James Montgomery has just returned
from an extensive tour through the
Eastern States, and will now remain
with us awhile. He is ready and will
ling to build a furnace, when required.
George Howell, superintendent of
the Pancake coal mine, has been in
town for a few days on business. He
reports the mine looking we'll.
CHERRY CREEK.-Sheriff Raum re-
turned from Cherry Creek on Satur-
day night last, bringing with him
thirty or forty pounds of the finest
specimens we have ever seen from that
district. These specimens came from
the Star, Chance and Teacup mines,
which are being worked with good
judgment and complete success, The
Star mine, which only a few months
ago was bought for $40, 900, has al
ready shipped bullion to the value of
100000, one third being gold. AT the
present depth (250 faet) we are in
formed that the mine is yielding the
richest rock yet found in Cherry
Creek. Other mines are being pros
pected with fiattering results. The
snow has retarded the working of the
mines this Winter, and when Mr..
Raum left there was dust in the streets.
CoNsoLIDATIoN.-The owners of the
Julia, Prussian, Belcher, Boetzel and
Amazon lodges effected a ~consolida-
ton OF their valuable mines on Mon
day last. The company propose to do
extensive work; during the coming
season. The claims are situated OF
White Pine mountain, and in the
neighborhood of the Mobile mine.
The owners have great confidence in
their future. 1t is the intention of the
new company to take out a large quan-
tity of ore, and have It ready for shin.
ment when the roads are inf good con.
dition. 1t now looks as if a large
amount of work will be done on Ole
White Pine mountain this Spring. A
furnace must be built to reduce Tho
ores Of this district, which can be pro
duced in great quantities.

SCIENCE.

A correspondent of the White Pine
News has explored a cave. And such
a cave! 1t lies in the northeast portion
of White Pine county, extends several
miles in all directions, contains several
chambers built of polished marble,
porphyry and bloodstone and, OF areas
varying from to SIX square miles.
A party OF scientists was lately lost
therein for several days, and tradition
reports that two lovely Gcshoot maid
ems, after wandering two years among
its lofty labyrinths, emerged into the
upper air speaking a " various Ian
guage" and clothed with an unknown
beauty. This natural curiosity is prob
ably a continuation of the famous cave
discovered by John Haroldson, in
Eastern Tennessee, during the latter
years of the rebellion. This, it will be
remembered, was a vast deposit OF
nitre, and al exploring party Consist
ing of the surgeon of the Tooth Illinois
and his hospital steward), disc overed
and rescued therefrom a human being
who for nine calendar months had
been confined there without the posi-
bility of escape. The poor creature
was unable to use his limbs, was de-
void of hair and teeth, and was unable
to articulate-its faculties of speech be-
ing confined to a shrill wailing cry.

THE MINERAL HILL STRIP.-We are
in receipt from Carson, from all un-
known hand, of a fine tracing, on a
large scale, of the boundary lines of
Humboldt, Lander, Eureka, Elko and
White Pine counties, and the line of
the Narrow-Gauge railroad. This now
lies within our county limits. Our
new boundary line is drawn from the
point on the c. p. r. r., where it now
crosses the railroad, to the point of in
terscction of the 10th meridian west

WASHINGTON. Feb. %.
As the question came up in the
House, when the reports on Louisi-
ana affairs were submitted to-day, as
to which was the majority report and
which the minority report, it may he
stated that all the members OF the
committee report against the action of
the Returning Board; that Foster,
Phelps, Potter and Marshall unite in
the majority report; that there Mas no
general intimidation in hat State but
a free and fair election, of which the
result was in favor of the Conserva-
tives, who were deprived of the result
by the wrongful action of the Re-
turning Board; that Hoar, Wheeler
and Frye unite in a minority report;
and that Foster assents with Hoar,
Wheeler and Frye to a compromise,
recognizing Kellogg as Governor and
giving a majority in the House to the
Conservative delegates.
The refusal OF the House to-day to
set the time Tor considering the Texas
Pacific bill, may be considered SON
elusive of its chance this session.
Scott's friends generally concede this,
but say it will pass next Winter, when
Congressman will be less timid.
Senator Stewart says he had in
tended to call an extra meeting of the
Railroad Committee to morrow to act
on the bill but now considers it evil

BENNETT. JR., on GRANT.

The New York Herald has under
taken the herculean task of persuad-
ing Grant to resign, and, with charac-
teristic persistency, devotes a column
daily to pressing the matter upon his
attention. It's last argument has at
least the merit of originality. 1t as
sumes that Grant is and ever has been
influenced by a craving for the odd,
for the naturalization of his individ-
al originality.
at is very clear that among the in
fifnliiies of President Grants ono no.
BILE nature is an ambition to be some
thing or do something entirely differ
ent from his predecessors; to be spok-
en- of now and written of hereafter as
having left the rut of precedent, how
ever sacred, and hewed out a path for
himself. None but himself is to be
his parallel. This is noticeable in
small things as well as great. No
President ever before appointed multi
tudinous relations to lucrative offices.
Washington, that obsolete eXemplar,
refused to make he nephew, whom he
loved, and who was worthy of his love,
District Attorney at Alexandria; and
this because he was his nephew. What
orr incumbent of to-day has done and
continues to do we all know and need
not repeat. No President ever before
accepted presents or paid visits or went
junketing about the country with a
class of privileged pets. No President
before sought an increase of salary"
$50 is it," continues the Henald, sin
grave Matters" The San Domingo
folly is without precedent; the indorse-
ment of Sheridan's usurpation and
brutality Is without precedent; his
craving for a third term is without
precedent; and his course in the Ar
kansas matter all his predecessors
would. have :shrunk from. Now, ar
CUES the Herald, there is no prece-
dent for the resignation of a President;
therefore, let Grant seize the golden
opportunity and signalize himself as
the only statesman who, by a volun-
tary resignation OF power, has sought
to relieve the people from the ills in
CURED by his rule. Such a course of
proceedings would be in complete ac-
cordance with his record and his am
bition. as

The Poll Tax Swindle-The MILL

Railroad The Whereabouts OF
Chavez.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "a.
The Investigation into the affairs of
the Tax Collectors office by the FL
nance Committee of the Board of Su-
pervisors, was continued yesterday.
No evidence was ad6uced throwing
any new light on the matter, though
a number of witnesses we're exam
ined. MIR. Austin made an extended
statement, explaining the difficulty of
avoiding errors in books when crowd
ed with business, especially in re-
gard to poll taxes. MIR. Ashbury, Au-
ditor, testified, confirming the state
ment of Austin. The investigation
will probably be completed this
week.
In the Probate Court, yesterday,
the petition of Emma A. Milliken,
daughter of 7. j. Milliken, late "a prorni-
nent merchant of Sacramento, for the
reconsideration of the letters of admin
istration granted upon the estate of
her father to G.. M. Stratton, came up.
Letters were granted TO Stratton upon
the request of Kate p. Pearson, IA mu-
latto woman, who represented herself
to be the widow Of Millikcn. The case
excites much interest on account of the
notoliety attached to the liaiSon of
Milliken with the woman, resulting
in the obtaining OF a divorce by his
wife and his marriage to Kate Pear
son the next day, and his subsequent
death. The point sought to be made
by the petitioner is hat the marriage
was null and void on recount of the
wonla being a mulattO. The case
was continued to Friday, March 5th,
when the question of jurisdiction and
whethera mulatto under the Constitu-
ton of the United States MAS prohib-
tied from marrying white man will
be argued.

THE South STAR.-Some very fine
looking rock has been taken from the
South Star claim, formerly known as
the Columbia ground, and situated on
the south extension of the Comstock.
The ledge from which it came is in
the range and vicinity Of the recent
strike in the Amazon. Its ncighbors
are the Dayton, Dancy, Kossuth and
others in that section. The rock
shown was from depth of thirty-five
feet, and has all the appearance of
Comstock ore. 1t is the intention of
the Company to put a gang Of men
to work this week. The location is
an old one, and contains twelve hun
bred feet north and south by six hun
bred feet east and west. Some $780,
600 were expended in former years in
prospecting the claim and considera-
Bile ore was taken therefrom. 1t was
heretofore bonded to an English COM
pany for $450,000, and would have
passed into their possession only for
a delay in issuing their patent, which
was subsequently obtained. 1t is the
intention of the Company now to de-
velop the claim, and work will be be-
gun at once and carried on systematic
cally.

A NoMADIc ARTIsr.-Among the
Sioux, Mountain Crows, and, partic-
ularly, the Gros Ventres Of Dakota,
the art of painting is profusely dis
played on the white side of the fur
skins which they bring to the trading
posts, but on inspection of their work
we feel constrained to give the palm
to the Piutes. Indian Charley, a
semi-civilized Piute who cleans spit
boxes for the different saloons, blacks
boots, and performs other mental SER
vices for the whites hereabouts, is
fast developing into an artist of no
mean pretensions. To be sure his
sketches arc crude and rough, but his
subjects are happily chosen and he
executes them with comprehensive
ity very creditablc to one of his con-
ception of artistic genius. The par
lors of several of our citizens are
adorned by his pencil efforts, and he
is now drawing sketch of the Piute
camp above town for the TIMES Office.
With characteristic talent he gives a
view of the "cwooked wailwoad" in
the distance, a front view of the
Sutro Tunnel, with its chief pusher
emerging on a car laden with gold
and silver bars. In the foreground is
a sketch of Silver City, and, lowering
over the town, what we take to be the
spirit of Judge Gould waving the
flag of Justice above the heads of a
group of Mongolians. In the center
of the penciled city, stands a majestic
church and, mounted on its spire is
the statute of Riley Armstrong hold
ing a banner inscribed "Haec olim
meminisse juvabit"Qt will be pleased
to remember these hercafter.) Mount
ed in an obscure niche of the sacred
walls stands the reporter of the TIMES
wearing a badge on his forehead let
tered with the words, "Custres mo-
rum"-(Thc guardian of morality
Above the church and almost out OF
sight the artist has drawn a very cor
rect likeness of Daggett of the EN-
terprise," clad in a pair of goose's
wings, flying away from small
Sioux papoose, and with a streamer
floating from his cheek, reading
"Errare est humanum"-CTo err is
human.) Many other unimportant
sketches are embodied in the picture,
but are not finished. When compile
ted and delivered, we shall give a
fuller description. Charley's pictures
are certainly worthy Of praise, and
taking into consideration the fact
that he draws whole panorama for
IS, he is deserving of patronage.

Races.--A grand row occurred ut
Chinese sh-house on Main
street on Sunday evening, which re-
suited in the battering of several
Cinnamon and the financial dis
comforture of Swede, by the name
of Robt. Dixon. A charge Of assault
and battery was preferred by Dixon
yesterday, and all parties were
brought into judge Gould's Court,
ut Arnory Hall. Judge Putnam
conducted the prosecution in the alb
sence of the District Attorney, and
Judge Powell acted for the sons of
Coniucius. The defendants we're al
lowed u jury, and the testimony,
aside from that elected from The
prosecuting witness, pointed direct
ly to the fact that Dixon was the ag
gressor. a little lady of modest
manners aud youthful appearance,
whose name we omit because we
disliked to see her in Court, testified
conciusively that Dixon was the AS
saulting party. The dispute oc-
Cured about the price OF washing.
Three hearings were had, each one
resulting in the eXhoneration of the
Mongolians. on the first hearing,
the prosecuting attorney, by some
unaccountable blunder, lost the
identity of Wing Lee, the defendant,
and instead tried the Chinese inter-
prefer, from Virginia, instead. Az
ter examining all the witnesses, and
after Dixon had sworn positively
that the interpreter was the one who
struck him, the fact leaked out that
neither the prosecuting lawyer nor
the prosecuting witness had ever
seen the interpreter before, and the
case was dismissed. Such blunders
as this perpetrated by an attorney
who is acting for the county is in
excusable, and where the "dear
people have to foot the bill of ex-
penses caused by them are rightful
subjects of public criticism. There
is good reason to believe that in this
instance the prosecuting witness
should be assessed the entire costs
of trial, AS the testimony very plain
ly shows that there Is no just cause
for action. We have about as much
love for a Chinaman as we have for
an Indian, tor we believe them to be
curse to the country, but now that
they are here and protected by such
beautiful treaties as Mr.. Burlingame
has given us, the law is bound to
protect them.
