Says Fridays FoOtiiqht:
We are informed upon the most reliable
authority that short time after the connec-
ton between the Sutro Tunnel and the Savage
shaft mad been made, DIR. Sutro telegraphed
to Colonel Gillette, Superintendent of the
Savage mine, that he would make passage
OF the tunnel, and ne would like to ascend to
to the surface through the mine. The Colonel
answered that it would be necessary for him
to obtain permission from the President of
the mine before 80 doing, and telegraphed to
that august parsonage, who, i'll reply, refused
to give his consent. DIR. Sutro disliked to
disappoint the friends who were to accom-
pany him, he concluded to start and take
the chances of getting through Arriving at
the point of connection between the TUNNEL
and mine, he and his friends passed through
and after some little delay, up the incline and
shaft to the surface, and thence by private
conveyance back to Sutro, over the grade.
This was the realization of long, weary years
Of arduous toll and patient forbearance under
every character of abuse, and the order of
General Williams not to allow him to pass
through the Savage mine, aud the subsequent
discharge of the giraffe tender, who hoisted
them up the incline, was piece of meanness
We hardly expected from gentleman of his
standing. Mr.. Sutro exonerateS Colonel
Gillette from all blame in the matter, pro
nouncing him, as he trul y is, "a perfect gen

PYRAMID LAKE.

A correspondent of the Sacramento Record
Union describes the largest body Of water in
Nevada as follows:
Pyramid Lake itself is an object of inter
est. Lake Tahoe is the cradle of the Truckee
river. Pyramid Lake is its grave Here,
after a brief but rapid career, it sinks in
quiet slumbers. No drop finds its way to the
ocean, unless by some subterranean outlet.
There is not another body of water 40 miles
long and Is miles wide in the United States
80 little known or seen by so few as this. 1t
is much larger than Tahoe, which it resem-
bles in its enormous depth, but not in the
purity and beauty of its waters. 1t takes its
name from a number of pillar like rocks that
rise in solid columns, 800 or 400 feet in hight,
swelling out at the top into caps or heads
something of mushroom shape. They are
white in color, and exceedingly picturesque.
The dull Pluto has large reservation on
the south and east side of the lake Here.
where his barbarous ancestors have dubbed
tho jack rabbit and coyote and grown browner
in their naked 6lthiness under a sweltering
desert sun of countless years, the Great
Father has given him like privilege secure
from the encroachmeuts OF white hunters of
newspapers or OF soap.
The region is one Of great interest to the
scientists, and in all probability it will soon
be both profitable and interesting to the com
mercial and every description of traveller

From Nick Kerns, of the Surprise Valley
stage line, We learn that about sixty Indians
have gathered at Pine Valley, twelve miles
northwest of Buffalo, or one hundred miles
north Of this place The cause of this
gathering is not known. He says that he
apprehends no danger from the Indians and
believes that there will be no trouble in Sur
prise. The rumor that Ed. Session and
Theodore Blaisdell had been killed by the
Indians is entirely unfounded. Both gentle
men are alive and well.

years, measured the breadth and

the fame Of his teaching. He found

bottom Of the list; a little above
them the French Il very much
higher, the English the highest of

Average Age of Sheep.

What is the avera &c age of sheep,
and how is grub iu the head pre-.
vented p Young Farmer.
The average age OF shrep is about
ten years. Grub in the head is
caused by "A fly known as the sheep
bot fly, which deposits its eggs in
the Sleeps nostrils. As soon as the
eggs hatch, the grubs ascend the
nostrils, causing much irritation.
The most common remedy, and the
easiest one, is to smear the noses of
your sheep with tar, as tar is very
offensive TO the fly.
