There is lake on the Saw Tooth
Mountains that has probably no equal in
the United States. 1t is about sixty or
sixty-five miles from Bonanza, and at an
altitude nearly of 1900 feet. The lake
lies in basin among the sharp crags of
the snowy Saw Tooth, and is sheet of
perpetual ice. 1t was discovered in
August Of last year by party Of pros
pectors, and named the Ice Lake. The
sun seemed to have no effect upon it ex-
cept in places adjoining the shore. 1t is
simply great bowl in the hard mountain
rock brimful Of solid ice, upon which the
rays of the sun descend with no power tc
penetrate. Il Yankee Fork Herald.

The expected Spanish baby elephant
has put in an appearance. 1t was born last
Saturday morning at o'clock. Notwith-
standing that learned physicians pro-
nounced that the expected babe would be
boy, it has proven to be girl. There
is nothing strange about this, for girls arc
always crowding into places when they
are not wanted. However, the young
royal couple must not get discouraged,
but try to do better next time.

THE LIGHT OF FACTS.

When Sharon ran for office six years
ago, says the Carson Appeal, the best
men in the State favored his election.
They liked his grit and perseverance and
admired him because he hung on to the
Comstock until bonanza had been found
in it. Many short sighted men gave him
the credit of risking large sums of money
that the people might be benefited. Now,
in reality, the people paid out of their
own pockets most of the money for Shar.
on's prospecting operations. He took no
great risks and with his power over the
market he could rake in hundred thou
sand at turn whenever he wanted it.
The public carried the stock of the Com
stock and paid their assessments until
bonanza was discovered, and then the in
siders had the bulk of it. A good many,
however, were willing to give Mr.. Sharon
credit for enterprise and pluck, and as
reward for his services made him Senator.
We are willing to give the Senator all the
credit due him for his past services to
Nevada, but fail to see why he should be
rewarded for sticking by State from
whose soil he was extracting millions.
Most men would have done the same
thing under the circumstances. Is Sharon
at the present time developing any bo-
nanzas upon the Comstock! He has no
further interest in Nevada to speak Of.
After being absent six years, not on duty
as Senator, but simply as business
man of San Francisco, he comes back and
asks for reelection. In the meantime
he has quietly withdrawn all his Nevada
interests. We say all, because while he
is accounted to be worth millions, he has
no interests in Nevada except some in
ferior interests in corporations which pay
no taxes, and which he holds in way
that at moments notice he could unload
them. He claims q residence simply be-
caues of his holding commission as SEN
ator, though he has, during the whole
term of his Office, done nothing to show
that he held that commission except to
draw his pay and to seandalize Nevada
by his acts during tho brief periods that
he has been in Washington. He is q
business man. Is there any doubt how
he would answer his mining Superintend.
ents, had one performed his duties as
he has performed his Senatorial duties
should such an one ssk for reappoint
ments Is it not plain that if it wer'
known that Sharon had no money Their
is not a man who would favor his re-elec
ton! Is it not ashamed that the men o
education, of public spirit, of general in
formation, andehe men who have home
here, and love for the State are to b
denied chance to aspire to an honora
BILE Office because nonresident appear
with big sack. And while this lament
able state Of affairs exists any man VIII
raises protest is denounced by til
Sharon organ as either wanting in fealit
to the Republican party or accused OF IN
successful attempts at blackmail.

SILVER PLATED POTATOES.
A Possible Revolution In the
Method of Working Tailings.

Giacomo Balbo owns a ranch
few miles below Dayton, on which
he raises few potatoes each year.
This year he added small area to
his titled ground close to the blanket
sluices and tailings pile of an old
quartz mill which was abandoned
some years ago. In irrigating the
land, which he had planted in pota-
toes, he made use of the blanket ia
bles to save the labor of running a
ditch around the side hill, and the
water after flowing over these. passed
for short distance along the edge
OF the tailings, carrying some of
them with it. When Balbo COM
menced digging his potatoes, he OBJ
served that those near the side next
to the tailings were covered with
large black spots, which he at first
mistook for some disease OF the pota-
to, until having peeled few they
were found to be all right inside.
Wishing to show the spots to neigh
Dor in order to get his opinion, he
rubbed potato against his pants to
get the dirt off, and was astonished
to see it assume a bright, metallic
lustre. An examination showed
that all the black spots if rubbed
carefully so as not to break the skin
would become as bright as a new
dollar. Unfortunately he did not
discover their value as curiosities
until he had used most of those so
marked, thinking they would not do
for the market. He has, however, a
few left, and intends to send them to
the Pioneers and other societies
which have collections of the curl
Gus productions of the Coast.
1t is probable that the Silver in
the tailings was deposited on the po-
tatoes in finely subdivided state by
either chemical or galvanic action
during the process of growing, and
1t is possible that If the chemical re-
actions should be investigated that
a new and cheap method of working
tailiDgs would be the result, thus de-
irving profit from the vegetable
crop, even if the yield in silver was
not large.

MASON VALLEY LETTER.
Haying. Harvesting, Good Weather
and Good Templars.

MASON VALLEY, Aug. s, 1880.
EDITOR TINES: 1t is some time since
there has been any correspondence
from the Valley in your columns,
and few items may not be consid
cred amlss. We have all survived
the hot weather, and 1 am happy to
state that the temperature of our at
mosphere is slowly abating, and it
is now possible to breathe without
a special effort. Mosquitoes are still
"too numerous to mention" and, cor
respondingly active.
The first haying season is over
and the second crop is growing rap
idly and gives promise of a much
better yield in both quantity and
quality than the first. Farmers are
we'll along with their harvesting,
as there are four headers at work in
the Valley and another one is expec-
ted to arrive soon. The yield of grain,
like that of hay, proves to be consid
erably lighter than usual, but
money panic is not apprehended.
The G.. 4. Lodge is in very flour
ishing condition. In the last quar-
terly reports it was ascertained that
there was quite balance remaining
in the treasury, aud that the Lodge
has membership of LOG persons in
good standing, and new recruits are
constantly joining our ranks. Quite
a number have recently been ex-
PEELED, but the Lodge is all the
stronger because of their ejectment.
