SOAP DUG FROM THE GROUND.
Specimens Of Natural Soap in the
Leader" offce-An Old Gag
Y 7H Becomes the Truth.

For many generations it has been the
custom in most localities to ridicnle
other places as possessing ''soap mines"
The rig has long been run as a fanciful
invention of sarcasm, but there is un-
doubleday. a basis for the charge against
Elko, Nevada. A short time since the
writer observed a floating item in the
press referring to some newly discov-
cred soap mines near Elko, and at once
wrote for a specimen. Yesterday af-
ternoon a large package was received
by express from Mr.. NJ. P. Haynes,
proprietor of the mines. 1t contained
two one pound cakes of the. prepared
article, and a number. of nuggets
just as they came from the mine. The
soap is the color of CASTLE, and seems
to have a similar grit and feel. One can
readily wash with the natural article,
but the prepared Is freed from all
earthly and other foreign matter, and
is perfumed. hssua
This soap has wonderful cleaning
properties; .as we tested it in the LEAD
Err job Office. As a toilet soap it is
pleasant, and it is said to possess great
medicinal virtues, especially for dis
eases of the skin. Mr.. Keynes says the
editor of the Elko Post is applying it on
some poison sores, and is being cured.
1t seems destined to occupy a promi-
nent Mace In, the market herea fter and

The Middleton Affair.

1t will be remembered by the LEAD
Err that Detective Lykins, in his fight
with the outlaw, Middleton, snapped
his rifle upon four different cartridges,
and each one missed fire.. Considerable
surprise was manifested by all who
read the account of the affair, inas--
much as it was thought strange that
Mr.. Lykins should provide himself with
an arm or ammunition that should he
the least defective. 1t seems not to
have been his fault, however, for he
had an arm which is reported to be re-
liable-the Sharps' rifle. Nor wa it
the fault Of the cartridges, for he
brought this ammunition to Freund
Bros, of this city, and they introduced
the cartridges into one of their i'm
proved Sharps', and each one of the
supposed defective cartridges was ex-
ploded. Thus it seems that it was the
fault of the so-called ''Old Reliable
Sharps' which in this case proved
itself very unreliable, and came very
near costing him his life, and in all
probability was the means of the nom
arrest and capture Of one of the most
desperate outlaws that ever travelled
the plains. Mr.. Lykins says he has
enough of the sold Reliable" now, and
accordingly ordered one of 4Freund
Bros, improved Sharps'.

AT an early hour on Friday morning
Messrs. Davis and Sweeney were astir,
and they reported that clouds 10 the
cast of the peak would obscure the sun
rise, so We didn't goeout to see. Be it
known that the top of the peak is sew
eral acres in extent. and the signal
station is built nearly in the center.
Owing to the character of the surface,
being composed of large stones, aim
lessly thrown together, pedestrianating
is rather difficult.
For Breakfast we had some Boston
baked beans and ham that had been
laid in last year, for the main supplies
are laid in only once a year, in the lat
ter part OF August. a strange fact We
learned was that beans and potatoes,
ETC., could not be boiled up in that
altitude. The longer they were kept
come. SO the baked beans have TO be
laid in. Mr.. Sweeney acted as cook,
and got up a very palatable breakfast,
of which we partook freely. You see
1t was free blow and we were hun
CRY, something unknown to a visitor
who isn't n newspaper man.
After breakfast Corporal Davis and
the scribe sailed forth with shooting
irons n Il field glass. A few yards
from the door We saw several very large
badgers disporting themselves III the
sunshine, and they escaped n their
holes III the rocks from our harmless
bullets. Twas really wonderful the
number OF these animals That are to be
FOUND on The summit. Ground SPUR
feis TOO, are numerous. Birds OF strange
piumage VISIT peak both in summer
and winter. -Afe
l., LONG TO the edge OF the summit on
the eastern side, we saw down II deep
abyss how that the topmost thousand
feet OF the peak was composed of huge,
broken rocks, as if giants had been
piing them up for ages In the hope OF
making a-second or Babylon. In
mehse clouds stretched away TO the
southeast, ana they were lar below u
altitude. he-sun shone ON them mn

the northern edge or n clouds spoken

checker board. And as the cloud dis
appeared Pueblo loomed up in the
south. as1s3 eJ..qs
All about there Were mountain
ranges covered with snow. The top Of
the peak we were on had several acre
patches, but it was too cold to make
more than one SNOWFALL TO throw.
Near by the station there stands a
lonely tomb board, surmounted by an
iron cross. A pile of stones is heaped
up like a grave, and the visitor always
goes to the spot, and if he or she be
sentimental, there will soon be some
weeping going on. This inscription
appears on the board: Erected by

absolutely Independent of each other.
The people Of the country are unwil-
ling to see the supremacy of the coun-
try replaced by the omnipotence of any
department of the government. The
enactment of the bill into law will
establish precedent which will tend
to destroy the equal independence of
pthe several branches of the govern
ment. Its principle places not merely
the senate and executive, but the ju-
dietary also, under the coercive dlcta-
tion Of the house. The house alone
will be the judge of what constitutes a
grievance, and also of the means and
measure of redress. An act of congress
to protect elections is now the griev-
ance complained of, but the house may,
on the same principle, determine that
any other act of congress, treaty
made by the president with the advice
and consent of the senate, a nomina-
tion or appointment to Office, or that a
decision or opinion of the supreme
court is a grievance, and that measure
of redress is to withhold the appropria-
tions required to support the offending
branch Of the government.
Believing that this bill is danger
GUS violation of the spirit and meaning
Of the constitution, am compelled to
return it to the house In which 1t orig
mated, without my approval. The
qualified negative with which the con-
stitution invests the president is
trust that involves a duty which /
cannot decline to perform, and with
firm and conscientious purpose to do
what can to preserve unimpaired the
constitutional powers and equal nde-
pendence, not merely of the executive
but of every branch of the govern
ment, which will .be imperiled by the
adoption of the principle of this bill. 1
desire earnestly to urge upon the house
of representative return to the wise
and wholesome usage of the early days
Of the republic, which excluded from
appropriation bills all irrelevant legisla-
tion. By this course you will inaugu-
rate important reform in the method of
congressional legislation; your action
will be in harmony with the fundamen-
tai principles of the constitution and
the patriotic. sentiment of nationality,
which is their firm support, and you
will restore to the country that feeling
of confidence and security and repose
which are essential to the prosperity of
all our fellow citizens.
