PArER CONFERENCE.-The mode
Of making comfortables warmer, by
lining them with newspapers, Is good
rs long as they last, which cannot be
long, especially aftor washing a few
times. l have tried a similar way Of
attaining the same object on cold
nights, when / have not had sufficient
bedding over me, especially ut hotels,
where we cannot always have Just
what we want. Throw II OIL two Of
tho top covers from the bed, then pull
from the pocket or satchel two or
three large newspapers-one very
large one will do; spread them OH the
bed, replace the cover, aud you will
have 4 warm and comfortable night,
without any perceptible increase In
the weight of the bedding. Again,
when you have a hard, cold ride In a
cutter, Of ten or twenty miles against
the wind. place a spread newspaper
over your chest before you button up
your overcoat, and you will not be-
come chilled through. Nothing can
be cheaper, and as far as 1t goes, moth
Ing more efficient.

MINING DIVIDENDS.

This Is an agreeable subject to all
stockholders, and TO noue more SO
than those on the Comstock range,
where the reverse-assessments-is too
frequent, in some cases, to be at all
agreeable. The Indications arc that
during the present year the great
Crown Point and Belcher body OF rich
ore will be productive Of better divi-
dends and moro Of them than any
other ore deposit ever before devel-
opcd In the Comstock lode. The Chol-
lar-Potosi and the Hale s. Norcross
also promise dividends. The Sierra
Nevada and the Savage may perhaps
como again into the circle Of dividend
paying mines before long, and even
some Of those mines not now produc-
ing ore are likely to encounter rich
bodies of the coveted article before
another Winter sets in-dividend-pay-
Ing bodies.
During the first year oil 1871 the
following amounts were disbursed In
the way Of dividends by mining COM
panies In this section: Tho Chollar.
Potosi discussed during January, Feb,
ruary, March, April and May, $2so,ONC
n month; June and July, $4,000 each
month; and In August, September,
October. November and December,
$2S, 600 per month. The Crown Point
paid dividends only during the months
OF June, July. August and September,
and then $780, 900 per month. The
Hale s. Norcross, January, February,
March and April, $4,000 per month
omitted during the remaining eight
months. The Sierra Nevada, one div
idend Of $40, 900 In January. The
Succor Mill and Mining Company

The last number Of the Commercial
Herald contains an exhaustive Mining
Review. prepared by Henry De Groot.
The bullion production Of tho Pacific
States and Territories for 1889 and
1870 averaged from SO, 600, 900 to $751;
600, 900. There Is reason to believe
that last year It reached $4,000, 900,
and there Is good ground for expect
ing that this year 1t will aggregate
from $50, 900, 900 to 800, OOO, 900, and
may possibly reach 800, 900, 900. The
recent developments on the Comstock
lode have impaired renewed conf
dence In the continued permanency Of
the ore veins and demonstrated the
lead to be the most important silver
bearing one yet discovered. The pro-
ductlon Of the Comstock lode In 1871
Is estimated to have reached 81, 000,-
900, and will probably exceed that
amount this year. Up to the middle
of last August, twelve Of the leading
claims on the lode had produced over
81, 900, 900, exclusive Of the June,
July and August production of the
Belcher and Crown Point mines, the
fiscal report Of these claims closing
with May. The same claims had paid
their stockholders $40, 900, 900 in divi-
dends and assessed them 1926, 900
during the same interval, The mar
ket value Of the claims at the time the
table was compiled was $l0.S5S, 900,
showing that they had returned their
owners about 20 per cent. per annum
on their investments. The London
Mining Journal gives the names Of rs
claims on this coast which are owned
and operated by English Companies.
| Seven Of these claims are In California,
eight In Nevada, four In Utah, and six
In Colorado. The nominal capital Of
these % claims Is $25, 00O,O ZOO. The
| Silver Star Of Nevada, included In the
list, with a capital OF 81, 500 600, Is evil
IDENTIFY AL error, and probably refers
to a group Of Utah mines, one Of which
bore that name, and which group was
sold to an English Company for $780,
900. Allowing for the error, the nom-
inal capital invested Is reduced to $ls,-
900, 900, one-fourth Of which has pro-
baby been paid up in cash by the
owners. Mr.. De Groot adds several
mines not included In the table re-
ferred to. which have been sold to
English Companies during the past
year, rs follows: Silver Cloud, Utah,
1850, 900; Independence, California,
500, 900; North America, drift gravel
claim California, with a capital OF
800, 600, $4,000 Of which Is for work
Ing purposes; Dunderberg, California,
$3.50, 900; Ferguson, California, $780,
900; Schenectady and other claims,
Arizona, 500, 900. In addition, 1t Is
we'll know that English parties are ne
g~otlating for several other mines, In
Guiding the North Bloomfield at about
81, 200, 900; Dardanelles, 100000 aud
Redlngtou Quicksilver for 81, 100, 900.

The Hon. Brick Pomeroy is again before the
public in an unpleasant way. 1t is not long since
General Butler made him feel very uncomfort-
ably by coming to his wifes assistance in the
little domestic difficulty which she had with the
iiustrious ''red-hot" editor, and secured for her
900. 900, or thereabouts and the custody of their
child. Now that Pomeroy is hardly out of that
difficulty a certain Miss Sadie Wilkinson sues
him in the United States Court in New York, for
an alleged breach of promise of marriage. The
plaintiffs bill sets forth that the illustrous apos-
lie of temperance solicited her hand in marriage
on the 9Oth of May, 1866 that she was then un-
married and accepted his offer, but that since
that time, in violation of his promise, he has
married another person, which Injuries plaintiff .
feelings to the extent of $3.50 The injured
woman further states as an aggravating circum-
stance that at the time Pomeroy made this pro-
mise he had a wife, the same we presume from
whom he has since been divorced, but that he
held himself out to be a single man, and capable
of contracting marriage, which the plaintiff, in
| deed, believed him to be, For these reasons,
| she states, she has been hurt in the good name
and reputation and prevented from receiving
/ tbe attentions OF other men in view of marriage,
| having remained single up to the present time.

The Rn,,le Of BraudyrIne.

Our old friend, NJ, Auge, of Norristown, Pa,
writes an interesting letter to the West Chester
Republican, about tie Battle of Brandywine, his
traditions being called out by the notes of
visitor from this city to the historic loeNlity. Mr.
Auge spent his earliest years near Chadds Ford,
and is quite familiar with the neighborhood. He
thinks there was one error in the COMMERCIAL
article. 1t spoke of Washington's headquarters
as having been in the dwelling, then of eDjamin
Ring, now occupied by Mr.. John A. Walters.
Mr.. Auge says -
''This is an error. Washington occupied a
tall, two storied, brick house, standing close by
the roadside, and not stone structure, which
has been built near by during the present con-
tury. The dwelling occupied by Ring, was one
Of those peculiarly English styled brick houses,
with steep roof and small windows, of which
there were many Of the same type remaining
along the Brandywine within my memory. The
house stood on the upper side of the road, and
nearly opposite was q saw or chopping mill.

ed during the past thirty years, and up to a re-
cent period, was owned by the late Eli Harvey.
