 Branch Office Berkshire Mill.
 The Berkshire mill at TAO North Washineton avenue has opened branch office at 981 Main Broad street near State street in the store recently occupied by the Village store as wholesale liquor store. This office Is in a very convenient location and the firm will without doubt increase their this down town office. The office is more for the convenience of those wishing to leave coal orders, as this firm is doing large business in that line. One of the reasons of the bus mess of the firm being so large is, of course, the good grade of coal that is sold by them and of the courteous treatment that is accorded all of their customers. The Berkshire mill is at the head of tidewater on the Pequon- nook river and has been at this 1oca- tion since 1t was established, which was in the year 17S3. John A. Barri, the proprietor is one of the leading eli acc nf ho oif nf ri Don't forget when in need of coal the convenient location of the new office 9S1 Broad street, where all orders will be promptly attended to.

Ancient Table courtesies.

In the Ambrosian library at Milan there is a thirteen century manuscript entitled Fifty Courtesies of the Ia ble." Its author is Fra Bonvesin of Riva, and it throws an interesting light on the table manners of those times. Do not" writes this rigorous censor, fill your mouth too full. The glutton who fills his mouth will not be able to reply when spoken to-" The perfect diner is adjured not to soak his bread in his wine, for" adds the writer, eff any one should dine with me and thus fish up his victuals should not like it." But of the fifty "courtesies' mentioned by the ecclesi- astic the prize most certainly must be awarded to the following: Let the hands be clean, and. above all, do not at table scratch your head, nor, indeed, any portion of your body" After this the advice to refrain from wiping ones fingers on the tablecloth comes as an anticlimax.

Music of the Bleed.

Have you ever heard your blood ? Have you ever put one of those large seasheils to your ear and heard what the children say is the sound of the sea, the music of the wayesw Well. that is really the sound of your blood -as it circulates-echoed in the empty shell. You can hear it sometimes when your head is on pillow. but it dces not sound musical then. Try the shell at any time and you will find that your blood is always flowing. Stick your thumb in your ear and lis- ten. That is natures way of constant ly carrying the nourishment from well digested food to every part cf your body.

AN 0LD:T|ME STAMPEDE.


~ .
yLords'urg. N. NJ, Feb. 27.-The fact
=. that a great diamond mining camp was
located. in New Mexico nearly fifty
years ago has been forgotten except by
a few of the old frontiersmen and pio-
-aeers who are still living and have a
personal recollection of the exciting
events of that period. 1t was in the
spring of 1860 that two men were pros
pecting for gold in the Pyramid mount
aims, few miles south of the present
town of Lordspurg. 1t was a region
which had been penetrated by but few
white men. The two prospectors one
day found a few glittering stones. which
bad the appearance Of uncut diamonds.
- 1t was long and tiresome journey to
San Francisco from the Pyramid
mountains in those days, but the pros
pectors determined to learn whether
their surmise that the stones were dia-
monds was correct before they contin-
ued their operations. With the stones
carefully slowed away in their clothes
they finally reached San Francisco.
One of the prospectors knew Il
wealthy San Francisco man named
Thomas Ralston, and to him the!
showed the stones and told their story.
That the stones were real diamonds
was proved by the tests that Ralston
z<had made of them.
A big expedition QUILTED by Ralston
started for the scene of the discovery.
The news of the wonderful find leaked
out and following in the wake of the
original expedition came hundl eds OF
excited gem hunters.
They focked into the Pyramid
mountains, and in a few weeks town
of 5000 people had sprung up near the
site of the original discovery. The
town was named Shakespeare. 1t was
= typical mining camp of the early
days. 1t contained many saloons, gam
bling halls and four hotels.
1t was such thriving place that the
stage route between Silver City ard
Tucson was changed to run by way OF
it in order to haudle the heavy traffic.
The stories of the riotous ways of
- the restless and lawless element who
- infested Shakespea are in the heyday o:
its prosperity are full of thrillingl in

MINOR ITEMS

Paul Williams, the well-known ma
tive hunter, returned last week from
his annual winter foray to tho head
waters of the Kuskokwim. He found
plenty of meat but little fur, having
secured but two marten. Spruce hens
and rabbits are becoming numerous in
that region again, which Paul believes
betokens a return of the furred ami
mails, for" he says, "marten always
follow the spruce hens and lynx follow
the rabbits"
Harry E. Pratt, the ''chip off the old
block" who has been winning his spurs
at the Fairbanks bar this winter, has
been called 10 California on business.
He will not remain away long.

LOST PR0SPECT0RS
MAY Be MURDERED

Fred Date, writing from a point 80
miles below Fort Yukon on the Yukon
river Feb. 3, calls the attention of the
marshal's office at Fairbanks to the
disappearance and probable death of
two Chandlar prospectors, Joe Ger
agility and D. D. Clark.
Geraghty and Clark left Caro- the
latter part Of February, 1909. to look
up some prospects on the Arctic slope.
100 or $50 miles north Of Caro-. They
had four dogs, two sleds. and were
"double tripping" it. This was the
last seen of them. They were supposed
to have gone north between the east
and middle forks of the Chandlar.
Last fall an Indian named Ned re-
ported that he had been told by an
Indian named Robert John that he
Robert John) had found new boat on
a rock on the east fork, where there is
some bad water" and that it might
have been Geraghty's.
The fact that Geraghty had Robert
John arrested for theft (for which he
served Jail sentence) and the fact
that Robert John found what was sup
posed TO be Geraghty's boat, together
with the bad repu, alton Robert John
bears among the Indians Us well as the
whites, has led people to believe that
Geraghty and Clark have met with
foul play.
Before leaving Caro- Geraghty gave
Thomas Wright IA power of attorney
to transact some business for him, say
ing that he would be back tina, fall.
The Indian named Ned told Wright
about the finding of the boat by Rober;
John, aud remarked that '-Maybe Rob-
ert John kill Joe.'

cidents. Two of the most daring mem.
bers of The criminal gang were Russian
Bill and Black Jerry. They ruled
things with such a high hand that one
night vigilance com mittee took these
two men out and hung them to the
rAfters of an old building which was
then occupied by saloon and gambling
hall. This building is still standing in
partial state of ruin.
No other diamonds than those which
were in the original lot that the pros
pectors took to San Francisco were
ever found. Ralston is said to have
spent his whole fortune in having the
ground for miles around Shakespeare
thoroughly prospected, and when all oi
his money was gone he committed sui
eide.
The town continued to flourish for a
few years. Some of the prospectors
made good strikes of gold and silver
ore in the mountains and the place had
some substani al basis for its existence.
Its downfall came when the Southern
Pacific railroad was built through
Lordsburg. Most of the people in
Shakespeare moved over TO Lordsburg
and the old town quickly fell into a
state of ruin. Piles of adobe buildings,
some of them occupied by families OF
Mexicans, are still to be seen in the
desolate spot.
Over on an adjacent mountain slope
the glazing sun falls upon the bare
graves of the men who came TO their
death in Shakespeare. The inhabi-
tants OF this cemetery, many of them,
died with their boots on.

Denver News Times, is one of several
versions of one of the most remar kab!e
mining excitements ever known in the
Southwest. According to accepted ira.
dition the find" was well-planned
fake. 1t IS said that $50, 900 worth OF
rough diamonds were shown to Ralston
by the ''prospectors." Ralston sent a
representative with the men, who dug
up $40, 600 worth more. upon the show
ing of which he closed deal for the
| ground and paid a great price therefor.
A year later he had the ground ex-
ported by competent man. who said
the diamonds had not originated there

losses were mainly responsible for the
