ELY D.srRIcr.-N. D. Norvell has in
formed the White Pine Netes that when he
left Ely Distric. there were about 800 men IN
the town OF Ely. and he met from l50 to zoo
more on the way thither. Ar. Novel;
practical miner OF many years experience
examined the mines thoroughly, and says
"they are in n porphyry formation, and
identical in appearance with the Comstock."
Reese Riser Rsreile.
Really, we have for some time
thought that the new district mast bear
some resemblance to the much-abused
''Comstock." Hardly a strike that
has ever been made, Of any value, has
been reported rs bearing a strong re-
semblance to the "Comstock." The
real Comstock, too, has been "played
ont so often. that people abroad have
go; tired hearing Of It. Still, the good
old ledge continues to shell out its
regular eight or ten millions a year.
and there is no let up yet. Confidence
and energy r two great essentials In
mining enterprises, Us we'll as other
kinds Of business.

MEy,co Is once more in the throes of

MEXICO Is once more In the throes of
revolution. 1t is to be feared that MI.
Stewards compliments to the Juarez
Government were rather diplomatic
than merited. Ignorance and super
stition are deadly enemies to Repub-
lies, and these twin vices are truly
Mexican. The effort to. establish an
enduring Republic in Mexico will
always fail while the standard Of intel
ligence Is held 90 low. The leaders
are intelligent enough, but the masses
behind them are simply stupid beyond
words to express. Then, too, the old
curse Of Spain-avarice-is rampant
among all classes. When Mexico has
a months respite from revolution she
falls into brigandage. So from one
evil to another, that unfortunate land
is handed over by an untoward, circum-
stantial fate.

CALIFORNIA.

For twenty years California has been
living, says the Springfield (Mass.l
Republicaa, las 1t were, apart, isolated,
and building up a magnificent provin-
cialism. Her nature was original, her
resources original, and the modes OF
doing business took on original laws,
as all her life took on original habits.
Speculation vas the groundwork Of
all her wealth and all her growth;
uncertainty and i~rregularity were the
laws of her prosperity. High prices,
vast profits, a grand and reckless way
Of business and Of life, pervaded all
her society and all her movements.
She had but two pieces Of money
double eagles and half dollars. The
one did the morning marketing; the
other was tossed to the gentlemen who
watered your horse or swung the gate
for your passage. Money came easy,
and 1t went easy. The community
drank champagne before breakfast, and
lived all day a sort Of champagne life,
white with foam, bubbling with gas"
To people In this condition of life
comes the Pacific Railroad, Of which

These fellows spread over the cities and vii.

Money grew tighter, business duller, labor

Tho "Dog" Identihcd-The Instrument Lost
Just previous TO Mr.. Nathnn's Murder.
The "dog" with which MIR. Nathan was muir
dered has at last been identified. Ten years ago it
was picked up In the street by servant OF MIR,
schenck, Of 323 Finh avenue, and by him taken
home. 1t was found useful In opening cases
and boxes and was frequently used for
these purposes. About three weeks before
Mr.. Nathan's murder, Mr.. schenck's residence
was entered by burglars and II is supposed that the
dog" was then stolen, as IL was seen In Mr.
Schenck's wine cellar day or two before the bur-
glsry.
After the description OF the instrument had been
published, member Of Mr. Schenek's family be
came convinced that IL was the missing dos" but
on examination could not positively Identity II.
Subsequently the servant WAC had used u examined
the implement and positively Identified 1t as the
missing tool.
This Is the only clue upon which the detectives
are working, and thoy confident that II they can
find the burglars WHO entered Mr.. SchCnck's house
they may be able TO arrest tue murderer.
