silusr nnnr,u Mar sing Sing.

Ossining, N. u. Sept 2S.-Silver
quartz was found Friday near Sing
Sing prison In rock which was blasted
by electric railroad contractors. The
quartz was obtained near the site Of an
abandoned silver mine which was
worked by the English before the
Revolutionary war. At the beginning
of the war the miners. most Of whom
were English, were driven away and
never returned to work the mine again.
IN 1920 and again in 1857 Attempts were
made to pump out and operate the old
mine but the quantity Of silver OBJ
tanned was too small to be profitable
and these attempts we're abandoned.

Sunday caused enormous damage In
Calabria. A gradual clearance Of the
buildings ruined by the recent earth
quakes shows that the number Of per-
sons who persisted was greater than
given in the first estimates. Large
numbers Of bodies are being discovered
daily. The work Of constructing wood
en- cabins under government supervis-
ion is progressing rapidly. Two thous-
and have already been completed and
1000 more will be necessary to shell

RESEMBLES FLANAGAN

The course being pursued by
that impertinent little South Amer
lean mole, Cipriano Castro, the
present dictator OF Venezuela, re-
minds the observer of an amusing
incident which occurred in Park
City, Utah, two or three years ago:
Jack O'Brien and Tim Flanni-
gan, both miners, were employed
on the night shift at the Silver
King. O'Brien was an unusually
lovlal, sunny-tempered giant,
while Flanagan, who apparently
forgot to grow any taller after
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1905-04-25

reaching five feet, was a chronic
snarl. Moreover, he had an inn
aginary grievance against O'Brien.
One afternoon while both men
were lounging in the Oak" one
OF the principal resorts Of Utah
greatest mining camp, O'Brien
was standing apart from the
crowd, talking to a friend. Elan
nigan had been looking through
the bottom of divers glasses, and
as result his grievance ditto his
courage) grew proportionately He
noted O'Brien's position, walked
slowly up to the giant and struck
him a blow full in the face with
his clenched fist. This should
have resulted, according to Elan
nigan's calculations, in O'Brien's
temporary retirement. The thing
looked perfectly clear. He had,
mentally analysed all of the de
tails, reviewed the probabilities of
cause and effect, and figured that
only one result could follow.
Somehow, though, it didn't seem
to work out just right. For a few
seconds O'Brien paid no attention
to the angry little bantam, but
kept on talking to his companion,
while Flanagan stood staring in
amazement. Finally the big
drew one hand lightly
across his cheek where Flanagan
had struck him, as though brush
ing off troublesome fly, and,
pointing his right index finger at
the pugnacious little miner with
no indication of anger, but rather
a tone of mild Impotence, said:
"Now, see here, Flanagan, the
next time you strike me in the
lace TIL get mad, sure!"

The offensive land criminal
manner in which some boys handy
about the names of those of the on.
posite sex-especially young girls
is bound to result, sooner or
later, in serious consequences: that
is, serious for the boys; it goes with
out saying, as a matter of course,
that such incidents are ALWAYS
harmful to the girls who happen to
be so unfortunate as to have the
acquaintance of this remarkable
unclassified species of male biped
in the form of man. In some cases
the persons concerned are not even
acqualntances-merely live in the
same community. Usually this
dangerous pastime is INDUCED by
a certain class of boys for a few
years only, after passing the age of
IA or Is; but in some cases, shame
to confess, it is never outgrown, APP
parently, until the source of the
offensive sonnd is too old to take
any further interest in life. And
right here is where the observer
wishes to state that it need occasion
no great surprise if something
should happen to drop, with ex-
ceeding great suddenness, in Noun
tain, some time.
