a man who returned from Ashland
Monday says that on the previous day,
a rather amusing accident occurred in
that burg. A man was running a car
across the brodge aver the Aroostoofi
river, and under the enthusiasm of sew
eral drinks of gin steered the car wrong
and 1t went through the bridge rail. The
driver floated ashore and was fished out,
but the car, with half dozen bottles OF
gin sank to the bottom Of the stream.
A crowd soon gathered, and it soon be-
came evident that in competition with gin
the drowned automobile made no mt at
all. the crowd to man falling to fishing
for the bottles which could be seen on the
bottom, regardless of the fate OF the car.
When the Pressure Isle man came away
the gin had been salvaged, but the car
still lay at the bottom of the pond.-Star-

Freeman Pettis of Popham Beach tells
story Of the election night doings that IS
not half bad. He and his dorymate, Her
man Dorr. were off shore fishing Tuesday
night when their attention was attracted
by a series of flashes they saw in the
sky in the general direction which is
Portland They counted the flashes, not
knowing just what was up and thinking
that perhaps a new lighthouse of the tyne
that flashes a number had been estab-
lished, without their knowledge. Accord
ing to their count the light flashed 2-6-3
and they decided this must be the num-
Der of the light. Later on. while thinking
it over, they had read in the papers some
thing abA,t plan to flash election re-
turns by electric light and then they de-
cided that this number 269 must be the
number of electoral votes received by
Hughes for he was the only one they had
in mind as being liable to receive that
number.-Portland Press.

APPLE CROP OF YEAR
SHOWN TO BE NORMAL

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 26.--
Tho September l forecast of total
"nnla production this year in the
United States, as reported by the
bureau of crop estimates, depart
ment of agriculture, is 67,679,OOO
barrels of 3 bushels each (agricul-
tural and not commercial basis), as
compared with 7~6,670,000 estimated
produced last year, of which not
quite 65 per cent were sold. In
the past 10 years estimated produc-
ton has exceeded the present fore
east five times. Taking the coun-
try as a whole, it thus appears hat
the apple crop will be nearly an
average, but IL per cent smaller
than last years large crop. The
crop is larger than last year in the
Atlantic Coast States, including New
York and Pennsylvania. and in the
Pacific Coast States, but smaller in
practically all the interior states
except Michigan, which has about
"a per cent more than last year.

NEVADA
MILL WORKS

According to information impart-
ed by Supt. II. r. Van Wageman of
tie Amalgamated Phoebe Mines &
Shelters corporation just before his
departure for Denver last Tuesday,
the Con. Nevada Utah mill continues
to do excellent work and is handling
from 10 to 20 per cent more ton
mage than the plant was built for.
The principal dump, formed during
the handspring days of the com
pany, and from which the mill has
been drawing considerable tonnage
in the past few months, has been
entirely cleaned up and the mill is
now feeding wholly from the mine,
wheer two shifts of men are en-
ployed.
The prospecting work on the 400
level has revealed a narrow vein,
which has brought in considerable
water, and which shows values in
gold, silver and lead. This disclos-
ure is in entirely new country and
Mr.. Van Wagemen states it may
mean new orebodies. However,
there can be no assurance of this
until development is carried further
along-Pioche ecord.

LONG HIKE MINE
HAS MUCH ORE
VAST TONNAGE SAID TO BE
SHOWING IN JARBIDGE
PROPERTY

Jarbidge is to be before long the
greatest gold-silver camp in Nevada,
or in the world, perhaps. Reliable
men stated today that 100000
worth of ore is blocked on in the
Long Hike mine alone, and there
are a number of other mines. such
as the Buster, Success and the
o. X. that are developing large
bodies of ore.
The Sloss and Hartford interests
of San Francisco have bonded and
are working some of the best prop
critics, but the Guggenheims are be-
hind the principal interests now at
work.
The ore must be milled at Jar
bidge, on account of the distance
from the railroad, and. the produce
will be sent out in the form OF
bullion. There are several small
mills in the district, equipped Tor
amalgamation only. a process which
does not make a satisfactory eX-
traction.
Lack of power has held the camp
back, but there is plenty or water
for power purposes in the
ing mountains. The seasons are
shoort and it is too late to launcn
new enterprises this year, but next
year some big mills will be built at.
Jarbidge.
Unfortunately for Nevada, the
natural outlet for the camp Is by
way of Twin Falls, Idaho. The road
from Elko climbs to a height or
5000 feet before starting on the
down grade into %Jarbidge canyon,
and for several months of the year
is impossible because of the snow.
1t is one of the most beautiful scenic
trips in the west, and is well worth
taking just for the enjoyment OF
the beauties of nature.
The travel from Twin Falls IS
heavy and all kinds of supplies are
being laid in for the winter. FAR
cells post is a popular method or
transportation and ever coal is
shipped to Jarbidge in that way

WATER STOPS
MINING WORK

Miners in the NixOn-Nevada mine
at Granite Hill were driven out of
the south workings on the 2S5-foot
level Sunday by a heavy flow of
water just as they had reached a
rich deposit of copper ore which
had been mined through two Slopes
above the level. A raise was put
upon the vein from the 285 level
and had reached the high-grade
when the deluge came. They report
ed IS inches of solid metal. The
ore from the slopes above carried
from so to rs per cen copper and
yielded a cotton car of this grade,

exhausted themselves.
In the No. 4 shaft workings.
which are 1000 feet up the hill
from No. l shaft, ore of excellent
grade has been encountered on the
55-foot level and the men are nov
stripping the vein preparatory 20
stopping. This vein parallels No.
/ and has produced considerable
good ore. The management plans
to cut it from the lower level of
No. l shaft by a crosscut as soon
as the new hoist and air compress
scr arrive. The company ship

FRANZ JOSEF IS

AGED EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA DE-

Francis Joseph spent his third war
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 1S-in absolute
retirement in his palace at Schoeh-
brunn. just outside Vienna. Only
q special mass in the castle chapel
and a family d~inner-party distin-
guished the day from n other in
the monarch's ordinary life. For
the rest it was spent as usual, in
work from dawn until evening.
His eighty-sixth birthday found
the emperor in fairly good health,
despite all rumors TO the contrary.
Statesmen who have seen him lately
express establishment at his mental
and bodily vigor. but allowing for
some courtier-like eXaggeration it
is generally believed that the sover-
eign's health is remarkably good,
considering his advanced age, and
especially all the worries and bur
dens resulting from the wal.
Rising at four, the emperor takes
o very light breakfast of tea or
chocolate and bread and butter and
is at his desk by five. His barber

now he is enrolled in the Land

he cannot come at the proper time,
having guard duty, but the ON
peror has ordered that nothing is
t. interfere with his military duties.
He arrives at the castle in u%nifor'l
but puts on a dress coat before go
ing to the emperor.
Naturally the customary rejoic-
ms on the occasion of the emper-
or's birthday throughout the
try have been greatly curtailed by
the war. In Vienna a high mass
at the cathedral, attended by all
the prominent state and municipal
personages, followed by a state din
ner at the Cardinal Archbishop's
and the firing of a salute at the ar
senal are the chief items on the
program. usually great crowds
fiocked to the prater, which was il
Illuminated in the evening, blu. this
year the population was in little
mood for such festivities, and the
crowds were much smaller than in
previous years.
