In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
there is a mine Of nickel, owned by a
close corporation, not exceeding four
or five persons. The owners reside in
Philadelphia, and have a monopoly.
Nickel is used principally in the man
ufacture of German silver. 1t now
bears n duty of ID per cent. The cost
of production is comparatively trifling.
we notice that Mr.. Kelley, the Phil
adelphia Congressman, in his plan for
reducing taxation, proposes to double
the duties on nickel! There is a very
rich nickel mine out in Humboldt
County, in this State-a TACT not gen.
orally known-and'a very rich speci-
men of which is now lying on our edi-
torial table. 1t is believed to contain
seventy per cent. of metal. Our hardy
prospectors in the wilderness are fast
discovering and developing riches
in the State of Nevada, such as nobody
q few years ago believed existed here.

CONFEDERATE BoNDs.-The cable in

Gently, owing to the probability of a
speedy settlement of the Alabama
claims. This only proves that while
some Englishmen are wise, some are
otherwise. The holders of the rebel
bonds in England, or elsewhere, have
as much chance Of getting their money
for them from the United States as JEFF.
Davis has Of being our next President,
and that chance cannot properly be
considered a brilliant one. tits rather
a curious evidence Of the stupendous
fatality with which Englishmen cling
to an idea, that they still hope to be
paid by this Government for losses in
CURED by them in aiding its enemies
in time Of war to destroy it. 1t is not
a reasonable hope, one would suppose ;
but all the same it is desperately per
severed in. Any compromise of the
Alabama matter looking to the pay
ment Of those bonds would not only
never reach the Senate, but it never
would be considered for a moment by
any official in the country. There are,
doubtless, gold mines yet unworked in
that country of Poe's, situated "over
the mountains Of the moon," and it
would be rather safer to invest in their
treasures than in the cotton bonds Of
the late Confederate States.

SACRAMENTO, December 29.-A few
minutes past 6 o'clock last evening q
man named Cook, who had just arrived
from Cache Creek on the 8 o'clock
freight train, had his left arm run over
by the cars, in Washington, and
crushed to,a jelly. It appears that the
unfortunate man, who is about 60
years OF age, was quito drunk, and
after getting off the cars he walked
across the track two or three times, but
was taken in charge by one of the en-
ployes of the road and compelled to
90 away. when next seen he was
lying by the side of another track, his
left arm resting on the rail and crushed
from, the shoulder to the wrist, several
cars having probably run over it while
the up freight train was being sepa-
rated. He was brought to this city
and taken to the County Hospital.
The new Railroad Hospital Is nearly
ready for occupancy, and is: rapidly
advancing to completion. The work
of testing the gas and water pipes and
fixtures Of the building was conducted
by officers Of tho company and Others
yesterday morning, and resulted most
satisfactorily. ss

Is rubbed with croton Oil and tartar

very hard and brittle. After this is
effected, the material is washed with

mixed with some substance which
makes the particles adhere together,

of gum. 1t Is then pressed into moulds,

TIE present winter, it has been
prophesied, will be aseason Of unusual
severity. The facts upon which this
prediction rests have generally been
based upon observations Of the animal
and vegetable creation, but a French
asriculturalist has recently published
in the Patrie a table Of statistics from
which he derives the theory that a Sc
we're winter occurs once in every ten
years. From this table it appears that
in 1879 wine was frozen in the cellars
in many parts of France; in 1893
there were forty-nine days of uninter-
rupted cold weasher; in 1909 the prin-
cipal rivers in Northern France were
lrozen over, and in 1919 and 1920 the
winters were bitterly cold, and the
suffering undergone by the poor was
intense. The next cold winter, how
ever, cid not occur in 1889, but was
postponed until 1910, when ffty-nine
days Of severe weather, OF whlch
twenty-nine were consecutive, We're
experienced. In 1859 the thermometer
fell to four degrees Fahrenheit.
Whether cold weather has been or is to
be our lot or not this winter, Nature
has certainly manifested itself here in
a most extraordinary manner by shocks
of earthquakes-for we have had them
regularly every night for the last four
nights-to the infinite disgust of nearly
everybody who desired sleep and rest.
The weather, too, since the Garth
quakes, especially at nights, is quite
cold enough. 1t is difficult for any Of
us to tell when this "foolishness" is
| going to stop.
