COAL IN NEVADA.

Yesterday we published an article
from the Elko Independent on the
coal discoveries in that county. John
Q. Moore, of this city, claims to have
been the first discoverer of a i'll
Elko county and in the State of Ne
vada. and to back his claim has a box
of coal on deposit with the Secretary
of State marked april Il, 1869" The
vein from which the coal was taken
was located early in 1869 by John @.
Moore, Ex-Governor J. Medley John
son of this city, and others, and is
situate about three-fourthS of Il mile
from the railroad track. on the south
east side of the Humboldt river, four
or five miles above Carlin. in EIko
county. The specimens now i'll this
city are from the groupings, from the
bottom Ola shaft 40feet deep, and from
Il tunnel IS feet i'll length. That from
the groupings of curse is not coal, but
>llale or stone; but, from having been
deposited upon the vegetable matter
chemically changed to coal. has re
ceived and now bears perfectly legible
imprint> OF that vegetation. y spcci-
men from the bottom of the shaft.
however, is coal, both the end and
board of which, on breakagc. show
the fibre and tissue of wood so char
acteristic of recently formed Goals. 1t
is also covered over with specks of
BLACK diamond"
1t is not at all improbable that vast
beds of coal will be found inthis State,
and particularly along the Humboldt
river, and perhaps on the Muddy and
other streams south. the currents Of
which. by denudation, have cut the
Permian measures under which coal
is found. Coal i found in the carbon
ferrous system of rocks. the average
thickness of which * 5000 feet. Above
systems of rocks of no less than an
average thickness OF 1850 feet. This
is what geology teaches Us: but, by
some law, or combination of laws of
Nature. we have in certain localities
seams of coal brought right to the
surface. and occasionally standing out
from the surrounding rocks. What
we want in EIho county j. deep pros
pecting, for ii is seldom that n good
quality of coal is found near the SUR
face. At the Rosebridge colliery in
England. coal is o wrought 1t 4
depth Of 2.4lS feet, and English mining
engineers express the belief that Il
depth of 3,500 feet can he reached with
out serious drawbacks from pressure or
heat. The Central Pacific Railroad
Company has taken the Elko coal
mines in hand, and will doubtless
soon devclope their wealth, 10 the
great benefit Of the company and the
State.

The. tsrazing Lands Of the Continent.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
& Gazette has been travelling in Texas,
and Describes the vast herds of tie
Cattle Kings OF that State. Few are
aware Of the immense trade in beeves
that has been developed by the COM
pletion of the great roads, and even
now the competition for the Texas
beef trade IL stimulating rival compa-
MES to amazing activity in grading
and laying rails. ,.fa .r.soH.-
l., "At Abilene, the great Kansas cat
tie market, over 200, 000. head changed
hands. The shipments. in Septem-
Der reached 10000 head. and in Oc-
tober nearly $4,000 head. This inn
mense trade may be estimated W hen
it is stated that it took III cars per
day to transfer this stock, and one
bank in Kansas City handled So, 000,-
900 cattle money. In Nebraska, the
cattle trade with the South IL just
beginning; yet $1,000 head changed
hands at Schuyler, and the First Ma
ta tional Bapk of Omaha handled $780,.
600 in consequence of this trade. 1t
is likely the trade In Schuyler in
1871 will reach 100, 900 head of cattle,
and it will require 81 ,5O0,G0 to carry
1t on. 40. q.
Large as the trade may seem, it IL
rs yet in its infancy, not only in
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and
on the Platte, but throughout the
United States. The rapid increase of
our population, both from foreign
and domestic sources, demands a cor
responding increase of food; and at
present, there is no product of cattle
that is anything like equal to the de-
mand. Beef can be raised on the
Plain. and delivered at 9 cents per
pound, and until that is done there
need be no apprehension of crowding
tile cattle market That beef can
ever be had in our day SO cheap as 9
cents does not seem probable, and
yet ut Az cents per pound, large fort.
unes can be made i'm cattle breeding.
1t is only OF the limitless Plains,
where land is of little or no value,
that stock can be raised To great adj
vantage. But even the Plains,
boundless as they may seem, are fast
disappearing before the advancing
waves of population. Texas, the
great cattle hive of the country, has
during the past year, received $780,
settlers, and already cattle raisers
there feel that they must soon look
elsewhere for untrammeled ranges.
1.-THE great Platte Valley has over
5000, 600 acres of rich pastures; but
how long will they remain grazing
grounds? The Union Pacific has al
ready divided these lands from their
eastern to the western extremity and
towns and villages are springing up
everywhere, and farms are being
opened on all sides of them.
ut Is no exaggeration to say that
the population of the United States,
before the close of the present GEN.
fury, will probably reach 100, zoo, 900
of people. Then there will be no
West to settle up, no great stock
ranges, but farms and cities, and
cities and farms everywhere"

THERE Is very simple method to
clean most any kind of paint that
has become dirty, and our housewives
should adopt 1t, as 1t would save
them a great deal of trouble. Pro-
vide plate. with some of the best
whiting to be had, and have ready
some clean warm water and a piece
of flannel, which, dip into the water
and squeeze nearly dry. Then take
as much whiting as will adhere to it,
and apply 1T TO the painted surface,
when little rubbing will instantly
remove all dirt or grease. After
which, wash the part well with clean
water, and rub it dry with soft
Chamois. Paint thus cleaned locks
as well as when first laid on, without
any injury to the most delicate colors.
1t is far better than using soap, and
does not require more than half the
time and labor.-Codchnaakers' Jour.
nal.

A WRITER in Appleton's journal
corrects the proverbs, superstitious
and curious facts about eats. This
extract may save some mothers
worry "A common superstition
charges cats with sucking the breath
of infants, thereby causing their
death by strangulation. This is a
false accusation, as pussy's mouth is
SO formed anatomically that she
would not be able to do so sanguinary
a deed did she wish it. Instances are
on record where cats have crawled
into a cradle or bed, and laid down
on an infants face, not probably
with any criminal intent-though
children have been found dead under
such circumstances-but purely fol
the sake of the warmth of the infants
body and clothing. 1''.'

To KEEP MILK SwEET.-A tea
spoonful of fine salt or of horse rad
ish, in a pan of milk, will keep ii
sweet for several days. Milk can be
kept year or more as sweet as when
taken from the cow, by the following
method. Procure bottles. which
must be perfectly clean, sweet and
dry; draw the milk from the cow
into the bottles, and as they are filled
Immediately cork them well, and
fasten the cork with pack-thread or
wire. Then spread little straw in
the bottom of boiler, on which
place the bottles, with straw between
them, until the boiler contains q suf-
ficent quantity. Fill it up with cold
water, heat the water. and as soon as
IT begins to boil, draw the Gre and let
the whole gradually cool. When
quite cold, take out the bottles and
pack them in sawdust In hampers
and stow them away in the coolest
part of the house.-Ea.

Pasturing Hogs In Summer.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, writing from Hamilton
county, Ohio, says, the system of all
good hog raisers in that region is to
pasture hogs on clover during the
Summer. He presents, as the ad-
vantage of this plan, the statement
that an acre of ground i'm clover will
pasture five hogs four months, and
that IL will take the coan from hal
all acre to feed them at the sam,
time. The cultivation of the othe
half he counts equal to the rent o
the other half acre. He further
claims that hogs pastured on clover
are in far better condition that If fec
on corn, as they are larger framed
healthier and eat better; and alst
states that the land is enriched by
the clover pasturing.
