twenty signers of the letter of ''New York

Az. expedition, sent out by the
American Submarine Company, has
been for some time engaged In tho
sndeavor to recover the treasure sunk
In the Spanish trigate San Pedro de
Aleantara, In Cumana Bay, moro than
ifty ysars ago. Cumana, from which
tho bay takes It's name, Isl city on the
coast Of Venezuela, and Is remarkable
~ being the oldest European city In
the South American continent, having
been built In 1873. The expedition
has succeeded In clearing the hulk OF
the sunken vessel and removing the
debris above the ballast. Tho results
show that the treasure room was above
and abaft the sftsr magazine, and the
terrific force Of the explosion scattered
Ii contents broadcast over the bay.
An Idea Of the power Of the explosion
may b. gained from the fact that can
non weighing six tons were found to
have been hurled three hundred feet.
A few Spanish milled dollars and some
interesting relics and curiosities were
found. The company have decided to
ft out at once small vessels suitable
for dredging purposes, and expect to
b able to recover . largo portion Of
the millions Of coins which cover the
bottom Of the bay v . an area Of m
acre or more.

MORE SNOW

The telegraph reports the Union
Pacific Railroad again blockaded with
snow between Laramie and Cheyenne,
and by reason Of this adverse clrcum-
stance no through Eastern mails have
arrived at Virginia or Gold Hill since
Sunday. The weather out In that
snow-demorallzed region Is reported
to be extremely cold and stormy at
present, the snow drifting badly and
filling up all the railroad cuts, 50 that
trains cannot pass either east or west.
From this it may be Judged that the
chances for Eastern mail or passenger
communication are not first-rate just
now, or likely to be better for a few
days or weeks yet. It Is some consola-
ton to know, however, that Summer
Is near ut hand. when the snow will
melt of and stay melted.

The elder then e~xpostulated With him

oANpER SAUCE

Thoroughly understanding and con-
siderately a~ppreciating the animus Of
private disappolntmsntand envy which
induced an aspiring writer In the Evsn-
ing Chronicle, the newspaper just
started at Virginia City, to indulge In
certain low-fung insinuatlons and per-
sonalitics regarding ourselk. In yester-
days Issue Of that paper, we consider
a detailed reply unworthy, and BE-
meath our dignity. We will. however.
quietly and Respectively remark that
the workingmen Of Storey county are
all men Of sound practical sense and
intelligence, knowing their friends
from their foes just as well as they
know a respectable editorial gentle
man from a nomadic, Bohemian black
guard, or just as well a. tho citizens
Committee Of Safety at Virginia know
who used to abuse them and call them
"Kuklux" In the Carson Register. Be-
ing above low-hung personalities. we
will just mildly and patrouizingly
suggest to our splseny brother, the
aforesaid writer, that In q profssssdly
"independent" and politically neutral
newspaper, seeking established suo-
oass. he should be mora guarded
against the display Of his Coppsrhead
procllyities and Democratic hoofs In
future articles, as entirely out Of place,
while mercenarlly trying TO feed upon
Republican bread and butter. We will
also pleasantly remind him Of the little
old legend ofths ass who tried to dis.
guiss himself In the lions skin. Bah
Jack, draw In your ears and hoofs
your first bray has ruined you forever.

It was the heaviest earthquake ever

terrible crash. grinding the largest
trees to spllnters, and hundreds of
Others of less magnitude. Yet there

valley was SO filled with dust and
smoke from the falling and grinding
up Of rocks that 1t was difficult to
breathe. The largest trees waved to

Il continued throughout the balance OF
the night, the earth lurching and
shaking every few minutes until about
sunrise, when there wa another severe
shock, but not so hard as the first.
