A Descent Into Hades.

There are no braver men in the world
than can be found among the miners of
the Comstock Accustomed to face
dangers every day of their lives, they
never shrink from the callof duty. An
instance of personal bravery occurred
recently at the Hale e. Norcross which
is worthy of record as showing what
men will do and dare. When the pump
column in the mine burst, the flow of
water which is usually pumped at the
Hale IL NOrcross, Il large portion of
which comes from the well-known north
drift on the 2,200 level of the Savage
and is very hot, was sent through con-
nections TO the G. N. S. shaft to be
raised to the Sutro tunnel level. One
day this flow of water was unusually
strong. The pumps labored assiduous-
ly to keep it down, but labored in vain.
Bailing tanks were added, and still the
accumulation could not be kept down.
When the 2,400 station at that shaft was
some three feet under water, infOrma-
ton was sent to the Hale & Norcross of
the fact and a desire was expressed to
know the cause of the increased flow.
The necessity of an investigation thus
became imperative. Superintendent
Deidesheimer, not knowing what might
have happened in that confined locality
to threaten the safety of the mine on
the lower levels, and not wishing to
send men where he was unwilling to 90
himself, sent for Foreman Kellogg, who
was working on the broken pump col
umn, informed him of the situation of
affairs and asked him to 60 with him
self and see what was wrong. Mr.. Kel-
logg would not allow Mr.. Deidesheimer
to incur the risks of the exploration and
set about preparing to go alone. He
saturated a wooden shirt with ice-water
and bound it on over his head, leaving
but single eye exposed. He then
muffled both hands and thus prepared
entered the drift, leaving with the Su-
perintendent a request that, if he did
not return in fifteen minutes, the drift
should be closed behind him, to be
opened no more. This could well be
done, as the Savage had bulkheaded
that level, the air had been shut out,
and the workings were practically aban-
doned. After enduring that terrible
heat for twelve minutes Mr.. Kellogg
came back and reported nothing amiss.
The extra water was but an unusually
large intermittent flow from the old
north drift in Savage. When stripped
of his mufflings Mr.. Kellogg found that
in some way one of his hands had be-
come barred while he was in the drift,
and the back of it had been burned to a
solid blister by the dry, hot air to which
he had been exposed. Water boils on
the Comstock at 1913 degrees, and he
had sustained for twelve minutes tenn
perature of only forty degrees below
that of boiling water, and sufficient to
have roasted him in very short time.

An Interesting Puzzle.

Perhaps some of our readers are not
familiar with the following puzzle: A
young man asked an old man for his
daughter in marriage. The answer was,
$50 into the orchard and bring in n
parcel of apples. Give me one-half of
the whole number, and the mother one
half of the balance and half an apple
over, and the daughter One-half of the
remainder and half an apple over, and
have one left for yourself, without cut
ing Lhe apple, aud then, if she is will
inr, You can have her" He solved the
question; aud how many did he bring?
Fourteen, rs you can easily prove. The
old woman was to nave one half of the
balance, which would be three ard 2.
half, and half au apple over, which
would make four apples for her. There
would be three apples left, of which
the daughter was to have one-half and
half an apple over, which would give
her two, and leave the lover his own,
without cutting the apple"

She Thought, ITO the last he has played his

He said, There are tears in your eyes. I

And she answered, "You cannot see."
SAT least l may look" he laughed and said,
"For | fancy that something | thought was

He said, "Sweet eyes, may read your tears,
