Ereland's Mineral wealth.


A Pacific Coast mining man, travelling
recently through Ireland, was astonished
at the immense mineral wealth entombed
in that country. Ireland has vast iron
deposits. These alone ought to enrich
her. She has besides these copper de-
posts OF great magnitude. lead. oxide OF
Manganese, with silver ores, antimony,
blend, cobalt, nickel. crome and arsenic.
Bismuth also exists. There are also de-
posits Of goal at hand to snrelt and reduce
these ores into metal. The ircn stone of
Ireland works in the peighbcrhood Of 90
per cent, and her copper from IS to 40 per
cent. The grand water power OF this
country cannot be excelled. and could be
easilyutilized for all kinds of manufacturing
purposes, giving employment to hundreds
Of thousands Of her people. 1t would be
we'll for the friends Of Ireland, who are
agitating for the country's welfare, and
who wish to regenerate her financially,
socially and morally, to study such facts
es these, for, be it known, the regenera-
ton Of ireland osn be achieved by other
and better means than political warfare.
There is no greater producer of wealth,
happiness and prosperity on the surface OF
the globe than mines. +.

A Cute Celestial.

Recently in Butte, Montana, where Chi
namen play faro a good deal, a mild man.
nered heather slid into a faro game, and
after losing a few dollars pulled out a lit.
tie package of gold dust and laid it on the
. ace. The ace lost, and the dealer, pick
ing up the package, unfolded it and
weighed out the dust, which was $50
worth. He was about to cast the paper
aside when the Celestial motioned to it
and asked that it might be given back as it
had some washing accounts on it. The
paper was returned and tho next night he
was there again, betting $50 in gold dust
as before. He put his package carefully
on the ace and won. The dealer handed
out $50 and the ChinamaR shook his
head.
"What's the matter, John ?"
"You payee allie I bet. One hundred
and fifty dollar"
The dealer laughed CONTEMPORARY, but
the heather, unrollinG the package, e1-
hibited a s1oO bill laid in between the
double piece Of paper which contained tho
dust.
The dealer looked very cheap, but the
Chinaman never moved = muscle. He
acted as if it was the regular thing to keep
$500 greenbaok folded up in his gold dust
packages.
"Pay it," said the lockout man; "hs's
got us dead"
The same bill was in the paper the night
before, but the dealer handed it back,
thinking it was a wash bill. But Of course
this wasn't the Chinaman's fault.

Railroad Racket.

The Butte Miner says the great bridge
over the Missouri River at Bismarck was
tested aud formally opened on the 21st
inst. The bridge, as it now stands COM
plete, consists of three 3O0-feet spans. and
the two approaches, each 113 feet. resting
upon three huge piers. From the flooring
to upper chord of bridge is fifty feet high,
while from the bottom of deepest founda-
ton to the top chord Of the bridge is 1870
feet. Total weight of each span il 875, $50
tons. At 1885 A. NJ, on the 21st, the first
test of four engines moved very slowly
across, amidst strains Of music from the
bank. Twenty minutes later the second
and great test, of a line of engines 800 feet
long, reaching the whole length OF the
spans, passed over amidst q storm OF ap-
plause, which was answered by shrieks
from the engines in unison. The test was
entirely satisfactory to the engineers. The
structure seemed immovable under the
immense weight put upon it.
The New Northwest is enthusiastic over
the advent of the railroad, and closes a
long article upon the subject thusly: eve
bid the Utah & Northern and all other
railroad companies welcome. Life is too
short to fool way time upon OK teams or
stage coaches. Hail to tho railroad"

TUCSON "a. IT,, Nov. 1.-The Stars
Benson, Arizona, special says: Governor
Ortez of Sonora has just arrived, with a
body guard, from Hermosillo. A Star
correspondent called upon the Governor,
who stated that on Sunday he, with his
Cabinet and troops, returned to Hermo-
sillo from Guaymas and he disbanded his
troops. Last night at a late hour General
Reyes troops attacked she house OF Ortez
and commenced firing, killing four of his
body guard. Ortez' men returned the
fire, killing five Federals and woundins
others. The railroad officials, seeing the
danger, rendered Ortez a guard and a
special train to fee for his life. He
crossed the line this morning, and leaves
for the City of Mexico tomorrow Wis New
Orleans. He says he will make an appeal
to the Central Government for aid. An
tonic Escalants, Vice. Governor, has as
sumed Gubsrnatorial authority. This is
what Reyes demanded from the first.
Ortez is much detected and worn out.
Some of his intimate friends say he never
will return to Sonora. This ends the
revolution.

The stanford Mansion for Sale.

San francisco Report, Oct. az.
1t is understood in financial circles that
the elegant and imposing residence of ex-
Governor Leland Stanford, on the south
west corner of California and Powell
streets, is up for sale. The house is truly
palatial in appearance and was erected at
an expense of at least 81, DOC, 900. 1t is
one of the sights Of the city and by reason
Of its great size and conspicuous position
invariably attracts the attention of the
stranger who enters the city by way of
the Oakland Ferry. The massive walls
enclosing the residence lot measurably
detract from the architectural beauty Of
the house, as studied from the street, but
otherwise the faults Of construction are
few and far between. The ex-Governor's
reason for desiring to sell the residence
did not accompany the report that the
place was up for sale and that, within the
past ten days, several gentlemen of ade-
quate means had visited the premises on
a tour Of observation. The Ex-Governor
owns 30 many elegant residences that one
more or less makes nc difference to him;
and, again, he has arranged to pass the
half of each year in the city OF New York.
The report that the Stanford residence is
for sale has created quite a lutter in local
real estate circles and speculation is rife
as to the price asked by the owner,
