Good Strike Made by Woman.

Reliable information reached here yesterday from the Bradshaw noun tains of very rich strike of high grade silver ore made few days ago by Mrs. Jennie E. Clarke, the pioneer woman prospector of that region. The new find was made in the vicinity of the great Peck mine, which has a rec ord in silver production of over 3,OOO,- OOO$, although it's vein has never been opened to any extent below the 6OO- foot level.
 Samples of Mrs. Clarke's strike as- saved several hundred ounces in silver to the ton. She owns number of other promising claims in the district, but she is so elated over her latest strike that she intends to devote her entire time to its development, and for the present, at least, discontinue prospecting operations on the others. Mrs. Clarke has been a resident of the district for several years, and has de- voted large portion of her time to prospecting. Since the death of her husband, about two years ago, she has resided at Turkey station.-Tucson Citizen.

Incidentally, the Amherst plant is said to be the first application of this idea on the American continent. The parties responsible for the inovation are the Maritime Coal, Railway & Power company, operating the Jog gins and Chignecto coal mines, and the Joggins railway. The mines are eight miles from the town of Amherst.
 A considerable portion of the output of the mine is culm, a practically waste variety of slack coal, which is largely employed at other Nova Scotia colleries for road building and ballast ing. This material will now be util- ized at Chignecto as source of power and revenue.
 The power plant develops at present about 600 horsepower. Four furnaces are installed, three being used and one being held in reserve. Provision has been made for the addition of second unit of three furnaces when sufficient demands for increased power necessi- tate it.
 The immediate market for the power is the town of Amherst, a growing manufacturing centre. The transmits sion line is six and one-quarter miles from the transforming station at Am herst. The line carries Il, ,OOO voltage. From the mine to the furnaces the waste coal is transferred by gravity slide and fed to the furnaces automat- ically and without any handling.-Bos- ton Commercial.

A City Without Saloons.

Hon. c. w. Trickett, assistant at. torney general of Kansas, has recently made the following statement with re- gard to the closing of saloons in Kan sas City and the effect thereof:
 This city is the metropolis of Kan sas, with a population of about loo, 900. The inhabitants are largely wage earners and represent every national ity. We are located on the border, only an invisible line separating us from Kansas City, Mo. The city ranks fifth in the list of manufacturing cities of the United States.
 One year ago there were 256 saloons in this county, POO gambling dens and about 60 houses of social evil. Today there is not saloon, no open gamb- ling den, nor a disorderly house. It is the largest city in the world with out these dens of vice, and as we have now existed about twelve months with out them it affords living example of the fact that a large city can grow and prosper without such evils.
 At the commencement of the contest large number of our people thought it would ruin business and destroy our prosperity, but it has stimulated busi- ness in all lines. Our population has increased at greater rate than ever before. The deposits of the banks have gained by one and one-half mill ion dollars.
 The attendance in our public schools has increased largely, and we have had to employ IS additional teachers. The teachers inform us thaG this in crease is largely of boys and girls of from F to 16 years of age, who prior to the closing of the saloons were com pelled to assist in supporting the fam. lily by reason of the father spending his wages for drink.
 The charitable institutions report a reduction of more than two-thirds in the demand for aid. Prior to the clos ing of the joints we sent from fifteen to twenty-five young men to the re. formatory every year. In the twelve months since closing we have sent but two. The expenses for prosecuting criminals have been reduced 25,OO0S per annum. Expense for the police force has been reduced as much more Union Signal.

Lightning Dries Up Spring.

During a severe storm on Friday in the lower part of this county near East Prospect, the lightning struck a large chestnut tree on the farm of George Anstine. The shock burst the tree asunder, and then the electricity disappeared into a spring at the base of the tree.
 The old spring seemed never failing and had quenched the thirst of the people on the farm for more than 100 years. When the lightning struck it the course of the water was entirely changed and the spring had disap- peared as though it never existed.- York Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press.

Caught and hard hit by the recent slump in copper stock, Duey & Over lock, who operate brokerage offices in Douglas and Bisbee, went into bank ruptcy last week making voluntary assignment for the benefit of their creditors. Shortly after the Bisbee and Douglas offices of Duey & Over- lock failed to open at the regular hour, they issued a notice that they had made an assignment for the benefit of those to whom they are indebted. Harry Duey, senior member of the firm, went from Douglas to Tom bstone in an automobile to perfect the assign ment. The financial difficulty of his firm was not learned until after he had hastily left the city, and no statement of the firms assets or liabilities could be obtained. An extensive business has been done by Duey & Over- lock in both Douglas and Bisbee, their clients numbering hundreds of ulucTS anu OuoiuCoo ihOh, dS Wcll dS professional stock spectators. How clients of the firm will fare could not be learned, though it is thought that all who have money due them from Duey x Overlook will suffer in great CT or less degree. Duey & Overlook first opened brokerage offices in Bisbee in a small way between three and four years ago, and gradually branch ed out until they were doing the big gest business in Warren district cop per stocks. The assignment, which came unannounced or unexpected, has caused some excitement, and many who take fright easily are calling on the other brokers. of the district. It is thought that none of the others will suffer more than what would follow a temporary rush. The recent slump in the stock market has caught many others in the Warren district, small fortunes being swept away in several instances. The continued decrease ir prices has caused the majority of the spectators to throw their holdings or the market which has helped to keer prices going down. Duey & Overlook will protect their creditors as far as possible.-American.
