A gentleman who has Travelled for years
through the various mining camp, of the
world has this to say Of Nevada, through
the columns Of the New York Graphic:
"One of the most important features Of
the mining business of Nevada is the re-
suscitation OF old abandoned mining dis
tricts-districts which were abandoned ten
or twelve years ago in consequence of the
inexperience, lack of capital or want of
perseverance OF the part Of those who I'M
dertook to exploit them. Now, AZ a gen.
eral rule, our people are becoming edu-
Gated as a mining community and our APP
pliances for extracting and refining ore
are something really wonderful. Again,
the facilities now afforded for getting sup
plies to the distant mining camps by rail-
roads have aided in bringing about this re-
suscitation. aud the knowledge now ac-
quired Of methods for reducing low grade
ores 40 as to make them profitable has
been a powerful factor in the result. To-
day mining has become a business, just as
agriculture and manufacturing are. II
the mines OF Nevada were to cease being
worked for three years, the effect of the
stoppage Of their product would be felt as
q serious disaster al over the country"

Once there was a mule. 1t had a pair of
timber legs with heels on the end of them.
Mule thought his master did not give him
enough to eat. So n day as the boss was
passing behind him he lifted up his heels
and boosted him to the other side of the
barn. This was What Mr.. Mule called q
strike. He thought he could get all the
corn he wanted now. Presently he wanted
water. He din't get it though. He var ted
corn. He didn't get that either. He went
to bed that night without his supper. Next
day he didn't have to go to work. He
didn't have to eat either. All he had to do
was to stand and think. He couldn't
imagine why that master of his didn't
come to feed him. The next day was the
same. and the next. Before that mule got
anything to eat again he had grown so
gannt md gentle that he was willing to
keep his heels On the ground. The strike
had ended.

This town now has q population of about
4,00l, and is the commercial centre Of the
Black Hills region. It has rude theatres,
dance houses, gambling hells, and In
counted bar-rooms ; yet q recent visitor
says there is far less rufianism than might
fairly be expected in a new mining place.
There are banks. churches, a school-house,
newspapers, and good hotels. Many law
yers get a good income out of the extensive
litigation over the titles to mines. Dead
wood is in IN irregular gulch. has already
ontgrown its space. and begins to climb
the p~recipitous sides of the hills by which
it is enclosed. White cottages, approached
by winding paths and steps, stand hum
dreds of feet above the level of the town.
Under Deadwood proper there is another
city-the city of the miners. Openings to
the tunnels and shafte are seen at various
places throughout the upper town. In the
tunnels and shafts the placer miner digs
out the yellow earth, and sluices it for the
crumbs Of gold that, during the long ages,
have been slowly escaping from the quartz
lodes in the hills. But capitalists have
taken hold Of the mining business of the
Black Hills. and many quartz mills Of the
best class are running.

The Austin Rereilie gets off the follow

cratic house. and don't keep anything but
whisky straight. and you'll take whisky
straight or nothing" There was blood in
the proprietor's eye, and as he reached his
hand under the counter. and the politician
heard the click of the hammer Of a self
cocker. he mildly asked to be excused. and
said he guessed he would take q little
whisky straight. Aud he gulped his dose
of lightning down without a murmur-and
all was quiet on the Potomac.

cused of rafting out tons of gold from a
pile Of old iron and a one-horse furnace at
the foot of the Sierras, that we had almost
tract, which we clip from an exchange,
shows that some of '.our daddies" amused
themselves in that way occasionally {:
Charles Mantelmau, a Suabian by birth,
simply bored holes in Jumps Of coal, filled
these holes with gold. closed them up with
black wax. and threw these Jumps into a
crucible when the masses were in full fu-
sion. He was detected, however, and
cruelty beheadfd and quartered at Regens-
burg about 1910. Another worthy, one
George Honaner, met with a similar sad
fate a few years after, at Stuttgart, where
he was hanged. This ingenious gentleman
always travelled with a chest. with a double
bottom to it, concealing his own son, a
sharp lad of about ten, who used to come
out from his hiding place at night
and put the gold into the crucible, in
which the mas was in fusion over the lab
oratory fire. Honauer pretended that il
was indispensable to leave the mass a few
hours to itself, and the laboratory was
therefore always carefully locked up for
the night. The poor boy on one occasion
caught a cold in the head, and his ire
pressible sneezes led to the detection of the
trick. Another, aSwiss adept, used to stir
the fused mass with sticks Of wood deity
bored at one end and filled with gold,
which readily dropped into the mass. A
servant of his always managed 10 put a
few of these so prepared sticks upon the
bundle of wood which his master used to
stir the mixture with. This trick was also
detected in the end and visited with con-
disn punishment.
