The preliininary estimate of Mr.

the production of gold and silver In
the United States during the er.londar
year Hioi indicates only a slight gain
over the production of the preceding
year. The yield of Alaska fell off by
about one million dollurs. Colorado
made a slight gain in gold and the
other producers were nearly stationary.
The yield of silver exceeded that of
the previous year by about two million
line ounces. The total number of
ounces of tine gold produced is shown
to lime Won 3,830,r.7S of the value of
8M.218,M)0. The number of flneoiincis

Tlic coinage value of the silver is ap

Colorado leads the states in the pro

A special from Hot Springs .Junction
Ariz., says that (Jeorge . Bryan, a
well known cattleman, was murdered
just outside his cabin at the San Do
mingo cattle ranch near Castle Cieok,
Hot Springs, and that the body was
found by lien Swinlnflger, a neighbor
ing cattleman. Tins Indications are
that the old man had been attacked by
several enemies and was shot by rilfo
balls while ho made an effort to 'defend
liimself with a Hhotgun. It is not
thought that he was killed by outlaws
or desperate characters, but when the
slayers are captuted their idontics will
produce a seusation. Officers from
1'rcscott and Phoenix have gone to the
scene and nre now hot on the
trail of the murderers, which leads in
to the Castle Creek mountains.
Bryan was a wealthy cattleman who
has lived in Arizona many years. He
was peaceable and not known to have
had enemies, although It is said he re
cently had quarrels with cattlemen in
in the same region over the breeding
of calves on open ranges.
The dead man was in some way ie
latcd to William .leiinliigs Bryan,
llrnter City AkuIii Ncordii'rt.
For the second time in four months

Seven buildings of the south side were

The streets are to be patrolled dur

will be expected to keep the town free
of the criminal class. Everybody on
the street at night will be expected to
give an account of themselves and fall

army of Argentina, cm a peace footing,
numbers 21,515 oillcers and men; that
of Chllo 19.7C0 officers nnd men. Tho
Argentine navy consists of four roast

JACK RABBITS IN NEBRASKA.
Tlioy Hutu lli-rninii mi Inliilornbln
MiiUniiro Dentroy Crop.
Experts connected with tho entomo
logical department of the Nebraska
univorslty are giving much thought to
tlio discovery of meaiiB of exterminat
ing tho Jack rabbit, which has become
an Intolerable nuisance. He is an In
teresting specimen of the useless
among anlmuls, nnd can be explained
only on tho ground advanced by the
Oermnn fnther in reply to the In
quiry of his son as to what tho kan
garoo was good for: "Well, my boy,
tho Auatialluns must have something
to laugh nt."
Nebraska has two varieties, the black
lull and the silver tall, but while dis
tinct varieties there is no appreclnblo
difference In their size, habits or food
preferences. Tho fomniea of the spe
cies aro surprisingly piollflc.
Nature doubtless has somo use for
Jack rabbits, but did not want too
many of them. So their natural oneiny
was provided In tho coyote, who kept
them within bounds. But tho coyote Is
a disagreeable neighbor and the Ne
braska authorities offerod a bounty for
coyote scalps which resulted in their
practical extermination.
This was tho Jack rabbit's opportun
ity, says the New York Times. Ho
put his Iioubo In order and proceeded
to devoto his best energies to tho rais
ing of children, In which he has been
remarkably 'successful, nut tho Ne
braska farmers aro not much better
satisfied with them than with tho coy
otes. They orguo thnt while farming may
be a healthful and agreeable occupa
tion, it is not wholly satisfactory from
the oconomlc point of view if the farm
er's principal business In life is to raiso
food for the Jack rabbits, who appro
priate it without compensation. The
result of his dissatisfaction will un
doubtedly be that tho Jack rabbit will
sooner or later be decimated and, per
haps, exterminated.

IN A WESTERN STORM.

Thero was a fearful storm hi tho
lowlands yesterday forenoon nt 1
o'clock, and a gieat many trees, somo
two feet in diameter, were picked up
out of tho ground and hurlod Into tho
air to bo dashed to the enrth again
with terrific force. As far as can bo
learned thero was no loss of life. Tho
storm spent Its fury In a path about
100 yards wide and two miles long, it
Is approximated.
Levi 8. Wild, manager of tho West
ern Union Telegraph company, of
this city, and Dryan Irvine wont to
Bornlco Saturday night, nnd yester
day morning engaged a team nnd
drove out to Hondley's place, about
four miles and a half up the lowlands
from Bcrnlcc. They wore chatting In
Hoadloy's cabin, when Mr. Irvine look
ed out ot the window to tho west, and
remarked that he saw the blackest
cloud he had ever beheld. The other
gentlemen noticed tho ominous ap
pearanco ot tho black bank of cloud
In tho sky, but paid no moro attention
to it until it began to sprinkle, when a
great gust of strong wind reminded
tho party within of th black cloud.
Tho rain resolved itsolf Into a hall
storm, and soon the largest hailstones
that any one of tho men ever saw
poured down In a threatening man
ner. The root of tho cabin was Inade
quate and the boards were rent asund
er and great Btones ralnod and pelted
down upon tho floor, bounding back
toward the celling violently. Still the
cabin was not in tho teeth of tho
storm, tor Mr. Wild said he could see
the terrible execution It was doing
across tho creek, 100 yards distant.
Trees wore torn up and dashed to tho
ground, and tho wind lifted ,them high
in the air and carried them great dis
tances. It was feared at tho timo that

teen minutes later nnd said tho road
was llternlly strewn with ttees. They
had secured shelter in a ctevasse, and
were unhurt. They saw a whole hill
side denuded of ItH follago and donso
growth of trees. Somo of tho trees
were nearly throe feet In dlamctor,
and they were piled Indiscriminately
upon ono another. There were at

Into a heap in about two minutes.
The havoc was terrible to behold.

Shark Are Alway Coward.
Although sharks are esteemed the
greatest terrors of tho ocean they are
in reality the greatest cowards of
tho finny tribe. The fiercest shark will
get out of tho way of a swimmer if
thn latter sets up a noisy splashing. A
shark fears anything that splashes in
tho water. Among tho South Sea Is
lands the natives never go bathing
alone, but always In parties of half a
dozen or so In order that they may
make a great hubbub in the water, and
thus frighten away the sharks. Onco
