The Late John Bull.

1t is a sad fact that ever since the battle of
Waterloo the John Bulls have been dimin-
ishing in number, and with Landor the cult
waited John Bull died out altogether. When
Landor was fourishing at Bath, England was
still full of John Bulls-country squires, for
instance, hot-headed, clustering autocrats,
who respected (if they could not construe)
Latin, and who were Tory-republicans, hat
ing the French, loving liberty-the liberty of
the British squire to do as he liked. Add to
these qualities the qualities of genius and
scholarship, and we see the Landor of Pro-
fessor Colvin, "a nature passionate, unteach-
able, but withal noble, courageous, loving
hearted, beautiful, and wholesome to the
hearts core" His very recommendations
waller" for yellow. ''laylock' for lilac,
''Ko"m'' for Rome, ''woonderful' for wou-
deriul--were typical, as were his features,
his short arms, his entire physique.
Equally typical, too, was his immiscibility
"The worst of John Bull once said ia
nous American, sis that he won't mix; set
him where you will out of his own little pan
cake of an island, and he begins to quarrel
all around" When Land0r, (so0n after fall
ing in love with Wales and deciding to plant
it with cedars Of Lebanon) declared that ''the
earth contained no race Of human beings so
totally vile and worthless as the Welsh" he
did what he was all his life doing with regard
to every country and locality he ever vieited.

Tough. But True.

A very tough story comes from
Butte City, Montana, of a miner
named Patrick Mulligan, whose body
was pierced through by falling drill
i of J inch steel, over three feet in
length, which struck Mulligan in the
back, passing diagonally through his
body. Mulligan, SO the story goes,
took the protruding steel in his hands
aud by a powerful effort pulled the re-
mainder of the steel through his own
body. We have seen man pull the
best part Of the contents of bar
through his carcass, but he got it
through his mouth, and he didn't Go
much walking about town afterwards.

Tbs story of Pat Mulligan is true.

the Miner Office few days ago for a
copy Of the paper containing the &C
count of tho accident aad which init.

kably, live but few hours. Mull:.

people in Ireland, and though not en-.
tirely recovered from the wound pro.
duced by the drill running through
him, he is in fair way to recover
and enjoy life for years to come.

MutiIated Coins.

The Mint, Postofice and banks in
San Francisco Iefuse to take mutilat-
led coins except at discount. This
lied the express and railroad companies
Ito follow their example, with the diff
'ference-they will not take them at
.atl. We learn from our exchanges
that merchants all over the State are
up in arms for self protection against
.clipped, punched and mutiIated gold
land silver coins. The San Francisco
papers say that clipping and boring
coins has become regular business
lin that city. A little gold or silver
taken from each piece gives those en-
gagged in the mutilation good wages.
The merchants, to save themselves
from loss, adopted the following scale
sof discount, which is also observed at
the Mint: Twenty-dolIar pieces with
1holes in them are taken for $19; silver
Btlolars with holes In them at IS cents:
shalf-dollars, 80 cents; quarters, Is
cents, and dimes 5 cents. This action
sof the San Francisco merchants has
caused the defective coins to be sent
/ Ito the interior, and as the loss falls
ION business men who make remittan-
ces to San Francisco, where every
mutilated piece is taken at the above
discount, they have refused to take
| the coins in the western part of the
state. A law of Congress makes it a
crime punishable by fine or ir,prison-
ment to mutilate the coin currency Of

idaho Railroad Surveys.

Major Truax and party, who went
out to examine the approaches to the
Lo Lo Pass Of the Bitter Root noun
tains for railroad purposes, arrived at
Lewiston short time ago from
those mountains, highly elatsd
with his success. He reports that the
entrance height Of the summit
lat the pass is only 1897 feet
above the sea level, and the route up
1.-THE Lo Lo fork Of the Clearwater to
within fifteen miles Of the summit az
good, the maximum grade of no point
exceeding so feet per mile, and the
maximum grade of no point on the last
Fifteen miles exceeded 100 feet per
milo, and he believed that this can be
reduced to IS or 80; from the Clear
water river to the summit of the pass
it was but little over 700 feet. From
the summit east to the Bitter Root
river was an easy grade. Another
party is out viewing another pass tc
the south of this, that is deemed to be
several hundred feet lower, called the
"Skakaso." The examination of Tru.
ak has dispelled the theory of the Nor
thern Pacific surveyors, who asserted
that no railroad pass existed south Of
the Pen d'Oreille. This will shorter

to the mouth of the Bitter Root river

ON THE COW
STOCK.
The Most Colossal Mining i'm tn
World.


AS everyone knows. the Comstock
mines at the present time are all 10 .
|"borrasca," or poor ground, and not
one OF them to-day is paying dollar
|in dividends. On the contrary they
are all levying assessments, and are
spending enormous Sums in prospect
ling and driving after that will-of-theI
lwisp bonanza, that is forever beingI
predicted as just little beyond theI
levels of every mine on the lode. Thel
Yellow Jacket, that at one time had q
famous bonanza which paid in divi-|
dends $2,l84,00O previous to 1871
and which has been steady assess
ment for the greater part of the last
ten years, has prospected the lode to|
a depth exceeding 5000 feet by Al
shaft which, on the first of July last
bad cost, without interest, $751;
203.53, and is yet without ore. The
assessments Of this company have al
ready amounted to $4,09S, 900, and du-
ring the year ending June 80, 1881,
the expenses of running the mine
were $549, 74O, of which $27 ,23O were
on account of and for driving the SUI
tro Tunnel. During the year 1855
feet Of drifts we're run, and $50 feet Of
diamond drill prospect holes, which
was all the effective prospecting done
for over half a million dollars. The
greater part of the outlay was for
pumping and repairs. The superin-
tsndent says: From April 18th,
when connection was made with the
kSutro Tunnel, to June Goth, we
pumped and hoisted 100000 gal
Ions or $50, 900 tons of water. We
have since that time had steady
{fow of so miners inches, or 729 gal
Ions per minute. This amount, 2-7
ton per minute or about $500 tons a
1day, is raised from the 5000 foot lev
lei to the Sutro Tunnel, nearly 1900
feet, and involves an expense greater
than that required to work some q
the largest and most profitable mines
in the country. Yet at the present
thine the Yellow jacket is simply a
prospect, and all these expenditures
are merely prospecting expenses in.
