ILLUSIoNARY.

The San Francisco correspondent Of
the Virginia Chronicle In his last letter
remarks rs follows: "When q strike
Is reported In any Of the Comstock
mines under Sharon's control, the
miners are shut up until William can
determine It's extent and buy up or un-
load his stock" He also conveys the
idea that in no other mines ia this
practice ever adopted. He Is not
posted. That practice was adopted
long before Sharon ever saw the Com
stock, aud tho Jones' Hayward ring
certainly took to the practice very
kindly, aud still know how to do
It, as In the case Of the Savage mine
last Sunday, when they shut the miners
down OIL tho strength OF a small and
rather deceptive strike Of ore. They
will do so whenever they see tit, all
ideas Of amateur correspondents to the
contrary notwithstanding. In the last
mentioned Instance. however, perhaps
they were right IN so doing, for had
they let the miners out, the effect
might have been to break sll the stock
buyers in Virginia and Gold Hill, for
the ore found really vas very decep-
tive in character. appearing very rich,
until assays proved it to be quite the
opposite. That's why the stock
jumped up 10 iercely aud jumped
down the same way.

During the past week Phoebe stocks
have taken quite n jump In the San
Francisco Stock Board, and all of
them, at present writing, show an In
creased advance In price from the fig
ures quoted IN the beginning Of tho
week. This rise ia undoubtedly due
to the Raymond & Ely and Phoebe
mines having declared Il dividend, and
also to the rich strike made In the lat
ter mine. The strike mentioned Is an
important one for our camp, as 1t has
hsd the effect of inspiring confidence
In u mines In general, and Will
doubtless induce tardy capitalists In
San Francisco to hasten In making In
vestments and advancing working cap
ltal for the development Of mines In
this district.
Since July l the Phoebe Company
have shipped bullion valued at $lS,-
l76 %. and In view OF the fact that
there are only 20. 900 shares In the cor
poration, stockholders can see at q
glance that the prospects for Increased
dividends are flattering In the extreme.
The Summit shaft of tho Meadow
Valley Company will soon be started
up, as but little remains to be done
but finishing the cages and placing
them in position. From the favorable
position. From the favorable position
Of the shaft, the developments which

The following communication shows
the views OF an impartial observer, on
journalistic ability and editorial pro-
priety, as we'll al touching a little
upon Sharon matters:
VIRoISrA CITY, July 18th, 1872.
EDITOR NEWS: It would appear
that a quiet, courteous gentleman like
Mr.. Sharon cannot return to his home,
after a short absence, without having
the editor OF the Enterprise intlct upon
its readers its SOPHOMORE illusions.
When | think of the close friendship
that once existed between the two gen
tlemen. aud the persistent malice with
which the editor OF that paper now
pursues him. I can judge somewhat of
the extent Of the love which lie once
had for Mr.. Sharon. There Is no ell
nifty 80 bitter as that of those who
were formerly friends. | eau imagine
his anger when he saw the article In
the Gold Hill News announcing
Sharon's arrival. aud nethiDss l hear
hun say, "Verily my heart Is smitten
and withered like grass, so that | can
not eat my bread | am like Il pelican
Of the wilderness; | am like an owl Of
the desert. So I will HE me hence to
the Enterprise office, and I will write
such n scorcher OH Mr.. Sharon that he
will be perfectly annihilated and no
longer be able to hold up his head
among hls fellow citizens Of Virginia
City"
When I this morning read the article
on Mr.. ). I was nearly speeches. with
admiration and awe. I was not aware
that we had such II brilliant editor In
our midst. Nevads Is not large
enough for such a man. He should
seek a wider field for the display Of his
emiuent abilities. 1t Is thought to DO
very essential that a poet should have
good taste. Now, with all Difference
to the editor of the Enterprise. submit
that it Is In very bad taste to call those
who may happen to differ with him In
their estimate of men "lickspittles.'

THE RICHEST GOLD MINE.

The Oregon Mountain Sentinel gives
III account Of "A gold mine near Au
burn. Baker county, and claims that 1t
Is the richest In gold yer discovered
OH the coast. In briet the ordinary
quartz from the lode yields $500 to Tie
ton, but 1t Is the pockets In the same
where the riches come in. III one
pocket the dlscoyerer, White. secured
$1,000 Of tho precious stuff In four
days, and others have bscn found
much richer. Stacy, a reliable gentle
mai Of Auburn, who visited the mines,
states that he saw nuggets Of two
Inches in diameter. White has four
men employed In guarding his mine Of
treasure, aud no person but those well
and favorably known can even visit 1t.
In consequence Of this extraordinary
discovery, property in the town of Au-
burn has taken n sudden rise, and lots
aud houses, which a week ago could
have been purchased with = song, have
quadrupled In price. Captain Aims
worth Is said to be the principal owner
Of this wonderfully rich mine.

CURIOUS THEORY.

a correspondent In the San Fran
cisco B,aletin writing from Tahoe City,
July 9th, assigns the following reasons
for the bodies Of persons drowned In
Lake Tahoe never having been recov-
cred:
Some twelve or fourteen persons
have been drowned In this lako within
the past ten years ; none OF the bodies
hsve ever been recovered. Supersti-
ton, ever ready weave q sensation
from natures laws, asserted that there
WAS a doubtful mystery In the non
recovery Of tho drowned /; that, In fact,
o monster had its abode In this fresh
water sen, and that the bodies all
passed Into his capacious NAV. The
true explanation of this mystery mover
has been given. The non-aPpearance
OF tho bodies Is due to three causes
The first Is, the great purity OF the
water aud Its consequent lack Of buoy
ancy. Drowning Is very easy In It,
for this reason, though have not
while swimming In 1t found any more
than ordinary difficulty In sustaining
myself. The second aud main cause
|. due to the great GOODNESS of the
water. Even ut this. the warmest sea-
son, the surface water Is rs cold as the
drinker desires 1t TO be, but 1t IL warm
there compared with its temperature
a. the depth Of n hundred to two
hundred feet. It IL as cold there as the
arctic heart Of an iceberg. When a
body sinks In the lake to the depth re-
auired, 1t is frozen stiff. That pro-
cess, Of course, preserves 1t, so that the
gas which originates In the body from
decay In other water Is prevented, and
distenslon checked. The body Is thus
kept In a state Of greater specific
gravity than the water In which 1t Is
suspended. and thereby prevented from
rising to the surface. The third cause
lies In the great pressure Of the pure
water on anything which Is sunk to n
great depth In 1t. CorkS placed on
nets are pressed down In a
week to half their size ; and II of the
oldest residents Of tho lake expresses
the belief that, By the time \ mans
body has been suspended for q week at
a depth OF about 200 feet III Is not
that 1t ever reaches the cavern-
Gus and almost fathoinless bottom Of
the great lnkel, the compression Of the
water has reduced its size to that Of a
child's. Doubtless the Idea Of uncof-
fined suspension In such q "world OF
water Is not a pleasant one to COIL
but to he pressed Into 4
solid mass and suspended In a liquid
coffin Of Ice temperature, Is quite as
pleasant rs interment and Wondering
I'm the ground.

[From the Inyo Indepc- cnt, July l3th.l
Col. Putney favors Ia, with the fol-
lowing particulars of an occurrence at
Benton on the Fourth A desperate
named Ed. White, recently Of Cerro
Gordo, appeared there that morning
with a young horse which he desired
to enter for the races Of the day. A
Mr.. Mallory, Of Bishop Creek, recog-
nized the horse as ono that had been
stolen from him and laid claim to him.
White denied the claim In q very m
sulting manner, but, we believe, gave
the horse up. nothing moro being aid
about It until about @ o'clock In The
evening when he approached Mallory
standing In a store and commenced to
abuse him. But a few words had
passed when White jerked out his re-
volver aud aimed a shot at Mallory,
they being but about five feet apart at
tho time, but a bystander knocked the
pistol up and the ball went through
the ceiling. He fired again but with
no better success, Mr.. Mallory having
retreated inside IN open doorway

thousand an hour. The cost Of the
press Is $3.50 0 and 1t will require
$500 more to set 1t up In San Fran

When Mcclellan. the famous ditcher
Of the Chickahomlny, was nominated
for President, the entire Democratic
party was as jubllant over It as they
w.. could be-far more so than they
are now over Greeley's nomination.
Their enthusiasm was beyond all
bounds, and plenty Of the most san-
guine freely offered to bet thousands
of dollars that Abraham Lincoln would
not carry four States, outside Of New
England. When Seymour and Blair
were nominated. In 1868, \ still wilder
enthusiasm pcrvaded the Democratic
soul, and none Of them could realize
any sort Of possibility that Grant
would get even a respectable vote.
How dl,astrously did they fall In their
calculations In each instance, and with
what grand. triumphant majorities
were they beaten? And thus is Is with
them now. They g~leefully chatter and
auack over the nomination Of Chappa-
auack Horace and Big Rats Brown,
wear hugo white Greeley hats to cover
their enthused brains, and are happy
in the Jolly anticipation Of Victory
at any price. They have got Horace
now, but will have the horrors next
Fall, when they awaken from their
sweet dclusion to sec how badly they
have been beaten. They will be worse
deceived than when they so festively
carried Mcclellan brooms in jubilsnt
torch-light professions, or when they
20 gayly sang their rallying songs un-
der the banner Of Seymour and Blair.
They forget those delusions, and they
do not realize now that Horace Of
Chappaqus has no more chance OF WIN
ming than the nan In the moon, but
they will next November.
