And, feeling that her death would b. II
liberation for this man, the last sacrifice
she could make for him, sheI..was prepar-
ing to die, while he was escortiug his
bride from fete to fete in the Lond IN
salons. Quietly, without any theatrical
airs. the deserted woman carried out her
project, immolating herself to her love, to
her grief, as do those Indian wives, who
throw themselves upon the pyres that are
to reduce their husbands bodies to ashes.
To-day the noble Lord Henry Paget,
Marquis of Anglessy. can breate freely; he
is no longer exposed to tbe danger of
meeting Annie Wetmore on his road
through life.
No; it Is not just, it is not tolerable, that
this man should rejoice with impunity in
the suicide of this woman. 1t is not Just
that the lesson of this drama should he
lost by those who might be tempted to
initiate it. Public opinion has justice of
its own, and it ought to exercise it in this
case. Here is d death which cries for
vengeance. The fact that the guilty man
il n lord Marquis, cousin OF the Queen,
Is not sufficient reason for shutting our
ears and our eyes to this crime.
Lord Henry Paget had been CHOSEN
President of the Hsrrier Coursipg Society
OF France. The society has ousted him
from that office. How could u society of
gentlemen do otherwise Following this
example, the Carlton Club of London is
going to strike his name from its books.
Queen Victoria will forbid him to appear
hereafter at court, and his fellow mobiles,
when they meet him, will look the other
way. In France his friends, who refused
to appear at his marriage, have resolved
to consider him as dead. 1t is they who
have spread this sad story, in ords THAT it
might get into print-the only mtans of
reaching the criminal. When ordinary
justice is powerless, society has other
weapons which it can employ, as in this
case, against those whom it wishes to
excommunicate from its bosom. 1t is not
sufferable that these Don Jusns of the
clubs should be permitted to violate with
lmpunity the respect due to osths, the
respect due to love; that they should be
able TRANQUILITY to play with the honor and
lives Of women.
The Parisians have shown that they feel
this in uncovering themselves before the
bier of the ill-starred Annie Wetmore, and
in mailing to the pillory, Marquis ~ he is,
the man who murdered her.

wINNEMUCCA MOUNTAIN.

Mines that VIII Probably Pay to Work.
Now that the Humboldt Reduction
Works are being started up again, Win
nemucca Mountain is attracting the as
tention of miners. A good many min
ing claims We're located on the mount
ain, years ago, soEhe of which were
worked to considerable extent, while
others were abandoned The mines
that worked seem to havs paid their
owners, as operations were carried on,
on one or two of them, for years. and
up to the time the Reduction Works
were closed, to await the result of liti-
CATION. Considerable ore was shipped
from these mines to Reno, and the pre-
sumption is that it was rich enough to
pay the expense Of transportation and
reduction, which in those days amount
ed to at least $40 per ton, and leave a
margin for mining and, perhaps, some
profit, or it would not have been
shipped there. As ores brought to the
Reduction Works here will be sampled
and purchased, or worked, at the option
of the owners, it ought to be an induce
ment to the owners Of mines to- have
them worked. 1t is much better, even
if TREY will not more than pay expenses,
to give men employment and get more
money in circulation, than to let the
ore stay in the ground where it does
not benefit anybody. There is said to
be some promising locations in the dis
trct, which have been abandoned, and
undoubtedly enterprising miners could
find claims there that would pay fair
wages so long as the ore can be sold here.
1t is greatly to be hoped that every
possible encouragement will be given to
men to develop and work those mines,
as it would make great difference to
the merchants here if the mines were
giving employment to any considerable
number of men, even though they did
not produce more than sufficient bullion
to pay them good wages.

forms us that that camp is looking up
and decidedly on the mend. Two New
York companies-the Atlas and Mont
rose-are extensively engaged in the
mining business, There are about 200
men at work in the district, and old
mines. which were abandoned as worth
less, are proving to be very valuable.
The new concentrating works, built by
the Montrose company, were started
up about two weeks ago, and work to
perfection. The Old Humbug mine,
formerly owned by Robert McBeth,
and recently located by Ben Wilson, is
very rich, and many areo of the opinion
that when the mines are developed, as
they soon will be, the camp will be sec-
ond to none in the STATE.

Showing How Easily Fortunes Are Some
times Realized and How Quickly They
May also Vanish.
A citizen CT Winnemucca, who has a
very choice collection Of ores and min
eral curiosities, collected in various
parts of the State and coast, wrote to- a
friend at Battle Mountain a few days
ago for specimen of ore from the Lit
tie Giant mine, in that district. In due
time he received the specimen-a piece
Of ore which would probably assay
1000 to the ton-wrapped up in a
piece of paper, on which was written:
Little Giant; cleared Sl00,0 from
the mine in eleven months, and spent
it like fool" How many old mine
owners in Nevada could truthfully say
that they realized thousands Of dollars
from mines that they owned, and spent
it foolishly? A noted instance is that
of Sandy Sandy Bowers, of Virginia
City, who owned twenty five feet on
The Corstock and derived million or
more dollars profit from it, and then
"spent it like fool" A monument
to his folly, known as the Blowers
Mansion, on which he expended half a
million dollars or more, now stands in
Washoe Valley, and was sold several
years ago for less than the wages paid
the architect who superintendent its
construction, and the widow of the
builder, known as the "Washoe Seer
ess," wrestles with poverty. This is
only one Of the many instances that
could be cited where mine owners, like
our Battle Mountain friend, have made
thousands of dollars and spent it i'm
providently.
