Pumng Travelling Combinations.

The Carson Appeal contains an excellent
article on this subject, and, among other
things. says; Papers are given to putting
second and third-class talent, simply as a
return which editors consider due on the
Job printing and advertising account, and
1t is high time that papers treated regular
subscribers and patrons with more consid-
Grafton than they accord transient hum
bugs whose patronage averages very little.
When the fact is taken iuto consideration
that il business is dull with them they
either expect a reduction Of bills, or slip
of without paying anything: while first
class companies generally have advance
agents, whose main business seems to be to
g4t as much advertising and printing as
possible for the least outlay Of cash aud a
profusion Of dead-head tickets, it will be
seen that the newspapers profit on shows
are not large.

MINING VALUES.
some Of the Queer Conditions

""""e Oh the Queer Conditions
Shown.
Inc bulletin says that mining properties
exhibit some queer conditions. Bullion
producing claims are often rated for less
Than those that have not yielded a pound
Oh pay ore, and that show no indication
that they ever will. Dividend mines fire.
qnently sell for less money per share than
those that are kept open entirely by assess
mehts. The amount Of the dividend paid
seldom bears any proportion to the value
OF the shares. Belle Isle, with her 75c
per share dividend, rarely sold at over 81,
While Bodie, with d SOC dividend, was COM
manding Sl2, and the Eureka Con-. with a
81 dividend, realized SIS to $40 per share.
Ihere Is the same disparity among the non
productive mines. Belcher and Crown
Polnt are selling to. day at from $50, 600 to
slO5,OOO apiece, while Yellow Jacket. along
side, and with no better show of a bo-
nanza, Is rated at over 81, 900, 900, and Con-
solidated Imperial, q few feet further
north, commands $500, 900. Judged by
what 1t has done, Crown Point ought to be
worth as much as half-a-dozen mines like
Consolidated Imperial. Going north, we
have Alpha rated at $3.50, 600; Excheauer,
s2f5,000; Bullion, 1915, 600; Chollar, $780,
ooO; Potosi, $500, 0e0; Savage AID Gould
" Curry, each about S43e, 900; Best &
Beieher, $3.50, 900; Con. Virginia and Cali
lorna. each a little over 1900. 900; Ophir,
~SZ,ooo.u0O; Mexican, 81 $50 .0G0; Union
Consolidated, about 81, 900. 900. Sierra Ne.
vada, So, SOC, 600: and Utah, 81. 0OO, 900.
Ophir and Mexican were formerly under
one Incorporation; so were Chollar and Po-
tosi. In each case there was an equal d.
vision Of the feet in the claim, and vet the
northerly half Of each has nearly always
been considered to be the least valuable.
At present Union Consolidated ia the high
est priced mine on the Comstock Lode.

AN ARIZONA PICTURE.
A Thunderstorm from an Almost
ClOuilesS Sky.

The following delightful piece OF word
painting is from the Arizona correspond
ent Of the Chicago Tribune. As a pure
description of the sky and mountain seem
cry it is unsurpassed, and although a
prose effort, is running over with poetry:
Well, here we are, in the midst of al
most a cloudless thunderstorm. One who
has never been in the mountain valleys in
the heated season can hardly realize how
it can tighten, thunder and rain suddenly,
and with little Or no preparation; yet a lit
tie ugly cloud comes from somewhere, al
most in a minute, and it is big with tenn
pest. / do think this country is capable
Of more lightning and thunder to the min
ute than any other place in which l have
ever been. That little cloud has spread
out to about the size OF two big carpets,
but it is full-grown thunder storm. 1t
Is about 8 P. NJ thermometer los, with
the sun shining brightly; but, in ten yards
further, it will sink behind that point Of
the mountain. What a magnificent bath
this is These drops are not falling so
thickly as I have seen them, but they will
average Just about as large where they
touch you as your thumb nail. What q
picture, II this trembling beauty. II the lit
tie space intervening, and the side OF that
mountain, drifting off into the raviue up
toward the sun, could be carried to the

the trembling sheen Of golden light? A
shower OF diamonds could not glitter more.
Angels could not toss brighter jewels from
the cabinets. know that those are only
stinted, muiky-green shrubs clinging to
that desolate hillside; but they are the
tinted background Of a picture no artist
hand dare p~rofane. And this companion
picture, brimful Of worthless beauty. Why
Il the human easel SO tame? That is the
same old mountain which I descended
not thirty minutes since-an old rusty,
rocky dome. but that shadow Of Neptune
was not there then, with that girdls OF
rainbow about his loins. If ~raindrops are
brighter, here rainbows are more real,
solid beauties. 1t cannot be only q shadow.

That bolt of electric fire which just spent
its fury on that old crag, aud sent those

owl from his hole in tho rocks, and his
somber wings are less profane while bath

deer has Just sprung into place where all
this rainbow hangs upon his horns. But
let me shut my eyes before this picture
fades. and thank the Maker for this little
patch Of storm.
