CrystaIIiz ation and Hardness.

When we speak of metal being in crystalline state we almost invari- ably associate that state with the idea of hardness. Even practical metal lurgists entertain this notion, although, as Mir. G. T. Bellby says in a recent paper read before the Royal society of London, "in the pure ductile metals the crystalline state is actually the

A shot one day last week in the east crosscut on the 300-foot level of the Anderson-A pache mine, near Jachita, developed one of the richest and most promising ore bodies yet encountered in the development work being done on the Apache ground. About three-quarters of the face of the crosscut was in copper carbonates which run from l2 to l5 per cent. cop- per. The appearance of the strike is such that it is expected the full ore body will be uncovered with a few more shots. Information to this effect comes from l.. K. HoultOn, of Houle x Houlton, who is superintend- ing the work now in progress at the mine.
 The discovery of the fair-sized body of copper sulphides on the 2OO-foot level was made. This ore runs extra ordinarily rich and is, too, an indica- tion of the value of the ore beneath. This ore also carries good value in silver.-American.

The new water system of the Santa Fe railroad at Kingman has been com- pleted and will be put in commission in a few days. The system will be found of great convenience in the train service and the users of water in and around the yard. The treating plant is in operation at the pump sta tion and locomotives will hereafter be supplied with treated water, instead oi the old method of treating the water in the tanks of the engines, from which large amount of the treatment material found it's way into the boilers and caused almost as much trouble from the precipitation of mud as the untreated water caused in the forma- tiOn of scale.

Mlrth Of a Murderer.

with the help of little tool, not un
like a tin opener, our burglar cut two
long slits-one perpendicular, the 9th

Then he wrenched the flap toward
him, bending 1t with his powerful
hands as one twists open the lid OF O
sardlne tin. Another minute and he
was inside.
Quietly and methodlcally he thrust
precious stones and rings into his lit
tie bag, choosing those which besides
being small were Of great value. The
bag was all but full when the Jeweler
himself appeared at the back of the
shop He carried a candle In one hand
and revolver In the other
The burglar bowed very politely and
said:
81 did not care to pass by an old
friends house without stopping to bid
him good day"
The unsuspectlng jeweler allowed
himself to be shaken by the hand,
when, with a sudden thrust, the bur
glar stabbed him to the heart
The bag was rapidly filled to almost
bursting point, and before leaving the
premises the burglar wrote few
words ON a sheet Of paper, which he
pasted on the outside Of the shop:

A Big Increase in Estimates
WORKING TOWARD THE COAST
Milwaukee Is Pushing Construction
Work Vigorously.

"The work of pushing the Mil
waukee to the coast is being done as
fast as labor and money can accom-
plish it," said p NJ. Ryan. a we'll
known railroad contractor. who has
recently returned to Missouri. Mont,
from the Idaho-Montana line to the
st. Joe river. a distance of As miles,
says the Spokane Chronicle.
"a large number of freighting
teams are working out Of Taft haul
ing supplies to the Chicago, Mlwau-
kee & st. Paul right-of-way and
these teams carry IS carloads of
powder and supplies every day to
the different camps along the line.
Engineer Day, who is in charge Of
the Milwaukee work from the Mon
tana line to beyond St Joe, is sta
toned at Taft. The work is divided
up into sections of six miles each
and over each of these is a resident
engineer with three assistants. The
work is we'll systematized and is pro-
crossing rapidly.
"In all there are 5000 men employ
ed on the work from the Montana
line to st. Joe, and, as these men
get $2.25 a day, it can easily be seen
that. with the salaries OF the engi-
neers, the daily payroll OF the Mil
waukee for the work down the St.
Joe is $4,000 or over.

gin in about year on most of the
line. although in places expect steel
will be laid before that.
IA wagon road traverses the en-
tire distance from Taft to st. Joe
along the right-of-way. with the ex-
ception of three miles. and these
three miles mark the dividing line
between the freighters from st. Joe
and those from Taft. There are 30
camps in all. of which II are between
Taft and the mouth OF the north
fork, being fed from st, Joe. The

CERTIFICATES CoUNTERTErrED
Bogus Paper Appears in Circulation
I'm Boise.

Counterfeit cashiers checks on the
Boise City National bank appeared in
circulation today and steps have
been taken by the bank to prevent
their acceptance, says the Boise Cap
ital News, j. f. Clinton. jr., CASH
ier, this afternoon requested that all
cashiers checks on the Boise City
National bank be returned to he
bank at once and cashed. He also
warns the public against accepting
any of these checks.
Two counterfeit cashiers checks
for 81 each reached the bank this
afternoon. and although the imitation
was cleverely done, the fact that they
were not good was quickly detected.
1t is evident that rubber stamps of
the signatures of F. r. Coffin, presi-
dent, and ]. E. Clinton, jr., cashier,
were procured. and there is nothing
in the signatures that would cause
suspicion. The numbers of the
checks, however, instead of being
stamped as on the originals, are
written in ing, and in the counter
feits the word "countersign" appears
instead of "countersigned." A seal
had evidently been secured by those
making the checks, but II is not the
seal Of the bank. Only the letters
"City Nat" are visible in the stamp.
There is very slight difference in the
type, but 1t is not such as would be
distinguished easily
There is no clue as to where the
checks came from, but It is thought
that they were not printed in Boise.
The paper is water marked "Colum-
bia bond" a paper very generally
used for such purposes. The prompt
action of Cashier Clinton will, 1t is
thought, prevent any widespread
circulation Of the counterfeit checks.

WARNS THE SETTLER
No INSIDE TIP TO
LAND LoCAToRs
Commissioner Ballinger Says That
Agents Who Claim to Have Infor-
nation Concerning Land Selections
Are Frauds-Settlers Are Warned
10 Beware of All Such.

In many places in the west there
have recently been land agents try
ing TO -defraud unsuspecting per-
sons into paying a certain fee for
location on railroad lands in oregon
and California. with the understand
ing that the general land commission
er had given out the statement that
such entries would without doubt, be
good and that land be decided to
them by the government.
To disabuse the minds OF any per-
sons contemplating making entries
upon land, the general commissioner
has issued the following letter, max
ing statements contrary to these re-
ports. The following copy was re-
ceived yesterday by Register A. j..
Gillis of the local office:

gresham Tawney. after a conference
with the commissioner of the general
land office has advised his son that
persons filing on the Oregon and CAL
ifornia railroad lands, would with
out doubt be able to secure the

These statements are untrue and

advertisements is to impose on inno-
cent and unsuspecting persons. You
will please give as wide publicity as
possible to the statements above set
forth.

NEW COAL ROAD PLANNED.
Ten Miles of New Line From Cen.
tralia 10 Coal Mines.

The first large contract for rail-
road construction let in the Column
bia river basin since the recent fl
nancial stringency was awarded yes
terday by the Centralia Eastern
Railroad company to w. F. Nelson,
of the well known contracting firm
Of Nelson & White, says the Oregon
Daily Journal. The line to be con-
structed is 10 miles of .first-class rail-
road, from a point near Centralia to
coal mines owned by the Mendoza
Coal company.
The road will, when completed and
equipped, have cost about 100000.
1t is a rush job, and must be com
pleted within 80 days The contract
was closed yesterday at the Portland
hotel between Mr.. Neison and B. H.
Johnson, vice-president and general
manager of the Centralia Eastern.
Mr.. Nelson will be stationed at Cen
tralia February L. to begin subletting
the work. About 800 men will be
required on construction work.
The interests back of the Mendoza
Coal company and the Centralia East
ern are believed to be closely allied
to the Burlington, and therefore
friendly to the Northern Pacific. 1t
is known that the Centralla Eastern
could secure, with four miles less
road a connection with the oregon
& Washington railroad, the Harri-
man line now under construction be-
tween Portland and the sound but
deliberately chooses to build the four
extra miles to connect with the
Northern Pacific at a point about a
mile and a half north of Centralia.
The Hartman line now has about
10 miles of its new road completed
north of Centralia, and the proposed
new line of the Centralia Eastern
will parallel its right OF way four
miles of that distance, with only a
fence between the two roads.
The Mendoza Coal company is
composed of Iowa and Illinois men
who have recently invested in coal
mines in western Washington. F. S.
Ketchus the president. is an old-time
coal operator and stockholder in the
Burlington road. A station few
miles west of Burlington is named
Ketchum in his honor. The Mem
dota Coal company is said to own
about 5000 acres OF coal land in
Lewis county.

eating brutes before he succumbed.
Burgess left Spearfish last sum-
mer to establish a bank at Edmon-
ton. Alberta province. After accom-
plishing his mission he wrote to his
family here that important business
in connection with the bank made 1t
necessary for him to go far into the
interior of the province and that the
trip would have to be made on horse
back.
Cold weather had already set in
and early SHOWS in that section made
travel not only difficult, bat danger
Gus because of the great packs of
timber wolves which had already
been reduced to a state of semi-star-
vation.
The presumption is that the wolves
followed and attacked Burgess and
his horse and that the animal be-
came frightened and ran away.
throwing Burgess into the snow.
Then part of the pack probably fol-
lowed the riderless horse until it
sank exhausted, when it was killed
and devoured by the starving brutes.
Burgess fought off the other ami
mails with his rifle. killing five of
them and then using the weapon as
club. He probably kept up the
unequal fight for his life for many
hours. when he sank, exhausted from
hunger and cold, after which he fell
an easy prey to the wolves. Bur-
CESS rifle was found by the side of
his skeleton with every shell empty.
The bodies of five wolves were lying
in circle some 80 feet from the
skeleton.
Burgess was one of the best-known
odd Fellows in South Dakota and
was highly esteemed.
