SUTRO TUNNEL.
Report For the Week Ending Oct,
10, 1881.

Main Tunnel-During the week |
about the usual force of repairmen
has been employed along the line of
the main tunnel retimbering, repair
ing and securing the ground and re-
moving loose rock and old rubbish.
Forty-six sets of old tlmbers and
drain boxes were removed and "a
sets of new timbers placed in posi-
ton.
South Lateral-This weeks pro-
gress of 6S feet was through timber
ing ground and the face is now in
propylltic rock. The distance to
the header from tn, Julia turning
point is 5000 feet, and from the
Yellow Jacket turning point, 1,427.-
25 feet. The distance from the
header to a point 200 feet east of the
Forman shaft Is 1901 0S feet. The
repairmen put up six sets OF timbers
and removed two sets, and made the
usual repairs along the drift; also,
assisted the machinists in setting up
the blower station, near tine Yellow
Jacket shaft. This will soon be in
order to supply the drift with more
air for ventilation.
South Lateral Small Sub-drain-
Since last report this drain has been
excavated a distance of 800 feet;
also, upright posts were placed I'M
der the Drain boxes and the blocks
were removed when they interfered
10 excavating the drain.
Shaft No. 1, Repairs-Two car
penters and repairmen, since last re-
port, have placed in two sets of tim
bers and filled in back of the tim
bsrs where the caved ground was
repaired; also, constructed 100 feet
of ladder and commenced to remove
the obstruction in the shaft from
point about 1875 feet from the sur
face, where the thinkers aud dirt had
lodged.
Prospect Drift at Point 4,035
South Lateral-During the week the
drift has been extended seven feet,
making the distance from the south
lateral 113 feet. At point 1903 feet
from the lateral tunnel a crosscut
was run east in the vein and has now
reached point 20 feet, measuring
from the center of the drift. The
crosscut passed through first, a clay
seam, then vein of quartz mixed;
next was encountered strata of
very fair looking quartz, and finally
vein porphyry, which we are now
running through. AS the porphyry
is much softer and the quartz gives
better assays than from the other
crosscut, and the vein wider, the in
dications are more favorable north
ward.

Odd Fellows.

VIM. H. Hill, who has just return
ed from the session of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, at
Cincinnati, reports the following as
the most important legislation:
Change Of regalia-For Initatory
members a plain white chollar.
For the Degrees-Chollars in sub
ordinate lodges shall be white, trim.
med with the emblematic color of
the degree. First degree, pink; sec
ond degree, blue; third degree, scar

Treasurer, scarlet trimmed with
white; Vice Grand, blue trimmed
with white; supporters of N. G. and
V. G., sashes same color as Chiefs;
Warden and Conductor, black sash
es; Scene supporters and Chaplain.
white sashes; Guardians, scarlet
sashes. Ibis legislation applies to
new lodges or to lodges purchasing
new regalia. 1t does not apply to
old lodges unless they are intending
change.
Work-On and after July 1st, 1882,
all the business of subordinate lodg-
es shall be transacted in the third
degree.
Cards-A Grand Lodge Card held
by member of defunct lodge has
the same value as regular with
drawal card. (This was passed through
the efforts OF Mr.. Hill, whose atten-
ton was called to the defect in the
old law by the surrender of the
Charter of Silver City Lodge No, p
Miscellaneous-Fou charge books

members.
It was decided that if a member
becomes blind, though otherwise III
good health, he is entitled to weekly
benefits.
Eacampment Business --Messrs.
Atkinson and Hill had resolution
passed permitting the Encampment
Branch to adopt auxiliary endow-
ment features. This was the special
pet of Mr.. Atkinson, and he feels
pardOnably elsted at his success in
securing such an important feature
for this branch of the Order.
The quorum in the encampment
will be five instead of seven, as
heretofore.
SENSIBLE CHANGE.
The Constitution was So amended
as to dispense with the supertiuous
titles of honor heretofore annexed to
the names of officers of the Sover-
eign Lodge, such as NJ. w., X. w,
etc. 1t is probable that State juris'
dictions will adopt similar amend
ment.
The next session of the Sow
ereign Lodge will oe held at Balti-
more, beginning on the third Mon
day of September, 1889. Mr.. Hill

The Grasshopper Parasite.

The grasshoppers of Churchill
county were killed by a small red
bug or louise. The insects were very
small, but on some of the grasshop-
pers were so numerous as to give it
a red color. Sometimes immense
flights would rise from field which
they were devastating and fly to a
great height, and shower that look
ed like red dust would fall from
them. Nature has kindly provided
the little red fellow as a destroyer of
the pest for which owners of grain
fields cannot be too grateful. The
occasional fall of red snow which is
heard of from different localities,
may possibly be accounted for by
a swarm of grasshoppers flying over
and dropping the insects. Consider
able wonder has been excited by the
great altitude which is attained in
some of their flights, as Is shown by
their crossing mountain ranges, and
it is surmised that the parasite may
be the cause. Every farmer has OBJ
served cattle in the Spring while
quietly feeding, suddenly start of
with tail erect and run a wild and
apparently objectless race; this is
owing to the irritation caused by a
worm or grub which matches from
an egg deposited under the skin by
fly during the early part of the
season. The parasites Of the grass
hopper may in like manner cause
such torture as to impel to extraor.
binary muscular exertion as means
of relief, and in this manner the in.
strument which destroys is also the
means of dividing the great armies
and more eq W apportioning the
loss during the process of destruc.
ton.

The Microscope and Intemperanee

A discussion is now being carried
on between the advocates of Total
Abstinence and the Moderation men,
but Chas. L. Ali, with his dollar
microscope which he offers freely
for sale, has done more than either
party IN the cause of temperance
both in eating drinking. A drop of
liquor placed in the focus exhibits
the snakes wriggiing and squirming
and small piece Of cheese looks
like piece of scalp from an Indian
baby's head. The observers need to
take but one look TO resolve to be
moderate in both eating and drink
ing hereafter. If anyone doubts let
HIM buy glass and look for him.

A Hard Winter Coming.

On Sunday Old Haynes observed
a flock of crows flying south. He is
an old resident of the Coast, and
does not remember having seen the
same thing at this season without a
hard winter following. He has also
noticed that when frost comes early
as it has this year, extreme and long
continued cold weather may be ex-
Dected.

The Administrator sale OF the

together a crowd of interested pur-
chasers. He had collected a fine
assortment of the tools of his trade,

Nothing pertaining to the business
of undertaking was lacking from the
satin lining of coffin to the rough

to shovels and picks. Before the

The annual report of the Superln-
tendent of education in South Carroll
ma, recently published in the journals
of the State, makes an encouraging
exhibit of the present condition OF ed
ucation and the progress made during
the year. There has been an Increase
in the educational funds, an improve
ment IN the school buildings and a
termination to the prejudice against
the free school system so long mani
tested among the higher class OF
whites. Moreover, the South is be-
ginning to supply her own teachers !;
and of the 3249 teachers now employ
ed in South Carolina there are only
23-16 white and z colored-who are
from the North. There are 1916
colored Southern teachers employed.
The average wages of male teachers
was S25.45, and of females $23. As
a much closer approach to an equality
between the sexes than is common IN
the Northern States. This is parti-
ally explained, probably, by the fact
that most of the instruction is in the
primary and lower grades, and that
in these departments, the work OF the
average woman teacher is quite as
valuable as that of the average man
teacher. Those who have visited
Southern schools, or have noticed the
quality of the graduates turned out at
such normal and training institutions
as that at Hampton, understand this
fact. The total attendance of pupils
was 1873, 45S, a slight decrease from
the preceding year-a decrease attrib-
utable in part to the severe weather
last winter, and in part to the absorb
ton in school buildings, in some local
tiles, of money that would otherwise
have been spent in CONDUCT =
schools. Whine, the funs4
use have increased, and the value u
school orders has risen from % pei
cent. four years ago to nearly par
more money is urgently needed, ane
the Superintendent recommends
system of local taxation. The recon-
mendation, if we may judge from the
discussion of the question which was
had in the State press some months
ago, is likely to be pretty generally
approved by the better class. The
system now, greatly needs improve
ment at the top, and the Superintend-
ent dwells upon the Importance Of
schools of the higher grades.-Boston

Star Route Frauds.

Mr.. H. X. johnson of the post-of-
flee department has just returned
from Nebraska, where he went as the
bearer of evidence in the possession
of the department and as an expert
witness against certain persons &C
cused of conspiracy to defraud the
government in a star route contract.
The route concerned was that from
Sydney, Neb., to Deadwood, Oak.
1t was shown that the agents of the
contractors conspired with the post
masters at each end of the route to
have fictitious returns Of service re-
ported to the department, upon which
the contractors were paid for service
never performed. The post masters
have confessed that for about two
years they regularly made returns of
arrivals son time," when the facts
were shown to be that the mails sell
dom arrived "on time," and sometimes
of two weeks occurred dur
ing which no mails were carried. The
amount lost to the department was
about $40, 900. This has been fay-
orite method of star route frauds. The
postmaster at Sydney, the contrac-
tors agent and superintendent were
indicted, and to be tried in January,

A Real Heroine.

The attention of the Woman's
journal is called to the following: A
convicted Denver stage-robber while
on his way to Detroit, where the SEN
tence was to be served, in charge OF
United States Marshall Wilcox, work
ed his handouts off when the train
was near Kalamazoo, assaulted the Of
ficer and got his pistol. There were
but few passengers in the car, and
they all fed in the widest panic, with
single exception. That one pas
senger went up and aided the officer
through long struggle, in the course
of which the pistol was snapped three
times, and until the desperate man
was overpowered and pinioned. And
that single brave passenger, who
saved the officers life, was q woman,
and her name is Mrs. Smithson OF
Denver.
