chine of 1000 candle power, arranged
to give four separate currents, each run
ming an electric lamp of 1905 candle
power. Two of the lamps were placed
on the third floor and two on the fourth
floor of the immense building. and when
the engine was started up the machine
started at the same time, and without
the slightest manual interference. the
lamps flashed out their light in all its
magnifcence. The effect was most bril-
liant The rooms were flooded with a
pure white light like the light of the
sun, and it streamed out at all the win
dows, Illuminating houses and streets
for long distance in every direction.
The light was very uniform and steady,
free from the pickering, and considering
its enormous Illuminating power, was
Unexpectedly soft and endurable TO the
eyes Estimates were made as TO the
amount that the light furnished by this
apparatus, would cost if used BY the
carpet company, as it was used on this
occasion, and it was ascertained that the
total cost from the whole light from the
four lamps including the items of CON
sumption Of caFbon IN the lamps. inter.
est on the investment, and wear and tear
would not exceed thirty cents an hour.
The light produced was photometricaIly
equal to $50 gas burners, burning five
feet Of gas per hour each This amount
Of gas would cost 50 per hour.

DEADwooD, D. T., Jan. 23.-The first clean
up was yesterday made from three days
crush on ore from the Reno mine, situated
near Gayville, which yielded two hundred
and fifty ounces of gold, valued by bankers
at fraction over $500. Nearly three tons
Of ore were crushed, averaging $50 per ton.
The morning Pioneer contains the follow
ing:
Major D. Fl. Konkling has returned from
a trip to the newly discovered oil region near
Jenny's Cockade. He reports the people
from every section of the hills arriving to
secure claims. There are at present fifty
two claims located, a cabin being built on
each. Messrs Bascom & Randall, who have
had much experience in other oil regions,
have taken up claims three miles distant from
the oil springs. They pronounced the indi-
cations for oil the best they have ever wit
messed.
About ten miles north of the oil springs,
six salt springs have been discovered, from
one gallon of which one pound of pure salt
was extricated. Several parties are making
preparations to put up pans for salt extrac-
tons.

to the House. In any other way, the taking
of any considerable amount of testimony
would be utterly impracticable.
Among the other bills recommended for
indefinite postponement by Mr.. Campbell,
was one introduced by Mr.. Geib, which re-
quired County Commissioners to give bonds.
In explanation, the chairman stated that
such officers could not legally handle public
money, and that un1er such circumstances,
the bonds, if given, would be valueless. The
House sustained the recommendation, and
the bill found an early and untimely grave.
Among the more noteworthy bills intro
duced was one by Mr.. McDermott, of Min
neapois, for the protection of laborers, me-
chanics and other employees to the amount
of 5000, and making the same lien upon
the property of the employer used in the
business in which the employee was engaged.
Mr.. Brandt introduced bill which pro-
poses to redeem the bounties offered in 1873
by the State for the encouragement of tree
planting on the prairies to the amount OF
