LEOPARD.
Since the date of last report We have
turned the course OF the main drift in
the 500 level SO it will cut the ledge
about thirty feet south of where L. was
cut with the cross-cut. The face is now
showing quartz and water, indicating
that We are very near the ledge. The
raise from the 800 is up 90 fee. and is
being pushed ahead as fast as possible.
The air Is close and until the conuec-
tion is made is with the 700 level pro-
sress will be slow. The Slopes between
the GO and 700 levels are doing better
than We expected. The vein gets
smaller as it goes toward the Coz level.
Ore is good. The mill is running wall.

Substitutes for Liquor.

A curious feature of the operation of
the no-license law of Norwich, Conn, is
the substitute by drinkers of other slim
uiants in the place of liquors Perhaps
the most natural substitute of all is
Jamaica ginger. The extract has about
double the alcoholic strength of whisky,
and it is q medicine in constant demand
sd kept by all druggists; it makes a
very satisfactory substitute for the hab-
itual old topper, who is bound to get

this way TO considerable exte- *

| Much is said of late about railway
pools. To-" pool'' the business of COM
peting roads is to introduce q kind of
cooperative system, so as to secure for
each an equitable proportion, thus do
ing away with the motive for cutting
rates. 1t is a modern invention, APP
proved by some as cordially as it is de-
nounced by others. As generally under
stood, pooling is in the interest of the
stockholders and to the detriment of
those who profit-from competition. In
other words, it inflicts upon the public
the evils of a monopoly, qualified by the
advantages of uniform rates among the
various Shippers. The plan, in brief, is
for the several corporations concerned
the trunk lines acting as prinsipals-
to furnish the :. Pool Commissioner, :"
or chief officer in charge of the pool,
with manifests of the freight carried by
them respectively from day to day, af-
fording data from which to determine
whether any particular road is receiving
business in excess Of its proportion of
any special class of goods. II so the
excess is corrected by turning over the
surplus to other roads in the COM
bination by official authority. The
amount to be thus turned over is de-
cided by taking the aggregate of the
business "captlre" ina given time by
each of the parties to the pool, prior to
the organization, as basis for calcula-
ton. Each is entitled to an amount
proportional to the business done when
working independently. As to details
OF the arrangement, it can only be said
that no two pools are worked on the
same plan, the system varying accord
ing to the caprices Of managers. To
meet the expenses each party must pay
pro rata, corresponding to its share of the
business.
The New York Pool, under Commits
sioner Fink, heads the list in score or
more East and West, this officer usually
acting as chairman in all important de-
liberations. He is man of large expe-
rience in railroading, q German BY birth,
and up to the time this pool was estab-
lished, some two years ago, was Vice.
President of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. He holds the appointment,
for five years, at salary of $40, 900 per
annum. Under him are Secretary and
90 accountants, who occupy suite of
Offices on the highest floor Of the New
York Life Insurance Company, wholly
removed from observation. The OBJ
scure sign on one of the doors, the mar
row wooden stairway and all the APP
purtenances of the place indicate de
sire to be let alone, while the Chief and
his clerks quietly but assidaously man
age business of enorups.s proportions.

\ strange phenomenon was wit messed here last Saturday Ut about s o'clock p. m. 4 very bright light burst upon us from. the Zenith so suddenly as to startle every one who beheld 1t. II was a meieorolite, and Its course was westward, or south west. It's velocity was so great that itcAussd a peculiar buzzihg sound as It rushed through the heavens. About midway between the Zenith sa3 horizon 1t burst ngo pieces, the sparks flying in every direction. From thence, until 1t struck the earth, 1t descended in three frag- menrs. While oar people were spec ulatiog as to the nature of this visit CT from the aerial regions, Q terrific explosion was heard which caused the earth to trem5Ie. l. was feared by some that the quartz min had blown up. Our savants are convinc- ed that meteoric stone has struck ihe eafsh at no great distance, and ail are anxious to hear reports from .he west. We have heard several persons declare that they would walk ere hundred miles if necessary in or der to obtain a fragment of this noc- turual visitor It would, indeed, constitute a valuable addition to cab iao1s and contribute to scientific knowledge. AS these phenomena are of rare occurrence, science has not yet satisfied us as to whence they come. Are they small struggling fractures of asteroids /? Are they volcanic matter hurled from the crate of our neishbrgng satellite with such velocity as to force them beyond it's own attraction, or do they issue from volcanoes of the earth ?
