srCKENED WITH THE SACK.
Two Old CaIiforrians Who Know
fha Dowor M Cash

Two Old CaIiforpians who Know
In Power of Cash.
Last week an old resident Of Stockton
delivered q lecture before q club In that
city, and the following extract is made
from the Mail report:
81 honestly believe that there are some
people in San Joaquin County who despise
me, and who would spit upon my old bat
tered dusty hat, and well worn clothes if
they dared, merely because l am saving,
and peddled fish on my wedding trip. But
l can take out my money sack and make
them all sick"
The Salt Lake Tribune says this calls to
mind an incident in the early history of
San Francisco. There was an old man
known as the Coulter Snipe," who went
round the streets picking up refuse matter
and eating it. He lived in q little dirty
room like q beast in q pen and ate only
what he could find in the gutter, always
refusing charity and those who pitied the
mans misfortunes and poverty would fire.
q%uently throw bread and meat in the gutter
for him to find. One day he picked up a
quarter of a dollar, bouncing upon it like
q hound upon a hare. Sc and get q
square meal" said a bystander, Il had
iatuor save the uiouey, WE VIC reply anu
he fell to picking up the scraps again. At
this the crowd laughed oerisively and the
"Gutter Snipe' turning upon them said:
"You think that / care for money. I'll
throw single-handed more $50 pieces in
the bay thar your crowd can combined"
They thought it would be a grand sight to
see the "Gutter Snipe" throw 500 pieces
into the water, and they went down to the
foot of Commercial street wharf where it |
was agreed they would throw away as
much as he. The old man opened the ball
by casting five twenties into the water.
The astonished ~scoffers held back, but the
crowd laughed and jeered. and they were
obliged to follow suit. The old man in
stantly pitched five more gold pieces into
the water, at which his tormentors paused,
and then skunk away up town. As they
turned away he hurled another 800 into
the water as if he cared much less for the
gold than the garbage he fished up from
the gutter. Then he turned away re-
marking, 81 can make 'em all SICK"

Blasting without Drills.

An Austrian engineer has discovered a
new method Of d~isintegrating rocks. The
chief feature Of his system is to employ a
hollow cylinder like a gaspipe and to place
a dynamite cartridge, not as hitherto in
a hole bored into the rock to be blasted
but in the cylinder in question. The cart
ridge only touches the surface OF the rock
which it is desired to shatter. The explo-
sion Of the dynamite is effected by means
Of electricity, and the effect is said 10 be
greater than the usual cartridge in q hole
bored in o rock. The rock is shattered
into fragments 30 small that a fair stream
is able to wash them away without help,
whereas in the case of gunpowder the rock
is only split up in blocks more or less
troublesome to remove. The system Ii
calculated to effect q saving Of fully 40 per
cent as compared with the old system.

A few days ago o gentleman. who occa-
sionally takes q "fyer" in mining stocks
met a member Of the Hibernia gang.
Hello, old man said the Hibernian,
" I have a good point for you"
What is it2"
"Sell all the Hibernia you can the
stocks going to 10 cents"
"How do you know?"
"Never mind how I know I do know.
Now you sell It,"
well, I've taken one or two points
from you before, and always have been bit

The San Francisco Alta says We can
not help objecting to one thing that has
been done in behalf of the Garfield Monu-
ment Fund. We allude to the taking Of
subscriptions in the public schools. 1t is
a bad precedent. 1t cannot help working
injury. No matter how good the cause,
its appeal for help ought not to be made in
the schools. The schools have but one
purpose, the education Of children and
all other matters introduced therein in
jure their efficiency. Already one teacher
has sought to get permission to take up a
collection among his Owl pupils, and in
time there would be a hundred schemes,
equally good, urged upon the children.
Many OF the parents Of these children are
poor. The wasteful management Of the
schools imposes a heavy burden upon all
who pay taxes. The decent clothing Of the
children and the furnishing Of school
books, etc., taxes the OF many
parents. 1t Ia an imposition to force
these children into the position Of plead.
ing their poverty, appearing mean, or con-
tributing money needed at home. We
don't care how small may be the sum
asked. There are families who have to
carefully use every ive-cent piece. No
man or woman with a subscription list, a
book to sell, a paper to seek subscriptions
for, or any other money-begging object,
should be permitted to enter the schools.

A characteristic person, returned to vir-
ginia from San Francisco, tells the follow
ing tale Of the hard Comstock formation
encountered there recently by the crank
worked drill of the acrobatic "boy
preacher" Harrison: Dick Dey, Billy
Wood and Judge Mesick dropped in at the
Howard-street Church one evening, and
by their air of pious interest at once riv-
eted the attention of the juvenile ex-
FOUNDER, who vaulted over the
altar rails and with a dexterous
sacerdotal fip-fap landed on his feet in
front Of the astonished trio:
"Glory |" shouted Harrison. son
earth peace How do you feel, brother ? "
he excitedly asked Of Dick.
"Mighty dry |" said Richard, with glad
haste, reaching for his hat, in which move
he was eagerly seconded by Mesick and
Wood.
"Back, Satan " shouted the youthful
prodigy in horror, and then broke out
into a stirring revival hymn, under cover
Of which the disappointed trio slid out OF
church and into the nearest saloon-at
their own expense.

THE HORN SILVER NINE.
Experts Find IL to be tho Biggest
in the World.


Tit Horn Silver mine, located near Frisco,
Utah, abonS 225 miles southwest from
Salt Lake City, is just now coming to the
front as a great bullion producing prop
erty, but we think the experts who were
sent out by Eastern capitalists to inspect
and report upon the condition OF the
mine are q little too enthusiastic. One Of
them says: "In figuring the mean width
between walls the difficulty has been in
finding any wall to measure FROM" The
average width OF vein, running from % to
67 feet, is given at 30 feet, and estimates
OF ore from assays made from the output
OF a years production places the value at
about 81 ounces Of silver and A per cent
lead per ton. Prof. Newberry Of the
Columbia School Of Mines says: 1.-THE
Horn Silver mine contains the most valu-
able body OF silver ore known to exist in
any mine in the world" And again,
'The Horn Silver mine stands to-day as
having a greater ascertsined value thar
any other silver mine known" 1t is fur
ther claimed Of this wonderful property
that extensive smelling works have been
erected at Salt Lake City and Franklyn,
In addition to those at Frisco, and
that in Chicago a refinery is in
operation with a present capacity OF
go tons per day, whose output of
silver bullion is said to be the purest
received at the New York Assay Office.
The bullion production for September,
from two furnaces at Franklyn and two
at Frisco, ia given at 1893 tons lead and
143,48 ounces silver; gross value dead
500 per ton and silver 81 10 per ounce,
$241 $3.50. The net earnings for the month
are estimated at over $50, 900. The Chi
cago Mining Review a dividend
on the stock of rs cents per share, and as
there are 400, 900 shares in the mine, it will
require q disbursement Of $500, 600. There
may have been a little surplus on hand,
but as the assertion is made that 5-cent
dividends would continue indefinitely, it
will strike old stock sharps in the West as
q little difficult to disburse $500, 900 in
dividends per month from q net output
only OF $3.50. 900. But the report Of the
experts is refreshing, and we regret to see
that the biggest mine in the world" is
only bringing $16 per share in the New
York stock market. Language would have
failed the Professors had they ever got a
glimpse Of a Eureka bonanza.

perance are the pleas to draw them together.
Annual reports are read and lectures delivered.
which are listened to by thousands OF inter-
ested hearers. The Presby terians, indeed, ap-
pear to have heartily accepted the camp meet
ing idea from their Methodist brethren. and
are carrying it into practice with that syste-
matte precision in detail which is their char
acteristic. They have monster Sunday school

twelve to fifteen meetings held daily" "iilu-
minated tents, banners" etc, etc.

gathered at Ocean Grove, where, although
the exercises are but just begun, over 10. 900
people are in attendance at the services.
Meetings are conducted as often by women
as by men, and there is much en-
thusiasm. The first part of tho time
will be given to temperance conventions and
the last to the work pure and simple of saving
souls. To this end all she eloquence, argument
and machinery for systematic appeals TO the

them to buy their own farms. 1t is another
fact that this same sovereign, whose life was
