A NRw CAGE.-Frank Thayer and
Aleck Dunn. two as practical and useful
men connected with a mine as we know Of
in this State, yesterday tried the workings
of a new cage in the shaft of the Savage,
which they have invented. We were not
present when the trial was made, but a
FrtanA ~ n,,ra ,.aa and ha haa p,NnnfAlN |
described the experiments made yesterday,
which certainly places this ahead OF any
thing ever before invented as a safety
cage" A car was loaded with about a
ton of ore at the bottom of the shaft. and
raised to pear the top, when the cable was
cut. The entire load, not less than two
and a half tons. including the car, the cage,
and the ore. fell less than a quarter OF an
inch-the whole weight being instantly
caught BY a set Of long, sharp teeth which 6
are sprung into the guides and timbers on
each side of the shaft, holding the heavy a
weight firmly locked 10 the shaft. An
adjustment Of the cable instantly with
draws the teeth, and lets them free from I
contact. This invention OF Thayer \ G
Dunn is represented 10 US as being entirely a
different from that Of Frank Denver \ Co., t
and its mechanical discoveries are going q
to apply for a patent, as it is spoken OF by q
Charley Bonner and others as superior 10
any safety cage ever invented. Call and
see il at the Curtis shaft.
TURxEY.-Some one who knows our
weakness is that Of good living, yesterday :
sent US. neatly don't up in an empty 5000 :
don't box, a Mount Davidson turkey.
These delicious fowls have the plumsge
of the French nightingale, which. at this {
season Of the year. are said to be quite nu- '
merous on Mount Davidson-making the
air melodlouS AZ early dawn. This turkey,
however, was not as fat as could be
wished. In truth, Jobs must have pos
sessed more than ordinary advantages
over it-and the Lord knows that Jobs
favorite bird has never been credited by
mankind with having as much fat on its Z
body as would make Il smoke on a red-hot
stove. Whoever the generous donor is "
by the way. he forgot 10 send his card-he
will accept our thanks for his liberal con- -
alteration in our behalf. His present
looks about as "chap-fallen' as most OF
the candidates in the late Union County {
Convention I; or q hGrk when he fails to
catch the chicken he dives for. SEND some-
thing better next time. 4
SAY, wHsRE ARE THEY:-The Post )
master of Gold Hill this morning received
a letter from a gentleman in New York '
city-who has evidently never been west
Of the MISUNDERSTANDING inquiry about
some friends who he says lived in Gold Z
Hill. He is afraid they are lost, as the
last he heard OF them "they were expected
70 take the next train Of cars from Gold
Hill for the East" and that he has heard ,
the train was thrown off the track, and I
all the passengers killed by the Indians"
Very likely. The Indians are very bad.
and the railroad leading out of Gold Hill
for New York is still worse. We would
sugges, to the New Yorker that be take !
the cars and come out TO this place. he 1
will know more about Washoe.

Exchange. has been over on the ives, side

miles back Of the west shore of the Lake, a
also the skin Of a very large beaver, and A
