KItOM HHOKT >111.1, HUN ?
Fairbanks continues to niako good
in her quartz mining. The last
lisuo of the Ttmos tolls of raluoa
on tho Sco claim, In tho following:
Yellow and shiny, showing the
Indentations of tho rough surface of
an iron mould as woll as tho flno
l'nes of a bristle brush ueo to scrape
off particle* of slag, a brick of gold
r arked "251 Oz." was exhibited
yesterday morning as tho final result
of a four-and-threc-quarters days'
run of the two-stamp mill 011 tho
?puldlng loose on Domo creek. Tho
run roprrsentod the foodlng of 34
tons of 0*0 under the two ono
thousaud-pound stamps of tho Hon
dy mill Installed last summer by
tho lessee on the Soo claim.
Tho value of tho brick, with tho
goid assaying ovor $17 to the ounco,
Is placed ui $4,300. This makes
the avorago value of tho ore about
$126 to tho ton. This Is a con
su'vrtlve flguro and represents tho
worth of tho ore being tnken out
at present from tho tunnel on tho
50-foot level. At other times, tho
ore has averaged ns Jjlgh as $4U0
to tho ton.
The cloanup was brought In Wed
nesday evening by John Konan, who,
with Capt.Un Spalding und John

FREAKS OF NATURE
A Tree That Throws Somersault ? and a
Waterfall Reverted.
A tree gone uuid ami a waterfall that
falls up Instead of down are Among
the strange things to be ween In Ha
wnll. as descrllied by John Burroughs
In the Century MagniJne:
"Nature in the tropics, left to her
self, Is harsh, aggressive, savage;
looks as though she wanted to hang
you with her dangling ropes or impalo
you on her thorns or engulf you In her
raulcs of glgnntlc ferns. Her mood Is
never as plncld and sane as In the
north. There Is n tree In tbo Hawaiian
woods that suggests a treo gone mad.
It Is called the bau treo. It lies down,
squirms and wriggles all over tbe
ground llko a wounded snake. It gets
up and then takes to earth again. Now
It wants to be a vine; now It wants to
be a tree. It throws somersaults, It
makes Itself Into loops and rings, it
rolls, it reaches, it doubles upon Itself.
Altogether It Is tbe Craziest vegetable
growth ] ever saw.
"It was near Tail that I saw what I
bad never seen or heard of before? a
waterfall reversed, going up Instead of
down. It suggested Stockton's story
of negative gravity. A small brook
comes down off tbo mountain and at
tempts to mnko the leap down a high
precipice, but the winds catcb it and
carry it straight up In tbo air like
smoke, it is translated; It becomes a
mere wraith hovering nbove tbe bee
tling crag. Nlgbt and day this goes
on, the wind snatching from tbe moun
tains In this summary way the water
It has brought them."
Lucky Thirteenth.
A woman who sets particular storo
by the thirteenth superstition surprised
her friends by accepting an invitation
to a luncheon where there were to bo
thirteen guests.
"I will be late," she said, "for 1 shall
make it n point to be the thirteenth
person to outer the room. That is a
funny thing about thirteen. Many ac
cidents have happened to pnrtics thir
teen In number, but Investigation has
shown that while the other twelve per
sons suffered more or less the thir
teenth person who Joined tho company
always escaped unharmed." ? Philadel
phia Ledger.
Twentieth Contury Definitions.
A witty Judge of the municipal court
of Boston stoutly declared that "n pat
riot was a man who refused to button
his wife's lingerie waist"
"A martyr," he went on, "Is one who
attempts and falls, while a hero tries
and succeeds."
"Then what la a coward?" asked a
curious bystander.
"Oh, a coward." replied the Judge, "Is
a man who remains single so ho won't
h?v? to try."? Youth's Companion.

' LOST IN THE DARK IN A MINE.
Thrilling Exporlonco of a Workman
Who Found Himialf Aft?r an Explo
lion Alone and Without a Light In
the Suffocating Coal Hoi*.
To bo lost In tbe woods or on the
plains la a fearful experience, bat there
the victim has tho beavons above blm
anil can nt lonnt boo hla w ny about
The terror* of a aluillar adventure In
the utter blackness of n rm filled coal
mine are thus described by a corre
??IKinilent of the Youth'a Companion:
I waa working alone In a "room" on
(hi- tecum! south entry of the mine.
It waa 5 oVIock, the time for firing the
nftoruiKin blasts. The man who waa
"driving" the entry lighted bla fuae
and rnme back through the entry call
ins out "Klre!" One after another the
other mlnera aet off their blasta und
<ame along the entry until they reach
ed my room. I lighted my fuae. watch
ed It sputter for a moment and went
out Into the entry to wait for the blaat
Several seconds passed, and there
wan no explosion. My fellow mlnera
puss oil out of the entry and left me
nlone. I went buck Into the room and
found that the blast opening was clog
ciil so thnt the Ore could not rench the
powder. I had to remove the tamping
hiii! recharge the drill hole. By tbla
time the mine waa filled wltb denac.
caa laden powder smoke from the other
hlnsta.
In the stifling smoke 1 recharged tbe
hole, tnmped It. Inserted the fine,
lighted It from my head lamp and hur
ried to the month of the room. Tbe
work was hastily done. Wben tbe
powder exploded the rush of air extln
culshod my lamp.
The darkness wns nbsolute, and there
Is no darkness so dense as that of a
mine To my consternation I found
the matches In my "Jockey box" ao
damp thnt they would not Ignite
Then I became renlly alarmed. I wns
two miles under ground without a light
1n an atmosphere so heavy wltb gns
that It would not sustain life for any
length of time.
1 dashed Into tbe entry, ran against
a pillar and wns knocked nearly sense
less.
1 staggered to my feet and groped
down the tunnel. In n coal mine great
on ken valves or doors close the en
trances to the various tunnels. The
nlr enters through the main entry and
Is sucked out of the mine by great
fans nt the opposite end of the mine
after It has been distributed through
the workings by means of these valves
nud crosscuts .situated near them.
I reached n door, pulled It open and
passed through. Beyond It two tun
nels came together nt a right angle.
One led toward the open nlr. the other
Into the depths of the mine. My
sen<e of direction was entirely gone,
and I could not tell which to take. It
was nil chnnce. I went ahead nnd aft
er a time reached another valve.
If I only had u light! One glimpse
of the number painted on the door
would tell me where I was. I tried to
feel the number with my Angers, but
!n valu. I pushed through the door
and entered another tunnel, down
which I wrlked for hours, as It seem
ed. My head was bursting with pnln
from the gns.
Then I heard the sound of running
water. I knelt down, dipped In my
hand nnd found that I was going up
stream and consequently deeper and
deeper Into the mine. So I turned
buck, reached the valve and felt along
the pillar until I found the other tun
nel opening. The gas had by thla time
begun to affect my brain, and I reeled
and staggered as I walked. I left the
track and walked In the "sump" water
up to my knees, kecplug one hand on
the wall to steady myself.
I passed through vnlvo after valve
aDd tried to keep count, but my brain
refused to perform that simple task.
At last I pushed through n valve and
felt a blast of fresh, cold air. With
that breath of oxygen my reason re
turned With renewed courage 1 push
ed forward. Many times In following
that life giving curreut of air I plunged
through narrow cross cuts, stumbled
over masses of slate, fell Into water
boles and bruised myself by striking
against the sharp corners of the coal
vein, but I was steadily creeping near
er to the surface.
Suddenly I stumbled against a loaded
coal car. That meant tbnt I was In the
main entry, but how far from the en
trance I could not tell. I worked my
way along the string of loaded cars
and liegan to ascend an Incllno. The
fresh air swept down the tunnel In a
gale. I kept peering ahead. In the hope
of seeing daylight, but none appeared
I wondered why. I broke Into a run.
and In another minute I had emerged
from the mine and stood gazing at the
stars. It was almost midnight, nnd I
bad left my room shortly after 5
o'clock.
The Greedy One.
Traveling through South Africa, Mr.
Dudley Kldd, tho author of "The Es
sen tin I Knfflr." onre accused a native
of being greedy. Tho native turned
eyes of reproach upon him.
"Me greedy. baas?" be Bald. "It takes
two Kaffirs to eat a sheep In a day, but
only one Hottentot HotteDtot greedy,
not Kaffir."
The question every morning Is not
how to do tho gainful thing, but bow
to do tho Just thing.? John Ruskla.
