People are beginning to think now,
since the finding Of the big bonanza, that
a mining location anywhere within q
mile OF the Comstock is worth having.
Heretofore ground has been lying around
loose in most every direction, with no.
body to stake it off and post notices.
But now--now in these bonanza times
it is different. Men will not only go to
a good deal OF trouble to measure off
claims and to see that they proceed &C.
cording to law, aud close every avenue
which might lead to having them
jumped, but they are willing to shoot and
be shot, if necessary, just for foothold
in the neighborhood Of the Comstock.
The trouble at the Scorpion, and some
other troubles which are talked about,
are evidences Of this. The Mining Re-
corder told us yesterday that during the
past two weeks he had recorded more
locations than during the six months
preceding. Most of the locations are
being made to the northwsrd, in the
hope of meeting a continuation of the
bronanza out that way. But to the
southwark and to the eastward, and
away up on the side of Mount Davidson,
they are taking up claims right and left.

John has had new world opened up to
him, and he never tires Of recounting
the many wonderful sights that he saw
while away. Capt. George, Shoshone,
one of the party from Battle Mountain,
found one OF his white friends from that
place in the city, who took him around
one whole day to see the place. At night
he returned to his headquarters 80 glori-

Of city life, and without saving a word
to his comrades he took his blankets,
got on the cars, and never stopped till
he reached his ssge-brush home. While
in the city Natchez met man named
Cook, whom he had befriended during

token of his gratitude. generously gave
Natchez 800; which Natchez as gener-

MISTAKEN ADvERTIsING.-The Den
yer (Col.) Herald, in a late number,
expresses the opinion that the public
can be better reached through the
columns of q newspaper of a fair
circulation, ethan through all the
other mediums, costly circulars,
cards, posters, give-aways and jim
cracks put together. The old estab-
lished weekly newspaper is, after all,
the only general, judicious medium
for advantageous advertising. A
thousand doors are open to welcome
it; thousand messengers are week
ly seeking the post-ofice to receive
it; thousand families look for its
coming, and ten thousand read it
when it does come, advertisements
and all. There is much truth in
this. The thousands of dollars wasted
annually upon expensive almanacs,
circulars and other questionable
methods of advertising, which, in
company with patent Office reports,
find their way to the junk shop,
would render material aid toward the
support of numbers of deserving To-
cal papers, and also return something
in the way of profit to the advertiser.

MsoroghH ghand dCmt,Oh Tfd December Whole oaos

a Quakeress, entered tie Office of a
prominent railroad official yesterday
and asked for pass over the road,
good for one month. She stated that
she was engaged in missionary work,
and expected to do much good. The
peculiar character of the work was ex-
planned, and, asking the young lady
to be seated, the gentleman proceed
ed to fill out pass as requested.
This was handed to her, but, stating
that she could not read, she handed
it back. The gentleman read aloud
the pass-alowing her to go to any
point on the whole line of road at any
time within one month from date
The lady, to his surprise, dropped
on her knees and prayed earnestly
for some minutes. The act did not
surprise as much as her sweet tone
and beautiful language. Most beau
tiful thoughts were expressed in well
chosen words, and the woman seem
ed to yield to the spirit of the mo-
ment. In her own language, the
spirit moved her to thank God for
putting so good sman in such place.
She said she had been an idle, frivo-
lous girl, disposed to ignore theteach-
ings and customs of her people, but
that, uneducated as she was, she had
devoted herself to good work, and
had accomplished much, and hoped
to accomplish much more. This is
the incident as it occurred. Be the
woman whom she may, she produced
quite an excitement in places where,
generally, there is to much business
for anything in the romantic way.

Springfield & POmerOy Mar

Springfield & POmerOy Mar.
row Gauge II. IL.
A large and spirited Railroad
meeting was held at Greenfield on
Tuesday of last week, at which about
100 delegates were present from
Springfield, South Charleston, jeff.
ersonville, Washington, Bainbridge,
Waverly, Jackson and Pomeroy, and
great interest was manifested in the
proceedings. The result of the meet
ing was the incorporation of the
Springfield and Pomeroy Narrow
Gauge Railroad, to run through the
intermediate towns above name /,
with capital stock of S2,O0O,OOO.
The corporators are among the most
enterprising and wealthy citizens of
the various counties represented,
and from the earnest spirit displayed
at the meeting there is no doubt that
a great effort will be made to build
the road as projected.
The amount of stock apportioned
to Washington, Greenfield and Balm
bridge is $4,000 each, and to Pike
county 100000.
1t is evident from the action of
this meeting, that Springfield and
jackson have turned the cold shoul-
der to the Dayton & Gallipolis Mar
row Gauge road, via Xenia, Washing
ton and Chillicothe, at the head of
which is Col. Yeoman of Washing
ton. There is natural rivalry and
jealousy between Dayton and Spring
field, both large manufacturing
towns, which will prevent their act
ing together in favor of one line, and
this rivalry may result, in the defeat
of both projects.
The route of the proposed road
east of Waverly to Jackson, is over
the old road-bed of the Hillsboro &
Parkersburg R. R., which now be-
longs to the Southern Ohio r. R.
How the new company proposes to
meet this difficulty is not stated. In
view of all the existing circumstances,
we think it is high time the friends
of the Southern Ohio r. R. were
moving in favor of reviving the en-
terprise on the Narrow Gauge basis
in accordance with the suggestion
made in our columns several weeks
ago. If this is not speedily done,
there is great danger thatDayton will
abandon our line, and join her for
tunes with the Dayton & Gallipolis
Narrow Gauge project. We suggest
an early meeting of the friends of our
road, to take into consideration what
is best to be done.

THE MICHIGAN & OHIO R. R.
A BIT OF RELIABLE NEWS,
Thirty Miles of the Road
Nearly Completed.

[Chillicothe Gazette Dec. 9th.
We are in receipt of copies of the
Grand Haven Herald, which show
pretty conclusively that President
Gibbs is not myth, and that the
Michigan & Ohio is something else
than paper railroad. The Herald
of Nov. 21st contains an article of
over a column in length, which de.
scribes in detail the work already
done upon the Michigan end of the
line. The particulars of the route
pursued, description of cuts, fills, ETC.,
of course is of but slight interest to
our people, but we take the following
extract which will show the exact
amount of work performed up to
that date. The Herald gives its ar
ticle the following Introductory:
''It now becomes our pleasant task
to write up the Grand Haven end of
the line and to assure our Ohio
friends who are impatiently awaiting
the locating squad, the graders and |
then the iron-horse, that the work
here is progressing rapidly and sue
This certainly wears the air of
business and will tend greatly to re-
i've confidence in the project. We
begin to look hopefully forward to
he time when the snort of the iron
lorse will indeed be heard down the
ALLEY.

employees, who were discharged
from the NJ & c. r. R. Shops, in
this place, last summer, by reason of
the late embarrassing financial crisis,

may prove true. Happy New Year!

that the line yields a dividend of 29J
per cent on the original capital.
The chief cause of this wonderful re-

A MINIS TERING ANGEL.
Visits to the Penifeutfaries of
Indiana

On Sunday morning the State epris-
on South of Indiana, was visited by
Miss Sarah A. Sewell and Mr.. Lewis
Hockett and wife, who are Friends
from Ohio, and are visiting the pris-
ons of Indiana. Miss Sewell is one
of those rare examples of natural
born gifts, that seem to come fresh
from Heaven. She had been engag
ed on Friday and Saturday in visit
ing and conversing with the convicts
in their cells. On Sunday morning,
in company with Mr.. and Mrs Hook
EFT, she was in attendance at the Sun
day school of the convicts, and also
at church, where she delivered a re-
ligious discourse; although at the
time laboring under great physical
disabilities. Miss Sewell has been
preaching among the Friends for
about three years past, and notwith-
standing she has but limited edu-
cation, and has been prevented from
studying by sickness, her discourses
are full of interest and never fail to
awaken in the breasts of her hearers
a religious sentiment. The impulses
of her large and BENEVOLENT heart radi-
ate ON all sides, and permeate the aft
ections Of her fellow beings.
Her style of oratory is not bolster
Gus or fiery. She has clear, dis
tinct utterance; her words come out
round and well-fnished. She is ear
nest and sympathetic in her manner
of speaking, and is better calculated
to soften the hard-hearted than
more gifted and fowery orator. Miss
Sewell, in company with Mrs. Hook
ett, goes to the State Prison North,
at Michigan City, and thence to
Ohio.

WHAT IS SAID OF 1T.

Captain Tyler, inspector of Eng
lish railwys, says: "The adoption of
locomotive power upon this little
line is very important, and has evi-
IDENTIFY been a very successful expe-
riment.-The cheapness with which
such line can be constructed, the
quantity of work that can be eco
nomically performed by it, and the
safety with which the trains run
over it, render it an example which
will undoubtedly be followed, sooner
or later, in this country, India and
the Colonies"
