| ROYALTIES.
| Besides the concessions above named,
the list of which can be vouched for rs
being correct, there will be an income
from royalties. Ten cents per gallon
will be charged on all malt liquors

restaurants OF elsewhere. The revenue
from this, it is estimated, will be at
least $4,000

to its earnings. The receipts from this
are estimated at O,000.

Philadelphia, have laid narrow gauge
tracks around the grounds, and will run

is $40, 900.
From the telegraph service, within
and without the grounds, the messen-
ger service, guides and interpreters,
the percentage upon the gross receipts
will be at least S25 200. Concerning
this matter of the tele graph facilities
there is some dispute, which is not yet
settled.
ElELEss FISH THAT LIVE IN Hot WA
rER.-A most singular discovery was
yesterday made in the Savage mine.
This is the finding of living fish in the
water now flooding both the Savage
. and Hale and Norcross mines. The
fish found were ive in number, and
were yesterday afternoon hoisted up
the incline in the large iron hosting
! tank and dumped into the pump tank
at the bottom of the vertical shaft.
The fishes are eyeless, and are only
about three OF four inches in length.
They are blood red in color.
The temperature of the water III
which they are found is 12S de-
crees Observation-Disclosures 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 instantly
+ The cold water at once chilled THEN

In appears nee these subterraneal
y members of tie finny tribe somewha
{ resemble gold fish. They seem livel.
and spertive enough while in their ma
E tive hot water, Notwithstanding the fac
= that they have no eyes nor even the ru
y diments of eyes. The water by whicl
the mines are flooded broke in at
. depth of !, ,2OG feet in a drift that wa
being pushed to the norihward in tn

great subterranean reservoir OR lax
