DID YOU SEE TIE rC11PsEP
1t Was All Over Before Breakfast and
Not Worry Exciting.

Commencing about an hour before
sunrise this morning there was par
tial eclipse Of the sun. By an hour
after sunrise the obscurity on the
face Of the sun, caused by the cross
ing Of the orbits Of the sun and moon,
totally disappeared. When the eclipse
was at its height about seven'tenthS
of the face Of the sun was hidden.
The eclipse was visible to the east
err two. thirds Of the United States,
including the eastern portions OF
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado aud
Texas. To all points further west 1t
ended before sunrise.
Few Abilene people saw 1t because
1t was not exciting enough to induce
them to, lose their beauty sleep. 10
fact most Of them used the extra dark
ness as an excuse to sleep longer.
This observation Of the suns disc
has been exceeded only twice in this
section Of the country within the past
half century, namely, on August q
1869, and July 20, 1873. The next
ones in Importance we're those Of May
96, 1854. and July Is, 1850. The
eclipse cycle occupies a period Of
eighteen years and ten days, during
which time 70 eclipSes may occur, %
OF the moon and Al OF the sun.

The Cost of MINING Shafts.

Even as far back as seventy-fve
years the cost of sinking coal mine
shafts in England varied from $4,000
to $4,000, With the greater depth
required as the upper veins of coal
were worked out, the cost increased.
In 1857 100000 was spent in sinking
a shaft at the Haswell Colliery in Dur
ham, and a quicksand that could not
be conquered with the appliances and
methods Of that day, finally caused
the abandonment of the bore. At
Murton Colliery, not far from Has
well, $1,500,000 was spent in sinking
three shafts, which were completed
when 1,4SS feet deep.
Improved methods of dealing with
water-b bearing strata have made more
modern shafts less costly than those
of the middle of the last century-less
costly both actually and proportion
ately.

Chief of the Ukiahs.

Charles Penio, the Oldest chief OF
the Ukiah tribe, died at Cox Ranchero
recently, and the Indians are now
celebrating death feast Penio was
107 years old and ruled the Ukiahs
long before the white settlers arrived,
and the death Of many whites lies at
his door. He was judge and jury for
the tribe, but was deposed about
twenty-five years ago for killing Sam
Warden. Warden and another Indian
had quarrelled over a game of cards
and the other Indian was killed.
Penfo was sent for and had War
den tied to tree to be shot. He
lodged the first bullet, which so in
furiated the chief that he seized an
axe and chopped off Warden's head.
Penio was held in Jail for several
months, but none of the Indians could
be induced to testify against him.
Penio had always resented the en-
croachment Of the whites and was
considered dangerous. He was buried
in Indian style, with his pony and war
acknowledgements Bee.

in his courtyard by pair of water
wagtails. 1t measures ten centimeters
