A House of Gold Rricks.

There is certain brick building in
Cheyenne, not a thousand miles from
the Leader Office, which is almost worth
its weight in gold. The bricks in its
walls are at least impregnated with the
precious metal to a valuable extent. The
discovery was made accidentally by u
gentleman who has an office near by.
He frequently noticed shining yellow
particles in the bricks, and imagining
that the colors were gold, he took out
brick from the wall for the purpose of
ascertaining the facts. This brick he
first pulverized and then "panned out F"
the colors. He could not get rid of all
the dirt, and concluded to send the
residuum to an assayer in Denver. In
few days the assay certificate arrived
and showed that there was thirty eight
cents worth of gold in the brick. The
gentlemen then took out two other
bricks in different parts of the building
and pulverized and PANIED them rs he
did the first. The same assayer gave his
certificate as follows: Sample Ne. l,
gold, forty-seven cents; sample No. .,
gold, twenty-four cents. With remark
able secrecy the gentleman proceeded to
learn whence came the bricks. After
considerable inquiry it was learned that
the bricks were made in yard that was
formerly situated on Crow creek, neal
Cheyenne, but which is now obliterated
Further investigation, among the oldest
residents, divulged the fact that placer
mining was at one time carried on along
Crow creek, but the miners thought thai
the pay wasn't big enough, and they
therefore abandoned their claims. II
was near these claims that the brick,
yard, mentioned above, was started, and
that explains how gold dust got into tht
bricks.-Meyenne (WyOn,ing) Leader.

A RnIlrnna nr.ppIrg Ont Of sight.

A curious phenomenon has occurred
in the dropping out Of sight Of a piece oil
road near Ravenna, Ohio. ABOUT zen
wears ago there was a settling IN inc
road. but no great change occurred until
last June. when, in a single night, that
whole portion eight rods) 'racked
souarely across the road and disappeared
from sight. leaving the banks perpen-
dicular and as smooth IS though severed
with a knife. While the strange sub
merging was taking pla,e the sou'h
side of the read was forced up nom
beneath by some power to the height oil
nearly ten feet. Then, like a grand
panoramic scene, it was slowly carried
across to the north fence, then DIS
appeared, its place being taken by more
earth, which underwent a similar
iourney-seemingly attached to an IN
seen axle and slowly revolving. .
The next day a pond Of water marked
the place Of those eight rods OF roadoed'
the depth of which was not nor mas
since been ascertaiued. The water came
in in a stream the size of n barrel, but
whence it came was conumdrum.
The most astonishing feature was, how
ever, the presence of large number OF
fish-shiners, sunfish and rock bass,
nearly all white in color, and had the
appearance of coming from some sunless
habitation, being sluggish in their ac-
tions. As these fish can only live in
pure, healthy water, the basin where
they now are must be furnished from
such a source. AS soon as the remark
able contortions ceased the work OF re-
building was commenced. In all about
1000 loads of gravel were thrown in.
For the first few days load after load
melted away like sugar, but at last it
began to build, and gradually, foot by
foot, the bed was established, and those
engaged in the work began to think that
the appetite of the monster" had be-
come appeased. A careful watch was
kept until recent Saturday. when the
contractor, upon visiting the work, no
ticed terrible commotion among the
fish, turtles, snakes and frogs. The fish
were leaping out of the water, turtles
running hither and thither in alarm,
snakes twisting and crawling about,
angrily darting out their tongues. In
an hour or so he noticed a sinking
spell" coming on, and almost imme-
diatcly the whole rebuilt portion broke
loose and seemed to dive forward and

Glass ball shootingsand various other
exhibitions of skillful manipulation OF
parlor rifles are at present attracting
considerable attention both in Europe
and the United States, and the telegraph
reports almost daily some wondrous
achievement, so that the sport. has re-
ceived fresh impetus on our coast, and
has been attended with some really
good shooting, particularly in the case
Of Otto, son of Joseph, the Nez Perces
chief. A representative of the Cal
awaited himself of an invitation ex-
tended by Captain Mcdonald to witness
an exhibition of fancy shooting by his
ward, and was amply rewarded, as tie
following will attest: 1t may be well to
state that the scene of operations was
room sparsely lighted, and the general
circumstances rather unfavorable for
successful shooting. The incidentals
for the shooting exhibition consisted Of
q triangular wooden frame, at. the apex
Of which bill poster representing the
figure Of man had been pasted, piece
of glass about one inch square inserted
for an eye, and at the other corners of
the triangle set of brass knobs were
inserted in the frame. On the other
side, above and below, slanting iron
plates were fixed to crowbars and num-
bers of glass balls hung at various dis
tances from each other. At the back of
the apparatus gong occupied centra
position. The first experiment con-
sisted OF blindfold shooting. A nickel

line OF the object, with rifle minus s
sight, and at distance of some twenty
five feet. The first shot sent the nicke
flying around the room, and on exam
ination an indentation was found on il,
very edge. The second test consisted O
placing small piece of tinted paper OF
the glass used as an eye on the figure
and then placing large piece of card
board in front of and touching it, S,
that 1t was completely hidden from
view. The shooter was again blind
folded, and the first shot shattered tn

the center of the tinted paper. Their
