THE SENATE BIRLE STOLEN.
What Chance is There Then for
II Treasury:

What Nance is There Then for
In Treasury:
New York Herald: A dispatch from
Washington says that some thief who had
neither the fear of the Almighty nor the
sanctity of the Senate in his soul has stolen
the Senate Bible. The sacred volume, we
are told, had been in the Senate Chamber
during q period of So years. In the Tween
ty-trst Congress John G. Calhoun, as Vice
President, handed it to John NJ. CLAYTON
OF Delaware, on which to swear his oath
Of office. John Forsyth kissed it as the
Senator from Georgia, Edward Livingston
from Louisiana, Daniel Webster from Mas
sachusetts, Thomas H. Benton from Mis-
souri,, Levi Woodbury. from New Hamp-
shire, Theodore Frelinghuysen from New
Jersey, Robert Y. Hayne from South Car
oliua and John Tyler from Virginia. ALI
these gentlemen, whose names have be-
come historic, were in the Twenty-first
Congress, three and fifty years ago, when
the Senate Bible which has so mysterious
ly disappeared was first placed on the desk
of the arch-apostle of notification. It's
abstraction would seem to argue pretty
hard times at the capital. As q rule ev-
erything worth laying hands on in Con-
gress speedily disappears. Thus far the
holy volume, sacred and sanctified in it
self, and doubly sanctitied and sacred by
the Senatorial kisses of unnumbered states
men, escaped until this unhallowed year
Of irreverent Ingersollism. Who took il ?
If the Senate Bible is not safe, what chance
has the Treasury

approach until May 20, when it's distance
will still be about SC, 1000, 900 miles from

not be conspicuous, however, until the
middle OF May, and by the end Of that
month and during June will, without
doubt, furnish a splendid display. About
10 days ago the comet became circumpolar

June 4 or 5, far down in the northeast,

THE WEIGHT OF ORE.
Fhe stock Reports Mathematician
---~~-Ii@nrea q


The San Francisco Stock Report pub
fishes a special dispatch from Carson in
regard to the Albion Richmond suit, which
contains the following remarkable fgur.
ing:
1.-THE result of Mr.. Robinson's testimony
Is that there are 5000 tons of ore in the
disputed ground, for which an average
value is claimed of Sis per ton. That
this statement is grossly overestimated is
apparent from the fact that Robinson esti-
mated a ton of ore at 10 cubic feet, while
in fact So feet of pure lead weighs one
ton; and, inasmuch as the average assay of
lead in all the disputed ground and for a
length of $40 feet along the line in the
richmond ground is less than "a per cent,
it may be said that Mr.. Robinson's esti-
mate is at least 33l5 per cent too high. For
that reason it may be assumed, granting
Mr.. Robinson's estimate of cubical con-
tents to be correct, that there is about
4,ooo tons of ore in the disputed ground"
Now, figures are too stubborn to be
twisted out of shape for ~anybody's conve-
%nience, and they are a good deal like edged
tools-not to be handled without care.
The Stock Report says that 81 cubic feet
of pure lead weigh one ton, when the fact
is that 81 cubic feet of pure lead weigh
a fraction more than three tons. The diff
ference is only a little more thar two
tons. In 10 cubic feet of ore, containing
"a per cent Of lead, there is more than one
ton of lead alone, accurately speaking,
2,409. 1920. According to the Stock Re
ports figuring, therefore, the ore in 10
cubic feet weighs less than nothing.
Granting that there is 81 per cent of lead
in the ore in question, as the Stock Re-
port does for the sake Of its calculations,
Mr.. Robinson's estimate is not 'at least
331a per cent too high" but, OIL the con-
trary, is considerably too low.

The Rich OLD Placer Disgings of
Mono County.

MONO
J. G. McTarnahan zone OF our nanc0uk
electors, the irrepressible john has for
the past year been making preparations
for hydraulicking at Dogtown Gulch, in
the old Mono diggings, where the ground
in 1862 was very rich in places. He left
Reno on the 22d en- route to Bridgeport,
to operations, which will be
continued until the ice and snow of next
Winter compel him to abandon the work.
He has a long fiume already constructed,
and an unlimited supply of water from
Green Greek is ready to be turned on.
Twenty men will be employed night and
day upon a bank IL to 20 feet high. The
ground is known to be good, and there are
thousands of acres equally valuable in that
vicinity.
Mr.. McTarnahan told O Reno Gazette
reporter that there would be no trouble
about slickens, as the land below the tail
race is of an alkali nature. and will be
greatly benefited by the sand and sedi-
ment which may be deposited o it. In
fact, Mr.. McTarnahan has been offered q re-
spectacle sum if he will divert his tail
lngs upon a certain farm in the vicinity.
The few small spots over which the slick
ems must necessarily flow, unless i'm
pounded, and which will not be benefited
by them, have been bargained for at a fair
price per acre, if damaged; so that every
thing between the miner and farmer has
been amicably arranged prior to COM
menclng operations. The gold obtained
at Dogtown is very fine, worth SIS per
ounce, while over the ridge, a mile distant,
IN Old Mono proper, it is worth not more
than S13. Several citizens of Reno are
interested in this venture. 1t is to be
hoped that it will be q profitable one.

A Poor Mans Daughter In School

There was a time, says the New York
Mail and Express, when a man in middle
life could send his daughter to a boarding
school for 5000 a year. Now $500 is the
average, and 81 900 not for
each pupil. The well bred child Of the
middle class, other than a speculative
father, finds that the clothes are a subject
OF distress to her. The teacher is giving
most Of his attention to the daughter OF
some man who gets his name in the news
paper, some broker in Wall street, some
man who has oornered wheat, or oats or
lard, some railroad conductor, who has
the a%rtifce to be a speculator and finally a
president. Discipline has passed away
from the better class of pay schools, be-
cause wealth was behind the student Sc
ducing the teacher. There is hardly a boy
in any of these proprietary schools who is
not smoking his cigarettes, and the teacher
dare not correct him because HIS father
pays too literally. Consequently there is
a discomfort rife in the multitude, which
will have a settlement unless there is
st%ates1panship enough in tho Government
to arbitrate in time.

Tho HAy Market.

Paradise Valley started in with an i'm
mense supply of hay. but it is all gone.
The same is true of the Carson Sink. AT
Reno, says the Gazette, hay sells for $40 a
ton, on the cars, baled, for the saw mills
up the river. Loose hay is worth about
IS. There is still considerable on hand.
1t seems almost p~rovidential that such a
very long and hard Winter caught the
country so full of feed. Last Fall the
farmers all over the country were wonder
ing where they could look for a market.
They had reaped enormous crops, but
there was no one to buy them. The ques-
ton has been solved in an unexpected
manner.

A Tremendous Crop.

DR., Glenn Of Colusa. Cal, hopes to raise
a million bushels Of wheat this year. He
has promised his foreman a bonus Of $1O,-
600 if that quantity is harvested on his
ranch this season. From all accounts
there is a prospect that the foreman will
get the "stake." 1t is understood that
Glenn would now rather raise a million
bushels of wheat in one year than be Post
master. On his ranch Of say 60, 900 acres
this yield would be 16ss bushels to the
acre. When it comes to raising grain by
the million bushels there is something in
farming that excites the imagination.

that one Of the principal causes why the
Acknowledgement trial dragged 80 labori-

Faure accumulators were placed, and they

5000 pounds-was a decided objection
but ive-horse power was obtainable for
five hours. It is asserted that cars can be
