of English swells, armed with a per-
nit from Hon. J. P. Jones, paid a
visit to the Crown Point mine. The
men employed in the Crown Point
mine, rs we'll as the other mines on
the Comstock lode, are the most cour-
teous people in the world. In fact,
Judging from their treatment OF lady
visitors In the mine, one would almost
suppose that they belonged to the age
OF chivalry. 1t will not answer, how
ever. for tourists to put on any airs
while making a trip through the mines.
1t so happened, while the English gem
try were making their explorations.
that there was a considerable amount
of water on some OF the lower levels Of

This i a capital idea rs In the event OF

compelled to 90 along distance up the
street to accomplish the same object.
DooMATIcAL.-Yesterday we noticed
e large Newfoundland dog reared up
on his hind feet alongside Of hismaster
and studying the figures on the stock

seeing the amount of bullion coming
out OF Frank McCulleugh's assay office,
four hours being required TO haul away
the product Of \ single days work.
