multiplied almost indefinitely,
but sufficient number of cases
have been cited to show that any
district may anticipate radical
changes from the conditions origin
ally obtaining in them.

skeletons in bunch of rocks two
miles from the town.
Near them were au old saddle and
remnants OF shoes that must once
have been worn by the persons
whose bones were left to bleach in
the sun. The bones were scattered
about, partially buried and looked
as though they had been buried
and looked as though they had been
used as playthings BY rats. | noticed

skulls had dent in it, apparently
made by blow Of some hard i'm
plement.
"On the day following, at about
the same distance, but on the other
side of Unionville, ! found another
skeleton. In this case there were
no bits of clothing or other relics
scattered near.
"I did not bury or disturb these
uncanny remains in any way. They
were sun-bleached and apparently
very old"

Peter Dooley's Money Treats A Whole
Town.

Peter Dooley. of Prescott, who
few weeks ago found a strong box
containing $40, 900 in gold buried in
a cellar of an old house, and WAS
for some time in doubt as to whom
the money rightfully belongs, has
decided that Peter Dooley himself
is the only man who has any claim
on it.
The good natured Irishman has a
generous heart and the money he
found is going freely for the benefit
of others. Half of it he gave to his
daughter, Mary Ann Dooley, who
has lust become the bride of Allen
NJ. Mullen. The couple had built
them a little log house and furnish
ed it simply with bare necessities.
The windfall of $4,000 has trans
formed their lives as effectually as

Oct IL.

Chapman, Kan, Sept. 13.-The ex-
ecutive committee of the Mississippi
Valley Coursing club has accepted the
bid of the Chapman people, and will
hold the futurity coursing at this
place, commencing October II.
Marshall, Mimi, had made bid of
$3.50 for the meet, but the inaccessi-a
bility Of the place put it out of the
race. Blackwell, Okla. also made a
bid of a similar amount. The central
location of Chapman and the influence
of prominent men who were inter-
ested in having the meet at this point,
made it possible for Chapman to be
chosen.
A local organization has been
formed and the following officers
were elected: President, Ed Arnold,
Chapman, Kan; vice president, Mr.
Ehrsam, Enterprise, Kan; secretary,
Roy Thisler. Chapman, Kan; treas
urer. John Carroll, Chapman, Kan.
Committees on advertising, grounds
and entertainment have been appoint
ed and every effort will be put forth
to make the event a success.
Up to date 228 dogs have been
listed. coming from all parts of the
country from New York to California.
Reduced rates will be given by the
railroads and a large attendance is
anticipated. It is practically certain
that the Waterloo will also be held
here along withStlle futurity in which

and he determined finally to seek her
and bring her back to the old home.
Two weeks ago he came here and
sought out Sergeant ]. M Broadhurst,
