The City Of Silver.

A correspondent of the Hartford
Times, writing from Golden, jefferson
County, Col, thus describes Leadville,
the newest Rocky Mountain FL Dorado
Leadville, with her wealth of silver, is
about $500 feet above sea level so you
will perceive it is not all that can live
up there, to say nothing of working.
Some go over there and are only too glad
to get back. as they cannot stand the
high latitude, the air being too light for
their unaccustomed lungs to breathe.
There are scores of men in Leadville
worth from $4,000 to 500, 1000, who a
year ago scarce knew the appearance of
a FIVE dollar note. The enormous
amount of carbonate of silver is not
found in veins, but in deposit of from
two to thirty feet thick, two and half
miles wide. and known to extend from
Leadville to Ten Mile, a distance of
eighteen miles, with the probability of
being much larger.
There has already been much sickness,
caused chiefly by exposure. And no
wonder. The wonder is that SO many
have survived. A man is lucky to get
permission to stretch himself and his
blankets under cover by paying dollav
Every man provides himself with

Tabor managed to live by supplying the
miners with such goods as are usually

a stroke of luck at Leadville, he owns

burg" and is said to have an income of
$50, 900 per week. As Lieutenant Gov
ernor of the State he gave a reception to
the Executive and the two legislative
houses on the Sth, which must have
cost what would be small fortune to
most men. The output of silver last
year was already greater than that of
Clear Creek County, which has hitherto
been the great silver-producing center
of the State.

Using Crude OIL az Fuel.

A letter from Bradford, Pa, says
Scarcity of fuel in portions of the north
ern oil field has given an impetus to the
consumption of crude oil for other than
illuminating purposes, and Salisbury's
scheme for burning it under boilers is at
least considered worthy of respectful
consideration. 1t may seem paradoxical
to state that wood is costly and hard to
get in the middle of heavily timbered
region, but such is the case.
There are not wood-choppers enough
in CHS over-c crowded field, and teams are
too busy hauling well supplies to be
readily obtainable to transport fuel. A
remedy for this evil appears to have
been found in the use of crude oil as a
heat generator, and several patent
burners have been devised to meet the
want. In measure they are successful,
and with still further elaboration would
be almost universally used with oil at
prices under three dollars.
In several factories and refneries
they have established strong foothold
and banished wood and coal. Several
litigations for alleged infringement of
patents have arisen, as in many in
stances producers have been so charmed
with the operation of the patented
article that they have proceeded to man.

A Former Suex Canal.

The idea of canal through the
Isthmus of Suez was considered prac-
ticable, and the excavation actually
commenced, upwards of twenty-five
hundred years ago; and in the reign Of
Ptolemy Philadelphus, King of Egypt,
two hundred years before the Christian
era, the union of the two seas was per
fected. This canal passed very nearly
along the same track as its modern sue
cessor, entering the Red Sea, near the
site of the present town of Suez, and
was of sufficient depth and breadth to
allow of the passage of galleys of con-
siderable size. Moreover, it is histor-
ical fact that in the year 81 B. c., Gle
opatra, after the battle of Actium,
seeing that the forces of Egypt were
unable to resist those OF Rome, at
tempted to take her feet through into
the Red Sea, with view of escaping
into distant land, project which
failed in consequence of the ARGOS, in
habiting that part of the country the
canal passed through. The canal existed
for several centuries after Cleopatra's
time, but became gradually blocked up
and obliterated by the uncomfortable
sand

Unnatural Showers.

Tradition tells many stories OF showers
which were not showers of rain. 1t is
stated by an old writer that in Lapland
and in Finland, about century ago,
mice of particular kind were known
to fall from the sky; and that such an
event was sure to be followed by a good
year for foxes. A shower of frogs fell
near Toulouse in 1907. A prodigious
number of black insects, about one inch
in length, descended in snow storm at
Pakrofi, Russia, in 1927. On one occa-
sion in Norway, the peasants were as
tonished at finding shower of rats
pelting down ON their heads. Showers
of fishes have been numerous. At
Sanstead, in Kent, in 1866, a pasture
field was found one morning plentifully
covered with fish, although there is
neither sea, nor river, lake, nor fish
pond near. In several other places
these showers of fish have occurred and
can generally be explained by well un-
derstood causes. Strong wind blown
from sea or river; water spout licking
up the fish out of the water; whirl-
wind sending them hither and thither
all these are Ineligible.
The rat shower in Norway was an ex-
traordinary one; thousands of rats we're
taking their annual excursion from a
billy region to the lowlands, when a
whirlwind took them up and deposited
them in field al some distance; doubt
less much to the establishment Of such
of the rats as came down alive. Natur-
alists have proved that the showers of
blood are connected with some phenom.

Food OF Nevada Indians.

The Indians of Nevada rely mainly
for food on the pine cones or nuts that
grow in great abundance in the pine
forests. The trees are small, rarely ex-
ceeding fifteen feet in height when full
grown, but in fruitful seasons yield
enormous quantities of coEes. These
are dried and made into bread, or roasted
whole. The Indians 90 to the harvest

Tea Culture in the South.

A Baltimore tea merchant is doing the
tour ofthe South, making Investigations
in regard to tea culture. He thinks that
Americans should notattempt to initiate
the China green tea, with its coloring
and fancy twisting, but confine them
selves to curing the leaf so as to obtain
the best possible cup of tea without re-
gard to appearance. Besides the work
of twisting, that of sorting the tea ac-
cording 70 shape and size can, he thinks,
be dispensed with to advantage, simpli-
flying greatly the process Of prcpara-
ton, and as greatly diminishing the cost.
The cultivation of the tea plant in
Georgia, he declares from his experience
of several years in China and Japan, is
perfectly practicable, and I'D offers one
dollar pound for all leaves shipped to
his firm (Messrs. Martin Gillet & Co.,
Baltimore), the firm engaging to do the

Discovery Of Gold In Colorado.

A correspondent of the Troy Times
writes: Tradition tells us of old trap
pers and Indian traders who enriched
themselves with golden treasures from
beyond the vast plains and far up in the
wild canons of the Rocky Mountains /;
but we have no reliable information of
the existence of gold in what is now
Colorado previous to 1852. In the
Summer Of this year Cherokee Indian,
with party of his tribe on their way to
California, discovered gold on the banks
of Ralston's creek. After this, the
Cherokees sought for the shining metal
along the Platte River and its tributa-
ries, and succeeded in finding it in small
particles, some of which were carried TO
Georgia, where a portion of the tribe
remained. On their way back to
Georgia through the States they exhib-
tied the glittering dust, and told wonder
full stories of the rich deposits along the
banks and in the beds Of the rivers and
creeks. In the Winter of 1868 Green
Russell, a miner of considerable expert
ence, left Georgia with nine others and
arrived on the headwaters of Cherry
Creek in June following. AT Kansas
wy, miocouii, Wills party was Joihou w
another, making the whole number who
crossed the plains together about one
hundred persons. The Kansas City
party became discouraged and returned,
but Russell's little band had implicit
confidence in their enthusiastic leader,
who was fully convinced that gold
existed in paying quantities in the
Rocky Mountains and along the course
of streams that flowed from these
rugged ranges, and they were eventually
rewarded by finding the long-sought-for
treasure on Dry Creek, within few
miles of which is now the City of
Denver, the capital of the State, con-
tanning population of about twenty
five thousand. The first paying pan. of
dirt was washed by Green Russell him
self, and yielded three dollars in gold.
This settled the question, and glowing
accounts of the richness of the new
Ell Dorado were heralded all over the
country. Such was the beginning
Now, after the lapse of twenty years,
the production of gold and silver aggre
gates more than eighty million dollars.
Down to 1858 little was known of
Colorado, except by the explorer and
the poor Indian. In the Spring of 1859
a large number of hardy pioneers,
attracted by the reports of wonderful
discoveries of gold near Pixies Peak,
came to this wild region with high hopes
of finding the precious metal in great
abundance. But, alas, nearly all were
doomed to disappointment, and after
enduring great hardships and privations
returned to the States.

they are very anxious to keep every one
