FROM ANTELOPE.

EDITORS SENTINEL: l write you .
few lines from this, Antelope District,
to let you and the public know what
We are doing here. The Silver Brick
mine has a shaft down to the depth of
100 feet, with a station opened out and
drifted from a distance of thirty feet
through a solid body Of ore from the
west to the a wall, and 1t is possible
that we may have to continue drifting
for u distance Of $50 feet further before
we strike the east wall, aud the chances
are that the ore Will continue all the
way through to the hanging wall.
There are 1000 tons of ore on the
dump ready for milling, which will
average about 800 per ton.
The Hemlock mine Is also being
developed in a very satisfactory man
ner to its owners. The ore is not quite
so rich as the Silver Brick, but will
average about S75 per ton. This COM
pany has very flattering prospects, and
is called the Consolidated Silver Min
ing Company; they have the Silver
Brick, Heinlock and Young America.
With q mining force Of 100 men they
can take out 500 tons OF ore per day,
and there Is ore enough in sight to run
u 30 stamp mill for two years. The
ground Is being graded for q mill
site, and 1t is thought the mill will be
running by the first or middle Of
June. The machinery has all been or
dered in San Francisco, and some OF
it has already been shipped. The
stock of the company will be put upon
the San Francisco Stock Board during
the coming week. This is bound to
be a fourishing camp during the CON-
ing summer. w. II.

to the vessel. Presently a boat was
landed from the ship. Then the
shrieks of women and children were
heard. The passengers we're handed
down one by one sFsin the bow Of the
steamer to the boat. Coming toward
the shore the current setting around
the headland was found very strong.
The BOAT was borne OH the breast of a
huge billow and dashed violently
against the rock. The eam of the
women as the boat struck was awful to
hear. All supposed the boat party
was lost, but the little craft drifted back
from shore a few moments until it was
finally flung high and dry from the
crest of a wave on top of a high, broad
and solitary cliff. Meantime a buoy
had been attached to the line and sent
to the ships side. The women were
secured, placed in the buoy and safely
hauled ashore by the strong-armed
coast guardians. Other boats put off
from the steamer and in a compara.
lively short time all had been landed,
the captain and a few officers and sea-
men remaining. With the coming of
daylight, the mist which had envel-
oped the steamer cleared away and
another larger steamship was observed
passing close at hand. Rockets were at
once set off from the Dakota, warning
her off the coast, and thus probably
avoiding another disaster. The Dakota
and cargo are heavily insured in Liv.
erpool and London. The ship is val.
ued at 500, 900.

superintendent brakes Annual Re.
port to the London Shareholders.
The report of Captain Frank Drake,
circulated among the shareholders,
says the London Mining Journal, states
that the past year has been to the com.
pany one Of continued prosperity, and
few mining companies have so prom.
Using a future. The ore extracted dur
ing 1876 vas 9,32S tons of IS cwts., and
the total cos was $l13, 4O9A, or abou,
$l2T per ton. The ore seam or body
extending from the Baxter chamber,
the discovery of which was cabled you
on January 3, lies between the first and
second levels, and passes on east near
the central shaft. They have drifted
upon it so IT,, and still are following il
eastward. At times it has looked very
promising, ut present 1t is quite narrow,
and not of sc good a quality as that
passed through a few weeks since.
Consequently, with this section OF
ground SO little developed, what they
may properly call reserves of ore in
the mines at the present time are very
limited. The air-compressing machin.
cry and rock-drills ordered OF Mr.. j.. q.
CranstAn, Newcastle. on Tyne, did not
arrive upon the ground till October 2.
The erection of the machinery occu-
pied some two weeks, and the drills
not fairly running before October 20.
After a little practice by the men in
working the drills a good degree Of
progress was attained. The general
character of the ground through which
they have passed is firm, hard lime
rock, but it generally blasts well, and
only an occasional set Of timbers is re-
quired. The size of the tunnel exca-
vatioD is 7 #. by 8 IT,; the length Of
tunnel completed December 81 was
525 f.; February q, sos It. Cost of

S29H. In conclusion he states that no
mine was ever opened and its hidden
treasures made available without, on
the the part Of its owners, a good de-
gree of faith. His belief in the future
wealth Ofthese mines is now certainly
in a promising line of promotion to q
demonstrated reality. He alludes to
these common facts in the business Of
mining az a stimulus to the patience of
all interested while the deep explora
tons are progressing, and till their
strong hopes are fully realized.

sUrRO,s

A nice point, affecting the franchise
Of the Sutro Tunnel Company, ia raised
by the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States ON the bull
ion tax question. The Court holds
that the ''ores, after they are extracted,
are absolutely the property Of the
miner, and the United States has nc
control owe Them" Under this state
Of affairs, we would like to know how
the law Of Congress is to be upheld
giving any portion of them toa third
party. As we'll might the Congress
have said that MI. Sutro should have
two bushels out OF every ton of barley
raised on the Carson river. Ore, &C
cordipg to the Supreme Court, is as
much private property as barley, and
Congress has no more power over one
than 1t has over the other. The
Federal Constitution Is also emphatic
on the point, that private prop
erty shall not b taken for public
use without due compensation there
for. Mr.. Sutro may be able to COL
lect his royalty of two dollars per ton
from such OF the mines as have &C.
copied United States patents subject to
the terms OF his franchise; but In the
light of the late decision We would not
give him much for his chances, as
against mines, the title to which is still
In the Government. Most of the
mines on the Comstock, including the
bOnanzas, have W been patented.
In this connection 1t may be stated
that the tunnel is not being pushed as
vigorously at present as in times past.
During last month 1t only made 225
feet. It lacks 5000 feet CT completion.
which at the above rate will require
something like q year to put 1t through
to the great lode.

THE THEORY Of EVOLUTION.

Sir Wyville Thomson said, in q lee
lure to the natural history class at
Edinburg University, that the great
stumbling block, from the natural his
tory side Of the question, in the way of
an acceptance Of the evolution hypo.
thesis, was, that any such passage
from one species to another is entirely
outside our experience. The horse
has evidently been the horse since the
earliest hieroglyphs were engraved
upon Assyrian monuments and tombs
and the same held for all living crea-
lures. There was not . shadow of
evidence OF one species having passed
into another during the period of hu.
man record of tradition. Nor is this all.
We have, in the fossil remains con-
tanned in rocks, . sculptured record Of
the inhabitants Of this world, running
back intellectually further than the
earliest chisel. mark inscribed by man
intellectually further than mans ex-
istence on this planet; and, although
we find from the record that thou
sands of species have passed away,
and thousands have appeared, In no
single case have we yet found the
series Of transitional forms impercepti.
bly, gliding into one and other, and
uniting two clearly distinct species by
a continuous bridge, which could be
cited as an undoubted instance Of the
origin of q species. Mr.. Darwin's
magnificent theory of natural selec-
ton " and ~"survival of the ittest has
undoubtedly shaken the veil by point.
ing out q path by which such an end
might he attained; but It has by no
means raised it. Still, even II we
never found out the precise mode
in which one species gave rise to an
other, there could be no further hest
tation In accepting generally a hypothe-
sis Of evolution.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Fall Care of Stock.

There is no question and no manner of doubt
about the fact that young animals of every va
riety must be kept in one uniform, thriving
condition, if moHey is to be made by raising
them. They must be watched, so that when
ever there is tn slightest check to growth and
the comedy appearance of the flock or the herd,
they can be moved to some better pasture or
have some immediate stimulation by giving
food of a more strengthening quality. This is
season of the year requiring more than ordi-
nary care, and early every cold morning some
thing should be given to any colts, calves or
lambs which have not extra good grass or food
of some kind.
1t is not necessary to begin stabline at night
because of moderate cold, for if the stomachs
of animals are full of good food the cold air is
not disagreeable, and nature provides longer
hair to assist in keeping them warm. Some
people will be foolishly particular about shelter
but there is a medium, and if they will feed
well out in the fields while the ground is dry,
all kinds of young stock will be better for the
gradual way in which they become accustomed
to winter weather. Then, when severe storms
come on, and they are put into winter quarters
they will escape the ordeal of the sudden
change to dry food, because they have been
brought regularly to it by the morning feed
land perhaps evening feed too) after grass be-
comes short. Grass ought not to be grazed so
long as to weaken the roots, and to prevent
it when any one is heavily stocked, or the grass
goes off through droutb, feed should be given
twice per day.
1t is this attention to young stock, sheep,
&C., in England which makes the tenant farm
ers SO successful and causes the extra mutton
and wool; and 1t is the false economy in the
United States of Outstanding" as it is called,
The best food, and keeping the cattle and sheep
short, in consequence of which they so lose
flesh that farmers are afraid of the winter, and
they sink money instead of gaining. When
young animals are brought in they should not
be closely shut up. There should be good ven.
tilation; and in the day time, especially from
10 a. m. Tor earlier when mildly till 8 or p. M,
they should be out of their night quarters. and
lie in an open yard having shed that they can
go under at pleasure. In fact, all varieties OF
stock should have this healthful daily airing,
and at noon it will be found that any coarse
fodder will be eaten with a relish in the open
air which they would not touch in their stalls.
