On eross-examinaiion Witness admitted that
he had no experience In keeping railroad ac-
counts. He made an examination OF Erie ac.
counts in 1877. He made an affidavit In 1878. In
which he stated that the gross earnings OF the
road for twenty eight months were $4s.0D0 900.
Witness was asked whether he had not con-
founded the receipts and earnings and he was
closely questioned as TO what he understood bv
receiDts and earnings. the charge being that he
had ovsrestlmated earnings by .S10.oo0.oO0,
Witness then put q running fire OF questions

bilty as an expert. Counsel for com pany tried
70 prove that the repor's Of the Erie Railway
Company made to the State engineer we're prac-
ticaly profit and loss account, and as such were
correct. Witness asserted that the law did not
require reports to be profit and loss accounts,
but he admitted that the dsfcits In the depart
men,s to which he referred we're due In q Rrsst
measure, to the form prescribed BY law and not
to the rairond companies themselves.

A wonderful place is Tinaias, about
thirty miles southeast of Mission Camp.
The mountains have one face of hard,
smooth granite. All the water falling
upon this basin has to flow through
nine tanks, one above the other. The
lower tanks are of easy access and are
often drained of their contents by men
and animals travelling between Yuma
and Sonora. The upper tanks are ap.
preached only by circu:tous and difficult
climbing over rocks. To one standing
below they afford no indication of their
--i-.ence. nor does climbing the smooth,
steep mountain side seem possible to
one unacquainted with the way they do
it. In the upper tanks water has never
been known to fall. 70 this water comes
game of all kinds in great numbers from
the great waterless country around Tin
ajas. Antelope, mountain sheep and
deer of several kinds come in herds.
Rabbits and hares ore as plenty as any
where and are prey for many coyotes
and beautiful little rock foxes. One
would think that all this game would be
thinned out by the Papago Indians who
Ahhoote ShO COuAtly. out luc6o luulhub
are superstitious and avoid Tinajas with
abject horror. Within two miles of this
water are certainly $50 graves and prob.
ably more, each marked by rows OF
stones laid in the form of a cross. Scores
of men famished for water have expended
their las. strength in reaching Tinajas,
only TO find the lower tanks dry, and
ignorant of the upper ones have lain
down in despair to die. The remains
have been buried by later travellers and
the graves marked, Mexican fashion, by
a cross of stones. During the rush to
the gold fslds of California, cholera at
tackled travellers on the road from Mex
leo. as it did American immigrants along
the Platte; pestilence combined with
thirst to produce oorpses at Tinejas.
Recolections OF blsached bones and
grinning sculls protect the game from
Papago arrows and flint locks. After
passing through its usual fermentation
the water becomes clear and pure az any
in the world; it comes from the clouds
only, and flowing into the tanks over in
soluble granite it carries no mineral
matter. Every heavy rain pours whirl-
wind torrent through the tanks, washing
them out to the very bottom-no organic
matter stays behind. The number and
variety of birds here is marvellous, many
of them appearing 10 be of new and un-
described species. At morning and
evening the din of their song confined by
sides of the mountains, is almost deafen-
ing. All around Tinajas is the remark
able vegetation of the desert; near its
tanks are many curious plants nourished
by their moisture. The placs is one OF
much interest.

A gentleman residing in the south

A gentleman residing in the southern
portion of the city has pet coon--an
animal so cunning and misohievous that
he has to keep him chained up as gen.
eral thing, though every few days be is
released to have gombol with the chill
dren, for whose benefit he plays all
sorts of "circus." He is kept in good
shape, with tub of water to bathe in,
and everything else necessary. A day
or two ago the family heard little hound
pup which they are raising crying most
piteously in the back yard, and ran to
see what the trouble was, but were
brought to standstill by the tableau
presented when they arrived at the
coon's headquarters. The sagacious an
imal. after playing with the pup Q while,
had suddenly discovered that he needed
a bath, and carrying him to the tub had
given him one. When the spectators
arrived, the coon was seated on the edge
of the tub, holding the pup with one
hand and rubbing the water off with the
other. When he had got him dried to
his satisfaction, he inspected him care
fully, and finding either too many feas
or too much dirt, plunged him into the
tub again. The pup expressed his dis
satisfaction by giving utterance to the
liveliest yells and struggling energetic
ally, but his captor paid no attention to
his objections, inspected him again. gave
him another dousing, and was picking
feas off, when some of the ladies watch
ing his operations interfered.-[ Saora-

We regret to have to announce in this
number of the Central that developing
work has been stopped on the great
Standby mine. What has led the owners
and managers to take this step is one of
the mysteries which seem to often char
acterize the conduct of mining enter
prises in Nevada, in cases where mining
stock manipulators are trying to get the
control; and we view the suspension of
work on the Standby as the bsst evil
dence that could be asked of its richness
and permanency. We once knew on i'm
mense body of rich ore to be struck in
a mine in Ely District, Nevada, when
the pay streak was boarded up as soon
as struck, 30 it could not even be in
spected. and for three months after the
miners engaged were purposely set to
work in barren rock. We also know
that in the early days Of the Comstock
developments some OF the quartz mills
were carpeted with Brussels and en-
hellished with rosewood furniture. The
Standby never looked better than to-day
that the ore bodies exposed are of i'm
inense extent, and yield well-that there
are no indications of the mine "pinch.
ing out ARE facts. We had hopad the
freezing out" game would never be
introduced here; but it seems it has

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.-The Ogden
Freeman gives the following advice to
young men: before you get married
young man, be sure and examine your
girls tongue. If she has long slim
tongue that turns up at the edges, don't
marry her. That girl will worry your
life out asking you questions about your
business. II she has a short thick
tongue. beware of her, as girl with that
kind of tongue will tell oil the neigh
borhood lies about yourself and family.
If she has medium sized tongue, give
her wide berth. This kind of tongue
is cross between the two above de-
scribed tongues, and is considered on the
fence, and you will never be able to tell
which way she will jump. If the young
lady is without tongue, marry her i'm
mediately or she will forget she prom
ised you her hand in wedlock. and is
liable to go back on you at tho altar.
Such girl. however, il you are success
full in closing the contract, is worth her
weight in gold, and will make you good
and true wife,"
