THE MINES. Work is going right aloog in the new mining district. At the Tom Clark shaft drifting has begun on the lead ore body and by the time we went to press at least 20,000 pounds had been put in the bin. This means lump ore only, as tne fine dirt has not yet been cleaned up, and it is very rich in lead ore. A drift six feet square is being run and it shows exceedingly rtcn stun.

Among the lead a large quantity of silicate is being found, in tact there is very little waste dirt We understand a mill will be built at the Sunny Side mine and that work will soon begin. Several outside parties are De- coming interested in the new district by lease, and we understand an option has been given on tne Bingham forty where jack was found by a drill from 126 to 182 feet. Verily, things are looking mucn brighter. FOUND DEAD MAN. Dr.

R. C. Wear Made Chastly Discovery Sunday Morning. Dr. R.

C. Wear made a startling and at the same time ghastly dis covery Sunday morning. He drove out to the race track and in the large barn found the dead body of a man. It was at first thought the fellow had committed suicide, but after a fuller investigation it was decided he had died of heart failure. Mr Ervin, manager of the driving park, had gone away the day before and left the fellow there to look after things.

He was to sleep overhead in the big barn. The sheriff, coroner and county attorney were notified and came upon the scene, but after a searching investigation it was decided that the suicide theory was not tenable, neither was there anything to indicate foul play, so an inquest was deemed unnecessary. Some trouble was experienced in learning the name of the unfortun ate man, but it was learned, finally, that hia name was Thomas Brock England, and that he was a resident of the Indian Territory. Fur-ther investigation developed that he was during the war a member of the First Iowa Cavalry. The remains were removed to Harvey's undertaking rooms where they were prepared for burial.

Monday afternoon the remains were interred in the Baxter cem etery. BAD ACCIDENT. Tuesday night about 9:30 o'clock E. A. Mapes went to the Masonic lodge room to take a flash light pic ture of the Royal Arch Chapter while it was in session.

He got his paraphernalia all in shape and just as be was ready to make the flash, with the blow tube in bis mouth, the chemicals exploded and Mr. Mapes received injuries which will lay him up for sometime. His mouth and throat were badly burned, while his left hand was not only burned, but badly torn. A heavy band ring, worn on the left hand, was torn in two and an idea of the force of the explosion cau be gained from this. Mr.

Mapes was taken to his home on Lincoln street where he is rest ing very comfortably at present TEACHERS WANTED. We need at once a few more teach ers, both experienced and inexper ienced.
