BURNT CLAY FOR HIGHWAYS.
Good Roads Made From Gumbo In the
State Of Mississippi,

State OF Mississippi.
Congress some time ago established
an ONCE Of public roads, which Is in

devise methods for improving the
roads of the United States. The office
has done a great deal to arouse inter-

roads economically. The latest dis
covery Is that Of burning clay roads In
Mississippi.
In large areas In the south, particu-
larly in the valleys of the Mississippi
and it's tributaries, sedimentary clays
are found very generally. In these
areas there IL little or no sand and
the clays are Of a particular plastic

into the dock at the Old Bailey and
bowed to the presiding judge. The
sourt was thronged. and amongst the
audience were q hundred ladies Of he

and a great gathering Of barristcrs and
Journalists. The prisoner himself was
less the center Of interest than the
case. The Brangwyn mystery. which
had from time to time startled and be-
vildered Great Britain, was to be
solved at last.
The action OF the crown ut the pre-
liminary hearing had prepared every
body TO anticipate q merely formal
sentence, and Aloysius was secure In
the sympathy Of every person in the
crowded chamber. He had, indeed.
something Of the martyrs halo about
him. and an he stepped upon the scene
Q murmur filled the court. He was un-
changed to those who knew him. the
same settled and unalterabls sadness.
He was attired In his usual scrupulous

done, a gentleman In heart and mind.

II came a fortnight later than the
last. He was seated in the studio
smoking his cigar and watching Alexis
at work. He was watching critically
and was eager to be OF use.
Come here!" he called, suddenly.
81 think | can point you TO an idea
there. The idea OF the naked blade
IL good and the fact that 1t hangs q
little out of the perpendicular is good,
because II indicates the strenuous hold
upon II. But don't you see that IL 1t
hung Just so much the other way It
fold In the drapery which 1t over-ac-
centuates Just now? You want a d.
vergance from that line-not a con.
frmation Of It,"
"H'm!" said Alexis, standing back to
look. Il don't know. There's a GER
tain straight simplicity in what I've
got. Take your coat off, old man, and
show me exactly what you mean.
There's a blouse hanging there in the
corner"
Aloysius rose, removed his coat,
turned back the cuffs OF his shirt, and
assumed the characteristic toga of the
modeller In clay.
II sha'n't damage the skeleton?" he
asked.
"Oh, moi" said Alexis. The frame.
work is all properly jointed. It'll stand
the angle you want, any way"
Aloysius set to work. The Joint
went rustily, and some of the clay
broke or slid from the grasping hand,
but he repaired the mischief with deX-
ferrous fingers. and roughly readJusted
the modelling OF the blade which he
had destroyed In altering it's posture.
YES" said Alexis, that's distinctly
better"
About that head now" said Alloy
sius. You haven't got quite the pose
I wanted. Pass me those steps, and.
whilst I'm at it, I'll show you what !
mean"
Alexis brought the steps and he
mounted them nimbly with a lump OF
clay in one hand. which he clapped on
Boadicea's shoulder like an epaulette
II broke the iady's neck last night,
said Alexis. You'll find her ductile.
That's II. [ see II better from here
than you can. That's II to a hair. But
It minimizes the value of that wave In
the name. Just lay on the eighth OF
an inch"
These eyes, said Aloysius. Hand
me q tool, Alex"
His cousin passed a lockwood gouge
10 him and he labored for a minute.
Then. after a bit OF delicate modelling
at the eyeiid. he ran down the ladder
and crossed the room, where he lald
q hand on Alexis shoulder.
Aloysius had dropped the lockwood
tool into a pocket of h blouse, and
feeling for 1t with intent to set 1t In
its place, he brought out something
else with Il. His hand was still upon
his cousins shoulder, and Alexis felt
him start violently. The eyes OF the
two men fixed on the same object and
they met for one second. Aloysius held
IN his hand a small blue phial, labelled
In red ink, Poison. Chloroform,"
"Great heaven!" gaspsd the younger
man. and shrank end covered.
The phial fell from the elders hand
and cracked upon the floor. The choK
ing. sickly odor OF the drug rose
pungently. They looked at each other
once again. Aloysius with a gaze OF
accusation and horror, Alexis with a
rurtiye terror which shrank away.
that glance told all, and they parted
without one further word.

so they get 1t.
The so-called administration meas
ures which have been advocated in the
last campaign will not be allowed to
lie idle, as they were practically all
started on their way on the first day
on which bills could be introduced.
Most of them carry emergency clauses
which would put them into operation
as soon as passed and leave no delay
in their going into effect.
Representative Glass of Codington
presented most of the administration
bills in the house. including the pri-
mary election, anti-pass, providing
penalties for campaign contributions
by corporations. requiring reports OK
campaign expenses to be made by par
ty committees to proper designated OIL
ficers, and providing penalties for lob
bying on the part of corporations. The
reciprocal demurrage measure was
presented by Whittemore Of Hamlin.
In the senate like bills were intro
duced by Senators Cook. Dillon and
Bvrne, with the addition OF the EN-
~ployers' liability or fellow servant act
by Senator Jenkins of Brookings. A
long list of minor bills was presented.
and the first day record Of any past
session was broken with forty bills
and resolutions, the rushing OF the ad-
ministration bills being the cause or
the large number.
In the senate a number of commit

both the supreme court and the rail-
road commission to five members, a$h
the board Of charities and corrections
may be put back to the old number OF
five, from which it was reduced W
years ago
The judiciary bill has been dis
cussed through the press for some
time, but the railroad commission
is something new, and if car
ried out will be in the line of giving
the administration d commission in
harmony with it, to assist in carrying
out the proposed railway reform bill
which. it is expected, will be passed
at the session.
Practically all the bills Of that'class
have now been introduced, the last
one being by Glass, in the house, to
grant the state assessment board
greater powers in the assessment of
railway property, and by jenkins, in
the senate, changing the mode of tax
alton from the uniform to the group
system, making it possible to tax cor
poration earnings. The general opin-
ion at present is that all the reform
measures will be enacted, although, it
may be impossible to get them all
through with the emergency clause at
tached to put them into effect at once.
Among the principal bills Saturday
in the house was the one by Hebal, to
raise the minimum price for state
school lands from $40 to $40 per acre;
providing for a state fire marshal; by
Carver, for parole of reform school in
mates.

STRIKE ON SALMON RIVER
Erwin Brothers Find Stringer From
Which Five Pounds Yield $1,000.

Grangeville correspondence in Lewis
ton Tribune says: News of one of the
richest quartz strikes ever made in
Idaho has just been brought out from
the Marshall Lake camp on Salmon
river by Sheriff Greene. An inch
stringer on the hanging wall of one of
the claims comprising the Irwin Broth
ers property, shows values reaching into
the thousands of dollars per ton. The
richness of the ore may be judged from
the fact that 81, 900 was mortared out
of few pounds Of ore. The ledge on
this rich claim is four feet wide and ab-
solutely free milling.
The Irwin Brothers are we'll known
figures in the camp and their good for
tune is welcome news to their many
friends. The ledge extends through the
different claims and development work
has brought out its richness. The Mar
shall Lake ore is practically all free
milling and the recent strike has proved
its richness beyond doubt. There are
a number of mills in the camp and all
are engaged in reducing the ore.
1t is understood to be the plans of the
Irwin Brothers to scientifically mine
their property during the coming spring
and the stringers encountered will be
exhausted of their values as soon as
they are located.
Sheriff Greene brings information of
great activity, at Marshall Lake and
next year promises to be one of the
brightest in the history of the camp.

MINING NEWS IN BRIEF
FROM NEARBY DISTRICTS

at the Mining News office.
These samples should be gathered and
shipped as soon as possible as the COM
pany wants to know the values and
kinds of ore so as to have engineers on
the ground shortly after the snow goes
off in the spring.
Mr.. DeKeyser stated to the Mining
News scribe that, he thought the new
plant will be built on the Clearwater
near the plant Mrs. Holborn will build
in the spring. The spot is centrally To-
coted, being accessible from properties
in both the Orogrande and the Elk City
districts, and the stream offering suffic-
lent power to run the dynamoes and
supply water for the company's needs.
Wagon roads will be built to the plant
by the company, and, if business war
rants, electric car lines will be con-
structed to connect the plant and the
big producers. A bank will be estab-
lished in Elk City and money will be ad-
vanced to owners to develop promising
prospects. ,,
When Mr.. DeKeyser returns to Elk
City he will visit the Dixie district and
look up the prospects for establishing a
mill there.

An o. R. & N. Crew Has Started
Work Along the Middle Fork.
SURVEY TO LocKsAw
Work Along River This Winter and on
Upland m Early Spring.
The Lewiston Daily Tribune of

The Lewiston Daily Tribune of
week ago says:
Arrivals from Kooskia bring
the information that one of the
crews of the O. R., & N. survey
ors, who have been working on
the Clearwater for several weeks,
has just moved camp to Kooskia
and is working up the Middle
fork of that stream. The party
is in charge of Engineer S. A.
Cobb who is directing all the
work of the company above Lew
iston. At the time the men were
put in the field it was stated one
of the crews would follow the
preliminary line, run by the Mil
Waukee surveyors last spring
when a survey was made of the
Lolo pass to a point below Koos-
kia, and the appearance of the
0. R. & N. men at Kooskia now
seems to confirm this report,
which report was also to the
effect that the O. R. & N. would
build through to Montana and
there connect with the Milwau-
kee.
The surveyors at Kooskia are
following the survey made by the
Q, R. & N. surveyors eight years
ago. This survey is somewhat
closer to the river than that run
by the Milwaukee men, but the
general course of the latter's S
work is being followed. 1t is
stated at Kooskia that it is the
plan to complete the survey to the
mouth of the Locksaw the pres
ent winter, a distance of about
25 miles. The survey through
the higher country will be started
in early spring.
At the time the O. R. & N. was
in that field eight years ago, the
company bought a large amount
of rights Of way along the route
now being run, the purchases ex-
tending to Pete King creek, a
tributary Of the Locksaw branch,
and this side of Kooskia very
thorough surveys were made.

most value comes in little stringers, and
though no assays have been made, Mr.:
Prichard is positive the values run high.
There has been a great amount of
work done on the Laurel Hill group,
which consists of two claims. Mr..
Prichard has owned the property about
sixteen years and the value of the work
done in that time is placed at SIS, 600.
