BONANZA MINES 1T will be remembered
that about a year ago the proposition of
cutting up the stock of the Consolidated
Virginia mine was discussed, and there was
a strong power in favor Of taking that
course, but finally the consideration of the
question was postponed. 1t has now come
up again and is definitely decided on. The
incre ase of stock will be five of the new
shares for one of the old. The capital win
then be So, ,0o0, 900, and the dividends per
share will be paid in proportion. IF any
body wants to buy any bonanza he will
have q better chance now than when sin
gle share was worth $490.
Hale s. Norcross is to be divided up seven
for one, which will be another low priced
stock. The Consolidated Virginia is yield
ing at the rate of $1O0,oO0 per day. The
Mexican has developed not only fine pros
pect of rich ore at the south end, but also
struck good milling ore in the bottom Of
the winze, on the north line, so feet before
reaching the 1465-foot level, which looks as
if rich and continuous body of ore the full
length of the mine was going to be found.
The Sierra Nevada has just opened a
station and commenced the development of
the led ge at the 1900 foot level, point on
the lode that must be looked to with deep
interest for some time to come.--Mansng

Look Out for Mother Earth.

r
And now there is more trouble ahead for
our planet. Mr.. Andrew Wilson, who has
been writing pleasantly about the "Abode
of the Snow in Asia, revives an old the
ory Of some ancient savant that the earth
will topple over one of these days and send
the oceans sweeping over the continents.
It seems that the earth, that is, the portion
Of it which is not water, somewhat resem-
bles huge iceberg, which becoming top
heavy by the destruction of it's submerged
pats, therupon indnlges in summersault
So, Mr.. Wilson thinks, that owing to the
greater preponderance of water in the
Southern hemisphere. the greatest accumu-
lation of water is around the South Pole !;
that when the accumulation has reached a
certain point, the balance of the earth must
be suddenly destroyed the center Of
sphericity abruptly changed from the CEN
ter of gravity, and the whole earth, almost
instantaneously, win turn transversely on
its axis. move the great oceans, and SO pro-
duce one Of those grand cataclysms which
have before now altered the whole face of
the globe

Whose prayers was all for me;
And tears--weli. that's woman's way,
They works and cries you see.
I've heard the VOLTS long, lonesome whine,

That come to men in dreams
But sleep can't heal the .ugly wounds,

I've seed the eyes, I've felt the hands,
Fdknow them in the dark;
And then across these savage lands
Eve watched one glimmerin' spark.

That shined on land and sea;
Twas something brighter, sweeter far
One woman's love tor me:

The sunlight gilds the eastern track

The First Steamboat on the hudson.

The steamboat itself is romance of the
Hudson. It's birth was on it's waters,
where the rude conceptions of Evans and
Fitch on the Schuylkill and Delaware were
perfected by Fulton and his successors.
Strange is the story of its advent, growth
and achievements! Living men remember
when the idea of steam navigation was
ridiculed. They remember, too, that when
the Clermont went from New York to AL
bany without the use of sails, against wind
and tide, in thirty-tWo hours, ridicule was
changed into amazement. That voyage did
more. 1t spread terror over the surface
of the river, and created wide alarm along
its borders. The steamboat was an awful
revelation to the fishermen, the farmers and
and the villagers. Il came upon them uns
heralded. It seemed like wierd craft
from Pluto's realm-a TRANSPORTATION of
Sharon's boat into living fiend from the
internal regions. It's huge black pipe vom-
iting fire and smoke, the hoarse breath hing
OF its engine, and the great splash Of its
uncovered paddle-wheels filed the imagin-
alton with all the dark pictures of goblins
that romancers have invented since the
foundation of the world. Some thought it
was an unheard-of monster Of the sea raw
aging The fresh waters; others regarded it
as herald Of the final condagration at the
day of doom. Managers of river craft who
saw it at night believed that the great red
dragon Of the Apocalypse was loose upon
the waters. Some prayed for deIiyerance;
some fled in terror to the shore, and hid In
the recesses of the rocks, and some crouch
ed in mortal dread beneath their decks, and
abandoned their vessels and themselves to
the mercy of the winds and waves, or the
jaws Of the demon. The CIermont was the
author CT some of the most wonderful ro-
mances of the Hudson, and for years she
was the victim Of the enmity of the fisher
men, who believed that her noise and agi-
tation Of the waters would drive the she'd
and sturgeon from the river. Benson ]

strip of country twenty miles in width, ex-
tending along the north bank Of the Vel

Upon the representations embodied in
the resolutions of the Legislative Assembly
of Montana Territory and the petition of
citizens of the Territory submitted by
the Hon. NJ. Maginnis, their Delegate in
Congress, the President has revoked the
above order.
AS the country described was annexed
to the Crow Reserve solely for the purpose
of terminating the pernicious traffic in Ii
quor, carried on with the Indians, and the
Department. is satisfied of the desire on the
part of the citizens of Montana to assist in
its suppression, beg to suggest that the
Legislative Assembly will cooperate with
this Department by enacting such prohib-
itory laws as may best subserve this pur-
pose. am, sir,

the receipt Of your letter of March 8,
1876, conveying the gratifying information
that the President had revoked the Execu-
tive order, dated October 20, 1876, setting
apart strip of country on the north side
of the Yellowstone river, in Montana Ter.
ritory, for the use of the Grow Indians.
I can assure the Department that the
people of Montana are as anxious as any
people can be to suppress the pernicious
traffic of liquor with Indians. The Legis-
lative Assembly of Montana, at it's first
session, in 1866, enacted stringent law to
prohibit the sale or giving of liquor to In
dians (See Codifed Statutes, .. 3O3. s 145),
which is now in force.
| desire, on behalf of the people of Mon
tana, to thank the President and your De-
partment for the action taken in the revo-
cation Of said order.
I am, with high regard,
Yoursob't, sery't
