COULDN'T PLAY IT on HIM.-0ne OF
the erudite Allopathic doctors up at
Mud Springs, has a great idea Of the
universal prevalence of the tapeworm.
Whenever he gets a case of sickness to
treat, it matters not whether The disease
be venereal, consumptive, or the mea-
sles, he examines the tongue, Puise'
eyes, and ears, and Immediately sus-
poets the presence Of a forty-foot tape
worm. He succeeded in Extracting u
of these peculiar monsters from n worny
individual n couple of years ago, inc
has imagined the same worm 20 oe eA-
trncted in AZ least IL dozen cases since.
He had a thin, hatchet-fhced patient
recently, whose raveuous appetite and
general appearance really did warrant
the suspicion of his being worrny. The
doctor accordingly put the poor devil
through n course Of starvation, purging,
vomiting, and everything except
c%hloroform, for q week, without
succeeding in either expelling the worm
or killing the patient, when thinking,
perhaps, that q good effect might be
produced on his victims condition
through his Imagination, he brought
his old stand by" up from the office,
and after rolling and manipulating his
unfortunate patient awhile, exhibited to
gaze the aforesaid worm in a wash bowl.
The poor, weakened, half dead victim,
gazed at it listlessly for a moment, and
then his eyes suddenly lightened with
an amused expression, "No, no, doc
tor" said he, waving his thin hand
family ; otis pretty good, but 'twon't
do. You can't play that thing on me.
That's an old acquaintance. l know
every fold and wrinkle Of that id old
worm. He's been bottled up and
knocking about your Office for the last
two years. You could play him on old
Snyder, little Jones' wife, "Slim jack"
and all the rest of 'em, but be id if
YOU can play the old cuss off on me-"
The doctor left in despair, and the pa
tient is getting well.
INpERIAL-EMPIRE. The side drifts
both north and south from the 900-foot
level Imperial drift Of the new shaft,
which were commenced q few days
since, are fairly opened and have pro-
crossed n short distance, following
the small seams Of rich ore which were
cut through near the east clay wall of
the ledge. 1t is anticipated, and with
good reason, that these small seams
will eventually lead into u good body
of ore. The north side drift is expected
to Gu, the excellent pay streak known
to exist ut the lower level of the Alpha
mine. The last Of this month it is pro-
posed to sink an incline on the west wal
Of the ledge, from the old Imperial
shaft, to intersect and meet the drift
being run west at the 900-foot level o.
the new Imperial-Em pire shaft. The
proposed incline will be over 200 feet in
length, as the difference in depth be.
tween the lower level of the old mine
and the new drift or 900-foot level is l9C
feet, thus prospecting a large extent OF
new ground. A great advantage gain
ed in making the proposed connection
of the old works with the new drift will
be the unlimited supply Of pure air
throughout the lowest workings, rs n
strong draught will Immediately set in
from one shaft to the other, n consum-
nation most devoutly to be wished, rs
it is a very expensive and dificult. job
lust at present to force even n poor sup
ply Of fresh mir down into the 900-foot
level. 1t is most i~ntolerably hot down
there now, and the sooner the proposed
connection is made the better. The
lower levels of all our Gold Hill mines
are looking finely ut present, better
than those of Virginia, and we hope
soon to record something comforting at
the Imperial lower level. Amen say
all the stockholders who read this item.
