MINING IN HOT PLACES.

If there are to be found anywhere il
the world set of human salamanders,
we may claim the credit of having them
here on the Comstock. What would
scorch man who lives wholly on the
surface chills miner Injured to the
heat of the lower levels. A miner who
has been for some months past working
in one Of the hottest sections of the
Comstock, a day or two since, gave a
reporter his experience of the heat
which miners are often called upon to
encounter. He says that in working at
points where the thermometer marks
115 to 120 degrees great thirst is expe-
rienced. No ice water is too cold to be
swallowed with relish. Men go to
the water barrel in which huge chunks
of ice are floating about, and with their
picks chop up the ice in order that the
water may be rendered colder by being
filled with fine fragments. Often this
does not satisfy them and they chew
and swallow Jumps of ice.
The natural temperature of the hui
man body-of the blood-is about nine
ty-eight degrees, Fahrenheit, therefore,
when a man remains in hot place for
an hour, or even half an hour, his
blood, and his whole body, becomes
heated to the temperature of 115 to 120
degrees, or whatever may be the tenn
perature of the place in which he is at
work. 1t is then the miner begins to
pour down ice water and eat ice. The
strangest thing about the business is
that it does not hurt any of the men.
Often they swallow such quantities of
ice water that their stomachs will not
retain it. All they do on such occa-
sions is to swallow more of the same
water, but more cautiously.
When the men are working in ex-
tremely hot places the temperature of
the place to which they come to cool
off-the cooling-off station is probably
100 degrees. This temperature-which
would almost roast a surface man-ap-
pears cool to man who has come from
a place where the thermometer marks
10 to lis degrees. In a place where
the thermometer is ninety the man will
feel SO cold as to shiver. Often at the
cooling-of station, where the tempera-
ture is 100 degrees, the perspiration will
cease and the man will begin to feel
very uncomfortable. On leaving and
going back to where the temperature is

from 115 to 12O, as the perspiration be-
gins to start, there is for a minute OF
two an intolerable itching over the
whole body. AS each closed pore re-
opens it produces a tingling sensation.
However, as soon as there is a free
flow of perspiration, all this trouble
ceases, and the man feels quite comfort
able and so remains until his whole
body-blood, flesh and bones-again
reaches a temperature of from 10 to
120, when he becomes wild for ice water
and ice. 1t is not little strange
when we consider that ninety-eight de-
grees is the natural temperature of the
blood-that serious results do not follow
exposure to a degree Of heat almost
sufficient to cook the blood in the veins.

the assay office, at New York, are so
delicate that when brought to balance
with two pieces of paper of equal size

paper to turn the scales in its favor.

ArRoc1ous MURDER.

ROME Courier The people in the
vicinity of Gnatvile Church, 10
Cherokee county Alabama, were
throws into fearful excitem last
Saturday morning 10 upon learning
that the residenc Of Mira Tankers
ley, widow lady, and her charred
remains were 10 the still smoking
embers of her late home. II was
known by some of the neighbors thsl
Mrs. TAnkersley had considerable
sum of money, supposed to be about
1000, a part of which was 10 gold
aud silver. As soon as they could
clear off the embers, they commenc>
ed searching for the money. BY
digging round in the ground where
the her house had stood they
fouDd tin bucket that contained in
gold and silver coin $762 so, most
of this in gold. Atrocious, cold
blooded villainy was suspected and
and suspicion soon rested on two
brothers, Tom and Boiler Moon,
nephews of the murdered woman.
One of them was arrested and the
other fed and had not been arrested
up to Monday morning. The fact
that one of the brothers fled seems
to almost fix their guilt, and the
people are determined to catch the
escaped one if possible, and at all
events bring the guilty parties to
deserved punishment.

if she might buy a dress, as she
needed it, and the cost would be less

THE COMING ELECTIONS.

VIZ are to have q number OF cleo
tions within the next eleven months.
In October, we have an election for
governor and members Of the Lrgis-
lature, in November, for members Of
Congress, and 10 January following,
for the various county Ulcers, with
the exception of that of Ordin .ry
The Democracy will hardly fail this
inc to nominate a candidate for
Governor, while the Independents,
Liberals and Radicals have announce
ed their purpose of having a man
before the people for the same Of
fee. There will also be more than
one candidate for congress. In all
probability men of ability will repre-
seq. both sides. We hope that the
campaign may be conducted in such
way as not to bring shame upon
the State, bat we fear that much
trouble will result from it. The last
canvass engendered evils that will be
slow to pass away. There are too
many of these elections. They agi-
tate the people, paral5 re business,
and crafty nobody but the Office
seekers. The whole tendency of
the thing is to decentralization.
