Booming.

"BooMrNG Is the name of an opera
ton with which probably our readers are
not generally familiar. Hence, we ex-
tract. from the columns IF the Mining
Revisso, an explanation of the process rs
practiced by the miners of Colorado.
Booms are built and run for two purposes:
the discovery of veins hidden under the
deep slopes of the mountain sides and
the working of gold placers on large
scale.
The reservoir Is first constructed at the
mead of the ground to be worked; into
this water is conducted, from the most
convenient source still higher up, by
fumes or bitches. These reservoirs vary
IN size from small pond to an acre or
two lake, and the bitches are often eight,
ten, and twelve miles long. when the
basin Is full, and a continuous head OF
water is in running operation, gates are
opened, letting loose the whole volume Of
the LIQUID, which tears down the noun
tain side in huge volume, sweeping
leverything before 1t, carrying tons OF
Iboulders, gravel, and dirt, down to the
gulch below. II auriferous ground Ia to
be worked, q long and massive wooden
| fiun1e Is built at the foot of the hill, Into
| which the debris Is carried, with all the
force of the falling waters and the sand
and rocks washed along In its course while
the gold is deposited by its own gravity,
behind the riffies in the bottom OF the
race. These fumes are often thousands
] of feet long, and as rocks Of all sizes and
weights are carried along In them, they
must be built with great strength and So
\ liditv. TO withstand the immense wear.
4 II It is the object, however, merely TO
uncover the veins Of which no trace can
be found by scientific prospecting, no
fiume IA built in the gulc6, but the water
lallowed to take Its own course. On ite
way down the mountain side, It cuts out
1a huge trough from twenty to nifty feet
i vide; and II the operation is prosecuted
With yigor and plenty Of cash, the bed,
rock Is reached and swept clean nom Tor
Ito bottom. and . hugedelta Of mud, rocki
and clay LEFT in the valley below. Thu
water 10 then shut Of, and the owners o!
the boom examine the clean rock AND

A FASTING Fowl Turkey Forty T5ro
Days acithoW Food or Wuter.-One of the
most remarkable cases of sticking to life
without. food or water, says the Reading
Eagle, came to light this morning at the
works of McHose & Co., of this city, by
which a turkey was unlxnOwingly held pris-
oner for 42 days, not having tasted food or
water during the entire time. The circum-
stances of this most remarkable incident
are as follows
On the 23d of December last, NcUose &
Co. bought some fifty odd turkeys for
Christmas presents to their hands, (Which
presents they have made regularly for the
last five or six years-) These turkeys were
all put into stable, and in the evening
were presented to their men. One. how
ever, was missing and it was supposed that
the party supplying them had made a mis-
take i'll the count, and no search was made.
This morning one of the hands. Howard
Fisher, went into the stable in search of
something, when he heard noise in a sheet
iron pipe, about s feet high and is inches in
diameter, standing upright. He looked in.
saw something moving, when he turned
over the pipe and found the missing tur-
key, still alive, but too weak to resist can
ture, having been without food or water
for forty-two days. Water and food was
at once offered, but it refused to eat. It's
mouth was then opened, and water, bread
and butter forced down, andit is now pick
ing corn again. It's weight before CON
hnement was about ID pounds, and now If
weighs but 5t pounds.

FAILING ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
FIVE FEET Down THE SHAFT OF A MINE
AND STILL ALIVE AND WELL-Christmas
eve at the Julian Mines furnished one of
the most remarkable incidents in all the
annals OF curious casualties. Charley Fox
is one OF the owners of the San Diepo
Ledge. Their shaft is sunk to the deptb
OF one hundred and seventy-iye feet. ON
the afternoon of the Gath of December he
took his place in the bucket to 90 down To
the lower level. 1t had been raining freely
during the day. The break on the whim
which raises and lowers the bucket in
MINES not supplied with steam power
was held in its place by rope This had
become very wet, and, of course. relaxed
It's tension. Fox had hardly taken his
place IN the bucket before he went career
ing ike lightning down the sheer drop of
40 teet. The break was absolutely nse-
less, and down, down hurtled bucket and
ms$l, dumping now against one side and
now against the other, until finally both
struck The two-inch planking which covered
the well. The bucket was smashed To
pieces, and poor Charley plunged throuob
the two-inch Planking, as though it had
been pasteboard. into the well. This was
SIX or eight feet deep. He sank to the hot
tom, and when he rose was hauled ont bv
nis comrades who were working in the
ieVel. The mystery of the business is that.

a INDUSTRIOUS VILLAIN.-A Boston des-
patch reports that Franklin B. Evans, who
is now under sentence of death for the
murder of Georgiana Lowering, has con
fesscd a frightfrll series of crimes. He
says that in 1858 he stole away and killed
a little niece i'll Derry, n. H., aged five
in 1861, he cut the throat of girl of four
teen years in Augusta, Me-, (for which an
other man died in prison. In 1866 he kill
ed Isabella Joyce. aged fourteen, and her
brother, John, a boy of twelve, III Bussey' S
woods, near Boston. In 1872 June 10 he
is charged with a similar crime upon wo-
man found dead in the woods near Fitch
burg, Mass, and during the same year he
murdered Georgiana Lowering, girl of
twelve, in Northwood, n. II.
His confession in regard to all these
crimes is brief and indefinite except as 20
the Joyce children, which was made to
Deputy-Sheriff Henry a. Drew, who ar
rested him and had him in charge ten days
before he committed him to Exeter jail,
and seven days before Evans revealed the
secret of the murder of Georgiana Lover
ing. Mr.. Drew says that the narrative i'll
relation to the Joyce children is so circum-
stantial as 10 leave no doubt of its truth.

The Credit EEo6jjier and the Penn
s1yJcas.3G legislature. r..

UncIe Jake Ziegler, editor of Ziegler's
DsmocrGt, Butler, Pa, III referring to the
debate in the Constit dtional Convention
upon the alleged enactment of tue Credit
Mobilier by the Pennsylvania Legislature
for the paltry sum of $50, 600, after it had
been refused incorporation by the lcgisla-
tlrres of New York and New Jersey, makes
the following explanation
The allegation made by Mr.. Boyd, that
$4,000 We're expended in procuring the
charter from the Legislature IS an ehure
mistake. We do not believe there was one
dollar expended for any such purpose one
thing is certain beyond even the semblance
Of doubt, and that is, neither Gen. Duff
Green Hon. David X. Porter, nor ourself
ever gave dollar 10 either Senators or Rep
resentatiycs for their vote IN the passage of
The bill We were the three persons who
shaped the bill and had it presented to the
Legislature we advocated IL on the broad
merit of being tho most feasible means of
uniting The Atlantic and Pacific sea boards
by rail developing the rich mineral resour-
ces OF the people, and advancing the inter
ests of the country generally. After we had
passed the bill, wa Went To Philadel phia and
organized the company. The war broke out
and the whole matter WAS lost sight of.
Dutf Green was in the South attending TO /,
sick wife and shut out from all com1nunica-
tion with the North. Hon. David r. Porter
was i'll Harrisburg and In feeble health We
were engaged i'll contributing all our feeble
ability TO put down the rebellion and SC
in the midst of the confusion, incident to
the then existing state of public affairs the
books, papers &c, were taken to New York
/ and there, together with the charter made
the basis of the whole Villainous proceeding:
which Congress is now engaged in investi
eating. We We're induced to sell our stock
tor S2I5 under the representation that tn,
/ project would never amount 70 anything il
the thon condition OF the charter. SubSe
quent to the sale, were informed that on
| thirty paid up shares, together with tht
stock subscribed, would have realized 81,
900 900.
We do not believe one dollar was even of
fersd to pass the bill by the New York o
New Jersey Legislatures. The Legislature
of Pennsylvania was the first iIupOrtune,
for it's passage, and they did it without tn
payment of dollar.
Another matter. The idea of fleeing tht
government of the United States, by TIN
mobilization Of its credit in the construction
of the Union Pacific Railroad, was conceiy
ed by the New York parties, and by then
carried to such extent rs has forced Congress
to investigate the conduct of all concerned
! in the business.

a BIT OF RcMANCE.-Mr. George Ste
phens is a successful business man of Pitts
burg. He came originally from New York
State, and few years ago, while clerk in
an Orange county store, he wooed and was
betrothed to Ella Morrison, a farmer S
daughter. For a year all was well, but
another young lady received trifling atten-
tions, and Ella broke the engagement
Stephens Il en- went to Pittsburg, where he
became the proprietor of a large manufac-
tory On Thursday last, he visited New
ark, n. j., and in passing through one of
the mills his eye met that of young lady
who was working Mt n loom. He pretend
ed not TO recognise her, but when the girls
came from the building when work was
dohe.Stephens was waiting. He addressed
The girl as Ella Morrison. Her father died
soon after he went to Pittsburg, and she
was left penniless. From Orange county
she went to New York, thence to Paterson
and Newark, working herway alone. Mr..
George Stephens and Miss Ella Morrison

THE Itahan-Spanish fizzle is at an end.
King Amadeus has abdicated the throne,
and by the very decisive vote of 259 to 30
the Spanish Cortes decided in favor of a
Republic on Tuesday night last Tho will
of the people is now law. AS the Philada.
Age pertinently remarks, this is the mill cf
the Gods grinding slowly but surely. When
Prim called the people of Spain to arms for
the expulsion of the Bourbons he promised
them Republic. They drove the Bour-
bons from Spain. They kept faith with
Prim, but he cheated them. Then came
his Vaccinations in favor of Il foreign
prince. He seated Amadeus upon the
throne Of Spain in opposition to the will
of the people, and met his death for his
treachely. Since that time the Republican
party have steadily gained ground. They
acted wisely but firmly. They ran into no
mad excesses. They followed no hair
Drained theories. They hoisted no flags
over an impracticable form of government.
They shot no priests, butchered no men for
their political opinions. They were calm
and resolute. They demanded n Republic.
They insisted upon home rule not that of
foreigner, placed on the throne by tricks
and falsehoods. In the Cortes the Rcoub-
lican party broke down one ministry after
another. No matter who espoused the
cause of Amadeus, they met the Same
fate-defeat. AT the same time the mass
es IN the rural parts of Spain supported
their advocates in the Cortes with heroic
courage and devotion. The end of all this
was the resignation of the Italian King of
Spain, and the establishment Of Repub-
lie by heavy majority in the CoItes.-
This opens a new era in The history of
Spain, Henceforth her fate is in The hands
OF her own people, not those of strar gers.
She can now work out her own destiny.-
Brave, devoted, sclf-sacrifcing Spaniards
will now give laws, ordinances and policies
To their native land, and Spain viii lean
INTO a commanding position among the na
tions of Europe.

PoMERoY's LITTLE GAME.-A Topeka
(KansasJ special to the St. Louis Globe con-
tains the following.
Edward Clark, recently rendered noto-
rious by being charged with having forged
what is known as the Ross letter, written
some years ago, III which NJ. Pomeroy
proposes to obtain a contract to furnish
provisions to Indians on the condition that
he should share the profits, WHO is law
yer, and is brother-in-law TO Schuyler Col
fax, came to Kansas III 1854, and remained
here six years. In 1859 he went to Wash
ington on business, and was in partner
ship with Mr.. Gaylord, a brothcr-in law of
Pomeroy. They separated, and Gaylord
went to New York and speculated, III con-
nectlon with the Senator, in liquors.
The relations existing between him aud
Mr.. PomerOy were very friendly when he
left Washington in 1865. He went to Erie,
Pa, remained there two years and removed
10 Sharon, Pa, where he now resides
lie first learned that he had been accused
of forging the Ross letter last December,
on the 21st, when lis attention was called
to an item in the Pittsburgh COHmerciai
He at first supposed that he was not the
person intended to be charged with the
crime. lie soon after received Il telegram
from Mr.. POmeroy desiring him to meet
him III Pittsburgh. lie declares that al
that meeting Pomeroy attempted to bride
him to sign a letter stating that he (Pome.
roy knew nothing of the Ross letter. He
refused SO to sign, and came to Kansas tc
get satisfaction for the injury that had beer
done to him. He says he received $1,000
I from Major Downs, Pomeroy's agent, tc
induce him to leava the State, but did not
leave, preferring To apply the $1,000 on his
own account for damages. He had sent
POmerOy word that lie would settle fOI
$40, coo, and if it was not Forthcoming
would bring suit against him for slandel
and libel /; would also sue j. Is. Stewart
and O. A. Stevens. He had always borne
good character. He regards the state

nation of his own, and slight vindication
OF his character. His manner, and the
