of the wonderful salt marsh north of US,
is taken from letter written to and pub
lished in the Ogden freeman:
Eighty miles from Cherry Creek, on
the line of Utah and Nevada, twenty
miles south of the old overland stage
road, is wonderful and very productive
salt marsh that is one and q half miles
wide by four miles long, In the spring
of the year this overfows from surplus
water that comes from the surrounding
country. There are some two hundred
fresh springs in and around this marsh,
affording water good to drink. OF these
springs none of them are more than one
hundred yards distant from the marsh.
In the summer season the water evapor-
ates, leaving deposit of salt from two
inches to one foot thick. The distance
from Great Salt Lake is It's miles, with
with mountain chains intervening Last
year 1000 tons Of salt was wagoned from
this marsh to Cherry Creek, Ward,
Phoebe and Hamilton for use in reduc.
ing ores. 1t is worth $13 at the marsh
and 500 at Cherry Creek, the nearest
camp. The property is owned by the
Solar Salt Company, composed of Judge
Riley, M. J. O'Connor, John O'Dough-
erty and William Barry. One contract
made last fall to supply this salt at Ward
amounted to the neat little sum Of $685..
600. In collecting the salt seven white
men and thirteen Indians are employed.
It costs So per ton to put it on wagons.
The process of gathering it is to use little
hand-scrapers to collect it in piles. from
which it is shoveled into dummy cars
that run on temporary track laid to
solid ground, where it is transferred into
wagons for shipment to the mining
camps.
An Idaho paper says: The Indian
who figured 80 conspicuously at WASH
ington with Chief Joseph, and who was
such lion at the Presidents mansion
under the name of Yellow Bull, is no
other than Chotlin Mox Mox, the muir.

A BRUISER OF ANTIQUITY.
The Nice Little Job that Some Roman Sports
Put Up on Caius Maximin.

Our people are continually boast
ing about the heavy hitters of the
Comstock. 1t Is a fact, however,
thatthe heaviest hitter now living
-on the Comstock or elsewhere-is
not to be compared with the ath-
letes of ancient times There was
once an old Roman Emperor, Caius
Maximin, who was over eight feet
high, and when he wished to give
visiting country athletes an idea
of his style he would kill a bullock
with a single blow of his fist. One
night the boys got him full of Fred
ericksburg beer and took him round
to the back of the palace, where
there was big stone bull of Bashan,
carved about a hundred years before
by talented sculptor. Reguius,
one of the sports in the crowd, bel
Maximin the drinks that he could
not knock the bull down. Maxy
took 1t up at once. "Just see me
lift him one, u said he, as he let fly
his right square at the head of the
brown stone bull. 1t mashed his
knuckles all to pieces, and the crowd
laughed heartily. Next day Max
imin hired a smart lawyer, brought
a suit for damages against the city,
and by packing q jury got verdict
for 500 damages.

A GOOD SQUARE MEAL.
A arub-striker's Encounter with Well
Hselsd Samaritan.
Virginia Chronicle.

Virginia Chronicle.
Last evening, a man walking
along G street was accosted py
striker who wanted fifty cents for
meal. The beggar had just come
out of o restaurant few minutes
before, and the party applied to for
the coin knew it.
"Are you really in want ?" he
said.
"Almost starving" replied the
other, with O famishcd look. II
haven't eaten anything for nearly
twenty.four hours"
tThen come with me TO the next
restaurant and I'll fill you up.n
"Oh, never mind, sir; don't let
me trouble you so much" said the
beggar, moving Off
"Right this way" said the phi
lanthropist, pulling an ugly six
shooter. "When I start in to do a
kind deed, by heavens Pll make the
rifle or husband don't you forget
It! Now, come along, or I'll blow
your Internal head off,"
The striker saw he was in the
door and followed the good Ssmari-
tan into the Delmonico restaurant.
IA big beefsteak with onions,
two fried eggs, some corn beef, and
plenty of vegetables on the side,"
yelled the philanthropist to the
waiter.
The striker sank down in q chair
and presently big layout was
brought, to the general delight of
the walters, who took in the situa-
tion at glance.
81 can't eat meat, because my
stomach is too weak" said the
man at the table.
'tOh, that's too thin," said the
man at the revolver; "you ate a
big beefsteak here only ten min
utes ago."
"That's so" responded the wait
ers In chorus.
The benevolent man pulled up a
chair and sat down. Then he
cooked his revolver and said:
"Now, yeu Internal scoundrel, just
eat every bit of that grub, or Pll
spoil your appetite, sure"
The hummer began, and for the
next half hour labored painfully to
cram down food on stomach
already full. After eating about
two-thirds of what was in sight, he
stopped, doggedly declaring that he
would "bust" If he swallowed an
other mouthful, and said he would
"rather be shot than bust.n
His meal was paid for, and he
left the place groaning and hardly
able to walk.
