A GREAT SALT MrxE.-The SIN Jose
Patrios thus describes the Humboldt salt
mine, shout eighty miles northwest Of Aus
tin, and not far from the railroad:
The surface OF the salt plain looks exactly
Hike that Of lake frozen over. The Salts
hard and also q smooth as ice. Were itnot
for the line particles which are condensed
from vapors arising from beneath, aad
which cover the chrystaline salt to tho
depth Of perhaps one.eighth Of On inch, Il
would make IN excellent skating rink at Ill
times Of the year. except the very unfrc-
quent occasions when covered with water.
This magnificent expanse Of chrystaiized
salt.is no less than twenty miles in length,
and twelve In width, without break or
Jaw, or one particle of soil for the greater
portion of that extent. The stratum Of sol-
i'd salt, We had::almost said ice, whcih II con.
linuslly suggests to our mind, is about six
or seven inches thick, under which comes 4
layer Of sticky, singular looking mul, about
two feet thick, and under this again another
stratum Of solid salt as hard as quartz and
transparent - glass, of'unknown thickness
to U.s. When We visited the mine about
four years ago. We found hole which hal
been sunk about six feet into its lower 10y.
er of salt, near the edge Of the deposit, with.
out going through 1t. In summer, this salt
plain, glittering and scintillating in the
light of an almost tropical sun presents =
brilliant appearance. The frosty covering
and solid salt is as white a. tho driven snow,
while that portion when exposed reflects
dazsling prismatic colors~ OF course there Is
salt enough in this immense deposit to sup.
ply the world foruntold ages. It isremsrk-
ably pure, being ninety-five per cent. salt,
and five per cent. soda, purer than ", Us,
for ocr tables. ~ .# s@a'" d"

CoxGREssMAN KELLY Of Pennsylvania
made an elaborate speech in the House
of Representatives on the ll;h inst. in
which he made it appear pretty clear that
Mr.. Commissioner Wells in making up
his schedule Of duties on steel had been
unduly i, fuenc-ed by English nanufac
rurers; showing. in proof Of his charges
that the wording and figures ofthe Sh-f-
field schedule were almost word tor word
identical with the schedule which Wells
has submitted to Congress. English
man ufacturers constantly retain the best
legal talent Of Great Britain and the
continent and il is inferred that when
Mr.. Wells was in Europe awhile ago be
was led to adopt the views of those alb ie
advocates Of a reduction in our duties
on forrign manufacture.

How THE RuMoR OF MILLS MURDER
WAS SrAkrED.-They have an original way
Of propaeating distressing rumors in White
Pine County. Says the Inland Empire Of
the 18th instant:
We heard an explanation yesterday of how
the rumor Of the homicide at Eureka got
started. Marshal O'Keefe and Dimock were
lately concerned in a little practical joke,
whereby certain parties were made to e feast
upon the vapors Of dungeon" for several
hours. To get even, the parties who we're
thrown into durance vile concluded to give
the Marshal and Dimuck a little trip in the
storm. Hence the rumored killing of Mills.
1t may all be very fine, but we cannot see the
point; not to any overwhelming extent.

the monotonous dulness OF the stock Exchange
