.! SUGGESTIONS
FOR TENDERFEET.

At this season of the year there are
a great many OF our eastern cousins
vending their steps thitherward :.
Some for pleasure and health while
Others to better their financial condi-
ton. The following article was writ
ten by gentleman in this camp, to
a paper in New York state, and con-
taias great deal of primary infor-
nation for those VINO propose to
follow prospecting:
1t may not be uninlerestlng to the
many readers Of your paper to have a
few points as to how the mining bust
ness is carried on from its infancy.
The prospector is zone thing neces-
sary" for mines. He is the discoy-
ercr; and the intelligent prospector
usually is benefited in his find Of a
good lead. There are two classes of
claims, ':lode" and the "placer"
claims. The former includes all claims
where mineral is found in fiSsures or
veins in the rock. The latter is where
gold is found in beds OF streams,
where it has been washed from the
veins in which it was originally de-
posted. The prospector is the pio
neer Of mining. H wanders over the
mountains, up and down gulches, on
the lookout for "acat:" This float
is of differen character IN different
localities, and IS loose rock contain
ing mineral, such as iron pyrites,
quartz, etc., and when found is fol,
lowed up the mountain and gulch,
and the veins or leads from which
these rocks came, looked for. Some
times this isa very tedious search.
The work of centuries may have SO
covered up and hidden the lead that
the only way to find it is to trench or
ditch through it. This prospecting Of
course is an uncertain business. A
prospector may spend days. weeks,
yes, even months, prospecting before
he "strikes it, However, upon
conversing with prospectors that have
followed it for years you will find that
as class they have been successful.
They have made strikes and sold out
for from ST.. 90 to 100, ,ooo. and then
spent it at gambling .,aI 1.o.oas living,
There is another class of prospectors,
-7euacy5teet,-that come to Col
orado in June, prospect during July
and August, and then return east,
cursing mines and mining. and all
they know about either does not
amount to row of pins. After the
prospector has found his lead, then he
is to erect stake and write upon 1t
the name of the lead, tie date of dis
covery, the general direction of the
lead, claimed, the distance each way
from the stake, and the name of the
claimant. He Is allowed 1900 feet
along the lead and $50 feet on each
side. He has now sixty days to work
an assessment which must expose not
less than ten feet of the lead. This
may be done by either shaft, or an
open cut, cross-cut. or a tunnel.
Then he has thirty days more, or
ninety days from the time of dlscov-
cry, to survey and record his location

Mr.. SHARMAN CRAWFORD sends . long
letter to the London Times, pointing
out the substantial distinction between
an Irish and an English landlord. An
English landlord provides the raw ms-
terial, the land, and the fixed plant, be-
side the buildings, fences, and drainA.
An Irish landlord lets only tho bare
land. The tenant drains, and fences,
and builds, and is then liable to eviction
without compensation, unless he pays
q rack-rent on land made rcntable solely
through his labor. When evicted ho

The Noon No. a Dead Star.

/. Dr.. II. j. Klein, who two years ago
announced new crater IN that wcSld u
extinct volesnoes, ths moon, has hri.f
article in La Natasre, IN whish he gives
reasons for believing that to- moon is
not dead He has recently examined
drawings Of the neighborhood Of t.ls
new crater by Gruithuisen, which.
strongly confirm the theory Of recent
changes on the lunar surface, and cit.s
also the drawings of Messrs Nelson AND
Green in further proof thereof, Prcs
Klein sdds that he announced the nev
depression near Hyginus AZ . crater,
from analogy. It is crater funnel, HAd
even one Of the largest. Toward tina
south there is shallow spoon shaped
hollow, which terminates In . second
small crater. In fuu sunlight, when tho
interior Of the Lzge hollow OF the orator
is no longer IL shadow, the spoon-shaped
hollow may be seen as gray spot. by
the use Of high powers it is remarked
that the environs Of the new crater ar-
pear to be fssuTed in bewildered mar

1t is impossible as yet to decide whet|,-
er this formation is really volcanic.
There is one cu-ious fsct, however,
which would seem TO indicate that
mountain of smoke has at one time beea
seen on the moon. On July 2, 1872.
Schroter and ORDERS examined a noun
tain situated in the Sea Of Vapors. This
mountain, which was ascertained 10 be
3,450 fee. in height, has been seen
neither before nor since, and was prob.
ably merely mass Of vspor. The for
nation measured by Schroter has dis-
appeared from the moon; and, nearly in
the same place, there is now a crater.
There sometimes occur, too, on the sur
face of the moon, nebulous strata H
very long duration, which have no anal
ogues on the earth. He who examines
carefully the materials furnished by tho
numerous observations made on lunaf
formations from the time of Gruithison
up to our own day, says Prot. Klein, will
arrive At the conclusion that things aro
going On upon the surface of this neigh.
boring world which we as yet can know
nothing about.

THE Louisville Commercial intimates
that we get our ideas on the sore. head
movement of McHenry Il Co. from
the Comier.Joltrnal. The organ of
the s. h. m. is mistaken. We feel in
the matter like all honest men must,
that those who go into the convention
and thereby agree to abide its decision,
act dishonorably when, because their
man is not chosen, they refuse to sup
port the nominee. The sore.heads
have not only done this, but they have
nominated a candidate of their own,
and gone over horse, foot and Dragon,
into the lines of the enemy. We are
glad TO labor with the Courier journal
in denouncing such traitors, and we
heartily wish that we could so thor
oughly agree with it on every other
question.
