German ~TunneIIug.

The famous Rothschonberger water
adit, for draining the Freiberg mines,
has been completed after a period of
more than 80 years, and is pronounced
to be the greatest work of the kind that
has ever been undertaken to aid the
explorations OF q mining district.
This immense tunnel, as described, is
ventilated by eight air shafts, and lies
some 400 feet below the deepest Frei-
berger water adit. 1t has a uniform
height of nearly ten feet, with a one
what smaller breadth, and when COM
pleted will be, with its qualifications,
3lX miles In length. The gradient of
the floor is only 0.03 m. in 100 metres.
This small gradient may make it nec-
essary to clear the tunnel occasionally;
but this a be accomplished without
difficulty with suitable boats and
dredges. Five miles OF the tunnel are
perfectly straight, without the slightest
curve, and along the whole length the
curves are very light. The remarkable
fact also appears, that nearly the whole
driving of this vast tunnel the rock
throughout almost the entire length of
which is solid gneiss-has been done
by hand.

Valentines.

1t is safe to say that those who re-
ceived yesterday photographs of what
purported to be portraits ofthemselves
failed to recognize any likeness. The
fact is that the ST. Valentines day of
our youth has degenerated into a time
when spiteful natures seize upon the
good old custom to vent their gratui-
tous insults upon the community, and
call in the aid of the obscene caricatures
that so largely predominant at this
season OF the year, as a tit method Of
conveying their venom. In the olden
days, a love stricken youth gusiled
through the medium of the mails, and
conveyed his tender sentiments to the
object OF his alteration in the sentiment
al channel afforded him by a shilling
valentine, bat now the height of wit is
reached by the scurrilous daubs that
obtained in the stock brought to Eure-
ka. We wrote the above at the sug-
gestion of "a gentleman who found
eleven of these missives in his box
yesterday, none of them very compli.
mentary, and all giving undue prom
inence to a vivid blossom on his nose.
AS we did not get any, W. sympathiZed
with this much abused man, and
promised to show upthe senders. His
nose is the color OF a beet, hence his
indignation.

FARo's

I 1t is safe to venture the assertion that
If a person could be thoroughly con
vinced there was no chance whatever
of his winning a penny, but that he
would, to an absolute certainty, lose
every dollar lie might hazard at the
game of faro, he would forever aban-
don a habit so demoraliziDg in its re-
suits. There is no reason whatever
why a mind capable of reasoning
should not arrive at the conclusion
that, although one may enjoy tempo
rary luck at intervals, his ultimate de-
feat is as sure as bis moral nature suf-
fers depletion with the turn of every
card.
Probably the best proof of this ad-
vantage on this part of the bank was
offered by an experiment made by
eleven well known gamblers in this
city. Determined to test the chances
of the game, they established a bank
with a capital of sic, 900, placing it in
charge of one of their number, while
the remaining ten played against it
for the term of year, ach with a
stake of So, 900. AT the end of the time
specified it was found that not one Of
the ten players had a dollar of his orig
inal stake, but that the bank had all.
sorbed their entire capital.
Old gamblers declare hat any man
will beat himself at guessing in the
long un, and upon the truth of the
axiom the gamblers who run these
dens thrive at the expense of the in
fatuated men who refuse to accept it
until ruin stares them in the face.
Those who have given the subject
more attention declare that not more
than four gamblers in this country
ever amassed a competence by gaming,
unless they owned and conducted
games themselves.
The above reminds us of an expert
ment that was made in Eureka lately,
the only difference being that this was
a stock transaction. When Jack Rabbit
was incorporated and launched out on
the whirlpool of speculation, four men
in town formed a pool and took in 900
shares at s. per share. They all had
dead points-thousands of tons of ore
in sight. ranging in value from $4,000
to $4,000 a ton; mine inexhaustible,
and dividends could be paid by merely
sorting out the pure silver from the
trif1e of earth mixed with it. A big
deal was to be made, aud that stock
was bound to go to $50 in 80 days.
They watched it pretty close, and as it
dropped, took in another ! 900 shares
at 81 so, just to average. When it
struck 81 Is, they averaged again on
500 shares; their finances were too low
to buy more. and when 1T went 10 GO
cents, a panic seized them. and they
ordered it sold. They realized 70 cents,
and figured up their speculation as
costing them $3.50. II their money
and faith had held out, any N OF the
four will demonstrate TO a mathemat-
ical nicely that they could have aver
aged out at a profit; but it did not,
which leads us to observe, in the Ian
guage of the article quoted above.
''that any nan will beat himself guess
ing, in h long run; and upon the
truth of that axiom the gamblers who
run the game thrive at the expense"
etc.

Tom Andrews Bonanza.

Tom Andrews hosts of old friends
in Eureka were glad to learn some
weeks ago that he had made a rich
strike near Cherry Creek. The Enter
prise Of recent date has this further
information on the subject: 1--WE saw
a letter yesterday from Tom Andrews.
He says the papers have put up his
Ruby Hill mine at Schell Creek a little
too high. He admits, however, that
he has several tons of $4,000 ore on
his dump and a good deal in the mine
that assays from $4,000 to $50, 900 per
ton. We are glad that Tom has struck
it. He lett here almost broken hearted
last spring, but he made no complaint.
He went to Eastern Nevada and worked
as a day laborer until he got a little
stake, and then started for himself.
He is now independent, or at least on
the direct road to independence. We
are glad of it, for Tom is a brave man
and q brick,o

Their Value.

At the present quotations of the
Richmond Consolidated shares in Lon
don, the value of the mine and works
is rated at s 2,400, 900. The Eureka
Consolidated, at Wednesdays quota
tons, is valued at $1,000, 900. Taking
into consideration the fact that the re.
duction works of the Richmond Com
pany are worth at least $500, 900 more
than those of the Eureka, it will be
seen that their estimated value on the
part of the public is placed at about the
same figures. 1t is safe to predict that
in the next six months the bullion
yield of the two mines will exceed the
sum at which they are held at the
present date.

cles underneath doors, through every
available crack, and battered and
banged window-shutters and loose
boards with an energy born of the
wintry gale. Pedestrians drew their
wraps tightly around them, and hurried
on to their destinations. The saloon
stoves were we'll patronized, and hot
drinks the order of the night, while
the crowds surrounding them drew
closer to the genial fire, as they listened
to the voices of the night, the moaning
and wailing of Old Boreas outside. 1t
was the first genuine winter night OF
the season, and a reminder of the icy
blasts of former years.

Several contradictory reports are in
circulation regarding the affairs at the
Day mine. A private dispatch, re-

been suspended, although crushing
ore was going on at the mill. Another

yesterday, stated that the ore bodies
in the mine were of large proportions,

is the true state of affairs. There is a
