CoAL.--A specimen Of the coal now
being taken from the Pittsburg coal
mine in Palmyra district, this county,
has been sent US and can be seen at

the coal which it is now producing
as one of the prominent interests of
Lyon County. The mine is being
Systematically developed, and will
prove an important fuel storehouse
for the county and big find for the
discoverers.

WE ONCE knew O man who COM
mitted suicide for the strange
reason that he had discovered him
self to be his own grandfather.
His dying statement was as follows;
"I married widow who had q
grown up daughter; my father
visited our house very often, fell
in love with my stepdaughter and
married her; 80 my father became
my son-in-law, and my stepdaugh-
ter my mother, because she was my
fathers wife. Some time after
wards my wife gave birth to son,
he was my fathers brother-in-law,
and my uncle, for he was the bro
Their of my stepmother; my fathers
wife-that is, my stepdaughter-
had also a son; he was, of course,
my brother, and also my grand
child, for he was the son of my
daughter; my wife was my grand
mother, because she was my mo-
Tiers mother l was my wife's
husband and the grandchild at the
same time; and as the husband OF
persons grandmother is his
grandfather, 1 was my own grand
father" After this logical con-
clusion, we were not surprised that
the unfortunate man should have
taken refuge in oblivion. Should
any of our readers be similarly
situated, we would advise them TO
call at once on our friend Gowen,
and indulge in one of his superb
Havanas-through the clear blue
smoke of which they can see their
road though almost any entangle-
ment, and go on their way re-
joicing.

MAN TRAPs.--We feel it our duty
to call the attention of the proper
legal authorities and of the people in
general to the many uncovered min
ing shafts and prospect holes to be
found all over the hills surrounding
the town. The old abandoned shafts
are just SO many dangerous traps
laid for the taking OF human life,
and measures should at once be
taken to have them covered or filled
up. Now THAT winter is approaching
this precaution is made the more
necessary, as many Of these holes
are annually covered beyond recog-
milton by the drifting snow, which
forms a treacherous covering and
renders them doubly dangerous to
pedestrians. Falling into an eighty
foot shaft, without preliminary pre-
psrations, would very likely wind
up all earthly affairs for the average
pedestrian, and 1t is to prevent as far
as possible such calamities that we
call attention to these man-traps and
urge the necessity Of their being
placed beyond the possibility Of
doing evil. We believe there is .
law compelling mine owners and
proprietors to cover their shafts. If
there Is not such law, our legisla-
tors have neglected an important OPP
portunity of doing great good for
their constituents. and should en-
brace the first occasion to pass sucn
a statute. Between town and the
Buckeye and Vivian mines, close
to the trail, are some four or five
open shafts that are particularly
dangerous to those unacquainted
with their location. The trails to
those mines are much travelled at
night by the miners, and the old
shafts should be covered up i,nme
diatsly. We hope something may
be done in this matter, either by the
county or by private philanthropists.

STRIKE IN THE VIvIAN.-Among
other mines that will not be affected
by the Bank failure and the general
fiattcning-out of the stock market, is
the Vivian mine. The regular force
of forty men are kept steadily at
work, and the ore wagons are con-
stantly hauling pay rock to the Ex-
cclsior mill, which is at present just
able to keep the dump clear. A
great dea. more rock could be taken
out if desired, but only sufficient to
keep the mill running is now got out,
on account Of the rapid and extern
sivc developments being carried on
by Superintendent Tangye. An i'm
portant strike of gold sulphurets was
last week made in the north level of
the mine. The stringer referred to is
about one inch in width, dark brown
in color, very much dccomposed, and
is thickly sprinkled with " -four" and
"dot" gold. A ton of rock like the
specimen we now have before US
would be worth nearly $4,000 in
coin. The stringer is so far traceable
about sixty feet and preserves a uni
form width and richness. Should it
continue through the lead, as it now
very fairly promises to do, the value
of the ore hereafter extracted will be
enhanced fully two hundred per cent.
The hosting engine, which is located
in the tunnel. five hundred feet from
its entrance and an equal distance
from the surface of the lead, is work.
ing very satisfactorily under the skill
full engineering of Mr.. Ed: Mayo,
and is proving itself giant in the
work Of development. We are
pleased to have the assurance that
the mine will not be affected by the
crash, and that full force of hands
will be kept employed.

Gigantic Pension Frauds.

During the last two or three weeks the
officers OF the Pension Bureau have been
making Investigations into series of
gigantic frauds In the pension service,
which in the city of Philadelphia alone
are believed to involve millions of
dollars. 1t seems that three or four So
called legal firms In that city have been
the Instruments whether Intentionally
or the contrary does not appear-of
fraudulently obtaining large amounts OF
money from the Treasury upon bogus
pension claims. The evidence of their
completely in the frauds, however, is so
strong that the department has ordered
their suspension as practicing claim
agents before it, and In future the Gov
eminent will not have any business trans
actions whatever with them. The
amount of money of which the Govern
ment has been swindled is estimated at
between SIS, 900 and 81, 900, 600, but
there are no data In the Pension Office
by which the exact sum can be deter
| mined. When, ten or twelve days ago,
the suspicion arose, all the claims of the
Philadelphia pensioners were suspended,
and orders were issued TO pay no claim
whatever without orders from this city.
Since then large force of clerks has
been employed investigating every case,
and those which have been found to be
correct nave been ordered 20 be paid.
The department. has reason to believe
that frauds of similar character have
been perpetrated in several other States,
notably in Illinois, as recently tele-
graphed to the World, against the pen
sion agents, of which grave charges have
been preferred. It is the intention of
the bureau to make thorough examina-
ton Of the pension list in every State
NeW York World. ..U

The Centennial.

DR.. Holland writes as follows in Serb
ner for January: There is still an
other reason for hopefulness. The ma
ton is to be brought together as it has
never been brought before during it's
history. In one hundred years of in
tense industry and marvellous develop
ment, we have grown from few feeble
colonies to a powerful nation of more
than forty millions of people. We have
been SO busy that we never have been
able to look one another in the face, ex-
cept during four terrible years Of civil
war. In friendly way, for brotherly
cOurtesies, we have never conae together.
Well. that which divided us is gone
We are now all members of eonsoh-
dated nationality, and this year, around
the old family altar at Philadelphia, we
expect to meet and embrace as brothers.
We are profoundly hopeful that this year
is to do much to cast into forgetfulness
the bitterness engendered by the civil
war, and to make the nation as united
and sympathetic in feeling as it is in the
political fact. Of one thing we are GER
tain, if the South comes to the Centen-
NAL, it will receive such welcome as
will be accorded to no guests from any
other part of the world. The glories of
the old Declaration are part of their in
heritance, and without themv our festi-
walls would be but mockery. They are
the guests without whom there would
be bitterness in our breast, sourness in
our wine, and insignifcance ia our re
