THE compilation Of the com
promise between the Sutro Tunnel
and mining companies will create
employment for between 800 and 500
men at the town of Sutro alone, for
the next sixty or ninety days; while
a. many more will probably be re-
auired in Virginia and Gold Hill, to
run the lateral drifts which are to
connect the mines with the tunnel.

CoMSTOCK CONSOLIDATION.
The Principal Mines on the Great
Lode to be Combined into One
Company, Whose Stock Will be
Put Upon the New York Board.

Early in last year We were the first
to announce that scheme was on
| foot to consolidate all the principal
| mines on the Comstock lode. Our
information was very direct. But, as
usual, the parties in interest declared
there was no truth in the report. 1t
now, however. leaks out that gil
gantic scheme is really under way,
for combining the mining properties
on the Comstock lode, with the view
of putting the Consolidated stock
upon the New York market. The
tactics of the Bonsuza Kings in the
meantime have been to depress the
prices of the various securities. All
accounts agree that there is plenty of
ore in several of the mines which
have ceased to pay dividends, notably
in Consolidated Virginia, California
and Belcher. The bonanza firm now
control the Utah, the Sierra Nevada,
the Union Consolidated, the North
Consolidated Virginia, the Mexican,
the Ophir, the Consolidated Virginia,
the Belcher, Best & Belcher, Hale &
Norcross, Savage, Chollar Potosi,
Segregated Belcher, Bullion, Alta,
Justice, and all the other mines on
the Comstock where there j. any
probability of rich ore being discov-
cred. 1t is understood that they are
quietly buying up the stock of all
the outlying Comstock mines, and
that in this arrangement are several
leading New York capitalists. The
names Of William H. Lent, James
r. Keene, Russell Sage, Jay Gould,
D. o. Mills and other well-known
operators are mentioned in connec
ton with the proposed putting Of
this mammoth consolidated corpora
ton upon this market. 1t has been
found that the Eastern people absorb
with avidity any good property Of
fered in this market that seems to
be well backed. The success Of
the Homestake in running up within
four months from $50 to $35, of the
Standard from $50 to $2S before it
is even called at the Stock Exchange;
the fact that the original subscribers
to Ontario have received back all
their money in dividends while the
price of the stock has doubled-these
facts have created new thirst for
we'll backed mining properties. and
hence this propos;tion TO float the
consolidated bonanza mines upon the
New York mar1et It;snnderstood

The Dumb Speak.

The most wonderful event for many
months occurred at Ft. Sanders on
Saturday, or at least first came to the
knowledge of Laramie. The daughter
of Gen. Flint, commanding at TT. Sand
ers, has for nearly six years been entire
ly speechless, her voice having deserted
her in moment and without apparent
cause. A short time since the young
lady with a number of post people start
ed out on camping tour through Colo
RADIO, and while at Denver the miracu-
lous part of the whole matter occurred,
the power to articulate returning to
Miss Flint as suddenly as it went away.
None but those who have experienced a
similar misfortune for 50 long a time,
can ever know what a wonderful sensa-
ton it must have created in the Generals
family when on Saturday the daughter
returned to her home, and for the first
time in six years spoke the name Of those
who had almost lost all hope that they
would ever hear her voice again. The
many friends Of the family will unite
with them in rejoicing over the happy
occurrence Laramie Times.

Electricity in Morning GlOries.

Last evening gentleman of this city
accidentally made most singular dis
covery respecting the electrical influence
of the ordinary morning-glory vines.
Seated near the lattice work over which
the vine was trained, his attention was
attracted to a single little branch tipped
with growing line extending straight
out from the rest, and speculated within
himself whether the tiny hairs with
which the stem was clothed were not
placed there for the purpose of conduct
inc the electric fluid of the atmosphere
to the plant. In order to continue his
investigation, he approached his finger
within a half an inch of it, and was
amazed to observe a Slight-almOst i'm
perceptible, yet unmistakable-motion
of the stem. As he pushed his finger a
little nearer, the stem trembled very visi-
blv, and was seemingly attracted and
repelled from him. The hairs which he
noticed before did not move, but re-
NAMED erect. There was no wind at
the time, and the motion was purely an
induced one. After this interesting eX-
pertinent he placed the end of his finger
within short distance of the growing
bud, and slowly moved it in a circular
direction. The stem followed the mo-
ton until it was bent in the shape Of a
letter C, and, when the finger was with
drawn, instantly regained its former
straight position. This last experiment
was witnessed by several persons, all of
whom tried it, with varying success
