PLEASANT RIDGE.

Mining is the order of the day in
this locality. Prospecting will soon
start on the farm of Ell. Hoffman.
Mr.. Hoffman and Henry Mankel
will do the work. It is reported that
a sheet of lead crops out of the
ground on the hill side.
Mr.. and Mr.. Knotwell spent Sun
day at her brothers, Jim Gates of
BeetOwn.
Ben Bass, little girl who broke
her limb is improving.
The prospect on Walkers farm
shows up fine.
Henry Adams, Henry Pink, Martin
Hendricks, have leased part of their
farms for mining purposes.
L. Damn will move on the old
Westing farm in March and Mr.. Groin
will move on the Damn farm.
Miss Gusta Groshong is spending
this week at Will Wards.
Will Ward will start a new
drill IN the spring so as to run two
machines on the same contract, as
this can be done with three men
and save one man, as men are hard
to get; this will be quite a saying.

Why She Did 1t.

A lady received the following reply
from a neighbor in answer to the
question why she allowed her chill
dren and husband to litter up ev-
cry room in the house, and the SEN
timent will find Judgement in the
heart of every home-lOving person
in the land:
1.-The marks of little muddy feet up
on the clean floor can be easier re
removed than when these little feet
go down in the mud of the highway
to evil. The prints of the little fin
gers on the window pane cannot shut
out the sunshine half so we'll as the
shadows that darken the mothers
heart over that one who is but a
name through the coming years.
And if my John finds his home a ref
uge from care and trouble, and his
greatest happiness within its four
walls, he can put his boots in the
rocking chair and hang his coat on
the floor every day in the week.
And if | can stand it and he enjoys
it, I cannot see that it is anybody's
business"

An Error Corrected.

Misled by the name, and by the
fact that it is a southern play, an
prevails that "a Rom
ance Of Coon Hollow" is a negro
show. This is great mistake, as
the entire cast is composed of we'll
known white artists of standing,
and the colOred buck dancers and
jubilee singers are simply introduced
IN their plantation scenes to IL
lustrate negro life in the south, but
have no relation to the story Of the
drama. The latter is a pretty
Southern love story, natural and
pastoral in its treatment, and what
the New York Herald styled "A
Southern Old Homestead"
Splendid scenic environments,
novel electrical effects, laugha BILE
incidents, and specialties appropriate
to the comedy, embellish as sincere
a heart story as is to be seen on the
stage today. "A Romance of Coon
Hollow now in its eleventh season.
with the same scenery, effects and
company used in the original pro-
duction in New York, will be given
at Reeds opera house Feb. 5.

Onions for Pneumonia.

That dread disease pneumonia is
prevalent in many portions of the
country and many cases are proving
fatal.
Here is aTremedy advanced by a
prominent physician, which is simple
and said to be superior to any others
known:
Take six to ten onions, according
to size, and chop fine, put in a large
spider over a hot fire, then add the
same quantity Of rye meal and
vinegar enough to form a thick
paste. In the meanwhile STIR it
thoroughly, letting it simmer five
or ten minutes. Then put it III a cot
ton bag large enough to cover the
lungs and apply to the chest as hot
as the patient can bear. In about
ten minutes apply another and thus
continue by relocating the poultices,
and in few hours the patient will
be out of danger. The simple re-
medy has never failed to cure this
too often fatal malady. Usually
three or four applications will be
sufficient but continue always till
the perspirarion starts freely from
the chest. This remedy was form
ulated many years ago by one of the
best physicians New England has
ever known, who never lost a patti
ent by the disease, and won his
renown by simple remedies.

Mining Notes.

Albert Stein BORN, interested IN
the Lancaster Exploration mining
company, sold one-half share of
stock for $3.50 The company is
sinking a shaft, having struck the
first opening and will be in the Sc
cond opening in a few days. Have
found plenty of lead in sinking and
expect to strike large quantity of
lead in next opening. This mine
lays one mile west of the Knapp
mine in Kendletown.
*x*
The Pigeon Enterprise Mining
company has contracted with John
Dechow and John Philips to drill
on land leased of III Adams.
~
The Potosi district is in some ways
the richest in the leadmine district.
The ore found there is said to be of
better quality than that found in
other places. The United States
geological survey shows that the
mineral is more concentrated, and
produces more ore to the square
yard than any other place IN the
district. The district has been
worked with more or less success
for years, and in places great bodies
of lead have been taken out. A
few years ago solid chunk, weigh
ing 10000 pounds, was found in
one Of the mines at that place. The
miners were compelled to blast it
before it could be removed. This IS
the largest piece of ore ever found
IN one solid chunk.
-
Many Lancaster citizens desire
seeing some drilling done within
the corporation and there is talk of
forming a company and drilling on
the Garside property now owned
and occupied by W. L. Miller, in
the western part of the city.
~
Last fall it was predicted that
mining interest would lessen durirg
the winter months. Such has not
been the case. Operations have in
creased and more investors are
seen in this district than
ever before. More land is being
leased, new companies are being
formed and when spring arrives it
is expected thaO mining will has
reached a record.
~
Black jack of good quality has
been struck on the Battle farm in
South Lancaster by Hal Stephens
and Lewis Eggers who are drilling
there.
~
The Mineral Point zinc works is
at present employing 400 men and
the plant is operated day and night
The value Of the plant is estimated
at $3,OOO,OOO.
~
Lead is bringing the highest price
in years. The past week it COM
maLded $84. For tie past several
weeks it has been advancing in
price 50 a week. Jack commands
from $45 to $54 ton.
~
The Wisconsin and Iowa Develop
ment company has been organized.
It has leases on lands in the vicinity
of Louisburg and Falrplay.
~

Newfoundland Cabinet and Mer-

ST. Johns N F Oct 1.-THE Cabinet met to-
night to consider the advisability OF policy or
pronouncement against the modus vivendi be-
tween the British and American governments
relative to the Newfoundland fishing grounds.
Leading fish merchants also met tonight ana

The organ of the Opposition blanes the Pre-
mier for the whole trouble declaring that the
neonIa of this colony do not want to quarrel
with Americans. but the Premier is forcing the
fight to obtain revenge upon American hshermen
because his reciprocity project was blocked.
Oficial circles deny the statements. appearing
In a London dispatch, that Newfoundland Will
not consent 70 an equitable compromise on the
fishery question They insist that the modus
yivendi is absolutely inequitable in that 1t allows
Americans TO hire colonists which is conces-
sion exceeding their treaty rights and one wnoliy
