Nerves and Noises.

Newspaper writer's are commenting
extensively upon the uproar of cities.
They say that nature has provided the
eye with contrivance for protecting
itself against unpleasant sights, and one
has only to hold his nose in coming in
contact with anything disagreeable to
the olfactories. Meanwhile the ears
stand open like doors that cannot
be shut. All sorts of rackets, from the
bells of the peddlers to the sharp clank-
ing of the cars of the elevated railroad,
rap on the ear-drum. 1t has been sug.
geseed that if Edison or somebody could
invent some kind of q contrivance to be
worn over the ears that would take up
all these discordant sound.waves and
arrange them into concord and music,
life in our cities might be made more
tolerable.-Dr. E. B. Foote's Health

Get up and then save your bodily
heat if. you wish to keep warm. Don't
hug the fire, nor bundle up like an
Esquimaux. Unless we are invalids we
should build fire within ourselves in
preference. The way to do it, and to
save us from taking severe colds when
we are obliged to go out for any
distance, is to exercise moderately in
the rooms which are not heated. For
the children Jolly romp in the barn
will kindle glow which shall send
them to schoolwithout great discomfort.

!, :, Apples for Mich Cows.

A correspondent of the Ne,u England
Farmer reports this instructive expert.
ence IN feeding apples to milch cows:
He had one which gave only small
quantity OF milk, and with her he began,
thinking there could be but small loss
should the experiment fail. He com.
menced by giving two quarts at afeed,
and gradually increased to half bushel.
The COW began to increase her milk till
she nearly or quite doubled in quantity.
The milk and cream were tested at every
stage, and found to be equally as good
as when grass alone constituted the feed.
To make assurance doubly sure, he
stopped feeding the apples, and immedi-
atelY the COW fell of in her milk to her
former yield. After a few days he be-
gan feeding again, and the former re
suits were attained. It must be under
stood that the apples were mixture of
varieties, the majority being sour. and
windfalls at that. Being pleased with
the result thus far, he began to feed
them to his other COWS, with good re-
suits, the gain in milk being about fifty
per cent, and the quantity and quality
of butter also increasing in somewhat like
ratio. The grazing was rowen. of the
meadow. The only secret of success
was commencing to feed in small qran-
tity and gradually increasing to the
capacity OF the cows appetite. Now,
should any of your readers try the e1.
pertinent by turning his COWS into the
orchard and allowing them to eat at
their will to begin, and should the COW
be badly injured or killed thereby, do
not throw the blame where it does not
belong.

BELONGS BILL.
The New Mining Law introduced
by C~olorado's Congressman.

A late Washington dispatch has the fol-
lowing: Representative Bedford Of Colo
RADIO has introduced a bill proposing to
amend section 2,925 Of the Revised Stat
utes, so as to provide that where a claim
ant for mineral patents is not a resident Of
the land district containing the lode in
question, the afidavits required by this
section may be made by his authorized
agent, II eonversant with the facts sought
to be established thereby. The bill also
proposes to amend section 1924, by pro-
yiding that work required to be done an
nually on all patented mineral claims shall
commence ON the first day Of January sue
ceeding the date Of the location, and that
tho proviso shall apply to all claims located
since May 10, 1879. Another bill intro
dueed by Belford provides that hereafter
any persons DESTROYS Of prospecting on the
public domain in Colorado for the discov-
cry Of deposits Of gold and silver ores
which do not outcrop on the surface, may
locate and hold a claim 1900 feet long and
GOO wide on substantially the following
conditions. Boundaries must be marked
by six stakes; work Of exploration must be
commenced within ten days by sinking a
discovery tunnel, or by an open cut, cross
cut or tunnel, and prosecuted with reason
able diligence under penalty Of forfeiture
Of rights. II the work be suspended for a
period OF thirty days before forfeiting q
title, and ten days after the discovery of
the mineral deposit, the locator must record
a certificate Of location in the County
Clerks Office, whereupon he may proceed
TO make application for a United States
patent, subject to the conditions Of the Act
Of May 10, 1872.

ON THE WAR PATH.
Ai"ion stoekh olders want to Know
Why This IL ThusIy.

for several days past rumors have been
circulated on the streets that the Richmond
company had struck an immense body of
ore on the Albion grounds, and were ex-
t%racting from 5000 to SIC. 900 daily.
Ihese rumors were based on the report of
Joe fotts, who, iD company with two other
miners, had gained access to the Richmond.
and had made a survey of their workings.
Naturally they were calculated to wake up
the Albion stockholders in Eureka, and the
result was a meeting at the international
Hotel last evening, to which the Srxr1NE1,s
reporter was invited. 1t was held in Room
a. on the third story, and it is doubtful if
that particular apartment will ever witness
such an assemblase again. 1t would have
surprised most Of the S~EST1NEL's readers
had they been there and learned the names
ana character of the men in Eureka who
mold Albion stock. Tie meeting repre-
sented every conceivable calling in this re-
glon, and many Of our most prominent
business men took part, and q ,0S0 shares
were represented.
Mr.. Thomas Pearson acted as President.
and j. MEG. Scott as Secretary.
Mr. Pearson, on assuming the chair, said
that 1t was currently reported that ore in
paying quantities was being taken from
the grounds partly owned by those present,
to their loss and detriment. The officers
OF the Albion Company, for some mae
countable reason, were taking no further
steps looking to its development, and he
asked for an expression Of opinion by those
present.
Upon invitation Capt. Joe Potts exhib-
tied a map, drawn by Surveyor Read about
two months ago, which represented the
work done on the disputed ground at that
time. Accepting the map and Joe's report
as correct, 1T appears that the Richmond
Company have, ON their fourth level,
passed their limit to the extent Of 672
feet, and are now beyond the Albion
line, and that a drift from their fourth
level into Albion No. 2, a claim belonging
to the Albion Company, resulted in strik-
ing a rich body Of ore at a distance Of IS
feet from the Tiptop line, a claim Of the
Richmond. The Captain stated that 26
men were at work on this ore, and had
already penetrated it to the extent Of So
feet.
A lively discussion followed this state
ment, in which some illusions not alto
gether complimentary to the management
OF the Albion were made, and resolutions
OF rather a plain character were intro
duced.
Mr.. Pardy counseled moderation. He
had invested in Albion because he.believed
il would prove profitable. and did not be-
lleye in ~antagonizing the management.

that Superintendent Robinson was expected
daily, and he would therefore suggest that
a committee be appointed to draft resolu-
tons expressive of the sense OF the meet
ing, and to confer with Mr.. Robinson upon
his arrival. This was unanimously agreed
TO, and Messrs. J. MEG. Scott, Jack Ker-
men,, Thos. Pearson, VIM. Stinson and
Joseph Lee were designated.
Another meeting will be called as soon
as the time Of Mr.. Robinson's arrival is
ascertained.

JACKET AND NORCROSs.
Graves and Hayward as Successful
Mining Men,

Says the Gold Hill News: The passing
Of the control and management Of the Hale
q Norcross and Yellow jacket mines from
the Bonanza firm to Alvinza Hayward and
Robert N. Graves, although somewhat of a
surprise to most people in this section, was
not altogether unanticipated. Both of
these mines have been pretty heavy loads
to carry, for the last three or four years,
especially, and the Bonanza firm have
shown a disposition of late to contract the
sphere of their operations, and pay more
attention to the more remunerative pros
poets at the north end Of the lode. 1t is
also whispered that this change was not al
together voluntary ON their part that they
did not of themselves hold the control,
even at the last meeting. The idea is also
advanced, that Coll Deane and his friends,
in some way, instigated and engineered the
change; also, that the Bonanza firm made
the change merely in order to dodge the
issue forced upon them, regarding the i'm
mediate development Of those Coll Deane
bonanzas. The proposition is simply I'M
reasonable and absurd.
BY some 1t Is argued that this sale on
the party of the Bonanza firm indicates a
lack of faith in their being able to find re-
munerative ore deposits in those mines,
therefore they are glad to get rid Of them:
but as an offset to this idea, it must be
borne in mine that Hayward and Graves
are old Comstockers Of long and extensive
experience in mines and mine manage
ment. They certainly go into the arrange
ment with their eyes open, knowing well
what they are buying and what they are
about. Both are shrewd and successful
inaneiers and operators. Graves was very
successful as a Comstock mining Superin-
tendent, and it will be borne in mind that
Hayward stepped in and quietly secured
the control of Crown Point when the stock
was selling at S4 80 per share told shares,
with a S. assessment, u the stock up into
the thousands and went to paying divi-
dends. Who knows that this change may
not bring big luck to both Yellow jacket
and Hale 4 Norcross?

PETERING u
The Excitement Regarding the III.
erra MOtadO Mines.

NADI0HO
Mexican advices concerning the Sierra
Mojado mines says the excitement con-
corning them has completely died out. The
return OF several responsible parties to the
City Of Mexico, from a visit to the mines,
and their report Of the condition Of things
generally has destroyed all faith in the
matter. An American named Major John
Wlllett is alleged to be at the bottom of
the movement, and the furore on the Rio
Grande and in Texas is said to be owing to
his reports Of the fabulous richness of the
mines. The Indians north Of the mining
district are committing depredations, and
a train of prospectors from Texas was re-
Gently attacked and upwards Of so miners
were killed. There is no protection what
ever on the western side Of the Rio Grande.
the Mexican army being perfectly incapa-
bic OF putting a stop to the Indian ravages.
The miners were compelled to organize for
self-protection. An American, who has
recently arrived at the Sierra Moiada,
writes a friend: "There are a plenty of
mines, some of them worthless, others with
very little silver in them, and few that
will pay moderately when there are faciii-
ties for working them. Up to the present
date October 3lst) no Company has been
formed. Every one is prospecting and To-
eating mines on his own account, and that,
too, with very little security for his life.
The country around here is a complete
desert there is but little water, and what
there is of it is brackish, and there is hard
~ enough of it for the use Of the people
here. There is no wood OF any kird. ex-
cept it be the mesquit, which is almost
worthless for purposes of fuel. There are
but comparatively few Americans here.
There are, of course, some few arrivals,
weekly, from Texas. The majority of the
people here are those who have lived in this
district for years. In fact, many more are
going away than coming in"

The Herald says that in the Yankee Fork
District alone about $50 locations have
been recorded in Bay Horse, 200 in
Wood River and Saw Tooth, upward OF 100
nearly all the past three months East
Fork, a good many. and mines have re-
Gently been discovered on Lost River, and
other places not mentioned in our report.
1t would require a paper twice the size OF
the Herald TO give anything like a full
report of the prominent mines.
Anoble work has been accomplished by
the prospectors and miners In this country
since the quartz mines were discovered.
They are mainly veterans, and belong to
The old guard Of treasure-seekers who have
opened up the mineral fields from Arizona
to British America, and from Colorado and
Wyoming to the Pacific coast.
One great advantage the Yankee Fork
country has over other quartz camps is IN
the richness OF the surface ores. some or
the mines AVE paid from the date OF their
discovery, and by the aid OF hand mortar
and a~rastra put money in circulation; d
10 this the profits Of ores shipped to mar
ket, and we have q quartz camp that has
Welded a revenue over expenses Of develop

have recently been made to capitalists,

publish the following old prophecy:
If Xmas Day on Thursday be.
A windy winter We shall see;
Windy weather In each week.

The summer shall be good and dry,
Corn and beasts shall multiply;
That year 10 good for lands to tint
Kings and priuces shall die by skill;
II child born that day shall be,
1t shall happen right well for het
or deeds he shall be good and stable,
Wise OF speech and ~ressonablet
whose that day goes thieving about,
He shall be punished without doubt
And II sickness that day betide,
II shall quickly from thee glide.
