Drawinu the Color Line.

The cOlOred question is one we
 have with us wherever we live; more
 so if we are southerners, less promi-
 nently if our home is in the north.
 We never realize what a large pro- portion of our population is black
 until a presidential campaign is on.
 when struggle begins for the col
 ored vote. That reveals not only the
 fact that the United States contains
 four million colored voters. but also
 that the race is growing in power If
 you would see a colored community
 filling a different strata from either
 north or south, view it in Washing
 ton. which declares by it's census the distinction of having a larger pro- portion of colored citizens than any other southern city. In the capitol city there are 97,4S3 negroes to 241.- 92O whites. They are not only more negroes in the city, but they fill a different place from what they do five miles further south They have the same privileges accorded them as in the north. They ride in the same cars, sit together at the same enter and live in houses scat tered about a white locality when they choose and have the price. The of the residents are south erners and they vince under condi- tions they can not prevent. You see 1t every day on the street cars, when southern woman draws sensitively away from some big, fat negress who plants herself and a great market basket beside her, squeezing for space right and left. In many a case of the sort l have seen the southern woman get up haughtily and content herself with strap. She would fain -elegate the descendant of her slaves to Jim Crow car, but she can't: she las simply to endure conditions if she will live in Washington.

MINES ON MOVE
 IN NORTHERN ARIZONA.
Mines Being Sold, Prospects Devel-
 oped and Ore Shipped.

| Robert McEntee, of Salome states that matters are rather quiet all through that section of the country but that the recent rains will enable many to go to work on their mining properties.
 He reports that while the Harqua | IIala has suspended operations, it will resume again on the Ist of Sep i tember on a bigger scale than ever. The company is making preparations to install a s15O.OO0 cyanide plant to work the tailings. It will also start a new working shaft for the purpose 1 of developing the property. About seventy-five men are at work on the Boone property, in Gun ningham Pass, but several had to be laid off on account of the shortage of water" said McEntee, but this rain will enable them to resume.
 The Cinnabar mine is keeping up operations with about fifty men and taking everything into consideration matters are not so bad after all."
 The Cunningham Pass Copper com pany is now working a force of fifty two men and is taking out a large amount of shipping ore, which will net rich returns.
 The returns show twelve per cent of copper and thirty dollars in gold to the ton.
 From one to three cars of ore are being shipped weekly from the Wen den district to the Fl Paso shelter.
 Having purchased a gasoline blow CT, the Harcuvar Copper company is employing twelve men at the present time. They are now running a cross cut tunnel 21S feet from the top of the ledge, which shows good gold and copper values at the surface.
 At the Glorioso Gold and Copper company property three men are now working. They have blocked out plenty of gold ore for a mill which it lis planned to install as soon as ar engagements can be made.

It is further charged by the commits

How tho Chinese Count Time.

The Chinese sundial embodied the
usual principle, but was crude indeed. A
rod or needle set upright reflected shad-
ow on q fiat surface as the sun moved.
On this were characters indicating the
hours Of the day. The Chinese also used a
water clock called the clepsydra. 1t was
disk of copper or other material, with an
extremely small aperture, from which the
water triokled, drop by drop. The clepsy-
dra of Canton is thus described by traV-
aler: lit is vase of copper. tits situated
In pavilion built on double arch that
crosses q street leading from the great
south gate Of the city to the palace of the
treasurer of the province. Like that which
existed, and perhaps exists still In the
Peking observatory, it Is composed of four
,opper vases, whence water runs from one
70 another by little tubes fixed at the base
The vase that rests on the floor has on Its
wooden cover kind of handle, crossed by
q rule mounted on float and covered
with characters representing the hours.
When the water has run out-that Is, In
the morning or evening-it is poured again
into the uppermost vase. There Is little
brick Staircase by which the attendant as
,ends.
"In the temples there are attendants
whose business it Is to hang up a placard,
with white ground, on which Is indicat'
cd the hour. They strike the hours OF the
day on a drum, and at night they beat a
gong. The attendants who thus look after
The flight of time occupy the intervals be-
tween in making sticks of incense, or
which are marked tho hours. \These are
sticks so arranged as to burn a certain
length Of time for every hour, and these
are used by peasants and others. The
stick Is lighted when the gong sounds,
and in this way the private individual can
keep very tolerable account of the hours
as they pass. Now York Ledger.

The foregoing bill was introduced by Con-
