SLEDoCiPEDE.-Thcy do some very
fair coasting up in Virginia. consider
ing the quality Of sleds or sleighs they
have, but there are plenty Of Gold Hill
ers that eau beat them, even with their
own sledS. We don't use amy of those
common contrivances down here,
though nothing but long, low, raklsh,
| clipper-built, round, spring-steel runner
sleighs will answer at all down mere,
and in fact the boys are now trying TO
improve even upon these by operating II
now tangled sleigh with only one run
ner. This ''sledocipcde" goes like "
| streak of CREASED lightning through n
cooseberry bush. All You have to do
is to sit square, keep your head level,
and guide the thing by canting it "a
little one side or the other by means OF
a tall peg which sticks up like n small
mast in front. This queer little ar
ranrsmcut can BIO seen Mt Lee Il Jow-
et.'s paint shop, Gold Hill. Nyc, the
carpenter, at the upper end Of town, is
irving to build ono without any runner
at ali, the coaster balancing and sus.
tanning himself just by his toen"ils and
eyebrows.
INrERTaL-ENPIRE.--The shutting OF
tho miners down in the mine has only
had the effect thus far OF destroying all
confidence in the good faith Of the man
ayers thereof elected by the very stock
Io xa AZ nNoAa StnntlIIer9 -
This total lack of confidence is shown IN
tina great break which has taken place in
the Imperial stock, dropping, as it has,
nearly one-third in price. since the min
crs have been shut down. The dodge
is too old completely played out, and
the miners will probably be let ont in
two or three days longer. The ledge
has been penetrated Mt tho l,0Oo-foot
Level 4 few feet, and promising.looking
quartz developed, with n small increase
! Of water. At the lower or |, lOO-foot
level they have about got through that
thick clay wall.
