Philip Stager has been awarded the
contract for timbering and sinking the
shaft of the General Sayles lode, 100
feet deeper.
J. W. Sayles reports crops in Texrs
very short, but rail-roading on boom
and but little interest taken in mining.
His company have decided to p',sh
work upon their property vigorously.
The Pihono Lode is in pee,er ba
sin and extends ovef into Ruby basin.
1t is new lead Upon which the asses
ment was finished last week. The
vein is from ~ to ; feet wide, with
we'll defined walls, has IL foot face
worked on it and recent assays show
S ozs. in gold and 1S ozs. IN silver
per ton. Owned by Mike Cowley
and others.
In recent conversation with Mr..
Reed, Of the Sampling firm of Rose,
Reed & Co.. we obtained informa-
ton Of the steady improvement in the
production of mineral in our camp,
which agreeably surprised US.
They report about 12 mines ship
ping ore to their works; that the
quantity is steadily increasing and
that the grade is of a much higher
average than any camp in the coun-
try, being worth nearly 5000 per ton.
This in the face of the fact that the
firm is offeriug to buy 20 OF. o.e,
makes showing of which we justly
feel proud. There are no drones
around the Sampling Works; every
member of the firm, Rose, Reed and
Williamson, pull off their coats and
pitch in, and each of them is thorough
ly acquainted with all the details con-
nected with operating the mill, from
the running of the engine to tying up
ore sacks.

FROM THE BASINS NORTH
OF THE RANGE.

EDITOR PILOT: Your correspondent
has been tramping around a little over
the mountains and will mention some
of the objects of interest he has seen.
First, he will take you to Kansas basin,
which is beautifully situated for min
ing purposes, on the North Anthracite,
and is literally vast store house of
mineral. Veins cross the basin every
few yards and they in turn are crossed
by other leads. So there is a perfect
net work of mineral underlying the
formation. In this basin are located
the Rose America and Little Oracle
lodes, both carrying galena ana white
iron, which runs we'll in silver from
the surface. Above them is the Joker,
a we'll defined lead; which carries ga
lena, native, &ife and brittle silver,
and is one Of the most promising
properties he ever visited. Then there
is the Leroy, lead forty feet wide,
with plainly defined walls; the lead
can be traced for a distance of nearly
SIX miles cutting right through the
formation. This lode if situated in
the older mining districts Of the State,
would be stocked for million at least.
There is another lode situated ON the
divide between Kansas and Hard
scrabble basins, that is worthy of men,
tion: The Kansas lode, solid galena,
running Sc OF. silver and 81 per cent.
lead, almost at the surface. This is
an eight foot vein and has an IS in.
pay streak at the surface. There is
no development on the claim except
about a twelve foot assessment hole;
but the lead could be easily opened
by tunnel, (Which l understand the
owners contemplate doing and sew:

tie work. These claims were all To-
Gated this season and are the property
of C.. r. RenShaw. w. II. Mannino
S. G. Smith, E. Groth and ]. R: Will
son. The Swan boys also have very
promising claim in this basin, the
Little Efie, on which they have a
IS foot tunnel.
Between Kansas and O'-Be-Joyful
gulch is Minercl basin, in which are
several good prospects, :he most prom
ising of which are the Decatur and its
extepslon the Rose Bud, the Little
May, Galena Gal and Hungarian
lodes. These carry galena. gray cop

ties. visited several other claims in
the vicinity but time and space for.
bids an extended notice. Twill only
mention the Daisy, Gazette and Bis
marck in Hardscrabble basin; Big
and Little Indian, Big Squaw, Little
Pappoos and Lena in Swan basin.
The Swan boys have built a cabip
and propose to work the Little Indian
until the Holidays, they have good
thing and are going to show it up.

AN assassin ApLARaE.

HARrNAsN, the Russian Nihilist and
murderer, is travelling ineognito 30 as 10
dodge Russian spies. He tells reporter
or the Chicago Tribuns that be Ibid not
come TO revolutionize this country, but
to investigate certaip points that ne IN
tends to remain some months, but that
so far be is not favorably impressed
with the system OF government here.
which is on too small pattern and Oh
too common an order for model. De-
cent people will beyery glad to learn that
Mr.. HARraANS has so poor an opinion
Of this country. "Too common an order
for a model is exceedingly good. Mr..
H.rxANN's idea OF a government is one
wherein the minority party may butcher
the leaders OF the sins" as means Of
turning the tables on them. 1t Is
very nice and bumsnizing school oil
politics" which Mr. Hartmann belongs
to- No doubt he entertsins the highest
regard for GUrrEAU and sympathizes
with him. Harpsr's Weekly, in an article
about HARTMANN, cannot suppress the
admiration it feels for him, despite
a faint attempt in the last para
graph to extract the venom by express
ing tame disapproval of his violent
methods. Indeed, the Republican press
has extended a great deal Of aid and
comfort to the Nihilists from the start.
The partyis itself so entirely the creature
of violence that thissympathy is natural
The theft OF the Presidency was a per-
Torrance that might have filed Leo Hart
mann's heart with Joy and admiration.
II should be remembered that one Of The
principal agents in that crime Was a muir
dercr. As to Hartmann, his incognito
will scarcely count, because Hdrper's
Weekly publishes likeness OF his striE-
ing countenance, which will enable
thousands of people to recognize the
man the moment they set eyes on him.
The sooner he is arrested and adequate
" punished the better it will be Tor
society everywhere. The fact that
portion of the decent press OF the Uni
ted States has tolerated him is a dis
grace to the country.

SCIENCE AND STARVATION.

DR.. TANNER, the staryationist, is in
the wilds OF Pennsylvania, iattening
himself for the ninety days fast which
he proposes soon to undertake. He
wants the New York Neurological So
ciety to watch him, and thinks he can
prove some new theories regarding the
human system. DR.. RoBERT A. GUM,
OF New York, says that TANNER's former
fast was OF value to science in the facts
established concerning the treatment of
persons recovering from starvation, due
either to accident or medical neces-
sity. 1t had been held that nothing
was more ridiculous than to give food
to such persons except in the most min
ute quantities. TANNER, however, ate
voraciously after his last, and was none
the worse tor it. His theory is that the
stomach remains collapsed and quiet il
it has absolutely nothing to do, but give
it little iuod and it Immediately setsto
work. Ii he quantity isvery small the
membranes work against each other. an
irritation follows which results in in'
tiammation OF the stomach and the
patient dies, but give the stom-
ach plenty OF food and the IT.
ritation will be avoided. DR.. GUM
states that, in two instances OF this
kind, he has given what would formerly
nave been regarded rs fatal dose of
food, and in both cases with success
Another point which is to be further in
vestigated, bears upon the materislistic
theory that mental operations are SIM
ply the combustion OF the phosphate
cells of the body. During TANNERS last
fast, he lost apparently all his phosphat.
ic matter, except what was in the bones.
and yet his mental operations were not
in the least affected. The msterialists
will have to invent a new theory OF
mind, surely. i
