A LODGING-IuOUsE SENSATION.
Hell Hath no Fury Like n woman
That has been shook.

There was a genuine sensation in a
certain Eureka clearinghouse Tuesday
evening last, the locality of which said
hosiery we will leave for our readers
TO locate according to their own fancy.
Ii was not heightened by any means,
but it was the dwelling-place of a
happy couple who lived together in
peace and amity, and sailed along
under the title of man and wife. The
current of their lives flowed on AMIGA
bly,, and there was nothing to disturb
or ripple the surface of the matrimo.
NAL joys until the evening in question,
when an incident occurred that ruffled
the serenity of their pleasures. There
was another female, who r~ejoices i'll
the name of Jennie, and who doesn't
believe that it is better to have loved
and lost, than never to have loved at
all. Ia the long ago she bestowed her
affections on the male biped who
figures in this item, and she says that
the bright dreams of the past-with
her-uever fade. But with the fellow
the thing ran the other way, and when
he got mashed on "a fresh girl, he
thought it no wrong to be off with the
Old love and on with the new. Conse-
quently, he shook Jennie and the Com
stock, and hand in hand with his new
darling, hied away to Eureka, and
since his arrival the cards ran his way,
and there was peace and plenty in his
habitation, and Strawberries for desert
at the restaurant where he boarded
charged as extras and promptly settled
for. Jennie cOnsoled herself for
the desertion as best she could,
thinking that absence would lift
the shadow from her soul, but it
didn't. The gangrene only grew
more rancid, and when she accident
ally learned of the false ones where
abouts, she packed her pie box and
started for the Base Range. On her
arrival she learned the location of the
couples abiding place, and the mum
Der of their room. Then she armed
herself with four-prOnged hair-pins, a
miners candlestick, alligator boots,
rawhides and a dagger, and in all the
majesty of "A woman's wrath, sought
out her hated rival. She came, she
saw, and she threatened threats.
She swore she would make a double.

her love, by erecting an additional one
on her, that she would ornament it
with a tin ear, and scratch, bite and
bruise her in divers and sundry ways,
and otherwise mutilate her. Alas! it
was mere words, and while the storm
ragged and the other occupants of the
house were enjoying the scene, and
taking il all in, the burly landlord put
in an appearance and bounced her
without Then she fled to a
lower level dive and drowned her sor-
rows in copious drafts of bug juice,
and was finally laid away in her little
bed, dead, dead-drunk, aud so ended
the episode, a happening that at one
time promised blood and gore, but
which came 10 the above stated lame
and impotent conclusion. The dis
turbed pair have hied away to fields
and pastures new, and Jane has re-
turned to her old stamping ground a
no wiser but much madder girl than
when she made her entree into Eu-
reka.

In the process of smelling lead ores,
a great deal of the metal escapes in the
form of smoke or lead fumes, as il is
more properly termed. The Joplin
NeUS, published al THE Missouri mines,
says: 1t has been known for years
that a large per cent. of the metal was
thus lost by its being sublimized and
passing off into space. The White
Lead Company was organized for the
purpose of catching this smoke, and
by passing it thoughan almost endless
line of pipes of sheet iron and wooden
bags, condense it,. The result was
that after an outlay of many thousand
dollars and a years experimenting
they have succeeded in cOndensing
the smoke or lead fumes into metallic
lead, the same as steam is converted
into water. The product of the fumes
is a blush, impalpable powder, which
makes a splendid blue paint, pro-
nounced equal to the corrOded article.
For the purpose of making it white
several furnaces were built, and the
blue product, with the aid of an i'm
mense heat, is again changed into lead
fumes, which are again condensed and
come out pure white lead. In the
transforming of the blue lead into
fumes, considerable pig lead is made.
The object is to sublimize it all, but
the heat is not powerful enough to do

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American people
are to-day dying from the effects of dyspepsia
or disordered liver. The result of these d.
seases upon the masses of intelligent and val
liable people is most alarming, making life
actually a burden instead of a pleasant exist
ence of enjoyment and usefulness. as it ought
to be. There is no good reason for this, if
you will only throw aside prejudice and skep-
ticism, take the advice of druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle of Greens August
Flower" Your speedy relief is certain.
Millions of bottles of this medicine have been
given away to try its virtues, with ~satisfac-
tory results in every case. You can buy a
sample bottle for ten cents, to try. Three
doses viii relieve the worst case. Positively

An Evenings Experience with
Plundering Road Agents.

hhouh asGEhtSs
A half a dozen Mormon teams were
in town on Friday last, and in CONVEX
learned of quite an exciting incident
experienced by them a couple of days
before reaching Eureka. They had
concluded their days drive, gone into
camp, and had just finished supper,
when three mounted men rode up to
the fire. They dismounted, and pull
ing out three very wicked looking
revolvers, requested a surrender of all
the valuables possessed by the party.
The teamsiers assured the highway
men that there was nothing in the
crowd beyond a few dollars kept by
them for emergencies; but their as
surances did not satisfy the robbers,
and they demanded the coin received
from the sale of a portion of the load
at Typo. The Mormons responded by
producing receipts from Wells, Fargo
& Cos Agent, showing that they had
shipped to Utah, through that agency,
the results of their barter. The proof
was convincing, and the road agents
had to content themselves with a con-
tribution of 81, and a silver watch,
possessed by one of the drivers and
valued at $40. Having secured this
paltry booty, and bestowed a hearty
cursing upon the campers for their
%precaution and poverty, they rode of
into the twilight and disappeared. The
Mormons made no attempt to follow
them or retrieve the plumber, being
very we'll satisfied at having escaped
so cheaply.

The Grant Nine.

Major Mccoy is extracting some ex-
celleut ore from the Grant mine, Min
eral Hill, at a point 1876 feet from the
surface. A large quantity is already
on the dump, and the richer portion of
the yield, which goes up in the hun
dredS, is sold to the Salt Lake buyers,
and shipped TO Utah. The surface de-
posits at the Grant were distinguished
for the unusual amount of antlnony
contained in the ore, but a. depth was
reached this popularity disappeared,
and the product at the present time
contains scarcely a trace of this unde-
sirable metal. The Major has a fine
property in the above mine, and one
that promises good developments in
the future.

LAST NIGHTS EXPERIMENT.



A trial of the fire proof paint was
made last night at the appointed time.
A miniature roof, which had received
two coats of the paint, was set up at an
angle about the same as an ordinary
roof; shaviugs and kindliny wood were
then put on, well saturated with coal
oil, and fired. The fire burned freely,
coal oil being applied every minute.
After burning fifteen minutes, the red
hot Goals and burning wood were
thrown off, and coal oil alone applied
for about six minutes. During all this
time the fire burned tiercely, but failed
to ignite the dry pine shingles of which
the roof was built, only charring the
surface, and in the end the fire extin-
guished itself. 1t is a first class article,
and if our citizens were to use it freely,
we have no doubt the extra forty per
cent. which we pay here for insurance
would be done away with, as the I'm
derwriters give it a high Endorsement.
