MINING NOTES.


The flooded mines are being relieved
Of their water slowly but surely. The

morning to a point 80 feet on the slope
below the Hale 4 Norcross 1000 level.
The average is now about "a feet per
day. The Savage pumps direct into the
tunnel and besides sends water through
the lightning drift to the Combination
shaft by two donkey pumps. The Hale

In q Trance.
The Chicago Time.


The case OF o girl lying In q trance at
the London Hospital 10 exciting the
greatest sensation among medical men.
Every medical authority in England has
been called In to decide upon the case
Of the strange phenomenon. The patient
lies still and motionless upon the bed.
Her eyes are closed, but when the lids
are raised beneath the doctors fingers
the gaze IL bright and intelligent. as
though the mind were perfectly con.
scious Of all that Is passing around her,
while the pulse beats strong and regular
a. that Of q person In full health. The
girl has been lying in this state Of trance
for more than three weeks without food.
The account OF her seizure Is singular
enough. She had already been a pa
tient for q few days ct the hospital whom
the nurse was called in the middle OF
the night to her bedside by the most ter.
rible shrieks and meanings. The girl
was found writhing In agony. exclaiming
that death was coming on, and that she
had but Q few moments to live. Before
the nurse could summon the doctor the
patient had stretched herself out stii
ana senselsss, and has never recovered
motion or consciousness since that mo.
ment.

The Sink Of the Humboldt.

We are informed by Big Meadows
farmers who have resided on the Lower
Humboldt for years that the lake com.
monty called the Sink OF tho Humboldt
Is now almost. II not entirely dry. Per.
sons who resided hear the waters edges
few years ago are from three to four
miles from water now. and only o small
stream runs through what was formerly
the center OF the lake to the outlet
at the Oneida mill. Thousands OF
acres OF the finest aud richest
land, which has heretofore been
submerged, is now dry enough to
cultivate. No one seems at all anxious
to occupy or claim the land, - the
opinion Is general that when there y
heavy fall OF snow In the Winter the
lake will spread ont to It's former dimsn.
sions In the Spring. Those who have
entertained the opinion that the lake II
drained BY o subteranean outlet Can now
satisfy themselves that such Ia not the
fact BY inspecting the bottom. The dry.
ing up OF the lake IL attributed 70 the
light snowfall In the mountains 1t the

built In the river at different points from

How 10 Beat Faro.

There onc was . young man residing
in Gold Hill who was known as AZ in.
veterate gambler. For ten years he had
worked steadily at his trade. and at the
end Of each month had lost his wages.
Finally. becoming desperate. he married
a bright young lady. who had some
knowledge Of worldly affairs and human
nature. knowing her husbands weak.
ness, she determined to turn it to good
account for the advantage OF the family.
Her plan was to start q faro bank. 40.
cordingly. she procured q layout. box.
cass.kseper and the necessary checks.
At this point her greatest difficulty was
encountered. She had 10 capital. Going
to an experienced gambler and stating
the case to him. shs was able to borrow
5000; the gambler we'll. knowing that he
had a dead thing on getting his money
back. The preliminaries being arranged,
the husband readily agreed to play
against his wife's bank. provided she
would agree to ring the bell"
for the drinks once in o
while. The fair dealer acquissced
and the game commenced. At the end
Of an hour and q half the female portion
Of the family had possession Of the
months wages. Next month the same
experience was repeated. In q short
| time the $500 had been repaid the
| gambler, and q fine embroidered lay
| out was made by the thrifty wife. Soon
after she began to buy diamonds and to
invest in stocks. Her next stroke was
to build an elegant mansion; then she
kept her own carriage. and finally made
q tour OF the world. accompanied by her
husband and three children, and the
prosperity thus begun has never do.
creased. The family now lives on b
street. Virginia. and is rsckoned among
the heightened class.

6"fh scor' Cuic'HHdh enquirer.
I was talking yesterday with Mr.. John
Wyeth. Of Philadelphia. He Ia one OF
the largest manufacturers OF medical
preparations in this country-not qusck
medicines, but plain prescriptions. such
as doctors give and druggists supply by
the aid OF o clerk. It is the tendency OF
our time to manufacture things OF that
kind In q large laboratory and let the
druggist merely pour them out OF his
vial. I said to Mr.. Wysth:
"You live In the same city whore the
~quinins monopoly has been held. Was
it a monopoly"
Eyes, one OF tho worst kind. Two
firms held it, the Rosengartens and
Powers & Wsightman. The Rosengar-
tens were Hebrews, whose father went
into that business Of putting up quinins
In the last generation. The sons are
rather apostatss or indiffsrsntsts. These
people got the duty ixed ct . high figure,
preventing foreign composition, and then
controlled the whole importation OF
the cinchona bark. For instance" said
Mr.. wyeth, "M I were to manufacture
1000 ounces Of quinins. they would
not interfere with ms. probably, bot II I
were to manuiacturs 100000 ounces they
would suddenly drop the price and break
me up. A Frenchmsn named Pellstier
came over to this country TO 90 into the
manufacture. They were all ready for
him. He sold his product ct "a 30 per
ounce, and they flooded the market with
the same thing st % so. and after losing
S400, 900 he went back to France"
Chow did they get control Of the
bark 2" I asked.
"wsll, a. they are the principal con.
sumsrs Of Il, they make the price. Sup
pose, for instance, three vessels Of this
bark came from South America to the
Delaware ; they would 90 to Powers &
Weightman, who would state that they
had no use for any more bark, but would
take It at fifty cents . pound. The rul.
ing price at that time In Europe would DO
50 30 a pound. The shipper would 60
down to Rossngartsn's, who would have
got q wink. and they would oier no
more than atty cents. Consequently
they would pile up in their warehouses
great quantities Of this bark, ready to
launch upon any competitor. When the
war broke out between Russia and Tur.
key, two or three years ago. Powers d
Weightman had $1,000. 900 Of this bark
lying In their works."
As to the excessive use OF protected
spirits to mako this quinine. Mr.. wysth
said It had not been true for years, a.
they used petroleum.

BAPTISM OF TAR.
A.o.s.r RAID by .n. Tar Brigade.
Reno Gazette, JuIn lG.

Reno Cd.efe, July III.
About 1890 o'clock last night some
eight or ten men. with their faces
mufaed, entered White & lllidge's 50.
loon, on Virginia street, and captured
Thomas Rogers. who was sleeping on q
table at the time. Rogers evidently
knew what they wanted with him, and
begged for mercy. His captors disre.
pardsd his entreaties, however, aud
dragged him out. Other parties at.
tempted to ring in with the mob. but
were absshed by an orderto stand back
delivered in a peremptory tone that ad.
mitted Of no parleying. Rogers was
taken down to the V. & 7. bridge, the
scsns OF Jones' tarring. where his
masked tormentors plentifully be-
smesrsd him with tar and topped of
the Job with 4 bag OF feathers. He was
then released with the injunction to get
out OF town as quick as possible. He
did not hurry ont very fast; but on the
contrary, was here this morning. He
was drunk. and using very profsne and
threatening language about tho usage
he had received and those whom he sup.
posed did II. A sorry looking object he
appeared with the tar sticking all over
his person and matted IN his hair. Hs
swors he would not leave town. and an.
nounced his determination to avenge his
injuries.
However, he changed his mind, and
left on No. 8 for Truckee, the haven Of
all tar refugees. The vigilantes, some
time ago. took o lot Of men, among
whom was Rogers, and gave each Of
them q whipping. supplemented with an
order to leave Reno. After the whip.
ping Rogers went to Truckee and made
threats Of coming back and getting even
on the parties who whipped him.
Several Of the most prominent and 70.
spscted citizens Of Reno he mentioned
a. food for his vengeance. II Is but fair
10 say that these threats were generally
made when Rogers was drunk. Once
before since his oastigation. he returned.
but limited his stay to q few hours. prob.
ably being warned that q longer stay
would be unhealthy. Yesterday found
him In town again, drunk, talking Of his
grievances and making threats against
bis supposed prosecutors. This resulted
In the affair last night and making an.
other episode In the history Of Rsno's
tar bucket.
