When down twenty feet a great flow of water was encountered, and’ the Superintendent regards this as an indication that’ his company has a good prospect. The soft lava formation they are in now is an additional encouraging sign. The owners of the mine are W. L. Baker, Geo. Gehrig, J. W. Hyatt and Robert Scanlon.

Lecturing in Pittsburg lately, Bob Ingersoll said: “I have studied the wars of the world, aud I have to.say to you that for the first time in the -history of the human race a war for humanity is being waged. President McKinley, by his patience, has gained the sympathy of the civilized world. He has demonstrated that statesmanship is not a lost art. Iam sorry for Spain; she is the victim of superstition. She . is a theologival bankrupt; a religious . tramp. Her religious bigotry ‘caused her to drive out the Moors, who were her industry,and the Jews who were her intelligence. She once owned half . : the world, now she has nothing but a few islands—the small change of her} fortunes, And the change will soon be . gone. I’m sorry for Spain. She once held half the gold of the world; now she is.counting the pennies of poverty. After Cuba is free we shall still have a little account to settle with her for the assassination of the brave sailors of the Maine, and when that is settled I shall be still sorrier for Spain.” He Wanted to Change. A young matron was putting her five=. _ year-old son to bed the other night during a terrific windstorm. When she was about to leave him he objected vociferously against staying alone! while the storm raged. “But, dear,” . said the mother, “you must not mind the storm.
