Gold Dust From Arizona.

Ole P. Lee, son of Paul @. Lee of this
city, is young man that has travelled
extensively and seen much of the world.
Three years ago in company with young
Ellickson of Christiana he went to Africa
to take charge of tobacco growing en-
terprise. After returning home the row
ing spirit again took possession of him
and his relatives we're surprised to hear
he is again located in the mining dis
tricts of Arizona. The following inter
esting description of the camp is reprint
ed from the Cambridge News
Here I am again way down in what
some call the rear of creation, but it's
paradise compared with n E. Rhodesia,
Africa. [ am now located about two
hundred miles south and west from Ash
Fork, nine miles from the Santa Fe
branch of the Arizona and Cal. r. r.,
Salome being our nearest railroad point
This railway was not completed until
year ago. The country is generally
rough and mountainous, with large level
stretches practically barren outside of a
scattered bushes, shrubby trees and huge
cactuses.
There are no natural resources worthy
of mention outside of minerals in this
vicinity The country is full of minerals,
a man stubs his toe and knocks the top
off gold mine You go to bed at night
and wake up with gold filling in your
teeth. Ii a person go to sleep in the
open one night on the desert his pants
assays four ounces of gold to the pound,
and his whiskers will pan out about
thirty dollars net.
Well, without any Arizona boast, I
have no doubt that this section will 10
the course of reasonably short time
rank first in the production of copper
| Every indication points toward it, and
! believe that when some of the properties
now working develop a greater depth,
| copper will be found in large quantities.
The surface of the several districts has
been scratched yet with the possible ex-
ception Of few. There is not devel-
oped property in this section and when
some of the promising prospects are de-
veloped good copper mines will be the
| result.
There are about fifty men working at
this camp at present, half of which are
Mexicans. The Harqua Hala is mine
with record of 100000 of gold taken
out. 1t was abandoned by it's former
management when they thought all the
high grade ore was gone, but the new
company has made rich strikes recently
Not over five feet from where they left
off we took out pocket assaying thirty
two thousand dollars to the ton. That
is very rich and do not expect much oil
it, but we have in sight about fifteen
thousand tons of ore assaying from
thirty to several hundred dollars per tor
in gold. The stockholders are very en-
thusiastic over the property on account
Of it's fine showing, and shares have gone
up It dollars

fifth of this city were married in Chicago
Wednesday. The groom is the son of

exposition. They took with them seven
of Hereford cattle. four of which will be

this grade of stock and wherever exhib-
tied never fail to land blue ribbon or
more.

GAINESVILLE

When a shipment of dry goods from a
dry goods from New York firm was re-
ceiyed by j M Bostwick & Sons here
several of the crates were empty and $40
worth of notions were missing. The
goods were in a wreck in Ohio and it is
believed a portion were stolen at that
time.
At two o'clock Saturday afternoon the
fire department was called to the home
of James Croft at the corner of Cherry
and North streets, where an overheated
stove had ignited the floor. The flames
spread rapidly and before the depart
ment, by the use Of chemicals, could ex-
tinguish them damage amounting to
from 500 to $3.50 was done.
Alex Galbraith & Son exhibited six
horses at the International Live Stock
show in Chicago last week and were
very successful, having won six prizes in
all, including the $500 championship
cup donated by Judge More of New
York. This, the most valuable trophy
of the show, was offered for the best
hackney stallion, mare or gelding, shown
in harness and was won by Messrs Gal
braith's ''Ruby Radiant" horse that
had previously distinguished himself at
Kansas City Horse Show by winning
the Enelish Hackney Society gold medal
Mr. and Mrs Heber Helm, who live on
the road between Oxford and Brodhead,
had the misfortune to loose all their
farm buildings by fire within the past
week. On Thanksgiving evening short
ly after six o'clock the tobacco shed
burned to the ground with its contents.
Friday evening the barn burned togeth-
er with the day in it and four head of
cattle which Mr. Helm was unable to
save. On Monday evening the house
and it's contents burned to the ground.
Rev Irl Hicks delivered very inter
esting lecture on the solar system and
the relation of the planets to the science
of weather forecasting, at the Cargill
Methodist church Friday evening.
Helpful charts of the heavens were
used in explaining various phases of the
subject discussed. The wel-known
prognosticator is convinced that weather
conditions on this earth depend almost
entirely on the conditions obtaining
among the other worlds around it and
makes his arguments convincing.

ALARM OVER CHINA,
ARMY OFFICIALS FEAR CRISIS
IN FAR EAST.
Preparations for Outbreak Being
Made by General Staff-Mission-
aries Advised to Keep in Touch
with Treaty Ports.

Reports have come TO members of
the general staff of the army from
China that are more alarming than
are the reports which have become
public property, writes a Washington
correspondent Staff members are
the Chinese situation and are making
preparations for crisis in the eastern
empire.
Notwithstanding the Discrimination
shown thus far by Congress to pro-
vide for the proper quartering of more
troops in the Philippines, it is almost
unquestionably the intention of the
army chiefs to reinforce the island
garrison with regiments in addition
to those now on the high seas on the
way to Manila.
The general staff has had its hand
on the pulse of China for months. Sew
eral army officers recently returned
from that country, and their reports
of conditions have not relieved the
tension Of mind of the chiefs. One
of the members of the general staff
who recently arrived from China, and
who visited Shanghai, Canton and Pc
king and made trips through various
parts of the country, says that in his
opinion there is only one thing which
can prevent immediate trouble in the
Flowery Kingdom. He declares that
the natives are ready to rise against
the foreigner at the present time, but
that they are held in check by the
more intelligent leaders, who tell them
to wait a while and that then they

which she accidentally set fire to her
clothing The coroner is investigating the
case The girl desired to become a nurse.
Lillian Fears. a 3-year-old inmate of the
home. was suffering from a small cut on
the arm, and Miss Elmer attempted 10
readjust the bandages. In doing so she
knocked over a kettle of boiling water
that scalded the child's arm badly. Re
morse for the accident caused Miss Elmer
much suffering. 1t is believed that she
gained the idea she could atone for the
accident by burning herself on the arm.
She was seen by other children holding
her bare arm over a CRATE fire so that the
flames touched the bare flesh She had
been sobbing and bemoaning The accident
to the child a moment before. Before any
one could interfere her clothing caught
fire and she was soon enveloped in flames.

ton of the Pennsylvania railroad had

With due respect to other good roads
east of Chicago the New York Central
lines were unconsciously laid out by Com
modore Vanderbilt so that as a finished
product they represent a water course
rather than a railway system. They
were built on lines of least resistance
and flow from the Mississippi to the At
lantic like number of streams tributary
to one big one. The peculiar feature of
the New York Central system is that the
different lines feed naturally On a water
level grade from the middle West to the
Atlantic ocean, while not another road
escapes the high grades and mountains.

are in the United States.

OF these seven cities New York, Chi
cago and Cleveland were the only ones
that showed an increase of more than 30
per cent in the decade between 1890 and
1900. St Louis had 27.3 per cent; Bos-
ton, 25.1; Philadelphia, 23.6, and Balti-
more, 17.2. Under the new dispensation
St. Louis would go soaring. Her percent
age of increase would leap far beyond
that of Chicago in the last decade. 1t
would be less than the Chicago rate be-
tween 1880 and 1890, but it would be on
some accounts much more remarkable.
For St. Louis has not been conspicuous
as a racer.
Precedents are rudely overturned also
in the case of Philadelphia. Starting
with a population some 100000 less than
that of Chicago, that city is given an
absolute increase nearly equal to Chi
cagos and a considerably larger relative
increase, also to the confusion of prece-
dents. These are the most notable of the
predictions, and it is evident that they
have little relation to past gains.
Cleveland is given an increase of about
go per cent, as against 46 per cent in the
last decade, but a very high rate was to
have been expected from her past growth.
On the other hand, Chicago is dropped
from "a per cent to about So per cent.
Her precedents are knocked into smith
Greens to her very great disadvantage.
In building increases in cost for 1905
over 1904 were: New York, go per cent

COURT UPHoLDs TAGGART.

Decision Giving Father Custody of
the Two Boys Is Sustained.
Judges Of the Circuit Court in Woos-
ter, Ohio, refused TO grant the continu-
nnce asked for in the Taggart case be
cause of tile absence of Mrs. Taggart.
Capt Taggart was examined as to his
ability to take care of the boys. The
court then decided that the order of the
court below should stand as to Taggart's
custody of the boys, but reserved to Mrs.
Taggart the right to come into the Cir
cult Court in the future and show that
she is a proper person and able to care
for the boys. In the meantime Mrs. Tag
CART is understood to be in Paris with
her boys and it is said will remain there
until Capt. Taggart departs with his regi-
ment for the Philippines.
