DEMOCRAT LEADER ON TOUR

Congressman James Tighlman Lloyd, of the First Dictrict of Missouri, chairman of the Democratic National Congressional Committee was in conference with a number of leading Democrats in San Francisco recently.
 MT. Lloyd, whose home is in Shel- byville, was first elected to the House of Representative in 1893 He is now serving his sixth term as a National Legislator.
 T am travelling from State to State," said MT. Lloyd, "so as to get in touch with the people and to learn from personal contact with Democrats the political conditions From here I shall go to Los An geles and thence to Arizona, New Mexico and to Kansas. We are hopeful that the next Congress will be Democratic. The issues in this campaign will be the tariff, high price of food and Cannonism.

and sources of supplies For in stance, I label as inaccessible re- gions those where one is prohibited by government or apt to be mur dered by natives. This will elimi- nate more of the earths surface, and one begins to get down to tolerably narrow confines. Then comes the most important elimination of all.
 Look up the history of the remain ing territory, carefully going back to the days of the ''ancients," and show how important it is to do some discarding. For example: c. P Campbell, of Chicago, told me that he had lately been working plac CT deposits in South America with poor success. Now MT. Campbell is good mining man, but he failed to read history. The ground was overgrown with trees some three feet in diameter, and had the ap- pearance of being virgin, but after installing expensive machinery he dug up the remains of old Spanish sluice-boxes, and quit. He says he can now identify the remains of an cient Spanish placer works by the peculiar shape of the surface, wheth- CT it is covered with later growth of forest or not, and he has con- cluded that the Spanish dons, each with a handful of armed retainers and few hundred slaves, gave the whole of South America good prospecting about the 17th century. So far as placer deposits and easy lode-mining are concerned, I should eliminate nearly the whole of South America.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE

R. L. Palmer, L. Heacock and Dick Wood had narrow escape from drowning last Monday even ing While returning from hunt ing trip in the Salchaket they at tempted to take cutoff into the Cinema slough. The current in the cutoff was very swift, and the boat got out of hand and was carried under sweeper. The launch was capsized and the occupants thrown out Heacock managed to jump upon the sweeper, as did Palmer, but Wood was carried under. After a great struggle Palmer and Heacock helped Wood out of his perilous pc sition. The party lost part of their outfit when the launch capsized, but managed to save that portion which was in the trailing canoe.
 This is the second time within two weeks that an accident has oc- cured at that place. A week earlier than the Palmer adventure R. L. Vining and party attempted to make the same cutoff which ended so dis astrously for last Sundays hunters They too, were wrecked by coming into contact with the same brush and 1t was only by the greatest of good fortune that they managed tO get safely to shore
 In future sportsmen would do well to avoid this particular cutoff. Al though it has been used regularly in past seasons it appears to be more dangerous than it ever was before.

Chances for the p rospector

Writing in the Mining and Sci entific Press on Chances for the ProSpector," H. H. Edgerton sug- gests new method of deciding which portion of the world offers the best opportunities for the prospec- tor. He calls it a process of elimi nation, and his ideas on the sub, ject are worth considering by all who have adopted prospecting as a profession. By following out MT Edgerton's theory many useless stampede into a distant country may be avoided
 In general, says Mr. Edgerton, grant that every piece of territory on the face of the earth the size of state has gold in it, provided that the said territory is rocky and mountainous. In turn each portion of the earth of the size and charac- ter has it's gold excitement-Califor. nia, Montana, Idaho, Colorado and others. Then eliminate all civilized parts of the earth that have prob ably been prospected, and see what is left. This will sweep away nearly the whole of the United States prop CT, Europe, and some more. l was in Georgia, North Carolina and Ten nessee in the years 1887, 1890 and in July of 1898.

TOM LYNCH DRAWS
 S10,000 A YEAR

Those three famous and estimable females, allegoricaNy known as The little something to say in the lot teries of our lives. certainly amuse themselves at times by playing queer tricks on mankind. If you don't be lieve it, just ask Tom Lynch.
 Tom. as every full-blooded fan" in the country knows, was the greatest and squarest umpire that ever called strikes on a man. He quit the dia. mond 15 years ago, leaving a trail of glory behind him, a fact likewise known by all fandom. Settling down in his old home of New Britain, Con neCticut. he went into the show bus mess, just to keep himself out of that sort of mischief they say the hoofed and horned gentleman finds for idle hands to do
 And now behold how the wheel of fortune can turn a somersault over night. Of a recent Friday afternoon Tom was sitting in his office at the Russwin Lyceum. dreaming of first class attractions that are never 'frosts," and leading ladies who nev. CT go up in the air Baseball is as far away from his thoughts as the cannibal customs of the South Sea islands. A telegram is handed to him. It calls him to New York on the following morning, and gives no clue to it's purpose. He goes. few hours later he returns to his little New England town president of the National Baseball League, at sal ary of $l0,000 a year. Sounds like Alice in Wonderland doesn't it? Yet that is exactly how it happened. Up to within 30 minutes of his cleo tion he was ignorant of what the fates had in store for him.
 It will be a surprise to many to learn that the man who will be so much in the public eye this sum- mer never played a game of profes- sional ball in his life. When the seventies were the front rank years on the calendar, he was picking hot ones off the bat as a boy in a New Britain backyard lot. In 1884 he broke into a larger sphere of activity by becoming an umpire in the New England League. Two years later he was called to the National League where he remained for over a de, cade. putting up the cleanest and most satisfactory article in the arbi ter line ever seen on the diamond and retiring with the title King of Umpires"
 But such rugged honesty as Lynch's is never forgotten in this Ananias. filled world; so when the Heydler- Brown deadlock occurred in the cleo. tion of a president, the powers that control the major league went after the man who was quietly enjoying life in the land of clocks and nutmeg raters.-Human Life

The San Francisco Examin- CT. in conjunction with The Hearst papers throughout the country. is working up an agitation with the same end in view It is pointed out that prize fighting has become dis credited in the nearly all civilized countries. and II is believed that pub lie opinion has been sufficiently aroused over the Johnson-J Jeflries fight to insure the prohibition of professional pugilism in the future

DOG DID IT.

The real reason for the sudden physical breakdown of Mrs. Hetty Green has now leaked out. The whole trouble was caused by the death of Mrs. Greens pet dog Dewey The richest woman on earth was very much attached to the terrier which had been given to her by a friend a year or two ago. The i'll ness of Hetty Green caused a panic in the financial circles, and all through a pet dog.

INSULTED BRIDAL COUPLE.

The Hotel Astor Company, pro- prietOrs of the famous hotel on Broadway, New York, will have to face an action for sl5O,000 for slan- der and election. Edward w. Fay ish and his wife, Mrs. Helen Fay ish went to New York City from Alabama to spend their honeymoon. They claim that for no reason what ever, except that an under-manager disliked them, they were elected from the place. The under-manager told them in plain language that they were disreputable people whereas they were among the best known young people in Birmingham Alabama, and had only recently been married. The case will come up for trial early in the fall, and it is expected the young people will get the full amount of damages which they claim.

George E. Hall, a pioneer of the City of Seattle, blew off his head with dynamite in the woods near the city three weeks ago. Two years ago Hall was worth $250,000, but this sum had been considerably reduced through unfortunate speeulations in real estate since that time. Hall went to Seattle from New Hampshire 30 years ago. He worked in the saw mills on Puget Sound and invested all his savings in real estate. He was also engaged in several other business enterprises, being success. full in practically all of them.
