Hhf MateT FISH.

The following fish story comes from the
mining regions of the west, and Is told
in the Territorial. 1t is about most
singular discovery, as the editor truly
saws. that was made in the mines called
the Savage, Hale and NOrcrOss
Living fish were found in water that
is now flooding those mines. The fish
fOuSd were five in number, and we re
hoisted up the incline in the large iron
hoisting tank and dumped into the pump
tank at the bottom of the vertical shaft.
The fish are eyeless, and are only about
three or four inches in length. They are
blood red in color.
The temperature of the water in which
they are found is one hundred and TWEEN
tv-eight degrees Fahrenheit-almOst
scalding hot, When the fish were taken
out of the hot water in which they were
found, and placed in a bucket Of cold
water, for the purpose of being brought
to the surface, they died almost instant
ly. The cold water at once chilled then
life blood.
In appearance these suhterranear
members of the finny tribe somewhat re.
semble gold fish. They seem lively anC
sportive enough while in their native hot
water, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have no eyes nor even the rudiments o.
eyes. The water by which the mines are
flooded broke in at depth of twenty

age. 1t rose in the mine-alsO in thu

connected-to the height of four hun
dred feet; that is, up to the eighteeI

prove that a great subterranean reser

this lake, doubtless, came the fish hoistet
