LONDON, Jan. 1S.-According to in
formation received here. the Kingston
horror is growing. Communication with
the island is partially restored, and
every message that comes through
brings fresh details of the appalling
catastrophe.
The number of dead is placed vari-
ously at from five to twelve hundred,
and the number of injured runs into
the thousands. Ten thousand people
are said to be homeless. The danger
of famine has Increased. and With it
stalks the specter Of pestilence.
The shores OF the harbor of Kingston
are reported to be sinking and there is
terror lest the ruined city slip into the
sea- The wafer in many places in the
harbor, it is reported. is now a hum
dred feet deep. Every wharf not de-
stroyed by fire is said to have sunk
into the water or to have been rem
dered worthless.
The business section of the city has
been wiped out, and the estimates of
damage range from $10,000,000 to $25,
100000.
The Plum Point and Port Royal light
houses are both at the bottom of the
harbor, The navigation channel has
materially changed, and in some places
the depth of the harbor has been alter
ed by from forty to sixty feet.
1t is reported that the Hamburg
American steamer Prinz Waldemar,
which reached Kingston from New
York on Jan 3. is ashore at Plum point.
The earthquake came as sudden
oscillation, not from any particular di-
rection, but up and down.
Thousands of persons were on the
streets of Kingston at the time, and
great numbers of them were crushed.
Many Americans in Kingston were
killed and have been buried.

Delamar Will Sell
For $1O,OOO,OO

E. H. Wilson and H. C. Bal
linger, experts for F. Augustus
Heinze, the Montana copper
man, have been in camp
examining the big Bluestone
mine, the property of Captain
DeLamar. Upon the report of
Messrs. Wilson and Ballinger
depend, more than likely, the
sale of the property to Heinze
for a figure in the neighborhood
of $40, 900, 900. So far as can be
learned Mr.. Wilson'S report will
will be favorable. He is very
enthusiastic about this entire
district, and believes that it is
going to make the biggest cop
per camp ever heard of.
The Bluestone mine consists of
over twenty claims, and lies
about three miles west of Yer
ington and within plain view of
the town. 1t was formerly the
property of H. E. Miller and
associates, and was in 1901, OPP
Grated to some extent by the
Excelsior Company, company
made up of Butte people, with
c. H. Batterman as president
and general manager. A smell
ter was erected on the property
and considerable of the best ore
in the mine was worked. Cop
per was then low getting down
to 10 cents sand upon the death
of Mr.. Batterman the company
dissolved and the property re-
verted to Mr.. Miller and associ-
ates.
1t is a well known fact that
Captain DeLamar will sell any
thing he has in the way of mines
if he gets his price. The report
is current in Boston and Salt
Lake that he has fixed the price
for the Bluestone at $40, 900, 900.
Mr.. Heinze has the reputation
OF getting what he goes after.
If he concludes that he wants
the Bluestone after his experts
report on it he will get it. The
report is more than likely to be
better than former ones, even,
as much more ore and a better
grade of ore has been opened up
since the last report on the mine
was made.

Early Day Happenings
-. In Phoebe 49,

Continuing from the issue of
the Ely Record of Phoebe, dated
June 20, 1871, the following
items are taken:
A number of teams, OK and
mule, arrived in town on Tues
day with freight for Jacobs &
Sultan, Phi Felsenthal and others.
The bull teams made the trip as
quick as the mule teams and at
far less expense, making a diff
erence of over 5000 to one mer-
chant.
Wells, Fargo & Co. shipped,
on June 18th and 9th, through
their agent, B. F. Sides, by way
of Salt Lake, bullion valued at
$25, 317.97. On June 22nd and
oath the same company shipped
to Salt Lake, bullion valued at
$S1, 709.96.

made by these two road agents
did not exceed $500 in all. No

A Philadelphia physician says that

told him to take an ounce of whisky

he made another visit and found the
man, while not so sick, undeniably

VENEZUELA is INVADED.
Force from British Guiana Crosses
Boundary and Seizes Balata.

Georgetown, British Guiana, Aug. 10.
Much excitement has been caused
here by the invasion of Venezuelan
territory by Capt. Calder in the COM
mand of small frontier force from
British Guiana, and his seizure of a
quantity of balata (the gum of the
bullet-tree, used for insulating wires,
etc. which it is alleged had been col
lected on British territory.
Capt. Calder's force went down the
Barima river and crossed the boundary
into Venezuelan territory, where
Capt. Calder, at the point of re-
volver, demanded that the Venezuelan
commissioner surrender to him 1000
pounds of balata The commissioner
gave up the gum. He has made pro-
test, however, to President Castro
and the British consul here against
the seizure of the balata and the in
vasion Of Venezuelan territory. Fears
are entertained of retaliation at
headquarters. There has been much
trouble over the balata trade for some
time and the British officials have
made strong attempts to prevent H.
licit trading in the gum.

The Sexes In America.

America is the field in which will
oe tremendously adjusted the differ.
ences of das Ewig- Weibliche and the
eternal domineering male. Woman
is not inferior to man but different
from him, as Stendhal would say.
Nevertheless, the two sexes are SLOW
ly approaching, declares James
Huneker, in Everybody's Magazine.
The man Of to-day is more fem
mime than his predecessors; that
is, he is more gentle, civilized;
while the woman, casting away old
fashioned incrusting prejudices, is
more masculine, i. e., she is not only
more athletic in her tastes than her
grandmother-she is mentally broader
and firmer in her judgments. (Some
day she will be so far evolved" that
she will be charitable to her own
sex). The franker association of the
sexes has proved tonic to the woman,
refining to the man. These are school
boy truisms, but they will always
stand quotation.

Bringing Up a Boy.

Is the average village the most DIFF.
ficult place In which to bring up" a
boy? The farm boy is sent alone
with the team into the wood lot two
miles back in the hills, and told sim
ply to get wood. He deals with
broken harness, a balky horse, trees
new-fallen across the road; fails,
gives up, cries, arises, and two hours
late for dinner comes out with load
OF wood and an increment of charac-
ter good for life. The city boy sees
every one doing something intensively,
feels, like the farm boy, the isolation
OF his own personality, and finally
takes off his coat and goes in to play
the game. The village youth, how
ever, Is likely to lean on one foot
