CAPTAIN S. T. CURTIS, superintendent
of the Ophir, is confined to his room
with a disabled leg. Some time since he
knocked the skin off bis ankle, and the
wound, though slight, soon became badly
inflamed, and finally the whole leg was
very badly swollen. At one time there
was some danger Of his losing the limb.
1t is thought the wound was poisoned by
the hot water on the l70O-foot level, 1t
being strongly impregnated with min
erals. He is now so much better that
he expects to be able to be out in two or
three days. He has had very rough
time of it. however, Virginia Enter

ACCORDING to the computation of the
San Francisco journal of Commerce,
our yearly invoice includes the following
neat little items: Wheat,sS44. 900, 900;
vine, 81 600, 600; wool, $40 900, 600; mis-
cellaneous cereals, minerals, etc, So
600, 000 gold and silver, $50, 600 600,
making about $97 600, 600 in raw materi-
al alone. We have probably added at
least $50, 600, 900 to the value of this pro-
duce by labor expended on manufactur-
ing part of it, and thus il would be
perfectly safe to represent the years
earnings at nearly 10000, 600 from
these sources alone. i San Francisco

As prophesied in these columns a few
days since, another effort will be made to
raise money wherewith to fit out treas
ure-hunting expedition for Cocos Island.
David Sutherland, alias "Scotty," says
the late expedition failed in success on
account of coming upon water, which
they could neither drain off nor bail ont
before reaching the buried millions. He
now thinks that if they had on the
ground big pump to keep the hole clear
of water, they would have no trouble in
finding the treasure. Call up the gud-
geons once more.-[S. F. Chronicle.
