another very rich discovery in the
Printer Boy gold mine, which has
been located the past two years to

dismissed, and last summer a new
survey was made, when it was dis
covered that the drift was forty
eight feet off. A erosscut was then
started and resulted, about ten days.
IN finding the true vein, since which
time over GOO ounces of gold have
been taken out. The largest pocket
discovered last Tuesday. weigh

The company is making preparations
to work the vein on an extensive
scale. Quite a large quantity of
quartz has already been taken out.

A Crop of Live Lizards fn n woman's
Stomach.

The Reading Eagle tells this story:
On Wednesday Mrs. Mitchell vom-
iting the third live black lizard from
her stomach. She is the wife of Mr..
John Mitchell who resides in Cumru
township, aud is employed as a ma
chinist 10 the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad company's shops, and
yesterday morning her husband
brought the reptile along to this city,
when he came to work, and presented
it in a bottle to DR.. Dundore, who is
preserving it alive. 1t is four inches
in length, and is dark on the back
and spotted, very similar to a trout,
on the stomach.
Last spring, when returning home
from this city in q carriage, she vom
tied something alive, whilst she was
leaning over the side of the vehicle,
but did not stop to examine it. About
two weeks ago she felt a choking
sensation, and threw up into a basin
at home o live lizard, about four
inches in length, and on Wednesday
another one. About an hour there
after she felt a choking sensation
again in her throat, which had led
her to believe that there are more
lizards in her stomach.
Mrs%Mitchell is about 80 years OF
age, weighs over 200 pounds, and is
in good health, excepting that oeeas.
ionally she is afflicted with weak
spells and a choking sensation, but
these are of short duration. One
evening last summer a year ago she
drank water from the spout of a
pump, and remarked to her husband
at the time that she believed she had
drank something alive with the water.
Mrs. Mitchell intends taking some
drug to destroy the reptiles in her
stomach.

signs Of a desperate encounter. A
bloody pitchfork lay on the ground,
and blood stains formed a trail TO
the furnace in the tannery. Within
the enclosure in which the stable was
located, three fierce msstiffs were run
ming loose. From this and other
circumstances, it was inferred that
the murderers must be perfectly famil-
lar with the premises, SIS we'll as with
the habits Of the murdered man.
Suspicion settled on three men, An
drew Egner, Fred Egner, bis son and
George Rufer, a discharged employee
of the tannery. Persons testified TO
bearing threats against Sehilling's
life from all three of these. Rufer,
was discharged yesterday evening
and was familiar with the premises.
Egner and son keep a beer saloon
and eooper-shop next to the tannery
and were often 10 and out Of the lat
ter place. Early last August a Sc
duced daughter of Egner died in
childbirth, at the hospital. Egner

The peace for one year. Rufer, the
tanner, discharged last night. was an

He denies enmity against Scbilling,
but says Egner's son threatened
SchiIling's life, and that several of
the eoopers working for Egner had
said Schilling ought to be hung and
burned. Traces of blood have not
been found on the clothing, except
on Rulers shoes. The supposition is
that these men entered the stable
while Sehilling was asleep, beat him
with clubs and pitchforks and at
tempted to burn him. The excite

The general features OF panel work and
double ventilation are shown in fig. 3. A
and are districts IN which workings are
carried on they are separated from each
other by a barrier of solid COIL. Each dis
trict communicates with the upcast and
downcast shaft by means Of two passages,
one being used as the intake, and the other
as the return air course. At the bottom Of
the downcast shaft the air current divides
itself, one portion going to the district A.
the other to B. The stoppings which guide
the air are indicated by lines as before
After ventilating it's district each current
returns to the upcast shaft, through which
they ascend to the surface together Panel
work was introduced partly for the purpose
of preventing the spread of creeps" dur
ring the working out Of the pillars, partly
for the purpose Of confning the results Of
an explosion to the district in which it hap
pened. In the system of double ventilation
the true secret Of ventilating mines were
discovered. Two currents Of air were used
to ventilate the same space that was for
merly ventilated by one. In order, ,ithen,
that the same aggregate quantity Of air
might be supplied to the workings, each
current required to travel at one half the
velocity Of the single current, and that
part of the power which was necessarily
expended in overcoming friction, was re-
duced to one-eighth Of its former value.
The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1874-10-24

air But now source Of danger accom-
panied the introduction of the system Ii
was no longer possible, certainly, for large
accumulations Of explosive mixture to be
formed among the pillars, but the distance
to be travelled by the air as materially in-
creased and in order that thes same quanti-
ty as formerly might be supplied to the
workings, its velocity would require to in
crease at the same rate. Now, it is gen
orally accepted AS an approximation that
the resistance to the circulation Of the air
IN the passages Of a mine varies as the
square Of the velocity, and if we assume
this rate Of variation, we find that the
power required to make the air circulate
varies az the cube of the velocity. 1t soon
appeared that the same ventilatlng power
was no longer able to cope with the new
order Of things, and the air was occasion
ally so loaded with hre-damp when il
reached the upcast shaft, that it ignited at
the ventilating furnace.
In 1910 Mr.. Budd introduced his sys-
TEN of panel work and double ventilation
at his Wallsend collieries.
