iron and steel industries of the
world because of it's quality and
quantity. He also alluded to our
fine clays as being the best in the
world, and one of our greatest
commodities, many hundred of
tons having been shipped from
Marion during the past seceral
years during the months when it
could be transported to the rail
road.
Mr. A. II. Reed, who has ma
tional reputation as a mining en-
gineer, and who is the General
Superintendent of the Kentucky
Fluor Spar Compsny's properties,
also responded to this toast in
very clever manner. and quoted
extensively from a very interest
ing paper prepared by Mr. E. o.
Ulrich, of the Federal Geological
Survey. The tenor Of Mr.. UiricHs
essay was highly gratifying to all
of the operators in this field who
were presentsat the banquet
Mr.. Ross Givens, President of
the Givens Mining Company, read
an important paper from Prof
Owen, written in 1854, which pre-
dicted many wonderful things for
the mineral products of the Wes-
tern Kentucky District, many of
which have been verified. Mr..
Givens apparently could not re-
sist the humorous strain inherent
in his nature, but the purport of
the paper was not entirely lost to
his auditors by his side remarks
and clever humor.
"Our Guests" was responded to
by Ex- limited States Senator De-
Doe, whose able talk was literally
applauded, and greatly enthused
the entire audience. The vi jiting
guests were made to feel entirely
at home at our banquet board His
speech was one of his best deliver
ed.
The response to same was made
by Hon. L. 9. Flournoy, of Nor
garfield, and, in one of his char
acteristio and witty addresses, he
captured the audience. In the
course Of Mr.. Flournoy's remarks
he referred to Marion as being n
favored city, having had so recent

prospect of another one; when he

IN THE FRANCES DISTRICT
A PRESS reporter spent several
days in the above district last
week and found everything in q
hourishinS condition. There are
now ten or twelve shafts being
operated on the great Tabb vein
and several new shafts are being
sunk.
At the great Pogue mine they
are preparing for a big winters

A Close Call

A letter received last night from
nc Optic correspondent at Los Ala
nos says:
Yesterday While Peter Frank. With
Antonio S,rtlcz rs driver, was icr..
ing along the Los Conchas road, both
by lightning and fell to the ground.
They lay for about ten minutes be-
fore Mr.. Frank revived. A vigorous
application of water aided in restor-
ing the suspended animation of An
tonic and the horses. The men got a
thorough soaking but were not injured
by the stroke of lightning. Mr.. Frank
reported a very heavy hail on the
Conchas causing the death of many
lambs.
The range is looking fine and there
is abundance of water.
In Los Alamos LII inches of mois-
ture fell.
Juan Baca and Miss Lucia and her
sisters Cristina and Maggie are in
Los Alamos on a visit to their sister,
Mr.. p. w. Frank.
Messrs. Pittenger and Minium have
returned to Las Vegas after putting
thirty-six large panes OF glass in
houses, church and convent. The
glass was broken in the late heavy
hail storm.

in the subjoined answer to his ques-
ton as to the origin Of the custom of

was asked in The Optic and a cor-
respondent told Mrs. Lew Wallace's

OLSTT TO AN ODORLESS SKUNK FARM

NEW LONDON. Conn. Feb. H.
Skunk farms there have been in num-
bers, but it remained for two Connecti-
cut Yankees to devise and conduct an
odorless skunk farm. The farm is IN
Quambaug, in the village of Mystic, two
miles from the center, on a rocky ledge
Of wooded land which isn't worth much
Tor ordinary farming purposes. Calvin
Wilcox and William Allen are the skunk
farmers
When they planned to go into the
skunk farming business, eight years aeso,
the neighbors round about became more
or less panic-stricken. for. though they
Tad 10 intimate acquaintance with the
strong-scented creature Of the night,
they knew more or less of his capabfn-
ties To perfume q neighboThood on occa-
sion. Some Of the citizens of the old
village came near appealing 10 the Sc
Iectmen to prevent what they surely
believed would be the establishment of a
nuisance, but the selectmen were wise
in their day and generation, and said
that the nuisance could be stopped any
time that it became annoying.
Wilcox and Allen had insisted and ar
gued with their townspeople that they
were going to conduct an odorless skunk
farm, but naturally they could not in
duce any one 10 take them seriously.
We'll, wait and see,' they said and
went about their business of skunk
farming
Recently the writer paid visit to the
odorless skunk farm of Mystic. He had
his doubts about the truthfulness of the
part ertaining to the odor and took
along. as a precaution. a cheap suit of
clothes, consisting of pair OF jumpers
and Il jacket, which cost 81 in the city
of New London.
The Washington times., 1905-02-12

Under the conditions of the loan the
city of Wismar and the two government
districts were to remain in pledge for
100 years At the end of the 100 years
Sweden could claim and obtain the
pledged city and land by paying back
the original loan with 8 per cent com
pound interest. A further provision,
however, of the lean was that should
Sweden fail TO take any notice what
ever of the expiration of the time. the
contract would become renewed auto
maticaiiy for another 100 years. The
sum which Sweden would have had to
pay Il She wished 10 claim Wismar and
the TWO government districts is figured
as amounting 10 81. 900. 600. and this
alone, quite apart from considerations
Of policy, operated doubtless as a bar
against the assertion of her rights
