COAL IN cocHIsE.
A New Field Reported From the Vi-
 cinity of Stein's Pass.

F. G. Downey and T. T. Swift re- centl5- went to Stein's pass to survey some coal ground that MT. Downey had located some time before The location is between Stein's pass and the Chiricahua mountains, in Cochise county. One vein is known to be at least fifteen feet in width, where the croppings appear on the surface. tnd the coal is pronounced to be genuine and of high class. As soon as the survey had been completed, it is sad that MT. Downey sold 2 half interest to some Eastern capitalist, and then went to California. As soon as he re- turns it is believed that work will be started on the claims.-Prospector.

THE cARRIGAN MINE.
Owners Planning Extensive Develop
 me-t and a Stamp Mill.

"We have one of our shafts now down to 9 depth of 1O1 feet, and the ore is, if anything richer than ever" said T. J. Carrigan to a number of his acquaintances on board the Daylight Express as he exhibited a sack of ore, the pieces of which were literally speclled with gold.
 we have let a contract to crosscut the entire vein or deposit" he said; "the extent of which we have not yet determined, but we will continue this crosscut until we find the walls and make thorough tests as to the char acter and value Of the different ores found at this depth. The crosscut will tap the mountain at a depth of APO feet from where the apex of the deposit appears above us, and where we first found ore of such startling value in boulders which had become detached from the ledge many years ago by the elements. We are now planning Co erect 2 2O-stamD mill"
 Further continuing, he said that he had visited all of the places in his neighbOrhoOd upon which locations had been made since the wonderful discovery in which he is interested and found that ore of great value had been taken out os several Of them.
 Frank Burns, who is operating for the Liberty Gold Mining company, q short distance from this camp. is get ting out ore as rich in gold and copper as any found in that district, and the Moro mines, also in the same section, were showing up as well as any, the ore there being of the same general character as at his and the Liberty mines-Journal-M Miner.

UNCLE JOE AND MIR. STEPHENS.

There had been promised by a cer- tain magazine that one of it's contrib utors will put Washington and it's pub lie men on the griddle soon and sig
 gle them in the same fashion that the writer has served many other cities and their officials
 In accordance wit lis plan the able
 writer and critic has been in the na- tional capital Interviewing some of its leading spirits and taking notes
 Among the number subjected to this process of ante-mortem dissection and examination is that rare and racy character, Speaker Cannon. The se- anee with Uncle Joe was bound to be an interesting occasion, though the in terviewer might feel slightly uneasy
 as to the particular manner in which the Speaker would make it interest
 ing for him.
 The Cleveland Leader gives what Is supposed to be a veracious report of
 the interview. MT Lincoln Stefens
 was the gentleman who wanted to
 know, you know, and Uncle Joe was sauvely Odating. The interview 1t is said was rather formidable in its
 range of topics, hut the speaker sat ! "squarely on the back of his neck and had consumed eleven cigars by the
 time it was over"
 Then the Speaker slowly unsoiled himself, arose. and laying a paternal hand on Mir. Steffens's shoulder, said: MT. Steffens, you are a mighty bright young man. You wield a ready
 and faciIe pen. I might even call .t trenchant ! am glad you came to WashingtOn-glad for your sake and
 for the country's.
 MT. Stefens''-the Speakers voice ! grew even more earnest-"do you know what I would do if I owned you? I mean if l had control Of you as your
 publishers have? Well, I'd keep you here in Washington quite a spell. I'd
 give you plenty of time to go to the bottom of things. I'd have you study a great deal of law, saturate your self with Blackstone. as it were, and then I'd have you take up the con stitution and study that in the light of the law you had learned. And then I'd have you turn your attention to the organization of this government take the various departments to pieces and put them together again, as it were. And then I'd have you take up our public men the president. the members of his cabinet, and the lead CTS of cOngress-and subject them to the closest scrutiny-sort O turn an X-ray on them, as it were. And then "a long pause-"after about ten years I'd have you write something. 'I don't know" said the Speaker. as he bowed the explorer out of the room,
 but that I'd have you devote twenty years to stud before beginning to write.
 There are some readers who may be inclined to suspect that there was q vein of satire in this long paternaI ad- dress, but MT. Steffens takes his mis- sion too seriously to share in that sus- | picion. If he had not exhausted the time at the Speakers disposal he would without doubt have endcavored to convince Uncle Joe that the latter s 1 plan wouldn't do at all. It would con sume so much time that the American people would themselves right most Of the evils he was so earnestly endeav- bring to correct and then where would he and the magazine come in?-RO-
 chester Democrat Chronicle.

On the Invention of Whisky.

The name Of the man who first
staggered humanity by the inven-
ton of whisky is lost in the mists
of the middle ages, and all the in
genuity of counsel now employed
in trying to find out what whisky
is has failed to disclose his identity.
The fiery potion was known in Eng
land in the eleventh century, but in
Scotland not till the fourteenth.
But Scotland made up for lost time.
She gave the bright liquid its allur-
ing name, the water Of life" and
made its production a cottage indus
try OF noble proportions. When the
exccrable exciseman descended upon
the village she carried the still to
the lonely hills. We in these days
are inclined TO forget that Glenlivet,
the home of the smuggler, would
never have achieved its bacchanalian
fame but for absurd Georgian Ii
censing laws directed against the in
dividual still and not against the
magnitude of its output.-London
Chronicle.

A Curious Lake,

Bridger lake, in northwest Wy

and one which cannot be claimed
for any other body Of water in
America. 1t has this popularity
1t discharges its waters into both
the Pacific ocean and the gulf of
Mexico. During the average sea
sons the waters Of Bridger lake flow
out through small river which is
tributary to the Yellowstone, and
the water thus discharged finally
reaches the gulf by way of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers. Dur
ing rainy seasons the level Of the
lake becomes SO high that the waters
empty through another opening
also. The waters which are discharg-
ed through this second chasm flow
into Snake river and thence to the
Pacific ocean through the Column
