SIGN OF PREHISTORIC RACE.

Reno. New, Feb. 2.-William An
dres and William Jones, two pros
pectors, have returned to Reno with
reports of the discovery of another
strange cave in the southwestern por-
tion of Nevada. The cave has been
explored to a depth of 900 feet and
shows evidence of prehistoric race.
The cavern is located on the line
OF the new Clark road. near Caliente.
It shows signs of habitation. Be
tween the myriad stalactites that
hang from the walls hiergolyphics
have been found. Old stone seats
showing signs of use have also been
discovered.
The men also state that they have
discovered mineral wealth in the
cave Assays from the ore give sat
isfactory returns in gold. silver and
other metals. Efforts are now be-
ing made to explore the innermost
caverns of the cave and startling re-
suits are expected.
A mining excitement that prom
ises to exceed even the boom at To
uopah has started in the Peavine dis
trict. four miles from Reno. I'm
mense bodies of free milling ore av-
eraging from 81 to $1,000 per ton
have been uncovered and the hills
are being lined with prospectors.
James Butler, father" of the To
nopah district, is now interested in
the new district, and intends erecting
big plant right in the heart of the
district

CUTLER MOUNTAIN MYSTERY.

Colorado Springs, Feb. 2.-Milton
Franklin Andrews, the man whose
presence in Colorado Springs is so
greatly desired by Chief of Police
w. S. Reynolds. has found his hid
ing place near New York City un-
comfortably warm and has sought
new quarters near Boston. He
changed his quarters Tuesday.
Since the return of Chief Rey-
nolds to this city the work which
he undertook has heen carried on
by some of the best detectives of
the country with the result that
Franklin. who is believed to be re-
sponsible for the disappearance of
Mrs. Bessie Bouton, his sweetheart
and travelling companion, has become
alarmed and changed his place of
residence. But the officers are again
upon his trail and only few days
behind him. 1t is predicted at the
police headquarters in this city that
the eastern officers will land their
man before the end of the week. 1t
seems almost impossible that Frank
lin. as he is known in the west, can
get away, as his personal appearance
is such that he is easily recognized.
Franklin is 6 feet ? inches in height
and weighs but 40 pounds, show
ing him to be unusually tall and slen-
der, and with the scar upon his face
he is easily recognized by the rail
road men wherever he goes.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 2.-The po-
lice of this city have at last got
on the track of Milton Franklin An
drews. who is believed by Chief Rey-
nolds to be responsible for the muir
der of Mrs. Bessie Bouton. on Cut
Ter mountain. near Colorado Springs.
The clue was secured through his
brother. Alvin Andrews. who re-
turned here Sunday and was immed-
lately taken in charge by the police
He was subjected to severe cross
examination by the chief of police
and finally broke down and admitted
that he had not only seen his brother
recently but had been in his company
for the past 1 s days and had left him
only the day before Saturday.
According to the statements made
by Alvin Andrews. it was arranged
that his brother should take the train
for Buzzard's Bay, but careful in
vestigation on this point showed that
he was attempting to mislead the
officers, for, instead of going to Buz-
Yards Bay, it was learned that Mil
ton Franklin purchased a railroad
ticket for Boston but left the train
at the first stop on the outskirts of
the city and is now in hiding in the
vicinity of Boston.
Alvin Andrews told the officers
here that his brother was mental
and physical wreck. He knew that
the police had charged him with the
murder of Mrs. Bouton and were
seeking to place him under arrest
for the crime" Alvin Andrews told
the chief, land the matter has so
preyed upon his mind that he has
become almost insane. He assured
me that he had nothing to do with IL.
but felt that he must keep out of the
way"
Since his return TO this city Alvin
Andrews has been kept under close
police surveillance unknown to him.
and last evening the detectives re-
ported to the chief that Alvin had
left the city but had told his wife
that he would return tomorrow. 1t
is believed that he has gone to as
sist his brother. and, as he is being
shadowed, the arrest of Milton
Franklin Andrews is now but ques-
ton of a few days, and possibly
few hours.

Good Business Judgment.

Now that the Birmingham district is known as center for iron industries, every one naturally expects to find large machine and foundry plants here" said a pioneer but I remember when many large concerns now prospering were re- garded as doubtful ventures.
 Here is a story in point. The Hardie- Tynes company, manufacturers of engines and other machinery, was organized in 1895 A year or two afterwards Mr. Tynes. who had come here from Mississippi happened to be in Ohio, where he met the late ". P. Callahan of Dayton one of the most prominent machine builders in the country. MT. Tynes told MT. Calla- han of his company in Birmingham, speaking enthusiastically. of course, of this city's great industrial future. The older man said in substance this: You have made a mistake, MT. Tynes, in set ting in Birmingham. You should have come to Ohio In the north we have the mechanics. You will find them scarce in the south. Moreover, the south will not afford the market for your output and 1t goes without saying that you cannot sell southern made engines in the north. Had you started a plant in the north you would have found customers here and would have done a good business in the southern territory as we'll
 With characteristic southern pluck MT. Tynes replied Birmingham is all right. We have good mechanics and the day will come when Hardie-Tynes will sell engines in Ohio A few years later this Birmingham firm were the successful bid ders for installing Corlss engines in a large Cincinnati factory. MT. Tynes met MT. Callahan again.
 When Tynes remarked, T told you so,' the two men had a hearty laugh as the earlies conversation was recalled. The Birmingham concern has installed scores of engines in the north since then. MT. Tynes was prophet that well reflected the Birmingham spirit

EDWARD ATKINSON.
the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Edward Atkinson filled a role for which he has left no successor. He was nat ional mentor whose function it was to correct, to reprove and to chasten.
 Statistics were his stock in trade, and pamphlets of which his output was prodi- gious, the vehicles of his propaganda The frequency with which he was in the wrong lent effectiveness to his views when he was right. As student of so- cial and political economy the scope of his inquiries ranged from theories of banking and the distribution of food pro- ducts to economical processes in house. hold kitchens. Equally with his volum- inous works on free trade. the currency question and cotton manufacture, his fuel saving oven is a monument to the va rety of his researches.
 Yet it is in his controversial writings and his advocacy of the impracticable that MT. Atkinson perhaps served his highest usefulness. To the support of un feasible projects he brought a convincing logic and an attractive style. What in one of lesser gifts would have been merely the crotchets of crank he dignl- fled with an art that almost persuaded With all his faults he had moral courage and moral courage is sufficiently scarce in this country to atone for all manner of personal idiosyncrasies.

Christmas Among the Poer.

Despite the general prosperity that prevails in this district, there are of course many who through untoward circumstances do not share in it, and some good people are not in touch with the latter. As the great festival of the year approaches they are at loss in trying to observe the season in accord ance with the dictates of their own warm hearts. To such The Age-Herald fully comments two excellent institu- tions that can make and do make money go very far. It is safe to say that dollar in the hands of either does fas much good as two dollars on the average in individual hands. / If the giver desires to benefit chil- dren let him send whatever he desires to give to the Sisters of Charity who conduct the orphanage at East Lake There 15O children are kindly cared for. and every cent spent upon them will be well spent. Children of all creeds are being reared there. All need clothes, food, care, and all get them up to the limit of the resources of the devoted sisterhood.
 The very poor in general adults as well as children, can be made happier by sending money to the Salvation Army, which proposes to bring to- gether at a Christmas dinner one thousand Like the Sisters of Charity no donated money is absorbed in sal aries by the Salvation Army. The use fitness and devotion of the followers of General Booth is one of the glories and wonders of the world. It is the Christmas spirit in it's best form. It i is Christmas cheer and good will in the concrete.

the magic wand. The valley is, it Is true, twenty miles long, but Prosperity is at home in every part of it.
 But while prices are higher than they were one year ago, and much higher than they were two years ago, yet they are today below the develop ments of the district, and far below the prospective changes in a great indus trial center They are below the prices that property commands in adjacent cities-in Atlanta or Nashville or Mem phis-not one of which has within com mercial reach a pound of coal or iron ore or other natural resources.
 While Birmingham is the best advertised and the best-lnown town among southern cities, yet the home folks do not yet appreciate what 1t IS to be when capital has worked here it's own peculiar wonders-when the Warrior has to our very doors six feet of water the year round-when inland navigation to New Orleans is fully established-when the Panama canal is dug.
 Birmingham is but thirty-four years old Give if thirtv-fol1r more years to grow in, and Jones valley will be the busiest valley in the entire country. The thirty-four years will expire in 1940, and thousands of our present population will live to see that great period of Birmingham's glory and de- yelopment. Even in 1940 prices may still be doubled every two years.

AnarchiCaI Russia.

Russia is big, rudely exceptional, and wildly chaotic. The country is so big. so exceptional and so chaotic that it is impossible to find any parallel case to judge the situation by, and the reader is almost necessarily forced to accept the mass of news that the cable brings nightly without being able to digest 1t or to form a definite opinion.
 We all know that a desperate con fict between the privileged classes, headed at present by Minister of In terior Durnovo. and the masses is go- ing on. The masses are acting under secret direction. This secrecy had been developed by the suppression efforts of the court cabal and the bureaucrats of past days, and there is nothing like it in any other country. It acts largely through the industrial organizations, and the greatest possible secrecy char acterizes all its efforts.
 The privileged classes, ranging from grand dukes down to the provincial grafter. have nothing to depend upon except military terror, and even this is fast becoming an uncertain quantity. Whenever the soldiers go over to the masses from which they came autoc- racy and bureaucracy and privilege will tumble down like a house of cards. The plundering and oppression of the masses by the classes would in that case be ended at once. It will prob ably be ended anyway, although the time and manner may be devious and full of checks and obstacles.
 The best feature of the situation seems to consist in the determination on both sides to seek climax. The Durnavo policy of repression is to be met by a general strike, and perhaps the unprecedented tumble will be brought to a continuation and logi- cal clearing-up within a reasonably short time. But great bodies move slowly, and awakened Russia can be pacified speedily in only one way, and that way consists in the abdication. body. boots and brooches, of the entire machine that we call Privilege.

LAST SLAVE SHIP.
om the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 ''The very last vessel to bring a cargo of African slaves into this country landed on the coast of Georgia in 1s60." said Col. William Youngblood of Atlanta, at the Riggs house.
 "The vessel. whose name I do not recall, was operated by two southern men, Cor rio and Lamar. think Corrie was from Charleston and his partner was from Sa- vannah, and member of the celebrated Lamar family. They brought over between 800 and 500 negroes from the shores of Af- rica, and proceeded up the Savannah river to Augusta before attempting to get rid of the slaves. There was lively bidding for the blacks by the planters of Geor- gia and South Carolina, and they sold like hot cakes at prices ranging from $500 to $500 General Dearing, prominent cit izen of Edgefield county, s. C., bought twenty of them.
 At that time was going to school in South Carolina, and happened to pay visit to the home of Mrs. Tillman, the mother of the present United States Sem ator from that state who also lived in Edgefield county. It seems that Mrs Till man had been purchaser at the sale of Corrie and Lamar, and have a distinct recollection of being shown one Of the young Senegambans that she had bourht of them. He was as black as midnieht. and when spoken to could only grin and gesticulate. for he had not learned a word of English

IN HOTEL. LoBgIES
Baseball Salaries.

'i see that President Kavanaugh says that the salary limit of class A is $24Oo' and he intimates that when we are in Class A we should do as Class A does, said fan yesterday.
 The truth is, however, that one limit is as good as another. There are fully a hundred ways of evading any limit, and no limit is worth the paper it is writ ten on. Whenever a team wants men it gets them wholly regardless of a salary limit, and Judge Kavanaughs talk about enforcing the new limit of s2lO0 month Is simply hot air. It will be enforced where it fits, and it will be evaded where 1t does not fit. There is no bigger de- fusion than a salary limit It is limita- ton that limits only where 1t is aecepta- ble and welcome"

Confederate "Reminiscences

The papers that from time to time are read before Camp Hardie and after wards published in The Age-Herald go to make history, and it is a duty, a real present duty in the survivors of the civil war to present to the extent of their respective abilities it's heroism and self-sacrifices. From just such papers will the final history of the great struggle be gathered. The tes- timony of actual survivors is all-valu- able in that respect. and no survivor should lose sight of the fact that he took part in the greatest civil war of all history. It will perhaps ever stand as the greatest civil strife of historical times. It becomes therefore important that all possible material for it's mak- ing and writing should be supplied while participants in 1t are still living.
 The Age-Herald urges Camp Hardie to take steps to have the papers put in a volume that can readily be con suited and that will preserve them to the day when the history of the war can be written free from passion or prejudice. Such history will be writ ten during the present century, per haps about 1850, and the historian of that day will need access to just such papers as those that are appearing week after week in The AgeHerald.

Two saloons are doing a relatively enormous business, one having returned its proprie- tor s1oOo0 clear profit within three months In this place, it Is said, laborers are drugged, slugged and robbed with little effort at concealment
 Laborers will be made stupid with drink, and then will be charged $10 for a single drink.
 One man secured three drinks for s5o, and then was kicked out of the place be- cause he had no more money.
 Later, in an outburst of philanthropy, the proprietor gave him 8 cents with which to secure meal
 Some of the ditch constructors are un- derstood to stand in with the saloon keepers and thugs. and to encourage them in robbing the laborers, because the soon- CT the men go broke the sooner they will return to work.

THE NORTH WIND.

By Thomas Stephen Collier. Oh, wind of the North! oh, bitter wind! The sea is white with your foam, And the cold, dense clouds lie black be-
 hind
 The path where the rollers comb. And high is your shout, as swift and
 strong
 By the reeling hulls you roar And the skipper needs your wrathful
 song,
 And his ship heads out from shore. And blue is the flame whose baleful blow Lights the waves that beat the sand, And the cold salt spray lies white as
 snow
 On the seaward sloping land. And red is the phospher bloom that runs Where the scurges sweep and curl And the sea-deeps shine with fleeting
 suns
 Where the undercurrents swirl. And up where the clouds are rushing
 past
 In the wild discordant gale, There the noise of wings sounds down the
 blast
 Where the sleepless sea-birds sail

 'sIt Is city of architectural beauty, thanks to the Real Estate club. The clubs aim is so far as possible to see that all buildings erected, will be in a measure uniform, thus keeping in mind Brigham Young's idea of uniformity.
 An innovation in street cleaning was inaugurated last spring. From Brigham or Temple street south to Tenth, which practically comprises the business sec- tion on Main street, they have running water fed through a system of gravitation from Cottonwood canyon. This water, continually running day and night, com pletely fiushes the streets, keeping them absolutely clean. and thus doing away with street cleaning organizations.
