Professor Taylor, ct the request Of :
number Of citisens who have not been able
TO attend his performances heretofore. hes
consented to remain one more night, and
will make his appearance for the last time
this evening, and those who have not wit
messed his remarkable tricks. should inn
prove this last opportunity. An attractive
feature Of the Professors entertainment Is
the distribution Of . number Of valuable
presents. A lady's handsome gold watch
was drawn last night by Charley Grimm.
and tonight q Wheeler h Wilson sewing

MARYLAND TUNNEL COMPANY.
It's Prospects. Location, Ese.-A val.
unble Property.

uable Property.
OF new mining enterprise in this Sec
ton. our Ruby Hill contemporary has the
following: This company was incorporated
on the 18th Of last October, with the fol-
lowing officers: J. D. West, President /;
James T. Brady, Vice President; J. H. De
La Matyr, Treasurer q. n. De La Masyr,
Secretary. The capital stock consists of
100, 900 shares, Of the par value Of 500
each. The property is situated on the east
side Of Prospect Mountain, at the head Of
New York canyon, and lie 1 800 feet wide BY
5000 feet in length. Though the property
is yet in its infancy. enough work has al
ready been lone to prove beyond q doubt
that it will develop one Of the richest por-
tons Of the great mineral belt which runs
through this section. The tunnel will run
square through the mountain, in q westerly
direction, and when the high peak, /, ZOO
feet ahead, is reached. will have a depth Of
1,200 feet. 1t is on the same lode as the
rich Eureka Con. and Richmond mines,
which are and have been for years yielding
such immense quantities Of the precious
metal.
CLAIMS OWNED By THE COMPANY.
]. B. Pugh, Lady Caroline, Belle Ruth,
Maryland, Lady Elgin, Bali, Frederick,
Cecil. and Mountain Top, on several Of
which considerable work has been done,
and very rich assays obtained. The crop
pings rise high up in many places and ledge
matter is frequently encountered only .
few feet from tho surface.
MINES IT WILL TAP.
On the line OF this tunnel, . little to the
north, is the Kit Carson, which has yielded
o large quantity Of very rich ore; Pay
Down, on which considerable work has
been lone and the showing very satisfac-
tory; Banner. also rich and thousands Of
dollars already extracted; Fourth Of Jnly
has proven its permanency by the quantity
and quality of ore which has been reduced.
and many others Of lesser note.
LEDGEs.
The first ledge will be struck inside Of
200 feet, though not much is expected from
this one, unless q shaft is SUM upon il.
The next crops out on the hill above, and
. shaft only . few feet in depth opened up
an immense body OF ledge matter. From
every indication when the tunnel reaches
this point 400 feet in) q large ledge will
be struck which will pay all expenses Of
further developing the same. There has
been more or less work done on the other
| claims mentioned. and all show continuous
mineral ground for over 800 feet.
The route of the tunnel is through one
OF tho richest portions Of this district. and

piece Of property. The rich mines all
around 1t show conclusively that the loca-
tors had an eye to permanence when they
relocated the present site, and it Is the COZ
fdent opinion Of all acquainted with the
property. that it is one Of the best in the
camp. Active operations have been com
menced by the putting at work Of two
shifts, and the tunnel will be driven ahead
as rapidly as possible. A building is nov
going up for the accommodation Of thu
miners.

Some Astenishing Statistics THAT
will Surprise the URinitlNted.
Roast beef, mutton, pork. etc., are arti-
Giles that are not included in the category
Of Christmas gifts. yet IL is questionable II
any Of the numerous stores on Main street
attracted % much attention on Christmas
day IS did the Union market. with its inn
mense display Of meats. In no Eastern
city, no. sven In Fulton market. New York,
noted for Its immense quantities Of every
thing calculated to excite and appease the
craving Of the inner man, did ever one
man or firm make such an exhibition ~
did Augustus Cazaux On Christmas day.
Ninety-six beeves, averaging 900 pounds
each. selected with great care from the
large herds OF Wells 4 Hathaway, in Ante
lope and Monitor valleys, were arranged in
such manner ~ to attract the eye and tempt
the appetite. Ono hundred and sixty-one
head Of sheep, brought at great expense
from Reese River, and stall-fed expressly
for this market, greeted the eye OF the
lover Of mutton Is calves, sufficient
to provide the town with outlets, and Is
porkers. whose weight ranged from 800 to
300 pounds, were hung in reckless profu-
sion around the immense stalls. To pre-
pare this meat for the market required the
work Of six men for an equal number Of
days. 1t was done under the supervision
Of Mr.. H. J. Toomey, who for two years
has been foreman Of Mr.. Cazaux's estab-
lishment, and whose energy and ability is
universally recognized. In addition to the
two 2-horse teams regularly employed by
the market. Mr.. Eggleston's two 4-horse
trucks were hired to convey the meat from
the slaughter house to the market. The
work Of dressing the market commenced
early on the 23d and was not finished un-
til about 4 O'Clock on Christmas morning,
and when the usual throng appeared on
Main street il was greeted with such :
sight in the meat line as never before mel
their optical vision. To add to Augustuei
triumph. his wife presented him with !
bouncing boy OF Christmas day. He sayal
it is equal TO tour aces and : king, and wagers
that he can beat any man on the Base
Range, and we are not inclined to dispute
the assertion.

On Christmas night many persons who
attended the performance Of the Amateurs,
and who held checks for reserved seats.
were surprised upon their arrival at the
hall to End them occupied by parties who
held duplicate checks. This was owing to
the fact that many seats were sold on the
street, and no notification given at the
Office. Mr.. Bartlett has wisely determined
that this shall not again occur, and here
after no checks for reserved seats will be
honored that have not been purchased ct
the box-onice. and such unpleasant little
episodes as those which occurred on the
occasion mentioned will thus DO avoided.

A Hard Test,

Ten or a dozen men were enjoying
the hot weather which baked the shin
giles on ferry dock saloon yesterday
when stranger stalked in and inquired
of the bartender:
Have you any mintp"
Eyes, sir" was the reply.
"And you have sugar, lemons, gin,
brandy, and so forthP'
81 have"
The stranger turned around to the
crowd, noted the sudden inUreaoe of in
terest in each face, and kindly said:
Gentlemen, I'm going to treat every
liar in this room. Let the liars-the
monstrous liars-come forward"
Not a foot moved.
Gentlemen" continued the stranger,
in a plaintive tone, "don't be back
ward. Juleps wait for all. Every one
of you who is known for liar will
please stand up"
Not a man stood. The stranger s
face betrayed keen disappointment, as
he ordered n rousing big mint for
himself, and not word was spoken in
the place while he slowly slipped the
cooling liquid through a straw. When
he had finished, he wiped off his mouth
end said:
"Well, every truth-teller in the
crowd will now stand up"
Each man rose with the promptness
of soldier.
And sit down again" softly said
the man, as he made for the door.
They would have sat down on him,
but great truth-tellers are poorrunners.

Poisoning by Burning Gas.

To have our rooms pleasantly illu-
minated with gas is to undergo proc
ess of poisoning, the more disastrous
because, instead of directly producing
the characteristic symptoms of defect
i've blood oxygenatiOn, the gas-polluted
atmosphere insidiously lowers the tone
of vitality and establishes a condition
favorable to disease. 1t would be diff
cult to overrate the importance of this
household peril. Pictures are spoiled
by gas, gilt holdings are tarnished, the
colors of decorated walls and ceilings
fade, and men and women of delicate
organization are enfeebled and injured
by the foul air in which gas is dis
charged and supposed to burn innocu-
ously. The extent TO which this evil
works in the midst of domesticated
families during the long evenings is not
adequately appreciated. After the first
few unpleasant experiences are over,
the physical insensibilities become in
ured to the immediate results of breath
ing an atmosphere charged more or
less heavily with the products of com
bustion and unconsumed coal gas. 1t
is not creditable to the ingenuity OF
practical men that no method has yet
been devised by which the advantages
of gas as an Illuminating agent may be
secured without the drawback of slow
poisoning, with the host of maladies a
depressed vitality is sure 10 bring in its
