A New Eastern Bonanza.

The recent discovery, near Thebes Of a bO-
nanza of ancient Egyptians is one q of the
most important discoveries OF the century.
Surface indications of mummies and other
objects OF archaeological interest had been
known to exist for some time in . mountain
gorge about four miles east of the Nile, and
Herr Brugsch Of the Boulak Auseum made q
prospecting tour III that region last June. On
exploring pit 35 feet deep he struck q vein
of great richness, which has since been work.
ed for dist nee of nearly 200 feet. This
vein consist principally OF Egyptian Kings,
Queens aud Princesses, of whom 80 have a.
ready been taken out. With these dead
Egyptians are also found large quantity OF
manuscripts, jewels, gods,1 and other usefnl
and interesting objects. 4 careful assay shows
that the vein yields about seven mummies to
the ton, together with about 30 per cert, Dy
weight, of gods and manuscripts. In point
of richness this vein--or rather pocket--has
hitherto never been equalied in the annals of
archaeological mining. haH. ..rs1. .v5 F..

naDza ought to attract the attention of those

Mining is inexpensive in Egypt, since there
are no rocks to blast, and nothing to dig
4 through except sand. 1t would pay to work
a vein yielding only one mummy to the ton,
4 but as a matter of fact mummies are always
found in jewellery bearing strata, so that after
4 the mumnies are taken out the sand can be
| protitably worked for gold and silver orna-,
ments and small gods. ANY mummy mining
company that can make satisfactory ar
rangement with the khedi7e, and begin work,

sure to strike Inummies and papyri in paying
quantities, and to make dividend within six
months after driving the first spade into the

years ago, 50 there is little fear that the mines

MINING MANUALS.
Latest Authorities on Mineralogy.

Dana's "Aineralogy" has long been recog-
nized as standard authority, and the edition
of 1881, revised by the author, Professor
Dana of Harvard University, is more than
ever calculated to satisfy scientific readers.
A corresponding hand book of geology is to
be found in the last edition of the work,
bearing that name, bys Professor LeConte, a
recos snized authority on all scientific subjects.
More valuable perhaps, to practical man
than either of these, Is u little compendium Of
assaying, by Ricketts,, called "Notes on Assay
ing" Every assayer and miner will find it a
good travelling companion.
To students who wish to 60 deeper into the
mysteries of chemical analysis "Qualitative
and Quantit ative Analysis" by Fresen"s, is
recognized as the standard both in Europe
and America.

TIE ACQUISITION.

Cd.
Work Oh the Acquisition has been suspen-
ded for the winter. Monday arrange
ments were made for the final winter stop
page, and all operations came to an end.
There was some difficulty in getting materi-
ais for the works over the shaft, and opera
tions could not be carried on any longer
without cover over it. The ore body struck
some week or two ago whic' was much talked
of, was quite as rich as reported. 1t ran $500
in gold aid 800 ounces in silver. The regu-
lar average of the ore taken out for some
time past has been from 81 10 100 ounces.
" len work begins again in the spring rich
developments may be expected.
THE ORIGINAL BUTTE.
There was talk on the streets day or two
ago of trouble from heavy head of water but
Mr.. Monalan, the superintendent, assured us
Monday that the trouble had not been al
great as was supposed, and that the watel
was now well under con rel. The report
had been that the pumping engine was itse
under water,ss but this was without founda
zion. The cave just south of the hosting
works was occasioned by the sinking OF tin
surface over points where ore had been takeI
out year or two ago. This has finally beel
filled up, the earth from about hundret
feet of the shaft having been dumped into it
The water trouble was occasioned by TIN
flowing of water from these old excavations
The shaft at the Original Butte is now dowI
about 220 feet. The vein 4lay be struck a
almost any point now, by efosseutting, at
distance of fifty feet from the shaft. ~.

BUTTE, Montana, Sept. 26.--The Flathead
Indians live in the beautiful valley of the
Bitter Root, the garden spot of Montana, and
there for many years have occupied their fer
tile, frut-producing prairies in spite of the
machinations of prospectors and Indian
agents. A year or two ago Gen. Garfield was
sent ont ~ Congress as the representative Of
the government in the difficulties between
the settlers aud the Flatheads, which at the
time of his visit seemed to have crystallized.
Congressman Garfield came through Butte

Mysteries of Mining.

81 don't see what they want to salt claim
for" said a meek-eyed tenderfoot; 81 don't
understand how they DO it."
"Well, you sec, a hot season like this they
have to salt The claim lots of times to keep it.
fresh claim is good enough for atenderfoot,
but the old-timers won't look at anything but
picked claim. You know every claim has
quartz. Some more and some less. You
find out how many quartz there are, and then
put in so many pounds Of salt to the quart.
Wildcat claims require more salt, because
the wildcat will spoil quicker than anything
else.
"Sometmes you catch a sucker, too, and
you have to put him in brine pretty plenty or
you lose him. That's one reason why they
salt a claim. Then again you often grub
stake a man ..
"But what's grub stake ?"
"Well, grub stake is a stake that the boys
hang their grub on so they can carry it. Lots
of mining men have been knocked cold by
blow from grub stake. What wanted TO
say, though, was this: You will probably
strike at first free-miling poverty, with indi-
cations of something else. Then you will
no doubt strike bedrock Or a true fssure
gopher hole, with traces of disappointment.
That's the time to put in your salt. You can
shoot it into the shaft with a double-barreled
shot gun, Or wet it and apply it with white
wash brush. If people turn up their noses
at your claim then, and say it is snide. and
that they think there is something rotten in
Denmark, you can tell them that they are
clear off and that you have salted your claim
and know it is all right
The last seen of the tenderfoot he was
buying double barreled shot gun and ten
pounds OF rock salt. There's no doub
but mining camp is the place to send a
young man who wants to acquire knowledge
and fill his system full of information that
will be useful to him as long as he lives

that is hot generally known in kissing, that,
for the most electrical results, one kisser
should be blonde and the other a brunette,
representing the opposite poles ofa battery.
This statement is evidently a scheme to bull
the market on blondes. The blondes num-
ber about ono to four in proportion to the
brunettes, and, to carry out the magne t
idea, each blonde of either sex would have a
whole bunsh OF brunsttes to kiss.
