We have heard so much of the beauties of
Mountain Lake, that we had Il great desire to
view it; and by invitation from my worthy
friend, Mr. William Henry, proprietor of the
Henry House, and his most cstimabe wife,
we embarked on Wednesday, August oath, at
eight a. M. for the lake. Our ride there was,
well, as they term 1t, simply immcnse!" so
romantic and picturesque was the scenery
One need not go to Switzerland, neither to
Italy for the beauties and grandeur of nature
when we have it right here at home and in
our own county. We arrived at the lake at
ten o'clock. and such hungry beings, / really
believe never before existed, as we had fast
ed fourteen hours for the event. but our host
ess, Mrs. Henry, soon had the table spread,
and ladened with all the edibles of the season
even to ice cream &c. So sumptuous was the
repast, that your humble servant groaned for
twenty-four hours afterward. Then came the
boating on the lake, which WAS enjovcd bv all
to their satisfaction, and IL ramble through
the woods. At five o'clock we started for
home arriving at eight, feeling well paid for
our DAYS recreation and long for repetition.

New Mines Discovered,

An old prospector named StOddard
has discovered what are supposed to be
valuable mines about four miles west of
Palisade, on the Central Pacific Railroad.
Three assays Of the ore ranged from
SOS to So 90 per ton in gold and silver
The walls Of an old hut built by a wood
chopper, near the principal ledge, some
years ago, are said to be made of ore
that will average 500 to the ton. The
discovery has created great excitement
at Palisade, and every man in the place
who could leave his business has gone
off to the mines.

A Long Shot.

The TiDaes-Rerie,O says: Mountain
sheep are about the scarcest game in
this vicinity and about the hardest to
kill. Mr.. T. Farthing however sue
ceeded in bringing one down yesterday
with his Winchester rifle. He dis
covered it about nine miles from here
near Bonanza Hill and fired at it from
a distace of four hundred yards, hitting
it squarely in the breast. The ball came
out Of the belly and passing on,
broke one of the animals hind legs. 1t
was quite fat and weighed about fifty
pounds. It had short wool on the back
sides, but the other portions of the body
is covered with hair like goat. The
writer is indebted to Mr.. Farthing for
several fine chops from the animal.
They were very tender and juicy, with
a fine flavor, and bearing about the
same relation to tame mutton that VEN
ison does to beef.

A force Of miners yesterday began
exploring the body of quartz cut some
time ago by the south branch of the
Sutro tunnel at point 800 feet east of
the Yellow Jacket shaft. From the
widening out Of this quartz to the
northward, it is possible that what has
been found is the extreme southern
point of an ore body. The quartz give S
assays as high as SO to the ton and
the prospect is promising one. Re-
ferring to the feeling on this develop
ment below, yesterdays San Francisco
Post says at the half-past 8 session of
the San Francisco Board Yellow Jacket,
which sold as high as 81 last evening,
receded to GO, with large sales from
leading parties, who are evidently not
in favor of marked rise at present.
The development in the south header
of the Sutro tunnel lin Yellow Jacket
ground) and the favorable indications
on the 1923 and 5000 levels, have
drawn some of the powers into the
field, and they are evidently manipu-
lating to buy the stock at low figures.

Editorial Vanity.

Photographers all over the country
have been somewhat astonished during
the past week at a rush of newspaper
patronage. Newspaper writer's as a rule
whose faces are sickled DER with the
pale cast of thought and the dinginess
of smoking lamps are not desirable sub
jects for the Photographer. The cause
of the sudden picture revival among the
journalistic fraternity arises from the
fact that VT and Wisdom, a comic paper
published in New York, announces that
it will soon begin the publication of the
brilliant photographers of the United
States.

THE INTELLIGENT MULE.
Mr.. Dasgett's Theories Regarding Him
Sustained.

/ When Congressman Daggett first be
gan to endorse the mental attributes O
the mule and threatened to lecture or
the subject he was supposed to be ir
jest. Since, however, public attention
was reused to the fact that the mule
was little lower then the human new
instances are constantly recorded of the
animals sound sense and sagacity. Mr..
II. Monk, a we'll known citizen of Car
son, relates curious instance of the
mules profound cunning. He had a
pair of mules he used to drive to Pla-
cerville and found that 1000 pounds of
freight was about the right load. For
three years the mules pulled the wagon
and 1000 pounds and old not murmur
at the task. One day in very urgent
case he was obliged to carry an extra
hundred pounds. He kept the tally in
little book of the load carried and
this time putting down the amount
"21O0 pounds, March 16th," he mad
vertently laid the open book down on a
bench and when the mules came up to
be harnessed one of them glanced at
the book and gave great snort. The
other rushed up Immediately and glanc-
ing at the figures shook his head and
stamped his foot determinedly.
~ was fool enough" continued Mr..
Monk, "not to observe those weather
signs. 1 hitched up the mules; they
gave one pull, realized that the figures
were Correct and then kicked the wagon
and harness all to pieces. They knew
that extra hundred pounds wasn't in
the contract. When they got to work
with their heels everything seemed to
go to pieces at once. / never before
realized what fiimsy thing a Stude-
baker wagon was. Never try to play
roots on mule, boys. The lesson cost
me four thousand dollars and / believe
there's a suit yet for damages to the
baggage wornin' along in some of those
California courts. I've been stayin' the
thing off so that the mules'll die and
not be rung in against me on the wit
ness stand"
