GOLD UNDER THE OCEAN.
IN. Y. Sun, April 1lth.l

The 500 ton brig Gipsy lies at the foot
OF East Forty first street, with her yards
cock-billed and jibboom run inboard.
Her deck is strewn with instruments for
dragging. graphing and hoisting in deep
water. A powerful engine for lifting
heavy weights stands in the waist, just
forward of the mainmast. Captain Fol-
ingsby is in command. In few days
the Gipsy will sail for Barbados, for
which port she cleared yesterday, Thence
she will run down the Spanish main to
the Island of Caracas, near which
island Spanish ship of war, with $2.-
600, 900 aboard was wrecked in gale
nearly fifty years ago. The treasure was
intended for the payment of the Spanish
troops fighting in Venezuela and New
Granada, and it is this wealth that the
Gipsy will endeavor to recover. Captain
Folingsby visited the region before for
the same purpose, but his graphing and
diving apparatus was not of the proper
kind, and after picking about S., 900 out
OF the soft, sandy bottom, he returned
to this country to obtain better outfit.

expedition and furnish part of the cap.

If We are willing to risk our lives
and property in what seems to be fool
hardy undertaking." said the Captain
"it need not distress any one. We are
able to take care of ourselves. If VI
succeed, there will be plenty of persons
to congratulate us; and If we go to the
bottom we don't want anybody to mourr
for u.s."
It is said that the Venezuelan Govern
ment is to receive five per cent. OF tn
treasure found.

TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.
[Arizonia Citizen, April 1871

Surveyor. General John Wasson has
just returned from a visit to Tombstone
Mining District, to the mill-sires on the
San Pedro and to the southern and
southeastern slopes of the Huachuca
mountains. He says that the object of
his visit was to notice the general charao-
teristics of the sections of country named.
as he had never before seen them. AL.
though disposed to be "bear" in min
ing matters, he says the Tombstone
mines have never been as highly repre-
sented as their actual merits plainly
justify, and that the owners of leading
claims there have been absolutely modest
in speaking OF them. His time was
limited to less than whole day. and
therefore only made personal ins Aac-
tion Of are Tough Nut, Contention and
Lucky Cuss. and took hasty glance at
some others. The ore in sight in the
mines named is immense. and of its rich
ness the assayers all testify and the ap-
pearance of the ore indicates the accuracy
of their testimony. Numerous assays
are daily made from average samples
taken from the faces of the shafts and
tunnels as they are advanced by the min
ers. These assays are not made for SELL
ing or marketable purposes, but to daily
know the value of the ore and to ascer.
tain any changes of the component parts
that may occur. The results are not
given to the public, but it is clearly
known that they average up in the hun
dreds and frequently reach thousands.
There is gOodly proportion Of gold
in the ore generally. Night and day
shifts OF men are employed on the Lucky
Cuss and Contsnti0n, and perhaps on
the Tough Nut. but the latter claim has
already been 80 we'll developed and has
so much rich ore on the various dumps
that very small force of miners can
supply a ten-stamp mill for years to
come. The Tough Nut and Lucky Cuss
ranging from few feet to rs, and the
Contention has two shafts 100 and 11O
feet respectively, with 250-foot tunnel
and some crcsscuts on the 110.foot level,
and all the work is done in the exact
order of permanent and economical de-
velopment. These three mines are
specially mentioned because they are the
most developed, although many others
have shafts and tunnels OF various sizes
up to rs feet, and they exhibit the most
satisfactory quantities and qualities Of
ore. We're this district in Nevada, Cali
fornia, Utah or Colorado, Mr.. Wasson is
convinced that 10000 men and millions
OF capital would be invested before an
other year opens. It is very easy of &C.
osss from all sides. The cost Of roads
is nominal. Mining is generally easy.
The climate is admirable. Water for all
but milling purposes is easily obtained
by digging wells, and of the bes. quality.

The Burlington young ,nan whe went
to Leadville in February, to make his
fortune, returned home yesterday even
ing having made it. He reports the
walking from Leadville to Pueblo ter
rlble, but from that point as far east as
Larned it improved, and from Larned to
Usage City he got along with compare
lively little fatigue and nothing to eat !;
from Usage City to Atchison the walking
grew rapidly worse. and his fatigue in
creased out OF all proportions to his
rations, and from Hopkins to Burlino.
ton the walking was so beastly that the
occasional lifts he was able to beg or
steal On freight trains didn't count for
anything. He expresses himself az
highly pleased with Leadville, and
thinks of going back again, but not this
century. He excused the style of his
raiment by saying that nobody in Lead
vile wore any more than ono leg to their
pantaioons.-( Burlington Hawkeye.

A man named Thompson, but known
as "Old Sockem," resident of Plumas
county. California, for quarter of a
century, was fatally hurt by the fall of o
rock in mining camp at Dutch Hill last
week. He has always been very dis
sipated man, but would now and then
have several hundred dollars that no one
could account for. After he was hurt,
the National says, he made a confession
that when younger man he was rail
road engineer and was hired to throw a
train from the track, and succeeded so

was himself badly injured. He received

in need of money the Eastern parties

BY reference to the above it will be seen
that the maximum rainfall. II 81 inches, &C.
Cured ia June of 1874, but the records show
that the heaviest fall for any one twenty -four
hours was fraction over two inches.
During last month the maximum fall was
us inches, but only 1.27 inches on any one
day. The above clearly indicates how heavy
the late storm was; within twenty -four hours
the precipitation was Gil inches which ex-
ceeds the maximum fall during, with three
or four exceptions, the last 8 years, in any
one month.
The above figuring is explicit enough, per-
haps, but it doesn't carry conviction as to
the extent of the storm and its force until the
damages are mentioned as seen.
"What's tho damage?" was the universal
question asked yesterday morning. In reply
everybody had something to relate, and
coupled 1t with forebodings of heap more.
The GLOBE instituted systematic inquiry,
and gives synopsis of the Investigations as

sewerage in many portions of the city, caused
several serious wash outs to the streets.

And General Smash-Up of Things,
Owing to Too Much Water.
In st. .P0uk.
Patter, patter let it pour

Patter, patter let it roar
For the twenty-four hours beginning at
500 o'clock A. M. Wednesday morning and
ending at 6:30 o'clock yesterday, Thursday
morning, "patter" had it all it's own way.
During the time stated the rainfall was un-
precdented within the recollection of the
Oldest inhabitants. Mr.. Kellogg, the wealth
er seer, recollects nothing to cor
respond to the late down. pour
ing since he came to this
State, and it may be mentioned that Mr..
Kellogg meets regularly with the Old Set
tiers.
Every man, woman and child knows how
the rain came down, beginning with driz-
zle, 1t at times came down in sheets of
water with the force of water-spout. The
remark was hazarded by hundreds, ikening
the rainfall to deluge, and everybody
said the like had never hap
body, for once, was right. Such
rain never happened in Minnesota before.
At any rate there's no record of such q
water fall, and remembrance is taxed in vain
to recall like occurrence within the mem
DRY of the earliest settler. This becomes
more apparent when the record as far back
as it has been kept is reverted to. For nine
years the United States signal corps, or the
sergeant observer in this city, has kept
record of the daily rainfall in this local
ity. His books fail to show anv
rain within that period for twenty -four hours
which begins to compare in copiousness with
the rain of Wednesday.
From $3.50 o'clock A. NJ, Wednesday, the
I'd inst. to 6:3O o'clock A. M. Thursday, the
Sd inst, the rainfall Iamounted to 511 inches!
Observations were taken at times dur
ing the prevalence of the rain with the
following results: Wednesday,at $50 o'clock
A. NJ, rainfall, 10 inches at $3.50 o'clock P.
NJ, .OS inches rainfall; at $50 O'Clock p. NJ,
rainfall 1928 inches.
Thursday-At $50 o'clock A. M. rainfall,
$40 inches,
Or, as stated, making total rainfall of
ell inches on the level within tho twenty
four hours. AS seen from the above obser
vations, the heaviest rainfall occurred during
the hours from 10 O. clock P. M. to the last
observation, likely the heaviest rain happen
ed between and o'clock A. NJ.
In this connection it is not amiss, to helm
in comparing, to publish the record of pre-
cipitation during the months of June and
July for the nine years during which the
signal corps has taken observations here, as

Ramsey County Bonds.

A meeting of the committee on ways and
means of the county board was held yester-
day forenoon, Mayor Dawson in the chair.
The object of the meeting was explained by
the chair, who called attention to the neces-
sity of raising money on the remaining $780,
600 bonds for the completion of the Fort
Smelling bridge.
After an interesting discussion it was
deemed best to deposit the bonds with one
of the city banks, and draw the money as
the work progressed on the bridge.
Bids were received from the Second Ma.
tional bank for $4,000 at par, and from the
First National for $40, 900 at par conditional
on having all of the bonds. The bondsSto
be subject to payment by the county at any
time upon paying the accrued interest. They
were awarded to the First National.

The Dickens Homestead.

Everybody will regret to learn that Mr..
Charles Dickens, Jr., has found himself
obliged to advertise for sale the famous
house at Gadsbill which was the chief trophy
of his fathers literary success. 1t is by all
means to be hoped that if the house must
pass out of the hands of the
novelist's. family it may be under as
many guarantees as can be had for
snch thing in this shifting world of retain
ing the characteristics which were given to
it by the novelist. Dickens purchase
of Gadshiil was not so ambitious work,
nor did it have so melancholy an endiag. as
Scott's acquisition of Abbatsford; but It is
sad enough to reflect that the homes os
the most popular writer's of English
fiction should pass away from
their families, in one case before the death
OF the novelist and in the other within ten
years after it. Dickens library, however,
remains as public possession, thanks to
the foresight and public spirit of the widow
OF John Gorsier in transferring it during
her own lifetime to the museum at South
Kensinoton.

Especial by Telephone.l
MINNEAPOLIS, July 4, 3 A. M.-About IL
o'clock last night GLOBE reporter heard
rumor to the effect that terrible railroad
accident had occurred on the Minneapolis g.
St. Louis railroad, just outsids the city,
early in the evening. The reporter started
for the scene, and after tramp of
three-quarters of an hour, arrived
at the wreck, near the Mont
tor pillow works. In the bright moonlight
was seen one of the worst looking wrecks
the scribe has seen for some time. It seems
that the o'clock mixed train on the Minne-
apolis & St. Louis road left Minneap-
oils on time, and was composed
of twenty-five loaded freight cars,
three passenger cars and one baggage car,
drawn by the locomotive John S. Pillsbury,
No. z, Barney Bohan, engineer. The names
Of the fireman and conductor could not be
ascertained, owing to the retlcence of the
railroad men upon the discovery that re-
porter was among them. The train was
broken in the middle, and cars heavily loaded
with flour, bran, agricultural imple-

in violent confusion. It is supposed that
broken truck under the fifth car from the
engine caused the accident. When this car
flew the track the others were hurled with
tremendous force against each other and
were tumbled around in every direction as if
weighing no more than match boxes. The
cars were thrown on their sides, on
end, across the track and ono was
detached. The trucks were thrown off and
smashed, and the cars SO badly used no that
it became necessary to tear them to pieces
in order to get the freight out and clear the
track of the wreck. The Minneapolis & St.
Louis, and the St. Paul & Pacific track, run
ming parallel with it, were torn up for
distance of 200 feet. The rails
were twisted and doubled up
in all shapes, while the ties were scattered
about like leaves before the wind Forth
nately no one was killed, although some of
the brakemen we're thrown from the train,
and it believed that two of them, whose
names could not be learned, were seriously
injured. A wrecking party of about
seventy-five men under the direction
of Thomas Downing, master mechanic
of the St. Paul & Pacific, and Superinten-
dent Gaylord of the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
railroad, were at work all night, and will
probably have the track cleared off by noon
to-day. The passengers.on the incoming
train on the Minneapolis Il st. Louis road
were brought from the scene of the dis
aster in omnibuses, arriving here at 2
o'clock A. NJ.
