A Geological Freak.

Tn the bottom of the main shaft of the
Virginia City Coal Company, Ell Dorado
Canon, Lyon county, says the Territorial
Enterprise, has been encountered the trunk
of a tree four feet in diameter, lone relic
of an ancient and extinct forest. Where
cut through by the shaft this old tree is
found to be perfectly carbonized-turned
into coal. Outside the old log is complete
ly crusted over with iron pyrltes, many Oh
which are SO bright that the crystals shine
like diamonds. These pyrites also extend
into the body of the log, filling what were
apparently once cracks or wind-shakes, and
even forming clusters about what was once
the heart of the tree. This relic OF an Old
time forest, lies far below the two veins OF
coal the company are about to open. Ihe
findinn of this old trunk is evidence that
the country was at some time, ages and
ages ago, covered by a forest OF large trees;
though the native timber growth, when the
country was first visited by the whites, and
as far back as the traditions of the Indian
extend. was but a few scrubby pieces OF
scrubby nut-pine. A few miles from the
shaft in which this tree was found are tf
be seen on the surface the petrified remains
of many large trees. In the early days Of
Washoe, before the prospectors had broker
them mp for specimens, pieces oftree trunks
2 or 3 feet in diameter and 20 or 30 feet II
length were to be seen lying upon the sur
face of the ground. However, these trees
and even the one found in the bottom O
shaft of the coal mine, may have come iron
the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains; may have have drifted out when sea
of water everywhere covered our presen
valleys. The water lines visible on the hill
show that the whole country was filled wit
lakes, and the petrified trees lying her
and there on the surface of the groun'
probably floated out on the waters OF tn
extinct lakes, and finally sunk to the bot
tom in the places where they are nov

Colorado Tourists.

Several prominent English parties are
summering in Colorado, among them Earl
Dunrayen, whose camping out experiences
in Estes Park were enlivened by a terrible
and almost death encounter with a Rocky
Mountain lion. The Earl and friends, after
weeks OF trouting, hunting, mountain
climbing, and gathering of specimens, up
in the vicinity of Longs Peak, have re-
turned to Denver en- route home. Canon
Kingsley and daughter have been quietly
ruralizing at Manitou Springs. He has de-
livered his lecture ON Westminster Abbey
at Denver and Colorado Springs to large
and intelligent audiences. Robert Collyer
and q party of Chicago diyines have just
completed fortnight's trip among the
parks and peaks. Senator Bogy, of Mis-
souri,, with a party of st. Louis capitalists
and editors, is at Idaho Springs, having
taken in side trips to Fall River, Chicago
Lakes, and the ascent of James and Grays'
| Peaks. Grace Greenwood is pleasantly
domiciled at her mountain villa. General
/ Phil Sheridan, whose brother Mark is in
charge Of the Fairplay land Office upin the
Mount Lincoln district, has just nads a fly-
/ ing visit to the Territory. The twenty
i pulpits of Denver are supplied from Sab

Taking Advantage of an Accident.

Three men-of-war ships-Dutcl, French,
and English-while anchored in port, were
c0ntendino with each other fnrfhn hast die
active sailor to perform some deed OF grace
and daring. The Dutch captain sent a
Dutchman, the French Frenchman, and
the English an Irishman. The Dutchman
stood on the top of the mainmast with his
arm extended. The Frenchman then went
aloft and extended both hands. Now the
Irishman thought if he could stand on the
top of the mainmast with a leg and an arm
extended he would be declared the most
daring sailor. Nimbly he clambered aloft
until he reached the highest point; then he
carefully balanced himself on both feet, ex-
tending his right hand with a graceful mo-
ton. Then he threw out his left leg until
it came into line with his right arm. In
doing so he ingloriously lost his balance and
fell from the mast, crushing through the
rigging toward the deck. The various
ropes with which he came in contact broke
his fall, but his velocity was not too great
to prevent his grasping a rope attached to
the mainyard. To this he hung for two
seconds; then, dropping lightly to the deck,
landed safely on his feet. Folding his arms
triumphantly. as if fall and all were in the
programme, he glanced toward the rival
ships and joyously exclaimed "There, bate

Black Hills Gold Discoveries.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean, Aug. ~ J.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean, Aug. 27.
The Black Hills can be reached from
Chicago in six days, and we should Il not be
surprised to see gold excitement spring.
ing up over this intelligence rivalling the
California fever of '49. Already the front.
ier towns are in a tumult, and the excite.
ment is spreading. Little is talked of Oh
thought about save the discoveries in this
wonderful land. Besides the gold which
| is found in such abundance, iron, plumbago
and gypsum exist in lmitless quantities,
and the soil and the climate are of the most
| inviting description. There is a treaty
which makes any excursion by the whites
into this region unlawful, but the govern
ment will without doubt take speedy
measures to make satisfactory arrangements
with the Indians for it's occupation. 1t
| would be sin against the country and
against the world to permit this region, SO
rich in treasure, to remain unimproved and
unoccupied, merely to furnish hunting
grounds to sayages. We owe the Indians
justice and fair play, but we owe it to civ
lllzatlon that such a garden of mineral
wealth should be brought into occupation
and use. There will be little difficulty,
however, if care is observed not to precipi-
tate hostilities by too speedy and unau-
thorized invasion. Those contemplating
going there should wait for the proper per-
mission, though we doubt if this will be
case, as the temptation is too strong to
brook delay. We shall probably hear in
in consequence of collisions with the In
dians, though these will not stop the tide
which not even the fear of. death seems ca
pable of stemming in such cases.
1t will not be many days now before we
shall know officially Still further of this
important discovery. Sufficient is already
known, however, to make it certain that
the region is rich in mineral wealth, and
extends the strongest inducements to set
tlement and development. There is no
greed like that for gold, and there is al
ways danger of hasty and precipitate action
under the stimulus of an excitement which
urges the settler to fields like these. Men
should reflect well before they move in
such matter, and weigh well the chances,
the hardships, and the probabilities of fail
ure. 1t is always wise to let well enough
alone, and those who are in the enjoyment
of comfortable positions would exhibit
sound judgment by remaining where they
are. To others the case may be different.
We utter this timely warning in view of
the inevitable excitement which must
spring up over this discovery, and to eau
tion people against the headlong rush
which brought so much disappointmenta and
to thousands in the days of the
first settlement of California.

The Old Barns Tenantry.
by B. F. TAYLOR.

The rooster STALKS on the hangers ledge,
He has tail like a scimctars edge,
A marshal's plume on his afghan neck,
An admirars stride on his quarter deck;
He rules the roost and walks the bay
With dreadful cold and Turkish way.
Two broadsides fires with his rapid wings
This sultan proud of line of kings
One cultural laugh, four blasts of horn,
Five rusty syllables rouse the morn!
The Saxon lambs in their wooden tabs
Are playing school with the a, b, abs;
A, e! l, o! All the cattle spell
Till they make the blatant vowels tell.
And haiflaugh whinny Ellis the stalls
When down in the rack the clover falls,
Above is waltzing around his mate,
Two chcvrons black on his wings of slate,
And showing off with q wooing note
The satin shine of his golden throat
IL Is OVlu ART OF Love, retold
In binding fine of blue and gold!
All, the buxom girls that helped the boys,
The nobler Helens of humber Troys-
As they stripped the husks with rustling fold
From eight-rowed corn as yellow as gold
By the candlelight in pumpkin bowls,
And the CLEANS that showed fastastic holes
In the quaint old lanterns tattocd tin,
From the hermit glim set up within;
BY the rarer light in grlish eyes
As dark as wells, or as blue as skies.
] hear the laugh when the car is red,
l see the blush with the forfeit paid,
The cedar cakes with the ancient twist,
The cider cup that the girls have kissed;
And see the fiddler thro ugh the dusk
As he twangs the ghost of 'Money Muskr'
The boys and girls in doutl. row
Wait face to face till the magic bow
Shall whip the tune from the violin.

Between the years of 1866 and 1866
the investments in Colorado mines from
the city of New York are placed by the
Mining Reuiew at $4s,O000O0, of which
$50, 900, 900 were paid in cash. The prop
erty thus acquired is located about as fol-
lows: $1,000 feet in Gilpin county gold
district; 5000 in Boulder and Clear Creek
counties, and 1000 feet which can't be
found and probably never existed. The
mining property is now held at $12, 30, 600
and the permanent Improvements are val
ed at $14, 100000. The mill property is
worth So, 900, 900. The bullion taken out is
worth SO, 900, and taking these figures
the Mining Reoieao claims that the balance
in favor Of Nthe New York investors
should be 81, 500, o00-a result reached by
subtracting SsO,0oO,oo0, the first invest
ment, from s3t, 500, 900, the aggregates Of
the foregoing improvement figures.
But, as the Reoiew observes, no such ball
ance was returned, owing to wasteful man
agement and to an originally extrayagant
purchase.

RRIGHAMs NINETEENTH.
Sister Ann Eliza Brings Suit for Divorce
Brigham Young's eply-Celestial
Marriages Brlgham's Property.

SALT LAKE, August 26th.-Applicatio
has been made by Ann Eliza Young to the
Third District Court of Utah for a divorce
from Brigham Young. Her application
states that she was married to Brigham
Young April 6, 1865; that for period of
OF about one year after their marriage
Brigham Young lived and cohabited with
her, but after that time he treated her with
neglect and unkindness, and pursued to-
ward her a systematic course of cruelty
and inhuman treatment ending in absolute
desertion, and that she believes $40, 900 a
reasonable amount for counsel fees and
$1,000a month a reasonable amount for
the support of herself and children.
The answer filed with the clerk of the
District Court by Brigham Young denies
that on the 9th day of April, 1868, or at any
other time, himself and Ann Eliza were in
termarried, or that since that time, she has
been or now is his wife. 1t alleges that on
April 10, 1868, Ann Eliza married James
l.. Dee, who is still living, or that she still
is the lawful wife of Dee, and never, as he
believes, having been divorced from said
Dee, but that on the 9th day of April, 1868,
he was informed and verify believed that
prior to that time she had been divorced
from said Dee. That on the 10th day of
January, 1884, he being an unmarried man.
was lawfully married to Mary Ann Angel,
at Kirkland, Ohio, and that said Mary Ann
Angel is still living, and is his lawful wife.
All of which facts Ann Eliza knew on the
9th of April, 1868. He further says that on
the 9th of April, 1868, himself and Ann
Eliza were members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, and that it is
a doctrine and belief of that church that
members thereof may rightfully enter into
plural or celestial marriages, and admits
that, in accordance with such doctrine of
the Church, a ceremony was performed at
the time stated, to unite them in what is
known as such plural or celestial marriage.
That she was then informed by him and
well knew that by reason of said marriage
in this matter she could not have and need
not expect his society or personal attention
as in the ordinary relation between husband
and wife. He denies any neglect or un- |
kindness, but AYERS that she voluntarily |
left and deserted his house. He further
denies that $4,000 or any sum whatever,
would be reasonable fee for counsel or |
that Sl 900, or any sum exceeding 800 per
month would be reasonable allowance for |
plaintiff and her children. That to the |
best OF his knowledge and information, all |
his property does not exceed in value the |
sum of $500, 600, and that his income does |
not exceed $4,000 per month. That he has
large family now, consisting of sixty-three
persons, all of whom are dependent ON him
for support, and he prays that the suit be
dismissed.
