Vide, says the Omaha lice. Col. John
DojIo'b wonderful vlncfjar mine in
'Beaverhead county passes the domain
of doubt into the Kimllplit of truth. It
is bached by crisp aflldavits, nnd af
fidavit! cost one dollar each in Mon
tana. The colonel and his partners did
not confine themselves to vinegar.
They diseoTcrcd a mountain of pure
turn in the lleavcrhead range.
The discovery was considered a ten
Btrllce and better than a gold mine.
They kept the (Ind a secret for sovcra)
weeks, during which a tdiaft was sunh
to the depth of two huudred feet. The
out was made all the way through a
solid vein of alum, and it was esti
mated that the whole mountain was
composed of it. A largo pile of stuiT
was heaped near the mine ready for
shipment nnd the miners had a scheme
to flood the market with their product
and rake in one million dollars at one
'fell swoop. The other day the colonel's
partner went to town to lay in a supply
of grub and the former remained be--kind
to guard the treasure.
During the morning a heavy rain be
gan to fall and continued all day, and
in the af ternoon this colonel had occasion
to go down into the mine, making the
descent by sliding down the rope, and
when once down at the bottom was so
taken up with a contemplation of his
novel and wonderful mine that ho did
not heed the fleeting hours until ho
happened to cast his eyes upward and
saw that daylight had faded from the
mouth of tho shaft. lie started to climb
upward, but had not proceeded more
than half way when to his horror ho
discovered that tho heavy fall of rain
to thoroughly saturated the alum sides
of the shaft that as a natural result
they had drawn together until the hole
was scarcely large enough for a man to
crawl through.
The imprisoned man recognized his
awful position, and without losing much
time struggled toward the top of the
shaft. Every foot ho advanced the shaft
became smaller, and for tho last ten
feet he was compelled to dig his way up
with a pocketknifn, and when he final
ly reached the surface he was complete
ly exhausted, his clothes wero torn and
his body badly bruised. Tho rain was
still falling, which soon revived the
colonel, and he started toward the camp
to meet his partner, to whom he related
his marvelous experience. Together
they returned to their mine, or at least
tried to, for although they searched for
two days they wero unablo to find any
night of their lato possessions. The
rain bad undoubtedly thoroughly and
tightly closed up the discovery shaft and
molted away evory sign of the alum
piled on the outside, so that to this timo
it has been impossible to find any tracp
of the inlne.
WALLED IN BY CORAL.
In Which All Nation liars
. Willingly lettered.
At tho geographical congress at Ucrno
a year ago Prof. I'cnck proposed tho
publication of a map of the entire world
on a universal scale of one in 1,000,000,
or about sixteen statute miles to tho
inch, the various nations to tako part
in tho production of tho map. Tho
proposition was favorably entertained,
and a committee was appointed to take
steps for its realization. Thegeograph
era of various nations on the whole
hare received the idea with favor, and
there seems to be no doubt that the
map will be produced.
Each sheet of tho map up to 00 de
grees north latitude will embrace five
degrees in each direction. The more
northern sheets will embrace ten de
grees of longitude. The representation
of tho whole crth, Including the sea,
will require 030 of these sheets, while
the land alone may be shown on 709
sheets. It is proposed to give great at
tention to the physical ond political
features. Dr. Itavenstein, the English
mapmakcr, says that tho rivers will be
in blue and the hills in brown. Contour
lines will be drawn at elevations of 100,
800, 600 and 1,200 meters, and the areas
inclosed by them are to be tinted. It
is expected that sheets which deal with
countries already topographically sur
veyed will be engraved on copper. Tho
remaining sheets will probably be litho
graphed. The Greenwich meridian will bo ac
cepted for tho entire map, says the New
York Sun, and all altitudes aro to bo
marked in meters. The official spelling
of all countries using the Latin alpha
bet is to bo retained. Other alphabets
are to be transliterated in accordance
with a system to be agreed upon, while
names in unwritten languages will be
spelled phonetically. It is estimated
that the cost of an edition of 1,000
copies of this map, showing only the
land surface, will be 1937,190, nnd as the
sale of the first edition at 2 shillings a
sheet would produce only f478,595 the
deficit would be made up by the gov
ernments concerned or by liberal pri
vate patrons.
Prof. Itavenstein says lie sees nothing
Utopian in the scheme. Difficulties
may ariso as to tho spelling of the
names and tho introduction of the
meter, but tho essential thing to his
mind was the introduction of a uniform
tcalc.

SNAKE.
With
.Natives Found on the Hidden Plateau ot
a Very Little Island.
A curious discovery has been made on
the island of Kitaba, one of tho Tro
briand group, off the northeastern coast
of New Guinea. A great many sailors
passing this little Island have imagined
that it had no inhabitants because they
saw no evidence of human occupation.
Sir AVllliam McGregor, the administra
tor of British New Guinea, says the
island has an area of only five or six
square miles.
On all sides it presents a low and
slightly sloping margin, usually about
a quarter of a milo broad, covered by
heavy timber. Within is a precipitous
oral wall, which can be ascended only
at a few places. The bank rises to a
height of throe hundred to four hun
dred feet. Once at the top the visitor
finds within this wall a plateau which
occupies the whole of the center of tho
island and is from fifty to one hundred
feet below tho coral wall surround
ing it.
There about one thousand natlvos
live and till their gardens. Tho rich,
chocolate-colored soil yields thorn an
ample supply of food. Thoy aro com
pletely protected from tho wind by tho
rocky rim that incloses their plateau.
The island seems to have been an atoll
which was lifted above the sea several
hundred feot, so that the atoll ring now
forms the coral wall surrounding the
plateau. On this elevated and almost in
accessible plain are thirteen villages,
each of which contains over twenty
nouses.
Blr William McGregor says the na
tlves gave him a mo&t pleasant recep
tion, lie found it difUoult to travel
through some villages on account of
the yams, cocoanuts, mats and other
articles that were laid down before him
for his acceptance. There are no inter
tribal hostilities, and it is not possible
for the natives of other islands to op
press tho people, because on their pla
teau, naturally fortified as it is, they
aro Inaccessible to Hostile tribes. Tb
drainage of the plateau Is excellent.
There ure great cavities in the coral
wall through which the rainfall filters
tnd wakes it-, way to the sea.
Comes to the Front
New Discovery.
A letter from Dr. E. E. Brown says he
and party have made a most wonderful
diicovcry up in King's River canyon,
says the Selma Irrigator. In crossing a
email croek they came to a beautiful
canyon or basin of about three acres of
level meadows, surrounded by perpen
dicular walls some three hundred feet
high. A flue stream of cold, clear water
was flowing into tho little- meadow, but
there seemed to be no outlet. There
was no way of getting down into the
valley, but quail and rabbits seemed to
Inhabit the little basin.
A pair of opera glasses brought to
light a number of snakes basking in tho
sun on a flat rock. They wero one to
threo feet in length, and had heads
bhaped exactly like a blacksmith's ham
mer. While the party were examining
with the glasses the maneuvers of a
number of tho snakes crawling through
tho grass, a very large one was noticed
making a sneak on a cotton tall rabbit.
When within about two feet of the rab
bit the suuke stiffened the front half of
its body and bent into a right angle.
Then his snakeship straightened out
suddenly, bringing tho rabbit a swing
ing blow on the side of its head which
laid bunny out completely.
Another snake was observed to creep
onto a quail sitting on a scrubby tree.
This snake twisted about four inches of
its tall along a limb of the tree and used
all tho rest of its body for a hammer
and handle to whack tho quail on the
head such a stinging blow that it died
without a flutter of its wings. Tho
snake seemed to have tho wonderful
power of lengthening its body out near
ly double its normal length and as small
as a whalebone whip, tho heavier part
being next to the part wrapped around
tho treo.
After killing the quail and rabbit tho
snako hammered tho body into a pulp,
bones and all, with its head, and thon
swallowed the whole business. Tho
swallowing showed that tho hammer
part of the head could be laid back out
of the way while the swallowing was
done.
Every effort possible with tho applU
nnces they had with them was made to
get ono of the snakes, but they failed.
Dr. Brown says in his letter that ho
will have one of these snakes to exhibit
at tho world's fair if It Is possible.
Immense Itestaurnnts and Kitchens
Throughout the G rounds There
Will lie Ample lloom for
the Iluucrr Visitors.
To feed tho multitude nt the fair next
year has been a question upon the solu
tion of which the hardest work of the
officials of tho exposition has been ex
pended. After months of labor and In
vestigation, of trials and interrogations,
the ways nnd means committee has
arranged a plan by which eatables nnd
drinkables will be furnished for all.
The most important concession in
tho hands of that committee will
soon bo granted, and, although the
names of the parties who will bo
awarded the privilege of handling the
restaurants in tho largo buildings have
not been divulged, Secretary Crawford
has Intimated that all tho restaurants
outside of special concessions will bo in
the hands of ono company. To feed the
people it is calculated to take at least a
trainload of provisions per day. It
would be impossible to properly oversee
the price lists and to prevent swindling
or bad food If tho restaurant in each
building were in tho hands of separate
persons. Therefore tho ways and means
committee proposes to have tilings ar
ranged so ns to bo able to place the
responsibility for any laxity, and to
prevent inadequate service to the public.
At tho southern end of the grounds
an immense kitchen will be built, capa
ble of providing for a restaurant with
a seating capacity of 12,000. In this
kitchen will bo cooked all provisions
for the main building restaurants,
thereby preventing tho smell of cooking
permeating the exhibit buildings, as
would bo the case were many kitchens
established.
In the forestry, agricultural, ma
chinery, manufactures, mines, trans
portation, fisher'es, electricity and
horticultural buildings space has been
reserved for cafes. In the total space
reserved it is calculated that between
12,000 and 15,000 people can bo served
at once. These restaurants will be
fitted up with warming tables, so that
meats, etc., will not be cold. In al
lotting the space for restaurants twelve
feet square was figured for each person,
so as to provide ample room for com
fort. After tho army of cooks in tho
mammoth kitchen havo prepared tho
food It will be conveyed to the restau
rant in wagons fitted up witli appli
ances for keeping things piping hot.
This service will require about fifty
wagons, nnd it is tho aim of tho com
mittee to ece to it that thero is no do-
lay in delivering the eatables.
Tho ways and means committee re-
serves the right on all successions to fix
the prices and tho measures, a Secretary
Crowford and Chairman Butler have
become so expert that they can tell off
hand how thick a slice of beef should
be to bring S3 cents, or how many pea-
I nuts legally constitutes a pint. The
wavs and means committee does not
I Intend to have odium cast upon the
fair by allowing things to run them
selves, and restaurants to reap golden
harvests for nothing. While it is tho
intention to make all concessions pay
I as well as possible, it is far from tho
calculations of tho fair officials that
comfort and fair treatment shall be
sacrificed to gain.
AFRICAN IRONMASTERS.
Artlstlo Workmen Sometimes Found In
the.llt-art or the Dark Continent.
Tho Bnlubans, as tho natives of the
Muansanyomma district of centra'.
Africa aro styled, enjoy an excellent
local reputation ns ironworkers. They
find their crudo material in the form of
bog iron ore on tho surface of tho land.
It rarely happens that digging to any
ppreeiablo depth is necessary. The
smelting furnaces, which are construct
ed of clay, are described by London
Iron as from six to ten feet high, from
forty to sixty inches in diameter at the
base and conical in shape. The oro is
tipped into the furnaco from above; the
charcoal, on tho other hand, is intro
duced into basin-like side openings,
which also receive a continuous nir
blast, while tho Iron and slag aro re
moved from the bottom of the furnace
about every eight or twelve hours, ac-
;ording to the degreo of heat obtained.
Tho forgo is a circular building, some
sixteen feet in diameter, with a pointed
roof and open side. At a distance it
might 1)0 taken for a park band stand.
In tho center of this hut is tho fire,
which is maintained in constant activ
ity by means of a unlquo pair of bel
lows, which merit a special description.
They consist of a block of wood, gener
ally twenty Inches long, hollowed out
and fitted with a funnel head made out
of clay. At the lower end aro two
orifices, over which skins are stretched:
Motion is imparted to the instrument
by the action of two small rods. The
hammer is of solid Iron; the tongs are
marvels of simplicity to-wit: A bent
palm branch. An iron wedge driven
into a Umber hole serves as an anvil.
The recollections of tho Balubans
carry them back to the timo when thoy
wrought metals with stone tools. Some
of tho natives are comparatively artistic
workers, very fine axes, tastefully in
laid with copper, aro produced. Strikes
among these swarthy artificers, it
should be noted, are of comparatively
raro occurrence, probably owing to the
fact that tho malcontents invariably
havo their heads lopped off and their
skins placed on ono side for patching,
or in case of need entirely recovering
the aforesaid curious bellows.

Two Hundred Founds or Silverware
covered from a Tennessee Cavo.
The unearthing of a large quantity
of stolen silverware, gold-lined snuff
boxes, etc., in a cave near Jasper,
Tenn., has created a sensation. The
story beats fiction a long way. During
the winter of 1803-4 the federal soldiers
wero encamped for some time on Battle
creek. Among them was an Ohio regi
ment Not long since a gentleman ap
peared in tho neighborhood and told
tho correspondent of the Houston
(Tex.) Post the following story: Ho
was a member of the Ohio regiment re
ferred to, and in his mess was a soldier
who was a born thief and who never
let an opportunity pass to steal any
thing ho could carry away. During
tho timo they were encamped at tho
mouth of Battle creek ho hid his steal
ings in a cave, and so clever was ho in
his work that no suspicion ever fell on
him. A short timo ago tho two old
comrades were together talking over
their experiences, when tho Btory of
the stolen silverware was told and tho
request mado that tho gentleman re
ferred to visit tho locality, search for
tho cave and, if possible recover the
hidden silverware and restore tho ar

Not only their poets and philosophers,

plans of hh committee, said the other
day;
"Of course, we aro going to make
everything pay, but it is a mistaken
idea circulated by certain newspapers
that wo have sacrificed too much space
for restaurants and concessious. Wo
have not encroached upon tho exhibit
ors' space. Now my idea isithat, if tho
fair is to bo a success, it is very essen
tial that tho creature comforts of tho
visitors be looked after, l'irst, feed a
man if you want him to enjoy him
self. Tho restaurants are something
more than money makers.
"They are necessary conveniences. If
we shut them out we destroy an ele
ment which is indispensable. As the
matter was originally fixed the Bpaco
for restaurant was marked on tho plan
of each building beforo any spaco ques
tion was considered. In total we havo
room enough in tho largo buildings to
accommodate 13,000 people at ono sit
ting. That takes up 120,000 feet or
thereabouts. I have seen it in print
that in tho machinery building so much
spaco had been devoted to restaurants
that tho exhibitors had left about 150,-
000 square feet less than was allowed
that department at tho centennial in
1670. Vou must take into consideration
that wo havo immense buildings de
voted to machinery, electricity, mines
and transportation exhibitsexelusively.
At the centennial all of those depart
ments were comprised under tho head
of machinery. We have so thoroughly
discussed tho care and comfort of visit
ors that I believe wo are now practical
ly beyond any addition to the arrange
ments. There will be no objectionable
features to tho restaurants in the largo
buildings ns the cooking will be done
outside.
"In addition to the restaurants men
tioned there will be others on the
ground and In Jlidway Plnlsanco that
will probably seat 80,000 to 80,000 peo
ple. Equipped so thoroughly in every
department, I can seo no cause for al
leging that we will not attend to tho
wants of every one, and I think that
no one will find any offensive fuuture
in the whole plan.

In their present unpleasantness in
Dahomey the French, as In Algeria and

form of a square. They have no flanks

this fcaturo of their tactics as ono of
tho most effective measures to prevent
surpriso and insure victory. It was by
I thus deploying their forces that they
overcame the armies of Samory and

Abrabam Lincoln
Wben leaving his home at Springfield, 111.,
to be Inaugurated President of tbe United
Btates, msde a farewell addresa to bis old
friends and neighbors, In which he said,
'.Neighbors give your boys a cbauce."
These words como with bb much force to
day as they did thirty years ago.
How give tbcm this chance?
Up In the Northwest is a great empire wait
ing for young and sturdy fellows to como
and develop it and "grow up with the coun.
try." All over this broad land aro tbeyounc
fellows, the boys that Lincoln referred to,
seeking to better their condition and get on
in life.
Hero Is their chance 1
The country referred to lies nlong tho
Northern Pacific It. It. Here you can find
pretty much anything you want. In Minne
sota, and in tbe Kid lllver Valley of North
Dakota, the finest of prairie lands fitted for
wheat and grain, or as well for diversified
farming. In Western North Dakota, and
Montana, are stock ranges limitless In extent,
clothed with tho most nutritious of grasses.
If a fruit farming region Is wanted there Is
tbe whole Blato of Washington to select from.
As for scenlo delights tbe Northern l'aclllo
Itallroad passes through a country unparal
leled. In crossing the Rocky, Bitter Itoot,
and Cascade Mountains, the greatest moun
tain sccnory to be seen la tbo United States
from car windows Is found. The wonderful
bad lands, wonderful in graceful form and
glowing color, are a poem. Lakes Peud
d'Orellle and Coeur d'Alone, are alone worthy
of a truns continental titp, wblle they are the
fisherman's Ultima Thule. The ride along
Clark's Fork ol the Columbia lllver Is a day
light dream. To cap the climax this Is the
only way to reach the far Yellowstone Park.
To reach and seo all this the Northern
Pacific- Itallroad furnish trains and service of
unsurpassed excellence. The most approved
and comfortable Palace Bleeping cars; the
best Dining cars that can be made; Pullman
Tourist cars good for both first and sccoLd
class passengers; easy riding Day coacnes,
with Bagpagp, Express nnd Postal cars all
drawn by powenul llaldwln Licomotlvcs,
maKo a train 111 for doniuem lnelf.
Those sees Ing lor new homes should take
this train and go and sry nut tlie land. Toba
