subterranean PASSAGES.

Scientific attention has been eager
ly directed towards Nevada of late
owing to the fossil foot prints found
at the state Prison quarry. A great
many theories have been advanced
relative to the origin OF the tracks,
and incidentally to the formation of
the country al the period when they
were made, Some OF these theories
assume subterranean passages as the
cause of the disappearance OF the
water in the Carson Sink, and it
would be worth the attention of those
Interested to examine tho curious
little reptiles found i'll the pools near
The sink with view to determining
whether they do not belong to the
crocodile species ana have made
their way from tropical regions
through some underground channels
which probably open during the
times of the food, and are closed by
the settling of the loose soil when
.the water becomes 81 low that Ine

RIack Leg.

Black Leg has made its appearance
among the cattle down the Carson
River. 3ailey's large herds near the
Sink have suffered to the extent of
200 or 300. John CARING, at B g
Bend, has lost 20 or 80, and other
stock owners are losers to all extent
which shows that the disease Is
spreading and will probably infict
serious loss on the cattlemen this
year.

Of rs feet has been run to the old
workings and 25 feet below connec

Raleigh Outcome.

Such examples of gallantry as Sir
Walter Raleigh, who spread his rich
cloak in the mud that Elizabeth
might walk across the street dry
shod; Sir FEDERICO, who killed his
pet falcon in order to prepare a fit
ting repast for the YONG widow Of
his love, and the others of which
history or romance speak must take
a back seat in the Temple of fame
as soon as some poet shall embalm
in verse the deeds of a well.to do
citizen of Boston. He has not the
figure or appearance commonly at
tributed to gailants, being, II The
truth be told, somewhat obese and
so destitute of halr that mis- noble
brow extends very nearly to the nape
of his neck. But he has shown him
self capable of rare devotion to the
fair sex, as witnesses of the follow
ing occurrence will testify. He went
to dine At a restaurant, and opposite
him at the table sat lovely young
woman. The flies, as often happens
at this time of the year, were annoy
ing, and, with the malevolent inge-
nuity OF their kind, seemed to find
the bald head Of our friend a desira-
BILE place to roost. Accordingly he
would wildly wave his napkin about
his Uranium and drive them away
for time. But presently he noticed
that the flies driven from his side OF
the table, hetook themselves to his
Wis avis, and caused her excessive
annoyance. Upon this discovery he
made no more assaults upon his tor
mentors, but during the rest OF the
meal remained serenely smiling,
with the insects conducting explora-
ton parties to all quarters of his
skull, aud consOling himself for his
bN perceiNiu1 that they

The swimming season is about
over; in fact the water is so low in
the river that the average Daytonite
is afraid adventure to take bath for
fear he will not fluid enough water to
battle his feet. No insinuations.
Riley Houghman came up from
his ranch on Wednesday. He re-
ports the water in the river lower
than for years, but still sufficient for
present needs. He also reports a
watermelon patch which will soon
repay a raid.
J. l.. Robinson has purchased
fruit ranch near Newcastle, Cal. Mrs.
Robinson, who has lately returned
from a visit of inspection to her new
home, brought with her some of the
finest fruit ever eaten. Jack is now
busy packing fruit for the market,
and his family will join him about
September first. The best wishes of
the whole town go with them.
Superintendent Rickard, formerly
of the Richmond, tells the Eureka
Sentinel that on his return from the
Arizona and ew Mexico section he
visited the Lake Valley mine, belong
ing to Geo. ID. Roberts. He speaks
of it a. really very rich affair, and
says he saw one section of the vein,
80 feet in length and depth, which
gave an average assay of $4,000 in
gold to the ton. A choice piece of
the ore, extra rich in gold, has been
SCI to the Denver Exposition. 1t
weighs 900 pounds, and the assay
value OF the piece is $4,000.
A minister in Maryland is deeply
lamenting the rule of majority ID
his church. There was a demand
for prayers for rain, but as many of
the membs had not harvested their
crops, they were DESTROYS of having
the petition deferred for a while.
The matter was left to vote of the
members, and by very small major
ity it was decided TO have no rain.
Even then the parson declined to
psoffer the necessary prayer, but
| Providence was on the side OF the
purpose OF the majority. The flood
gates opened. The roads were wash
ed out. The bridges were carried
away. Great damage was done to
the growing crops. But the MAORI
ty ruled.

Coming from the PICNIC.

There was a sociable German pic
mic at the Sutro ranch last sunday.
On the return trip an open carriage
came near tipping over, but a gen.
tleman sitting on the front seat jump
ed of and prevented an accident by
holding it up. In this he differed
somewhat from the performance of
the candidate who returning from
the Workingmen's picnic on the
outside of stage loaded with women
was so overcome by the combined
effects OF slight lurch and sundry
beers that he fell of under the hors-
es feet dragging lady with him.
However, they were rescued without
serious injury but considerably
frightened, and the political aspirant
with berry frankness, when he was
lifted up, illustrated the truth Of a
common saying relative to extreme
fear by suddenly expressing a desire
not usually mentioned in polite so
cietY.

Some Arizonn Mining Fncts.

North AmerIca produces to-day two thirds of the precious metals of tho world. In the days of King Solomon there was such an abundance of sllyel and gold that 1t was almost worthless fol commercial purposes. No mining ruin, being found m Europe, Asia and Africa IS 1t not presumptive that the precious metals were ObtaIned from ths Ameri cans2 Arizona covers an area of 72,OO0,- 000 acres of land; fOur-tenths uf whicl IS mineral bearing. IL Is larger than New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware combined. Since lS4s there has been extracted from seven states and territories the sum of g., ,lOO,. JOO,0OO, for which California Is credited Sl,l4s,3O7, ,73l; Nevada, S469, l25, ,943; Ida no, S7l, ,5f3,9Jl; Oregon and Washington Ierritury, S4S, S,637, ,25l: Utah, Sj5, ,SiS,s and Arizona Sl7,9jO,l74 Arizona Is cer- tanly one Ofthe most marvellous portions of the Northern Continent. Its noun tain ranges extended through the entire Territory and exhibit a granite ! neuclus which constitute the framework of the country in connection with trachyte, ba- salt, lime, poryhry and sandstone in which are found nearly all the precious and base metals known to the scientific world. Gold and silver have been found beneath every stroke of the prOspectOr' $ pick. Many yeals ago the learned Hum- DOldt pronunced Arizona the richest and the most diverse mineral region in the world In earnest work 1t Is but four years old, and sub- jected to constant depredatiOns Of white and aboriginal marauding, and yet we have already seen it's amazing pecuniary results. Cnnabar and tin and nickel constitute a portion of its wealth. Plat mum has been discovered in the Black Canyon. The whole Santa Cruz valley teens with lead, while Yuma county Is field of argentiferOus galena. The HacimientO desert abOunds with blood red garnets. Beds of gypsum and salt deposits are detected within a short dis- tance from the DragoOn mountains. In 1878 the present mining camp of Tomb stone was bowling waste. Up to Jan uary, 1882, S7,359, 200 have been extract ed from that locality, and S3,OO0,OOO of the total amount has been paid in divi- deuds. Its mineral IS a chloride of sil- yer and carbOnates. II mineral occurring in large caves and strata, IS found in such abundance, upon a hill of slight elevation, with no evidence Of volcanic eruption, 1t is very evident that the many lofty ranges of mountains difTused throughout the Territory, when fully prospected, will develop in most as- founding richness. The Silver King mine, in Pinal county, has already paid in dividends SS75,0OO, the first-class ore milling from $500 to S20,000 Such salient facts, with secured safety from Indian and white depreciation, should secure large immigration and a profuse flow of capital.
