Colonel S. L. Curtis, who has recently
returned from a second visit to Grants
vile, says he finds the ore rapidly i'm
proving in the Alexander mine as work
below the water level progresses. It is
sulphuret ore of the finest description. |
The mine in places contains large deposits |
of chloride ore which can be worked |
without roasting.
The ore vein is Of immense width and
has been cut into in score of places by
means of tunnels, shafts, drifts and
wines. In one place an immense amount
Of ore has been quarried out on the sur
face. At this point is huge open cut,
on all sides of which ore of the same
quality is still standing.
Drifts have been run from the main
shaft over 400 feet north and south and
some 200 feet east and west and these
have everywhere found ore. The foot
wall has been found in two or three
places, but as yet the east or hanging
wall has not been seen in any Of the ex-
ploring drifts. Some who have surveyed
the mine and made estimates claim that
there is in sight ore to the value Of $45,-
100000. Colonel Curtis, however, places
the amount at $lS, 900, 900. Where others
have counted that all was ore between
two points at which ore was visible, he
has only founded his estimates on the ore
actually in sight. He says there are
doubtless places where all is good or
between certain points, and if this shall
turn out so it is all the better, but he
did no guess.work in making his calcu.
lations.
There are ON the same lode the Brook
lyn, Potosi and Alameda that are opening
out splendidly. They promise to rival
the Alexander in extent and richness.
The mines are situated on the east
side of mountain very much resembling
Cedar Hill, north of this city. The DIP
of the lode is to the east
As regards trouble with water, which
has been feared by some, Colonel Curtis
is quite confident that there will be nj
great difficulty. He says the water there
is merely that of the surface-that which
naturally belongs in the scalp of th'
country. 1t is true that the people il
Grantsville and vicinity obtain water b,
sinking wells to the depth of twenty o
thirty feet--and excellent water-bu
this all belongs to the surface In fey
instances persons who were anxious t
obtain considerable depth of water i
their wells have sunk through the stratul
containing the surface water and cut int
the mineral bearing stratum. In tn
latter very little water was found, an
the little so bad that the diggers
the wells were glad to fill them up to tt
upper stratum and so tamp the bottom
to keep out the mineral water four
below.
There are 500 to 600 people in tow
which contains several stores, saloo
and other business establishments. i.

Some curious stories are related Of in

ecclesiastical laws Of Europe, dumb ami.
mails were treated as responsible beings,
arrested, brought before courts to answer
for crimes, and in the meantime were
shut up in prison. Witnesses were ex.
amined, Judgment pronounced, the ami
mails if found guilty executed, the offend
ing beast often being dressed in the
clothing Of q man. Antique European
law books contain reports Of trials of
swine, bulls, horses, etc., in public courts
for the offense of killing persons, and
they were gravely hanged for their mis-
deeds. They had forms for prosecuting
beasts too numerous to punish individual.

the barley of the region; their counsel
established q successful defense that their
clients had desired to leave the territory
but couldn't get away on account OF the
cats lying in wait for them. In Mayence

wills were indicted at public trial. Theil
counsel succeeded in obtaining a decree
that distant territory should be assigned
to them to which they might retire.

Three jolly husbands ont in the coun-
try, by the names of Tim Watson, Joe
Brown and Billy Walker, sat one even
ing drinking at village tavern, until,
being pretty we'll "corned, they agreed
that each one ON reaching home should
do the first thing that his wife tcld
him, in default Of which he should the
next morning paE the bal.
The next morning Walker and Brown
were early at their posts, but it was
some time before Watson made his ep-
pearance. Walker began first: '"A

give an account of himself, which he
did, with very long face, as follows:

that he was bribed by Oakes Amos

make it possible for us TO regard bin
as u man of pure character from whom
1t might be hoped that as President
his administration would have Il high
moral tone.
"The personal corruption OF which
the Republican candidate Tor President

cation OF the candidate for Vice Presi-
dent in the basest sort OF machine poll.
tics, and especially the most unscrupu-
lous traffic with Tammany,do not seem
to trouble the Republicans very much.
"The same man who would send
Tilden to prison on account Of his in
come tax business and his doubtful
railroad transaction, find it all right
that Garfield should be made President,
Notwithstanding that as a Representa-.
tive in Congress and the Chairman OF u
Committee, no took bribes OF shares

Truth EMBELHsHED.-We never
took much stock in the Rev. James
Freeman Clarke, but it seems he is still
competent to utter some domestic truths
in the midst of his theological vaga-
ries, Last Sunday he remarked a
know bigot when see one, whether
he calls himself ehurchman or infdel."
He said in recent sermon: II have
noticed that men holding extreme opin-
ions in what is now called free religion
are often Just as bigoted as the most
orthodox. The modern school of Ger.
man and English materialists who
know nothing in the universe but
