Back from Colorado.

W. W. Stephens (Doc.) returned
from Colorado Yesterday. He goes
back to his old home at Sutro, where
he says he will remain in future.
Colorado is a good place in many
respects, but man with four-dol,
lar job in Nevada had better keep it,
Doc. was at st. Elmo where F. B.
Mercer, J. 7. Garnet and other Sut
ro ties went. Garnet left st. Elmo for
the Ute country before Doc, left.
Mercer and five Others have con-
tract to run a tunnel 1-mile on a
claim known as the Davis, in Pome-
roy Gulch. They are all thin king
of selling out and returning to the
Comstock. There are three pretty
good mines 10 st. Elmo district, the
Murphy, the Ridgeway and the Lii
on's Den. The other mines are
merely prospect holes. A stranger
can get no chance to take up any
claims as the country is almost all
located, and hole sunk ten feet
holds the ground for year. The
Murphy mine above mentioned is
one of the highest in the world, be-
ing at an elevation of 1,200ft. On
his way back Doc. came through
Denver, which he says is as prosper
Gus place as he ever saw. Large
buildings are in course of erection
on all sides, and he thinks that 500
laborers could get work at from $50
to 2.75 per day.

A Valuable Invention.

A resident of Dayton has invented
a covering for Dteam pipes which
will meet demands not hitherto sup
piled by coverings now in use. The
asbestos covering is almost indie.
structible, and is but a very poor
conductor of heat. Its value con
sists in its retaining its properties
for a long time so far as its non-con
ductive properties extend. Our
Dayton invention is the substitution
of powdered glass, which conducts
heat in considerably less degree
thnn asbestos, and is indestructible
to all practical purposes in the situa-
tons where it will be used. The
glass is placed in a thin. double sack
which surrounds the pipes, and after
being placed in position the destruc-
ton of the inner coating is imma-
terial, as the glass retains its position.
Its conducting powers being so much
smaller than asbestos, and the cost
of the material being so slight as
com pared with others now in use,
the Introduction of the new covering
in all works where saving of heat
and expense is a desideration will
be rapid. The inventor has fled an
application for patent and will
begin the manufacture and sale with.
in short time.

BLUE BLOOD.
A Curious Freak of Monaghan Ma
ture.

For some months China man has
been working on ranch in Mason
Valley who attracted attention owing
to his particularly murky complex
ion. Last week while irrigating one
of the fields on his employers ranch
his foot got caught in the irrigator
and was badly torn. His injuries,
which, though painful were not Sc
rious, received prompt attention and
the circumstance would have scarce
ly been remembered had il not becu
observed that the blood flowing from
the wound was not red but deep blue.
1t was the same as ordinary blood in
consistency and all but color. After
a short exposure to the atmosphere
it became clotted and formed blue
ish black mass. His strange com
plexion IS easily accounted for now,
but unfortunately no scientific per-
son saw him in time to investigate
the curious condition of his circula-
ton, and it has not yet been ex-
planned. His food is the same as
eaten by his fellows, and the remark
able color Is probably hereditarys 1t
may be that he is lienal descendant
of Ccnfucius or some other ancient
notable of the Celestial Empire.
There is a movement on foot on the
part of physicians in the Valley to
pursuaje him 10 allow them to open
a vein and artery in his arm and let
them obtain small quantity of both
veinous and arteriaI blood for the
purpose of having it analysed.
