STOCK. AM

Day before yesterday, fer the first
time, Belcher stock rose to higher
price than Crown Point, no~twithstand-
ing the fact that the recent boundary
dispute between the two companies
took $275, 900 from the Belcher treasury
and put 1t into that Of the Crown
Point. The relative merits OF the two
mines do not seem to DO so much con.
sidered In the relative price OF the
stock, as the fact that the Belcher has
been steadily Increasing In public IA
vor Of late. The great ore body holds
out beyond all anticipation, and no
doubt will for years to come. It was
only BY indomitable perseverance,
backed up by the capital furnished 6y
the California Bank, eyen when the
outlook was the gloomiest, that this
wonderfully rich aud extensive BODY
Of ore was found. Since then, the
same logged perseverance. aided oy
the impetus already given, has devel-
oped aud Is still developing other im-
portant ore bodies. Stock speculation
aids most essentially in the develop
ment of the mlnes-more now than
ever before. The San Francisco Alta
gives the following sensible statistical
remarks upon this subject:
The stock market furnishes the ma
chinery by which the great quartz
mining industry Is carried on. There
Il no doubt but that sharpers take ad-
vantage Of this state Of affairs and put
upon the market many schemes that
are "only holes In the ground and
the public, especially those with small
capital. are induced to risk their money
on the chance Of getting out before the
schemers. But, after all, 1t has only
been through the faith Of the public In
the ultimate value. Of the mines on
which they pay assessments, that such
immense ore bodies a that OF Gold
Hill and the Consolidated Virginia
have been given to the world. Thus
Belcher through long years struggled
to make explorations which cost st0ck-
holders $660,400 assessments. The
Crown Point, In the same way, levied
twenty-one assessments, which cost
$523,370. During the operation these
two stocks were hardly worth the as.
sessments In the open market. Final
" they struck ore, from which. In lit.
tie more than two years, $35,OOO,0 600
have been obtained. The several IT.
tie mines which compose the Consol-
idated Virginia were long worked In
vain. The Consolidated has been as
sessed fifteen times, and collected
Sill, 200. It has now struck ore that
will yield millions, and which has al
ready, in the last two months, more
than reimbursed all the assessments.
The whole ledge, from the extreme
north to the lower Comstock, gives
signs of similar results, aud the prob
lem Is working out through the ma
chinery Of the stock market, which In
duces the subscriptions Of the necessa-
ry capital, by holding out chances OF
prompt profits not dependent upon
the ultimate results In each mine. 1t
Is true that the public do not discrim-
mate sufficiently between these localt-
ties which offer the most reasonable
grounds for success aud those which
have not, like tho Comstock, demon
strated its permanent value. But 1t is
by these means that the money derlv-
ed from the mines is applied to their
further and progressive developments.

An American Exhibitor.

For long time, says Vienna CORE
spondent, the only American exhibitor
ready, was Woodruff, of Auburn, N. y,
who had his harvesting machines in
position in two days after his arrival.
Finding n quarrel in Vienna, and no
one willing to take the responsibility of
assigning space, Mr.. Woodruffsaid that
he had come there to exhibit his
machines and to take as many prizes as
possible, and concluded that he would
not wait for the slow action of the Com
mission. Going into Agricultural Hall j.,
then not half completed, he selected the
best place in the room and at once put
up an elegant platform, carpeted and
furnished it, and had his machines in
before any one knew what he was about.
The consequence has been that all visi-
tors to Agricultural Hall have been
obliged to feast their eyes solely upon
the machines, and there is always a
crowd about the stand. The fine finish
of these articles causes establishment.
The gayety, the invirable good-humor,
the energy, and the picturesque Auburn
dialect OF the American young gentle
man has already made them known to
everybody, and l am not sure they have
not "sworn eternal friendship" to every
exhibitor in the building. One day I
was passing through the rotunda with
them when Mr.. Dennis suddenly cried
" There is the first Englishnan l have
yet seen with his coat off-th ought
to be encouraged. The son Oh large
and wealthy steel manufacturer. aided
by an MISUNDERSTANDING relative. was
trying to get seven and a-half foot
circular-saw in position. The strong
arms Of our young American were soon
placed at his disposal, and he did not
quit work until the huge saw was swing
ing upon its pivot. As the young man
was for long time the only represen-
tative OF American enterprise, he made
friends with everybody, and, ma fol, if
every friend would take machine, he
would work off hundred or two a dav
with ease. Being first on the ground,
too, he was entitled to the first mention.

Compulsory Vaccination.

The benighted Asiatics, says an ex-
change, find, to their surprise, that
Russia has very summary method of
practically enforcing the behests of
European civilization. Great Britain's
temporizing method of dealing with
the Orientals finds no favor in Russian
eyes. Recently smallpox made its mp
pearance in one of the Asiatic posses
sions of the Gar. His officers at the
post requested the people to come and
be vaccinated. Compliance with this
invitation being summarily refused, a
few medical officers, well supplied with
!ancets and vaccine virus, were detailed
for active service. These surgeons were
accompanied bya regiment of Cossacks.
The dashing lancers ran down every
man, woman, and child in the I'M cted
district, and held them each and all
until the physicians pronounced them
thoroughly vaccinated. This is adj
vancing humanity at the points of the
lance and lancet.

The Art OF Scalping.

The troops in the Modoc region are
adopting the savage mode of warfare to
some extent. They even scalp their
victims on the field, as the account OF
the late fighting informs us. Since
scalps are to be among the trophies of
modern warfare it is well to know how
they are taken, cured and preserved.
General Custer introduces the subject.
He says:
"These scalps, according to the bar
tarous custom, were not composed of
The entire covering of the head, but of
small surface surrounding the crown,
and usually from three to four inches in
diameter, constituting what is termed
the scalp lock. To preserve the scalp
from decay, a small hoop of about dou-
BILE the diameter of the scalp is pre-
pared from small withe, which grows
on the banks of some of the streams of
the West. The scalp is placed inside
the hoop and properly stretched by a
net hoop.
after being properly cured, the
dried fleshyportion of the scalp is orna-
mented in bright colors, according to
the taste Of the captor, sometimes the
addition of beads of bright and varied
colors being made to heighten the ef-
feet. In other Instances the hair is
dyed, either to beautiful yellow or
golden or to crimson"
