Lake Tahoe. again suggests the thought
tina. no more proper place for an astron-
omic observatory can be found than the
summit Of Mount Davidson. Its close

atmosphere IL much clearer and more
free from moisture than the peaks OF

STEALING ORx.--0rders have been is-
sued prohibiting all persons except en-
ployes Of tho railroad from riding on
ore cars between Virginia and Gold Hill.
ID is said that parties have been in the
habit Of filling their lunch buckets with
pieces Of ore, and also Of throwing Cd
rich chunks along the line o! tho road
and gathering them mp afterward. Ore
yielding $4,000 per ton Is worth one
dollar per pound, and q few hundred
pounds, when reduced. would turn out
a valuable sum Of money.
