The burglars tried their hand at M.
Keller's wine depot on Monday night.
After all the trouble of getting into
the place they only succeeded in steal
| ing a revolver, as Mr.. Matthews, the
bookkeeper, had taken all the money,
out of the drawer late in the evening.
~ Do not forget that tomorrow even
ing the ladies of Ell Monte will give
an entertainment, the proceeds of
which are to be appropriated to the es-1
| tablishment of an Episcopal Church
| at that place. The entertainment
takes place at Jones' Hotel, and the
| fact that 1t is under the management
| of Mrs. Gen. Stoneman, Mrs. Geo. H.
Peck, Mrs. Horn, Mrs. Jones and Mrs.
| Arnold, is sufficient guarantee that it
will be most enjoyable event. Can
didates should attend this entertain
ment.
Our friend Mr.. E. G.. Gaertner, ar
rived yesterday from the Charlotte
mine. He has just completed the
erection of a second arastra. Mr.. g.,
exhibited to us the gold realized from
the crushing of one ton of Charlotte
rock. 1t is beautiful bullion, and
amounts to little over $50. 1t was
crushed in the new arastra, and as the
cracks of course had to be filled up,
this yield is equivalent to at least
eighty dollars a ton. He can now
crush with the two arastras combined
two and quarter tons of rock a day.
The shaft is down twenty-five feet in
Charlotte, and the vein is three feet
wide. The Poyereflo also promises
well. There is little doubt but that a
will yield handsomely from the start
county,. In few days Mr.. Gaertner,
accompanied by DIR. Stairway, the
President of the Company, DIR. Lind
enfield and several of the stockholders,
will return to the mine. The Char
lotte may. be emphatically called a
physicians mine,as there are so many
of that profession interested in it. We
look for splendid developments
shortly.
& AS our City Fathers are greatly in
terested in the question of sewerage,
perhaps the following account of an
English method will be read with
profit: "An interesting experiment
has been for time in progress. at
Croyden, Eng gland, but has attracted
comparatively little notice. The sew
age of the whole town, of some $4,000
| inhabitants, is carried for considera-
BILE distance to a farm of about 500
acres. Before being delivered upon
the land it is passed through re-
volving screen which extracts the
larger solid matters. The farm has
sub-straum of gravel, and the soil has
been artificially levelled very care
fully. Numerous drains and bitches
pass through the land, and by very
simple devices the sewage is daily
spread evenly over the whole surface
OF the farm. 1t is estimated that one
third of the water finally runs of,
twO-thirds being soaked into the
ground, evaporated and absorbed by
the vegetation. That which escapes
is clear and tasteless and part of it
is used by gentleman in the neigh
borhood for an ornamental trout pond.
Analysis shows it to be as pure as
pond or river water generally. The
financial results of the experiment
have been very gratifying. The town
is obliged to pay a rent of GlO all acre,
about eight times as much as the land
was worth when the farm was estab-
lished, fifteen years ago, but nOtwith-
standing this excessive rent, the eX-
pense of working was but g2 an acre
last year. That is to say, the entire
sewer system Of town of $1,000 in
habitants, imposes an annual charge
of only $1,000, although it requires
| the occupation of very large tract of
land. The crops raised are enormous,
and the products fetch the highest
price," geoDe
1t gives us great pleasure to recon-
mend to our readers going east, the
Chicago and North Western Rail-
way. This line is making great prep
arations for the Centennial year, and
will be provided for all the travel.
The Chicago & North Western Rail-
way is the Pioneer line between Chi
cago and the Pacific Coast, and was
the first to connect with the great Pa
cific roads, and form the overland
route. 1t is the shortest rail line be-
tween Omaha and Chicago. This pop
ular route is unsurpassed for speed,
comfort and safety. The smooth, we'll
balIasted, and perfect track of steel
rails, the celebrated Pullman Palace
Sleeping Cars, the perfect telegraph
system of moving trains, the regulari-
ty with which they run, tie admira-
bic arrangement for running through
cars to Chicago from all points West,
North, and North West, secures to
passengers all the comforts in modern
railway travelling. The trains that
run over this line are made up of ele-
giant new Pullman Palace Drawing
Room and Sleeping Coaches, built ex.
pressly for this line, luxurious, well
lighted and well ventilated Day
coaches, and pleasant lounging and
smoking cars; all built by this Com
pany in their own shops. The cars
are all equipped with the celebrated
Miller Safety Platform, and patent
Buffers and Couplings, Westinghouse
Safety Air Brakes, and every other
appliance that has been de-
vised for the safety of passenger trains.
All trains are run by telegraph. In a
