A FLOODED PREACHER.


Gin Sling was the name OF a mining camp.
1t is not exactly known whether this name
was derived from a Chinaman who was run
out of his diggings by the miners when the
camp was started, or from the ~well-known and
popular drink of that title. The Chinainan
hypothesis is the most tenable, as there are
many Cinnamon named GIN Sling, and in the
camp of Gin Sling they did not drink gin
Slings, but took whisky straight, to save the
bar-keeper trouble. The people of Gin Sling
always displayed consideration for the bar
keeper. as he was the only man in the camp
who owned "a diamond pin and "A bull dog.
On this bull dog hangs a tale. Most bull dogs
wear their tails amputated, to keep off adj
vantages, and this dog, whose name was Tar
antula, had Il stump tail.
There had never been any preaching at Gin
Sling, though there We're two monte games. "a
faro bank, chuck-a-luck. rondcau, keno and
vignt-ugn running in the saloon for the diver
sion Of the "boys."
The Rev. Mr.. McGilvary used to range
through the section in which Gin Sling was
situated, sowing the seeds of the Gospel and
occasionally taking Il hand At poker. Gin
Sling was off his regular route, and the Gin
SINGERS felt sore that Mr.. Mc(iilvary had
not thought their camp of sufficient impor-
lance to be entitled to an occasional visit.
Discussing the subject in the saloon one
night, one of the boys suggested that they
ought To gel up IL subscription, lis ii guaranty
of a good house. and invite The preacher over
to Gin Sling some Sunday to helch Bible
talk, as he put il. The bar keeper said he
would start the ball rolling with an ounce.
Other subscr plions poured in. and in Il short
time three hundred dollars was subscribed.
This sum was voted a respectable stake, for d

TRIUMPH,

A late number Of the Chicago Inter- Ocean,
III the course Of a carefully prepared scientific
article on the merits of Edison's electric
light, gives a full and intelligent description
OF the new illumination, as we'll as a history
OF the experiments which the great inventor
made before his ambition to secure a perfect
light was finally realized. The greatest liter
Sry, diplomatic and military triumphs pale
into inslgnificance when compared with the
recent achievement of the Menlo Park
scientist, for unquestionably the electric light
will prove one of the grandest and most use
full inventions the world has ever known,
According to the Inter-Ocean's report Edison
has Succeeded in producing an illuminator
soft, mellow, but brilliant-which can be
utilized for all purposes Of illumination, both
indoor and out, in public and private houses,
and at a cost no greater than that of the
cheapest oil. This is done with machinery
no more complicated than that employed IN
the manufacture of gas, and so arranged as to
be easily transmitted by central machines,
and without waste, over a large territory. lii
cities where gas mains are already in use,
they can be employed for trasmitting the new
light, while the gas fixtures in use can be
altered to admit this novel illuminator with
very slight expense. The light is steady,
odorless, without smoke or flame, gives out
little heat, is devoid of danger, requires no
matches to ignite, and is, indeed, a little sun
in itself for every household. The lamps
used are simple in construction, and the Or
binary table lamp costs but twenty-five cents.
The extinguishing of one light does not affect
the Others in the least, and, by an ingenious
device, the electricity used by each house can
be measured or computed the same as is now
done by the gas-meter. BY constructing the
generating machine a power is generated
capable of performing light work, such as
running sewing machines, pumping water,
etc. To run an ordinary sewing machine re-
quires the exhaustion of only as much cleo
tricity as is required for one jet of light, and
the power is obtained by attaching the wheel
OF the sewing machine to the apparatus by a
little belt, and merely touching a Knob con-
v~eniently arranged.

MINING CLAIMS.


The Washington correspondent of the Chi
0 Inter. Ocean writes to that journal as
" concerning the laws likely to be pas
by the present Congress, to regulate the
alton and ownership of mines:
Some time during the present session a
lort will be submitted by the Public Land
Lnmission, appointed during the last session
the purpose of preparing a codifcation of
public land laws, together with such rec
mendations as the commission may see fit
make touching the disposal Of public lands
.ctual settlers.
After devoting a great deal of time to a
eful examination of the subject, the men,
Is of the commission are engaged in the
marathon of their report. One subject that
received especial attention at the hands
the commission relates to laws regulating
requisition If mineral lands, and the opin-
of the commission, and the recommended
rs it intends TO make upon this subject, will
of peculiar interest to western capitalists,
ne of whom are owners in OF of mines.
csc recommendations, as embodied in the
posed report, point to a very radical
nge in the of locating claims, the
wed object of which is to dispense, if pos
lie, with the immense mount of litigation
king over the present method.
Under the now existing laws,the locator of
aim is allowed to follow a lode, if started
hin his WI boundaries, to any distance
in any direction, thus often traversing a
phboring claim. This leads to frequent
long-continued litigation. The proposed
lnge contemplates an alleged improvement
his respect by applying the common law
E to mineral claims, combining the owners
certain surface boundaries. The commas
b will report in favor of square location,
owing each claimant to pre- -empt a square
&c OF land of prescribed dimensions, and
timing him to a certain surface line, not
hitting him to vary from a given perpen-
ular, determined by the surface boundary
his claim. Now, while Of course this CAN
affect any vested claim, it will be strongly
posed by some of the heaviest mining com
lies in the West. The bonanza men, and
Ter large miners are already arranging to
Ike a strong fight, with the intention of
ling this particular recommendation ofthe
omission. OF course, the principal objec-
bs come from those sections of the country

pwn by miners as " blanket mines," where
ore spreads horizontally, as, for instance,
Leadvillc mines. The opponents to this

localities, as the formation of the ore diff

New YoaK, August The Times COM
msnts as follows: The very latest sxpe-
dent for getting rid Of the Chinese In
California 10 to tax the Six Companies
out OF existence. These companies are
the guilds to which all Chinese arriving
In the Pacific States are attached. 1t Is
represented to the State Board Of Equal
ization, by memorial. that the Six Com.
panies shave and hold absolute control
over the bodies and liberties Of all the
Chinese" and that therefore they must
be extremely rich. and that instead Of
their being assessed at O moderate valua-
ton, they should pay taxes on $22. OO0..
600. or some such modest sum. OF
course 1t Is expected that this excessive
rate of taxation will be resisted. but as
this would only lead to the seizure and
conHscation of Chinese property In Ban
Francisco, the desired end-the eviction
Of the Chinsmsn-would be reached, and
the Chinese problem would DO solved.
