A New Master Of Mystery.
3 New York Sum.

Epes Sargent has discovered another spir-
itualistic medium to whom he pins his
faith. The new wonder rs w. q. Rowell,
Of Boston. Mr.. Sargent thus describes the
first feat: f. s.. u
4 "The coat sleeves OF the medium were
tied with twine to remove suspicion of his
using anything there concealed. He then
allowed the whole company TO examine the
fingers OF his right hand. We were free to
wipe, rub with pnmice stone. or wash with
chemicals his index finger. the one he
used. Allowing me to hold one end of a
large slate, while he held the other, the me-
dium then waved his fore finger up and
down four or five times, and using the in
side tip Of it az pencil, immediately COW
cred both aides of the slate with writing, as
If with slate pencil"
The medium also used Mr.. Sargent's fin
ger to write with, and those OF two ladies.
Each felt slight protuberance on the end
Of the finger, as though from blister. One
OF these protuberances was chemically ex.
amined and found to be composed Of albu-
men, starch, phosphate Of lime and phos-
phate Of ammonia, with an amorphous pig
ment matter without any traces Of lead,
slate or other substances ordinarily used
for writing on states. The crowning mar
vel 10 thus described by Mr.. Sargent:
"The states had been carefully washed
by Lady Of the family. The medium
called for . big slate. handed him one
that had been carefully cleaned under my
own inspection ON both surfaces. We
stood up, the medium and ]. close under
the blaze of the chandelier. gIheld one
end of tho slate and he the other. Without
touching tho surface of the slate he made
motions over it with his forefngor in the
air, as II making drawing and then wri-
ting something. / reversed the slate and
on the under surface there was the draw
ing OF . flower"

guments on the Bible, and expressed his
bslief in God as the creator OF all things,
and in Christ as the Savior OF the world.
The latter swore by Darwin's Hypothesis
of Man, Ingersolps Mistakes of Moses and
his book on The Gods.
They laid their creed and books before
the beer-drinking Teuton, who declared
that his religion was to eat, drink and be
merry, and he did not care about any other.
Then taking mp the infidel's book on The

Detective ilswellyr.

The Sioux City Journal Of the 7th does
not believe that W. IT. II. Liewellyn
acted the part Of coward In the capture
Of Doc Middleton, and gives the following
assits version Of his actions
Certain newspapers in the Missouri val
Icy are disgracing themselves and doing a
most unfair thing to w. Fl. II. Llewellyn,
in charging him with cowardice in hiscap-
ture of Middleton. The charge is a most
idle one. Lleweliyn went out into the
robbers lair single handed and alone,
months ago. He formed the acquaintance
OF Middleton, studied his character, made
himself familiar with the character of his
hiding pl aces, and found out his most se-
cret haunts. He pretended 20 be a friend
OF Middleton's, because IN no other way
could he have gained tbs valuable informa-
tion he sought TO obtain. a breath Of sus-
picion Oh tho part Of Middleton or his men
as to The object Of LlewelIyn's business
among them would have insured his lnur-
der at an inssant's warning and yet du-
ring aIl tie weeks he spent ID the country,
he was daily and hourly in danger of some
such discovery being made. he literally
carried his life lii his hands, and the least
mistake. the least untoward accident, might
have laid him on the prairie q bleeding
corpse, and his fate never have been salts
known to his friends. Having
gained all the information he desired, he
returned to the State capital, perfected his
plans, and went out again TO perform the
closing scene in the drama hs had pre-
pared for the public in the months of pa
tient watching and waiting. The result
was as he had anticipated, and mainly
through his cleverness, his courage and
aeuteness as detective, Middleton, the
Niobrara bandit, IL safe In the hands of the
officers. ltwas good work fer Iowa; q

the news would probably have upon the
scredit of the Government. I BE had charge
of the sales Of its securities, and they must
be maintained at any cost to him. No one
knew how extensive was this conspiracy
against the life of the nation az yet, and
the country would hardly recover from the
shock Of the dreadful intelligence for some
days. Mr.. Cookies resolution was soon
taken. Inthose days telegraph ofiices were
not so aumsfons rs now, and be went some.
distance to find one. The nearest one was
at the New York depot and from there he
telegraphsd his agents at New York, Bos-
ton, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and other points
over this country and to London to advance
the price OF government bonds, which were
quoted ct . little below par, half cent
shove the quotations the day before. He
then went to bis Office, and after advising
with those interested with him, be tele-
gfaphed the Secretary of the Treasury in
forming him what he had done, and asked
market. He received NO answer, but in
the afternoon he telegraphed his agents to
advance the price Of bonds quarter of
cent more. In the evening he received a
telegram from Washington saying that
everything was in confusion and the Cabi-
net could net be gotten together.
On Saturday and Monday morning there
was o general shaky feeling among specu-s
lators, and large amounts OF bonds were Of
fsred for sale at the subscription agencies.
These were bought In promptly by Mr..
Cooke until he had purchased between II
and 20 millions of bonds. On Monday bus |
iness was generally suspended, and the
banks and stock markets were closed In |
the morning Mr.. Cooke autographed his |
agents to make another advance of half a |
cent. He also telegraphed his brother, II. |
d. Cooke, at Washington, D. c., to get |
guarantee of support from the Government |
and later in the dayal dispatch from the
Secretary of the Treasury informed him
that he would be fully supported in his op- |
erations. On Tuesday the sales of 7.30s
amounted to $2, 701, 800, and they steadily
increased at prices at or little below par.
AS soon as men saw that Jay Cooke was
taking all that was offered and that prices
were firm and advancing, courage returned,
and the sales and prices Of bonds were /
maintained. II remarked to Mr. Cooke
that he had been taking . great risk, and |
he gently replied that if the price Of bonds
was not sustained they would be returned
from Europe in sueh quantities Us to COM
pletely overwhelm the nation. and il 1t
could not sustain itself and was broken |
down, it mattered little what became of his
property. But % it turned out, NO bonds
came back from Europe, and the impetus |

Last snmmer several private individuals
sum- some wells on the Richmond side of
Ruby Hill, and found a large supply of
water, but il was predicted by some parties
that in a few weeks this water would all be
gone, as they said it came from the X X
mine, and when the water was pumped out
Of that property the wells would be dry,
but this prediction has fell through. The
X X is, comparatively speaking, dry, and
the water in these wells is continuously
rising. 1t rose four feet in one day the
past week.

superintendent ArrinstOn's Report
of Operations.
In his last report to the San Francisco
Office, Mr.. Arlington says: On the sixth
level, extended northwest drift Is feet since
our last; total length 155 feet. The ground
looks a little cavy with good ledge matter
in the face. Within the last ten feet the
quartzite makes quite a turn to the west.
Southeast drift extended 80 feet; total
length OF drift, IA feet; total length Of
drift in ore, fully 6 feet; while we consider
the ore having given out in the last Is feet,
still it has occasionally reappeared i'll
punches. and there is a bunch in the face
to-day which seems to turn to the left al
most at right angles. We concluded
it best to continue the drift straight
ahead for a few feet, after which, If We
do not encounter ore, We Will crosscut
for the hanging wall, before reach
ing which we have strong hopes OF
meeting the ore again. For the past 3
days we have had 2 men ON a shift stopping
the ore body. The stope is now opened 5
feet wide by 10 feet long and about 7 feet
high the width OF the ore holds about 5
feet wide thus far. We have also started
a Wine in the quartzite on the south side
Of the ore body which Wine we shall run
on an incline towards the ledge, SO as to
cut the ore at a depth Of about 25 feet.
There is no special change to note in the
upper works. The winze from the fifth
level to connect with the southeast drift,
sixth level, has been sunk 5 feet since our
last, and is now down As feet.

port"
The Ruby Hill "Mining Report Of yes
terday has the following In company
with Superintendent Porter, We visited the
various levels in this well-known mine.
The immense ore bodies which from time
to time have been opened up in the ground
OF this compan should be the best proof
Of the value of their territory, much Of
which, as yet, has not been explored. On
one Of the upper levels we went into a
chamber from which 81 800, 900 had been
taken. The main shaft is now down 900
feet, which is the greatest depth attained
on the Hill by any single shaft. Drifts
from the Sth and 9th levels are now cut
ting through the quartzite, and it is daily
expected that the head Of the Sth left drift
will strike the ledge. After piercing this
for some distance, branch drifts will be
run for prospecting this ledge matter,
which ID in places 800 feet wide. II may be
the good fortune OF the company to strike
an ore body Immediately upon entering the
ledge matter. The quartzite on the 9th
level gives assays Of from 81 to Sc per ton,
which is very encouraging, and significant
of what may be expected when the head Of
the drift breaks into the great ore-bearing
belt Of breciated limestone, in which the
ore bodies ON Ruby Hill are found.

Says the San Francisco Post: The
experiment of extracting anthony, zinc,
lead, iron and all base metals from refrac-
tory ore, by passing quartz previously
wasted over copper plates heavily charged
with electricity by the Western Electric
Company, a full account Of which was
published in the Post Of Thursday last,
has proven a grand success. Ore which,
under the ordinary process, milled but 50
per ton has been made to 30 up as high as
SIS. The result Of Thursdays trial has
demonstrated the fact that the base metal
in the most refractory ore can be extracted
by electricity, and at a trifiiDg cost per
ton. This discovery will prove a veritable
bonanza to the Company, and will also
permit Of a hundred mines being worked
with profit where there is now but one.
The Company is largely indebted to Thos.
v. Julien, Superintendent of the CONSOLE
dated Esmeralda mine, for the successful
result, that gentleman having made many
improvements upon the originally crude
apparatus used for that purpose. After a
few more tests the Company will, it is un-
derstood, erect extensive reduction works
at Reno or some other point on the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad. contiguous to the
mining districts of Nevada.

as q perfect lady. Last Thursday Mr..
Sutro and family went up to Virginia to

After dinner the inmates OF the hotel we're
startled by screams OF women and calls for
everybody to come and see. A general
rush was made in the direction Of the
cries, which led to the room OF Mrs. Allen,
where Mrs. Sutro was beating her over the
head with a champagne bottle and making
outcries, calling her all sorts OF names.
Friends rushed in aid seized Mrs Sutro,

removed to her room and commenced max

him OF intidelity and OF holding question
able relations with the woman, whom she
