who was poring over a pile of ledgers in
the counting-room of one of the larg

addressed turned toward the speaker and
regarding him fer a moment with look OF
surprise, inquired
"What security can you give me, Mr..
Srosser ?"
Nothing but my note,' replied the
young man promptly,
Which fear would be below par in

A Wonderful Land with Stone
Trees Six Hundred Feet Long.

In the Eastern Slope newspaper we find
report of the many curiosties and the
great riches Of the Black Rock country in
the Northwestern portion of California The
reports of the singular features of that sec
tiop are of many years standing, but are 80
marvellous that they have seldom obtained
credence. Among the wonderful stories
we have heard is one that there is petri-
fed tree there seven hundred feet in length.
The present report in part confirms pre-
vious statements aud establishes the fact
that Black Rock is one of the wonders OF
the Pacific coast, like the Yo Semitic, the
Big Trees, the Geysers, eto. Besides the
curiosties there appears to be an abundance
of silver at Black Rock, but the ore is said
to be of an unusual variety and very diff
cult to work but il has been worked with
very good results at the mills at Washoe.
rhe quality of ore is so great that it is said
it will Justify the erection of a thousand
mills. a gentleman who visited the section,
has exhibited to the editor of the Eastern

liar to the country. strange petriiactions

Among the latter list of wonders is great

stone ranging from six to fifteen feet in di-
ameter, aud from three to six hundred feet
