How the Government Makes Money
Out OF Them.

How the Government AXE Money
Out OF Them:
The Treasury Department recently is
sued an order that mutilated. worn, or
otherwise uncurrent silver coins Of STAN
dard fneness, be received at the Mint in
sums Of So and upwards, at the rate of 81
per ounce. Commenting on this order,
the San Francisco Bulletin says it is a very
good thing for the Government, but rather
rough on the people. and briefly states the
case as follows 1.-THE Government buys
fine silver at 81 10 per ounce Of 4s0 grains,
1000 fine. 1t coins this silver at 1855
grains 900 line to the dollar, in half dol
lars, quarter dollars and dimes, and when
any of these coins become mutilated or
otherwise uncurrent, it buys them
back at the rate of every ounce of 480 Of
standard fineness. 1t will thus be seen
that the Government makes large profits
at both ends OF the bargain. Without 60
ing into minute calculation, it may be
stated that Ia ounces Of silver 1000 fine
will make $40 in half dollars 900 fine. The
Government pays So 20 for this IA ounces
of fine silver, and pays it out to the peo-
pie for $40. These half dollars contain
about 5 ounces of silver of standard fine
ness. So that $40 is made when the half
dollars are paid out, and 50 when they are
purchased back at the rate authorized by
the Mint

Full Hoods.

We have just received, says the Butte
Inter-Mountain, the particulars Of the
hand-to-hand conflict between Hank
Vaughn and Charles Long. at q little town
called Pineville, in Oregon, a few days
since. 1t seems that the two men had q
difficulty q few minutes previous to the
shooting. but it had been satisfactorily ad-
justed by the principals, as the spectators
supposed, and the two men shook hands.
This was on the street. After they had
shaken Vaughn exclaimed 81 I'M the
chief /" Long thought this remark a lit
tie out Of place, and remarked "You're
another " meaning. we suppose, that ne
was a liar. Vaughn told the crowd to
scatter, and both men pulled at the same
time. and commenced to Are at each other,
every ball from both pistols taking effect
in the others body. After the pistols had
been emptied Vaughn reached out his
hand to Long and said "Good-by, old
boy |" Long said "Good-by," and shook
hands, and they both fell dead.

THE MINE.
A Property Located by Some Eure.

A Property Located by Some Eure-
kans In Montana.
We are not going to speak of Guiteau at
present, says the Butte Inter-Mountain,
but will make mention Of a claim that was
located Friday which was styled "The
Crank" being given that name from the
fact that Crank No. /, Guiteau, was SEN
fenced On the day Of the discovery to be
hanged; the news having reached these
parts just before the christening ceremony
Of the mine took place. The parties max
ing this location were r. P. McDaniels,
Chas. Pryor and Tim Humphreys. Now
isn't ii a little strange that these parties
should come all the way from Eureka to
take up mining claims in this section ?
Yet, at second thought, when we consider
that they are mining experts, having been
inspectors Of the virgin soil for 10 these
many years, and knowing at sight just
what the dirt contains, we do not wonder
that they have pitched their tents among
US, and will try to find out what dame for
tune has in store for them in Silver City.
Their claim is about one mile north Of the
Moulton, and although but located Friday,
yet they have every indication that each Of
them will soon be taking their provender
from silver platters.

The Reno Gazette says the $40, 900 left
from the $50. 900 appropriation made to
complete the Asylum building will hardly
be sufficient to pay for all that has been
done, and finish up what has been COM
menced and what is absolutely necessary
to do before 1t is ready for occupancy.
The Commissioner have paid out 81, 500
insurance premium, and it will cost fully
1000 TO furnish the building. The water
tower and tank cost SO, 800, and when the
Commissioners get the necessary fencing
done and the ground cleaned up ready for
improvement. and get the gas works COM
pleted and o thousand and one other things
necessary to do before the patients are
brought over. the funds will be exhausted.
The Commissioners may have quite q
deficiency to report to the next Legislature.
1t is costing the State nearly s., 900 per
month to keep the patients under the ex-
isting contract with Langdon a Clark, and
that appropriation will be exhausted by
the latter part Of October, which will
necessitate the issuing Of scrip to run the
institution from Nov. l until the next
Legislature makes another appropriation.

A visitor to Eureka examined the Eu-
reka Tunnel property yesterday. He has
been interested in mines for rs years, q
part OF which time has been worked
underground with pick and shovel. He
says that for an undeveloped mine the
Tunnel has an excellent prospect; that II
he had seen IL elsewhere than in Eureks
District he would think much less OF II,
but being here there is reason to expect
that II will turn out as other similar
formations have turned out. the Rich
mond and Eureka Con-. for example,
which, like It. are in lime formation.
From general experience he would other
wise be very ohary OF investing In this
formation.

A Bridal Couples Experience in
Bath ROOM.

A newly married pair, who arrived on their
honeymoon trip at a celebrated Scotch water
ing place when accommodations was at q
premium bad a mattress spread for them by
a compassionate innkeeper in one Of his bath
rooms. In the middle OF the night the house
was alarmed by loud shrieks proceeding from
the nuptial chamber. What was the matter?
Well, this The young bride, wishing to ring
for a servant, had caught hold Of what she
supposed to be the bell-rope, and pulled 1t
sTartly. Unhappily FOR her and her spouse,
it was the cord of the shower bath over their
heads, and forthwith down plunged such q
deluge of cold water as would throw dampcr
upon the most devoted of honeymooning
couples. Her husband, in dismay, caught
frantically at another cord on his side CT the
extemporized couch, but the only response
was an equally liberal deluge of water, this
time nearly boiling hot. The unhappy pair
screamed in unison. When the servants
came, they found the floor of the room flooded
with water, and the wife was perched like
monkey on her husbands back, uttering the
most lamentable cries, while her good man
was fumbling about in the dark, trying his
best to find the door.-Losdos Teiegrdph.
