THE O’NEILL FRONTIER D. H. CRONIN. Publisher. XNEILL, NEBRASKA .— Butte Hill, far famed ns the ngnest mineral producing spot in the world, is an insignificant rise of land, not over 300 feet above the river level In tho valley, says the Wall Street Summary. It is, approximately, two and a half miles In length by two miles In width, and is an irregular oval In shape. The richest ore producing portion, however, is centered In a space of about two square miles. Within that limit there are no fewer than forty principal shafts from 1,000 to 2,400 feet In depth, be-j sides many smaller and less import-, ant developments and prospects. Un derground there Is a network of drifts., cross-cuts and galleries, frequently In tersecting each other and connecting the deep workings of different mines. It is estimated that there Is more than 600 miles of such underground excava tions. The output from this single hill is upward of 14,000 tons of ore a day.i yielding more than 10,000 tons of re-' fined copper a month, exclusive of gold and silver, which Is fully 60 per cent, larger production than any other cupriferous district In the world. * The excessive prevalence of malaria in Greece Is enguging tho attention of Knglish physicians. It Is said to be checking tho development of rural life and Is a very serious thing for the na tion. Out of a population of 2,600,000 there were 250,000 cases of malaria an nually, and the deaths were about 1,750. Last year the number of cases In creased to 800,000, and the deaths to 6,910. Professor Savas, of tho Univer sity of Athens, and physician to King George, Is initiating a movement to deal with the plague. According to the Figaro, King Haak on and Queen Maud of Norway are making a novel collection consisting of newspaper cuttings, divided Into two albums: truo and false, says tho Lon don Times. In the latter category are all the comments and stories which have sprung from tho amiginatlon of Journalists. These are Inscribed, ''Things we have neither said nor done." It would be Interesting to learn In which album they have pasted up tho newspaper cutting referring to this collection. Says the Nauvoo, 111., Register: “A gentleman residing near Mt. Sterling is the possessor of a number of freak chickens. The fowls In question are ■mall, weighing when full grown ubout four pounds, and the peculiar thing Is that they have two horns which grow on the top of the head and meas ure from four and one-half to live Inches In length. The horns are shuped tho same as those of a goat. Why naturo has provided them no one has been able to explain.” It would not be difficult to compile a list of celebrated people who In re cent yeurs have engaged In two occu aptlons, sometimes exceedingly Incon gruous. Hut It has remained for Miss Susan Strong to combine singing and fine art laundering. Her explanation of on unconventional proceeding Is that she finds It difficult to make a satisfac tory living from singing alone. So she ha* started on her new work at a house in Baker street, Westminster. A plensant Incident happened at tho Crystal palace In London when Mme. Albanl wus once singing tho “French Partridge.” As soon as the con cert was over one of the audience, a gentleman well known us a good shot and a keen sportsman, called upon Mme. Albanl and said: "Madame, I am sorry to say that I have shot many a little 'red leg’ In my time; but after hearing you sing that song I will never kill another." The eminent French naval engineer, M. Laubeuf, In a paper In the Paris Matin, maintains that tho submarine is the one Ideal means of const defense for small states. The battleship, ho says, remains the unquestioned master of the high seas. Hut history teaches us that from Salamls, Mybe and Ae tlum to Llssa, Port Arthur and Tsu Shlmn all the important naval battles have taken place within sight of the const. . Straw covered the pavement In front of a certuln residence to deaden tho noise of passing vehicles. “Mister," asked a small boy' of a passerby,” "what’s this hay doin' out here?" “My son,” said the man, "the stork has just brought a baby to the woman who lives In this house." Tho boy looked onco more at the littered street and then said, with wide eyes: "Gee, It must have come well packed!” Some eels are hard to kill. A fish erman of Port Isaac, Cornwall, lCng land, recently cut up a large conger eel ho had caught for bait for his lobster pots, and twenty minutes afterward picked up the head to throw it into the sea. The jaws of the eel’s head opened and the fisherman’s forefinger was seized between the sharp teeth. Tho finger was badly hurt. The mere fact that a great many people huve been In the habit of using a railroad trestle as a footbridge and that the railroad company had made no complaint, says the court of ap peals of Kentucky, docs not give tho people any special rights on the bridge or compel the railroad company to ex ercise a special degree of care for their safety. In deciding a suit arising from tho delay of a shipment of threshers until after the season for the sale of such machinery had passed, the Kansas su preme court held that common car riers are charged with a knowledge of seedtime and harvest and the general customs relating thereto In the terri tory In which they do business.
