Rich Strike.

The Placer Herald Of February LIST
is authority for the annexed state
ment:
Two men (whose names for the pres
ent we suppress, as we'll rs the exact
locality where the treasure lies) have
struck n fsbulously rich quartz lead,
less than three miles from here, within
the last few days. We have G q
ffteen-ounce lump of the rock and
should say that fully six ounces Of the
weight Is pure gold. On Thursday
last they had out some 200 or 300 pounds
of this rich rock, which, II equally rich
with that we saw, must contain about
500 to the pound. Don't be alarmed,
reader. for we are not going to say that
their 800 pounds Of rock will pan out
$50, 900 until we see it all. The quartz
Is a dirty white color and literally
sewed together with pure, bright,
thread gold. They have a shaft down
some nine feet, and had traced the
ledge BY its rich groupings to this
point, aud there stated the shaft OH
what seemed to be the richest locality.
The discoveries desire to make and
secure their locations complete before
making all the particulars public.

Bringing Dead Men to Life.

There Is quite q remarkable story In
the London Globe. which purports to
come from Paris, and relates to a SCI
entitlc operation there, which reminds
one Of the stories Of Edgar Poe. 1t Is
related that a German professor begged
two condemned Communists, named
Dodu and Brun. from NJ. Theirs, In
order that he might, rs a scientific ex-
pertinent, kill them and bring them to
lie again at the end Of three months
after death. His plan was to inject
solution of calx into the system, by
which decomposition was to be pre-
vented and according to his theory
the patient might be revived, not only
at the end Of three months, but Of
three hundred years, according to de-
sire. In the presence Of medical men
and public functionaries, the professor,
having administered chloroform to
each Of the men, injected the solution
and then bled them till they died. The
corpses were then desiccated by the
heat Of furnaces till they shriveled and
till the skin became yellow like
leather. In this state they remained
Ia a moderate temperature for the pre-
scribed three months, and then the pro-
cess Of reviyification began by inject
ing the blood Of two healthy laborers
and applying the galvanic battery.
The process completely failed In the
case Of Dodu. But in that of Brun,
the result was, to say the least, sur
prising. First, the Opaque eyeballs
rolled In their yellow sockets, the
muscles began to twltch, tho heart to
beat, and, after fourteen hours of treat
ment, Brun spoke, rose from the table,
swallowed a bowl of beef tea and sew
eral ounces of brandy, and audibly
grumbled Of soreness In his limbs and
Of pain in the regions that had rested
OH the table. He Is said to be now
alive and we'll In Switzerland. under
the assumed name of Forbe, while a
post mortem examination showed that
fatty degeneration Of the heart had
prevented the revival Of Dodu. The
attention of persons wishing to be re-
vlvified Is called to this circumstance,
as showing them that heart disease is
especially to be avoided by them.

THE MINT AND TIE ooMsTocK

Congressman Kendall has our ap-
preciative thanks for a copy of the an
nual report Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury on the state Of the national
finances for the year 1872. 1t contains
a vast amount Of interesting statistical
and other matter, not the least among
which Is tho report Of the Director OF
the Mint, giving the coinage Of the
Mint and all its branches throughout
the Union, including Of course the
Carson Mint. This last Is spoken Of
moro deliberately than all the rest,
with interesting illusions to its con-
nection with the mines Of this vicinity.
In relation to the future productions
of these mines, and the deep workings,
he says:
The past years experience on the
Comstock lode has established a point
upon which there had hitherto been
some uncertainty in the public mind,
and some experts in mining matters,
viz: That in the deeper workings of
the mines, deposits of ore are reached
even more extensive and rich than are
found nearer the surface. This has
created great faith In tue permanence
of the lode, and greater confidence In
exploring and working 1t. The devel-
opments In the lowest levels Of some
of the prominent mines at the depth OF
1900 feet, have given o fresh impetus
to work upon the lode. Many partial
~ prospecsed claims upon which work
had been for some time suspended,
have again boen opened new and ex-
pensive machinery provided, and some
arc already showing good veins Of pay
matter.

In illustration OF the perfectly free
aud easy, devil-may-care way they
have Of killing, robbing and otherwise
diverting themselves out at Phoebe,
the Record mentions that a week ago
last Sunday night, right In the midst
Of the city, when hundreds Of people
were on the street, 4 barrel Of sherry
wine, and q barrel of butter, worth
$l25, were boldly rolled away from
the front Of Jas. Cro1an's store. The
Record feels sure that at least fifty men
or more must have been met by the
rascals when making of with their
booty. and adds: "what q jolly good
time these hoodlums will have getting
drunk on that sherry while planning
future schemes Of villainy! All hood
lumdom will now have a grand gala
day. Shouldn't be surprised to see
them around during their Qualifications
peddling the butter" As soon as the
new morgue Is started, those sherry
and butter pirates will be scooped up
and taken In.

privately worked up before they are

resolution, Is one to increase the ssla-
ries OF Senators and Members to $4,000

conceived this project, in order to gain
strength for 1t, have proposed to make
the act retroactive, so as to apply to
the whole Of the present Congress. In
this way they hope to enlist in its sup
port many members whose terms Of

and who would vote against any IL
