had A TIME GETTING OUT.

On account of the fire at the
Sulphur TIMBER & Lumber Com
pany's plant last week, which put
the electric plant out of business,
we had to get out our last weeks
issue by main strength, that is,
we had to run the press by hand.
When we found we could not get
current for our motor, we started
out to get some one to manipu-
late the drive wheel.
Accompanied by the city mar
shall, Mr.. c. c. O'Malley, we had
not gone far before the marshal,
who is on to all the tricks. went
to cabin which was apparently
empty. He opened a window
and looked in upon two dusky
denizens engaged in a social game
of seven-up for a nickel a ctrner
and two others looking on. He
invited them to pay visit to the
mayors office. We engaged one
of them to act as motor for our
press. He came to the Office and
printed about a 6ozen sheets and
knocked off" for noon. remark
ing that he would come back inn
mediztely after dinner and bring
another man with him. He must
be still looking for the other man
as he has not shown up since.
We then engaged a white man,
who came to the office and looked
the press and pile of papers over
and left without running off a
single paper. We then made
another trip and found about 80
or 30 negro men loahng about the
lunch stands and the depots but
none of them would work. We
finally got MIR. Gus Pinckard. who
printed off one side for us, but he
was taken sick and could not
finish the job. We were up
against it again when our genial
friend, Calhoun Abraham,
dropped into the office and pro-
posed to give us hand, which
we gratefully accepted, and he as
sisted us until We got out enough
for the Friday morning mails.
Friday morning the editor and
the office force took hold and
finished the job. Mr.. T. w. Moff-
EFT and the blacksmith, Mr.. Yer
den, giving us some valuable as
sistance. We had TO reduce our
issue two pages and. of course.
had to leave out much matter
that We had in type.
The electric plant is running
again now and we have printed
this edition with considerably
more dispatch.

Upon referring to his register, Colonel
Burr found that Gedney was a Tory;
but he was known to have taken no
active part against the patriots, and
Burr had promised that all such should
be protected. He therefore caused the
robbers to be drawn up in the presence
of the troops, laden with their booty,
and then had them conducted by a
company of soldiers to Gedney's house.
There he required them, first, to restore
the stolen goods: next, to pay in money
for such as had been lost or damaged;
thirdly. he compelled each man to
present Gedney with a sum of money
as a compensation for his fright and
loss of time; fourthly, he had each
robber tied up and fiogged ten lashes;
lastly, he made each of them ask par
don of the old man, and promise good
behavior for the future. All these
things were done with the utmost de-
liberation and eXactness, and the ef-
fects produced by them were magical.
Not another house was plundered. not
another family was alarmed, while Col
onel Burr commanded the Westchester
lines. The mystery and swiftness Of
the detection, the rigor and fairness
with which the marauders were treat
ed, overawed the men whom three
of lawless warfare had cor
rupted, and restored confidence to the
people who had passed their lives in
terror"

THE PLAINS TRIBES.
Typical American Indians Of the Great
Northwest.


The northwest plains Indians Is to
the average person the typical Ameri-
can Indian, the Indian Of our school
day books-powerful OF physique,
statuesque, gorgeous in dress, with the
bravery of the firm believer In pre-
hunting and slaughtering Of the buff
falo trained him to the greatest phys
ical endurance and gave an inbred
desire for bloodshed. Thousands Of
peace loying, agricultural living In
dams might climb down from their
cliff perched homes, till their minia-
ture farms, attend their fiocks and at
night time climb back up the winding
stairs to their home in the clouds
and attract no attention.. but IL q
fierce band of Sioux rushed down on
a hapless emigrant train the world
would soon learn Of It.
The culture of all primitive people
Is necessarily determined by their
environment. This, Of course. means
that all plains tribes, though speak
ing a score of languages, were in life
and manner broadly alike. They
were buffalo hunting Indians, and
only in rare cases did they give any
attention to agriculture. Buffalo
meat was their food, and the by pro-
ducts their clothing, tools and imple-
ments.
The plains tribes in earlier times
were certainly true nomads. For a
time, in the depths Of winter, they
camped in the shelter of some forest
along the streams. Other than that
wherever roamed a herd Of buffalo,
there also wandered the bands Of
northern Indians. The very exist
ence Of these tribes seemed bound
to that of the buffalo. From the
skins their lodges were built, while
the hair on the hides furnished the
robes for the body as well as mat
tresses and bed covering. The
meat, prepared in many ways, with
the addition of a few roots and ber-
ries, furnished their entire food.
Advancing civilization has swept
these countless herds from the race
Of the plains and left their human
companions stranded.-E. 8. Curtis

THE INVENTOR OF CHESS.
His Price Seemed Modest, But 1t
( Could Not b. Paid.

n An Arabian. author, AL Sephadi re-
lates the following curious anecdote:
A mathematician named Sessa the
son of Dahar, the subject Of an Indian
prince, having invented the game or
chess, his sovereign wss highly pleased
with the invention and wishing to con-
fer on him some reward worthy OF
his magnificence. desired him to ask
whatever he thought proper assuring
him that it would BE- granted. The
mathematician, however, only asked
for a grain of wheat for the first
square Of the chessboard, two for the
second. four for the third, and so on
to the last, or sixty-fourth. The prince
1T first was almost incensed at this de-
mand. conceiving that 1t was Ill suited
TO his liberality. BY the advice of his
courtiers. however, he ordered his VI
zier to comply with Sessa's request,
but the minister was much astonished
when having caused the quantity OF
wheat necessary to fulfill the princes
order to be calculated, he found that
all the grain in the royal granaries, and
ven all that in those Of his subjects
ard in all Asia, would not be sufficient.
He therefore informed the prince.
who sent for the mathematician and
candidly acknowledged that he was not
rich enough to be able to comply with
his demand, the ingenuity Of which as
tonished him still more than the game
he had invented.
1t will be found by calculation that
the sixty-fourth term Of the double
progression, beginning with unity. Is
9.223 .372. .036. 1854. .775.S0S. and the sum OF
all the terms Of this double progress
sion. beginning with unity, may be OBJ
tanned by doubling the last term and
subtracting the first from the sum.
The number therefore Of the grains OF
wheat required to satisfy Sessa's de-
mand will be IS 446. .744 ,073. 709, ,551.615.
Now. ir a pint contains 9.216 grains
of wheat, a gallon will contain 1928.
and bushel (eight gallons) will con-
tain 5S9,7S4 Dividing the number OF
grains by this quantity. we get 1924 =
997.412.295 for the number Of bushes
necessary to discharge the promise OF
the Indian prince. And If we suppose
that one acre Of land Is capable OF pro-
ducing in one year thirty bushels OF
wheat it would require 1,042.499,913,743
acres. which is more than eight times
the entire surface of the globe for the
diameter of the earth being taken at
1890 miles. it's whole surface, fnclud-
ing land and water, will amount to
very little more than 126,437.S89.l77
square acres.
If the price of bushel of wheat be
estimated at 81 the value Of the above
quantity probably exceeds that of all
the riches on the earth.-Follies OF
Science.

CEDAR MOUNTAIN ORE
HOLDS ITS STRENGTH
Resource Of Beaver County
Property Grows Better With
Each Shift.

Among the interesting and valuable
mining properties Of Beaver county, that
OF the Cedar Mountain company is pro-
duclng results which speak eloqucntly
Of what can be expected upon the COM
pletiou OF the present campaign of de-
velopment work. Several days ago Sec
retary Barnett was In receipt Of news
to the effect that the management had
struck eight inches of extremely rich
ore In the drift on tho 225-foot level of
this property,
Monday morning Mr.. Barnett received
additional word that this vein was show
Ing up finely with exploration. The man
agement has drifted a distance OF over
twelve feet upon this orc up TO Saturday,
and the continued Improvement In the
ore, both as to extent and value, Is
matter OF much qualification to those
composing the official household OF the
Cedar Mountain.
The management Is pursuing It's ex-
ploratory work on the shaft. and al the
present time Is following three seams of
rich ore to greater depths, in addition to
continuing the drift upon the 226-foot
level. Secretary Barnett left for the
property Monday evening to make an In
spection of the recent developments,

LITTLE BELL OUTPUT
DURING LAST MONTH
Company's Shipments Net Over
Forty Thousand Dollars
in Thirty Days.

With q falthfuness In production which
Is the only logical conclusion from
the ideal nature of the resources at
hand. the Little Bell company continues
to bring It's ores 10 market and funds To
It's ever increasing treasury. TO the en-
tire satisfaction of all connected with
this Park City mining organization. The
report of President Solon Splro on the
shipments and receipts for the month OF
August just Issued speaks eloquently
for the ability OF the mine to meet all
expectations,
During August a total OF 944 tons OF
ore reached the valley smelters. These
shipments comprised lots of nineteen to
twenty-five, inclusive, From this amount
the company netted the snug sum Of
SAC. .3S6 30. Such q result would be
tribute to any property, even under dill
gent extraction, but the Little Bell has
made no effort TO push extraction in any
sense of the term. This ore, states Mr..
Spiro, is the result OF such extraction
made absolutely necessary In the regular
course OF development.
The present physical conditions in the
Little Bell mine are emnently salts
factory. The company has an enviable
record for the season 30 far, and every
thing points with certainty to a con-
tinued era Of prosperity for this organi-
zation.

Management Breaks Into Re-
source on Seven-Hundred-
Sixty Level Saturday.
CONTINUITY OF ORE
Is NOW ESTABLISHED
Stockholders at Annual Today
VIII Receive Good Report
of Developments.

At the annual gathering OF the New
York Mining company's stockholders, to
be held at noon today, President and
Manager McGlll will be able 10 mako
a report of conditions never before
equaled by this Park City mine. The
encountering of ore on the 760-foot level
last Saturday evening is one Of the
most significant developments Of the
past year. although such a consumma-
tion was not seriously doubted by the
management and friends OF the New York
who have studied carefully the system
Of development and results during that
time.
Mr. McGill stated TO The Tribune
Monday morning that Saturday evening
there were fifteen inches OF the same
character of rich ore had on the level
above toward the east. The management
has been drifting on the 760-foot level
toward the southeast from the winze
for some time, covering a total distance
OF 115 feet before encountering the
values now had On the 700-foot level
the management drove into this ore
body for distance OF 1l0 feet, and the
developments of last week give the COM
pany stopping ground Of at least so feet
In height. and for a length of 110 feet
at least. How much farther the body
Will extend must depend upon future de-
velopment.
While driving this southeast drift the
management ran into one foot of high
grade gelena ore. going as high as 11S
ounces silver. There was no attempt
made to explore this new resource at
the time, owing to the desire to reach
the mineral further on. which was the
objective point OF the work. Inter
esting disclosures may be looked for
when the management can proceed to
develop this intervening body. The
management has had the Same character
n IN ho
as that to the east for some time. and
everything at the New York is tending
to prove the wisdom OF the confidence
OF It's stockholders in remaining firmly
by the company during the past year Of
assessments.
President McGill arrived from Park
City Sunday aud will remain over for
the meeting today.

LITTLE CHIEF DEVELOPMENTS.
J. Oberndorfer Visits Property Where
Ore Is Encountered.

The steady climb of the stock of the
Little Chief company during the past
week from 4 cents per share TO lS cents
on Monday, has given rise TO much COM
ment regarding this stock and property.
j. Oberndorfer, one OF the officials of
the Little Chief company. returned Sun
day from an inspection OF the mine, and
stated Monday that the outlook for the
property was indeed bright.
The developments upon the S00-foot
level OF the mine are very interesting
MIR. Oberndorfer states that the manage
ment has driven through fully nifty feet
of ore. but he Is still unwilling to state
definitely about the ore being one large
body. The management will lose no time
In demonstrating this fact within this
drift, the entire bottom of which Is In
ore OF good grade. Eventually the com
pany will sink upon this new resource
and developments are being watched
with great interest In local circles. The
Little Chief property is in need o;
more capable equipment, and sinking
may be delayed until new machinery is
installed.
