CoyorEs AS SHEPHERD Doas.-A cor
respondent Of the San Francisco Bui-
le,in writes from Mountain City, Nc
vada, the following ~veracious story, as
an illustration OF the stock-raising
facilities of that locality:
There Is sheep-raiser in this vicinity
who is training coyotes and substitute
ing them for shepherd dogs, on the
hypothesis that any animal as fond OF
sheep as the coyote must necessarily
take excellent are of them. Thus tar
the experiment has not proved sue
cessful, on account OF the coyotes de-
youring their charges before their edu-
cation was completed. He has, how
ever, abiding faith In ultimate success,
and is at present writing a work OH the
DEMONSTRATION and Utilization Of the
Nevada Coyote" and l have no doubt
that when senseless prejudice Is sup
planted by enlightened investigation
he will be hailed as q benefactor OF
mankind. se@Et&

Grim. Con. In Coiu.a.

The subjoined is copied from the
Marysville appeal Of the 10th instant
By the arrival of the stage to-day
from Colusa we gained some partlcu-
lars of case of Grim. con. In that town.
and which has been the only subject
Of conversation there since its occur
renee, on Monday last. Full particu-
lars we were unable to learn, but give
such as came to our knowledge. 1t
seems that J.. II. Roberts, q prominent
grocery merchant, had cause to suspect
that an intimacy existed between his
wife and one J. b. Foster, an insurance
agent, and began to watch the actions
Of both. For q time his suspicious
seemed g%roundless; but on Monday
afternoon, returning to his room at the
Eureka Hotel Mt rather All unusual
hour, his attention was attracted by q
voice on the inside, and bursting open
the door. his worst suspicious were
realized-ths parties were caught In
hanaatc deiictu. Foster made his es-
cape through al open window, and tho
wife through a side door-Mr. Roberts
being so paralyzed by what he had
seen as to be incapable Of following
either. Nothing definite of the further
movements of the guilty couple Is at
present known. They were seen, a
short time after their hurried exit from
the hotel, driving out Of town at a
pretty lively pace. They were next
heard of at Jacinto, in Colusa county,
where Foster borrowed some money
Of a Mr.. Giles, rs it would appear,
under false pretenses. He being in-
formed of the facts In the case, swore
out n warrant for his arrest upon this
ground, and kilograms were sent all
over the country to that effect. An
answer was received on Tuesday from
Red Bluff, stating that the couple had
left that afternoon for Shasta. Nothing
further had been heard Of them ut the
time our informant left Colusa, but 1t
is reasonable to suppose that ere this
Foster has been arrested. sa &S'

the 6Ostasisi encountered In mining foresnow
an carly abandonment OF IL. The difficulties In
mining are, principally, an expense OF
pumping water and hoisting ore, for which my.
three steam engines are employed and kept IN
motion with frewood, at an expense OF several
millions OF dollars per annum. One OF the great
Obstacles In mining Is the great increase OF
heat below 5 susfAce, the Thermometer at
400 feet below standing at 10 degrees, making
Il almost impossible for men to work, and I'M
pairing their health.

Their display of ignorance, ~imbecility,
or-wlafnl Misrepresentation on the
part Of This man. He knows no more
about the mines Of the Comstock lode
than he does about Heaven or the in
Nfnal resiona. Several of our princi-
PIT mining shafts-the Savage, Hale &
Norcross, or the Imperial Empire, for
instanee-are two hundred feet deeper
than he speaks of, and rs to those enor-
nous expenses in the way of pumping
water, hosting ore, ETC., no objection
Is made by either the mine II or
the many hundreds Of men employed,
those expenses being disbursed directly
to the support Of the community at
large. Those expenses are nothing
compared to the royalty" Of 81 per
ton called forby Sutro from every ton
Of ore extracted, whether at the sur
face, a in the Sierra Nevada or the
Chollar-Potosi, or at the lowest depths
attained. As to this benighted Sena-
tors humbugging remarks about the
great heat, bad air, ETC., at the lowest
depths, so seriously affecting the health
Of the workmeu, all our good square
practical miners beg leave to differ
with him. IF he will only go with us
at the present time to where we have
been, to the lowest depths Of the Say
age, the Hale & Norcross, or the I'm
perial- Empire, he will find not only
plenty Of good, pure air, but cold enough
to form ice. Wherever, as in those
cases, proper attention has been given
to systematic air connections, by means
Of drifts, WINES, or alright partitions
in the1shafts inducing free drafts or
currents Of air, the atmosphere is kept
as pure and good as at the surface.
The Sutro tunnel would answer the
same purpose, but it can never be Of
any practical use, as by the time 1t Is
possible to complete it through to the
Comstock lode, our mining shafts will
have penetrated hundreds of feet be-
low its point of intersection. AS we
have before demonstrated, it would be
Of no use as a drain tunnel either, for
the bottom Of the Savage mine, four
hundred feet above that identical point
of intersection, Is perfectly dry, being
below the water belt. Before Congress
allows Sutro to tunnel 4 thieving hole
into the Treasury Of the nation, let
it send n competent committee to i'll

Mcmcnts Letter..

The Mercantile Library Association
Is not unmindful of the means by
which It escaped from financial din
c%ulties. As Alexander the Great en-
ployed q slave to whisper in his ear
an occasional reminder that he, the
conqueror, was not immortal, so the
magnatss Of the Mercantile have
mounted the large glass globes which
were used In the lottery drawing on
fancy lamp-posts in front Of their
building. to Jog their memories with
the fact that though nowi In funds their
coin Will not last forever. And from
all that I can har, the warning Is very
necessary, as the managers who are
lust going out, Of office have been
spending money at q reckless rate for
the last few weeks. If the incoming
officials do mot at once reduce the
monthly salary list, there will be an
other deficit In the treasury before two
wears.

TIE INSURANCE CONVENTION. In answer
to the invitation of Mr.. G. w. Miller, Super
intendent of the New York Insurance Depart
ment, the representatives of eighteen of the
States assembled in this city yesterday. Mr..
Miller, in very clear and forcible way,
explained his object in calling the convention,
and also expressed the view that while there
should be proper supervision over the affairs
of the life insurance companies throughout the
country, so that the public may enjoy all the
protection which the law can reasonably
afford, yet the companies themselves should be
subjected to as little interference as possible
This movement on the part OF Mr.. Miller is
commendable, as It shows an earpest intention
to do his duty by the public, and at the same
time a wise wish to gather from every availa-
BILE source such experience and information as
may be turned to the advantage of this vast
interest. The Convention will be several DAYS
In session, and we look with much interest to
the result OF Its deliberations.

WALL STREET AND THE MONEY MARKET. =
The usual accumulation Of money at this
centre in the summer season is already SO
great and so far ahead of time as to occasion
general remark. Wall street has system of
money lending known as ''call loans," which
terminate on one days notice from the lender.
Money for temporary use in this way is SO
abundant as to be worth at the rate of only
two to three per cent per annum. Mercantile
paper is readily discounted at five to six per
cent Yet, with all this, speculation moves
only slowly, as if sort of healthy conservative
tone pervaded the community. But just as
fuel feeds fire, easy money stimulates specula-
ton; so that the cliques may after all get up
quite sensation this summer
