ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
Death of George w. Birdsall la vir
gtnia City.

The telegraph brings news of the death
of George W. Birdsall at Virginia City on
the evening Of the 8th instant. He had
been in poor health for several years, and
his death was not, therefore, unexpected.
Deceased was a native OF the State Of
New York and must have been bordering
close on to 60 years Of age. He came to
California about the year 1850 as head en-
gineer of the steamer Antelope. He con-
| tinued to reside in the Golden State until
1860, when he crossed to this side of the
mountains, locating on the Comstock. He
served as deputy under our fellow towns
man j. ". b. Perry when the latter filled
the position of Chief of Police Of Virginia
City. He was a determined, resolute Off
| GER and proved a valuable assistant during
| the rough times on the Comstock. Once,
when in the discharge OF his official duty,
| Johnny McNab, a desperate character.
since deceased, sent a bullet crashing
| through his body. Birdsalls life for
weeks was despaired of, but being a man
Of strong &C institution and iron Will he
managed to pull through.
He went to White Pine with the rush in
1868. and held several official positions of
| I6SDDLslpliltN aiiQ huhp oufAhb
| times of that section. He next went to
Phoebe, and there also he was called to
occupy official trusts of various kinds. In
every station Of life he was always true to
| the confidence reposed in him. He re-
NAMED there until about three years ago,
when he returned to the Comstock, stop
| ping over some weeks in Eureka en- route.
Birdsall was widely known all
over the coast, and particularly
in this State. He was a man OF strong
common sense, and had the keenest posi-
BILE sense.of the ludicrous. He was a great
practical joker before he lost his health,
and never missed an opportunity to dis
play this characteristic OF his nature when
ever he came across a proper subject. HI
was withal a generous, kind-hearted man
and always stood ready to extend to
friend a helping hand. He was a Masor
in good standing, by which fraternity b.
was buried, according to the dispatch. A
host of friends both in this State and Cali
fornia will mourn his death.

The Consumption of Beer.

A recent publication shows that, while
the sale of beer in the United States in
1877 was only 9,752,0 barrels, the total
sales for the year ending May 1, 1881,
amounted to IA, 125, 456 barrels-an in
crease of 4,373, 1876 barrels in five years, or
an average annual increase of about ,000,-
900 barrels, and an increase over 1880 of
/, 324, 566 barrels. This is encouraging,
for the Bee has maintained, and does still
hold, that beer drinking is a potent aid to
temperance. And in this we are not alone.
The New York Star of July 20, referring
to these figures, says. When we con-
slider that the regular American tipple in
times past was whisky, these figures ought
to encourage every temperance advocate.
Whisky is a stimulant that no nation can
afford to live under. 1t is a destroyer of
the brain and liver both, and where one
person succumbs to it, several others
wife and children-go down with him.
But beer is a good temperance drink. 1t
has that especial taste that suits the drink
er's palate, and has not the consuming fire
behind it. Germany is a nation Of beer
drinkers. 1t showed itself in the Franco
German war a nation of warriors. In
scientific research it shows itself q nation
of thinkers. We do not believe, of course,
that beer makes either warriors or scien-
lists. We believe only that it is a great
deal better for our nation to drink beer
than to drink whisky"
The Sacramento Bee says it were better
perhaps that we should drink neither.
But man is bound to have some stimulant
if he can obtain it, whether it may be in
the form Of tobacco, opium, alcoholic
liquors or beer, and of all these beer is the
least harmless both to the individual, tc
the family and to society.

Albion shares are steadily advancing in
the San Francisco market. They got as
high yesterday as 50 10. Considering the
forty.cent assessment falling due in a
short time, this advance is unexpected and
q little out OF the usual course OF matters.
II means one OF two things: Either that
the general public has become thoroughly
satisfied that the recent decision will not
hold water for q moment, or that there Is
q move on foot among large holders to
"cinch " the short interest. The SENTINEL
has an idea that both OF these theories are
contributing to the present rise. The
stock was largely shorted from SO down to
81 rs. The stock has not been extensively
dealt In since the late adverse decision,
which leads to the conclusion that most Of
the shorts are still out. They expected to
fill at about 81 per share. The bears and
strikers continually predicted that the
stock would recede to the 81 mark. This
was the burden Of our neighbours song for
many days after tho decision. When the
shorts begin TO I'LL the price must neces-
sarily advance. 1t would be a good joke
on the Smart Alecks" il they got badly
hurt in the filling process. The way the
stock 10 acting, it looks as though some
body might get squeezed before this thing
Ia over. May the Lord aid in the squeez-
ing.

A WANDERING MINER.
He Has Grea Faith in the Conn
stock.

He Has Great Faith in the Com.
stock.
An old miner, after ten years Of wan
dering, has faith in the old camp, and
gives to the Enterprise his opinion Of the
Comstock
After visiting all the promising mining
regions l came to the conclusion to again
try California and Nevada. i struck out
for Bodie. Here l spent o week, examined
all the principal mines, and was much
| pleased with the outlook of Bulwer, Bodie
and Standard. All are good mines, and
much better than any / saw in Arizona.
Not having a show for any work, l then
left for
VIRGINIA CITY,
Where I was six days ; visited the Justice,
where l had worked for two years; did not
see where any great work had been done
during my absence for years. While q
workman in this mine l believed it one Of
the best on the lode, and l still think that
the day will come when big pay can be
taken out. l am certain that If ore is ever
taken out it will be high in gold. l visited
the Alpha, where l had worked over a year.
l think l saw indications of a small boz

believe the managers are keeping the best
part in reserve. l was also in the Mexi-
can, where l was a workman for months. /
saw no signs Of the old mine giving out. /
have just as much faith in it as / had in
1866, when all the miners knew it to be a
great mine. l believe that as
GREAT BoNANzAs
Will be found as in the past. 1 speak as a
miner, from theory and experience. The
present indications are more favorable
than at the time when the bonanzas were
struck. Not obtaining work. l left May /
for Wood River, passed two weeks here,
found it the poorest country outside of
Arizona for a w~orkingman, as q miner.
Wood River may be a good place for
smelling works in three or four years. At
present it is no place for a man to work for
wages. l then struck out for
WHITE PINE,
Where / arrived six weeks ago. I found a
great change in Hamilton and Treasure
Hill. Hamilton has not been rebuilt to
one-third Of its former greatness before
the fire. The people who have remained
here have great faith in the future Of this
mining region. The Eberhardt tunnel is
still progressing, which is certainly the
greatest piece of work in the State, stand
ing second to Sutro. At present the indi-
cations are very good to soon find some
thing like the times of 1868. l believe the
time is not far distant when old Treasure
Hill will show as rich as in 1868. Every
n knows that richer mines were never
known in Nevada than were found on
Treasure Hill in early times. l venture to
say that more money has been expended en-
the Sierra Nevada mine of Virginia City
than has been expended ON all the mines
Of White Pine, outside Of the Eberhardt
tunnel.

The Mistakes Made by Garfield
Doctors.
From an Eastern Exchange.

From an Eastern Exchange.
Yesterday afternoon two young medi.
cal students met in a Fulton street sa.
loon and fell into conversation on the as
s~assination.
Il am inclined to think the attending
physicians have Inexperienced the Pres
ident's case; what do you say, doctor p
asked one.
81 agree with you, doctor" replied the
other. "As soon as they discovered that
the bullet had penetrated the laudable
pus they should have made an effort to
extract It."
"My idea exactly. And if p~eriponitis
supervened, they could readily have re-
duced it with a borax gargle. Don't
you think they might have lowered the
peritoneal wall into the abdominal cavity
so as to have reduced the pressure on the
liver, doctor :"
"They might, doctor; but wouldn't
that have produced lesion
Certainly. But, doctor, they could
have turned the lesion over, and in that
way reduced the respiration at thestart. "
"You are right, doctor. If I'd been
there l should have drawn the bullet
back and downward, in order to relieve
the iniamed parts"
II see; and tied the arteries at your
leisure. Yes, yes. Did you get the i'm
preston that any of the legitaments were
cut by the bullet?"
II think one of the anterior vessels
was severed, and rush Of blood into the
stomach is all that saved his life. Have
you considered, doctor, hat the ball may
pass into the femoral artery and make
the.patient lame?"
"No, l hardly think SO. If those
they'll tie the spinal cord around the
bullet, and then they can pull it out at
any time. | would recommend its re-
moval now"
Certainly not, doctor. I thought of
one thing that would have worked we'll
in the earlier stages, but it's too late now,
and that was during the fever to increase
the temperature until the bullet was
melted, permitting it to pass off through
the wound"
ga most excellent idea, doctor Why
m earth didn't you recommend it at the
timer"
"Ohi l wasn't called into the case and
didn't like to interfere. What did you
think of Old Breyfogle's lecture on the
sub-clavian artery"
"He's an old ass! Anybody knows that
the clavian arteries are the root Of sciati.
ca, which will only yield to amputation.
Going to the baseball match tomorrow

The Different Forms i'm which the
Electric shark Appears.

Tne Dfherent Forms in which n
Electric spark Appears.
At a time when the atmosphere Of the
Base Range seems surcharged with cleo
tricity, the following article from a scien-
tiic source should prove entertaining A
flash Of lightning is a very large spark Of
electricity-just the same thing hat one
sees given by an electric machine in a lee
ture on Natural Philosophy, the only diff
ference being that the best machine will
not give a spark over a yard long, while
some flashes of lightning have been esti-
mated to be several miles in length. Ac-
cording to their appearance, various names
have been given to these sparks in the sky.
though in reality all the several kinds
are one and the same thing. On a warm
Summer evening one often sees the clouds
on the horizon lit up with brilliant glows
of lightning, unaccompanied by any sound
of thunder. To this appearance the name
Of heat lightning" has been given, and
the warm weather is often assigned as its
cause. In point of fact the heat lightning
is only that Of a thunder shower, so far off
that, while the observer can see the fash,
no sound of thunder reaches him, and the
fCAihb Cua fCh II lChCNt ~
flash until il becomes a glow, instead of the
sharp streak usually seen. Where the
fash, starting from one point, branches
out and divides into several parts. it has
received the name of "forked lightning"
This is usually seen when the discharge is
near the observer. Single flashes bearing
a zigzag or crinkled aspect are denominat-
ed "chain lightning, probably from their
resemblance to a chain thrown loosely ON
the ground. Again, when several dis
charges occur from about the same place
at the same time, and are screened by rain
or clouds so as to light up the heavens
with a broad, bright glow, the title Of
i" sheet lightning" is applied. These four
comprise all the common forms. There is.
however, one rare manifestation called
g ball lightning In this phenomenon a
small ball or globe Of apparent. fire rolls
slowly along the ground, and after a time
suddenly explodes, scattering destruction
around. There are a few Instances Of this
on record, and no very satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION has ever accounted for this Curl
GUS appearance.

STAR ROUTES IN NEVADA.
How h Ring Expedited the Time
and Increased the Pay.

and Increased h Pay.
The reports of the Star Route investi-
CATION, 0 being made public, show how
some of the routes from Nevada to points
in California and Oregon were expedited
and the pay increased for the benefit OF
the ring. The route from Fort McDermit
to Canyon City, Oregon, through a sparse
ly settled country, in which there were
only two Postoffices, was expedited at a
cost to the Government of about 5000
a year. The ring received $1,000 per
annum for the service, from which they
realized $50, 900 in clean cash, as they sub
let the contract for 500, 900.
Another route, that from Reno to Susan
vile, with three intermediate postoffices,
had a service Of six times q week. Ac-
cording to the advertisement Of the Post
Office Department, it cost 81, 900 a year to
run it. OF the eleven bidders V. H.
Pease was the lowest at "a, 800 a year. His
bid was accepted, to take effect July l.,
1873. In June of that year he sub-let the
contract to j.. w. Parker, who sent a petit
ton to Washington, asking that the time
be expedited from "a to IS hours, the dis
lance being 80 miles. This proposition
was Endorsed by Senator Jones, and the
route was expedited and the pay doubled.
This did not satisfy the contractor and his
associates in the Ring, and he made it ap-
pear to General Brady, who had the
letting Of the mail contracts, that he meant
a reduction of schedule time to SO instead
of Is hours. As Brady shared in the
spoils--he being a silent partner in the
ring, and only wanted a pretext for in
creasing the pay on all the routes in which
his associates were interested-he increased
the pay to $11 752 IS per mum, of which,
OF course. he received his pro rata, besides
getting a handsome contribution for the
Indiana campaign fund, thus eDriching
himself and periodically furnishing green
backs to save the Union by defeating the
Democrats in Indiana and preventing
General Hancock from being elected Pres
ident.

Wages in the East.

Says the Virginia Chronicle: "It is a

wages in the large cities have 80 increased
that there is now but little difference. In
New York City the various trades receive
