"'U' STKUCK IT 1UC1I. Former Mlchljjan Engineer's Find at Cripple Creek. Word has been, received at Iron Mountain of tbe discovery; of a ' mine of fabulous wealth 1 at Cripple Creek,- Colo., by E. Everett, 'formerly civil engineer at tbe Lud inton mino io Jron Mountain. ' . Mr. Everett wept to Colorado three years ago and tpctfan prospecting. Recently he leased, the Monument mine at Buttle. Mountain, neur Qrjnplo Creek. :' ' Vbe payers at Crlpplo Creek say fiomo of the ore is almost solid metal and will run from 1150,000 to $350,000 to the ton. Mrs. Everett is visiting her mother at Irou Moun tain, and received the 'uews of her( husband's bis strike Tuesday morn ing. Comimiiy Helng Organized. A dispatch from Milwaukee says that "after a period of enforced idle ncss of more than five years, the Irou River mine at Stambaugh, Mich., is to be placed in operation next spring. A company is now be ing organised for the purpose and there is little doubt tho property will be worked to its full capacity. The Florence Iron River Mining company operated it until that com pany went into receivership. The superior court entered an order directing tho sale of the Michigan property Jan. 7th. The real estate of the Florence-Iron HiverMining company, in Michigan and the prop erty at Florence, Wis., including the Florence mine, were ordered Bold on February 7th. For Housekeeper. Here is a recipe which should be cut out and pasted on one corner of the kitchen mirror, where it can bo seen, for it will save many dollars' worth of time and strength. . Shave five cakes of good havd soap into just enough boiling water to dis solve them nicely. Stir constantly until the soap is dissolved, then add two tablespoons powdered borax, and a scant teacup kerosene. Stir it well, then pour it into a covered stone jar, and use it whenever any thing very dirty, either, cloth, tin ware,, woodwork or, iron utensils, is to be cleaned. Apply a little on the outside of your teakettle when it is very hot, using a flannel cloth Jor the purpose, and . see how quickly -you can clean it, and how bright it will be. Use a little, also, when cleaning your windows, and you will never again regard that task as something to be put off as long as , possible. For cleaning sinks, wash basins and slop jars there is nothing that can equal it, and by its use tbe dish towels can be kept nice and white without rubbinz. Put them into a pan of cold water.add enough of the compound to form a good Buds, and let them come slowly to a boil. Let them boil until they are Kufliciently clean, then rinse them and bang them out. Such work will almost do itself, while one is attend ing to other duties, and tho task of keeping clean is thus robbed of more than half its terrors. Ex. A WOULD CAPITAL NOW. This Is a New Yorker's Idea of Ills Big, Bustling Town. "It's quite a journey, the trip across the continent," said a New Yorker, "and even the American, accustomed as he is to great dis tances, and to everything on a big scale, thinks in his heart, the first time he makes it, that this is a big country. But I venture to say that we shall presently discover that we have been but provincials, and that feeling will come to us together that we are , now . citizens of the world, indeed, when we come to see our flag floating over distant shores. "The eastern man who travels for days, day and nigbt.before he comes to the confines of his own country, ran not fail to be impressed by the magnitude of it. But now, instead of stopping at San Francisco, he kept on for days across thq broad Pacific, to And his flag flyiog on tbe Hawaiian Islands, these belonging r to ha own country. " And theri on again for days, till he comes to lands ' not mere J islands in tho sea.' but.' ocean bound though ..they are,' con- tiderable; territories over which bis flag . floats. Now he's v half way round the ' world.v but on . bis own son still,' and; New York seems no , longer simply, a great , city; with a .' world-wide trade,'"it; Is true, but, after all, tnj the chief city' of a great .country it seems now ajorld ''coital; Cut not entirely 5 so. ,We w?nt c ,.-3tliC.bwi, -.'There' !'.

It's the nature of .things that we should, and when that time comes the citizen of this town when be walks Broadway will realize that It is no longer merely a "part of a local road that runs a few thousand miles and stops,but tho busy sec tion of a pike that "goes round the worjd,'' New York Sun. WAU COSTS $50 A SIXONI). At Least that 19. tbe Price Europe ; Pays for Armed Peace". It is estimated that since the daysi of the Trojan war no fewer than 1.200.000.000 men have- been sacri ficed on the altar of the god of war. If it were possible to gather to gether these millions of war victims into one ghastly army they -would form a column. 157 abreast, . long enough to clasp tho earth at the equator, with a residue of 10 similar columns stretching from Loudon, across Europe, to Naples. If this file were to pass a saluting point at tho rate of one every second, night as well asday.the last "snauo would only become visible in tho autumn of 193G. Two and a half million men fell on European battlefields during the first half of this century alone; aud Wis slaughter cost Europe the colossal sum of $6,850,000,000. Each victim cost $2,740 to kill. A calculation as careful as is pos sible places the total cost of war during the last 3,000 years at the appalling sum of $600,000,000,000. All the countries of Europe are spending on their armies and navies at the rate of nearly $50 a second, or the almost incredible sum of $1,000,000 a day. Exchange. U.OOO KILLED. Big Battle Between Turks and Insurgents. Constantinople! Jan. 12. -A great battle has been fought in the Yemen division of Arabia. The Turkish troops stormed and captured thu insurgent position at Shanel on Nov. 30. , About 4,09 i insurgents and 2,000 Turk's were killed or wounded. Another Combine. New York, Jan. 11. The Evening Post savs: A movement is in prog ress for a consolidation of the in terests of the leading American manufacturers of gas and electric light fixtures. The value of the total annual output of these fixtures in the United States is about $b, 000,000. There are practically neither imports nor exports of these fixtures, but if the projected com bination is effected it is not im probable that new markets will be sought and an export business es tablished. The interests of about 18 manufacturing concerns are to be vnited, representing about 90 per cent of the total yearly output in the trade. The substantial assets of these firms and companies with out reckoning in the value of their good will, patterns, etc., are es timated at over $5,000,000. Hiram Walker Passes Away. Hiram Walker, of Detroit, the famous distiller, died at his home in that city Thursday morning. He was nearly 82 yoars of age and worth about $15,000,000. Cuba's Tobacco Crop. New York, Jan. 12. It is report ed here that a syndicate of 21 bankers' has been formed which will endeavor, to control tho tobacco crop of Cuba. The plan is said to involve the purchase of every Cuban tobacco plantation, if they can be purchased at a reasonable figure. If the syndicate is successful it may purchase a number of cigar factories and make Havana cigars. . -USES LOTS OP LfeATllEIt.' Germany's Consumption Worth Oyer $100,000,000 a Year.
