AT rHE MORGAN MILL.


A short time since NO had tho pleas
urs Of spending 4 few hours at the
Morgan mill, situated on the Carson
river, n short distance east OF Empire
A Fine quart. Mill.
All Of the machinery connected with
the mill was in the completest order,
and running like clsck work. Tho en-
gino.room was worry clean. There
was not a drop OF grease to DO seen on
the floor, which was rs white a. that
Of a Shaker church. The engine was
a beauty to behold. In the engineer
we recognized II old.time friend,
w. O. Brosdhsad. a worry comDanlons-
Bile gentleman. Attic MILL We saw In
operatIon a pump Involving tho prin-
cipls Of the famous Archimedean
screw. 1t stands at an anglo OF thirty
degrees. and daily pumps up to the top
OF the building the refuse water from
the settlers, together with about twenty
tons Of sand. Several years ago .
gentleman applied for . patent for q
pump of this description, but was cha
grincd to .learn that the same kind OF
pump was In use on the banks OF the
Nile thousands Of years ago.
Among the improvements recently
made at the mill l, an immense blanket
fume. containing five slulees, each GOO
feet In length. the superticles OF the
whole amounting to 5000 feet. We
had a very pleasant chat with the ell.
cient foreman, Hon. A. j. Lockwood,
10 whom we were Indebted for many
courtesies.
Mr.. John Hanson. tho Supcrlnten-
dent, and his estlmable wifo treated as
with p~rincsly hospitality. Hanson has
enough novelties about hi, premises to
stock woodward's Gardens.
Mig Dog.
The first thing he showed Us was an
immense dog. In fact the largest one
OH the Pacific coast. lie Is OF the st.
Bernard species, Is Of black and white
color, and Is named Caesar. Tho dog
Is three feet In hight, and tho length Of
lis body being nearly i've feet exclu'
slve OF his tall. He Is Indeed q noble
looking animal and worthy Of his Inn
peratorial cognomsn. Cn,ar, on the
day Of our visit, was out cumming :"
around town and had to be hunted up.
When his master brought him Into the
house. the noble animal showed signs
ofyullt In his countenance, and at once
slowed himself away under tho plano.
from which lodging place he could
hardly be dislodged.
singular Amiiation.
In the barnyard we saw y deer be-
tween whom and n couple Of half
grown kittens there sa curious afil-
iation. The. Intimacy sprang up In
this wise: At night the deer sleeps
close to a pile OF hay In a small barn.
The kittens YER born In tho same
barn. When they were q week old
the mother deserted her offspring, after
which they were fed with milk out OF
the same dish with the deer. Owing
to this circumstance . great affection
has sprung up among the trio. The
kittens sleep on tho dser's back at
night. and follow him about yard In
the daytime. Mr.. Hanson has o fine
collection OF
Barnyard Fowls.
Among them Is a peacock having a
tall very much exaggerated In length.
III, majesty will not eat with the
chickens. but waits for hi, supper un.
Ill they are done, for fear that they
will touch his tail. The length Of this
article does not permit US to 90 farther
with an enumeration Of the many
wonderful living curlositlss to DO seen
about the premises. Suffice 1t to say,
Hanson would not have n blpsd or
aunlr,.nal nhaut him nnlaas n~nssasslnn
