Rich Miners.
Correspondence New York Herald.


After the mines you may look out
for the miners. I venture to predict
that, within year, the glories of the
grandest of your oil kings and your
Nevada Millionaires will pale before the
dazzle of some Colorado miners who
will naturally gravitate frs. to New
York, then to Paris. Their story can
be read in the arabian Nights" You
may form some idea of it from the fact
thatProf. Weisser, who went through
the mines with foot rule measuring
the ore and then assayed samples from
various parts of the veins, reported
that two or three single mines, here con-
tanned each $3.50, 100000 to $4,000, 900
worth of silver, which would be ex-
tracted at small expense. It is said that
Mr.. Mackay's income is $5,O00,OOO a
year. But the income of Gov. Tabor,
who eighteen months ago kept small
grocery store in the village of Orc, and
was exceedingly mellihuous to the
purchaser of a pound Of bacon or 8 cake
Of soap, will probably far exceed this
amount, and his interests are so vast
and so scattered that, as Com. Wander
bilt said in his early California ventures,
he might be robbed of million every
year without knowing it. The cashier
of a small bank came here last NoYem-
Der with nothing, and was in the seventh
heaven on receiving an appointment
of 81 900 a year salary, with board and
lodging. Heis now worth 100000, and
say he will return east in autumn with
100000 and an eighth of mine.
Two Irish laborers, whose widest ambi-
tor last year did not extend beyond
regular work at $3.50 per day, with a
square demijohn Of whisky On. -Satur-
days, are now building very neat houses
on the Avenue de PImperatrice in the
Champ Elysees. The owners of the
Highland Mary would. have been glad
to take $3.50 a few days ago for their
prospects. They struck ore last week,
and have just engaged cook at 1925
month and q waiter at $45. It is diff
fcult, in truth, for these lucky ones to
say what they are worth. A mine will
sell for the ore in sight, and no more.
The purchaser makes no allowance for
what lies beneath and is unseen.

How the Oil Crossed the Hill.
Correspondence of Clinton Herald.

John Ward, one Of the watchmen on
duty during the filling of the new oil
pipe line, gives the following account of
what he saw: The line crosses liners
Run, or it's head-waters, at a place
called McClure's Springs. Here there
is quite hollow or depression in the
ground. From this place to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Holding, some six miles
beyond, there is a gradual rise; this the
oil had to climb after passing the hol-
low at the spring. / was told to watch
we'll this hollow, SIS the oil had ascend
ed the Kettle Creek Mountain, and was
coming. REPAIRED to the hollow, and
lay some hours there when | heard a
sound like q heavy wind, and presently
heard the oil gurgling past. l waited
some time. There was no leakage, and
all seemed perfect.
/ thought that the pipe line was a
success Tor sure, and so left my position
and passed along to see If it was all
right ahead. I had gone some two
miles when / received dispatch to
watch well the hollow and not to leave
it for some time, so | fastened back.

feet high, and hundreds of barrels run

received dispatch to hasten to Han

procured a horse and went with all
speed. When / arrived the people
there were greatly excited. The pipe
was throbbing and whizzing at every
pore. Mcclure springs were no.

the pipe for miles. | made no attempt
to calk. [ knew from my experience
at McClure's Springs, that the oil had
reached and was climbing the high
mountain below Pine Creek. but the
pressure was SO great that I feared

man power was Of no aNail, hence we
only stood and looked on, when sud-
denly, as quick as thought, all commo-
ton ceased, except sucking in of air,

pipe, and knew it had crossed over the
mountain and was speeding its way to
Williamsport, with no more mountains
to climb, and that the Oil line was an
established fact. .--. ri .a.a

Italian Girls.
FOrney's Progress.

The girls Of Italy do many things
our young ladies would not think Of
doing, and they leave unlearned certain
accomplishments which only the very
poorest American fair ones pass by.
The Italian bride makes her own outfit,
and, as the rousseau consists Of six doz-
en- of everything, being intended to last
twenty-five years, and all must be en-
broidered and frilled, the task is not an
easy one. But they take their time to
it, occupying two years in getting it in
shape, and all the while the work goes
on the lovers are counting. The nus
band gives the dresses, shawls, every
thing, in fact, but the Undertaking.
Italian girls do not learn to sing, draw,
and play the piano. These are left to
people who earn their living by them.
But they are taught how to sew, cook
and iron. ...ta sairas 1uc H. s Is
