Oil in Russia.

Southern Russia threatens to be-
come rival of Pennsylvania in the
product of petroleum. The persons
who, some time ago, found oil near
the shores of the Caspian Sea are re-
ported to have turned their discovery
to profit. From one of the wells a
stream, free from gas and froth, is
forced to hight of seventy five feet,
yielding at the rate of 10000 barrels
aday. tits believed that oil abounds
in Circassia, Georgia and Astrachan,
and that, when improved methods of
drilling and pumping the wells have
been devised, oil will be got in i'm
mense quantities. Companies are al
ready forming, it is reported, at
Odessa, Novo Tchcrkosk, Astrachan
and other cities, for the purpose of
obtaining oil, and we may soon have
as many petroleum princes in Mus
covy as we once had in Pennsylvania.

THE NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT.
Children Riding Eight Miles to
School-Liberality Of the Resi-.
dents Of the District.

The public school in the new
Churchill district was opened on the
Cd of last September, and is being
conducted in very satisfactory man
ner. There are now about a score of
children in attendance, most of whom
live in the outskirts of the district,
and are therefore compelled to trav-
el from twelve to sixteen miles day,
in order to attend. At present Mr..
auckland furnishes a schoolroom at
his residence, free, as we'll as pasture
for the horses of the pupils. All the
pupils, excepting Mr.. Buckland's
children, are compelled to ride to
school. A contract was recently
signed to build a new school
house, near Mr.. Buckland's place
the site for the building having been
selected as near the center of the
district as possible. The money
to pay for this building has
all been raised by private sub
scriptions ranging from $25 to 5000.
The materials are nearly all on the
ground, and the remainder has been
ordered. The new schoolhouse will
be ready in about two weeks.

WORK STARTED UP IN THE
ST. LOUIS.
The Mine to be Developed from the
silver Hill Ground and Through
the SuccOr Shaft.

Something is at last being done to
develop the st. Louis mine. Last
Friday drift was started on the
sOO.level of the Silver Hill which
will penetrate into st. Louis ground
in about three weeks. We also hear
that arrangements are being effected
with the Succor company whereby
the st. Louis company will be per
mitted to work through the Succor
shaft. If this agreement is conclu-
ded drift will be started at once
from the 1000-level of the Succor.
This drift will reach the st. Louis
ground in less than 100 feet. About
six months ago, it will be remem-
bered, four-foot ledge of milling
ore was cut into on the 600-level of
the Silver Hill, about 100 feet north
of the st. Louis line. 1t is hoped
that this ledge will be found to have
widened and improved in grade in
depth, and in that case st. Louis
stock will prove very valuable.

THE OCEANS COLOR.
What Causes the Varying Tints on
Its Surface and in Its Depths.

At sea the color is not only q form
of beauty conveying pleasure to the
mind, but also has use, like every
thing beautiful in nature. As q rule,
light green indicates shoal water, the
lighter the tint the more shallow the
depth. The local color is ascertained
by looking down rather than on the
surface. Dark blue water is a sign
of great depth-"off sounding" as
goes the technical phrase. But if
one looks at blue water at distance,
it is then found to be a very dark
green when analysed and separated
from the reflections, which it is
sometimes very difficult to do, es-
pecially in gray, lowering weather,
when the sea is found to give the
impression of sort of leaden purple
gray. But after very careful obser-
walton through long, narrow tube,
in order that no conflicting rays of
light might disturb the vision, / am
convinced that even in the deepest
water the basal color is some tint
of green. In the Bahamas and
among coral islands in general, where
the bottom is white sand and the
water of little depth, it is found to
be of the most brilliant, exquisite
green, ranging from emerald to the
light tints of malachitc. 1t is i'm
possible to overstate the vividness of
the colors in those waters, and almost
as impossible to try to reproduce
them on canvas; for, to one who
has never seen them, the artist so
daring as to reproduce those colors
would be considered stark mad.
The red is scarcely less vivid in the
West India water, being the compile
mentary color of green, and, where
ever rock near the surface of cloud
shadow obscures the green tint, red
is Immediately produced, and even
the cloudless sky at midday is also
soft rose-color. By this means the
sponge fishermen and wreckers are
able to navigate their sloops through
the most intricate reefs, which arc in
dictated by purple patches as clearly
as on chart. The Bermudas pre-
sent similar colors. but with less
vividness.

CAPTAIN KELLY ON THE WAR.
PATH. Ci.E
He Causes the Arrest Of Super.
intendent Patton for Refusing
to Admit Him to the Ophir

Mine. tst4<l E,A
Captain John Kelly,superintendent
Of the Lady Bryan and other mines,
having been refused admission to the
Ophir NINE, last Monday-the regu-
lar monthly visiting day-he caused
the arrest of W. Fl. Patton, the su-
perintendent, under the law for the
protection Of stockholders. Captain
Kelly claims that Mr.. Patton's re-
fusal to admit him was in conse-
quence of petty spite because of his
action at the Democratic primaries,
when he assisted in electing Bradley
delegates. Mr.. Patton, on the other
hand, claims that the order of Justice
Moses, on which Captain Kelly de-
manded admission, was issued on the
10Th, and that it should have been
made on the 30th, as Captain Kelly
might have sold his stock since the
issuance of the order. The case was
called before Justice Moses yester-
day, when Mr.. Patton demurred to
the complaint and the Justice re-
served his decision until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. sllE

A SLAUGHTER OF CLOTHING.
The ROOs Brothers In the Field
With an Enormous StOck-A
Sign which Is a Work Of Art.

In these hard times it is wise to
buy where goods can be obtained the
cheapest. The information will
therefore be welcome that the Roos
Brothers, of 90 South G street, in
Virginia, have just unpacked over
100000 worth of the finest and most
stylish wearing apparel ever seen on
the Pacific Coast, and that they pro-
pose to sell these goods at bedrock
prices for the next thirty days. Con-
suit their price-list in another col
umn, and see for yourself, then 60 to
their store and be convinced. This
is chance seldom offered, and which
should be seized upon at once. Bear
in mind that you can get the pick of
this enormous stock by going now.
With the liberality characteristic Of
the firm they have had executed, in
the highest style of the art, an oil
painting representing the San Fran
cisco Stock Board in session, all the
brokers scrambling after their favor
ties in very realistic way. A view
of this painting alone will repay the
trouble of trip to their store.

His Wife, but Failed-A Divorce
to Ensue.
Mrs. T. W. Thompson, of Sutro,
has entered suit tor divorce from
her husband, 7. W. Thompson, who
is better known as Long" Thomp-
son. 1t appears that, some time ago,
Mrs. Thompson purchased some min
ing stocks which have since increased
in value until they are now worth
between $4,000 and $4,000. Her
husband has claimed half-interest
in those stocks all along, but she has
always refused to recognize his
claim. This gave rise to frequent
quarrels, until finally, one day last
week, Thompson, it is alleged, placed
a pistol to his wife's head and threat.
ened to shoot her unless she produced
the stocks.
"Shoot away" she replied; but
If you do you will hang for it, and
my daughters will get my property"
Thompson thereupon left the
house, and Mrs. Thompson hid her
self in the cellar, where she remained
two days. In the meantime, and un.
known to Thompson, she managed to
send telegraphic dispatch to Mr..
Walker, her son-in-law, at Vallejo,
Cal. The reply came:
"Myself and wife will be at Sutro
tomorrow noon."
The daughter and son-in-law ar
rived in due time, whereupon Mrs.
Thompson emerged from her place of
concealment, and Thompson fed the
town. Acting upon her children's
advice Mrs. Thompson thereupon APP
piled for divorce, Stone & Hiles
conducting her case.
Mrs. Thompson is better known to
the old residents of this county by
the name of Dressendorffer. During
the past six years she has kept a
clearinghouse at Sutro, and, al
though lone widow without other
property than her boarding house,
managed to raise her three daughters
in very respectable manner. About
two years ago she married Long"
Thompson, and has had more or less
trouble with him ever since.

AN IRASCIBLE COMMANDANT.
He Informs the Wimmen at Ball
that, If They Can't Keep Their
Mouths Shut, They Must Take
Their Friends to the AnterOOm.

IDelr FRIENDS to the AnterOOm.
1t is evident that, as the phrase
goes, "Captain Pages clothes don't
fit him." Last Saturday evening, the
Carson Guard were accorded a re-
ception, in Virginia City, by the
Washington Guard, of which Cap
tain Page is commander. Every
thing went as merry as a marriage
bell, and all present seemed to be
enjoying themselves, when, to use
another very expressive phrase, the
redoubtable capting "got a flea in
his ear" and, thinking there was
too much noise, demanded silence in
the ballroom. This command not
being instantly complied with, the
strict disciplinarian volunteered the
information, in a public way, that
he could keep his company still,
but others it seemed he could not.
This outbreak quoted matters so
that all in attendance suddenly be-
came transformed into statuary and
genuine wall ornaments. Then the
festivities went on for while, and
people were beginning to shake off
the restraint imposed by the dashing
capting's former sorties, when he
heard some subdued conversation
between some ladies-as is usually
the case at all such entertainments.
This was more than the capting could
bear. So once more bursting loose,
he informed the wimmen present
that if they could not keep still they
should "invite your friends to the
anteroom." The bold captain is still
alive.

How to Put a Stop to u Nuisance.

Many persons claiming to be la
dies and gentlemen, have acquired
the habit of leaving theater or con-
cert hall shortly before the close OF
performance, to the exceeding an.
noyance and disgust of the well-be-
haved portion of the audience. A
few arrests on a charge of disturbing
the peace would work wonders
in this respect, even though the
charge should not "stick."

much vexed at missing some important
papers which he had received relative to
