~JOck,''

Much has been written IN praise Of the
wonderful intelligence Of dogs, while cats
have been credited with little sagacity. In
fact, they are considered as the disturbers
n midsummer night, and made the recip-
tent Il extra profanity and old boots. An
this erroneous estimate.
a gentleman in the West owned cat
which was large. handsome, and intelli.
gent. lie had taught puss to perform one
or two clever tricks. While the gentle.
man .'ined, Jock would seat himself on his
masters shoulder. Demurcly catching
each mouthiul he transferred from his
plate to his mouth, Jock patiently waited
until his muster should hold piece Of
meat on the fork, not far from, his own
mouth.
Recognizing the mute invitation Jock
would reach forward, and daintily sciz-
ing the morsel with his claw, convey it tu
his mouth, eating with one paw like we'll
bred cat, without in the least soiling any.

On one occasion, the bishop q: the do

before Dime, been playing with Jock. Al
dinner-time, not knowing Of puss, accom-
plis.,ment he allowed him to seat h;msel
on his shoulder.
The first courses had been removed, anc
the meat served. The bishop cut small
piece, and placed it nigh his mouth, ant
being in the midst Of a sentence, held i

his sentence, he put the fork into his noutl

a second piece was cut and in like man

question. Again, on plscing the fork I
his lips, he discovered that it held nothing

Knowing, however, that he was absen

The family, who had been silent, thong

A Cruel Joke.

There is an old joke-an old joke which
we all have heard-that was the means OF
getting boy into trouble. Yesterday eve
ming Young Bolivar went home, and enter.

"Say, ma, have you heard about Mr.
Braley:"
"Why, no. answered Mrs. Bolivar witt
an air OF surprise. what about him:'
"rhis morning he got up early"
ayes; go on"

and remarked that he felt very well.
"Go on" exclaimed Mrs. Bolivar, alter Il
short pause.
'Just wait. lie said that he felt unusu.
ally we'll. While Mrs. Bralcy was getting
breakfast he went out and shelled a lot Of
corn for the pigs. lie came back to tho
louise still saying that he felt well.'

Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-03-02

An opinion has long prevailed on the
part Of many persons that the extreme
heat in the lower levels Of the Comstock
mines of Nevada is solely due to their
great depth. 1t is an established fact that
the heat existing there is so great in places
that the miners can work in only ten and
fifteen minute shifts, and then in q state OF
comparative nudity. A scientist, who has
given a great deal Of thought to the rub
feet, claims from the deductions he has
made that this heat alone ID the result OF
chemical action, such as the presence OF
limestone, which decomposes rapidly when
attacked by carbonic acid gas and the &C
ton Of water, qualities which are ever
present in the mines. The decomposition
causes the generation and emulation OF In.
tense heat, which, being largely confined
in circumscribed space, greatly affects the
comfort and convenience OF the delivers OF
the deep, whilst they are engaged In dis,
lodging the argentiferous ores. The hot
springs in Colorado and other States &C
qIuire their heat through q similar action
and not by reason Of depth and this fac
goes far towards s~ubstantiating the theory
advanced. Mines of greater depth have
been worked in Europe without the inccn
v~enience Of such intense heat being ex
perienced, and indications exist that tn
mines in Old Mexico have been worked IA
lower down than those on the Comstoci
lode.

How They Beat Us.

The Grant County Herald. N. NJ, says :
GAS soon as q connection between the
Southern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroads shall have been
affected, the palace car Of Franklin Nc
veagh l. Co., wholesale grocers Of Chicago,
will be run forward into Grant County,
and the merchants Of this section will be
invited to partake Of the hospitality Of the
firm named. This car has been fitted up
at an expense Of $40, 900. specially for the
hrm, and while in Southern New Mexico.
will be under the charge OF G. A. Stein, who
Is now in Silver City. The entertainments
given on the car are said TO be first-class in
every respect. II is certainly 9 novel and
expensive. but doubtless an effective
method OF Advertising" We have yet to
learn, says the San Francisco Stock Ex-
change, that any Of our merchants are pre-
pared to send even q freight car or o drum
mer into New Mexico or Arizona.

The Philadelphia North American sug-
gested not long ago, while commenting on
a mining horror, the expediency Of adopt
ing electric light to the needs and pur-
poses Of the underground worker, remark
ing then that the continuance might be so
arranged that even gross carelessness or
wilful wickedness on the part of the miner
could not become accessory to an explosion
Of gas. From the experiments Illustrated
at the Franklin Institute recently, it would
appear that the idea has at last been fairly
taken hold Of by electricians, and il is to
be hoped that the matter will be prose-
cuted with skill and diligence in all its de-
tails until something approaching perfec-
ton in the nature OF q miners safety lamp
is arrived at. Considering the magnitude
Of the interests involved. the frightful sac
rifces of human life which are SO frequent
and so appalling, n the enormous dam
age to property, with consequent loss OF
investments and loss OF productive time,
which the uncovering OF one little lamp
may involve, it is q great reproach to sci
ence, to and to humanity that
no improvement has been made in so vital
q direction since Sir Humphrey Davy COM
pleted his safety lamp In December, 1915.
The advantage Of the electric light does
not stop at the point Of diminishing dan
| ger. but has the additional merit of giving
a penetrating ray before which the cavern
| GUS gloom Of the earth's bowels shrinks
away like a guilty creature. It is almost
uncomfortable that this matter should have
been so long neglected but now that 1t has
| been taken hold of. we trust that the devel-
opment will be pushed with q vigor com
m%ensurate with the importance OF the sub
ject and the demands Of an age Of progress
and Of humanitarianism.

OUR AMATEURS.
SecOnd Production of 1.-THE Lady
of Lyons"

Second Production of 1.-THE Lady
of Lyons
The performance at the Opera House
last night drew an audience that filled
about two-thirds Of the building, repre-
senting, as it did on the first evening, the
fashionable and intelligent portion of the
community, to whose numbers were added
many from Ruby Hill, including several
members Of the Silver State Dramatic
Club. That the piece was thoroughly
enjoyed was manifest from the
constant applause that greeted the
company, and it was unmis-
takably smoother in action and more fin
ished in detail. As "Claude Melnotte'
Mr.. Allen again gave the audience a strong
impersonation, and whether exhibiting
| the tender and emotional nature or de-
/ plotting the powerful feeling of a man en-
deavoring to control his passions or sub
due his grief, he moved from stage to stage
with the art and ease Of an accomplished
actor. His eloquent description of the
palace by the Lake of Como and his recital
to " Pauline in the cottage again held his
auditors in breathless attention, and at
| their conclusion were accorded hearty ap-
| plause. Mrs. Hetzel's Pauline was an
improvement on the first evening. 1t was
more even, freer from restraint, but
still lacked force and sarcasm in
the cottage. The tender scenes
were finely rendered and her sympathetic
voice, full of emotion, reached the inner
most recesses Of the heart. Such acting
would grace the professional stage. Mr..
Vanderlieth's "Beauseant" was in many
respects also an improvement IN the first
evening, but several slight breaks
in his dialogue marred the part
slightly, no doubt occasioned by nervous
ness, something rather unusual for the
young gentleman. There was less of the
tragic and boisterous in his style, which
was quite an acceptable change. Mrs.
Cole appeared and acted like an humble
mother happy in the possession of an only
and absolute devotion. The scenes be-
very affecting and touched the flial nature.
Miss Daisy Wendell was again happy as
the proud and inconsistent dame, "Des-
~chappelle," and gave the usual emphasis
to her lines. Colonel Damas improves
with age, like wine, and gave considerable
life to the closing scene. The balance OF
the characters were also well taken,
especially that Of the land
lord and "Gaspar," the latter, by
Mr.. Lynes, being admirably taken.
The orchestration was again a feature of
the evening, and drew frequent applause.
The entertainment was artistically and
financially quite q success.

One Result OF "Hard Times
rs. r, Daily Report.l


The Tombstone Epitaph is calling atten-
tention to Arizon's copper. 1t says it is
not thought enough about as yet. 1t re-
minds miners that almost instantaneous
success has attended every intelligently d.
rected effort at copper production, and the
railroads have now rendered copper de-
posts valuable, which only o short time
age were comparatively worthless. Fur
Their it says
1t is only necessary to point to the Cop
per Queen and Longfellow copper mines
to show what can be don't with compare
lively little capital. There is not a silver
mine in Arizona to-day the profits from
which are as large as from either Of these
copper mines in proportion to the amount
ofmoney spent before the productive point
was attained. These miners, we believe, are
the pioneers Of the large number which
will one day furnish the greater quantity
of this very useful metal for Americas
consumption. The advantages Of this
branch Of mining for the mar with small
capital are manifest. Nearly every promi-
nent range of mountains in Southern Ari-
zona contains large deposits Of copper ore,
and in a majority of cases in the best
possible form for profitable reduction.
Many of these deposits have been over
looked in the search for the precious
metals, but before long they will be taken
in hand by shrewd men who know their
value.
The Epitaph does good service..in direct
ing attention to the fact that miners can do
we'll and even get rich in other ways than
by discovering a gold or silver mine. If
the depression in the Comstock mines re-
suits in the scattering owe the face Of the
country of skillful, energetic and industri-
GUS men, ready to mine copper or any
other minerals which will pay to take out,
it will have done more good to the Coast
and to the whole country than would have
a bonanza in Alta, Hale & Norcross or 81
ezra Nevada or in all three. 1t is bad when
the glamour Of gold and silver is over the
eyes Of q community, and we are glad to
see 1t banished by hard times and railroads

Inducements for Capital.

A New York correspondent Of the Bel

ward I had the pleasure to travel In COM
pany with Nevada's Senator, J. P. Jones.
together with several gentlemen who are
interested in Colorado mines, when the
relative merits Of mines in Nevada and
other States were freely discussed. Sena-
tor Jones remarked that he had travelled
over a great part of Colorado and examined
various mining districts in that State, but
that Nevada. with all its drawbacks Of
high labor and freights, would seem to him
to offer more inducements for capital in
vestments in mines, on account of more
permanent mineral resources than In other
States. Senator Jones had not much to
say about the infamous outrages commit
ted on the people by the Central Pacific
Railroad, but, ! believe he feels them
keenly and Is likely to favor the Reagan
bill, il it ever will come up before

The Future Mining outlook.
From the News of Saturday.

From the News Of Saturday.
The outlook for the future Of Cherry
Greek is brighter to-day than at any time
since the district was discovered. When
Spring fairly opens. and work in the vari-
GUS mines Of the district resumed, we shall
hear but little of our miners going off to
Arizona, New Mexico and other remote
sections in search of what we have at home.
Old miners in this district well know that
there are now within a radius OF three
miles, in the mineral belt back of Cherry
Greek, siE or eight as good mines as to be
found aaywhere in the State, which Q little
capital would in q short time convert into
bullion-producing properties. As our
mines go down the ore increases In guam
tity and richness, and the veins everywhere
are true assures. We think that our dis
trict has passed its stagnant period, and
henceforth. for years to come, she will be
on the rising scale. In a month or SO
every idle man in our town, who wants
work, will be employed. We are sanguine
that this camp is just entering upon an era
Of prosperity which, while it may not prove
SO dazzling as some Of the camps in this
State that have passed away, will be far
more permanent.
