Points on Mining.

We select from the advance sheets of the pamphlet just about Co be Isshed by the National Mining and Indus- trial Exposition Association, the Ioi- lowing pertinent conclusions
 Millions of dollars are spent Tor mining machinery, and millions more will be spent. The problem oi me future is to provide as far as possible against the squaudeTing Of SO many millions in worthless machinery. Al an exposition where opportunities are afforded for critically inspecting ma cLinery for drilling rock, eXcayat atins material, pumping water out or deep pits, operating shafts, lighting ana ventllating subterranean drifts and winzes, etc. as well as new methods for reducing, smelling and amalgama- ting ores, etc, the opportunities TOT deception will be greatly lesseneG' while q wonderful stimulus to the ln- ventIon of better machinery will be given. Before the present smelting prOcesses were introduced, less than 40 per cent of the assay value oI ores was saved by the old methods Of treat meut and ore had tO be exceedingly rich to pay the expenses Of treatment. The smelters have worked rcvOlu- ton and have opened many new mar kets foIcre, yet there are millions oi tons of low grade in the mines or on the dumps that cannot pay for treat ment by the smellers. There is yet auother revolution Co be effected in treating ores, and the process that will extract and save 90 per cent. Of the assay value will affect IL. The National Mining Exposition will be the greatest possible incentive to- wards bringing about this revolution. It will furnish large mass of Inior- nation that will have a tendency Go energize peoples minds in the most practical methods of mining. It will remove many prejudices and correct many mistakes. It will bring about a strong utilization between eastern capital and western muscle; and, m fine. will tend to place ths mining in- dustry on the same conservative and reliable footing as other legitimate industries. and eliminate the elements of credulity and deception.

Drdn't Know ihe Butcher

It wss during the peninsula cam paign, just before the battle of Will iamsburg, that General Mcclellan had issued m order fOrbidding iuragIng under penalty of severe punishment. A section of artillery had been sup ported by the Fiity-sixth New York volunteer infantry in a Ittle skirmish late in the evening, and owing Co some misunderstanding, the infantry and artillery were left on the picket line till a late hour without any ra'ions Darkness had closed in and 8 farm yard in the vicinity offered too great temptation for the hungry artillery men co resist Soon the Fragrant aroma of roast pig drew more than onaoficer tO the vicinity Of the im- provised barbecue. Among the off cers was Colonel Van Wyck, the sen ior officer in command. He was asked by one of the imprOvised camp cooks if he would partake 8 menu. 60 Ger taiulv, replied the Colonel ana with a sharpened appetite he at once took hold of the luscious roast porcint ribs. Suddenly a staff officer rode upon the scene. With 6u uumistakab.e French tWang he said. |" With de cOmpli- ments of de General commanding, ] wish Go know who kilt dis roas, hog.

 The staff officer was Comtc de Paris. of General McCleilan's staff No fur- ther inquiry was ever instituted into the mystery of this foraging expodl- tiOn.
 Since the war he has served a term in Congress from New York. 4 few years ago he removed Go Nebraska, and now returns to Washington as a member of the Senate.

 One of thc singular natural pben- omena known jU llis section of Nor tana is 'le formation Of two gcvsers in the strip of country known as the " Sag about a mile and half from NIT. Patterson $ ranch, on the Shop- kin. it was first seen about month ago, but not until lately has it assum ed proportions which constitute it's wonderful formation IL is situated in small canyon running out from the wall Of rocks east of Alkai lake Two geysers have appeared, one of them being of monster proportions. throwing up a column of hot water and steam over 100 feet high, the oth CT spoUting about 90 feet, but with a larger proportion Ot water; diameter. about four inches. They are inter mIttcd in character and are active during the morning hours, about < or 9 o'clock. The formation of the conn try is sandstone and gneiss and has all the appearance of beisg an ancient river bed. What has produced tbIs curious phenOmenI it is, of course. only useless Co speculate, as there Is no evidence of ancient volcanic acjiv- fly and no hypothesis can be formed will account for it.

A PORTION of Los Angeles county wants t0 secede and set up for itself in the business of paying salaries to county officials. In the Assembly a bill was introduced creating the county of Orange. The Judiciary Committee pronounced It unconstitu- ti0naI. In the Senate @ bill was pro posed Co provide a general law for the organization of new counties. The Judiciary Committee declared it un- constitutional. Thus Southern Los Angeles county is told that neither by spcclal nor general law can she be dI- vorced from the unwelcome embrace of her northern worser half. This illustrates the confusion caused by changing our Constitution. No law yer knows what inc law is. It wIll take years of litigation and many vol tunes of decisions to Straighten out the muddle.-[S r. Bulletin.

 ' tiger, Co his sorrow. The Silver City Chronicle says; " He found the beast hard to tame, and, running short OC cheeks, upon very plausible repre- sen;alions induced John II. Mills to advance him $400 cash and become responsible Co the game for $500 more, representing Co Mills at the same time that he had SS,000 on deposit at the banking house of Porter & Crawford. The check was duly presented, and, of course, di>hOn0red. Mr Crawford Informed Mills that Burke has neither money nor credit at the bank.

corn and other crops very backward; grass
and fruit however promise well. We are
looking for hot weather in the immediate fu-
ture, to compensate for past frigidity.
