so that you pick out any kind you
want without dlsarranging the whole.
There Is another feature OF restau-
rant customs IN Germany that struck
me as out Of the ordinary. While per-
haps a dozen cakes are set before you

exact number you eat. when you are
done with your luncheon the waiter

In a minute or two he had formed a
plan. He asked the man to take a
glass Of wine. saying that be meant
to purchase another watch. The offer
was accepted. and a second watch was
rendered. which saindo pretended TO
examine He, however suddenly took
to his heels, watch IN hand. There

INJURED WHILE
DRIVING WELL
Explosive Went OFF Before
Bartlett and Day Get to
Safety

Henry j. Bartlett. who lives on the
Darby trolley line. near Marsh road,
has been sinking a well In the vicinity
for some time in the nope OF finding
a supply Of good water; but Mr.. Bart
lett neglected 20 hire a wizard with a
divining rod. and as a result his 90
foot hole in the earth was a dry and
thirsty cavity with a bed OF hard
eraniae at the bottom Mr. Bartlett
is an optimist and said yesterday that
he still had faithlnthat well and that
he would continue sinking until he
reached the antlpodes or gets some
thing akin to wetness.
Early last evening William Day Of
Montrose, was enlisted TO help disturb
the bowels of the earth and, being
somewhat Of believer in dynamite
as first aid for diggers who are down
against a hard proposition. he drilled
a hole in the granite and inserted
therein a modicum of the explosive.
A fuse was attached and the order TO
stand aloof was given; but Mr.. Day,
like his penetrating and fiery anti
thesis of the heavens and the man
from Missouri wanted TO shed light
upon the result.
Mr. Days inuuisitiveness was re-
warded by a shock to his system that
win require his having assistance from
family and friends for some time 10
come. Severe shock and bruises, with
perhaps a rib broken and internal in
juries are the results OF Mr. Days oX-
pertinent. while the hole remains az
dry as a prohibition town when The
"blind tigers" are asleep.

IMPORTANT COPPER STRIKE
Twenty er Cent Ore Five Miles From
Carson.

Yesterday Jim Cowden, who Is
working some copper property across
the river from this city came to town,
and with hlm came rne finest. specl-
mems of copper shown in this country.
Tne find is the most important
made in this section in number OF
years, as il comes from a depth OF
125 feet The ledge shows twelve
feet in thickness and the average 3t
the strike contains 20 per cent cop
per. With this showing and the pres
ent price OF copper it is better than
a gold mine.
Mr.. Cowden has been backed III he
venture by his brother, who spent a
portion OF the winter in this city.
The strike brings attention to other
properties that are being nrospeCted
in the same neighborhood. The Lone
Pine group of claims, owned by peo-
pie Of this city have the same charac-
ter OF ore and they will without doubt
hit -Ie same lead as they gain depth
Some of the speciments are on ex-
hlbition in this city. A number Of
ine pieces are shown at Heidenreich S
saloon, while 7. G. Farrer, the jewele1
has one piece. that weighs nearly a
hundred pounds. Several Of the
! specimens show free or native copper
/ while the greater part OF the value
are in the form Of an oxide. The
COwden strike will set a general stil
moving across the river and before
the summer is over there will be {
boom in that direction.
